POLICE EXPECTED TROUBLE.
EJBCTAIENT CASE THAT LOOKED
FOREBODING.
August Herring Threatened to Stand on
What He Considered were His Rights.
Compromise Effected.

What the authorities expected might
result in considerable trouble has been
averted by an understanding which
was reached yesterday between August
Herring and the representatives of the
Honolulu Plantation company. Herr
ing agreed to permit Manager Low of
the Plantation to be placed in posses
sion of about an acre at Aiea. The
land in question has been in dispute
for some time. Recently, Low on be-
half of the plantation as given a writ
of possession by the court Deputy
Sheriff McGurn was directed last week
to place Low in possession of the land
on which Herring had it was claimed
been squatting.
Herring contended that he had right
to remain there. He claims about one
acre adjoining the land which Low re-
ceived from the court but on the land
in dispute Herring had planted several
crops. He maintained that he should be
permitted to take off these crops. Low
was not willing to permit this, unless
Herring made other concessions and as
Herring declared that he would not
permit anybody to deprive him of what
he considered to be his rights, the au'
thorities Were apprehensive that force
would have to be used to dispossesS
Herring of the land.
An amicable understanding was
reached however yesterday and Mr.
Herring is to be allowed a reasonable
time in which to remove his crops, al
though Mr.. Low will be placed in pos
session of the land today

SCHOOLS ARE REOPEMD
CHILDREN RESPOND TO CALL IN
LARGE NUMBERS.
Primary Grammar and High Schools
overrun with Pupils-still More Ex-
pected to Show up Tomorrow.

School books were opened and desks
allotted to pupils in all the schools OF
the territory this morning. of all grades
from the tots in the kindergarten to the
top grades in the grammar and high
schools
The response all over town was a
hearty one, several of the schools being
crowded to their limits and in the case
of the primary, grammar and High
Schools, Professor Scott stated this
morning that the incoming pupils had
outrun the capacity of the schools to re-
ceive them.
Even more pupils are generally ex-
pected tomorrow in most of the schools
there always being a certain number
delayed for the opening day on account
of the new shoes new clothes new dress
es not yet being in readiness.
Some of the schools that have only
two teachers, such as the KawaiahaO
school, which boasted over sixty would
be drinkers at that fount of knowledge
this morning, will be hard put to it to
find the necessary room and attention
tomorrow. The schools that have so far
reported on their attendance, make the
following showing; Kaahamanu, 376;
Kamoailiili, 30; Manoa. 40; Waikiki, 81;
Royal, 2S1; Emma, "a; Pahukama, 1856;
Kawaiahao, &c.
All around the demand for seats has
toverrun the estimates and threatens to
exceed the capacity in many places.
Everybody will be accommodated and
everything running smoothly however
| as soon as the reports are made and
the numbers averaged. There will be
! no danger of pupils not securing their
| rightful opportunity of education.
! The private schools were all well at
| tended. Kamehameha College, which
! opened up on Monday last has already
settled down to the regular curriculum
and is in full swing. St. Louis College
and st. Francis School were largely at
/ tended today. Manauolu Seminary ON
East Maui. of which Miss Mary Alex
ander is the principal one Of the oldest
schools on the islands is announced to
| open next week.
| The children today generally present
ed a spruce appearance. the tanned bare
| legs and feet of vacation time being
now decorously clothed in shoes and
| stockings and the well worn clothes OF
holiday playtime replaced by new garb.
| Clean hands and nails shining faces
| and we'll brushed hair were in evidence
for the first day inspection: even the
children of the poorest classes showing
the attempts of their parents to send
them to school in a fashion that would
enable them to hold up their heads with
their richer schoolmates.

SEIZED The ALICE K|NBALL
ACTION BROUGHT BEFORE JUDGE
ESTEE. 81
Charles DiviIbiss Claims to Have Been
Defrauded of Half Interest in the
Vessel.

