Proposed Changes in the Methods of
Collecting Duties.

WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has addressed circular to i'm
porters throughout the country, asking their
advice ON proposed changes in the tariff laws
from ad valorem to specific duties on i'm
ported goods. Mr.. Manning in his circular
says;
Investigations Of the methods of entry and ar.
praisement OF imported merchandise have shown
that the tariff laws are slargely eVaded by under
valuation wherever the duties are levied ad
valorem. remedy suggested for this evil is the
adoption Of specific duties. With a view of OBJ
useful to Congress inI fiscal legislation, and as an
aid In the Improvement of the custom revenue
system, it is deemed proper to ask the advice Of
arts of the country which may be affected by
tariff legislation, and which suffer more or less by
reason of defective methods of administration.
You are therefore requested to give your views
as to the feasibility OF simplifying the tariff and
making the duty specific so far as applicable to
imported articles, such as are made or produced
in the United States, in which you are interested
or which you are familiar with, with as full in
formation on the subject as you may be pleased to
submit.
The Secretary also requests that there be
furnished a schedule showing the rate of
specific duties which in the opinion of those
who sent replies should be levied upon the
various kinds and qualities of merchandise
Respondents are also requested to forward
such information as they may be able to sub
nit, showing the relative cost of manufac-
ture Of the said articles in the United States
and Europe, particularly with regard to the
cost Of labor as affected by the rate of wages
paid in the different countries; to state how
much the total cost of given unit of pro-
duction is increased in the United States
over Europe by reason of the difference in
wages paid and the rate Of interest on capi-
tai employed; also to what extent, within
their knowledge of the especial trade with
which their business is connected, the pres
ent laws imposing taxes on the imported
article have been evaded and how the same
can be corrected, whether by specific duties
or otherwise, and to what extent the home
industry, with which they are connected,
has suffered from this cause. They are in
vited to give the fullest expression of views
on the general subject indicated in such
manner and form as they deem best. Pub
licity will not be given the names, location
OF facts relating to the business of indi-
viduals or corporations. These, the Secre-
tary says, will be treated as private if SO
desired

is involved in its completion, Honolulu
must become the leading port in the
North Pacific. The question of laying
cable between Honolulu and San Fran
cisco is also likely to arise in this con-
nection, and the Legislature should be
prepared to take intelligent action upon
each when they comeup. As we have
said, however, We do not doubt the
ability of the voters to make suitable
selection of representatives with capacity
to deal with these and other questions as
they arise. We believe in the wisdom
OF the people as a rule, and think ma
jority is much less likely to err than a
minority, more especially if the minority
should chance to be the rump of once
potent, but now broken and routed party
like the so-called Independent Oppo-
sition" OF the Hawaiian Kingdom.

A Young Hawaiian Ensraver.

A young Hawaiian, Henry CRUDE, a
ward of Captain Marchant's, has just
completed very handsome piece of en-
craving. On kukui nut he has en-
graved a picture of His Majesty the
King, with crown on the head. Around
the crown is the inscription, F'Kalakaua
L, King of Hawaii" The work is clever
ly executed, and shows decided talent.
The tools used for this work were made
by CRUDE himself. The engraved nut
has been on exhibition in King Bros.
art store, but was taken away yesterday.
1t will be preseAted to His Majesty the
King by Mr.. Jaeger for CRUDE, as a
birthday present. The exceptional talent
displayed by this young Hawaiian sug-
gests the idea that he should be sent to
Europe by the Government, or by pri-
vate individuals who take pride in the
advancement of the native race, to OBJ
tain artistic training. This is case
which manifestly suggests such a course.
On the Pacific Coast, and in other parts
of America, young people of either sex
who display exceptional talent are
sent to Europe to have their
qualities in music or art perfected,
and similar course might with advan-
tage be adopted in the case of young
CRUDE. 1t would add lustre to the Ha-
waiian race if one of its members should

