And in another place he has the fol-
lowing to say:
There are no cabs. In London, in
Paris, in Florence, in Rome, in the
Havana. and at Grand Cairo, the cab
driver does not merely drive, but he
is the visitors easiest and cheapest
guide. In London the Tower, Westmin-
ster Abbey, and Madame Tussaud's are
found by the stranger without difficulty
and almost without thought because the
cab driver knows the whereabouts and
the way.
But in New York there is no such
institution. In New York there are
street omnibuses as We have, and there
are very excellent public carriages. but
none of these give you the accommoda
tions ot the cab.

MESSAGES

At o'clock the senate reconvening.
Senator Baldwin announced that the
committee had waited upon the Gov
ernor who had informed them that he
would have some messages ready for
their consideration at the hour named.
The committee was discharged with
thanks. A recess until such time as
Secretary Hawes should appear. This
occurred with two minutes, four mes
sages IN all being delivered.
The first was a brief citation Of the
reason for calling the special session
on account of the misconduct of execu-
| tive officers whose misdemeanors would
be referred to in separate messages.
| The Governor expressed his confidence
that the Senate would bring to bear
upon the matter the high principles
that were necessary in the administra-
ton of public affairs. r. N. Boyd and
H. f. Cooper were present during the
preliminary reading of the message.
The second folio contained the charges
against H. c. Austin, setting forth the
date of his suspension and the placing
in office of H. c. Meyers in his position.
Next followed the correspondence be-
tween the executive and Austin al
ready published in the public press and
setting forth the attempts of the Au-
uty Sheriff Chillingworth, passing of
worthless checks in Hilo, borrowing ot
money from Chief Clerk Wright, neg
lect to properly audit and other proofs
of incapacity to hold the position The
details of request for salary and re-
fusal were set forth at length with an
account of Austins actions and those
of his attorneys towards the Cover
nor.
The citation ended with a reference
of the proposed removal of the Consti-
tutional action of the Senate as a nee
essary measure on. account of the un-
fitness for office and wrOngful' attitude
taken by the suspended official.
In message regarding the Auditors
department the Governor includes all
the correspondence, already published,
between Austin and the Governor,
which resulted in Austin's suspension.
The message concludes with the fol-
lowing:

forth in the foregoing copy of my let
ter to Mr.. Austin dated September 25th.

The procedure of the second day of
the special senatorial session COM
menced promptly at ten o'clock this
morning. Fourteen were present the
only vacancy being that made by the
absence of Senator Cecil Brown. Sem
ator' S. w. Wilcox having arrived from
Kauai in the Ke Al Bou this morning.
The seats for the. accommodation of
the public were filled partly by rela-
tives and friends of the senators. Tenn
porary chairman Baldwin's desk was
ornate with a bouquet of roses and
carnations. White Chrysanthemums
graced the clerks desk and a choice
bunch of roses bloomed before Senator
Crabbe.
Chairman H. p. Baldwin having
taken his chair, called upon the Rev.
Kalino to offer prayer which he did
briefly in Hawaiian. ..a ..=-.
The minutes We're then disposed OF
and the committee on Credentials call
ed upon for their report. Senator
Crabbe as chairman presented a ma
jority report and the possibility of dis
sension raised immediate interest on
account of the protest entered by
Desha as stated exclusively in the Star
yesterday. The report accepted the
credentials of all the senators with the
exception of Cecil Brown whose Gre
dentials were not obtainable. The
protest of Mr.. Desha was mentioned
and referred to the senate. Senator
Paris had not signed the report being
an interested party. He explained
that he had not signed owing to the
peculiar position in which he was
placed but that there would be no mi
nority report
Chairman Baldwin explained that he
had put Paris name on the committee
to make it representative of different
islands, not knowing that there was a
nrotest. The protest, striking at the
Validity of all senators from Hawaii
should never have been presented to
the committee but directly to the
senate.
Senator Achi, seconded by lsenberg
moved to put aside the names of the
Hawaiian members and accept the re-
port of the committee as far as twelve
members only were concerned. Senator
Kaiue wished to amend by seating al
the members according to the commit
tees report. After some discussion the
question was put Senator Achi's mo-
tion carrying by vote of eight tC
two.
Senator Dickey moved that com.
mittee of two be appointed to wait up,
on the chief justice and ask that thu
senators be duly sworn. Achi amend
ed thas to three and the chair appoint
ed Dickey, Achi and Kaiue. A recess
of ten minutes was proposed by Nc
Candless and accepted by the Senate.
Senator Dickey and Achi repaired II

distracted the attention of tallyer Kai-
