and sober working men and farm
ers to come here, and when they
have come we must interest them
in the institutions of the country.
For reasons which are known to
everyone, the trainers of the Consti-
tuition have been compelled to
place rigid restrictions upon the
right of naturalization. 1t is there
fore all the more important, as
Minister Smith said yesterday, to
build upon the privilege of deniza-
ton, a judicious extension of which
to deserving persons will obviate
any hardships which would other
wise arise from the restrictions
upon naturalization.
1t must be conceded, however,
that the objections urged by Presi-
dent Dole and others against allow
ing denizens to vote have great
weight. Their is danger of unfair
discrimination, and the power
vested In the Executive is an es-
sentially irresponsible one, and
therefore liable to abuse.
We believe the difficulty here
can be met by granting the ballot
to denizens, adding, however, the
provision that the Legislature may
hereafter abridge this privilege.
This will bridge over the gulf be-
tween the present and such time
as naturalization treaties can be
negotiated.
As the Convention has adopted
the article, the matter is left in
such a shape that no alien can
naturalize and none can vote, except
those who obtain a certificate of
special service. This is certainly
unfortunate. Is it not also I'M
necessary?

FEsTINA LENTE.

The Constitutional Convention
has set itself to it's work with an
earnestness and despatch which
are extremely creditable; and the
first reading of the Constitution is
now practically complete. Is there
not danger, however, of too much
speed7 "Make haste slowly" is a
maxim of much wisdom.
The work of framing Constitu-
ton is one of delicacy and impor-
lance which can hardly be overes-
timated. Mistakes are costly and
slow of correction. It is better not
to make them. The draft of the
Constitution as it was laid before
the Convention was the fruit of
patient thought, long consideration
and much discussion. In passing
through the hands of the next set
of lawmakers, however, it has suf-
fered many radical notifications.
Who can say just what the effect
of all these will be? Every chess
player knows that what is appar-
emily a most Insignificant move
may bring about whole series of
unattended consequences. The
makers of laws frequently enact
something quite different from
what they want. According to
late decision of the Supreme Court
of South Carolina, the Legislature,
when it passed the Dispensary law,
really provided for total prohibi-
ton. Others thought the result
should be the unrestricted and un-
licensed sale of liquors. The Legis-
lature, in point of fact, dreamed of
neither of these things. 1t sought
to place the sale of liquor in the
hands of the State.
Some method should be adopted
by the Convention to avoid the
consequences of haste. If the Con-
stitution is not read through article
by article three times, then, at
the end of the second reading, it
should be referred to the strongest
committee obtainable for careful |
scrutiny of the whole instrument |
from bebinning to end. The COM
mittee should take ample time for
this purpose, and, only after a
final report of the committee,
should the Constitution be adopted |
by the Convention.

DENIzENsHIP.

The article in the Constitution
which authorizes the issue of let
tiers Of denizenship led to consider
able discussion In the Convention
yesterday, which resulted in a
compromise between the opposing
views. The article passed, but the
provision allowing denizens to vote
was stricken out.
No doubt there are objections to
the issue of letters of denizenship,
but they are more than counter
balanced by the advantages. The
coat must be cut to fit the cloth
and provision which would be USE
less and meaningless in the Amer
lean Constitution may be natural
and appropriate in Hawaii, where it
may answer to some irresistible
necessity. The proportion of
aliens to natives in country ike
this must invariably be extremely
large. We look to an alien immi-
grafton as source of the best ele-
ments in our population. Such an
immigration will be essential to
the development of our free state.
It is obvious therefore that ordin-
airy rules must be relaxed in order
to encourage the growth of an i'm
migration of the right sort. We
must makes it pay for industrious

Now that the Holomua is disap-
pointed in the conduct of Minister

estimate of the character of these

change, and it now covers them
with the same kind of language as
that which it has always poured
out upon the Provisional Govern

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION.

