A Highbinder Hoisted.

Jim Lu Chu On, Chinese, who has
been resident of these islands these
many years, and who should have known
better, made desperate attempt yester-
day morning to satisfy his personal re-
venge on the property and people con-
nected with Henry f. Poor by tying sack
partially filed with gunpowder (about
II pounds) to the trellis work of Mr..
Poor's dwelling house, on Emma street,
and exploding the same. The result of
the intention of Jim Chu On was that he
found himself a much burned and LAGER
ated Chinaman and most decidedly
placed "hors du combat while the
house was but little injured although the
inmates were much frightened. The
cause for the dastardly act is supposed
to be an insane idea of fancied injury
and it is matter of congratulation that
the attempt failed in its effect. The
Chinaman was placed in charge of the
police and has been since removed to
the Hospital.

A Merited Appointment.

1t is matter for congratulation that
the consular service of the United States
in this country has been 50 satisfactorily
conducted, there not having occurred,
for many years past, any known just
cause for complaint. The Department
at Washington, recognizing the able and
satisfactory manner in which the cleri-
cal work of the consulate here has been
performed, has seen fit to advance Mr..
Arthur Richardson, the present consular
clerk, to the position of Vice and Deputy
Consul-General of the United States, and
the official announcement Thereof will be
probably made to-day.
Mr.. Richardson received his appoint
ment as consular clerk in August, 1886,
and has served in that capacity under
Consuls Mckinley, Consul-General Put
nam and the present Consul-General,
HI. w. Severance, and has been highly
spoken of by all those gentlemen. He is
a general favorite with captains who
transact business with the consulate and
is respected and esteemed in this, COM
munity for his urbanity and gentlemanly

how much work they may have done to
extract little fun, il has been q holiday.
But the opening OF SCHOOL will not be
pleasant to most of them; the last two
months has changed their routine, and II
has all the disagreeableness OF q new
