an adjournment, to give the surprise
chance to do it's work.
Beckley showed during the first pre-
liminary proceedings his knowledge of
parliamentary law and his fitness for
the office of speaker. He was vice
speaker of the last house and was his
party's leader on the floor. He comes
from the third district, of Maui and
Molokai and is recognized as one of
the best qualified men in the House. In
his knowledge of English and parlia
mentary proceedings Beekley is ma
turally leader and his Tirst remarks
from the Speakers desk were fer gem
eral union without regard to party, for
the sake of accomplishing the work
ahead.
This afternoon there are conferences
which may lead to some unity of action
tomorrow. The House adjourned on
motion of w. w. Harris, Immediately
after the startling announcement that
Beckley had been chosen speaker In
the meantime efforts may be made to
come to some sort of an agreement.
In both houses the two languages,
English and Hawaiian, will be used.
There are so many Hawaiians in the
House and Senate who do not very
readily understand the English Ian
guage that it was felt necessary to have
be interpreted as they were at the last
legislature.

tomorrow morning, the former rules to.
govern in the meantime. Kumalae said
this was Beckley's intention, Chilling
worth withdrew his amendment and
Beckley's motion prevailed. Keiirnoi
renewed his motion and Beckley sec
onded it. 1t was unanimously carried.
Speaker Lewis announced a commu-
nication from the Senate, but Beckley
objected to it at this time and nomin-
ated Kumalae for Speaker Kupihea
nominated Beckley and refused to
withdraw the nomination when Beck
ley requested him to do so.
Secretary Coney was instructed to
collect ballots and Harris and Keliinoi
were appointed tellers.

Kumalae moved that a committee be
appointed to escort the Speaker to the
chair. Frank Andrade and Purdy were
appointed.
In taking the chair Beckley thanked
the members for their expression of
confidence and expressed a hope that
he would continue to hold their conf
dence to the end of the session. "I
hope we shall all work together without
party feeling" he said "to accomplish
the work that is before u.s."
Harris moved to adjourn and An
drade seconded the motion. Before put.
ting it, the Speaker stated that no
time had been given, and Harris
amended his motion to make the ad-
journment to 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning. The Home Rulers and some
of the Republicans appeared to be a
bit doubtful about how to vote, and
there was some raising and drawing
down of hands as members watched
one another. The motion carried, how
ever, and the first days session was
over.

THE HOUSE

AS the vice-speaker of the House
Beckley took the lead in calling the
House to order He moved that Repre-
sentative James D. Lewis be made
temporary chairman and the motion
was Immediately carried. Lewis took
the chair and on motions by Beckley
w. H. Coney was made temporary sec
retary w. j. COelho temporary inter-
prefer, and it was decided that a com
mittee on credentials be appointed.
The chair named Beckley, Aylett "and
Knudsen. A motion for a recess to al
low the committee to report was car
ried.
FERNANDEZ SEATED.
Lewis produced a petition which he
proposed to read from the chair, but
the members interrupted with remarks
that the House was in recess. The
committee retired to prepare its report.
The petition in the hands of Speaker
Lewis was a protest by G. w. Patty
against the seating of Representative
Fernandez. Patty claims the election
having lost on the official count. The
matter was considered by the central
committee, but it is understood that
the protest was overruled.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials declared for Fernandez. Chill
Ingworth stated that he understood
there was a protest and objected to
Beckleys motion to adopt the report.
There was no other objection, however,
and the report was adopted.
DUMPED THE UITIIANDERS.
On motion of Beckley the credentials
committee was directed to ask MEM
Der of the Supreme bench to come and
swear in the representatives. Kumalae
thought honors ought to be distributed,
and suggested that new committee be
named, at which Beckley responded
that he was willing if Kumalae be
chairman. There was no second of
Kumalae's amendment and the House
took another recess until Chief Justice
Frear came and administered the oath.
Keliinoi moved to proceed with per-
manent organization and Beckley pro-
posed adopting the rules of the last
House, in order that the House might
have rules of procedure. Chillingworth
moved as an amendment that the chair

lani seconded this motion. Some oppo-
SitiOn was manifested to this motion.
1t was suggested that the Senate pro-
ceed to appoint a committee on rules.
In fact Senator Achi thought such ac-
ton necessary as it was desired to
waste no time. Senator Isenberg Of
fered to withdraw his motion but Sem
ator Kalauokalani refused to permit its
withdrawal. The president then order
ed a vote with the result that the mo-
tion prevailed whereupon every body
laughed and declared that the Home

Senator Achi was appointed a COM
mittee to escort the. President to the
chair. President Crabbe made a short
address in which he thanked the Sen
ate for the honor conferred on him and
expressed the hope of receiving cordial
cooperation from the Senate in ORDER
that the session should do effective
work.
A motion by Senator Achi that the
rules of the senate of 1901 should govern
the present Senate until committee
could be appointed to draft new rules
for the Senate was passed.
TO CURTAIL INTERPRETING.
Senator Dickey said that inasmuch
as tt was desired to conduct the session
of the Senate as expeditiopsly as pos
sible it would be well not e take time
in Interpreting the various motions unS
less the HawAlians did not understand
them. The motions could be offered
in the English language and then let
the proceedings continue in English.
The interpreter would know if evefS-
body understood the various motioTs.,
In case any thing was not understood
by the native members, they should
indicate the fact so that it could be inS1
terpreted for them. This suggestion
did not cause any marked enthusiasm
and 1t was not made as a regular mo-
ton. The following motion fixing the.
salaries of the senate officers was. Of
fered by Senator McCandless seconded
by Senator Kalauokalani and passed;
Secretary $40 per diem, assistants Sc
cretary $6 per diem, interpreter IS per
diem, sergeant at arms IS per diem,
chaplain $3.50 in full for the session;
messenger SO per diem and janitor 81
per diem.
Senator Achi presented resolution
directing the secretary to notify the
House that the Senate had effected or
ganization and was ready for business,
also to notify the House of the person
mel of the Senates permanent officers.
This motion caused considerable dis
cussion and after several amendments
had been offered it was decided to have
the president appoint a committee to
wait on Governor Dole and state that
the Senate was ready to receive any
communication that the Governor
might have to present Senators II.

kalani We're appointed on this commit
tee. On motion of Palmer Woods a
