Inspector - General Townsend presented the application of Mr. Bumetto, empioyea rjy;tho Wnsu ington Feed Company, to bo giv en a position to teach bookkeep ing in tho Night School. Tho Board concluded that Mr. Light foot did not need any assistance at present. - Mr. Towneond then broached oue of his pet schemes to the Board. It is nothing more or less than the establishment of a class of teachers who desire to take a course of higher pedagogy. The scheme was prompted by the wish of a few teaohors to take up advanced studios. The courso would extend ovor three years and be entirely voluntary. The teachers would tako up certain studies and text books each year, which ho hud alroady mapped out, and at tho end of the year would havo to write a thesis of not less than 1000- or more than 3000 words on some one of the studies taken up. Thero would be no expense connaoted with the scheme as the teachers would pur chase their own books. It was proposed to give a diploma or cer tificate at the end of the three years' course, which would be of no real value to the owner except to show diligence and additional qualifications in tho higher methods of toaohiue whioh would be taken into account by the Board in assigning positions. It was proposed to start the first class within a week, and at the end of a year to start another, tho proposition being that each suo needing class should be taught by tho one before it. Thin would make a continuous system of one class of teaching. Ho thought tho schools at largo would reoeivo material benefit by the adoption of this system, as well as tho teachers themselves. Having ox plained his theory to the satisfaction of the Board Mr. Townsend said he hoped it would it endorsed by them. Such endorsement would have a good effect and act as a stimulant on tho toachers. If tho Board con cluded not to eudorse it, tho plan would be carried out by him as a private one. Minister Cooper thought favor ably of it, an did the other mom born, and with the understanding that tho dopartmout wus to bo put to no expense in the matter a motion to endorse it was carried. Inspector Townoond Raid he had been looking ovor tho books in his ofilco with a view to assist ing llev. Mr. Birnie's proposition to establish a traveling school library. Tho idea was to donato tho uflo of a library to a school for six mouths and then pass it on to anothor. He bad picked out about 35 volumes belonging to tho Board and requested per mission to neo them for the pur pose Grantod. Various applications and re- commendations for positions wero referred to tho Teaoher's Commit tee. President Cooper asked tho other two mombors of tho special committee Professor Alexander and Inspector Townsend to iu- vestiiznto certain charges of meddling, etc., against two tenchors if they wero ready to re port, saying for himself that he was ready to speak his mind on tho matter at once. It appearing that the balance of the committee was not ready yet, tho matter went over to next week. Louis Madaraz presented an application to bo made superin tendent of writing in the publio schools, which was placed on file, there being no such position to fill. 4 RKNTORRD TO DUTY. Reanlt of Lawyer macdonald'a Appeal tn President MaKlulcy. Lawyer S. J. Macdouald has scored a rather singular triumph on behalf of a client in trouble. It will bo remembered that a few months ago, when the U. S. S. Philadelphia's battalion was re turning to tho ship from shore drill, Oscar J. Jenson, a blue jaoket,was clandestinely indulging in a drink of soda water at tho boat landing, when a lioutonant with his sword struck the bottle nut of his hand. Jenson mado a hasty remark to tho effect that it was well for the officer that he had on his uniform, For that remark Jenson wns tried by Court-martial on tho charge of disrespect tomn officer. He was allowed counsel in the person of Mr. Macdonald, bnt be ing convicted notwithstanding was sentencod to one year's con finement in tho "brig." Admiral Beardslee exercised his preroga tive by reducing the term of im prisonment to six months. Mr. Macdonald was not satis fied with even this decree of clemonoy, but appealed directly to tho President of tho Unitod States in a letter, enolnHing a full statement of the caso on behalf of his client. President MoEinley, amidst the multitude of his great duties, found time to consider the case of the poor bluejackot caged away off in Honolulu. As f the result of his consideration, orders came by the steamerChina's mail to rostore Bluejaokot Jenson to , duty. Lawyer Macdonald in consequence feels tho weight of a plume in his hat.

