OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

We have been making enquiries
about the public schools in and
around Honolulu and find the
number for the new scholastic year
somewhat larger than we had sup
posed. AS they have just opened, it
will be matter of interest to the
general public to know what these
schools are and who the various
teachers are.
There are two select schools under
the Board of Education, viz: Fort
street school and the Beretania
street primary school; all the others
are free. Fort street school has an
enrolment of about $50 scholars
under seven teachers. The prin-
cipal is Prof. M. M. Scott; vice prin-
cipal and teacher of languages, Mr..
A. V. Gear; assistants, Miss Brown,
Miss Winter, Miss n. Needham, Miss
Walker and Miss Courser. The
course of study extends from the
lowest primary to a high school
grade. The Beretania street school
has just been opened. It is for chill
dren under ten years of age. Miss
Duncan, a California teacher of
great experience, is in sole charge.
Foremost among the free Govern
ment schools stands the Royal
school, of which the Rev. A. Mack
intosh is principal, Mr.. Peck vice
principal, and the following ladies
assistants: Miss Nellie Brown, Miss
Taner, Miss A. Walker, Miss Brick
wood, Mrs. J. Brown, Miss Mist,
Miss n. Ladd, Miss K. Mcintyre
and Miss IL. Laid; total of eleven
teachers. The Royal school is only
for boys, of whom nearly 400 are en-
rolled.
The Pohukaina school is for girls
alone. Miss Corney is principal,
and she has for assistants Miss
Bernice Barnard, Miss Atkinson and
Miss A. Mossman, the latter being
substitute for Miss A. Dudoit, at
present absent on leave.
The Kauluwela school on School
street between Nuuanu and Liliha,
which has been open not quite one
year, has Mr.. G. III. White for prin-
cipal, and Mrs. Wood and Miss
White for assistants It numbers
about 140 scholars.
Taking the outskirts of the city,
there is a school at Moanalua under
Mrs. Hookano, native lady; one at
Kalihi-waena, close to the Kameha-
meha schools, of which Mr.. Gal
lagher is principal and Miss Leta
Wilder assistant. At KaIihi-uka is
a school in sole charge of Mr.. G..
Carson Kenyon. Miss Markham
teaches the school at Waikiki kai,
Miss Kate Lishman at Moiliili, Miss
r. Davidson at Manoa and Mr..
Cuelho has just commenced his
career as teacher at Marquesville.
At all these schools English is
taught, and the foundations of a
good practical education are being
laid.
Besides the above there are four
schools taught in the Hawaiian
language, viz: Kawaiahao, Kauma-
kapili, Roma wahine ION Fort street,
and Pauoa.
This makes a total of sixteen Gov
eminent schools in the district of
thirteen of which are free
with total of about 1900 scholars,
being larger number than has ever
before been reported in attendance.

OAHU COLLEGE
PunahOu Preparatory School
HONOLULU, H. I.
These Schools Open for the New Yeal
September 9, 1889.

The faculty of Oahu College will be the
same as last year. The Friend SAYS: 1--WE
THINK that there has never been an ADLER
faculty at Oahu College, or one better
adapted to impart high classical and
scientific education"
The Boarding Department can accom-
modate but few more than were in attend
ance last year, and all who desire to enter
should make an early application.
The Preparatory School continues under
the Principalship of Miss Malone: Miss
Carrie A. Gilman takes Miss Chamber
ialn's position, the latter having resigned
to remove to the United States.
The Trustees are happy to Announce
That, through the generous interest of a
TREND, they are erecting a fine new bniId-
ing and remodeling the present one. so
that this school will occupy new and com.
modious quarters in September. When
thus equipped We believe the Preparatorv
school will offer opportunities second to
none in the Kingdom. "

Boiling the Caucus.

The organization of the house was
attended by little circumstance
that shows the danger which will
constantly menace the majority
during the session. After Reed
had been elected Speaker, McPher-
SON Clerk; Holmes Sergsant-at-
Arms: Adams Doorkeeper and
Wheat Postmaster, Representative
Henderson, as chairman of the Re-
publican caucus, nominated Rev.
C. B. Ramsdall for Chaplain. Re-
preventative Cheadle OF Indiana,
boiling the caucus nomination.
moved to strike out the naEIe of
Mr.. Ramsdell and substitute that
OF DIR. Milburn, the blind preacher
who was Chaplain of the last House
Mr.. Cheadle was supported out
right by three republicans-Moore
of New Hampshire; Lehblack, OF
OF New Jersey, and Ewart OF North
Caioline-and enough refrained
from voting to elect DIR. Milburn
who received 166 votes to Mr..
Ramsdelps l55, the democrats vot-
ing solidly for Milburn. This is OF
itself small thing, but if the party
caucus can be successfully bolted
in small things, there is nothing to
prevent the same thing being done
when something important is at
stake.

"a SUGGESTION TO NATIONS.

