1872 Mr. PETTUS. Is not the phrase "on and after the date" mis- leading?
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. It is wrong. If the Senator
from Illinois will look at it he will see that it is wrong.
Mr. CULLOM. I took it out of the House print. Let it read "from and after its passage."
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Secretary will read the amendment as
modified.
The SECRETARY. It is proposed to strike oat sections 104 and 103, in the following
words:
SEC. 104. That the legislature of the Republic of Hawaii may enact
laws not inconsistent with the foregoing provisions prior to the taking
effect thereof.
SEC. 105. That this act shall take effect on the 4th day of July, 1900,
except section 104 hereof, which shall take effect immediately after the
approval of this net.
And in lieu thereof to insert:
SEC. 104. That this act shall take effect sixty days from and after the
date of the approval thereof.
The amendment was agreed to.
Mr. CULLOM. I believe it was understood that on the completion of the
reading of the bill there would be an adjournment.
The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator gave notice that he wished to
insert the word "exclusive" in two or three places.
Mr. CULLOM. There are quite a number of those places, and as I think
Senators are a little anxious that the Senate shall now adjourn, I will defer that
for a future day. I move that the Senate adjourn.
The motion was agreed to: and (at 3 o'clock and 20 minutes p. m.) the
Senate adjourned until Monday, February 19,1900, at 12 o'clock meridian.
February 17, 1900 Under clause 2 of Rule XXIV, Senate bills
House of the following titles were taken from the
v. 33 (2) Speaker's table and referred to their appro-
p. 1893 priate committees as indicated below:
S. 2708. An Act to amend an act making
appropriations for the construction, repair, and
preservation of certain public works on rivers and
harbors, and for other purposes, approved March 3,
1899 - to the Committee on Military Affairs.
TERRITORY OF HAWAII.
February 19, 1900 Mr. CULLOM. It is so nearly 2 o'clock that in the absence of
Senate anything else apparently that is ready for consideration, I will call
v. 33 (2) up Senate bill No. 222, to provide a government for the Territory
p. 1918-1934 of Hawaii.
The Senate, as in Committee of the Whole, resumed the con-
sideration of the bill (S. 222) to provide a government for the Ter-
ritory of Hawaii.
Mr. CULLOM. I ask leave to make a few formal amendments to the bill which
I did not have made on last Friday. I ask that they be made now. These are
simply to connect the statutes which are repealed.
