Striking Statistics.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
These figures which we take from
the Wool Manufacturers Bulletin,
show the value of British exports of
cotton-yarns and cloths during diff
ferent periods of five years each:
To Brit To all 9TH
ish India err countries
Five years, lS7O4 -. &c, COO 93O5 $1,000
Five years, 1903. 76.S2OWO Z6l, 40 wy

Increased value of exports TO India t3O,Ol4,OOO
Decreased value to ali other coun- 1901, ooo
tries. ............... Zoooo'oN
So it seems free trade does not in
sure supremacy in the markets of the
world. For, except Its own provinces
of India, the foreign trade of England
in cotton goods shows steady de-
crease. Still more striking are the
statistics of the English silk trade.
The values of the imports of raw silk,
less the quantities re-expOrted, at all
English ports for the first year of each
of the last three decades, were:
1860 ..................... .......... 0f6. 1923
1880. .......... -. .... .............. 6SS3,31o
So much for thirty years of free
trade. Let us take English estimates
of thirty years of protection in Ameri-
ca. This country imported raw silk
for domestic manufacturers to the val
ues of 9Sl2,S7O in 1860, 81, $685. 5S in
1870 and G3, 1854, 400 in 1881. Thus we
find that the silk manufacture ofEng.
land has decreased by nearly one-half
during thirty years Of free trade, while
that Of America has increased about
threefold during thirty years of pro-
lection.

PERSONAL MENTION.

His Excellency Clarence w. Ashford,
Acknowledgement of the Hawaiian Gov
eminent, takes q short vacation and will
probably return in the Zealandia, unless
he should desire to go east, when he
may be absent two weeks longer.
George q. Beckley goes on a short
visit to meet his better half, with whom
he returns in the course of month.
Mr.. VIM. P. Jones returns to Boston
after very enjoyable stay and tour
through these Islands. What he has
not seen here is not worth seeing; and
what he does not know about business,
men and things here is not worth know
ing. About the Volcano, Pearl river,
sugar plantations and luaus, Parker is
the latest and best authority extant.
MIR. II. p. Wood and wife expect to be
absent about year. The trip is taken
on account of Mrs. Woods health.
Messrs. Schuyler and Allardt, to whom
we referred few days since, have ex-
amined the water supplies of Oahu, and
have reported very favorably on the pro-
jects in connection with this subject. 1t
is probable they may return here soon.
Mr.. j. M. Lydgate leaves for the
purpose OF continuing his studies, and
may be absent some years. We trust
he will find it to his interest to return
here.
Mr.. Edward Suhr, cashier OF the
firm of Messrs. Hackfeld & Co., returns to
the old country on a years leave of alb
sence. He is accompanied by Mr.. Ii.
Focke of the house of Messrs. Ed. Hof-
schlaeger & Co.
Several of our leading citizens returned
in the Australia, including Messrs. G. r.
Bishop, j. T. Warehouse Jr., Lowry,
Hopper, Ables, Gray, and others, all
looking as though they had enjoyed
their vacation, which doubtless they did.

The above named gentleman died at
his residence, Kinau street, near Piikoi,
at II 10 a. M Wednesday.
Several months ago deceased met with
an accident in fall by which he received
internal injuries that eliminated in can
Ger OF his kidneys which was the cause
OF his death. Mr.. Ncoll fingered about
seven months, and most of this period
he was confined to his house. His ulti-
mate recovery was scarcely looked for
during the past two or three months,
and he died respected by all who knew
him.
Deceased was native OF England, be-
ing born in Lancashire on Feb. I'd, 1854.
He arrived at Honolulu on Oct. 10Th,
1883, as chief engineer of the steamer
Planter, in which position he remained
until about four years ago, when he be-
came manager OF the store in Fort street
belonging to Mrs. Thos. Lack.
He was Junior Warden of Hawaiian
Lodge No. l. F. and A. NJ, and was al so
member of Excelsior Lodge No. l.
L. W. W Il = 11C Was 1SI SOTpOTdl III COLL

considerable time secretary of the Hawa-
ian Rife Association.
On Sept. 10th, 1885, he married Miss
Frances NJ. Lack who, with two chill
dren, survives him.
The ceremonies at the funeral of the
late c. H. Nicoll took place Thursday at

THE RECENT ANNEXATIONS.

