OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES DAY

SENATE-TWENTY NTY-sEvENTH DAY
The prospects for busy day in the
Senate Were apparent from the moment
the Senators read the order of the day
which included the consideration of
one of the Governor vetoes, the sec
ond reading of several bills from the
House and as many from the Senate.
There was some speculation over the
possibility of the Secretary getting in
a rumored veto in time to make it legal
and the matter hinged on the length
of the prayer by the chaplain. The
ten day limit expired at 1905 and if
that dignitary cut short his invocation
the veto would stand. Secretary At
kinson was not at his office so it fell
to Secretary Conkling to do the honors
He would take no chance as to time
so he presented himself to the clerk
even before the Senate was called to
order. In the opinion of wee president
this was rather questionable so he ask
ed that the veto be referred to the
judiciary committee, which was done.
A TEMPERANCE PROPAGANDA.
The members of the special commit
tee on the sale of Intoxicating liquors
had session which lasted all day Sun
day and instead of uniting them for
the days work added to their enjoy
ment. 1t seems that during the ses-
sion Attorney Mott-Smith made some
reference to Propaganda by the
temperance people. The word was
little out of the ordinary for the stem
ographer and the question of spelling
was referred to Clerk Savidge. 1t floor
ed him for a moment but he is never
at loss for a way out of a difficulty
tendance for a while he told the young
lady that it must have been to him
that the word referred. When the
Senators resumed after lunch and the
lady was asked to read her notes the
members were surprised to hear that
"any temperance clause by Papa
GandaIl would not be considered. - And
yet there is an effort being made to
hammer at the appropriation for school
teachers
There was a mistake made by the
trainers of the bill on trusts, notice
of the introduction of which was given
by Senator Makekau on Saturday. The
measure is not directed to transporta
tion companies directly but to any line
of trade that is being restricted. Trans
portation is only detail.
One of the best events of the day
was the announcement of the signing
by the Governor of Senator Coelho's |
bill to establish an Agricultural and
Mechanic Arts College. The announce
ment came late in the afternoon, after
the heat and labor of the day but |
it was none the less appreciated by
the introducer of the bill.
MORE VETOES.
The Governor has seen fit to veto |
the bill increasing the pay of jurors
as well as the one providing for the
construction of the road in Kau that
was destroyed by the lava flow. He
signing Senate Bills No. 80
and 40.
There is possibility that ~fhe veto
on Bill No. 81, relating to the wage
Of laborers in the employ of the Gov
ernment will have pretty close con
sideration by the Senate. Some of the
members feel that to secure that rate
# pay is to liquidate their obligation
20 their constituents and they may over
,ide the veto in an effort to keep faith
With the voters.
In the morning session there were
'eports from the House concerning the
of Bill No. III, relating to
he disposition of funds derived from
he sale of improvements on public
ands The bill passed first reading in
he Senate by title. House Bill No.
"a took the same course.
The real work of the day was read
ng and passing the appropriation bill
or salaries. The regular order of the ]
ay, beyond the consideration of that
ill, was forgotten and might have re-
1ained forgotten had it not been that
senator Mccarthy, who objects to be-
no considered the man who with two
ottles of Scotch in his pocket, was
ut off the train going to Eva, re-
linded the Senators that the House
