RAPID TRANSIT TO PARALLEL
TRAM COMPANY.
Electric Road From Waikiki Turn to
Kamehameha School-Consent of
Executive Today.

The Rapid Transit Company will
parallel the lines of the Hawaiian
Tramways Company on King street
from Waikiki turn to Kamehameha
school, giving to that thoroughfare a
double line almost throughout It's
length. This was decided by the exc
cutive council this morning.
The concession was made on account
of the almost unanimous desire of all
the property holders and taxpayers
along the street. Already the company
has the track right of way between
Liliha street and Thomas square. one
of the new petitions asks for an ex-
tension from Victoria street to Waikiki
road, and the other asks for an extern
sion from Liliha street to Kameha-
meha. This fills out the two ends and
completes a parallel with the track of
the Tramways Company.
All the Rapid Transit Company has
now to do is to submit it's plans of
road to the executive for approval.
w. II. Castle was present and pre-
sented his side of the case regarding
swap of land on Tantalus something
over a year ago. The matter was TAX
en- under advisement
The meeting decided that the capitol
should be closed tomorrow on account
of it's being flag day. The Judiciary
building is left to do as it pleases. Most
of the offices over that side will close,
and the others will doubtless follow
suit. The day is not a legal holiday
and the capitol offices are closing in
formally.

WILL BE ESTABLISHED HERE
IMMEDIATELY
Civil Service Examiners Come Bearing
Welcome News to the People of Ho-
nolulu-No Particlars as Yet.

Honolulu is to have free postal de-
livery at once. This has been definitely
determined at Washington. William A.
Rodenberg, and his associate A. r.
Server, who arrived here on the Peking
To conduct examinations for the beneht
of those who wish to enter the gov
ernment service, said this morning that
just before leaving San Francisco, a
telegram came from Washington. bear
ing the news which will be most well
come to the people of this city that just
as soon as possible after July 1st. the
Postal Department at Washington
would take steps to inaugurate a free
carrier service in Honolulu. Just how
many men would be required, they did
not know. The details of the matter,
having been left to the local Office
These carriers will be chosen by a
competitive examination, which will en-
title those who make the required per
cent, to be employed by the government
either as postal clerks or as mail car
riers.
Such a system as proposed will prob
ably result in two or three sub-stations
being established, thus selecting the
handling of mail in one office as is now
the case. The plans of the postal de-
partment will result in quicker distri-
button and delivery of mail than Homo
lulu has ever known.
Some time after July 1st just how
soon has not been definitely determined
the civil semi-officials will conduct
civil service examinations for those
who wish to try them. Those who pass
will be eligible to appointment in the
immigration, the customs house and the
postal departments. There are some
forty positions. A clerk carriers eX-
animation will be held, which will en-
title those who pass satisfactory eX-
aminatiOns, to positions either as pos
tai clerks, or as carriers in the new
delivery system which is to be eStab-
lished here.
In addition to this work, ten, and
probably four examining boards will
be established throughout the territory
One will be here, and another will be at
Hilo. These have already been deter
mined upon. The location of the others
will depend upon the judgment of the
gentlemen who arrived this morning
These boards consist of three members
and conduct examinations from time
to time, as the different needs of the
service require.
There are also some twenty-five APP
pointments to be made, which will re-
suit in the appointees going to Wash
ington to reside permanently. Fifteen
of these are of clerical nature, ano
ten of them are mechanical, the APP
poiontees made under the latter sub
division being given places in the gov
ernment printing office.
The two civil service men will be in
the territory of Hawaii some six weeks
or more, and will make a thorough in
vestigation of conditions here, in order
to place their work on as practical a
working basis as possible.

THE HOUSE DISCUSSION THIS
MORNING
Favoritism in Arranging Pay is Talked
of BY Chief Kicker Emmeluth-How
He Worked in 'g3.

