THE EIGHT HOUR
SPECTRE RISES
IT ALMOST CREATES 4 PANIC IN
THE TE-BELlEVE THE
SPECTRE Is LAID.

A spectre arose in the senate this
morning and almost created panic
for a time, until a few reassurng legal
opinions were given.
The spectre was the eight hour law
passed at the regular session. Senator
Achi announced tnatit WuuIu be neces-
sary to increase the appropriation for
salaries of the police fifty per cent be-
cause of the eight hour law. because
now the police stood twelve hour
watches, but dnder the eight hour law
could not be required to, so that 1t
would require fifty per cent more men.
Senator lsenberg Immediately de-
clared that he didn't believe the eight
hour law applied. Senator Achi said
that the governor thought it did and
had called his attention to it whereupon
ne had re-read the law and was con-
WINGED that it did. Most of the sem
ators thought it could not possibly APP
ply to the police department, because
1t was never intended to apply to the
police, until Senator Isenberg got a
copy of the law and read the section in
question which is section two of an
act entitled an Act to regulate the en-
ployment Of labor on the public works
of this territory, and is as follows
Eight hours of actual service shall
constitute days labor for all me-
chanics clerks, laborers and other en-
ployees employed upon any public work
or in any public office of this Territory.
or any political subdivision thereof,
whether the work is done by contract
or otherwise. Provided, however, chat
the full eight hours shall not apply to
Saturdays or any holiday"
Then most of the Senators thought it
did apply, until Senator Dickey analy-
zing the language of the section reach
ed the conclusion that as the police
were not employed on public works and
did not work in an Office but out under
the blue canopy of heavens, they were
not included. President Crabbe VEN
tured the opinion that Dickey was the
only lawyer that would construe the
language in that way.
Senator McCandless thought that the
duties of the police were of such a
character that they would come under
the exception in favor of emergencies
senator Isenberg who had been out
making flank movement on the spec
tire brought back word that the police
themselves had constructed the law as
to include them, and had given the
high sheriff intmation of their con-
struction of the statute. He also said
that the Attorney General held that the
law did not include the police depart
ment.
Dickey triumphantly called the atten-
ton of President Crabbe to this fact
as proving that there was at least one
other lawyer who agreed with him in
his construction of the law
Finally all the items of the police
department in the bill under considera-
To-.
mittee to get the opinion of the Attor-
ney General and the Justices of the Su-
/ preme Court-On the construction of this
statute.

MILE, DOLORES.

Honolulu people have ever been
known for their excellent taste in music
and when it is known that the critics
wherever Mile. Dolores has Travelled
have invariably praised her singing,
they will certainly be anxious to attend
the concert to be given in the Opera
House on Tuesday night next Here is
what one of the critics says of Mile
Dolores "To go away from a concert
and have nothing to criticize, is a de-
cidedly awkward position for a musical
critic. Nobody can be expected to see
with equanimity his occupation gone.
Yet what is one going to do when one
feels as if it did not matter much what
songs were sung, or in what order they
appeared. For ev"'y sons, as long as
it lasted, was liked so well that all
the others were forgotten at the time.
A fascinating personality and match
less art were always present, ana it
seemed a matter of secondary import
ance in what particular mood this re-
n arkable combination manifested it
self"
This is just one of the hundreds of
favorable comments on the singing of
Mile. Dolores. In all the many cr!ti-

THE SENATE KEEPS
At ITS WORK
THE UPPER HOUSE OF THE LE-
GIsLATURE GOES RIGHT AHEAD
WITH IT'S BUSINESS.

