to the trip to the leper settlement
Mr. Brown stated a joint committee

Afternoon Session.
4 score or more rules were consid-
cred at the afternoon session and for
quite stretch of time there would
not be the slightest objection from
either side. The session was a com
paratively short one, as adjournment
was taken shortly before o'clock.
Once or twice only were small
punches of hot talR Landed out. but
despite a few drawbacks of & minor
nature. the Senate had about reached
the eightieth rule, before quitting the
hall. At several stages in the proceed
ings the minority were found voting
alongside of the majority. In fact the
bursts of speed maintained in the
adoption of punches of rules proved
TO be an agreeable surprise to the
spectators, as well as a refreshing
innovation Should the remainder of
the rules be rushed through at the
same rate, the Senate will be ready
to join their fellow legislators in the
House on the trip to Molokai.

Many of them excited the risibles of

interested spectators.
Mr.. Carter went on record yester-
day by voting with the majority on |
one or two occasions during the af- |
ternoon session, when the considera- |
ton of rules was in order.
The passage of the White amend |
ment led Mr.. Carter to declare that |
he was an allopath and not homeo |
path when il came to administering |
doses of reform in the Senate.
When the smoke of battle had |
cleared after the passage of amend |
ment to rule "a. a score or more rules |
were adopted with rapidity and |
unanimity that was refreshing.
Several members of the minority |
took occasion on the floor of the Sen |
ate to deny the soft Impeachment that |
they were "obstructionists." The maj |
ority element looked wise, but said |
nothing.