The House was late in meeting this
morning. II was nearly IL o'clock when
the gavel fell.
The committee on Education handed
in the following report, with list Of
names of the teachers of this Territory
and the salaries of the same:
Honolulu 4. H., June 13, 1901
The Hon. j. A. Akina, Speaker.
'Sir: With regard to the 1th item un-
der the head of Commissioner of Pub
lie Instruction, entitled Payroll, sup
port of schools, S600,O0O your commit
tee on Public Education beg leave to
present the following itemized list of
teachers i'm the employ of the Board of
Education and the salaries received by
each of them, per annum, which shows
how this amount is made up. Bu- ow-
ing TO the Irregularities of the appor-
tioning of the salaries among teachers
of apparently the same grade and the
appointing of assistants in the various
schools without regard to the number
OF pupils, as your committee finds it
on further inquiries, your committee
cannot but recommend that these diff
erent salaries be considered before this
sum is passed or amended"
Mossman said that there was a great
discrepancy in salaries. white teachers
being overpaid and native teachers, in
as many cases, underpaid
Emmeluth said that in 1898 while a
memDer OF the z. G.. he had, with Gov
ernor Dole and w. f. Allen, considered
the salaries of teachers. The two gen.
tlemen had been in favor of whitewash-
ing the whole thing but he took the
time to look into the state of affairs,
and found that one third of the teachers
were receiving two thirds of the sal
aries. The speaker cited an instance
where teacher who was paid S35
month is now being paid $125. Emme-
+, luth hinted that the increase had been
due to favoritism.
Mossman said he was in favor of
readjusting salaries. Native girls, who
make high percentages in their examm-
ations are being paid insignificant aal-
aries. Mossman told of one teacher
who was being paid a small salary he
fore election and is now getting 500 pei
month. The lady began teaching IN
1868, and it was only few months ago
that her increase in salary came. The
speaker had a list of teachers when he
said, would show that it was the haoes

BIG RAISE IN RATES
CHINESE MAKE A "MELICAN'
COBINATION.
Board of Health Rules Increase Cost of
Their Foods and They Take it Out of
Customers.

The Chinese laundrymen of the city
have become Americanized to the eX-
tent that they have formed a combi-
nation to advance prices to from fifty
to two hundred per cent, depending up
on the amount of business received by
the particular laundry and the location
of the house of the customer. 1t is
stated that the combine is as complete
as any other among "Melicans" in New
York, San Francisco or Honolulu.
The trouble started with the strike
of wash men some time ago. The wash
men stated that on account of the ad-
vance in Chinese food stuffs since the
plague they could not live on their sal
aries and demanded more money.
Prices were advanced by the action of
the Board of Health in shutting out
food from infected ports. This applied
to Canton Shanghai and Hongkong, the
principal purchasing points of local
Chinese. Since that order was promul-
gated but little food stuffs has come
through from China at all. the Mongols
having to buy in San Francisco ana
pay about three prices for what they
received.
The proprietors of the laundries gave
in to the washmen and consented to
pay them more. They then started a
project to collect the difference from
their customers. Monday morning the
laundries notified their customers of the
advance. In most cases the advance
ranged from fifty to one hundred per
cent. The highest advance reported
was by John Melanphy, turnkey at
the station house. He says he was
raised from 81 to $3.50, or more than
$50 per cent.

CHASEDBY FISH MONGERS
PRESIDENT JORDAN OBJECT OF
GREAT INTEREST.
Vendors at Fish Market Watch to Offer
Him All Sorts of Strange-Shaped
Fish.

President David Starr Jordan of
Stanford University is the most inter
esting person to the fish mongers OF all
the crowds who visit the public market.
They have caught on to the fact that he
is there for the purpose of securing pc
culiar fish. The result is that every
one goes rummaging over his stock of
fresh fish seeking for some monstrosity
to sell to President Jordan.
The distinguished cientist does not
purchase everything that is offered to
him by any means. He is himself an
expert on fish matters and, in addition,
he has secured the practical co-opera
tion of Market Inspector Berndt to aid
him in getting the varieties of fish that
are necessary to the collection the
United States Government is making.
Berndt has employed a special fisher
man for Dr. Jordans work. This fisher
man is a Portuguese and he under
stands the work required of him. He
will be reinforced shortly by Japan
ese. Together the pair expect TO catch
the remainder of the numerous varie-
ties which President Jordan seeks.
Mr. Berndt takes special pains TO Sc
| cure new fish for the party. Already
| fully a dozen with which President Jor-
dan was not familiar have been secured
by Mr.. Berndt The fish abounding In
these waters are said by President
Jordan to be remarkable for their
beauty and variety and when the COM
mission completes it's labors one or the
most complete collections secured in
tropical waters will probably be taken
away. President Jordan and his party
expect to remain here until the end of
September or October. His report has
to be in Washington however by De-
cpmber.

