LIGHTS WE'RE OUT.

For nearly an hour and a half LAST
night the electric lights furnished by
the Hawaiian Electric Company on the
down town circuit in the vicinity OF
King and Fort streets were out. To
the stores which were open for Christ
mas customers the lack of illumination
meant a large monetary loss and Sc
rious inconvenience. Customers were
left in the stores to grope their way
out, and after waiting awhile for the
expected return of the current, the
merchants were compelled to close
their doors.
The electric company said that the
lights would be turned on in a few
minutes, and repeated the promise un-
til they were finally turned on after
nearly ninety minutes of waiting. The
moNing newspapers were forced u
close down their work, and as at this
season there Is a particularly heavy
rush on, the newspapers suffered
greatly. The electric company has
made excuses for many months past
whenever such breakdowns have oc.
CURED that they were unavoidable, an6
the management of the company has
grown choleIic when mention has beer
made of its miserable service. Wher
called up last night Just after the
lights went out. a voice came over the
telephone. apparently from some ons
attached to the electric company, say
ing that the machinery had been stop
( ped to be oiled. How long will Homo
lulans stand this wretched condition o
affairs?

At the meeting of the Commissioners
Of Public instruction held yesterday
morning there were few matters of
great Importance discussed. Superin-

confirmed; Miss Hildebrand van Deer
lin. to Makapala, in place of her sister,

commissioners to instruct the pupils of
all the public schools of Honolulu in

pointed at a specialists salary, which
is more than that ordinarily received

important moves on the part of the
Commissioners TO make the specialists s
faculty on a par with those of Main
land cities.
Z Miss Charlotte Beckwith of Kaahu-
manu- school, who recently sent in her
resignation, was given her discharge.
The board approved the action Of Su-
perintendent Atkinson in granting a
leave of absence 10 Mrs. Frasher prin-
cipal of Kaiulani school. it being ex-
plained that hss C. ther was seriously i'll
in San Francisco. 1t was decided that
upon new appropriation of the Leg
islature better accommodations should
be furnished the Pohakupuka school,
and a petition from South Kohala
school for the reopening of the school
at Kaalaea was referred to c. w. Bald
win, normal instructor for Hawaii, to
whom was also left the matter of leas-
ing the school land near Napoopoo.
An offer of the Bishop Estate for the
exchange of land at Waialua was re-
ferred to Superintendent Atkinson. II
was decided to instruct school agents
that leaves of absence should not bt
granted to teachers except in cases Of
sickness or other extreme necessity. Il
was also agreed that school should be
opened and closed at the same hour OF
closing and reopening days as on othe
days.

Asked Parliament How Many Had Been
Sent to Africa.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-A wide field
was covered in the House of Commons

cheaper postage with the United States
but Washington was not prepared TO
entertain the matter.
Lord Cranborne, Under Secretary for
the Foreign Office, said he regretted
that Canada was excluded from the
most favored nation treatment by Ger
many but explained that in the abb
sence of a commercial treaty between
Great Britain and Germany there was
no remedy at present.
Powell William, the former financial
secretary of the War Office, answering
a question, said 1S2, 160 horses and mules
had been landed in South Africa during
the war.
Timothy NJ. Healy's Interpolation as
