Observation-Disclosures DAY.
THE SENATE.

The Senate yesterday passed the
County Act un third rea Ing, anG on
motion of Palmer Woods took up the
Quinn Sunday law on Reconsideration,
and passed thJt measure over the Gov
ernor IS veto. And so it was kind OF
a field day, although as Palmer Woods
was not present at the afternoon ses
sion, the Territorial Democracy may be
said not to be committed, officially,
to county government.
The Senators struggled in slowly at
the morning session, there being only
eight members in their seats when the
clerk called the roll and began the
reading of the minutes.
The proceedings at the morning ses-
sion. although it was the day set for
the passage of the County Act on third
reading, and all the Senators knew it,
began in much the usual way. Notifica-
tion was received from the Secretary of
the Territory that the Governor had
signed House Bills SO and S4.
ROUTINE MATTERS.
The House sent the information that
it had failed TO concur in the Senate
amendments to the bill changing the
title of the Registrar of the Territory
to Assistant Treasurer, and McCandless,
Achi and Gandall were appointed SEN
ate conferrees
House Bill 176, the leper hospital
bill, was read by title and will have
its seconu reading today.
The Judiciary Committee reported
favorably on Senate Bill 81 as amend
ed by the House, and the report was
adopted on call of the roll.
The conferrees on the bill to license
social clubs reported in favor of the
House amendment striking out the pro-
vision that members could buy liquor
for their friends, and the report was
adopted, thus passing the bill.
REPEATING DIsfILLING LAWS.
The Ways and Means Committee of
the Senate reported in favor of the re-
peal of the Territorial law forbidding
the manufacture of Intoxicating liq
uors. This is Senate Bill 10. The com
mittee says: cit is the opinion of your
committee that permitting the manu-
facture of liquors in the Territory
would be benefit to the Territory in
several ways. 1t is believed that good
liquor can be produced here at as lit.
tie cost as on the mainland, and sold
here would keep in the Territory money
which would otherwise go abroad. In
the production of liquor real estate is
improved and taxable values thereby
increased The Territory would also
be relieved of the burden of prosecut-
ing the manufacturers of illicit liq-
uors.
The report was laid on the table to
be considered with the bill, along with
a minority report from Bishou failing
to concur in its conclusions. Later the
bill passed second reading and will be
read for the third time today.
The Ways and Means Committee re-
ported adversely on Senate Bill "a, re-
lating to the repeal of the tax on for
eIgn corporations. The bill was laid
on the table.
Achi introduced resolution calling
on the Superintendent of Public Works
for a copy of the rules of the Homo
lulu water works. Adopted.
Achi introduced four bills amendatory
of the Revised Laws of Hawaii. They
were read first time by title and re-
ferred to the Printing Committee.
Paris introduced a bill regulating
trials by iurv and another establishing
a high school in Kona, Hawaii. Read
first time and referred to the printing
