Brown moved the ayes and noes be

suited in a tie. The chair then an
nounced the report was not approved.
The majority report was then taken
up, and it went the way of its prede-
cessor.
journ until 10 a. M, Monday The mo-
ton was lost.
Senator Kanuha then proposed, as
the Senate was in a deadlock over the
matter, the two reports be handed over
to the lower house and have them act
on 1t.
The Judiciary Committee, to whom waa
referred the items in the Appropriation
bill under the head of Judiciary Depart
ment, commencing with item $50. and end
ing with item 402, reported as follows:
| Item $50. expenses of Supreme and CIR
cult Courts to include pay of Grand Jur-
ors at the same rate as trial Jurors, $780,
900. We recommend It b stricken out, and
the following items be inserted in Its
place:
Expenses Supreme Court, 81, 500; sup
plies and incidentals for all courts to be
expended under the direction of the clerk
to the Judiciary Department, $500; ex-
penses Circuit Court, First Circuit, $15-
600; expenses Circuit Court, Second Cir
cult, $1,000; expenses Circuit Court, Third
Circuit, 81 600; expenses Circuit Court,
Fourth Circuit, $4,000; expenses Circuit
Court, Fifth Circuit, $4,000; making to-
tai sum of $4,000; being $1,000 more than
asked for. The reason Of the increase
is that the change In our jury system
ty,,,
has increased the expenses of all Circuit
Courts. The expenses of the last May
term of the Circuit Court of the First
Circuit were In the neighborhood of ST.
600, and as there are four terms year,
the estimate is based upon the cost Of
that term. Upon the suggestion Of the
Chief Justice, the expenses of each
Circuit Court for the other circuits have
each been set apart for the reason that
each Judge will then know what sum Of
money is set apart for the expenses of
his circuit. Heretofore the expenses
have all been taken out of the lump ap-
preparation. and each Circuit Judge was
notified by the clerk of the Judiciary De-
partment how much of such lump appro-
priation was to be used by him. The sums
recommended are expected to be sufh-
cient, and are based upon data and the
expenses of the different circuits, receiv-
ed since the Grand Jury system has
been in practice in the Territory.
Item 1872, purchase of law books, SUI
prone Court, we recommend pass as in
the IN
Item $685. purchase of law books for
other circuits. we recommend pass at
$500, tn same as heretofore allowed for
that purpose.
Item 80 we recommend pass as in the
bill.
Item as. compiling and publishing d.
gest FaTaiian Reports, we recommend
be stricken out for economy's sake, and
for the further reason that 1t Is not
a necessary nor needed work at the
present time.
Item ss7, we recommend be changed to
read Stationery. incidentals and travel
ing expenses of District Magistrates,
$1,000
BY doing this, items 1888, Ss1. Ss4, ss7.
399 and III can all be stricken out at
saving of some $500.
Items $50, 1893 and 1896 we recommend
pass as in the bill. The money here ap-
prcpriated is used by the Judges of the
several circuits In paying the travelling
and other expenses caused by holding Of
the terms Of court In different places of
such circuits, and away from the perma-
nent residence Of such court.
We therefore recommend that this re-
