Honoluluan Writes of
Things of Interest
to Hawaii.
GIVES IMPRESSIONS ON
DETAILS AT EXPOSITION
Wm. G. Irwin Kicked on French
men Way of Judging Sugar
-Something About Ha
waiian Exhibit.
A letter from Paris, under date of
August 7 nnd which arrived In th
Hongkong Mam yesterday, contains
among other things, the following Im
pressions of a Honoluluan at tho Ex
position: "The Exposition Is said to be a fail
ure, pure and simple nnd I bellovc It
Is. Tho only thing that lives In your
memory nnd Is worth studying Is the
Beaux Arts. Tho buildings alone are
magnificent and the pictures aro really
grand. Franc cstands at the head !n
Art. Thcro Is no doubt that Prance In
tho mother and Mecca of all things ar
tistic. The Ruo des Nations Is Impos
ing but I nm sorry to say that the
American building Is a disappointment.

hibit. Tho Honorable Secretary show
ed us about. Thcro was not much
Bhowlng about to do for the wliolp
thing occupies about the length and
breadth of a ery small cottage veran
da. "Some of us Hawnllans went to a din
ner given for tho Cuban Commission
ers not long ngo. The one topic of con-
ersatlon mid tho cause of great amuse
ment war, the rejection of Cuban and
Hawaiian sugar by the Jury, after only
smelling It.
"The Cubans were furious but for
got their anger In laughing at Billy
Irwin's wrath. They said It was too
funny for anything. Ho raged nnd
stamped about nnd sworo ho would
hae a medal for his sugar In spite of
thoso d French Idiots who did
not known good sugar when they bow
It. Moreover, ho already had seven
medals and he was going to get an
other. "Tho Joke camo In when they asked
him to show what medals he had and
he was unable to produce them.
"Some of us have heard Mrs. Wood
ward (nee Graco Illchards) sing. She
has Improved very greatly and sings
exceedingly well. Her voice Is full and
very sweet and she sings Intelligently,
which Is more than most of them do. I
believe. Mrs. Woodward aspires to
Orand Opera."
Wnter Troubles Aired.
A quarrel over water rights between
two Kallhl natlvo women, was well
aired In the Pollco Court this forenoon.
The defendant was Wahlnc hou and the
who made no effort to dlsgulso her
feelings while on the witness Btaml.
She claimed that Wahlno hou went
Into her yard and cut her water pipe
with a hatchet.
It seems that, during the cholera
time, the locality In which tho two na
tive women live (maknl of Knmehame-
ha) furnished a goodly quota of vic
tims and, In order to furnish tho placo
with pure water, the trustees of the
Bishop Estato rrfn a plpo down from
one of tho nrtcslan wells.
Just recently Koleka has taken to
monopolizing tho water so that I he
residents makal, of which Wahlno hou
Is one, were deprived of their share,
Wnlilno hou remonstrated with Koleka
until sho became, thoroughly weary
with tho effort. Then sho took to the
lmtchet and hit tho pipe.
' She was arrested on tho chargo of
mallclous'injury but Judgo Wilcox dis
charged her, saying that there might
be grounds for a civil but not for a
criminal suit

PLENTY WILD STORIES
BUT NONE CONFIRMED
St. Petersburg Sends Out Story of De
feat of Allies Japan Seems
to Be Making New
Combinations.
New York, Aug. 29. A dispatch to
tho Trlbuno from London 'says: No
Information can be obtained here ot
various sensational stories telegraphed
to foreign capitals In reference to tho
Chinese question. There Is a report
from St. Petersburg that a battle has
taken place within tho walls of Peking
and that tho allies were compelled to
fall back, losing 1.S00 men. This
alarming story produced no effect on
the stock exchange or elsewhere be
cause It was not believed; nor Is thcro
anything to support the statement
cabled by a Washington correspondent
to a London newspaper that Russia
has Informed tho United States govern
ment that she proposes to annex Man
churia. But whether any such declaration
has actually been mado to any power,
not much doubt need be felt that it
merely embodies Russia's Intentions,
subject only to her ability to meet the
opposition which the annexation of
Manchuria would bo sure to encount
er from Japan. In fact, the process
has already begun, since Russia is
quietly assimilating Chinese, territory
south ot the Araoor river. In soma
quarters it Is thought that tho lauding
of Chinese troops at Amoy Is the Jap
anese answer to these muscovlte
moves.
The British consul at Shanghai has
been appealed to by the viceroy of Foo
Klen to prevent this aggression. The
Toklo government may possibly reply
to any protest by alleging that If tho
Integrity of China Is violated by Rus
sia In the north, Japan also Is entitled
to seek territorial acquisitions In tho
Celestial kingdom.
Some outspoken critics here are be
ginning to recognize that the outcome
of tho present crisis will eventually
be that slices of Chinese territory will
certainly pass Into possession or Rus
sia, Germany nnd Japan. Tho first
named will seize Manchuria on the
plea that China declared war and In
vaded Siberia: Germany will claim
Shan Tung as Indemnity for tho mur
der of Von Ketleler nnd Japan will
take Corea if she can get It, or, If not,
Amoy. What tho British policy will
bo In this event Is not known.
THE PFLUGER CONDEMNED
An Item In tho San Francisco Chron
Iclo ot August 29 announces tho judi
cial condemnation of tho German bark
J. C. Pfluger, one of tho clipper fleet of
II. Hackfold & Co., Ltd., of Honolulu.
Tho Item reads:
"United States District Judgo do Ha
ven yesterday ordered United States
Marshal Shlno to sell the German bark
J. C. Pfluger to satisfy a claim of tho
L. E. White Lumber Company. The
company furnished material for tho re
pairing of tho bark after she was dis
abled out of tho port San Diego. Tho
libel Instituted hero resulted in favor
of tho lumber company, but It has been
unable to collect from tho agentB of
tho owners of tho Pfluger."

