.
The first thing that strikes one in
the table is the immense preponder-
ance of American interests as compar-
ed with all other nationalities put to-
gether. The American interests are
very nearly double the united inter-
ests of the other nationalities. Then
the Chinese, as far as value is con-
cerned, seem to exceed British and
German interests. But if we look
carefully the average to the British
man is very nearly $4,000 apiece,
while the Chinese average little ov-
er $500 apiece. The value of the ia
panese stock in trade is very small,
in the mass, though according to av-
erage for single concerns, very near
ly equal to the Chinese, the Japanese
average being about $l40O. AS trad
ers the Portuguese make very little
showing, and the Hawaiians are prac-
tically nowhere in such a table.
1t is somewhat interesting to see
where the japanese stand, in this
matter of trading, because we have
heard so much of late about the large
and which have to be carefully pro-
tected. Well, these mighty interests,
as far as the district of Honolulu is
concerned, amount to just two per
cent of the whole trading stock of the
district. They own no sugar planta-
tions and their interest in coffee is
very small. The numerical interest
of the japanese may be large, but
their investments are, up to the pres
ent, not large.
1t must be stated that out of log
American trading concerns 20 are cor
porations, and that out of the G
British are corporations. Of course
corporations do not necessarily belong
to one nationality, that is the stock
of an American corporation is not
necessarily owned by Americans
Thus the stock of Brewer & Co., which
is an American corporation, may be
owned partly by Hawaiians, British
or Germans, and the stock of the
Foundry, which is a British corpora
ton, may be owned in part by Anne
ricans or those of other nationality,
But this variation in ownership of
stock does not really affect the gener-
al result. The main point shown by
the figures is the immense American

Won TAUSCH ACQUITTED
NOT GUILTY OF PERJURY. HIGH
TREASON AND FORGERY.
Won LuetzOw Given n Taste of Ger
ed-The Eastern Question.

BERLIN, June 4-Herr Won Tausch, the
former chief of the secret political police
who has been on trial here for nearly two
weeks past, charged with perjury, high
treason and forgery, was acquitted to-day.
Baron Won Luetzow, who was tried with
Herr Won Tausch, and who was charged
with defrauding the imperial army service
fund and with forging a receipt for the
purpose of willful imposition, was con-
Victed. The public prosecutor after the YER
diet asked that sentence of six months
in prison be imposed upon Won LuetZow in
addition to the fifteen months imprison-
ment to which he was sentenced on Dec.
last after having been convicted of libel
ing Baron Marschall Won Bieberstein, the
minister for foreign affairs and two years
loss of civil rights The court sentenced
Won Luetzow to two months Imprisonment,
taking into consideration the fact that in
certain cases he had acted for the secret
political police, which employment, the
court added, made it almost impossible
for man to preserve his sense of honor"
In conclusion the presiding judge expressed
the hope that after Won Luetzow had COM
pleted his Imprisonment he would lead an
honorable life.

PATENT APPLICATIONS.
The Majority of Those Sent to Wash
ingtOn Are Rejected.
Washington Star.


The application for patents filed average
about 125 a day. There are thrty-five prin-
cipal examiners, with perhaps 200 assist
ants. Every examiner and every assistant
examiner has his own speciality. Let us
take the case, say, of a poor inventor living
in Oregon He makes valuable invention
and desires to obtain patent. He sends
his application, with $15, to the commission
erS of patents. 1t is referred to the eX-
aminer having charge of that peculiar class
of inventions. 1t is his duty to reject il if
anything can be found on which to base a
rejection. Nearly 600 900 patents have been
granted in the United States, and probably
more than a million IN the rest of the world
If any of these anticipated the invention
the examiner must reject the application
1t is not necessary that exactly the same
thing should have existed before, for if any
thing substantially similar can be found the
applicant must go to the wall. But, more
than this, if anything similar has been de-
scribed in any printed publication, in any
language anywhere in the world. or IL
without being patented or described in print
it has been used anywhere in the United
States the examiner should reject
The rub comes all the time upon the de-
gree of similarity which will constitute an
anticipation Of the invention. A tremendous
upon the examiner. He wants to be safe
1t is both his pride and his duty not to
allow patent to go out that ought to have
been rejected. The consequence is that a
great many examiners reject almost every
thing on the first examination. No matter
how broadly new the invention may be.
something can always be found that is akin
to it, The nearest thing that can be found
is used as a basis for rejection.

LABOUCHERE ASSAULTED.
Attacked by the ''SOn of the Prince of
Begging Letter Writer'S"

LONDON, June 4. - While Henry la
bouchere, the editor of Truth and Radical
member of Parliament, was on his way
from his residence to the House of Com
mons to-day young mar. accosted him and
struck him several blows with a horsewhip
1t was reported at first that the assault
arose from the charges Mr.. Labouchere
brought against some of the people con-
nected with the Transvaal raid. but later
it developed that the assailant of Mr.. La
bouchere is the son of the Rev George
Brooks, otherwise known rs 1.-The prince of
begging letter writer's" whose doings were
exposed in the columns of Truth. Brooks
who was formerly a Methodist parson is
said to have obtained the sum of $40 900
within a period of five years by sending
begging letters to Cabinet ministers, dukes
archbShops, directors of the Bank of Eng
land, adnirals, and, it is said even to VIII
liam Waldorf Aston. Brooks, who has also
been dubbed Bounty Brooks. from the
fact that he succeeded in obtaining n
grant of G200 from the royal bounty fund
voted every year by Parliament to enable
and women, brought suit for libel against
Mr. Labouchere, which resulted in verdict
in December last, in favor of the editor
who is credited with having spent about
100000 during recent years IN exposing
frauds.
The attack was merely technical as
sault. Mr. LabOuchere was not injured
and after demonstrating somewhat with his
aSSailant walked down the street with him.

committee consists of Miss Mercia Hoag-