Deputy United States Marshal E. r.
Henary this morning seized the schoon-
Ter Alice Kimball, on proceedings
brought by Tom Fitch in behalf OF
Charles Divilbiss, who claims that j.
Il. Taylor and w. G. Scott, the present
supposed owners, defrauded him out of
a half interest in the vessel, by a frau
duIent sale at Kahului.
After the Alice Kimball was wrecked
at Kahului she was bought by Divil-
bliss and Scott, it is claimed, for $125
and they proceeded to try and save
her. They spent $340 each and finally
got her afloat. Divilbiss says that It
was agreed that each owned half the
vessel and that the total was $500.
In July the half owner Scott pro-
ceeded to sell the whole vessel to Tay-
lor. says the libellant, contriving to
cheat and defraud Divilbiss out of his
half of the vessel. Taylor is now pre-
pairing to leave Honolulu with the yes
sci, with intent to defraud Divilbiss of
his rights, as the latter, and he asks
the court to order the vessel sold and
the proceeds divided according to law.
The Alice Kimball was owned by the
Wilder Steamship Company when
wrecked, 1t was thought at first that
she was a total loss. but after she had
been on the beach some time she was
fioated and sailed to Honolulu. She is
small schooner, of 12O tons.

TELEPHONES BURNED OUI.
KING STREET TELEPHONE CABLE
LOOSE.
People Who Answer Phones Get
The Rain and Touches Gable.

The telephone company was the vic
tim of an unusual accident this morn
ling, by reason of which many blocks
of its cable along King street was al
most torn loose. The accident was the
breaking loose of one stretch of the
cable at the Stockyards on King street.
The stretch of cable dropped to the
ground and Immediately ali along the
| line of King street between the poles
came lose and dropped more or less.
! The original accident is said to have
| been caused bv an electric light wire
burning through the support on which
the cable was suspended. The support
gave way this morning while some men
were at work adjusting lines in the
vicinity of the Stockyards fire.
The falling of the big cable was seen
by many people and caused something
of scare along King street. The
loosening of one end left all the rest
free to settle down and section after
section did so, the long line wriggling
like a snake. Some damage was done
to trees and the company will be put
to some expense hosting and tighten
inr the wires again.
| A force of the telephone company's
men is now at work repairing the cable
that fell this morning.
The trouble occurred during and
after the rainstorm this mornig. 1t is
supposed that the Hawaiian Electric
Tor government wire sagged down as
the rain wet it until it touched the
| telephone wire.
The result was that a number of tele-
phone bells about the city were rung,
and people who went to answer got
some shocks. The telephones that got
the worst of the current were imme-
dlately burned out.

SAMPSON A SICK MAN
WILL UROBABLY NOT APPEAR IN
COURT.
Navy Department is Steadily Taking
His Part in the Controversy-Ad-
miraI Howison VIII be Challenged.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., August 31.-
Admiral Schley's counsel will promptly
challenge Admiral HowiSon as a men,
ber of the Court of Inquiry upon the
assembling of that court on September
r. Admiral Schley is entirely dissa-
tisfied with the HOwison statement re-
garding his interview, and the Navy
Department having decided that, IN
view of the statement. Howison is COM
petent to sit on the Court of Inquiry,
Admiral Schley sees no other course
open to him than to challenge imme-
diately upon the formation of the court.
There is very certain to be hot fight
over the question of whether the, chal-
lenge shall be permitted to stand by
the court or not, but Admiral Schley
is confident he will win this important
point and that a new man will be APP
pointed as the third member of the
court.
1t has been practically decided by the
Navy Department that Admiral Samp-
son shall not be called to the witness
stand to give testimony during the trial
In his excited mental condition it is
| certain that If subjected to cross-exami-
nation he would break down or lose
control of himself in a way that would
work great injury to his case and tine
case of the Navy Department, which is
steadily taking his side. Reports ar
llNlnB IGBdIulIb kAuInlIdl OdInP-
sons physical and nervous condition
are extremely alarming, and it is doubt
full even If he cared to take the risk
| if he would be physically able to make
the journey to Washington to appear
personally upon the witness stand.
The present plan is to have the Court
of Inquiry issue a special commission
to members, probably Judge Advocate
Lemly and Admiral Benham, to visit
Admiral Sampson and take his deposi
| tion. This course, too. will meet with
objection on the part of Schley and his
| counsel, for the reason that 1t gives
them no opportunity for -examina
tion, which they greatly desire. 1t hai
been reported here today, too, that OF
account of the nervous condition OF
! Admiral Sampson the court will moi
commence its hearings on September L
| but will, after organization, take ar
! adjournment for three or four weeks
| II is feared by friends of Admra
| Sampson that even the knowledge tha
the court is in session will work upor
| his nervous system to such an extent al
| to do him very great harm, and tins
Navy Department will ak for an ad
! journment until he has at least partly
| recovered
LAKE SUNAPEE IN. H, August 81
! Unless all signs fall Admiral William
| T. Sampson has gone through his las
campaign. Those who have seen him fl
the last week say that he will never b,
able to appear before the coming cour
of inquiry in Washington. Admira
Sampson is a very sick man. All new
regarding the coming Schley inquiry 4
kept from him. His condition, 1t is sait
is so alarming that a shock might re
suit most seriously.