The action of the United States
Senate regarding the Hawaiian
matter will be generality approved
by the country. Only the radical
annexationists will feel disap-
pointed. But they may take COM
fort in the clear notice given to
other nations by our own, that
while the United States will not
interfere in Hawaii, it will view as
an act of unfriendliness any at
tempt by any other power to inter
fere.
So Hawaii is to be let alone; it
is to work out its own destiny; it
is to be protected from outside
interference, and its people are un-
aided to determine the form of
government they wish to live un-
der. The result of the receipt of
this news in Hawaii will be the
destruction of the hopes of the roy
alists, and equally the citation of
the friends of a republic. That
the outcome will be the permanent
displacement of the monarchy and
its pretensions cannot now be
doubted.
We understand perfectly we'll
what is the position of the oppo-
nents of the new constitution pro-
posed for Hawaii. They point out
that it is not the choice of the peo-
pie of Hawaii, because the majority
do not vote upon it. But they were
offered the opportunity to do so,
the only proviso being that they
should take the oath of allegiance
to the new dispensation. TO that
they reply that it is an unjust ex-
action that they should be allowed
to vote as royalists or otherwise,
and that unless this is done, no
free expression can be had, there
fore any government set up without
such expression will be unrepre-
sentative.
The answer of the Provisionalists
is simple, namely: 1.-The Provis-
iopal Government is fact. It has
itself successfully for a
year and a half; it has admins
tered affairs wisely, economically
and without Infringement of the
liberty of the citizen. It is its |
right, therefore, in retiring in
favor of new Government |
selected by the people, to require /!
voters at such selection to declare |
under oath their submission to the |
existing Government and recogni-
ton of its authority to call the |
election" So the matter stands,
and Hawaii will now work out its |
own political salvation, with all
the probabilities pointing to the |
permanent establishment of a re-
pabfic.-Sacramento Record Union.

WARRIORS UNDER ARMS.
Rival Native Rulers in Samoa Pre-

move President Schmidt.

Apia, Samoa, Oct. 10, via San Fran
cisco, Oct. 26.-There have been no re-
cent conflicts between the rival native
bands. All the warriors are still under
arms, however, and the people here are
prepared for an outbreak to occur at any
time. The Samoan land commission
which had prepared to hold sittings in
the District of Atua to dispose of cases
there, was notified by the heads of the
rebel party that they would not be al
lowed to do SO. The letter sent was a
most impertinent one. 1t is expected the
commission will now proceed to Atua on
one of the warships. A movement has
been secretly inaugurated here to circu-
late a petition to the three treaty powers
urging the removal of President Schmidt,

siderable dissatisfaction. The German

mine in KeWeenaw county, as the vein,
after continuous productiveness for for

ed Orders were issued for pulling up
the pumps and the machinery was of

PLOT TO RESTORE QUEEN LII
Uprising of Royalists in Honolulu
Planned for Election Day,

Honolulu, Oct IS, via San Francisco.
Cal, Oct. 26.-Rumors of royalst up
rising, now that the first election of the
new republic draws near, are again cir
culated. This time, rumor says, election
day, October %, has been chosen as the
date of an attempt to restore the eX-
Queen. Very little stock is taken in the
tale, however. Nominations for senators
and representatives have been made. Out
of twelve chosen for this island Oahu
only two are natives, and this has caused
some criticism among the native anneXa-
tonists. Every nominee has been pledged
to the support of the annexation plank in
the platform to the exclusion of every
thing else Sanford Fleming, an English
man who has been in Honolulu for some
time in the interests Of the British Gable

Australia, leaves on the steamer today.

Neckar island to England, claiming if
this is done the cable project will be at

ENT0MBED IN A NINE.
Twelve Men Probably Killed by a
CaVe-in at Iron Noun
tain, Mich.

Iron Mountain, Mich, Oct. 26.-By a
cavern on the fourth level of Shaft No.
l at the Pewabic mine at o'clock yes
terday afternoon one man is known to
have been killed and eleven others are
entomhed. The accident was caused by
the sandstone Gaping overturning with Il
sufficient force to crush the timbers.
Without any warning the settling began
in an old room above the third level,
about 100 feet in height.
Supt. Brown expressed himself as be-
ing confident that all the entombed men
would be taken out alive. This will de
pend very much on whether the air is
pure and of sufficient quantity to keep
them alive. Some miners seem to think
that the supply will not prove sufficient
and that it is charged with poisonous
powder gases.
Frank Ganarlis is the name of the man
killed. He was a married man. His
body has been taken out. Supt. Brown
was unable to furnish a correct list of the
men imprisoned, but among them are:

ALL RESCUED ALIVE.
Men Imprisoned in the PeWabic Mine
Brought to the Surface
Uninjured.

