You out of order Mr.. Achisky. Sit

At that moment Senator Carter was
on his feet, and with fine sarcasm OBJ
jected to laws or authorities being
quoted in a body which was absolutely
lawless.
Senator Brown picked up his hat,
left the Senate chamber saying-per-
haps it is just we'll that the repor-
ters' table is in the background of the
hall, so his remarks could not be dis
tinctly heard. Taken by shorthand the
parting remarks of the Senator could
/, not be reported as BLESS you all, but
it was something to that effect.
In the meantime Senator Crabbe had
Spied the Governors secretary, stove
pipe, envelope and all, patiently walt
ing for some one to attend to him, and
he demanded to know where the SER
geant-at- arms was; that official, who
is the son-in-law of Senator White,
being out of sight, and probably in the
House, to find out whether there was
any show for a dig-up on the appro-
priation proposition during the day.
While the bodyguard was hunted for
by messengers, janitors, etc, Billy
White got off an awful good joke. He
suggested to the chair that Achi should
use Gushing" as cushion, and sit
down comfortably Cha! ha! had.
The sergeant-at-arms was found. and
the message received by the august
body" 1t reads:
To the Legislature of the Territory of
Hawaii:
Upon the approval of AN Act to pro-
vide a government for the Territory of
Hawaii, 1 requested Judge Walter f.
Frear, of the Supreme Court, to pre-
pare a revision of the Hawaiian laws
as affected by such Act.
! My reasons for doing so We're as
follows:
I Judge Frear had been a member of
the commission to recommend to Con
greSs legislation concerning the Ha-
waiian Islands.
| He had also prepared the text for
! publication printed by the Federal
Government, entitled the Laws OF Ha-
wall, which comprised the Civil Laws,
Penal Laws and the Session Laws of
! 1898. modified in conformity with the
recommendation of the Hawaiian com
mission.
The Organic Act as finally adopted
departed in many instances from the
original draft as reported by the com.
mission, and the publication referred
! to became thereby defective state
ment of Hawaiian laws.
The familiarity with the subject
which Judge Frear thus acquired gave
him special qualifications for the WORK
of putting the Hawaiian laws in
revised form for permanent use. Much
| time might De SdNtu ny sum SS'i - y
vision.
The item of $4,000 In the estimate:
for compiling and publishing revised
laws. was intended to cover $1,000 fol
the work of compiling andsrevising
about $500 for translating into Ha
waiian, s.. 600 for publishing IN ootf
languages. and $500 for incidentals. In
GLIDING reading and preparation of al
index and table of contents.
The cost of publishing the Civil ant
Penal Laws was, / understand, $40
500 The English version of this worl
is now practically exhausted.
| recommend that the Legislature
take measures to acquire Judge Frear'
revision, which is now substantial!
complete, and enact the same at tn
present session as a Hawaiian Code
and provide for the publication there
of. SANFORD % DoL ~.

For reasons unknown, Senate
Crabbe took exception to the omission
Of the Governor to affix his official It'll
to the message. and claimed that tn
matter referred to in the message ha
the signature of one Sanford B. Dole

in 1898. and he wanted to know whethe
