THE CONSTITUTION AND CAN ms.
The motion OF the Rev. Canon
Ault was then brought up and
elected some few remarks, Mr.
Tesla objecting to the method Of
arriving at what was wanted in the
promises. As hs was not familiar
with the mode in vogue iu the
Synod, he felt that the course here
followed WAS either right or wrong.
He made suggestion as to the prac-
tice in the legislature. The follow
ing resolution was finally adopted,
Mr.. Test, registering his vote
against it:
Resolved, That until the consti-
tuition aud canons OF ons of the do
oeees of the. Protestant Episcopal
Church be selected by the Bishop
of the Missionary District Of Hawai-
for the administration. Of his juris-
diction, the constitute IN and canons
of the Anglican Church in Hawaii
shall remain in force together with
all statutes aud resolutions enacted
and unrepasled and passed by the
Synod OF the Anglican Church in
Hawaii 30 far as they do not conflict
with the constitution and canons OF
tho Protestant Episcopal Church in
the United States OF America to
which this church has promised
allegiance.
SO. That on the date at which the
bylaws adopted by this Synod &c
into effsct, the statute for regulat.
iug the appointment of the trustees
be repealed with the exception Of
Articles 6. 7, 8 and 9. which shall re-
main in force"
PENsIoNINa AN AGED PASTOR.
The motion OF Syno1sman E.
Stiles for the passage OF his resolu
tion to pension the Rev. S. Ell
Davis, tn, aged pastor OF Christ
church, South Kons, Hawaii, out o
funds in the hands OF the Bishop
collected and amassed by his owi
efforts and placed as an Endowmen
fund for his parish, came up for
consideration, the Rev. S. FL. Davis
retiring at this point. After ma1y
questions and suggestions, and ate
the third paragraph in the pream
BILE had been offered by Mr.. Test'
as an amendment aud accepted by
the mover, it was finally adopted
unanimously. Following is the re
solution:
Resolved, that whereas, the Rev
S. II. Davies, in consequence OF in
oreasing infrmity, has signified hi
desire of shortly retiring from thu
charge OF Christ Church, Kona
where he has, exercised his ministry
for nearly thirty years; and,

PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

The Rsv. G. I'll, Tomkns also pre-
seuted motion for a proposed
amendment to Article % OF the
Constitution, providing for the
facilitating Of business in the Synod.
While under consideration the
mover said that no reflection on the
Bishop was intended Whereupon
the Bishop explained that the
Synod was called in something OF
hurry, and that the clergy and
synodsmen were not given az long
notice. as might have been advisable.
He said that the drafts of the pro-
posed amended charter and bylaws
had not bean prepared ir time to
send copies around to all who we're
going to attend the Synod, other
wise much time might have been
saved during thA SESSIONS by pre-
vious knowledge OF what would be
brought up for consideration.
Synodsmsn Tesla thought there
was no need OF passing this pro-
posed amend msnt, as it would not
come iato effsot-till passed upon
at the next session, and also that
the change would soon take effect
and this amendment would be
lost.
After some few remarks upon it
by others, it was finally passed
upon, trusting to the future.
CLOSE OF SESSION.
Before the beginning Of business
in the early part Of the evening, the
Bishop stated that he had called a
for meeting of ths Trustees
Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock
to present to that body the new
charter that they might agree upon
petition to the Territorial treasur.
or to accompany toe charter for
approval by the authorities. He
said that it wss the general desire
that the Synod shouli bring the
present session to close on Mon
day night, 60 that the visiting clergy
could return to the other Islandi
on Tuesday. He also asked thai
those members of the Synod who
possessed any knowledge OF psrlia
mentary proceedings, should begin
to consider the form of a resolution
concerning the sdjouruing of tn;
Synod, so constructing the resolu
tiou that the Synod, should it be
come necessary, could meet again
1t would not be advisable for tn,
Synod to adjourn sine die, for Their
it would BIS necessary to hold an
other session. 1t might yet be ns.
ce.sary to further consider tho
charter or bylaws. The BishoE
wished that adjournment be made
in such a way that the Synod mi gh
be recalled, should OCCASION SO d.
maud.
Aud on motion adjournment was
taken at 1890 O'Clock with prayer
to O'Clock p, m. of Monday.