A Partisan Frenchman has sug-
cested a rather good idea for the
coming war between France and
Germany.
His plan is to have each nation
select 100000 good fighting men
and no more. and then 60 into the
field for a square fight. There 10
considerable cold sense in this idea,
and it is simply following the rules
laid down by the Queesbury formu-
Ia when human beings battle for
purses; they get down to q certain
weight and go it.
With 100, 900 on a side, the rela-
tive fighting ability of the two
nations could he easily settled, and
after the war there would be enough
survivors Left to continue agricul-
tural and commercial pursuits, and
the nation would not be seriously
crippled either in blood or finance.
They might go further and divide
the nations of the earth into the
regular scale in vogue in the Cali
fornia athletic Club, and have
featherweights, light, middle and
heavy, as the case might be, and
then a nation could afford to ignore
the gatherings and frothings of any
nation outside its class.
For instance, let Russia, Eng
land, Germany and France be con-
sidered the heavyweights of the
Old World; Spain, Denmark and
Turkey middleweights; Belgium,
Greece and Italy lightweights, and
Switzerland and Sardinia the feath
erweights.
Let 100, 900 men be the fighting
weight of the heavies, $1,000 OF
the middles, 1000 of the lights
and %, 900 of the featherweights.
Allow no nation to 60 TO war with
any more than the quota allowed its
class, and have q regular lnterna-
ticnal referee to decide the issue,
and the nation which went into the
field with more troops than we're
allowed to be declared loser and
forfeit a fine OF about a million to
It's adversary.
OF course. on a scale OF this
kind Uncle Sam weuld occupy
much the position of John Sullivan
the boss OF the read, and only fight
tor very large stakes.
This plan would, we think, save
q great deal and result in less fight
ing, as the European powers are as
rule so cautious that they never
think Of fighting unless they have q
decided advantage.

Rowe came to the city few weeks ago from London to join a company under the management of Dr. Howard. They intended opening in Toronto in two weeks with "Little Emily" in which MT. Rowe was to play Micawber. He is best known to American audiences in that role, and it was mostly to revive that character that he came to America.

Tho Beach Strewn With Wreckago and
 Great Destruction Wrought.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 12.-The fury of the Coney Island waves has subsided but wreckage is strewn from one end of the island to the other, and driftwood is jammcd in massive piles in scores of places. All that is loft of quarter of a mile of the once pretty concourse is an irregular line of jagged blocks of concrete pavement.
 Although the Oriental Hotel stands on site higher than any other hotel on the Island the lawn and flower beds around. Chairs, benches and lamp posts are piled together in masses and the concrete walks undermined and sunken. The waves sifted through the rows of piles forming part of the bulk head and ten feet of lawn has been eaten away by the sea, leaving & yawn ing, jagged rift the entire length of the bulkhead.
 Manhattan Beach gr ounds are ruined The bulkhead has been broken asunder and great gaps have taken the place of the once smooth walks. There are scarcely ten feet of the concrete blocks left. They have been washed away or covered with sand or mud. All about the big building great holes have been made, and the cellar is flooded with four feet of water. All the fires were put out and the gas pipes flooded with water. In the back yard water stood three feetdeep. The great bathing pavilion to the left and in front of the hotel is total wreck. Tho music standl has been knocked out of shape. Portions of it arc two feet from the ground and all around it's base the sand was sunken and the ground broken. A canal three feet deep has been formed beneath. Great piles of driftwood from the bulkhead were piled around 1t and crushed in it's sides. On the beach between Manhatten Beach and Brighton Beach Hotels, the only strip of beach left there was a regular line of wreckage. To the west of Brighton Beach Hotel there Is an expanse of wreckage and de- bris one hundred yards long and fifty | wide.
 The elevated station Is beaten and broken and ready to fall. From Tom Kearns' Hotel to the tower tn C l Island Is desolate waste. The iron piers are damaged beyond use, and back of Herzbergt Hotel the scene of the wreck Is terri | ble.

 Banks Discovered.

The Season Very Late-New and Unknown
 Banks Discovered.
 GLOUCESTER, Mass, Sept 12.-Cap- tain John Marshall, who has just ro- turned from fishing voyage to Iceland in the schooner Landseer, brings some interesting and valuable data.
 The Landseer sailed from this port April 5 and arrived at Dyereflord April s6. No drift ice was seen on the pas sage which was something unusual. Another remarkable fact was that no ice was seen on that coast during the three months stay there, while during the three preceding seasons there were large quantities of heavy drift ice which impcded tho progress of fisherman in April and May.
 The Landseer sailed 12O miles fur ther to the northeast than American vessels ever fished before and discov- cred new fishing grounds off Skagas- trand. The bank discovered was from 5 to 6 miles wide and 14 miles long. The water from 35 to 50 feet deep and around it the sea was 800 fathonls deep. This bank is not laid down in the British Admiralty chart nor is any note made of it by the Dan- fish survey. The tide on that coast set eastward two-thirds of the time and when within 10 miles of land the com being presumably affected by some magnetic influences. In places, nota- bly in the vicinity of Faxafiord, Skagasirand, Bught, or Home Poin the compass would hardly work at all.
 The Landseer started home in August coming we'll to the northward within 75 miles of Cape Farnwell, but saw no ice until August 14th in latitude GA longitude 40. 30 when she passed 97 enormous bergs drifting southward, It was found here that the curre mt set continuously south and the vessel made % miles out of her course every day.
