The' constitution a It now stands provides, in sections 1 and 2 of arti cle 17, that -constitutional amend ments may be proposed by the legis lature, but the proposed amendments must be approved by two successive sessions of the legislature and be adopted by a majority of the voters voting at the general election. : While one amendment Is pending before the legislature or before the people another cannot be proposed. It Is now desired hy some to change the constitution In this respect, so that a proposed amendment need be approved by but one session of the Irelsiatiire and may be adopted by a majority of all the voters voting upon that measure, although not a majority of all voting at the election. There Is no express provision In the constitution authorizing the legisla ture to call a constitutional conven tion, but the legislature has that power as the legislative branch of the government. The proposed amendment to the constitution places a limitation upon t'-e power of the legislature to call a convention by requiring that the act for that purpose must receive the ap proval of the people before It shall be come effective. Present Constitutional Provision. In order that the effect of the pro posed amendment may be understood the article which Is to be amended is here set forth In full, together with the amendment which will be voted upon In June. Article 17 reads as follows: Section 1. Any amendment or amendments to this constitution may be proposed In either branch of the legislative assembly, and If the same shall be agreed to by a majority of all the members elected to each of the two houses, such proposed amendment or amendments shall, with the yeas and nays thereon, be entered on their Journals, and referred to the legisla tive assembly to be chosen at the next general election; and If, In the legis lative assembly so next chosen, such proposed amendment or amendments shall be agreed to by a majorltw of all the members elected to each house, then It shall be the duty of the leg islative assembly to submit such amendment or amendments to the electors of the state and cause the same to be published without delay at least four consecutive weeks in several newspapers published In this slate; and if a majority of said elec tors shall ratify the same, such amendment or amendments shall be come a part of this constitution. i Sec. 2. If two or more amend ments shall be submitted at the same time they shall be submitted In such manner that the electors shall vote for or against each of such amend ments separately, and while an amendment or amendments which shall have been agreed upon by one legislative assembly shall be awaiting the action of a legislative assembly, or of the electors; no additional amendment or amendments shall be proposed. i Text of Proposed Amendment. The measure which will he voted upon In June proposes to combine the two sections of this artrde and make them read as fallows: Section 1. Any amendment or amendments to this constitution may be proposed In either branch of the legislative assembly, and If the same shall be agreed to bv a majority of all the -members elected to each of the two houses, such proposed amendment to amendments shall, with the yeas nnd nays thereon, be entered In their Journals and referred by the secretary of state to the peo ple for their npprovnl or rejection at the next regular general election, ex- cent when the legiHlatlve assembly shall order n special election for that purpose. If a majority of the electors voting on any such amendment shall vote In favor thereof. It shall thereby become a part of this constitution. The votes for and against such amendment or amendments, severally, whether pro posed by the legislative assembly or by Initiative setltlnn, shall .be - can vassed by the secretary of state in the nresence of the governor, and If shall appear to the governor that the maiorltv of the votes cast at said eiec- ttnn on said amendment or amend- Pathfinder" lias lleen Burled Sixteen Years. New York. May 9. The body of John C. Fremont, the first nominee of the Republican- party for president, and often called "The Pathfinder," lies In an unmarked grave In Rock land cemetery, a short distance from Nyack, N'. Y. , General Fremont died In this city in 1890. Shortly after his death the plot In which he now lies was purchased with the Intention of erecting upon the site a suitable monument to the man who was a plo nee In the exploration of the west, and who rendered distinguished ser vices In the Mexican wnr. A short time after the General's death a John C. Fremont association was formed and incorporated with the object of providing a monument and memorial. The design for the monu ment wns prepared and, It Is bellered, adopted by the association. With the exception of a bunch of flowers on Memorial Day, however, the last rest ing place of the old warrior and states man Is neglected. Around the grave of General Fremont are the graves of several distinguished men, including Commander Gorrlngs, who brought to this country "Cleopatra's Needle," now standing In Central Park, and Dr. Skene, a famous Brooklyn surgeon. le! iioroMonvE rngineers.
