III senate was the only incident 81
interest CONNECTED slth the Sen
ate yesterday. and though severely cen
sur.d by the chair. there are many who
think that Senator AChi was right
Shortly after the morning session Mas
called 10 order. Achl ASKED permission
20 Introduce bin for the benefit of The
fire sufferers, and made a rousing
speech In support Of his motion. re-
WAS Interrupted by Senator white, who
rose 10 point OF order but failed TO
state H. and Achi appealed To- the chair.
As has been customary all through
the Senate proceedings. Russell sought
advice from the secretary. and this
was objected 10 by the senator, who
could not see what right Caypless had
10 interfere. Waxing warm. the angry
Senator declared that Caypless should
be kicked out" and AZ the president
jumped TO his feet every one was at
tention. 1t Is the first time that there
has been any angry words in the SEN
ate chamber and all wondered what ac-
ton Russell would take.
81 call you to order" he said sit
down"
Achi obeyed the mandate .1f the chair
speak again and once more received his
instructions 10 sit down and remain
seated until given permission to rise.
All through the sessions Of both the
morning and afternoon It vas evident
that the Independents had something
up their sleeve. and every effort on the
part OF the Republicans 20 transact
business met with debate. and invaria-
dependents carried the day by sheer
force Of numbers.
!, Senator Carter made a futile attempt
to block the game of the Home Rulers
by moving to adjourn until 1870 O'Clock
in the evening, and thus prevent the
usual caucus held by them. but again
this was frustrated by the majority. It
was evident from their subsequent ac-
ton that they did not oppose the mo-
ton to adjourn from any desire to
work. az they Immediately took adj
vantage Of another motion for adjourn
ment until this morning
So long az the Senate continues to do
business without rules. just so long will
tine Independents have fun sway. and
so thoroughly are they banded together
under the leadership Of Senator White
that they have in addition The advant-
age OF organized power.
Another point OF disadvantage for the
Republican side Of the house is the fact
that Interpreter Bush is very careful to
interpret every speech and motion ut
tered In the English language. but is
equally negligent in translating
speeches and motions expressed in Ha-
waiian.
Three Senators, Carter. Baldwin and
G. Brown. failed to answer here"
when the roll was called in the Senate
yesterday morning, but put in their
appearance shortly after. The minutes
were read and approved upon a motion
from Senator Kalue after ruling
from the chair to the effect that it was
not necessary TO make a separate mo-
tlon each time any speech was desired
interpreted, was spread upon the jour
nal.
Senator White moved I" the previous
question in order to prevent lengthy
discussion which Senator Carter en-
deav bred to precipitate concerning his
of ruling made by
Russell.
Senator Achi asked to be permitted

the independents stood solid. casting
eight votes against the presentation of
any bill. Carter jumped 10 mis- feet and
moved TO adjourn. stating that it was
