HAWAIrs GOVERNMENT.

People.

Form Of the Constitution to Be Submitted to the
People.
Ever since the retirement of President Dole
from the Office Of Minister of Foreign Affairs
he has been engaged in drawing up new
constitution to be submitted the convention
to be held in May.
The Government is very reticent in regard
to the new instrument, but it has been ascer-
tained on good authority that by the consti-
tuition which President Dole will submit the
executive power is to be vested in President
who will not have seat in the Executive
Council, as in the case now. He will have
the right of veto, but such veto can be cTer-
ruled by two-thirds vote of the Senate and
Assembly. The Yice-President will not have
a seat in the Executive Council either, and
his duties will simply be to preside over the
Senate.
The Executive Council will consist of five
members. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minis
ter Of Finance, Minister OF the Interior, Min
lister of Health and Education and Minister
of Justice or Attorney General.
In regard to the Legislature, it is under
stood it will be formed by appointment. The
upper house. to be called the Senate, and to
consist oftwenty-four members. will be ap-
pointed by the President, Vice-President and
Executive Council and will hold office fortwo
years. The lower house will consist OF forty
members and is to be appointed by the Exc
cutive Council, the Senator'S and Assembly,
men who have been agreed upon. They are
to be called together and the joint bodies will
promulgate a second constitution and fix
date for a general election Of the Government
officials.
Preparations for the constitutional conven-
ton are being made The election for dele
gates is to take glace on May 2. The regis
tration of voters for this election is now pro-
ceeding, but has been very slow, only SAT
having taken the oath necessary to qualify
them as electors. OF these the great majority
are whites and Portuguese. the natives being
kept from registration by their leaders, who
are nearly all Royalists.
The American Union party although in
complete control Of politics, has met with
opposition from the planters on the islands
of Maui and Hawaii, who employ Asiatic
labor. The Union party has also begun the
warfare against the japanese obtaining tho
franchise.
News has reached the island that the United
States has decided to improve Pearl Harbor
with the intention of establishing a coaling
station there. The fact that Admiral Irwin
is at present at Pearl Harbor with 'his aides
taking soundings and making surveys lends
color to the report. This is his second visit
on the same mission in six weeks.

The German Government Anxious to Clothe It's Army
in Qualified Armor.
Experts in military affairs throughout Eu
rope are discussing the recent experiments
made with the bullet-proof coat invented by
Herr Dove, the Mannheim tailor. There
seems to be no longer any doubt that Doves
invention is valuable one. The Russian
Ambassador, Count Won Schouvaloff, at the
Russian Embassy on Sunday last fired two
shots at the tailor while the latter was en-
cased in his bullet-proof coat, and as Dove
sustained absolutely no injury the Russian
Ambassador pronounced himself satisfied
with the experiment.
Representatives Of several foreign govern
ments have been making strong efforts to OBJ
tain Herr Doves secret, but it is said that
these efforts have failed. 1t is said that
5000 900 marks have been offered to Herr
Dove by the German Government for his in
yention: or as an alternative 100 years guar
antee of the monopoly Of supplying the Ger
man Government.

THE OLD HOME.
BY j. f. HOWARD.

The old home is deserted,
It's walks are covered DER
With groensward and with Wild weeds
They ne'er did wear befOrei
And ncttlcs now arc growing
Along the yellow brook,
But still it ripples down the rocks,
With Old-time spray and look.
The spring is clear and cool,
Tho trout swims as of yOro,
Or, with a CLINT, beneath the rocks
Is lost as heretofore
The dove its wings has folded,
No dog sleeps in the barni
A stiffness, like the morning watch"
Has settled DER the farm.
And thus the home deserted,
rs walks all covered DER
With greensward and with wild weeds,

Portland's police ring has taken a
solemn warning by the fate OF Tammany,
and has heroically made an attempt to
stop gambling, and to show the good
citizens that no vices of this kind can
exist in that city. They arrested man
named McGrath, and convicted him too
of throwing dice in a saloon. The fact
that several big faro games are running
steadily in the city, seems never to have
been suspected by the innocent police !;
but if they ever find it out-they won't
let anybody know it. 1t might hurt the
good name of the city, and at the same
time cut off q splendid source of revenue.

UTAH TO DECIDE.

The latest proposition concerning the
organizing of the next senate is contained
in dispatch from Washington yester-
day, which is as follows:
"a point that has been overlooked in
computing the political complexion of
the next senate is the admission of Utah
with two senators. The act of the last
session of congress admitting Utah pro-
vides that in March, 1895, the constitu-
first Tuesday after the first Monday of
that year the constitution is to be sub
mitted to the-people, and if ratified and
found by the president to be in accord
ance with the act, he will issue a
proclamation admitting it as a state.
The act also provides that representa-
tive to the 54th congress shall be elected
at the time the vote is taken upon the
constitution; also state officers and a
legislature shall be chosen, and that, if
the constitution is ratified, the legisla-
ture shall Immediately meet and elect
two United States senators. AS there
is about a month from the time the
election is held until the 54th con-
gress meets, there will be ample time to
have all the formalities complied with
and Utah proclaimed as state in time
for its senators and representative to
participate in the organization of the
next congress. This. would make in all
ninety senators, and as the next senate
now stands, the politics of the Utah
senators would cut an important figure.
"Another probability which arises is
the admission of both New Mexico and
Arizona, which may be accomplished in
time SO that four more senators would
participate on the organization of the
next senate. Bills have already passed
the house for the admission of both
these territories. The senate committee
on territories has reported them favor
ably to the senate, and they are now on
the calendar. Senators of both parties
have been urging their passage. 1t is
therefore quite likely that the battle fol
the control of the senate will yet be
fought out in Utah, New Mexio and Ari-
zona next year. The admission of these
new states would make total of "a SEN
ators, and any party, to control, would
need 49 for majority. With the vice.
president the democrats could coutrol
the senate with Al senator's"

And they killed whom they pleased throughout
the land,
Sing heigh, my boy, sing no!
But the giants didn't have things their
own way when Jack-the- -Giant-killer ar
