Senator Hayselden reported from the
Land committee relative to the claim
of w. A. Keola, forwarded in petition
No. 9. This was for damage incurred
in taking a small portion of his land
for the construction of a road. Com
mittee reported that the Territory had
settled with him for the sum of fifty
dollars and forty cents and recon-
mended that the petition be tabled.
Report was adopted.
COUNTY SURVEYORS.
Senator Brown gave notice of his
intention to introduce a bill relating
to surveyors in each of the counties.
The rules were suspended and the bill
passed first reading by title.
Senator Makekau gave notice of his
intention to introduce a bill for the
encouragement of the construction of
railways on the island of Hawaii.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Second reading of the bill to estab-
lish an Agricultural college in the Ter
ritory, being Senate Bill No. 80, was
the. occasion for good deal of dis
cussion and it afforded the Senators
an opportunity for hearty laugh. The
bill had been amended in committee
and was practically new one. The
report of the committee contemplated
an education equal to that obtained
in similar institutions in the United
States. Senator Smith moved to amend
so it would read instruction. This
brought about a rather lively discus
sion as to the legality of amending a
report. There was a desire to make
the change suggested and a half dozen
ways were suggested but none fit the
case, exactly. President Bishop hap
pened to drop a remark to the effect
that the report had not been dated.
Senator Hewitt, chairman of the
committee, proved himself
a Napoleon in quickly getting out of
the hole by moving the reccmmittal
of the report to the Educational com
mittee. The bill was also recommitted.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the result
and the Senator was congratulated on
his ability to find way out of a.
difficulty.
ON THIRD READING.
Senate Bill No. SO was called for
third reading. This relates to the pay
ment of witnesses in criminal cases
for days actually in attendance at
court. The bill passed.
House Bill No. 7, providing for the
establishment of a hospital in Kohala
passed third reading
House Bill No. 10, relating to the
payment of per diem to jurors at
coroners' inquests passed third reading.
House Bill No. 80, relating to the
disposition of Hawaiian statutes, pro-
viding that twenty-five copies would
be for disposition among public libra
ries, passed third reading.
House Bill No. Is, relating to at
tachments was referred to the Judi
ciary committee.
A bill that will promote discus
sion on the floor as well as in the COM
mittee is House Bill No. "a, relating
to the sprinkling of streets between
the car tracks. It appears that all
to the Territory have been
provided for in the franchise and
should the bill pass there will be a
question of its constitutionality.

ceedings in divorce was referred to the
