AFTERNOON SESSION.

The Convention reassembled at 1880,
and again took up the discussion OF
Article %.
Delegate Kahaulelio thought that
the majority was in favor of passing
the Section as it was in the draft.
Therefore he would vote for il. He
thought some of the members were
weakening.
Delegate Vivas thought that repre-
sentatives of the people had the right
to elect the President. The Conyen-
ton was not here with the power to
elect President, but to frame Con-
stitution.
Delegate Carter apprehended that
never again would this Convention
have an opportunity to do as popular
a thing as now. But he held that the
Convention had a right TO appoint
President Dole as President for the
next six years. His constituents, be-
fore election, understood that the Con-
vention was 10 have that right, and
he should vote for it.
Councillor Tenney said the purpose
of the Government was first and fore
most to obtain annexation. To do
that il must be in a position To nego-
tiate, and he must be elected in some
manner, If he is to be able to negoti-
ate. He believed the first President
of this Republic should be elected in
the same manner as the second one
will be. 1t places President Dole in
the position of a Central American
dictator, and / am sure he does not
want to be placed In any such position.
Councillor McCandless offered the
following substitute for the report of
the majority committee.
"An election shall be held on the
twenty-first day after the adoption OF
this Constitution for the purpose OF
electing the first President of the
Republic; at which said election all
the registered voters for election of
delegates to this Convention shall be
entitled to vote; and no person not SO
registered shall be allowed to vote.
The same proceedings shall be fol-
lowed as in election for delegates.
Until the result of such election shall
be aseertained and announced, s. r.
Dole is hereby declared to be the Pres
ident of the Rep1blic. The person
who shall be elected President "a
above provided shall hold office until
and including the thirty first day OF
December, 1900, aud thereafter until a
| successor shall have been duly elected
and qualified i"
Councillor Smith said he summarized

stituents were willing for him to vote

Carried.
At Ii:25 the Committee went into
Committee OF the Whole. The Pres
ident called Delegate Vivas to tho
chair, but he declined on the ground
of lack of experience. Councillor Ena
being called, objected because he
wanted other members TO get exper-
ience, but finally consented.
1t was voted to consider Article q.
ARTICLE 23-FIRsI PRESIDENT.
Sanford b. Dole is hereby declared
to be the President of the Republic OF
Hawaii, to hold Office until and in
Guiding the 31st day OF December, A.
ID. 1900, and thereafter until success
sor shall have been duly elected and
qualified.
The majority of the Committee
Executive recommend passage as In
the draft.
Councillor Waterhouse moved to
adopt the report.
Delegate Vivas moved to substitute
for "I900," 1894.
Delegate Ables was in favor of Dele
gate Vivas' motion. There was no
one in the country more heartily in
favor of President Dole's continuing
in Office than himself, and he believed
there would not be dissenting voice
on the subject.
Councillor Emmeluth was also In
favor of Delegate Vivas' motion. He
would favor an election of President by
the voters who We're already register
ed, if that was the mode of electing
subsequent Presidents. But as the
Legislature was to elect, he favored
election of them. He did not think
the Convention has any right to ap-
point President. He could not see
how there could be any doubt as to the
result of an election by the first legis-
ture.
Minister Damon said this Republic
was Just starting, and it should start
right. To appoint President in .
Convention which was called for ano-
| ther purpose, looked too much like q
| Snarp move. mere was sonetimeS o
lack of equity alb ut things that were
| perfectly legal. He did not see where
a man could be found TO take Presi-
| dent Dole's place. To attempt to dis
| place him would be an attempt 10
s'down" annexation, and that would
| simply invite revolution. But it was
| due both to him, and to the people too,
that they should have an opportunity
through their duly elected represent
| atives to elect him. We wished TO es-
| tablish through this Constitution
| freedom, and not force. He was q
natural Conservative, but had been
taught by this movement to trust the
| people. The men who had made the
revolution would stand by President
Dole, and elect him.
At IL :55 the Committee took a
recess until 1:30.

On Sunday morning between three and
four o'clock the alarm of fire brought our
people from their beds. 1t was just the
hour especially on Sunday morning, that
t)wn people sleep the soundest, snd the
first faint alarm was responded to rather
more slowly than usual. The first to get
upon the Streets soon saw that they had
fierce fire to fight, the whole southern
end of Main Street being brightly illumi-
mated. the entire roof of the large frame
and log house of Mr.. G. H. P. Lindamood
being in a blaze. When the fire apparat-
us reached the ground to the surprise of
many it was found that no fire cistern
was in fighting reach Of the building. A
shallow we'll was fonnd at the end Of the
long back building and at this the en-
CINE was put to work and two streams
were soon playing on the fire. Unfor-
tunately the stream that feeds the we'll
Is weak one, and In a short time the
water was below the suction pipe of the
engine. This forced a move to the we'll
near the Reformed church a considerable
distance from the fire, but the boys were
not long IN again getting water on the
flames while Others went to work to pull
down the blazing logs. Fortunately the
morning was clear and no trouble was
found in keeping the flames from the
nearest building and the bridge that
spans the Spring Hollow and abuts al
most against the corner of the burned
house.
A sufficiently largo fire eistein, such as
that end OF town should have, might have
saved great part OF the building. John
McAfee, a colored barber, had moved
into the house a few days before the fire.
His household effects were carried out
and saved by Messrs. C. S. Marshall and
Marsh Hoshour, the first to reach the
ground.
We learn that Mr.. Lindamood bad the
building insured for $500 which, it is
thought, will cover the loss.
As has been the case at some other OF
our late fires large number Of ablebod-
led men kept along on the pavement and
with a selfshness that would make dog
sick, watched handful of men and boys
drag a heavy engine to the fire. When
the building was reached these sane
people looked on and could not be sham
ell into taking a turn at the engine, but
left comparatively few to work it all
the time. A number of these are men,
bers of the fire company for the sole
purpose of lodging the capitation and
water tax. while quite a number of the
best workers at fires ere not members OF
department and pay their taxes like men
