About the most important business
dispatched by the Senate this morn
ing was its passage with important
amendments of the House bill to
provide for the depositing of Terri
torial funds in local banks McCar-
thy introduced by resolution pro-
posed bill for submission to Congress
for amending the homestead provi-
sions of the land laws. A keen con-
flict took place over Coelho's loan
hill and the counter proposal of the
ways and means committee majority
to leave local improvements to the
counties with authority to levy a
real estate tax of not more than one
fourth of one per cent to provide
therefor. The result was to set the
whole matter for consideration in
committee of the whole on Tuesday
afternoon.

MORGAN NOT
FOR OFFICE
OF CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE. STATES THAT HE
is NOT ASPIRANT.

j. f. Morgan, whom rumor has de-
clared to be a candidate for Terrific
rial Treasurer. declares that there is
no foundation for such talk and that
he has not thought for a moment of
the position. He stated that he had
heard that he had worked against A.
j. Campbell in the recent fight for the
latter's confirmation by the Senate,
but that as matter of fact he had
personally called on two senators and
had asked them to support Campbell.
The rumor around the streets to-
day has been to the effect that Gov
ernor Frear was liable to leave the
positions of both Treasurer and At
torney General vacant till the present
term of the Legislature had expired
and then to reappoint the present in
cumbents, taking as his precedent in
the matter the action of eX-President
Roosevelt in the Crum appointment
as collector of the port at Charles
ton, North Carolina. This would, of
course bring him into, a direct fight
with the Senate.

Here is a resolution which was in
troduced in the House this morning by
Representative Alfonso and which was
tabled by the close vote of fifteen to
twelve after a bitter fight and not
without the word graft being called
into use.
To pay the House stenographer an
extra compensation was the aim of the
resolution. Speaker Holtsein took
running swing at it with the Big Stick,
speaking in no tender terms of the in
troducer of the resolution and referring
to graft in previous legislative sessions,
or what was called graft.
There was talk with tingle on eth
er side and, on this forty-fifth day OF
the session, the greatest electric storm
of the session was pulled off. Truly it
thundered, too.
The situation resolved itself to the
proposition of whether the stenograph-
er or the Speaker was to run the affairs
of the House. The Speaker, fire in

Job, job, who wants a job? That
is, who wants a job with no salary,
but with a title and plenty Of chance
to be abused by everyone interested
in the liquor question. This matter
is agitating the mind of Governor
Frear, for he appears to be unable
to get anyone to accept the position
of Liquor Commissioner for the ISL
and of Oahu.
1t is understood on the best of au-
thority that the positions on the Ii
quor Commission of this island,
where there are at present two va
cancies, have been offered to a num-
Der of men and that in each case the
offers have been politely but very
firmly refused. The first to be offer
cd the job was Jack Lucas, who had

proposed act, the Senate curative mea-
sure for untying purse strings which
were made fast by the new purchasing
agent law and so enabling departmets
to buy stamps and other necessities,
and also to liberate funds for session
expenses; and a bill defining powers
and duties of representatives of es-
tates. All these bills passed first
reading in the House by title, and are
on Mondays order of the day for sec

HAWAII WANTS HER OWN.

luton adopted by Hawaii supervisors
April s, to the effect that Public Works
superintendent be requested to turn
over money TO the credit of North Hilo
district TO the Hawaii County treasury.
The resolution received in the House
was made elegant by the great golden

8 BIG SALE.

The first action of the new manage
ment at Jordans was the decision TO
have a monster clean up sale of the
entire stock and so put in a complete
new line from start to finish. A large
force of hands has been busily employ
ed remarking the entire stock The
store has been closed for three days
and every item has been carefully gobe
over. A big portion of the stock is
just received, but nothing will be re-
served. High grade merchandise is
seldom offered at sales. This is a
rare opportunity and a big success is
assured.

sideration at p. m. Monday.

HILO, April 9.-That Governor Frear
will call an extra or special session of
the legislature if the proposed Organic
Act amendments pass Congress, was
the statement made by Attorney Carl

course of his remarks he said that he
had held a long consultation with Gov
ernor Frear on the subject, and the
governor had told him that in the event
of the passage by Congress of pending
amendments to the Organic Act, Frear
would probably call an extra or spe-
cial session of the legislature, as there
were several financial matters that
would need attention.
At this special or extra session,
Smith thought, was the opportunity for

THE DEPOSITORY BILL.
Makekau in the chair, the Senate
in committee of the whole considered
House bill to authorize the deposit
of Territorial moneys in banks in this
Territory.
The bill was amended on motion of
Fairchild to make the rate of inter-
est not less than nor more than
4 per cent, the mover explaining the
purpose as being to prevent the Gov
ernment from forcing up the rate of
/ interest in time of panic. Without
such a provision the Treasurer might
be criticized for not obtaining the
highest rate of interest offered in
competition for money.
On motion of Moore the provision
that fidelity companies should insure
deposits was struck out, as such COM
panies would be likely to fight claims
to the last ditch.
The committee rose and iecommen-
ded the passage of the bill. The re-
port was adopted, passing the bill on
! second reading.

