If Ratified It Oob to the English Parlia ment, After approved tn Qasen Ap points the OoTersor-Oeoeral San Francisco, May 15. Aus tralian advices, per steamship Ala meda, give a synopsis of the draft of a constitution for the proposed federation of the Australian colo nies, which was prepared by a convention that closed its sittings on April ninth. The constitution will be submitted to a vote of the people. aud.when accepted by the three colonies as it stands, for they cannot amend it, it will be sent to the imperial parliament. If rati fied by that body, Queen Victoria will proclaim the day when the commonwealth of Australia is to be established, and will also ap point a governor general. On the latter's arrival the Australians will proceed to form a ministry, and elect a parliament. The con stitution provides that the federa tion shall be known as the com monwealth of Australia, and the colonies to be called states. The legislature to consist of a senate and house of representatives, to be called parliament, and shall be in session at least once every year. The governor general is to be ap pointed by the queen at a salary of not less than 10,000. The senate is composed of eight membets from each state, chosen by the houses of parliament of each state, and are to be chosen for six year., one-hall' of the mem bers to retire every three years. The president of the senate is to be, in all cases, entitled to a vote and when the vote is a tie, the question is to pane. Kepresenta tives are to be chosen by the peo ple of the several states, each state to have one representative for ev ery thirty thousand people, but the minimum number of represen tatives for each state to be four. The speaker is to be elected by the house and when a vote is a tie the speaker is to have the casting vote. The life of the house of representatives is three years. The powers of parliament in re gard to law makinic include tl-e regulation of trade, commerce and coinage, and in general all matters delegated to congress by the con stitution of the L nited States. The governor is to be advised by the executive council of ministers, not exceeding seven in number, who are to be members of the fed eral executive council, and the queen's ministers of state for the commonwealth. The ministers may sit in either house of parlia ment. The supreme court is to consist of a chief justice and not less than four other judges, all to be appointed by the parliament, and hold ollice during good behav ior. As soon as a uniform taritl has been imposed inter-colonial free trade is to prevail among the colonies. AFTER THE CHARLESTON, The Eainerelda Said to Ite in Tur ult, City ok Mexico, May 15. A dispatch received late las.t night from Acapulco says : "The Chil ian cruiser Esmeralda entered this port yesterday and sailed again to day. Several of her oflicers were as.iore, used the wires and made various inquiries regarding the ac tion of the United States, showing they were informed the cruiser Charleston had been sent in pur suit of the Itata. It is believed she steamed north to intercept the Itata and protect her, should the Charleston attempt to capture. The oflicers who came ashore were very reticent, but from one of the sailors it was learned they expect ed to sight the Itata and act as her convoy down the coast. The Ksmeralda has a numerous crew, and, in appearance, the are vet erans and will tight." The above dispatch is confirmed at the war department, Imtollicers are inclined to be reticent. An official said the cruiser was warn ed not to remain in port, as Mexi co was not harboring insurgent vessels, and did not not recognize any other government in Chili than that of Balmaceda. A Drain of Goltl. London, May 15. The Times believes that the Russian govern ment will withdraw 3,000,000 from London within the next month or two, and it is doubtful whether the Bank of England will be liable to draw that amount from America. Besides which, adds the Times, there is a strong probability of a partial failure of European crous. which wouia cause a drain of gold to America in the future. A Mysterious Affair.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN LIKELY TO BE TKOIBLE BE TWEEN THEM. The licceut Attempt Upon the Life of the Crarowltr Eaplalueil-The Mikado's IMguity. San Francisco, May 15. Among the passengers on the steamer Ala meda, which arrived yesterdav, was V. J. Ford, of New York, who has resided in Japan for the last four years. "In my opinion, said Mr. Furd, "the assassin who attempted.'the life of the czarowitz was not so much of an assassin as an over-' enthusiastic patriot. There is a great hatred between the Russians and the Japanese. The Russian church is the finest and tallest building in all Yoko honia. not even excepting the palace of the mikado. Situated on a considerama eminence, the church looks down and over the palace, a thing that is a capital crime in the Japanese code. Still the Russian consnl lives at tlie Russian church anil for the sake of international amity the thing has been tolerated though not condoned. Last fall the first Japanese parliament waB opened by the mikado in person. On the way from the imperial pal ace to the house of parliament the mikado had to pass the Russian church. There was a great throng of Russians and other foreigners assembled to witness tho imperial pageant. The Japanese were so outraged by the siuht of the hated Russians gathered high above their heads and looking down on the mikado that they roke all bounds and fairly iiiobb d the church, hurling stones and other missiles At the spectators at the windows. Their most sacred cus tom had been violated, and in their rage they acted like demons. The Russians defended themselves inlurii. They tore off tiles from the roof and used them as ui'ssiles. They did considerable execution, and in the mehc a great many more Japanese were killed and wounded than Huasians. Of course, this affair only widened the breach between the' Russians and the Japanese, in spite of the fact that the Kiissian government tooK no official uotice of the occurrence. But this attack on the czarowitz, following so closely upon the event of last fall, will surely brinu mat ter to a climax between the two governments, and there is little doubt in my mind that Russia will now demand indemnity and repar ation for the attack upon the Russian church and people." An Insane Woman's Deed. AisriN, Tex., May 15. Mrs. Headsheth, wife of a highly re spected citizen, attempted to poi son her whole family by putting rough on rats in the soup.

The latest re ports received bv the Japanese le gation here concerning the attack on the czarowitz is that he and Prince George were returning in. cognito from a place of amuse ment when they came in conflict with police oflicers, who asserted themselves too vigorously until the princes were revealed. The princes were without escort at the time. The slightness of the czaro witz's wound is explained by the lact that Japanese policemen use blunt swords. Ituuiors ef Fluanclal Trouble, London, May 15.

Til E GREAT NORTHERN. Over 300 Miles Shorter Than the Northern Pacific. Si'okank Fail. May 15. A special cot respondent of the Re view, detailed by that paper to inspect the country, traversed by the numerous surveys of the Great Northern road, and to learn the route to be followed by that road across the state, telegraphes that the road is now practically located from St. Psul to Puget Sound and that the board of directors have adopted all of the recommenda tions of Chief Engineer Stevens. From Chattaroy, north of Spokane the road will run down the Little Spokane to Coulee creek, and thence will ascend to the great plateau of the Big Bend, Irom there to Coulee City, Grand Cou lee. It will closely parallel the Central Washington, but running north of that line and gaining ad vantage by a close proximity to the best part of the grain belt, crossing the Grand Coulee, the road runs southwest to Moses Coulee, which it descends to the Columbia river, crossing that stream near Rock Island. It then runs north twelve miles to the Wenatchea river which stream it ascends for twenty-five miles. It then cuts across to the left fork of Nason creek, which it ascends to the summit, through Steven's pass ; at an elevation of 3300 feet it enters a two mile tunnel. On the western slope it descends Skyko mish and Snohomish rivers to Snohomish City, where it effects a junction with the Montana and Seattle, striking first tide water at Port Gardner and thence on to Seattle. It is claimed that this line will be 350 miles shorter than the Northern Pacific and have an ad vantage of six hours in grades and that it will carry through passen gers to the world's fair in 1893.
