TI19 very much discussed House bill
No. 1, appropriating $45,000 for the ex
penses of the Legislature, again mads
Its appearance in the Senate with the
following communication:
We do hereby certify that, upon a re
consideration, of tho vote by 'which the
Hours of Representatives concurred In
the Senate amendment to House bill
No. 1, entitled "An Act to appropriate
money for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the session of the Legis
lature of the Territory of Hawaii of the
year 1901. from the Public-Treasury,"
to wit: to strike out the letter "u" in
the word "fotirty" In the second line of
ectlon 1 thereof; - that n further
amendment was made by this House,
to wit: to substitute the word "ap
proval" for the word "publication" in
the tfcond line of tho second section
of M10 draft of said bill as amended
and transmitted to this house by tho
Senate, and which draff Is hereto at
tached; and theieupon this House re
concurred in the amendment made by
the Senate as herein aforesaid. ,
JOSEPH A. AKINA,
Speaker House ot Representatives.
S .MEHEULA,
Clerk House of Representatives.
This at once set on foot, discussion
which lasted until 11:45.
Tha first speaker on the subject of
Houss bill No. 1 was Mr. Cecil Drown.
According to his idea of the matter, the
bill. If presented'to the courts for a de
cision, could be thrown out because It
was not worth the paper it was written
on.
The bill bad been amended by the
Senate and returned to the House. The
latter body concurred in the amend-
'ment ot the Senate and this was as far
as the House had n right to go.. In
stead of that, they reconsidered the
bill, tacked on another amendment and
then sent It up to the Senate again.
The House had but ono course to pur
sue tb concur In or not to concur In
the amendment of the Senate,
Tho bill was now' In a worse condi
tion than when it first made Its ap
pearance on the scene.. It would prob
ably be the best thing for the jtenate to
introduce a Dili 01 its own, pass It In
three days and then send It on to the
House for Its approval. ,
Mr. Achl was In favor -of sending on
a notification to the House to the effect
that the Senate considered the bill void
on account of Us having been nmended
after passing third reading in both
housftt, and the amendment of the Sen-
ate being cdncurrod In by tho House.
Acordlng to Mr. Achl's view of the nc-1
tion of tho House, bills could be kept
golns back and forth between the two
houses. Indefinitely. Mr. Achi dwelt
on the fact that the members of the
Senate and House were In need of the
money due them. Something should be
done at once.
Mr. White said that the discussion so
far reminded htm of Shakespeare's
comedy "Much Ado About Nothing."
The 1111 was all right and should be
acted on at once. If the Senato con
tinued to' treat bills from the House
with such scant courtesy, there would
come a time In the near future when
the Senate members would be put down
as dictators or would-be schoolmasters
of the House. The House would not
stand thlsjsort ot thing and measures
from tho Senate would meet an untime
ly death If It was continued.
Mr. White concluded his remarks by
moving that the Senate concur in the
amendment of the House and refer the
bill to the Committee on Enrollment,
Revision and Printing. This was duly
seconded.
Mr. Kalauokalanl, noticing the gath
ering of a storm on tho horizon, moved
to adjourn until tomorrow morning.
This carried.
TELEGRAPH 18 SATISFACTORY

