LoND$N, February S.-The work of
removing the bodies of the miners
who lost their lives by the explosion
in the colliery at Abersychan yester-
day is being carried on as rapidly IS
possible. Already 40 bodies have
been taken from the pit. LII is believ-
ed that the total number Of persons
killed will reach 100. The ventilation
of the pit has been restored and this
greatly facilitates the efforts of the
workers. A very pathetic incident in
the work of rescue was the finding Of
the bodies of father and his fivesons
lying in group. They had not been
burned at all and they appeared TO
calmly sleeping. All OF them had died
from suffocation. Several of the men
who had volunteered for the work of
rescue were made sick by handling
the burned bodies and were obliged
to come to the surface.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

Rep. Kalua's bill providing for the
calling of Constitutional Conven-
ton has come back from the Print
ing Committee, so that we are en-
abIed to give the public brief
abstract of its contents. 1t provides
for an election of forty-eight dele
gates to Constitutional Convention.
This election shall take place on the
fifth Wednesday after the House
goes out of session. Two delegates
are to be chosen from each election
district, and the qualifications of
delegates and electors for delegates
are to be the same as those of repre-
sentatives and electors for represen-
tatives under the present election
law. The election is to be regulated
in accordance with the general
principles of the election law of
1888, except that the Minister of the
Interior shall provide for absolute
secrecy of the ballot. The conven-
ton shall meet two weeks after the
election. Pay of delegates is fixed
at two hundred dollars, with an al
lowance for travelling expenses, and
the length of the session of the con-
vention is limited to three months.
In case no Constitution has been
adopted by the convention at the
expiration of that period, it is pro-
vided that the present one shall re-
main in force, except that all articles
which may have been agreed upon
shall be treated as constitutional
amendments, as such to be finally
passed or rejected at the next regu-
lar sitting of the Legislature. After
the convention has adopted consti-
tuition, it must be published four
weeks in English and Hawaiian, at
the end of which time it must be
submitted to the people for ratifca
ton. If ratified, by popular vote,
the King must Immediately sign it,
and it shall thereupon become law.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1890-09-02

That Petition Against the Constitution.
Mr.. EDITOR: The native Hawaii
an urges two objections to the pres
ent Constitution. The first is that
it was secured by force, and is
therefore vitiated from q moral
point of view, and it was not the
voluntary gift of the King.
Granting for the sake of argu-
ment that 1t was executed by force,
will any native undertake to say in
the face of the history of the pre-
vious twelve years that it could
have been secured by any means
short of show of determination to
use force and resort to the use of
arms in self-defence if necessary;
OF that those who undertook to
secure an honest administration of
government contrary to the wishes
of the King would have been wise
to have gone about the work I'M
prepared for self-protection, in the
face of the ugly rumors that were
afloat and the threats that were
said to have been uttered against
any who might undertake to ac-
complish the work?
The second objection is that they
were not taken into confidence and
invited to cooperate with the
whites in bringing about the re-
form.
This objection is SO utterly alb
surd that it has rarely found ex-
preston. A sufficient answer to it
is that the great mass of native
Hawaiians have so light an estimate
of the value of the elective franchise
and care so little how the Govern
ment is run that years of strenuous
effort to secure their cooperation
to bring about reform by peaceable
means at the polls were so utterly
ineffective that the condition of
affairs was continually growing
worse, and that because much of
of their cooperation, especially in
Honolulu, was with corruption and
not in the interests of good govern
ment.
Look at the same question from
another point of view. See how
readily they listen to the rantings
of those leaders who are striving to
inclte race hatred, and how they
join in a mass to Willy the ''haoles"
and seek TO put them under foot.
What thanks have those who
have spent their lives striving to
elevate them by precept and ex-
ample, and these who are now
pouring out of their abundance to
establish and sustain some institu-
tions that seeks to benefit native

was stated in theHouse that the COM
pany propose to treat the subsidy
as a guarantee fund for the pay

that it will be placed in the hands
of trustees for that purpose. If
this is true it will facilitate materi-

and will operate indirectly in the
interest of the Government.
