yesterday afternoon at O'Clock. wran-
gled over lengthy committee reports
and a resolution or two for couple of
hours. and then, after Oily Bill
White had scrutinized the face of the
clock constantly from $3.50 to AIS, he
made motion to adjourn. This start
claiming the floor. in the midst of
which the smiling rotund countenance
of President Kaiue was undismayed
Senator Kalauokalani swung his arms
around like jibs on a windmill. while
he protested against laying over the
weighty matters of the Senate for so
many days. He urged an adjournment
until Saturday morning.
Il don't want any more trouble with
our calendar of days. said Kalauoka-
lani, "as we had in the past If We
adjourn over so many days we will get
mixed up in the number of days we
have been in session. and then there
viii be pilikia again
The Solomon-like wisdom of Kalauo-
kalani prevailed. and the Senators will
meet again tomorrow morning. today
being a holiday with them.
The main business of the day was
the consideration of a lengthy paper

Public Works Department. The APP
preparation of $500 900. recommended by
the Governor, for street work in Homo
lulu. was deemed too high by the COM
