sclyc. TO ihe pulpit. second the mo
tion 90 adopt the resolution
Sheldon Peeved.
sheldon expressed himself in a pecu.
liar way, He intimaied that his reason
for opposing the resolution was that
the house had refused TO concur in his
wish that the public be invited TO come
before the house and express itself in
regard to the resolution.
Kanihos Reasons.
Kaniho favored the resolution for the
reason that some of his constituents
drink, not because he was a Mormon.
Coney was of the opinion that the
question was not whether there shall
be prohibition in the Territory Dut
whether congress shall take away from
the legislature to power to legislate.
Enough of Liquor.
Kaeiopu expressed the opinion that
the house had had liquor enough, and
moved the previous question, which ear
ried. The ayes and noes on the ques'
tion of adopting the resolution were
takes, the result being 26 for and two
against its adoption.
No Outside Business.
The house yesterday morning voted
unanimously not to consider any bust
ness not directly connected with the
special purpose for which the legisla-
ture was convened Sheldon, chairman
of the rules committee, at the beginning
of the morning session, offered resolu-
tion as follows:
"Resolved by the house of represen.
tatives of the Territory of Hawaii in
special session, That they will not con
slider bills not connected with the call
of the Governor by proclamation and
that all bills that shall be introduced
or may be sent from the senate shall
be tabled without debate. "
A Slap at the Senate.
Furtado moved its adoption, but
Long expressed the fear that the adop.
ton of such resolution might be con-
strued as a slap at the senate in retalia-
ton for the resolution adopted the day
before by the upper house not to con-
slider any bills except the four previous
ly introduced by Coelho, the fearful
statesman from Maui. The house, he
said, could not afford to take slap
at the senate.
But Speaker Holstein stated that he
had as yet received no official notifica.
tion of any such resolution adopted by
the senate. Douthitt offered an amend.
ment to cut out the words that might
| be construed as aimed at the senate
and with this amendment the resolu
tion was adopted. This ended any hope
the fearful one might have had of get
ting his political bills through the leg
islature. Coelho, however, could hardly
have been disappointed, as he said the
day before that all he wanted was to
get the senate to pass the bills and
|
in introducing them was purely polit'
ical, of course.
A Slap at fearful Coelho.
Later in the day, when three of tear.
full CoelhOs bills came down from the
senate, they were carefully tabled, in
accordance with the effect of the reso.
luton.
Routine Business.
Aside from these matters the house
transacted only routine business The
senate appropriation bill to defray its
own expenses passed second reading.
Mrs. Atcherley's communication was
referred to the health committee, which
etfectually buries it too deep for dis.
interment. The Speaker of the house
! and the chairman of the accounts com.
mittee Were, on resolution offered by
Alfonso, authorized to settle all claims
against the house after the end of the
| session. Senate concurrent resolution
| !, providing that the school fund com.
| mission be instructed to look into the
matter of securing an endowment for
the College of Hawaii was adopted in
| accordance with favorable report of
the education committee. Like s resolu.
tion, making an appropriation for the
care and relief of the persons released
from the leper settlement was tabled,
in accordance with the resolution not
TO consider any business not directly
connected with the amendments to the
Organic Act.

Yesterday afternoon, at the invita-.
tion of Representative Sheldon. chair.
man of the dam committee, party of
the members of the house took a ride

expected happens.