Dealing With Senate

The House met promptly nt 9 o'clock
this morning and after the regular pre
liminary business, set to work on the
regular order of business.
110 sergeani-ai-arms announced a
message from .the Oovornor, which was
as follows: . '
Your letter of March 18, wherein
you key "I have the honor tb transmit
herewith copies or resolutions adopted
by said body, and In pursuance there
of leepcctfully request you to state
wherein the first resolution' Is not "In
such shape as can be considered," has
been received. i
As but one document purporting to
be a resolution was transmitted with
your letter, and as the wording of the
letter presupposes the Intention to
transmit copies of more than one reso
lution, I await the receipt of copies of
such resolutions as may have been re
ferred to.
S. B. DOLK.
Representative Beckley moved that
communication be laid on the table-for
future consideration..
A communication was also received
from the Senate relating to the bien
nial fiscal period bill and its pasage.
A second message was also received
from the Governor:
The letter of the clerk enclosing a
resolution of the House of Representor
tlvesrequestlng originals or copies of
all records, books, documents, papers
and vouchers of every nature, kind
and description whatsoever, relative to
transactions of the executive depart
ment of the Government from the an-
nexatlon of these Islands to the Unit-
d States to date has been received.
In view of the relations of the
Executive to the superior authority of
the United States which has cxlstbd
since the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States, I respect
fully decline to accede to the prayer of
the if solution in Its present sweeping
form.
It the House desires Information
upon any special subject necessary tc
Its legislative work, which may bo fur
nlshed from such records. I shall be
happy to consider Its Requests.
Therefore, In regard to the second
requi nt of tbe resolution, I will furnish
the House with copies at official' cor
respondence between the government
and its special agent. Mr. A, S. Hart
well, during the transition period, as
soon as they are prepared.
Very respectfully,
(Blgned.) SANFORD R. DOLE.
Tho second message from tho Gov
ernor on motion of Decklcy was re
ferred to the chair, so that tho Speaker
should Inform the Governor that no
other such resolution had been passed
by the House.
Dickey objected to the direct ad
dressing of the Governor by the various
committee chairmen, suggesting that
all communications should go through
ftfee Speaker, No action was taken.
Mjkekau stated that the Governor
was hardly Justified In stating that tho
letter were not In shape, wbtlo this
morning's resolution stated that there
was more than one resolution.
After considerable discussion, Dick
ey called for Deckley's motton, stating
that tho time of tbe House was being
wasted.
Makckau claimed In turn that the
Governor was too premature In his
answer, and instead of watting until ho
could have met tbo committee ho took
tho message in its printed form.
Emmeluth called for the resolution
in question, relating to the request
REPLY
from tho Houso that It be shown where
in the resolution was at fault. After
tnoro discussion, Kmmeltith Btate1 that
he wished tho breach between tho
legislative and executive departments
might be bridged, but as long as the
Governor has not oven the dignity to
sign Ills official title to his messages
this would bo Impossible, Until tho
Executivo ceaBed to misconceive tho
actions of the Houso and to hngglo
over trifles harmony could not be.
Judging from tho tenor of tho messages
the matter simmered down to a ques
tion clveraclty bctneon tho Speaker
nnd Governor, He closed by moving
that the matter be laid over till to

It has been my endeavor, and I be
llevo It my duty, to assist the House
of Representatives and Its honorable
members In every way In my power. I
also believe that the relations between
the Executive and the legislative de
partments should be courteously main
talued; that the dignity of each de
partment demands that the conduct of
its business be In accordance with well
established rules, and precedents.
It Is with regret that I feel under the
necessity of returning the resolution.

