POPULAR DEPUTY INSPECTOR OF
SCHOOL RETIRES.
A Change in the School Department
That Will Astonish the Teachers
Public Loses an Able Servant.

The resignation of John +. Scott
as Deputy Inspector General of Gov
ern'nent Schools will be among the
matters to be taken up and considered
at the regular session of the Board OF
Education this afternoon. The resig.
nation will be accepted.
Mr.. Scott's action is IA surprise to the
community. In him the public loses
very valuable and conservative Off.
cial, and the teachers an excellent
friend.
II = has carried on the duties of his
Off, i. with energy and has given spe-
cial attention to the school buildings
and property under his charge. Mr..
Scott has been connected with the
educational department since 1888,
serving as principal at Kapaa, Kauai,
and at Waianae, Oahu, each of which
places he won,as he has done in Homo
lulu, strong and faithful friends.
The classification of the teachers,
which occupied the attention of the
Commissioners during all of last
weeks meeting,and was then referred
to the Teachers Committee for their
consideration. will be reported back
tothe board this afternoon. The final
classification will be made this after
noon probably. Assistant teachers of
many years standing need not look
for much raise in salary.

LOCAL CAPITAL ORGANIZED FOR
ACTION.
viii Secures Franchise From the Next
Legislature-Success of the Project
Assured.

The internal transportation ia
cilities of Honolulu are to be increased
at no very distant date by the con-
struction of an electric railway sys-
TEN that will cause the Londoners
who enjoy dividends from Mr.. Payne's
bobtail cars to grow envious. A COM
pany composed of local business men
entirely has been quietly organized,
with paid up capital of $250,O00
pledged, and will be incorporated as
soon as some agents now on the
coast return home. Until then the
stockholders and promoters desire to
have their identity kept secret.
One branch of the new line is to run
to Waikiki and another to Punahou
and on through the valley to term
mus that has not yet been divulged
The Waikiki branch will run out
Queen street and along the beach
road, shortening the distance to the
park by nearly a mile. The Punahou
branch is to be laid on Thurston and
Wilder avenues. There was some talk
of utilizing Liliha street, but after
careful canvass of the field the pro-
moters have decided that it would not
pay.
The next Legislature will be asked
to grant franchise for the new road.
AS the company is composed entirely
of local business men, and only local
capital interested, it is believed that
a franchise can easily be secured.
There is such a crying need for a
decent street railway that the chances
| for securing franchise would be
good on the single plea of common
humanity.
The Stars information comes from
gentleman of business standing,
who says that the incorporation of
the company is assured. Some gentle
men who are heavily interested are
now in San Francisco looking into the
cost of equipment. AS soon as they
return and report, the detailed plans
of the company will be made public.
The preliminary survey of the road
will be made at once, and everything
will be put in readiness as soon as the
franchise can be secured.

JAPANESE IMMIGRATION.

Notwithstanding the fact the gen
eral impression prevails that the
japanese Government has shut off all
immigration of Japanese to the Ha-
waiian islands, until the present diff
ferences have been adjudicated, two
or three lots of Japanese contract Ia
borers are reported to be coming to
Honolulu very soon. The Kumamoto
Company expect 9s men and 23 women
within the next week or so. Another
japanese immigration firm report
about $50 contract laborers coming.
All of the companies have orders for
Japanese laborers, but it is difficult
to secure the men now, so the agents
say.

ATTEMPT TOBURN CHURCH
DASTARDLY WORK OF UNKNOWN
INCENDIARY.
Set Fire to the Hoomana Naauao's
New Building - Escape From De
struction Almost Miraculous.

dastardly attempt was made last
Tuesday night to burn down the new
Hoomana Naauao Church on Paul
Kanoa's property. A well-oiled pair
of trousers, discarded by one of the
painters after his days work, was set
on fire in a corner where there was
plenty of intlammable material, but
by some miraculous chance the fire
after consuming the trousers and
burning a small hole through the
floor was eXtinguished. The painters
on entering the church the next
morning found only the incinerated
trousers and the hole in the floor.
At first it was believed that the
blaze had been caused by spontaneous
combustion, but the evidence of the
incendiary's work soon became evil
dent. He had mounted to one of the
windows by means of wooden saw
horse, and failed both to close the
window and remove the horse. 1t was
by the merest chance that his well
laid plans failed to materialize, as the
interior of the church has just re-
ceived a fresh coat of paint, and the
oils and paints were still scattered
about.
The matter was reported to Marshal
Brown, and Detective Kappa set to
work on it. The detective is much
puzzled, as he has no clue, and cannot
even find a reasonable motive for such
a crime. The church has just been
erected at an expense of about $500,
and is very little in debt. The funds
were contributed by but few peo-
pie. The only motive that can be as
signed is spite. Even then the MEM
bers of the church are at loss to find
any one who could possibly harbor i'll
feelings against them.