In getting a turn around ono of tho

REGISTER TODAY,
NO RECORD OF EXPORTS
NOW MADE IN STATES
Very Unfortunate From Standpoint if
Statistician-Development of
Trade Following
Annex ition,
Washington, Aug. 24. Much desired
Information regarding tho commerco 'if
the United States with the Hawaiian
Islands will no longer bo forthcoming.
Tho recent act of Congress, which ex
tended to theso Islands practically o'l
the laws of the United States, Is con
strued ns rendering commerce la-two n
tho United Stntes and tho Islands
"coastwise" In Us character.
Tho laws with reference to tho gath
ering of statistics of our commerce re
quire Importers and exporters to (lie
with Collectors of Customs at tho ports
ot which their goods enter, or nt which
they leave the country, a specific state
ment of tho quantity and valuo of each
article Imported or exported. Tho law
docs not require, however, this detailed
Information with tcference to goods
passing from ono port to another or tho
United States. Taking advantage or
this condition the merchants ot San
Francisco who aro engaged in trado
with tho Hawaiian Islands, nre refusing
to furnish to the Collector nt that
olnt rcgnrdlng goods sent to or from
the Hawaiian Islands the general class
of Information which they hnvo been
turnl8hlng for years.
Tho effect of this will bo to deprive
the Bureau of Statistics and the people
of nil Information regarding commeuo
with tho Hawaiian Islands. No feature
of our Import and export trade has at
tracted so much attention during ths
past year as that with Hawaii. It v.ai
tho ono spot whero the effect of annex
ation upon commerce with territory an
nexed could be studied, since, In other
Territories brought into close rela
tions with tho United States, tho condi
tions wero not in our fnvor by roam
of tho war which 1ms existed previous
to or Immediately following tho new
relationship.
While tho growth of our comm'reo
with Porto Rico, Cuba nnd tho Philip
pines Islands has been very great, It
has been difficult to determine what
proportion of the growth of lomnicrco
with the United States may bo attribut
ed chiefly, is not wholly, to the cloto
relationship brought about by annex
ation nnd tho general business revival
which followed that event.
Tho growth of commerce with Ha
waii In the last fow years, especially In
1899 and 1900, has been phenomenal.
Tho treaty or annexation was signed
Juno IG, 1897, so that nil commerce of
the fiscal year 189S felt tho effect of
that step In the process of nnncxatlon.
In that year th cshlpment sto Hawaii
wero (5,907,155, nn Increase of 27 per
cent over 1897, when they amounted ti
$1,190,575. Tho treaty was ratified
July 7th and sovereignty over tho Isl
ands formally transferred to tho Unit
ed States August 12, 1898, thus bringing
practically all the fiscal year 1899 with
in tho period following complcto nn
ncxatlon. Shipments In tho fiscal vcar
1899 amounted to $9,305,470, nn lncrc&o
of over 50 per cent, and In 1900 to $13,
509,148. The Import sldo ot tho year 1S9S
showed on Increase or threo and n hair
millions over 1897, and 1900 showed an
other Increase or six nnd n half mil
lions oer 1898 and 1899. Tho Bureau
of Statistics announces that this will
bo Its last statement regarding Hawa
iian commerco unless tho San Francis
co merchants reconsider their action.
