The Hawaiian gazette., 1905-04-11

read for the third time on Monday.
On motion of Dowsett, Senate Bill
AZ, on the same subject, was taken up.
This is the bill taxing bicycles, and it
passed second reading. 1t will be read
for the third time on Tuesday.
The Senate then adjourned.
THE HOUSE.
The House of Representatives was
treated to curious exhibition yester-
day afternoon. 1t was the first sign
expressed publicly of desire to pro-
long the session beyond the sixty day
limit, though nobody would suggest
that the fact that extra sessions net
each legislator an extra 5000 had any
| thing whatever to do with the matter.
THE GOVERNOR WISH.
1t was during the morning session
that Holstein introduced this resolu-
ton:
"That from and after Monday, the
10th day of April, 1905, no new bills
! shall be introduced other than appro-
priation bills and that commencing on
! Monday the 10th aforesaid, sessions of
the House shall commence at 10 a. m,
holding evening sessions commencing
| uI u. uHtli ~ u.
There was a pronounced tinge of the
robin 's-egg blue about the resolution,
but Holstein in his speech supporting
his resolution did not announce that
he had introduced it at the request of
the Governor. He urged its adoption
on the simple ground OF expediting
business and getting through inside the
sixty days.
KANIHo, OF COURSE.
There came an Grafton from Kaniho
at once, as he recognized an attempt
to muzzle both himself and Kalino,
who, he declared, with absolute cor
rectness, had done more talking than
anyone else during the session. Incl
dentally he took a nlng at the Adj
vertiser for having said exactly what
he had declared himself.
A motion to postpone action on the
resolution until Monday was followed
by another from Fernandez, who wish
ed the matter to be indefinitely post
poned.
Speaker Knudsen, strictly within
the rules, put the motion to postpone
action until Monday, which was car
ried, despite Fernandez's indignant
protest to the the effect that he wanted
to make speech.
FERNANDEZ WAS MAD.
Fernandez then moved to adjourn
and his motion again failed so he sal
down and nursed his wrath to keep il
warm He took casual fal, out OF
= Sheldon, who objected to delays, by
: declaring that the delays We're made
by such members as the honorable
member from Kauai and not by him
self.
SUCH A REVENGE.
: His revenge, such a. u was, came
in the afternoon, when H"uye Bill 112
: the Taxation Bill, came up for third
reading. The bill is a long one, &
very long one, and it took considerably
, over an hour for its reading in Eng
, lish.
Then arose Fernandez, who insisted
that it should be read through in thu
Hawaiian language. He made heat
ed speech which was translated il
part, and threatened to resign if tn
Hawaiian version was not read.
Kaniho seconded the motion, deelar
ing that all the delays to business
were caused by the English speaking
members of the House. So the read
ing of the bill in Hawahan went ahea'
and most of the House went into tn
a corridor or on the lanais where the,
could smoke in peace.

|. sion.
