TWO BILLS SENT TO Governor

The House killed the new jury law
this morning voting to indefinitely
postpone it. This is the law passed by
the Senate and it was on second read
ing in the House. 1t cuts out all jury
fees as far as the Territory is concern

want jurors to pay for them. Yester-
day the House put back appropriations
for jury fees i'm the expenses bill, and
when the jury law came up this morn
ing it's indefinitely postponement was
moved
Andrade who is one of the authors Of
the bill objected. He said that the bin
had been prepared with care by a num-
Der of attorneys and moved that it be
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The vote was a close one, but the mo-
tion to indefinitely postpone carried. In
caucus held later efforts were made to
bring about a reconsideration and it is
understood that another effort to pass
the bill will be made.

Governor Takes Up 60
Results Of Test Case

Governor Carter and Auditor Fisher
began carly this morning on prepara-
lions of amendments to Senate Bill No.
1, which passed yesterday in the house
and was about to be sent to the COVER
nor to meet the situation created by
the decision of the Supreme court yes
terday in. the appropriation test case.
The bill was taken up for reconsidera-
ton today. Chief Justice Frear was
also in conference with the other Off
Gals during the morning.
The Supreme courts decision of yes
terday afternoon in the test case"
makes all the warrants drawn under
the six months bill since January l,
last Illegal Most of the warrants in
question are not registered having been
held by the auditor, but some of the
salary warrants were sent out and
have been registered and some have
been cashed. The banks took some
of these though they were I'm doubt,
while refusing some of the IS months
warrants which were never in ques7
ton. The court held that the governor
and treasurer might draw warrants
under the appropriation bills of 1901,
but these are declared to be wholly I'M
fit for the present conditions. Since
the bills were passed there have been
numerous departmental changes and
the scale Of appropriations is very diff
ferent in the six months bill from those
of 1901. There are also positions in the
late bill not existing at all in the for
mer, which would make it impracti-
cable, it is claimed to draw warrants
under the 1901 bills for the expenses
which have been incurred while run
ming under the six months bill.
The items of expense represented by
the illegal warrants will be added as
new appropriations, to the bill now
nearly through the Legislature. This
will make an extension of the session
while introduction. of
new bill at this time would force an
extension at least until next Tuesday.
Members of both the Senate and House
who came from the other islands are
intending to return to their homes by
the steamers Of next Tuesday.

CONVENTION

The Republican Territorial conven-
ton will be called to order next Mon
day morning at ten, in Progress hall.
The present plan is to adjourn until
7:3O in the evening and do the business
of the session then. One evening s
session, it is believed, will be enough.
Senator w. c. Achi is mentioned a
hong Oahu members for chairman of
the convention. A. G. NJ. Robertson
has also been spoken of, but as he is
a candidate for delegate TO Chicago,
he is not considered in the fight for the
craftsmanship. Senator Crabbe is in
favor of having a Hawaiian man in the
chair, and H. L. Holstein is spoken
of. One objection urged against MIN,

SIX
MONTHS BILL

The Senate took important action this
morning as the result of the decision
yesterday by the Supreme Court in de-
claring the warrants issued under the
six months appropriation measure il
legal. Just before the close of the ses-
sion this morning Senator McCandless
chairman of the Finance Committee,
moved a reconsideration of House Bill
No. 1.
The Supreme Court had, said Senator
.McCandless, knocked out the six
months appropriation bill and all war
rants up to June 80, 1904 are illegal.
In order to legalize them it was neces-
sary for the legislature to put in an
item in the House Bill No. l covering
those items. 1t was preferable to
amend the present bill as that could be
done in a day whereas to pass a new
bill would require six days. He offered
the following amendments to the bill,
which had been suggested by the Gov
ernOr Carter, strike out of the title the
word "apprOpriating" and insert pro
viding for" and strike out during the
period commencing with the first day
of July 1904 and ending with the
thirtieth day of June 1905" so that the
title will read as follows:
"An Act Providing for Salaries and
Pay of Employees of the Territory"