Iron Mountain, Mich, Oct. 27-The
rescue Of the imprisoned miners at the Pc
Wabic mine was accomplished between 6
and Z o'clock this morning. and all were
hOlsted to the surface without a mark.
There is great rejoicing in the community.
There were practically no sensational
incidents in connection with the rescue Of
the miners. The men were imprisoned for
over forty hours, but at no time did they
consider themselves III danger or dispair
of rescue. The men were pIentifully sup
piled with water and the air was pure,
and beyond missing IL few meals the men
suffered no Inconvenience. When the up
per works gave way the men were at
work back in the drift and their cX
perlences were very commonplace. The
greatest sufferers were the wives and chill
dren of imprisoned men and several of
them are nearly at deaths door from nery-
Gus prostration The men view their ex-
perence III the nature OF a joke.
The loss to the company will amount to
several thousand dollars and to the men
is much more in wages, for all work was
suspended during their Imprisonment.

Another Decisive Victory Gained by

pletely Routed.

Yokohama, Oct 26.-The Japanese
have gained a decisive victory at Kiuren
over 1000 Chinese. The enemy fed
toward Antung. The Japanese captured
a quantity of booty, thirty guns and 300
tents as we'll as a quantity of provisions.
The Chinese lost 200 killed, a number
we're wounded and many We're taken pris-
oners.
After the battle between the Chinese
and japanese forces after the latter had
crossed the Yalu river the japanese army
advanced northward and Kiuren castle,
which was held by large force of
Chinese, was attacked upon all sides.
The Chinese made a desperate defense
and the fighting was very severe. The
Chinese are reported to have numbered
10000 men.
A dispatch received today repeats the
assertion frequently made that the second
japanese army has landed on the east
coast Of the Peninsula Of Kinchow upon
which Port Arthur is situated. The

patches, now occupies the neck of the

ion of the Chinese Naval
Station.

Shanghai, Oct. 25.-It is reported here
that the Chinese have evacuated Port
Arthur. A report is also current that
the Japanese have effected a landing at
fallen Wan bay on the Corean side of
the Kwang Tung peninsula not far from
Port Arthur
Yokohama, Oct. 25.-It is reasserted
here that the army corps under Field
Marshal Count Oyama formerly minis
ter of war, has effected q landing at
Seikiosso near Port Arthur It is also
again asserted here that the Japanese
army under Field Marshal Yamagata
has successfully crossed the Yalu river
and entered Manchuria. 1t was an
nounced on September 20 that Field Mar
shall Count Oyama has sailed from
Hiroshima with the second Japa-
nese squadron. Since then it has
been repeatedly asserted that Japa-
nese had effected q landing near
Port Arthur and it has been stated that
a report was current that this important
place had been captured by the japanese.
On the other hand the japanese have
several times been reported as having
crossed the 9alu river and also as having
been repulsed. For instance, on October
8 a Shanghai dispatch stated that Field
Maxhal Oyama had crossed the Yalu
river and the last time he was reported
to have been repulsed was on October
%, when it was asserted that both sides
lost 1000 men in the engagement which
resulted in the Japanese being driven
southwark. If the Japanese have been
SO uniformly successful in their opera
tons against the Chinese it is difficult to
understand how they have so many of
their soldiers wounded and already sent

on October % announces that 1900
wounded Japanese had Erriyed there,

Der of wounded Japanese at Seoul and

Japanese had already been sent back to
that country. Surprising the large num-

about 6000 wounded are already known
at Chemulpo and it is safe to assume
that this number does not include those
who were engaged in the recent fights
said to have occurred about the Yalu
