IN BUNGALOW

The Senate was called to order at
1885 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
President announced the consideration
OF the rules OF the Senate in order.
When the rule regarding the duties
Of the Interpreter and translator was
read, Mr.. Cecil Brown stated that he
wished to register his objection in con-
formity to the objections which he had
registered against the adoption Of the
rule providing for the election Of an
interpreter. However, the section pass
ed as read.
II was not until the Senate came to
the consideration of the rule dealing
with secret sessions that there was any
more objection. At this point, Mr..
Ce u Brown made a motion to strike
out the section as II was unnecessary.
He did not believe that the Senate
needed to go into any secret sessions
except when considering such matters
as names OF appointees submitted by
the Governor and this was provided for
in another rule. Senator White object
ed to this and stated that there might
come time when the Senate wished to
consider other matters In secret ses-
sion. He moved that the rule pass as
read and this was carried.
When 1t came to the rule regulating
the asking of questions of the members
Of the Executive by members OF the
Senate, Mr.. Achi asked what the Sen
ate intended to do in case the persons
Of whom answers were required re-
fused to answer the questions within
the time set. Mr.. Cecil Brown explain
ed that, In the first place, he did no
believe any one Of the Territorial OFF
GERS would refuse to answer any Of tn
questions put to them. In case they
did, there was ample remedy. Such
officers could be ordered to appear be-
fore the Senate to show cause why
they should not be found guilty OF con
tempt and, II found guilty, could be ar
rested and sent to Jail or given such
other punishment as the Senate should
decide. There was no use Of lookini
for trouble and anticipating anything
OF the kind on the part Of the Territor
ial officials.
In Section 105, the language Of thu
rules was changed so that the wor,
clerk" was used instead Of "presi
dent" This provides for the hiring o
engrossing and other clerks by the sec
rotary.
The rules were then passed as
whole. as amended.
Mr.. White made a verbal report 70
the committee appointed to wait upo
the Governor and ascertain from hir
II there were any other place whic
the Senate could secure as a meetin
hall. He stated that the Governo
had consented to the use Of the uppe
floor of the bungalow but that he woul
have to first confer with Col. Jones be
fore giving final answer. The Cover
nor would decide regarding the tn
matter as soon as he should see Co
Jones.
On motion of Mr.. Cecil Brown, tn
report of the committee was accepte
and 1t was instructed, upon the receiT
OF the communication, to make al
rangements for the moving of the Sen
ate into its new quarters.
On motion of Mr.. White, the secrs
tary was ordered to have the rules {

ton Of the Senate that the Hall ha
, been chosen as the boat to go to Mole