contained i'm the original Torreus act.
Senate Bill Nos. ~ and 49, relating to
the payment Of current accounts. pass
ed on second reading. House Bill No. 4,
amending the law regarding payments
of salaries to deputy assessors, came
back with the slight amendment made
by the Senate. The House immediate
ly concurred i'm the amendment, and the
bill now goes to the Governor
on motion of Keliinoi, Senate Bill No.
1, which passed final reading yesterday,
was taken up for reconsideration. in
order that it might be amended so that
it would include provision of appropria-
tiOns to cover expenses incurred since
January 1 last, i'm view Of the Supreme
Courts decision yesterday i'm the test
case.
Representative Keliinoi introduced a
petition from Maui, for payment Of the
expenses incurred under the County
government act during the brief reign
of county officers on the island. The
amount is over $4,000. The matter was
referred to the Finance Committee.

NEW SECTION.

Section 6-This act shall take effect
on the first day of July 1904, except
section thereof which shall take eff
feet on the date of its approval"
Owing to some slight error in the
typewriting the Senate referred the
matter to the Finance Committee The
committee will probably report on the
measure at the session his afternoon.
Senate Bill No. II providing for the
sale of bonds empowering the governor
to dispose of the bonds as he decides
best came up on third reading There
was little discussion over the measure
but when the vote was taken the ballot
stood to 6. Senator Achi gave notice
that he would move for a reconsidera-
ton of the vote at 2 p. m. A few
minutes later a reconsideration was
taken on motion of Senator Kalauo-
kalani. The report of the Finance
Committee recommending the passage
of the measure was read. A vote was
then taken and the measure passed by
a unanimous vote.
Senate Bill No. Is regarding a pub
lie depository for government funds
came up on second reading. The finance
committee reported in favor of tabling
the measure. This reportswas adopted
and the measure tabled but subsequent
ly through a mistake on the part of
Senator Kalauokalani a motion to re-
consider the matter was made. He
desired to bring bill No. II up for re-
consideration but No. 10 was mention
ed by him through mistake. on the
reconsideration of Bill No, Is the mea-
sure was again tabled.

there will be a very fair attendance.

cention to order. ~,
The contest for the national dele
gate ships is little changed. The re-
suit is largely dependant upon the de-
cision of the convention as to the
methods of nomination and election
vi ether the choices of the respective
districts shall be controlled or not.
Some of the delegates to the conven-
ton want to make changes in the Ter
ritorial Central Committe, and an eff
fort will probably be made to reOr-
ganized the committee. This may give
rise to some lively contests aside from
those for the delegateships, in which
there is great interest.

Our Little Dick.

Our little Dick has left US,
Our beloved bird SO true:
But his time had come to leave us.
So he chlrruped his last adieu.
IT'S so very sad to have him leave,
For he has cheered US ever so long:
And it breaks our hearts to know that
he
Has sung his last sweet song
Thro' rain or wind or sunshine,
He would always have a tune,
To cheer our weary souls at eve,
At morning or at noon.
Upon his little perch he'd sit.
That dear little feathered friend.
And sing, End sing, and seem to say,
That troubles would all amend.
He'd hop about from perch to perch.
Within his little sphere,
And try to say '.just take my way,
And never fret nor fear
And strange it is, we'd take his way.
That is, with cheerful heart
And life seemed always happier then,
And trouble would depart.
But -alas-he's flown away,
To sing in that other land,
Where he may eat the fruit of the
Mamma tree
And drink from the golden strand :,
Beloved little birdie friend,
With your cheering plume and song,
How lonely twill be without you,
The days will seem so long.
But God has said now come me,
To me thou tiny dove.
Thou hath dwelled long and well upon
the earth
Thou art needed in thy home above
So farewell, farewell our Dickie bird
Thy departure makes a sad, sad day.
But we hope thou wilt come in anoutl-
er form,
To cheer Us along life's way.
With sympathy from a friend. To
Mrs H. Il. Benson of Ogallah. who
lately lost her canary which was ;td-
mired by many for its sweet siug.]
