TAHITI MoTHER-oF-PEARL.
Report of Consul Doty- on the Trndc
in the Article.


Jacob L. Doty. Consul at Tahiti has sub
mitted to the State Department a report or
the trade in Tahiti mother of pearl in
which he says: Il am informed that not
withstanding the fact that Tahiti shells
can be purchased (by arrangemenD at New
York before trans-shipmeut to London. the
distributing point for the worlds supply.
buyers in the United States rarely avail
themselves of the opportunity, but usually
secure their supply from London
Mr.. Doty's report follows
Under date OF December IA, 1898, Vice
Consul Hart transmitted report (printed
in Advance Sheets of Consular Reports No.
356. February u, 1899 concerning the pro-
posed export tax upon mother-of-peari
shells.
L have now to inform the department
that on the 18th instant a decree was pro-
mulgated at the instance of the President
of the Republic Of France establishing an
export duty of 10 francs (S2.S9) per 100 Kill
ograms (220 IS pOunds) upon all mother-of-
pearl shells exported from this colony. This
tax however is to be refunded upon the
production of a certificate from the Gus
toms authorities in France, showing that
the shells have been entered at a French
port and declared for consumption.
This measure was adopted in the hope
that II might stimulate trade between
France and this distant colony The opin-
ion prevails here, however. that the duty is
too low to force the shipment of Tahiti
shells to France, and that it will result
only in hardship for divers should mer-
chants combine and deduct the amount OF
the tax from the price paid for the shells
at the fisheries.
1T is claimed, moreover, that France IS
not the best market for Tahiti pearl shells;
and that the variety produced here tback
edge has in the past found but limited de-
mand there, and in consequence large ship
ments to France would be Improbable.
Notwithstanding the export duty, Tahiti
pearl shells Will find their way to the Lon
don market, which has for many years
been the distributing point for the worlds
supply of mother of-pearI shells.
This tax will have no considerable bear
ing. if any. upon the trade of the United
States. Large quantities of shells are
shipped through the United States in
transit to London, and this will probably
continue"

The Cruiser Making Fast Time on
Her Journey to Manila.
According to advices received at the
Navy Department yesterday. the United
States cruiser Newark, which sailed from
San Francisco for Manila October Is,
made record breaking run to Honolulu.
covering the distance in seven days and
two hours a feat never before accomplished
by vessel of the Navy The distance,
200 miles, was made at q speed of thir-
teen knots an hour against decidedly ad-
verse conditions. aside from being heavily
laden with large quantities CT ordnance
and other supplies, the Newark carried 300
tons of fresh water in her double bottom
compartments. The performance. in view
of the unusual conditions, Is regarded by
the naval engineers at the Navy Depart
ment as being remarkable. Captain Nc
Gala. SO the advees states, was more than
pleased with the showing made by his yes
sci, and advanced all the men below the
decks who helped to maintain the wonder
full speed one conduct class.
Judging from the showing made by the
Newark, the officers at the Navy Depart
ment feel sure that she will be the winner
in the race now going on between the
i've ships en- route to Manila to participate
IN the blockade TO be established against
the Philippine insurgents. All the vessels
sailed from the United States at about the
same time. The Brooklyn, which is tax
ing the Suez Canal route, is in the lead
on that route, and is about due at Port
Said. According to the speed maintained
by the Newark on the run to Honolulu,
she Will be able to make about twelve
knots an hour over the remainder OF the
course. The distance from Honolulu to
Manila is 1900 miles and at a twelve
knot rate the Newark, with average
weather, is expected to reach her desti-
nation in about fifteen days from her de-
parture from Honolulu. 1t is thought that
the Newasf left Honolulu about the 18th
of October as about four days is usually
required in reCoaling. According 10 this
calculation made by naval men, she is
now about eight or nine days on her
voyage to Manila, at which point she is
due in about six or seven. days.
The Newatk. before her departure frcm
San Francisco, received a thorough over
| hauling, but no radical changes were made
| in her machinery Her best previous
| cruising speed was ten knots maintained
