Mr.. Sylvester says the far northwestern

is, In fact, unusual prosperity there. so
he says. Already over 800 miners have
passed in via Juneau for the gold mines
up the Yukon, and among them were
three or four women and twelve children,
who will walk the long distance of 600
miles. The women wore mems trousers
as we'll as the ordinary dress, in order to
protect themselves from the cold. Last
year the miners got good deal of gold,,'
said Mr.. Sylvester. II know quite
number who cleaned up from $4,000 TO
$1,000 and $4,000 each. and this has
awakened an increased interest and has

New YORK, May 16 = A Herald's
Buenos Ayres dispatch says: Several
officers in the Brazilian army have been
ordered to trial by court-martial for their
conduct in not defending the forts at
Nictheroy during the revolution.
1t is not believed in Buenos Ayres that
the trouble between Brazil and Portugal.
which has led to a suspension of diplo-
matte relations, will last much longer or
be attended by any serious consequences.
The general impression is that the Ad-
ministration will ask Congress to enact
tariff against importations for Portugal.
This tariff. it is thought, will be light, but
will serve to show Brazil's disapproval
of the course pursued by the Lisbon
Government during the recent revolu-
ton. At the same time it Will give Spain
and Italy an opportunity to send their
wines to replace those which have been
imported from Portugal.
President Peixotto has ordered General
Pineres Machade to march to the st.
Catherine frontier and 10 give battle to
Saraiva, with the object of stopping the
passage into Rio Grande de Sui OF the
latter. Details Of cadets have been made
from the school in Rio Janeiro TO all the
vessels of the navy to prevent mutinies.
The cadets have strict orders to shoot any
officers who show the first sign of dis
loyalty to the Government.
BUSINESS PARALYzED.
LONDON, May ia Times dispatch
from Buenos Ayres says the high gold
premium is partly due to the distrust of
the commercial community III the inn

rumors of impending designations Of
members OF the cabinet. Business in the
produce markets is paralyzed. owing to
the cheapness OF cereals, and the result is
that all commerce is adversely affected.

SONORA, May 16.-The storm of wind,

most fatal to sheep. The road from
Sonora up to Strawberry Station, dis

Up to this date some 10000 sheep have

ished. The total rainfall for the two days

government for the aUnexation
of the Hawaiian Islands to the
United States
That notwithstanding said
recited facts, said Provisional
government has continued to
exercise the function of govern
ment in this Kingdom to the
present date, and that its course.
from the time of its inception to
the present, has been marked by
a succession of arbitrary, illiberal
and dispotic acts. and by the
enactment and enforcement Of
pretended laws subyersive of the
first principles of free govern
ment and utterly at variance with
the traditions, history, habits
and wishes OF the Hawaiian
people.
That said Provisional Gov
eminent has now recently con-
vened and is now holding what
it is pleased to term constitu-
tional convention, composed
of nineteen l9) self-appointed
members, being the President
and Executive and Advisory
( Councils of said Provisional
Government, and eighteen 10
delegates elected by less than
ten per cent 90 per cent? of
/ the legal voters of the King
( dom, consisting almost entirely
of aliens, and chiefly of such
aliens as have no permanent
home or interests in Hawaii,
and which said convention is
now considering a draft of a
constitution copy of which is
hereto annexed submitted for
its approval by the Executive
Council of said provisioualgov
eminent consisting of the Pre-
sident and Ministers thereof.
That it is the expressed pur-
pose of the said provisional
government topromulgate such
Constitution as hall be APP
proved by said convention with
out submitting it to a vote OF
the people, or of any Of the
people, and to thereupon pro-
claim a government under such
constitution, and under the
name of the Republic of Ha-
wall.
That the said provisional
government has not assumed a
republican or other Constitu-
tional form, but has remained
a mere executive council OF
oligarchy, set up without the
assent of the people; that it
has not sought to find a per-
manent basis of popular sup
port, and has given no evidence
of an intention to do so; that its
representatives assert that the
people of Hawaii are unfit for
popular government and frank
" avow that they can be best
ruled by arbitrary or despotic
power, and that the proposed
constitution, so submitted by
said executive council of the
provisional government for the
! approval of said convention
does not provide for a con-
template a free, popular or re
publican formofgovernment.-
but does contemplate and pro-
vide for a form of government
of arbitrary and oligarchical
powers, concentrated in the
hands of few individuals ir-
responsible TO the people, or TO
the representatives of the peo-
pie, and which is opposed to
all modern ideas of free gov
eminent.
Wherefore, l, the constitu-
tional sovereign of the Hawai-
ian Kingdom, on behalf of my
self and the people of my said
Kingdom do hereby again most
solemnly protest against the
act aforesaid, and against any
and all other acts done against
