HOUSE RELATIONS.
The House by letter informed the
Senate pf the appointment as men,
bers of conference committee on Sem
ate bill No. 3, eighteen months sal
aries: Representatives Harris, Kala-
ma, Knudsen, Wright and Kou.
Another House message announced
that body's concurrence in the Senate
amendments to House bill No. 10, the
last unpaid bills measure.
Senator Dickey said he would vote to
sustain the veto, not because the place
was school-as he did not consider
1t school any more than a private
home where a governess was employed
but because there was no such insti-
tuition as the Kona Orphanage and the
money therefore could not be expend-
ed even IL voted.
"Shall the item pass Notwithstanding
the veto of the Governor" was decided
in the negative by the votes of all
members present, viz: Achi. Baldwin.
Crabbe, Dickey. Isenberg. Kaiue, Ka-
lauokalani. Kaohi, McCandless, Naka-
paahu, Paris, Woods-12.
Senator Dickey presented a resolu-
ton authorizing the President after
adjournment to certify all bills for ex-
penses of the special session of the
Senate which he found correct, which
carried with an amendment by Senator
Achi allowing the Clerk pay for twen-
ty days after adjournment.
THE CoNEY BILL.
Under n motion of reconsideration,
the bill appropriating $4,000 to recon-
pense the Coney Estate for Tantalus
road damages, with the Senate amend
ment making it subject to decision
of the Supreme Court, came up for third
reading.
Senator McCandless was ruled against
on his point of order that there could
be no reconsideration of the vote, since
there was no such majority in the case
as was required for the final passage
OF a bill, reconsideration in parliament
ary practice being only movable by
one who had voted In the majority. The
Senator then proceeded to speak
against the bill.
Senator Baldwin called the speaker
to order, as there was no motion before
the house, and moved that the bill
pass
Senator McCandless cited the will of
the late John II. Coney, showing that
II devised one-half of the property in
equal parts to his wife and sister and
the half remainder to his children. 1t
also gave the executrix power, with the
approval of his wife and a Justice of
! the Supreme Court, to sell any or all
or the real estate. Mrs. Haalelea. ex-
ecutrix, with the signed approval of
Mrs. Coney and the late Chief Justice
Judd conveyed a 5O-foot right of way
through the Tantalus property OF the
estate to the Hawaiian Government in
1894, The speaker argued that the ac-
tion of the Senate in reconsidering the
bill, as In considering 1t on Friday,
was a slur on the Public Lands COM
mittee by which it was unanimously
recommended to be tabled, an insult to
| the memory OF the late Chief Justice
