Trade of tho Caroline Islands.


In view of the recent agitation as TO the lawful
ownership of the Caroline Islands, few points
from BJudStIeet's with reference to them will be
of interest. They are inhabited for the most part
by the aboriginal tribes, permanent colony hay
ing been established. The Vienna correspondent
of the London Economist writes that ." the white
book on the Colonial question which was presented
to the German Reichstag last session contained a
consular report entitled German Interests in the
South Pacific in which the political and Sconom-
ical condition of the Gilbert, Marshal, Carolines
Ellice and Tckelau Islands was examined. The
report explained that the Germans commerce in
those islands with the exception of Gilbert Islands,
is much more considerable than that of all other
countries put together. The trade consists chiefly
in bartering brandy, rifles, cotton goods and tools
for copra (cocoa). 1t is estimated that tho total
production of the latter in the Carolnes is 1900
tons, in which German trade is interested to the
extent of 1000 tons; that of the Marshal at 400
tons, of which 100 is taken by German firms,
while the share taken by German firms in the pro-
duction of coprH in the Gilbert Islands amounts
to only 400 tons out of 5000 tons. In that island
a Chinese firm from Sydney has the most extensive
business" Thus it appears that Spain has never
taken care of or exercised any authority over them
Her claims are founded merely on the discovery
of these islands by Spanish ships several centuries

Native Hawaiian MOrnOns.

Mr.. J. Alfred Magoon who is just from Salt
Lake City says that there are 20 Hawaiians in
that place. They live in good houses of stone or
brick, with spacious yards growing with fruit
trees, all of which they own. Their places are
well kept outside and in, and the neatness which
is displayed in their homes is of the higher order
and far greater than that to be seen in and about
most OF the white peoples residences there. In
their usual cordial manner they gave Mr.. Magoon
hearty welcome, and seemed delighted TO see
one from their Hawaiian home. Being asked if
they desired to return, they answered no, unless
1t should be upon necessary tour; that they were
happy and contented
From all indications they are the special charge
OF the Mormon Church and are treated we'll. The
men are constantly engaged as stone cutters on
the new temple at good wages. The women who
are equal in number~with the men, care for their
homes only, doing nd outside work. There are
none of them as yet polygamists in practice per-
haps from force of circumstances, yet as they sub
scribe strictly TO the Mormon creed they must be
polygamsts in principle. The church is especially
well pleased with them and man in very high
authority said they fare as good as any people
who come here" TheiE immediate superinten-
dent Mr.. Moyle says they are the best of work.
men; patient kind, respectful and industrious.
The former gentleman referred to, said they would
be only too glad to have more OF them, but the
Hawaiian laws prevented

Boating Matters

1.-The Honolulu Club has seemingly no ambition
to capture any of the prizes this year. Two crews
may be entered in the races but with little hopes
of winning.
The Myrtle ews take their rowing practice as
regularly as their meals. Both crews abiure early
morning exercise.
The Fenians" have not yet appeared, even in
practice, with their full crew. From private sources
it is learned that late practice time, around the

senior SIX over the course every evening in COM

of this senior six is in the neighborhood of twenty
five minutes.
The Myrtle boys intend enlarging their recep-

though two of the pastors were not present. The

complaint was made of the increase of drunken

the pastors and his people had been happily
alluded by the committee of conference, appointed
by the Association. Tue Young Peoples AssOcia-
