law amendment. The committee finds
that the bill gives banks too large and
sweeping privileges, allows them to deaI
in realty, to act as brokers, trustees
receivers and do any kind of business
merchandise or otherwise. The inter
ests of the community are against the
bill and the committee finds that it is
dangerous to allow innovations and
that the present act is sound and suf-
ficient." The bill is said to be a copy
of the charter of the Union Trust Co
of San Francisco. The report is to be
considered with the bill.
JUMPS ON THE HOUSE.
Senator Cecil Brown introduced the
following resolution which stirred up a
lot of trouble:
| Whereas, the Senate of the Terri
tory of Hawaii has passed Some sirtv
Acts which have been duly transmitted
to the House of Representatives for
consideration; and whereas none. of
said Acts. with perhaps one, or two ex-
ceptions, have, so far as is known. re-
: ceived any consideration whatever.
nor been referred to committees of said
House; therefore. be it
/ Resolved, That it is the sense OF the
Senate of the Territory that the clerk
communicate with the House of Rep
resentatives asking that information
be furnished as to the disposition or in
tended disposition of the several Ac-s
or Bills already transmitted to it"
This is the S2nd day of the Senate
said Senator Brown, and sfxtv-four
bills have been sent to the House,
which shows that the Senate has done
business. Some of these bills were sent
down on the 5th or 9th of March and as
far as we know they may have been
put in the waste-basket or stove. It's
about time the Senate and the people
of the Territory and of the United
States knew what this legislature in
tends to do. We have heard that there
is a Republican majority in the House,
if it is and they are acting like that.
l say they amt Republicans, and the
quicker they are read out of the Re-
publican party. the better it will be- |
It's disgrace to have the Republican
party acting in this way, ignoring all |
these acts. fighting with a lot of petty |
resolutions and inquiring into acts of |
Territorial officials with which the
Legislature has nothing to do.
I'VE expect to get through the Coun-
ty bill tonight. and next will come the
Municipal bill, and 1 want to know
when we are going to do something; |
we don't want to be the laughing stock |
of the rest of the party, and we should
know whether the House is going to do
any business; if not, 1 think we had |
better shut up shop and go home"
Senator Kalauokalani thought that
the Senate had nothing to do with the
House; that the Organic Act provided
that each House should work indepen-
IDENTIFY and the House might feel hurt
over the resolution.
Senator ]. T. Brown favored the reso-
luton, and said the House passed their
own bills and sidetracked identical
measures from the Senate. 50 that each
bill would have to be passed six times
and signed twice by the Governor.
Senator Dickey said the Senate had
40 right to dictate to the House, and
when each house passed its bills, it had
lone it's duty.
Senator McCandless said the Senate
av+;+Ja,J t-oo,r- ,,-1,atl,a- tl,o House
lad tabled its bills or simply pigeon
loled them. The Senate was entitled
o know what had become of the bills.
Senator Isenberg said that if the
House gent such resolution to the (,
senate he would be apt to say: Go
plumb to -, ard you can think the

Senator Kaohi said the resolution was
whip to the House. and meant clash
the two houses. Senator Bald
in said the discussion showed there :
Iad been cause for feeling. I
Senator Kaohi moved that the reso-
ution be indefinitely postponed, which I

luton to empower the Treasurer to

n ties. which passed. The work is to
