plete the jury. Messrs. Kenney, Ma
COON, Achi and Richardson appearing

awaited with great deal of interest.

Claudine on Wednesday and returned
to Honolulu to-day.
Deputy Attorney General G. X.
Wilder and Mrs. Wilder are the guests
of Sheriff Chillingworth.
The general topic of conversation
since the arrival of the last mail
has been the plan of the
new constitution by the Execu.
tive Council. The prevailing opinion
is that the draft of this constitution re.
quires considerable amending and
changing before it would be satisfactory
to even the firm supporters of the late
revolution. But we trust that the con.
yention will fully recognize the import,
ance of preparing a constitution to suit
the peculiar situation of the day, and
one which should be as near the con.
stitution of the Great Republic as pos
sible; there will then be little doubt
that it will be adopted by large major.
ity when submitted to the vote of the
people, whose voice in matter of this
kind must at all times be supreme.
