against their ideas. Cohen called at
teltion to what he termed glaring err
rors in the figures from the Auditor
upon which the Governor had based
his vetoes. 1t seemed to him that the
figures had been prepared for pur-
pose.
The House went into Committee of
the Whole in the matter and Shingle
took the chair. Cohen went to con-
suit with the Governor and his return
was awaited in recess.
The auditor, being questioned, show
ed that various estimates might be
responsible for apparent differences in
the figures as presented.
Secretary Mott-Smith addressed the
Commute of the Whole, making a
speech instead of merely answering
questions He made a fine defense of
the vetoes of the Governor.
The only vetoed items overriden
were; Three assistant clerks in the
first circuit court, and the assistant
clerk, messenger and interpreter of the

AT the evening session the House

to amendment of the Organic Act,
from which resolution the Senate had
stricken the land law, and which re-
solution was killed in conference com
mittee.

"Tiger-r-r-r!"

There We're many people in and
about the capitol last evening to at
tend the closing exercises of the Fifth
Hawaiian Legislature. 1t was 1895
when the session came to an end, but
hours before that men and women
gathered to see how a Legislature put
the finishing touch to its task.
1t was an interested crowd, for the
most part, though some wives and
friends of legislators got tired wait
ing, finding affairs of state in the last
agonies not conducive to entertainment
on the whole.
The visitors to the executive build
ing divided their attention between
the lower and upper houses. They
would take seats on the floor of the
House, making themselves comfortable
to listen to whatever there might be
doing, when, suddenly the air would
be rent by an almost unearthly scream
from the Senate chamber across the
hallway and, gathering their wraps
about them, the ladies would hasten
dragging their escorts after them, to
cross the Stygian highway between
House and Senate to harken to the
denunciations Of Coelho. Coelho broke
loose on several occasions, partly from
force of habit, partly for the benefit
of the spectators, for he has a theatri
cal sense, and partly because he be
lieved he was right. The latter men
tai condition could not be helped and
in spite of all, he did furnish entertain
ment and that was what the crowd ha,
gathered for.
President of the Senate w. o. Smitl
was presented by the Senators with
silver and gold loying-cup and was, a
is always said on such occasions 'visi
bly, affected" Only it was true il
