Awaiting Arrival OF Two Absent
Members Before Final Action
on All Officials.

Promptly on the stroke of 10 o'clock
Senator Achi rose in the Senate Cham
Der. the old throne room of the Exec
utive building, and with a few words
moved that Senator Henry P. Baldwin
be chosen as the temporary president
of the body. The motion was carried
without dissent and the extraordinary
session of the second Senate of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii was on.
Eleven Senators were in their seats
when the call for order followed the in
stallation of the presiding official. The
room which two years past was the
home of the lower house of the Legis-
lature, had been well arranged for the
occupancy of the upper house. The ar
rangement was somewhat different, ow-
ing to the fact that only half the num-
Der of members had to be provided with
seats. The chairman's position on the
dais is the same and the secretary is
on the floor directly in front. On the
Waikiki and Eva sides of the chamber
are five desks each, while on the ma
kai side of the square there are four
desks and two aisles
been given over to the Home Rulers
and the desks there yesterday morning
were occupied by Senator'S J. T. Brown,
J. B. Kaohi and Luka Nakapaahu. The
seats near which will be those of
d. Kalauokalani and S. E. Kaiue We're
vacant, the former leisurely appearing
just in time to vote to adjourn. Oppo-
site these Senators sat D. p. r. Isen-
berg, L. l.. McCandless and w. c. Achi.
two seats vacant being those intended
for Senator'S Cecil Brown and S. w.

seats, beginning at the Republican side,
were occupied by Messrs. C. H. Dickey,
]. D. Paris and c. L. Crabbe, the end

When Senator Baldwin had called the
session to order he suggested the cleo
ton of a temporary secretary, which
was done, L. L. McCandless placing be-
fore the meeting the name of William
Savidge Without dissent he was chos-
en- John Bush was then chosen in
terpreter and the temporary staff was
complete.
On motion of Senator Paris the chair
man was empowered to appoint COM
inittee of three to investigate the
credentials of the Senator's, which mo-
| ton carried and in accordance Chair
man Baldwin named Senators Crabbe,
Paris and Brown. The fact that there
was no permanent organization made
it necessary that the body adjourn at
once, which was done the time fixed
being this morning at the same hour
The credentials committee at once
got to work and inspected the papers
constituting the Senate for the session.
One paper filed with the committee
on credentials made it necessary that
there be held yesterday afternoon an
other caucus of the members of the
Senate. This was in the form of a pro-
test from Stephen Desha, candidate
| from the First District, who alleged
that there was a belief that recount
of the votes would show that he had
been elected instead of ]. D. Paris,
who had only one majority over him.
This protest was made by Desha in ac-
cordance with his opinion that there
was such a feeling among his con-
stituents that they would not be salts
