Morning Session.
There was feeling bordering on
apathy prevailing in the Senate yes
terday. It had been communicated
to the members by underground tele-
graph that the Governor had not sign
ed the bills providing for the pay
ment of the expenses of the Legisla-
ture and world not do so until the
members had taken steps agreeable to
hi ha oft Of ho
luton relative to the thirty thousand
dollar fund provided by Congress for
this session.
The minority report submitted by
Senator Woods has stuck in the eraws
of majority OF the members in both
houses and they are inclined to put
on bold front which. in some cases,
is taken ais sign of independence.
A lonesome expression was on the
faces of some of the members before
the President called them together to
listen for a few minutes to the un-
paid-for prayer by the chaplain. If
there was any lack of ferveney in.
the petition it left no impress on his
benign eountenance. Clerk Say1dge
looked as though the bill changing the
custodians of blank marriage licenses
had passed third reading and some of
the members, not all, looked as though
the expected money from home had
not arrived.
After the Journal of the seventh
day had been approved the clerk read
a communication from the House in
forming the Senate of the passage of
III. B. No. 4. Rules were suspended
and it passed first reading in the Sem
ate.
The sergeant-at-arms then announced
d message from the Governor.
The clerk was ordered to read but
had not gone far when Senator Lane
suggested that the matter be deferred
and sent TO the Printing committee.
The President declined to receive the
motion as it would show lack of
respect for the Governor. The clerk
continued reading the message which
related to Nuuanu dam.
Senator Coelho gave notice of his
intention to INTRODUCES:
An act to establish College of |
Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in Ha- /
waii and to provide for the Govern
ment thereof.

lowing resolution, the questions con-
tanned therein being directed to the

of such plan.
