HONOLULU, Jan. 10, via San Francisco
Jan. 19.-There is no important change ii
public affairs on the island since advice
by the Australia. Strong remonstrance
have been addressed to Minister Willis b,
President Dole in regard to his "menaoin,
attitude toward the provisional govern
ment." 1t is learned that new constitu
don is all ready to be promulgated at tn
proper time. Chinese laborers are to b,

working out q form Of constitution for tn.
| Independent Hawaiian republic which i,
| now substantially settled upon. Its form
| Is like those of the states of the Union

upper and lower houses of the legislature
For voters of the members of the lowe,

to read and write the English language
which will exclude most of the Japanese
For voters for members of the upper house
will be required q considerable educational
and property qualification sufficient tc
procure a predom'nance of intelligent
white citizens who will also control the
choice of legislative. Under this constitu
ton the native element will possess all the
share In legislation which 1t has ever had
while the royal and executive power will
practically be Transferred to the control Of
the more intelligent and capable white
population.
The government will not proclaim this
constitution until after learning from Mr..
Thurston that there Is no present pros
poet of any form of political union with
the United States There is no doubt
Whatever that such a constitution will be
heartily approved by the rank and file Of
the supporters OF the provisional govern.
ment, who will gladly forego, if necessary,
some voting privileges in order to secure
the results of the revolution for which
they have for years facsd so mach danger
together. To make the right of suffrage
unlimited would be simply to throw away
all they have worked for. No constitu
ton in Hawaii has ever been submitted to
vote Of the people, but has simply been
proclaimed by the executive auehority,
which precedent Is likely to be followed In
the next similar case.
In an interview Ktaulsni's guardian, Mr.
Davies, said 1t was difficult to forecast the
future of Hawaii. The provisional gov
eminent could not possibly 60 on. It was
simply the rule of the mob, answerable
only to popular clsmor. His desire was
for pesceable compromise between the
queen and Dole on which suitable arbitra.
tors should have adjusted new constitu
ton, reducing the royal power so It would
be like that of Victoria. But he was made
aware that the provisional government
would listen to no propositions of that
kind.
Mr.. Davies claims to be entirely disin.
terested in his views. He stands on the
highest ground Of principle, firmly repro.
batting the great wrong of attempting to

the American people against the British

and other Euglishmen to annexation is due
to anti-American prejudice and the CORE.

The coming 18th of January is the frs
anniversary of the abolition of the Hawaii

ment has ordered that the day be observed
as holiday. Planters oppose this, how
ever, as interfering with their labor In tn
busy season. In any case the day will b.
