HOUSE RELATIONS.
The House by letter informed the
Senate Df the appointment, as men,
bers of a conference committee on SEN
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. TO- the
last unpaid bills measure.
Senator Dickey said he would vote to
sustain the veto, not because the place
was a school-as he did not consider
it a 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 if 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,

adjournment to certify all bills for eX-
penses of the special session of the
Senate which he found correct which

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 3
airy practice being only movable by
one who had voted in the majority. The
Senator then proceeded 10 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 H. Coney. showing that
it 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
Of the real estate. Mrs. Haalelea. eX-
ecutriX, with the signed approval of
Mrs. Coney and the late Chief Justice