It was close to 12 o'clock 'noon today, when tho papers wero com pleted in Mr. Hartwoll's ollico for proceedings by wrjt of manda mus to compel tho Hawaiian Gov erument to grant a registry under its flag to tho P. M. S. S. China. No further deliberations, since the conclusion reported yesterday, had been held by the Executive Council. , At Circuit Court chambors it was- loarned that 4lho writ, ad dressed to James B. Castle, Col lector General of "Customs, was signed by Judge Alfred Perry at 11:55 and at onco sent to the Mar phal for service. The writ is re turnable at "10 o'clock Monday.j A copy of tho order to snow cause was served on Collector General Castle at 1:30 p. m. by a mounted patrolman who went out to Wai kiki for the purpose. Tho writ sets forth that on July 2 the steamer China, being at Ben, and having a British register, and owned by the China Steamship Company, Limited, of London, was conveyed to petitioner, Geo. W. Mncfarlane, by bill of sale of that date. That thereupon, upon thoappli cation of petitioner to tho Hawai ian Consul in London, provisional register as a Hawaiian vessel was granted to the steamship China. That on August 5 petitioner surrendered to the British Consul General at San Francisco the former British register of the China, and caused said steamship to be put under the Hawaiian flig. That tho steamship is now at tiiis port under the Hawaiian Hug, and her ship articles aro proparnd acenrd ingly That on tho 11th of August po titioni'r mado application to Jas. B. Cuatlo, Collector-Gunerarof Customs, in writing and under oath for a permanent Hawaiian registry. That he is informed and bo- lieves that tho Collector Gonoral caused tho said steamship to bo measured and her tonnage accur ately ascertained, for tho purpose of tho desired registry, and had notified the Minister of Foreign Affairs of tho application, and that the Minister had as certained from Thos. Bain Walker, British Vice - Consul, that no legal impediment exists to a Hawaiian register for said fltoamship. It is not known whether tho Minister has commu nicated such information to tho Collector Gonoral, but petitioner submits that, as it is a statutory duty for him to do bo, tho in ference is that it has been done. That the Ministers of Foreign Affairs and of Finnnco have stated that a registry would not be grauted. The reasons givou are that tho Minister of Foreign Affairs had informed tho United States Minister that no registers to foreign built vessols would bo granted, and it is claimed by tho Minister of Foreign Affairs that tho petitioner is not tho bona fido owner of the steamship China. Tho writ concludes as follows: "That unless said steamship shall recnivo such lognl rogister the rights of her owners, insurers, freighters, and others may be seriously imperilled and irrepar ablo dumago may bo dono to thoso concorncd. "Whoroforo, tho petitioner res pectfully prays that an alternative writ of mandamus bo issued to said James B. Castlo, Collector Goneral of Customs, commanding him to rogistor said stoatnabip in his ofilco ns a Hawaiian vessel and to isHiio to tho petitioner on receipt of his bond a cortificato thoroof, or to show causa to tho enntrnry within throo days from thu service hereof and of this writ." Minister Cooper was leaving the Executive building nt 12:35 when a linckman reined up to him and presouted him with a letter. It was a notification from the attorney for Mr. Macfarlano that a petition for a writ of manda inus had been filod in tho Circuit Court. In the meauMmn a notice had been po-ited on th blackboard of the Hawaiian "'hotel dlHco, saying: "Tho sailing of the steamship China for Yokohama and Hong kong is indefinitely postponed." Mr. Macfarlano Baid yesterday afternoon that tho Government wns to be notified that it would bo held responsible in duo foim for all expenses incurred by detention of tho steamship China from and after that day. It is learned that the letter no tifying the Ministor of Foroign Affairs of tho potition for manda mus also notifies liira that Ah Government will bo held rospohfli blo for damngos. Messrs: H. Hackfold & Co., agents, .of the China," have also notified the Government that they will hold it responsible for dam ages accruing by detention of the steamship. r Cnpt. Seabury has also filed u protest for detention. , Minister .Cooper waB asked by a roporter if tho Government would have any objection to grant ing tho China registry providing the United States Government announced that it had no objec tiouH. He nnswored: "If tho Unitod States Govern ment inform us that the registry would not be considered a viola tion of our assurances in the mat ter wo should havo no objection to granting it." The law in tho case, on which