Germany, aged As, met terrible death
yesterday afternoon. He was engaged
in driving a cart drawn by a mule

Alakea street he started to whip the
animal, lost his balance and fell down
between the beast and his vehicle. The

fatal blow being in the stomach. In
a very few minutes the patrol wagon
arrived and took the injured man to
the hospital where he died an hour lat

MRS. MCKINLEY SAID TO HAVE
LITTLE CHANCE.
Physicians Almost Give Up Hope of
Her Recovery-A Slight Improve
ment the Latest Report.

CHICAGO, June A special to the
Tribune from Washington says There
is no doubt that the physicians have
almost given up hope that Mrs. Nc
Kinley will recover. They were with
her for more than an hour this morn
ing. Both DR.. Johnson and DR.. RiXey
refused to make a further statement
than the brief bulletin given out by
Secretary Cortelyou.
From other sources, however, it was
learned that Mrs. Mckinley had a long
period of unconsciousness last evening,
but this morning she was conscious. 1t
is said the lapse was not accompanied
by a serious sinking spell, but those
who are in touch with the sick room
do not disguise the fact that she can
not live much longer unless very de-
cided change for the better comes.
WASHINGTON, June Am spite of
the favorable tone of the official bulle-
tins, it must be admitted that Mrs. Nc
Kinleys condition is very serious. One
of the Presidents visitors said tonight
that it was conceded that Mrs. McKin-
ley was in a very grave condition.
There was hope of the outcome, he
said, but it was very slender hope.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-Dr. Rixey
made his usual nightly visit to the
White House shortly after 8 o'clock,
and remained about an hour and a
half. On leaving he said Mrs. Nc
1<inley is resting very comfortably
now. She has gained a great deal this
evening, but there is no marked change.
She is doing very we'll"
While the Improvement in Mrs Nc
Kinley's condition is slight the fact
that there had been no setback during
the day, but, on the contiAry slight
gain, was gratifying to the White
House household, and the President eX-
pressed his pleasure several times dur
ing the evening. In view, however, of
the gravity of the condition of the
stricken mistress of the White House,
too much significance is not attached
to the slight improvement shown. Both
ups and downs have marked the pro-
gress of her illness, and it is realized
that whatever gain or Improvement is
shown may prove but temporary.

cided to go back to, Honolulu to take

will still keep his job and continue in
the employ of the Board of Health at
the regular salary or whether the place

TUROT A PASSENGER ON THE
PEKING.
Max Schiller, a German Globe Trotter
and Author, Who is Making the Tour
Without Money, Also Arrives.

The city of Peking has among her
passengers, two men who are circum-
navigating the globe. Their methods
of travel are Numerically opposite.
One takes things as they come, i'm a
hit or miss, happy go lucky sort of
style, the other is straining every nerve
to girdle the earth in the shortest time
possible.
one of the tourists is II. Turot the
representative Of the Paris Journal. He
left Paris on May 24th and hopes to ar
rive in Paris on or before July 2jth,
thus travelling 25,000 miles in sixty days
or less This is his second trip around
rne world. Some ten years ago, he
made the same journey. At that time,
however, he was not attempting to
make a record. He crossed the Pacific
by way of Vancouver on his previous
trip. The would-be record beater eX-
poets to meet the man against whom
he is racing in Nladivostock. He also
is newspaper man, being sent out by
the Paris Matin. The journey will cost
Turot something like 5000 francs.
The other tourist on the Peking is
Max Schiller, from Coeslin, Germany,
who is touring the world on a Cleveland
bicycle. He has contracted to cover
the entire distance, using bicycle and
steamer only, and without touching
money. His object is to gather mate
rial concerning the relative hospitality
of the different notions among whom
he sojourns for the purpose of publish
ing a book.
The two men do not bear the slightest
resemblance to each other physically.
Turot is a large man, weighing over
200 pounds. He bears a strong resem-
blance to Dom Paul, excepting that he
has much more refined and intellec-
! tual face. Schiller is a thin wirey
man, with not an extra ounce of fat
on him. He is a typical athlete in APP
pearance, and his face is bronzed
through long exposure of the sun of
many climes.
