Notwithstanding the fact that the
Senate dispensed with the usual Sat
urday half holiday, the days leg
islauve labors resulted in very
little program taken as a whole. Ad-
journment was finally taken before
the order Of the day was reached.
The matter Of resolutions seemed TO
be the stumbling block in the way OF
progressive lawmaking. Over these
learned statesmen wrangled long anu
waxed warmly eloquent
Mr. Baldwin touched of a large
sized disturbance when he submitted
a report for the Committee on Public
Expenditures. The report was left
in an unsettled state when the noon
recess was taken. IL was taken up
again at o'clock. and for the space
OF an hour and a half the matter was
thrashed over. at the close OF which
time the solution was no closer to a
settlement than when the first gun
was fired
Mr. Baldwin's report related to the
Governors message, dated April 9th,
1901. relative TO additional estimates

the city for what they termed high

Cecil Brown was soon upon the
scene with resolution. II read:

dered TO be printed and translated
and have been done so in pursuance
of the order of the Senate"
Cascades OF Improbable discussion
and torrents of oratory were sent
forth. The little Ion in the bungalow
was well nigh inundated by the open
ing OF the fioodgates, Senator Kalau-
okalani regretted that a violent pro,
test had been made against the work
OF the Printing Committee, They
were doing the best they could under
the circumstances. II would greatly
hamper the work OF the committee -
delay consideration Of their report.
as further work would not be perform,
ed by local printing houses unless he
printers were assured that they would
be reimbursed. The same condition OF
affairs existed in regard to the trans
lation Of legislative printing.
Mr.. Baldwin evidently sighted some
rough weather. He was there with
the goods" and had a resolution -
smooth over matters. reading thus:
"Be IL resolved. that the Printing
Committee be and il is hereby author
lied TO have all bills now in It's pos
session translated and printed. AMI