the Government relies, is as fol lows: Chaptor.CO, Section- 988 of tho Civil Code, which reads: "No vessel shall be entitled to register in this Republic, or to be deemed a Hawaiian vessel, and entitled to the privileges apper taining thereto, unless such vessel be wholly owned by a citizen or citizens of this Republic; provided, howover, that any vessel fitted out for tho prosecution of the whale or seal fishery, may bo registered in tho name of any part owner of such vessel, actually domiciled in this Republic, whothor a citizen or not." Sections 1000 and 1001, of tho same chapter, provido for the method of acquiring a register for a foreign vessel. The first say h: "Upon application being mado for the registry of any foroigu bmlt vessel, unless such vessel eh.ill have been sold under u judi cial decree of somo court of this Ropublio, tho Collector-General shall notify tho Minister of For eign Affairs of suoli application; and it shall be tho duty of said Minister to inquire, officially, 'of tho accredited representative, or Consul, if such thoro be in this Republic, of tho nation to which said' vessol belongs, whether any legal impediment exists to hor re gistry; and upon roceipt of a re ply, he shall communicato tho mime to tho Colleotor-Gouoral, for his guidance" Section 1001 says: "Tho Colloclor-Goueral shall, upon uscortitiuing tho tonnage of' any vessel intended to be register ed, and being satisfied that no legal impediment exists to her rogistry, proceed to rogister tho sumo in his office, as a Hawaiian vessel, and shall issue to the ap plicant therefor a certificate of uch registry in tho following form, etc" .LETTER FUOM MR. MACPARLANB. Tho following communication explains itself: Editor Evenino Bulletin: Having road somo so-called intor viows with myself concerning tho steamship China, published in somo of tho Honolulu newspapers, I desire to Bay that I have rigidly rofraiued from making any Btate monts, whatsoever, upon tho sub ject, furthor than to mention tho facts which now appear to be well known, that n provisional register had been granted to thu China by tho Consul Goneral in London on the 2d of July last be fore he had receivod thodireclion from the Hawaiian Foreign Ollico to grant no moro provisional registers, whioh direction was re ceived July 9. It appears that an nruraucn had been given at the end of Juno to'tho United Stntcs Minister'an the subject, nud 1 remarked that it was a' technicil pii..t whether such nssuriince, nutil rommunieat 'ed lo the couniiU abioid, cuniu ne regarded as haviugn-iy ffTect. It may bo proper alio to say that I have not consented to any valuation of the steamer ni n basis for the stomp duty required, and also that I have used no such ex pressions as havo been published to tho effect that "the vessel should not turn a wheel until a perma nent register is obtained," nor have I "declared with much gUBto" that "I should insist upon a per manent register before tho vessel left port." All my discussions upon tho subject have been with my counsel and with the; Cabinet Ministers. . '"jwj', Capt. Seabury desirai.mQ to. also deny that he has made any of ' the statements attributed, lo him. G. W. Mauvaiilanf.. AT TI1C OPERA BOUSK. Good Andlrnce to Wltnea ilia frnmanre or-Miart'a Ulrl." Par- There was a much better audi- once than usual at tho4 Opera House last night and thojfrequent applause brought forth showed that the rendition of the comedy of "Dad's Girl" was a satisfactory one. MisB Ratio Putnam in- the character of Mulviua lluokiua shono to even better advantage than usual, the strong scenes in the play giving her more scopo for the display of dramntio abili ty. The climax of the third act was an especially strong one and. in this oliss l'utnam showed more dramatic force than somo of her frionds credited her with. A call before the curtain nt tho end of this net testified tho appreciation of the audience. H. B. Emery made the most of "Dear Old Dad," a part moro suited to him than some others ho has essayed. The other mombors of company all appeared to hotter advantage than usual, tho sub erdinate characters having moro scopo to show their ability than in most of Miss Putnam's plays. On Saturday night a dramatiza tion of Charles Dickens' "Old Curiosity Shop" will be produced. Miss Pntnam will appear as Littlo Nell and the Marchioness, two distinctively different characters. As the Marchioness, she will sing and danco and play the baujo. Mr. Emery will play Dick Swivo ler. At the matineo tho play will bo "Fauchon." Senators F. T. Dubois of Idaho and Frank Cannon of TJtcb, who wero expected to stop in Hono lulu on thoir way to Japan, wont by way of Vancouver, sailing on August 2. They will very likely return this way.
