THE LEGlsLATURE---ELEVENTH DAY.

Chairman of the Joint Committee had
ruled that but one act would be con-
sidered, and Achi answered that he un-
derstood that. But if the joint commit
tee refused to act, it was the duty OF
the Senate committeeman to return the
bills TO the Senate and report.
Dowsett failed to see the force OF
Achis objection to the resolution. Its
passage would clear all doubt as to the
powers of the committee. Dickey like
wise favored the resolution, but said
that it should be made a little more
comprehensive. Paris spoke in its favor
also. and then it was referred back to
its introducer for amendment.
Il would like some instructions from
the Senators as to how they want it
amended said McCandless, plaintive-
ly He got it. apparently, for he pres
emily came back with it, amended as
, above, and it passed without debate.
REVISED STATUTES LAW.
At the opening OF the morning seq
sion a communication from Secretary
Atkinson informed the Senate that the
Governor had signed the bill legalizing
the Revised Statutes prepared by the
Code Commission.
y COnllQuDlcaI ton from the ElouSt re-
ported the passage of the Achi resolu-
ton asking for an estimate of expense
of the proposed new counties, with an
amendment increasing the committee.
The Senate concurred in the amend
ments.
The Pulaa joint resolution to amend
the Organic Act to permit Hawaiians
ignorant of English to serve as jurors
went to the Judiciary Committee.
The citizens of Kohala sent in a pc
tition for doctor and for various road
and other improvements in the dis

for the appointment of physician and
the restoration of former rate of pay
of police. Reference the same as in for
mer petitions.
The Public Land Committee reported

In those words the Senate yesterday
morning strove to enlarge the powers
of the Joint County Act Committee,
limited by ruling of Chairman Hol-
stein based on the resolution originat-
ing the committee. The Introduction
and debate on the resolution was the
momentous thing in the proceedings
of the senate yesterday. President
Isenberg discovered. before the session
was called to order. that the County
Act Joint Committee had ruled itself
out virtually. so far as the consider
alton OF acts other than commission
bill was concerned, and had the enthus-
iastic backing of several of his col
leagues in his expressed wish to have
the powers of the committee enlarged
specifically, so as to make it cover all
county matters in its deliberations.
Very early in the session, therefore.
McCaudless introduced the first resolu-
tion. intended to accomplish this re-
suit. as follows:
That the Special Joint Committee to

ACHI SHOWS FIGHT.

AT once upon the introduction of the
resolution. Dowsett said that he had
intended TO ask instruction upon that
very matter. It had been ruled at the
committee meeting to consider only the
commission bill. and that ruling was
in accordance with the wording Of the
original resolution under which the
committee had been appointed. And
if no other bills were 10 be taken up,
that would be a waste of time.
Achi opposed the resolution, claiming
that the committee had power enough
under the resolution. II was the duty
of that committee. as OF every commit
tee. to- consider all bills referred TO it
by the Senate. and if it did not do this,
then the bills would come back to the
Senate. He thought that the joint COM
Inittee was taking d most extraordinary
course in refusing to consider any bills.
