It could have been finished up nleoly this forenoon, but tho Senators felt that they should not proceed to business Until Senators 11. P.

Baldwin nnd J. D. Paris werejnho city, so they ndjnurn-cd over until tomorrow forenoon. It seems to be a wdl understood fact that Dr, Russel who wns OUT forenoon appointed temporary president of the Senate, will be elected tomorrow as permanent president The Independents look, favorably on Edgar Cayploss for tho position of secretary and John E. Bush for Interpreter, it Is possible that P.M.

Testa will contest with Mr. Bush for this position. WOULD FORECLOSE MORTGAGE A.

REDUCTION SALE OF STRAW HATS AT IWAKAMl'S, HOT STREET. flii He Was Jugglipg When Conferring With Federal Officials, PROPERTY HOT TURNED i OYEtyFER AGREEMENT Customs Hoott' and Federal Court Roans Remain in the Du- -bious Custody of Territory. William II, Moer, representative of the Department ot who left for Washington on the Alameda last Sundny, went away from it' very much surprised, a very Indignant and somewhat Insulted man. Tho slight under which Mr.

Moyer departed proceeded from tho executive office and la Moycr's mind was nothing less than a flat violation of promise by Governor Dole. As published In the Bulletin nt tho time, a conference was held In Governor Dole's office between William II. Moyer, agent of- tho Department of JU8tlcval Washington, Federal Attorney rVlrd. 'Collector nf Customs, Stack-able atyt governor Dole on tho subject of Federal conrt rooms and tho Customs Hotis. According to Mr, Moyer, Governor Dole agreed with tfcc, rUlers at his office to turn over fo Mcurer ns the representative of the Department, of Justice, the Customs House absolutely and the rooms occupied by Judge Es-lee's oourt, conditionally.

This formal transfer ot the cuntudy of this Federal property was to havo been acknowledged in writing by Gov ernor, Dole, to Mr. Moyer. Howsver, the formal note never came and no explanation of tho reasons why It waa rlthhcld was given to MrMoyor. consequently, ho had to leave Hawaii without closing up one of the most Import-nnt matters which It was his business to settlo as examiner of Federal matters here. The status of Federal buildings Is tho snmo now us It lias been since Governor Dolo first gave scant courtesy In the matter of housing tho Federal Court on the arrival nf Judge Estee.

Mr. Moyer had hoped to close this whole mntter but did not figure that it wns possible fur the Executive of tho Territory to violate his official prumlpo and ignore tho accredited agent nt tho Department of Justice. Ills surprise nt Governor Dolo's action wns expressed freely nnd his feelings owing to the di rect slight given hlra were of the most painful kind. Inquiries made at tho Governor's office this morning ns to why the for mal notice of tho transfer ot the custody of these buildings had not been made to Mr. Moyer, elicited this ex-' planntlnn.

Governor Dolo had submit-, ted a letter to Secretary Gage, all tho farts and asked for his Judgment, On receipt of the views of Secretary Gage, thn Governor will mnko up his mind what to do about turning over the Federal property In question. This leaves tho problem Identically in tho samo stato It was In, before tho delegation of Federal officers called on tho Governor. It leaves tho flat promise of Governor Dolo unfulfilled nnd broken.