SAVED BY HUNGRY PIG
SWINE REPEATS FEAT OF RoME's
HISTORICAL GEESE.
UPSET Barrel Poi and the Noise Called
Watchman to- Schooner Concord
Where Fire Was in Progress.

A pack of geese saved Rome from
destruction centuries ago and a hungry
pig saved the island schooner Concord
from destruction by fire two nights ago.
Some of the sailors aboard the
schooner went back to the vessel at an
early hour Sunday morning, more or
less under the influence of liquor. In
stead Of taking the usual ships Ian
tern they used one of the side lights
TO go below into the forecastle. In
some manner, the lamp was upset and
the oil, spilling out, ignited a pile Of
clothes and rubbish. The men fell
asleep as soon as they got into their
hunks and, in consequence. me fire
burned within a few feet OF them with
out either of the sailors knowing the
dagger.
Andrew Kaanaana, boatman No. 100,
was at the boat landing but as some
sheds intervened between the landing
and the Waikiki side OF Brewers wharf
where the Concord was lying he did
not at first notice the smoke which be-
gan to pour out of the forecastle. Sud-
denly however, his attention was, dl-
rected to the vessel by a loud crash He
hurried TO the schooner thinking that
something unusual had happened and
discovered the cause on the poop deck.
A hungry piP had wandered about the
vessel and found one Of the poi barrels
from which he proceeded to eat his I'LL.
In his eaRer..ess, the animal upset the
barrel which went rolling and crashing
along the deck.
The same noise attracted the atten-
tion of the night watchman and both
the watchman and Andrew reached the
Concord within a few minutes of each
other. The watchman happened to
gaze forward and there discovered the
smoke coming out of the forecastle.
He raised the alarm Of fire and run
ming below woke the sleeping men. The
crowd then succeeded in eXtinguishing
the flames with the aid of fire bucket
brigade. The damage was slight. The
vessel will get away this afternoon for
Hawaii ports.

again and then he tried to arrest All

COLUMBIA BEATS CONSTITUTION.

COLUMBIA BEATS CONSTITUTION.
NEWPORT (R. -, August 31.-The
Columbia, splendidly handled. beat the
Constitution today four minutes and
nineteen second corrected time, over a
course of fifteen miles to windward and
back in the first trial race to select the
cup defender. The defeat was decisive,
and admirers of the Constitution are at
their wits end to make apologies and
excuses for her bad behavior. She was
fresh from the Herreshoff shipyard,
where her bottom was FURNISHED until
it glistened like 7late glass in the sun
lieht. Her sails fitted her admirably,
with the exception of the balloon jib
ttpsail, which she set on the homeward
reach. Thus she had no drawback to
act as a detriment to her speed.
