Although the House az its meeting
yesterday passed the act providing for
the payment OF the unpaid bills OF the
various departments upon first reading,
there is a good prospect that there will
be such a fight prenipituted before Fri
day that the end of the session may be
put on, even now that It il In sight
, Behind this fight Is the old plant of
the cNtrayagances Of the House. When
the extra session was called there was
no money to pay any quantity of bills
which had been put over There was q
scramble for the cash, and as the
| House had got to the money first II
was tUe senate bills which went over.
/ Th' " y" $1,000 was licked up in short
order When the last appropriation
came up there was movement in the
Senate to provide enough to pay all
bills that might arise and as a result
there was al, amendment which put the
amount in the Appropriation bill AT
$4,000. instead of the first amount, $l5,-
600. The compromise which Was reach
ed came about in the Conference Com
mittee. The conferees asked fOI actual
figures as to expenditures but
were impossible of ascertaiEhrul, as
it would have required great hardihood
! for any one to estimate what was t."
be cone IL the matter of Introducing
! bills, and thus show what was to be-
paid out in the way Of printing. The
best estimate was that the Senate
would need $4,000 and the liuusa Sc COO.
to which the sum of $1,000 fuT each
House was added. and the bill passed
at St1,Go0
Events have proved the correctness of
the estimates on the part of the Senate
coaferees, for should the Senate adjourn
on Saturday there would remain, after
al! bills had been paid, some So to the
credit of the upper body, out of the
apportionment of that last appropria
ton. But the House is not so fortu-
nate. The money set apart for that
body will not hold out. This estimate is
that there will be a shortage when all
hills are paid, of something like s., 900
which will have to GO over to the next
session of the Legislature, unless the
members stay here for another week or
attach their bills to the deficiency meas
ure, which is now under consideration
The former course is not to be thought
of at all. they say, and the latter pro-
poses some difficulties The way at
last seems to be opened for the lower
body to get the money for its bills and
this plan may cause a deadlock in the
upper body. "
One of the three amendments which
have been put into the unpaid Bills act
Is that which provides for the repay
ment OF $1,929.SS to the Hawaiian Fer
tilizer Company. which paid that

Senator Carter persuaded the Senate. Of
the correctness of this claim and the
result was Its insertion In this BIZ. The
House Is perfectly Willing.to pass The
item as to the cash butnft Pfoposes ITO
make new object FOR the acknowledgment. |
There is sentiment ip. favor, of apply
ing the amount to the payment of the
bills incurred by the ..I-sgislatuHeu and
1t is said that this will, be dpneawh
today, the bill is refereed torcomnittae
for action. The RESULTS certain Gthere
will be n fight provoked in che Senate
which may make il hard or impossible
for the final adjournment to take place
Saturday. as is now prqpSsed.
Members Of the Upper House insist
that the bills Of the Legislature SHOULD
be paid out of specific, appropriation
for the purposeu There will be argu
ments made setting forth that as there
is no more mOnewin the Treasury to
the account ~ the running expenses |
there should h" n putting orr of the bills |
or an appropriation made for the pur- |
pose The first win not appeal TO the !
men to whom y" money is due and the |
second would mean six days more. This |
is not to be thouchtI Of. and there will |
result another disagreement between |
the two bOdiear,, g. ..... t.Ia. |