The following is from Sydney ex-
change of Monday, August 9Th:
News reached Sydney on Saturday by
H. M. s. Rapid, from Somoa, of the an
nexation by the Imperial Government
OF the Union and Phoenix groups in the
South Pacific. The important event
took place early last month, being sue
cessfully performed by II. NJ. S. Egeria,
which, it will be remembered, left here
several months ago to survey the pro-
posed Pacific cable route. The British
flag was hoisted with all due ceremony
at eight different islands, and the group
mentioned were thus formally taken pos
session of by Captain Oldham, the COM
mander OF the Egeria, as representative
of Her Majesty the Queen. No opposi-
ton was met with, although it is reported
that the American flag was found to be
flying at several of the islands annexed.
The cause of the sudden annexation is
the proximity of the groups to the routes
proposed for the Pacific cable. The
Union and Phoenix groups, it is stated,
are most in line with the other is
lands north of the Equator annexed by
Great Britain last year. The Union
group is situated in lat. 1Odeg. south,
long. l65deg. west, and the Phoenix
group extends from lat. 3deg. Smin.
south to lat. 4deg. 3Omin. south and from
long. 16ldeg. Smin. 30sec. west to long
ia deg. 40min. west. The Union group
is fertile and populous. At Atafu, the
principle island Of the group, Messrs
Henderson and M'Farlane, of Auckland,
have a trading station. The Phoenix Is
lands are of coral formation. They con-
tain extensive guano deposits, which
are worked by Solomon Island laborers
employed by Messrs. Arundel Brothers,
of London.

EXPLANATION,

In several OF our San Francisco ex-
changes we observe statements that
Consul Severance was not received
here by the King. We will SIM
ply say that all such statements
are without foundation. Mr.. Sever
ance was most cordially received by
the King, who sent his band to sere-
made him at the hotel. The letter in the
Examiner, purporting to be from one of
the Kings household, is entirely false,
and was not sent by any one near the
King who is a personal friend of Mr..
Severance.

Saturdays Game.

A large attendance witnessed the
baseball match at Makiki on Saturday
afternoon between the Stars and Kaiu-

In which the Kaiulanis were easily de-
feated, making the eighth game lost by
them this season; the score being 10 to 4.
Holck made a two-base hit; Bruner and
Perry made a double play; Baldwin
struck out nine men and Holck four;
Chan. Wilder had two passed balls and
Perry four.

Maui Scenery.

Mr.. EDITOR: We often hear Kauai
spoken of as the Garden Island, and
great many persons no doubt think
that Island the fairest of the group,
when in reality its beauty is very
tame and insignificant when COM
pared to many of the others. 1t is
true that some of the places on this
Island (Maui) have but few attrac-
tions, still there are others that pos
sess such charms, that they may
without the least exaggeration, be
called the fairest spots OF earth. We
have sky which for clearness and
beauty surpasses the far famed skies
of Italy; the scenery equals the
wonders of Mexico, and vegetation
so luxuriant as to surpass anything
in the world
Among these sights are mountains
that ascend above the clouds, and
craters that sink into the depths of
the earth. There are gulches filled
with all kinds of tropical plants, pre-
senting a scene of wondrous beauty,
and there are scattered around, in
various places, every element of
grandeur.
The great attractions, however, are
the lao Valley and Haleakala, the
latter being so conspicuous as to be
placed among the great wonders of
the world; for here we find the
greatest extinct crater yet discovered,
and indeed it is supposed that within
its immense depths and circumfer
ence could be placed all the craters
of this group.
From the top of this mountain can
also be seen one of the grandest
sights that ever met the human eye,
for here at the early rosy morn can
be seen the refracted rays of the sun
tinting everything with a beauty
that surpasses the descriptive power
of man to portray Here we see the
great white clouds rolling in like the
pillows of mighty ocean, coming
in, pilling up, and covering it as with
crown of silvery beauty. From the
top can also be seen in every direc-
ton, innumerable sights and scenes
of beauty. Near the summit we find
the summer residence of Mr.. III. p.
Baldwin, who loves sometimes to
rise and rest at such an altitude as
eagles are said to delight in. This
resort Mr. B. kindly puts at the dis
posal of his friends when not in use
by himself or family, and it is great
boon, and has proved blessing to
many; for here the climate is so rare
and invigorating as to make one be
lieve he has passed into a new world.
Here the weak speedily grow strong,
and the old grow younger; the young
grow rosy and joyous, and all are
filled with delight and happiness.
Here we find the need of fires, and
two or three pairs of blankets, and
this at time when the people of |
Honolulu are almost melting with |
heat
Leaving this grand scene behind, |
we can travel to either East or West |
Maui, and find good roads, magnifi-
cent views and beauty at every step. |
Besides the natural scenery, there
are the beautiful residences of the
planters, and among them that of
MIR. II. p. Baldwin, at Haiku, and
Mr.. III. Morrison, at Spreckelsville.
We also note that these homes con-
tain most of the comforts and many
of the elegances of modern civiliza-
ton; and still more, among the resi-
dents are many evidences of culture,
refinement, and open-hearted hospi-
tality. TOURIST.
