OF the body. The motion was carried
I 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-
7 lature. had been well arranged for the
occupancy Of the upper house. The ar
Y rangemcnt was somewhat different. ow-
ing to the fact that only half the num-
Der of members had TO be provided with
seats. The chair~an's position on the
dais Is the same n~d the secretary is
on the floor directly I'm front. on the
Waikiki and Eva s;ls of the chamber

kai side Of the square there are four
desks and two aisles.
/ TIE Waikiki side OF the chamber has

and the d, SKIS th,!e yesterday morning
were occupied by "erators j. ~. Brown.
J. d. Kaohi and I 'ka Nnkapl9hu. The
ID. Kalauofalani and $. T.. Kaiue were
vacant, the former lelsurely appearing
/ Just in time to vote TO adjourn. Oppo-
site these Senators sat ID. i. Il. lsen-
berg, l.. l.. McCandless and w. G. Achi,
! two seats vacant being those intended
! for Senators Cecil Brown and S. w.
| Wilcox Facing the chairman the four
seats, beginning at the Republican side.
/ We're occupied by Messrs. c. II. Dickey,
j. ID. Paris and c. l.. Crabbe, the end
one nearest the Home Rulers being
taken by Senator J.. Il. Woods.
! 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 "A com
mittee of three to investigate the
credentials Of the Senators, 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
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
submitted finding the men named as
constituting the Senate for the session.
, one paper filed with the committee
on credentials made II necessary that
there be held yesterday afternoon an
other caucus of the members Of the
Senate. This was In the form of n 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 j. ID. 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
fed without an appeal to the court or
highest resort
, The entire afternoon was spent In
discussing the matter. 1t was deem
ed by the Republican Senators as i'm
possible that they should undertake to
encourage "A dissension within the party
limits, there being declared no hope on
the part OF the Hilo Republicans thai
NoOuS ne ny
any recount. There will be another
meeting this morning, but 1t Is not be-
lieved that there will be any change
from this determination.
The expectation Is that the Alameda
will arrive early today and that Senator
Cecil Brown will return in her, and viii
be able to take his seat, to have to do
with the appointments to places under
the Senate. The arrival of $. w. VIII
cox from Kauai Is also one of the pos
slbilitles, as ship may be In this
morning from that island. This would
nj the quota of Republicans. There
was a feeling yesterday that II would
be unfair to proceed with the Organi2a-
ton Of the Senate when the early ar
rival Of these Senators Is probable
There are some members Of the Senate
too who believe that In the event Of
their not appearing a once, the best
course would be Ia take an adjourn-
ment until Monday, without completing
the organization, but this Is not deem
ed likely
