HOUSE BRACING UP
Apparently Becomes Legislative
Body Again.
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS
Each Important Measure Runs the
Gauntlet of Scrutiny in One
House Only,

Building, Washington.
Washington, April 12.-If the house
should finally succeed In writing the
Cuban compromise schedule it would be
able to make record showing for the
present session in regainlng Its vigor as
legislative body 1t used to be said
in spite of the obvious intent of the con-
stitution concerning revenue legislation.
It has been particularly noted that all
the sugar schedules for many years have
been written in the senate. But this win
ter the house, perhaps because of con-
slant illusions throughout the country to
its decadence, has been standing up pretty
vigorously for it's share in the work of
legislation. The war revenue reduction
bill has become law in the shape that
the house passed 1t, aside from details OF
phraseology. Even the bucket shop tax
which the senate committee desired to
retain, separating such places from the
legitimate brokers, had to be abandoned.
But the greater victory of the house was
| in the general principles of the bill it
self. When it was first reported from
the committee Of the house nobody took
| 1t seriously; the press OF the country re-
garded it as a device for. side tracking
Cuban relief, and promptly declared that
| the senate would make the bill all over
new. The victory on the Cuban bill will
be still more notable
While for several years the senate has
seemed to give legislation It's final form,
the house merely rough-hewing the tim
Der, condition has now arrived, or, at
least, is notable In the present session,
where each important measure runs the
gauntlet of careful scrutiny in one house
alone. and sometimes it is the upper and
sometimes the lower.
There Is a real legislative battle now in
only one house. The shipping subsidy
battle will really be fought, if fought at
all, in the house of representatives. The
canal battle will be fought in the senate.
The Cuban battle, events will probably
prove, has been fought out in the house.
The statehood battle will come 1t is quite
likely, in getting consideration in the
senate. The house, If Speaker Hender-
son adheres to his present purpose of al
lowing the statehood bills to come up,
will pass them, but with the rather dis
tinct understanding that the senate will
not do so.
Irrigation was allowed to 60 Through
the senate without a dissenting voice,
with the understanding upon the part of
those who would have been it's opponents,
that the house would thresh over the
subject, as it has done. 1t has, there
fore, come to pass that the passage of a
bill by one house or the other means lit
tie unless it is known that the other
| house is likely to do the same thing.

MADAME BISHOP Will
SING ON MARCH 10.

The announcement by w. y. Adams
that Madame Geneva tombstone Bish.
op is to sing i'm the Opera House on
the night OF Monday, March ~, comes
as a rift in the clouds that overhang
honolulu today. There has been dis.
appointment on all hands ever since
the accident to Madame Bishop be.
cause il was thought she would be
unable to sing. so that the announce.
ment today is a most welcome one.
Everyone who has ever followed the
doings in the musical world in Amer
lea and Europe knows just what Mad
anne Bishop can do. The announce.
ment has been made and the people OF
Honolulu will do the rest. II anxious
inquiries as to tho possibility of a con
cert by Madame Bishop are to be tax
en- as a criterion by which to Judge
the Opera House will be packed on the
night of March 10.
