'oFFICERs INSTALLED.

On motion of w. G. Achi the employ
ed officers took the oath of office from
the president. Their pay was fixed, by
the same members motion, thus:
Secretary. SIS a day; sergeant-at-
arms, $3.50 day; chaplain, $50 for the
session; interpreter, So a day; mes
senger, So a day.
C. H. Dichey wanted to do without an
interpreter, saying there was only one
member who did not understand Eng
lish and the sergeant-at-arms could in
terpret for that one when necessary. d
p. r. Isenberg called him to order. as
the interpreter had already been elect
ed, and the mover then said he would
take another way" by moving to
strike out the interpreters salary.
L. L. McCandless considered the SER
vices of an interpreter IAN absolute
necessity" and thought they We're do
ing very well in reducing the pay from
the former rate of $40 a day to IS.
Palmer P. Woods settled the matter
by raising the point of order that
Dickey's motion was not seconded.
NOTICES GIVEN.
On motion of Isenberg the secretary
was instructed to notify the House of
Representatives that the Senate was
organized and ready for business.
Pursuant to a motion by Dickey, the
president appointed c. H. Dickey, D.
P. r. Isenberg and w. c. Achi com
mittee to wait on the Governor and in
form him the Senate was organized and
ready to receive any communication
from him.
A recess of ten minutes was taken, at
the end of which the committees re-
port of having done as directed was
followed by the entrance of A. l. G. At
kinson, Secretary of the Territory, who
advanced and presented President
Crabbe with an official copy of Gov
ernor Carriers message.

while printed copies of it were mean

TO BUSINESS.
Isenberg moved that the president
appoint a financial committee to consist
of five members. 1t seemed to him that,
with the Importance of the Governors
such thing should be done.
He asked that the president should not
appoint himself ON the committee, as he
did not feel competent to handle the
financial affairs of this Territory. 1t
was the most important committee to
be appointed at this session. He
thought they could do away with many
of the usual committees. 1t would be
hard for business men to get together
on committees.
FINANCE COMMITTEE.
President .Crabbe, when the motion
had passed, appointed L. L. McCandless,
J. d. Paris, C. H. -Dickey. Palmer p.
Woods and d. Kalauokalani as the