HARE TRUST BROKEN.

The Belgian hare craze is over in
Oregon and California. The San Deigo
Sun states that these much doomed
rabbits owing to their wonderful fecun-
dity can hardly be given away in Los
Angeles. 1t is the same here in San
Diego. Already many breeders are pre-
pairing to turn their rabbits loose on the
country, as they cannot sell them at
any price, and the fear has become gen
eral that if this is done the country
will be literally oVerrun within five
years. Supervisor Griffin reported that
one woman near Encinitas has 300
which she intends to liberate, and sew
eral other examples We're given. 1t APP
pears that the favOrite food of the Bel
gian hare is the tender bark of young
fruit trees, and if hares are not eXter-
minated the young fruit trees will be.
The supervisors therefore passed an Or
dinance compelling all owners of Bel
gian hares to keep the animals strictly
confined, fixing the penalty for turning
them loose at not less than $40 nor more
than $500.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL

SAN FRANCISCO, January IA re-
cent letter from William NJ. Merry,
United States Minister to Nicaragua,
now in Washington, addressed to the
San Francisco Chamber of Commerce,
contains the following pertinent para
graph:
"Our people should be reliably in
formed that it is no longer a question
of canal, but which canal? Shall it
be a canal managed by a French cor
poration, with high tolls, as at Suez,
to make dividends on an enormously
watered capital tolls which our people
must pay, or shall it be a canal owned
and managed by our Government, with
only enough toll charges to pay cost
of maintenance and a small sinking
fund? The difference will make mill
lions to our country annually, and 50
greatly affect Pacific coast interests
that the issue should be made plain to
the people of the Pacific coast"
The Chamber of Commerce has tele-
graphed TO Captain Merry asking him
if he cannot arrange to return to his
post by way of this city.

CONGER ABOUT 70 RESIGN
HIS AMOUR PROPER STUNG BY
CRITICISM.
Has Been Called Stupid" and Dull of
COMPLEMENTARY Ask for Leave
of Absence Soon.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-Min-
lister Conger, cut to the quick by the
criticisms on his conduct will ask soon
for leave of absence on the ground of
ill-health and upon. his return home
will resign.
This is the statement made today by
friends of the Minister to China.
He has been charged by the State
Department with dizziness of apprehen-
sion, lack of good judgment and with
having allowed his personal feelings to
blind him to the higher dictates of hui
mainly by insisting upon the imposing
Of impossible terms upon China and the
demand for the heads of the principals.
TO cap the climax, it has been given
out by the State Department that Mr..
COnger although frequently informed
as to the exact views of the Admins
tration, miscOnstrued his instructions
to strike out the word "irreVOca BILE"
from the demands and approved the
note with that word in it, thereby mis-
leading the British Minister and secur-
ing his signature to the document. The
note thus became an ultimatum deliver
ed to China-the very thing that the
Administration had desired to avoid.
Some very caustic comments have
been made by the officials here in
Washington about what they have not
hesitated to critiCise as Mr. Conger's
stupidity" and his friends have not
failed to keep him posted upon the cri-
ticisms that have emanated from high
places. The State Department now
plans to send out to Picking several
commissioners, who are to be experts
in fiscal and commercial matters, to
assist Mr.. Conger. His friends say
he Will not await their arrival.

come practically to the aid of the Uni

selves responsible for the last thou
sand dollars of the $50 600 debt which

the credit of the university of $1,000
While Bishop Hamilton was struggling
to secure the last subscriptions to the
liquidation fund he received a telegram
notifying him that the local Chinese
would assume that last thousand dol
lars. A representative of the Six Com
panies secured the cooperation of his
COuntrymen who subscribed the re-
qured amounts. Consul-General Ho
Vow has promised TO be responsible
for the amounts. DR.. f. d. Bovard and
John +. Gardiner, the assistant in Chi
ncse missionary work, have been in
strumental in awakening the Chinese
