OUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
1T is CONTINUALLY BEING
ENLARGED.
The New Works Expect to Be Able to
Furnish Light by the End
of December.

Inquiry at the offices of the electric
light company by a STAR reporter this
morning made him acquainted with
the fact that the work of setting the
immense boilers which are to furnish
the steam necessary to run the
dynamos and machinery connected
with the new plant is now going on
under the supervision of Architect
Ripley and Harrison Bros, the con-
tractors. The engines and dynamos
will be placed in position as soon as
possible afterwards. New poles are
being erected as rapidly as possible,
and the company hopes to be able to
furnish all the light needed by the end
of the year. All houses that have been
wired in time will, no doubt, be able to
illuminate on or before New Year
night. AS to the number of houses
that are being wired in readiness for
the new light, the reporter was referred
to W. w. Hall of the firm of E. O..
Hall & Son, and from him the follow
ing information was obtained:
"Messrs. f. O. Hall & Son have
recently completed the wiring of the
new Safe Deposit building for electric
lights, and have also placed in it a
system of electric bells connecting the
upper rooms with the entrance below
Since then the new Sailors Home has
been wired throughout by them under
the direction of Thos. Quinn, also the
new annex to the Queens Hospital.
"Among the residences already wired
by the same firm, and only awaiting
the current from the new station, are
those Of Hon. w. O. Smith, Mrs. T..
H. Hebron, Thos. w. Hebron, DR..
Pratt, Chief Justice Judd, Chas. M.
Cooke, T. May, and the stores of Goo
Kim and Hop Hong & Co. The town
residence of VIM. G.. Irwin, President
of the Hawaiian Electric Company, has
just been prepared for electric lights,
also those of S. N. Castle, H. Water
house and Henry Davis, all under the
direction Of the new electrician, Geo.
Carney, lately from New York. The
beautiful new Masonic Temple is all
ready for the electric current, also the
hall Of Harmony Lodge, The Hawaii
an Opera House, the old stone church
and the Kawaiahao seminary are only
waiting their torn for Mr.. Carney and
his crew to get to work within their
walls.
"a number of other residences are
on Mr. Canney's list and will receive
attention as soon as he can get around
to them.
sc. o. Hall & Son placed the cleo.

beautiful new Central Union Church

81 approve of that in theory, but
not in practice" replied Miss Knapp.
Imagine one of the ladies here being
assigned to do the water front at night"
and she went on to give vivid picture
of proving about the docks, hearing
of an opium seizure and going out in
a Whitehall boat into choppy sea
with half gale blowing and spray
leaping over the boat with whizz like
the stream out of fire hose, and then
shining up a rope ladder over the
side Of ship.
There was silence for few moments
after Miss Knapp's speech, and though
in the discussion that followed one
lady courageousy stated how she had
once boldly entered saloon to solicit
a subscription, there was a general
feeling among the members that the
water front detail is not one to be GOV
eted by the fair sex.-CaH

ter to Captain Stott.

The Miowera's Passengers Write Let
ter to Captain Stott.
The following is letter of thanks
and sympathy from the passengers of
the Miowera to Captain James Stott of
that steamer. Those whose names are
appended met the captain at the office
of Theo. Fl. Davies & Co. at ago P.
NJ, when the letter was presented.
To Captain Jas. Stott, and the Of
fceys of the r. M. S. Miozoera,
care of Theo. H. DaVies g. Co.,
Honolulu.
All the undersigned, passengers Of
the S. S. Miowera, from Sydney bound
for Vancouver, ask you to accept our
sincere sympathy in connection with
the stranding of said vessel at this
port, and at the same time desire to
express our united thanks for the
courtesy and kindness we have received
at your hands FROM the time of our en-
barkation up to the present time. We
much regret the sudden and unexpected
termination of the pleasant associations
of the voyage, and trust further than
the unavoidable anxiety and incon-
venient incidence to the misfortune,
nothing will arise that will be apprecl-
ably to your disadvantage.
Through you we would also tender
our sympathy to the Canadian
Australian Steamship line, which we
consider has, through its agents here,
Messrs. Theo. Davis & Company, done
the very best, under the circumstances,
for all concerned, and extended to us
unusual generosity and consideration
in providing for us the best of accom-
mediation at Honolulu during our
enforced detention, free of charge,
and availing the first suitable means OF
transportation to our various destina-
tons. We think the said company has
met US fairly and satisfied any claims
that we may have had on them.
Wishing you every success and hop
ing that abundant prosperity may at
tend the worthy efforts and enterprise
of the Canadian Australian line, we are
gentlemen, Yours very sincerely.
(Signed by all the passengers.)

NO FLAG OF TRUCE rs UP.
THE COMPROMISE YARN DOES
NOT GO.
Acting President Hatch Denies Royal
ist Tale-TheD Commonwealth
Discussed.

1t appears that the idea of an Ha-
waian Commonwealth has not been
seriously considered by the Ministry,
though it has been discussed among
our friends at Washington. In the
cautiously worded projection of the
plan in the STAR, was the first instance
that some members of the Government
had heard of it. Others had from
time to time given their ears to such a
proposal, but had not committed them
selves pro or con- One or two had
been favorable.
On the streets there has been much
diverse discussion among the Annex
ationists, with a tendency to believe
that nothing of the kind is contem
plated One or two lawyers we're said
to have prepared opinions on the sub
ject, by request, but these, when visited,
denied any knowledge of the matter.
Last nights Holomna had curious
and circumstantial story about plan
of political compromise by which a
Commonwealth could be organized and
a new cabinet formed with Paul Neu-
mann and Godfrey Brown as members
1t said that the Provisional authorities
were ready to divide up the offices and
enter upon an era of good feeling under
the republican administrative form.
Naturally, the ex-Queen's organ made
a violent objection to this procedure, in
which it was We'd with by the younger
members OF the Annexation club
Is there anything at all in this
compromise idea ?" was question
which STAR reporter put to President
Hatch this morning,
"There is not thing It's absurd"
"May we quote you as saying sol"
81 don't like to rush into print,
said the Acting President of the Ha-
waiian Government, "but you may say
for me that the story is pure inven-
ton. No one in the Government has
ever thought of such compromise
Deny it utterly and you will hit the
nail on the head"
"What about Commonwealth
"That matter, so far as | know, has
not been formally discussed by the
Cabinet"

POLICE COURT MATTERS.
Convicted of Selling Swipes-The
Charge Against Xavier Dismissed.

In that sacred and sequestered
bower" in which District Judge Robert
son holds daily seances with various
specimens of the criminal element of
the city of Honolulu, there appeared
at 10 o'clock before the stern majesty
of the law one Kaauhau, charged with
selling liquor without license, The
liquor being of the description usually
denominated "swipes," chemical an
alysis by Prof. A. B. Lyons became
necessary to determine the amount of
alcohol it contained. In this instance
it was over E per cent, more than
enough to cause the Court to find the
defendant guilty. Judgment was re-
served till Friday, and Kaauhau is now
sitting on the anxious sent.
Mrs. J. Naone was the next to inter-
view the Court. She was charged with
the same ofense, pleaded not guilty,
and the Court will hear the testimony
concerning her this afternoon.
Ikeole, accused of assault and bat
terry, got respite till tomorrow.
The extortion charge made against
J. l.. Xavier, which has been continued
from time to time these many days,
was finally dismissed to-day and Xavier
is conespondingly happy
Not so is ID. w. Logana, police
officer, who is charged with extorting
| SIS from four Cinnamon by threats,
menaces and undue influence of power.
His case was put off until Thursday.

plants from Florida, which were ex-

samples were obtained from this lot for
the nursery.