had not even been shown the resolu-
ton before it's introduction. He plain
ly intimated that it was up to the
members to crush the effort, at this
late date, too, to force any such scheme
ior easy money down the throats of the
House.
The resolution was a slap at the ac-
counts committee, Rice, of that com
mittee, resigned his position, declaring
so from the floor of the House Hol-
stein refused emphatically, to accept
it.
Shingle cried out that right or
wrong, he would stand by the Speaker
and the accounts committee"
Sheldon thought there was some
thing queer about flching in resolu-
ton of this nature at so late date.
Why wasn't it brought in before.
Douthitt at first refused to vote, say
ing he wanted a full ventilation of all
the facts.
The Speaker would not excuse him
and he voted against killing the reso-
luton.
Cohen called, for an executive session
to get at the facts of the entire situa-
tion, whether or not anything was
wrong. This was downed in the rush
of members to their feet to have some
thing to say.

passed from the Stenographer and
members of the finance and accounts

Consumption Cure

New York, May is. The Tribune
has this from London:
Sir Francis Laking now allows his
name to be used in connection with
the reported cure for consumption, of
which details have been sent to
America. He has watched every stage
of the treatment of a young man
suffering from consumption of both
lungs and throat, and has been SO
deeply impressed with the results
that he has recommended the stimuli
taneous application Of the Doig cure
to six or a dozen other cases of tuber-
culosis for the benefit of the medical
profession.
As Bond Street is an art, rather
than a medical center, nothing less
than a scientific demonstration will
be needed to convince the doubters
that a successful method of treating
the modern scourge has been discov-
cred there by veteran art dealer.
AS Mr.. Doig's brother describes the
process, it consists of the application
Of chemicals to the region Of the dis
ease, SO that the pus can be drawn
by chloride poultice to the surface
of the outer skin in an ulcer and
washed out by dressing the wound,
The treatment occupies from four to
six months.
Sir Francis personal supervision of
the test case, in which a complete
cure was affected, lends medical
authority to a system which has been
elaborated with scientific thorough
ness and religious ferYor. r.-PicaYune

Don't Like His Medicine

Washington, May 17.-Representa-
tive Hollingsworth, a new member
from Ohio, created a diversion in the
House to-day when he had the clerk
read a number of editorials from
Southern papers directed at himself.
Mr.. HollingsWorth is the member
who tried to get resolution through
the House calling upon the Secretary
of the Navy for an inquiry into the
engraving of the likeless of Jefferson
Davis upon the silver service to be
presented to the battleship Mississip-
pi by the State for which the ship
was named.
Representative Hollingsworth' OBJ
lection appears to have kindled the
fires of resentment in every country
editorial sanctum in Mississippi, and
the Ohio Representative rose in his
seat to-day with handful of clip
pings, and in a voice trembling with
emotion, asked the clerk to read the
assaults on his character, which he
construed as serious reflections on his
congressional actions. AS the blister
ing epithets were read by the clerk in
solemn voice they were greeted with
almost uproarious laughter from both
Republicans and Democrats. Even
Gen. Keifer, who still now and then
fights the battles of the old war on
the floor of the House, smiled broadly
as the clerk read, among other things:
f'An ass of the first magnitude. -
perhaps one of Sherman's buns,
who robbed defenseless men and
women. -
"ContemptibIe little whelp.''
"A political nonentity from Ohio. "
"A pale faced luminary. .
"A pusilanimous pigmy from Ohio. =
Representative Hollingsworth ap-
peared to be alone in his indignation,
though there was promise Of few
fiery speeches. Hence both sides of
the chamber felt relieved when
Speaker Cannon announced that, in
the opinion of the chair. the criticisms,
although appearing harsh, do not con-
stitute a reflection on the gentleman s
official character, and hence are not
privileged.
The tenor Of the editorials to which
Representative Hollingsworth object
ed left the impression that the Missis-
sippi editors were very much in doubt
as to who the Ohio Congressman is.
Mr.. Hollingsworth is sometimes call
ed General HollingsWorth, by reason
of having served out a short term as
Attorney General. That was twenty

in. Congress, but is not his fault.
When he finished serving out the term
as Attorey General he announced that
he would not again serve the public
until he was elected to Congress.
General Hollingsworth halls from the
southeastern part of Ohio, where the
mountains are high and the roads
rough, so that news does nat travel
fast. Last fall the voters of his dis
trict became impressed with General
Hollingsworth's determination not to
serve the public until it sent him to
Congress, and accordingly he repre-
sents the Sixteenth Ohio in Congress
to-day.