HENRY E. COOPER.
On a motion by Emnielufh the letter
was tided over until tomorrow to be
considered with the Governor's mes
sages.
Senate bill No. C, relstlfiV to the fix
ing of the annual fiscal period for the
Territory of Hawaii, was received and
read. Deckley and Prendergast spoke
at iome length on the resolution, but
were finally answered by Robertson
wno cam that the bill was neither a
fish net to catch the sugar and rice
planters nor a bill to fix the date ot ap
propriations as stated by the two gen
tlcmen from the First District and Mo-
lokal. It did fix tho closing Of accounts
boweter. "Business should not be
done on the same plansji- the Senate
is carrying on matters," continued Mr,
Robertson. He moved the bill pass
first reading. s,
Makekau regained the floor and stat
ed that he had been unable to state his
side of the matter. The reason lie had
for wanting to reject the. Senate bill
No. 5 was to teach the Senators not to
reject a Hour bill on first reading,
He clnfid by stating that he proposed
that they reject this bill and frame a
new cne.
Kuiualae objected to the "c for
evil" .plan which some of his associates
wero pursuing. He objected to this
childish sort of proceeding and did not
think the House should play with the
Senate any longer. '
A motion by Makekau to reject the
bill, was lost. 12 being for and 14
against. a. -t
Emmolutb read tho report of the Ju
diciary Committee relative to the petl
tion of the Inter-Island Steam Naviga
tion Company for the return of bal
once of the license of the steamer Kilo
hana. The committee ndvlsed that tho
matter bo laid on the table.
Makekau moved that the report be
conVdered, but the Speaker called him
out of order because Kwallko had al
ready moved that the report be adopt
rd. Uwallko's motion was carried.
Resolution No. 24, appropriating cer
tain monies for tho uso ot road build'
lng Iif Hamakua was laid on the table
on the suggestion of the Finance Com
mltt:e. Makekau asked that tho re
port bo i ejected. After some discus
Ion, the report was adopted.
Robertson Introduced a bill to re
ward II, M. Levy, the former Hawaiian
hotel clerk, .for damage dono to him
durlnir the late plague by the Board
of Health. The petitioner claims that
he was removed unwisely and against
his will to tho pest house. As a result
of hi removal, great bodily pain and
mental anguish was suffered, and some
recompense should bo made to him.
Tho bill was referred to committee
and the House took the usual noon re

old MATTER
. IN
By Members of Legisla
ture Now in
Session.
WANT OF CONFIDENCE
RESOLUTION POSSIBLE
Refusal of Governor to Answer House
Question, Cause of Trouble
Now Waiting for Dole's
Answer.
The most serious subject by far that
has leen considered by the legislators
during the present session of the Legis
lature, Is now being quietly talked of
the passage of a resolution of want
of confidence In Sauford D. Dole, Gov
ernor of tho Territory of Hawaii.
Whllo this thing may never come to A
head, still. It cannot be denied that tke
subject is being talked of by both mem
bers of the Senato and Houso. Indeed,
the mutter, having started with mem
bers of the Legislature, has gont from
them to outsiders.
The cause of such a thing as the pos
sibility of a resolution ot want of con
fidence may be best summed up ln'ihe
following words of a member ofj tho
House of Representatives: "I do not
care to state all the considerations that
I nnd my colleagues In the' House have1
had before us In our talks. It there
is a resolution of want of confidence
Introduced, in the lower branch. It will
be Unit enough then to bring up such
considerations.
"However, there Is one consideration
that'people of this Territory can well
see, might be used as a part of the
foundation of a resolution of want of
confidence the refusal on the part ot
the Governor to answer questions re
garding Land Commissioner J. , F.
Drown on the ground that these were
not In 'such shape' as to receive con
slderatlon.
The Governor sent back the question
to tbe commlttro delegated to present
them to htm, without even the slight
est suggestion as to what 'shape' tha
questions should tako before they could
bo considered by him. We then adopt
ed a resolution, Introduced by Gll
flllan, to the effect that tho Speaker ot
the House transmit to the Governor
a certified sopy of tbe communication,
nnd beg him to Intimate wherein tbo
same requires amendment or altera
tion lu order to mako It acceptable to
him. Wc nre now waiting patiently
nnd, I must admit, with considerable
curiosity, for the answer of tho Gov
ernor, 'Naturally, there were certain sus
picions In the mind of the Introducer of
the questions sent to the Governor and
I must say that tho recent action' of
this official has by no means lessened,
the magnitude of these suspicions. On '
the other hand. It has made others of '
us suspicious who. In the beginning,,
did not gtvo much thought to the ques
tions that wero sent to tho Governor.
The legislators are now asking them
selves and their colleagues, the follow
lng questions:
1. ,'Why didn't the Governor answer
the questions?'
2. 'What Is behind this matter of
the Land Commissioner that he re
fuses to answer such questions wheta
they are so plainly put?
3. 'Can It be that. In this day and
generation, the Governor of an Amerl- ,
can Territory thinks tho peopje have
no light to know every transaction of
a government official when such trans
