THE SENATE.

The SENATE.
gods that they would not bend the SER
vile knee to get to ride on the steamer
chartered to go a-junketing to Molo-
kai Perish the thought! They would
charter a steamer OF their own first,
and go away by themselves to play.
And all this time, in the House, an in
vitation to the Solons couched in due
and respectful language, to go upon
that very trip was being prepared, all
of which made the little tempest in
teapot above stairs somewhat funny.
The trouble was precipitated by a
committee of five be appointed to con-
fer with the House Health COMMITTEES
and see whether the Molokai junket
tangle could not be Strengthened out in
a way that would be satisfactory to
all parties.
McCandless was on his feet in mo-
ment In opposition TO the resolution.
The House. he said, had already turned
the Senate down in this very matter
He did not think 1t was dignified for
the Senators now to go down upon their
knees and ask to be allowed to go on
a boat where they evidently were not
wanted. The Senate could charter a
steamer of its own for s100, and could

II the House wants the Senate to go
1t Is up to the House to ask us" said
Paris. I'VE would not take the initia-
tive. They have tabled our resolution
on this very matter. Let them now
make the first advance"
THE HOUSE SENSITIVE.
Hayselden defended his resolution,
saying that the House was very SEN
sitive upon this matter. Besides. he
said. the House had already asked the
Senate to take part in the plan.
This ASSERTION was questioned by
several Senators, and Paris said that
the Senate would be put in rather q
bad position by the appointment OF
such n committee as was asked for un,
der the resolution. The Senate should
keep up its own dignity, and not &c
down on its knees to the House.
Achi sided with McCandless and
Paris, charging the House with con-
stant and persistent discourtesy to the
Senate. And he thought that II the
Senators wanted to go to Molokai they
should go independently of the House
Dickey tried to pour oil upon the wa
ters by urging the Senators to humor
the little fellows down stairs, and Hay
selden once more pleaded for peace
but his resolution was decisively beaten
on the vote.
At the opening OF the session Dickey
presented petition In favor OF a strict
Sunday law from John Magoon.
Dickey gave notice of his intention
to introduce bill to compel the plac-
ing of fire escapes on buildings.
hoCandless introduced the following
joint resolution, which passed withou
opposition:

whose reign Hawaii made great ad
vanoement in material prosperity, tn

Park, shall be known as Kalakaua av
enue."
MATTERS OF ROUTINE.
Dowsett introduced a bill to amen
the game law, and Achi introduced an
other. Read first time by title an
sent to the Printing Committee.
Governor Carter's veto of the lepros
divorce bill was taken up, but it wa
found that the Senate had no cor
of the measure, a House bill.
1t had passed, and consideration W;
postponed until today.
Senate Bill 54. the branch bank
cense bill, came next on third readin
Bishop as the introducer of the b
offered an amendment permitting the
cense to be fixed in the regular licen
bill. This makes the bill simply ol
to authorize the establishment
