EFFOhTS TO BRING ABOUT A
RECONCILIATION.
Home Rulers Postpone Matter to Next
Monday in Order to Settle Difficulty
Between Belligerents.

today are that there will be some nose /
rubbing pretty soon The opposing fac /
tions have edged together, and, al /
though they are not yet playing in I
each others back yards, the indications 4
are that such will come about. Dr.
Russell is one side to himself. Kanuha :
this morning Topped over to the side /
of Bill White. leaving the man from /.
Olaa high and dry and "all by his lone
ly." DR.. Russell discovered last night
that this would be the case, and the /.
"nitsky" of yesterday changed into a
sorrowful IN thnksky.'
DR.. Russell did think. This morning
every Republican and every Home Ru-
Ter was in his place. Dr. Russell was in
the presidents chair This was a sur
prise for the Presidents last remarks
yesterday were to the effect that he
would never return to the chair.
AS will be seen in the report below
Senator William White moved to post I
pone the matter of the resignation until
tomorrow. White wants to get Russell
out to one side and have a heart to
heart talk with him. He didn't get a
chance last night. White wants to tell
Russell that he (RusseD must draw in
his horns and can't sit on him anymore.
He wants to tell Russell, too, that that
Dispensary bill is a very long one; that
the committee wishes to consider it by
sections ana that the committee will
take it's own blankety blank time about
reporting it back.
There is liable to be more trouble un-
less Russell gives in absolutely. The
Car believes that White is opposed to
his favOrite measure. That is the well
spring of the pilikia between the men.
On account of this suspicion DR.. Rus
sci wishes to fire White from the Office
of chairman of the committee on intoX-
icants and to take the job himself That
is what Whites faction says and it is
M urnf m 1lA
chair his influence on the committee
and on the floor would be killed.
Kalauokalani says that If Russell re-
mains firm in his purpose to leave the
chair he will be let out The Home
Rulers will not chain him down Ka-
lauokalani says the Dispensary bill will
be passed, but the committee must be
given all the time it requires to con-
slider 1t and to make such amendments
as may appear to be necessary. Just
as soon as a general conference can be
arranged an effort will be made to
smooth things over between White and
Russell. If this can be done, Russell
will keep his seat.
1t is understood that Russell has had
an intimation that the committee
stands two to one against his Dis
pensary bill, and that that has angered
him.
The Senators received their money
| this morning and tonight will eat poi
| and fresh fish in place of taro tops
and dried squid. When the session
opened this morning the following noti-
| fication from Secretary Cooper was
read:
l have the honor to inform you that
the Governor signed, this day Act l,
entitled IAN Act to Appropriate money
| for the purpose of defraying the eX-
| penses of the session of the Legisla-
| ture of the Territory of Hawaii of the
tIa h 10 ROO 11TNr'
The following self explanatory re-
port was read by Senator Paris:
Your committee on public lands, pub
| lie works and internal improvements to
whom was referred Senate Bill Al beg
| leave to report.
We find said bill amends section 1442
| of the Penal Laws so as to allow the
| use of explosives in fishing on reefs
| and waters of the territory; but fails to
| repeal or amend sections 1463 and 1464
which would conflict with the section as
| amended in the bill.
| Your committee consider that the
| present law in regard to the use of eX-
| plosives in fishing should not be chang
| ed.
| Whenever explosives are used in fish
ing large numbers of young fish are un-
necessarily killed of which no use can
be made.
| These feeding grounds destroyed and
eral use of explosives were allowd,
many choice species of Hawaiian fish
would disappear and our fisheries on
which so many Hawaiians depend for
living would be of little value.
For the protection of our fisheries we
would recommend the bill be laid on
the table.
