Dissatisfied With wood
II was ihtimated, when consideration
Of the exposition commissioners was set
over to be taken up yesterday, that
this was rendered necessary for the
reason that QUE or more names would
involve so much discussion that spe.
cial time must be set. Also, it is re.
ported that yesterday Is argument was
almost entirely devoted to the matter
of Hawaii's representation at the
world 5 fair ut San Francisco, and that
II! p. Wood, chairman Of the Hawaii
c0mmission and director Of Hawaii Is
exhibit, came in for a good share Of
the critical conversation. The appoint
n.ent Of b. G. ,RivenbuTgh took but a
small proportion of the time Of the
senate and was confirmed without any
lotable discussion. -.'

1he opposition to confirming the gov
c.nor' s selection of Efinger was strong,
and final action was on the point OF
