Satisfactorily.
IT he proposed cable project is
also hailed with pleasure in Hawaii"
he remarked. "You must know
that for years the government there
had a standing offer Of $4,000 a
year for q cable connection with
America, and though our present
condition has been somewhat uncer-
tain, now that We have settled upon
a permanent basis, my colleagues
and myself are quite ready to do
what we can to favor cable, either
by way of Victoria or San Francisco.
You Canadians no doubt prefer to
have 1t laid here, in sympathy with
your Imperial interests, and | must
say that 1t appears that the cable
seems more likely to come this way
than by way OF San Francisco"
Mr.. Damon Is delighted with his
trip across by the Warrimoo, and
says the accommodation and atten-
ton shown to passengers will make
the Canadian route great favorita
with tourists and the travelling pub
lie generally. He leaves this morn

Francisco. He il accompanied by

The United Press correspondent

THE convention completed the
third reading Of the constitution on

cancellations were made and the
order Of several sections changed.
They will meet on the morning Of

"The constitution is To he proniul-
gated at IA. M. on July 4, aud Pre-
sideut Dole is to take the oath Of

the excursion was said TO he fishing.
IAN attempt Is being made by
royalists to win over by brides the
heads Of the American League aud
the Scbuetzen Club, Tim Murray
and II. Klemine, who were offered
last week $500 each. The Queen
was to proclaim q satisfactory con-
stitution il she might bs restored.
Murray and Klemine Informed the
government, and were instructed To
encourage the negotiations TO the
point Of getting some of the money
handed over. This has not yet been
done, although the sum offered has
been doubled. While there has been
much kicking aud growling in those
associat ions, they are thoroughly
loyal to the revolution, aud Il Is
childish to suppose that they could
be turned over by their leader to the
Queen. Billy Cornwell, late minis
tor OF finance, oilers the bride, al.
though il II not learned where the
money comes from. He is believed
to have II in hand, but Carson Ken
yon is the go.between.
The royalists are greatly agitatsd
and extremely anxious to prevent
the establishment Of the republic.
As n prominent citizen expressed Il,
they can only bark, but dare not
bite. Tho government do not be-
lievs that they will make any at
tempt whatever ut resistance any
more than they have done for eight
cen months past. They will, how
ever, take no chances. Every pre-
caution will be used. The constitu.
ton continues to the advisory coun-
ell all tho powers Of the legislature
until tho latter is elected and meets.
The citizens held mass meeting
this evening at the drill shed for ths
purpose OF supporting the new con-
stita,iou. The royaiists also held
one on Palace square al x p. N. for
the purpose Of making a protest
against II. The royalist mass meet
ing WAS q dismal failure. There was
scarcely AL attempt To cheer the
speakers. About four hundred ma
tives aud one hundred whites were
present, the latter mostly from
curiosity. The natives looked stolid.
