Hawaii,s Constitutional Convention.

Hawaips constitutional Convention.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-The
election of delegates to the Ha-
waiian convention for the forma-
ton of a new constitution for the
Island government has been or
dered for today. 1t is believed a
majority of the natives will alb
stain from taking the oath abjur-
ing the monarchy, being deferred
by fear lest the Queen will yet be
restored.
The convention will consist of
the President and Advisory Coun-
Gil and eighteen delegates, the lat
ter elected by general vote. The
latter, together with the President,
will have a majority Of one. OF
the eighteen new delegates six
will be elected from the island of
Oahu. By section 4 the privilege
of voting was placed within the
reach of "every male resident of
the Hawaiian Islands, of Hawaiian,
American or European birth or de-
scent who shall have taken the oath
by this act provided" The oath
referred to is that the voter will
support and bear true allegiance to
the provisional government OF the
Hawaiian Islands, and will oppose
any attempt to re-establish mon
archical government in any form
in the Hawaiian Islands. The
oath at first contained clause re-
nouncing allegiance to Liliuoka-
lani, but this was afterwards
stricken out.
The new constitution to be sub
mitted, it is understood, provides
that the executive power is to be
vested in a president, who will
have seat in the executive coun-
eli, as is the case now. He will
have the right of veto, but such
veto can be overruled by a two
thirds vote of the Senate and
Assembly. The Upper House,
or Senate, is to consist Of
twenty-four members, to be APP
pointed by the president, vice.
president and executive council,
and will hold office for two years.
The lower house will consist Of
forty members, and is to be APP
pointed by the executive council,
senators and assemblymen who
have been agreed upon.

ATLANTA, Ga, May O. That
Major E. B. Stahlman will resign
the commissionership Of the South
ern Railway and Steamboat asso-
citation seems to be pretty we'll
settled, and that the dissolution of
the association will follow is al
most inevitable. The natural life
time of this pool ends on the 3lst
of July. The regular annual
meeting of the association
will take place today, when an at
tempt at reorganization will be
made. During the past year there
has been so much conflict between
opposing interests of the wide ter
ritory which the association covers
that Major Stahlman has found it
difficult to keep up the agreement
between them.

Bimetallic Conference.

LONDON, May 1.-The Interna-
tional Bimetallic Conference, I'M
der the auspices Of the Bimetallic
league, was called to order in
Egyptian Hall, in the Mansion
House, today, EX-Lord Mayor
Evans presiding. The proceedings
opened with an address by the ex-
lord mayor, Lord Mayor Tyler be.
ing unable to be present, after
which Prof. Nicholson read a pa
per on the "Fall in the general
level of prices in relation to the
appreciation of gold and diver
gence in the relative value of gold
and silver"
The feature of the conference was
a speech of Mr.. Balfour. He said
many who were suspicious of a
double standard, and a bimetalliC
system now recognized in view of
the great impending danger, the
safeguard is to rehabilitate silver
as one of the great instruments of
the monetary transactions Of the
world. 1t was absolutely neces-
sary, that the monetary functions
of silver should be restored,
if business was to be carried
on upon a solid basis.
The difficulties of an international
agreement, the speaker insisted,
were merely as to details, and if
any question should be settled by
an international agreement, surely
this one should be so settled.

STRIKE SETTLED,
And the Men GO to Work on the
Great Northern.


ST. PAUL, Mimi, May 2.-As a
result of the settlement Of the Great
Northern strike, last night, the
men have started to work, at
number of places along the line,
and today everything was running
we'll as could be expected, after
such a long tie-up of all the
freight, and much of the passenger
business. The strike was one
of the completest tie-ups in the his
tory of any labor trouble, no trains
having been run for over two
weeks west Of Minot, n. D., eX-
cept few mail trains on the
Mountain Central, and nothing but
mail trains east of there. The Rail-
way Union considers the result a
decided victory for that young or
ganization. One Of the prominent
members of the American Rail-
way Union states the intention
their body to work to the end that
old Railroad Brotherhoods would
bear the same relation to Railway
Union, that Legislatures of the
several states do to Congress of the
United States. He said further that
the Railway Union would never
rest satisfied until the constitu-
ton of all the old brother
hoods had stricken from
them any provision prohibiting
members from belonging to the
Railroad Union. He declared, eve
shall not rest satisfied until we
own the EARTH"

large Democratic majority in every
negro section Of the state