The late Ex-Governor Kanoa was born
at South Kona, Hawaii, in 1902 His
mothers name was Kepaa. When a
young man he gave great promise for
the future. He lived for a long time
with the late DR.. Judd, and was clerk to
Governor Kekuanoa, the father OF
Kamehamehas the Third and Fourth
He was appointed Governor of Kauai in
1S47, and held the position until May 10,
1877, when he resigned. When Lord
George Paulet came to the Islands in
1874, Ex-Governor Kanoa was sent to
Lahaina to fetch the King Kamehameha
the Third, who was staying at that place.
His son, the present Governor OF Kauai,
was one that accompanied him. The
Royal party returned to Honolulu by
way OF the Pail, having landed on the
other side OF this island. The deceased
was member of the House OF Mobiles
and Privy Council. The former position
he resigned in 1882, while he held the
latter at the time of his death. He was
Knight Commander of the Royal
Order OF Kamehameha l., and Grand
Officer of the Royal Order OF the Crown
of Hawaii. The Ex-Governor was twice
married. The uniform he wore on pub
lie occasions was that of his position as

THE REGATTA.

We congratulate the lovers OF aquatic
sport upon the happy termination OF
very unpleasant and unnecessary diff
Guilty among the boat clubs regarding the
approaching regatta. The Myrtle Club
applied for readmission to the Hawaiian
Rowing and Yachting Association, hav-
ing recOnsidered its act OF withdrawal
from that organization and its request
was received and assented TO in spirit
of friendly Cancellation which reflects
credit upon all concerned. Not only
were the Myrtles reinstated, but all ref
citation was expunged from the minutes,
as well as the resolution which led TO it,
There is therefore no room for caVil or
criticism. The public who subscribe
their money to provide suitable trophies
should be content, and we doubt not
there will be sufficient funds placed in
the hands of the Committee to insure the
financial success of the regatta, now that
the oarsmen agree to do their best in
manly rivalry upon that occasion. The
Myrtles have achieved lIurels in the
past it is the wish and hope Of their
friends that they may again bear off the
palm, but as their task will be more diff
cult this year than formerly, should
they prove the victors, their added hon
ors will be all the greater.
There is no bad feeling or unworthy
jealousy among the boating clubs, and
we therefore deprecate the attempt, by
our evening contemporary, to create dis
union and foment distrust. From the
very first the Bulletin" misrepre-
scented the Association, and if it were not
willfully blind it would perceive, from the
action taken by the Myrtle Club itself,
that its position is untenable. There
was no necessity whatever for pushing
matters to an extreme, and such would
never have happened if the Club had
not somehow drifted under the influence
of a single mind, which in this particu-
lar was of an imPracticable character.
Not only has the Myrtle Club been rein
stated in the Association, but an oppor-
tunity has been afforded the Kapio-
lani Club to }re.e2qnaider its action, and
the Association. OF course we .Is.zye
nothie to say regarding the business
grievance of our contemporary, but we
fancy it has only itself to blame for what
has occurred. We do not, however,
anticipate any very serious result from
it. The regatta will come off all the
same, and it win be as we'll attended,
weather permitting, whether the regatta
be advertised in our evening
contemporary or not. We trust, how
ever, that there will be an end of sys-
tematic mischief making in this matter.

ISOLATION.
A special meeufIg 81 the above Asso-
citation was held at IL O'Clock yesterday
morning at His Majesty's boathouse. A
letter was read from the Myrtle Boat
Club, asking to be re-instated in the As
ISOLATION. The request was unanimously
granted. The Kapiolani Club, which re-
signed at the same time as the Myrtles,
was given further opportunity to with
draw their letter of resignation, so that
they might participate in those races
only open to members of the Associa-
ton. A resolution was passed that the
minutes of the meeting which caused the
withdrawal of certain boat clubs be ex-
plunged from the records of the Associa-
ton. This action of the Association
shows that there was no ill-feeling in the
matter. The Regatta Committee re
ported progress to the meeting, which
then adjourned.

1t may be an interesting piece of local
news to state that Colonel Spreckels has
contributed a second thousand dollars to
the Kapiolani Home fund. His original
subscription of 81 900 was paid before Ieav-

Honolulu early this year; and upon learn