secretary Carter sent a communica-
ton to the Senate this morning stating
that there was a balance of only $1440
in his appropriation for printing and
advertising which was not enough for
the printing of the laws and appro-
priations which were required to be
done within thirty days. He asked for
an additional $1,000 to be placed in the
emergency bill. The communicative
win be taken up with the bill.
a resolution offered by Dickey was
adopted requiring the clerk to give
to the president all petitions, resolu-
tons and reports on items in the APP
preparation bills to be considered with
the bills.
On consideration of the six months
appropriation bill Senator Achi pre-
sented an amendment providing that
the three additional clerks asked for
by the circuit judges should be APP
pointed by the chief justice, so that
they could be employed in any court
where their services were needed, in
stead OF being attached to particular
judge taking a vacation whenever
their particular Judge went to the
coast or to Washington.
When the Attorney Generals DEPART
ment was reached in the six months
salaries bill, Senator Dickey announced
that he intended to move a reduction of
salaries of heads of departments, all
around, and would begin by moving to
reduce the salary of the Attorney Cen
eral from $2250 for the six months to
1880 for the six months or at the rate
OF $3,6O0 year He said that with the
passage OF the county bill a great deal
OF work and responsibility had been
taken from the heads of territorial de-
partments, at least in most cases. and
added expenses for the same work had
been put on through the county gov
eminent. 1t was therefore time for
remodelling of the salary list, and re-
trenchment was possible
Senator Isenberg promptly opposed
the reduction. He said that the heads
OF departments held responsible posi-
tons and should be paid salaries in
proportion to those paid by commercial
enterprises for similar class of service.
He expressed the belief that unless
public officials were paid pretty good
salaries there was added temptation to
accept brides, and especially was this
the case in the police department.
Senator Dickeys was the only vote
recorded In favor of the change.

HEAD TANNED
BETWEEN BOATS
SAILOR ON NOEAU,
PROBABLY FATALLY INJURED
AT HONOKAA.

Nishimura, Japanese sailor on the
steamer Noeau, sustained injuries last
Thursday at Honokaa. that are likely
to prove fatal. He was one of the boat
men and had returned with several
others in an empty boat to the side Of
the vessel to get another load for the
Shore. The sea was quite rough and
in some manner, he lost his balance
and fell out of the boat between the
boat and the steamer. As he rose, the
swell swept the smaller boat against
the vessel, catching the Japanese's
skull.
The jaw and lower portion of the
mans head were fractured by the force
of the impact. The man was stunned.
Others in the boat dragged him out of
the water. Captain Peterson had the
injured man taken ashore at once,
where the sailor was transferred to the
Honokaa hospital. Blood was running
from the mouth, eyes and ears of the
injured man and he was unconscious.
The man was reported to be still alive
when the Noeau left for Honolulu yes
terday. There seemed little chance
for his recovery however.

MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP
BILL AUTHORIZING MUNICIPAL
OWNERSHIP OF STREET RAIL
WAYS FAVORABLY REPORTED.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 1.-THE
House Committee on Municipal Corpor-
ations have agreeu on a bill author
izing every city in the State to own,
construct, purchase, mortgage and
lease street railways. 1t provides for
leasing not longer than twenty years
to any company inco. porated under the
general corporation act of Illinois, but
no city can do anything toward the
construction of a railway without the
sanction of a three-fifths vote of the
electors. Bonds can be issued, or, in
lieu of them, certificates of indebted
ness, but not unless authorized by a
majority vote of the people.
Fundamentally the bill is intended to
permit the city of Chicago to own the
present system of street railways.
When the bill was reported to the
House Gutenberg presented a minor
ity report signed by himself, McElvain,
Erickson and Patterson. On motion of
Lindley the minority report was tabled.
The committee bill was then read for
a first time and made special order
on Wednesday.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-There
are ready for shipment to the Philippine
Islands $2,O0O5OO pesos, which were
coined at the Philadelphia Mint in the
last twenty-five working days. The
coinage in this case is equal to the
minting of the same number of Anne
rican dollars, and it thus required the
handling on an average of 100, 900 pesos
daily for the twenty-five days. Dur
ing this time the Mint also added to
the Philippine coinage $1,000 pieces of
bronze. valued at $91,eOO and 5000, OJO
