Constitution Proposed For the
New Federation.
SUBMITTED TO THE I'EOt
'IE.
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.

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."
