cent Of the population. In 1850 the per-
centage Of them had fallen to A per cent.
and in 1871 to 80 per cent. There has
therefore been a steady decline in the
negro population. 1t is probable that
census taken at this time would show
sull smaller percentage of negroes to the
total population.
The Cubans are not anxious for negro
immigrants. When it was proposed soYe
time ago to send colonies of negroeS to
the province of Santiago. there was pro-
test from the white people there. Assum-
ing that Mr.. Clarks figures are correct, it
will not be so very many years before the
negro population Of Cuba viii be very
small, unless 1t Is recruited by immigra-
ton. II seems that the neglect of the
laws of health has a more disastrous eff
feet in that island than in any part of this
country. The negroes do not thrive there
as we'll as the white people do.

Austin's Hawaiian weekly. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1899-190?, 1899-06-17
Growth of Honolulu.

heights few months ago said: 81 have visited
nearly every tropical city in the world but this
is the most romantic and beautiful of them all.
Furthermore, it is the only one | have seen
that is clearl-even approaching cleanliness. If
the United States continues to annex such pos
sessions as this every American ought to have
swelled head" Mr.. Creeman's compliment is
deserved and highly appreciated
Honolulu has passed through many stages OF
development. The first commercial activity in
Hawaii was the sandal-wood period and trade
with China. After the sandal-wood trees del
out the whaling period made business lively TN
til the whaling fleet was destroyed during the
civil war
In the early sixties the manufacture of sugar,
even in its crude state became a factor in the
commercial history OF the islands. But it was
not until the reciprocity treaty went into effect
in 1876 that the sugar industry began to BOOM
During the ten years that followed Mr.
Claus Spreckels, through Irwin 4 Co., became
the greatest factor in the development of the
Sugar industry. The revolutionary period from
1887 to 1894 put stop to the rapid develop
ment of this the most fertile spot on earth. But
even during this period commercial activity did
not cease. The methods of sugar manufacture
were constantly improved SO that to-day even
with more expensive labor Hawaii can produce
sugar cheaper than any other sugar district in
the world.
The fourth industrial period in Hawaii may
be said to date from the rise of Mr. b. +.
Dillingham; as great promoter of new enter
prses. His first effort constructing the
Oahu Railway and promotion of the Eva plan
tation. The Oahu Railway in five years with
the assistance of irrigation has turned a desert
waste into highly cultivated fields of sugar-cane
with great sugar factories of the most modern
type. In his railway enterprise MIR. Dillingham;
was assisted by the government, but the enter
prise does not owe the people anything for, in
the few years that the road has been in operation
the increased valuation of the property along
the line 90 miles, has returned in taxes more
than the government subsidy.
The story of Mr. Dilnglam's trials and tribu-
atons preceding his successes will probably never
be told. He began early as 1885 to agitate the
Oahu Railway enterprise and the irrigation. of
the then, desert wastes between Honolulu and the
Waianae mountains, by pumping to higher levels
from the sea-shore, where fresh water made large
out-croppings. His project in those days was
practically laughed at by local capitalists and he
met with the fate of all genius-tfat of being
considered a crank But this is the fate of genius
whether in literature, art music or finance. Yet
genius ever perseveres against all obstacles until
its object is attained So it was with Mr.. Dilling
ham.
Finding that he could not float his scheme here
he went to England and received great encourage
ment from people in the highest financial circles.
But here again he met with misfortune.

NEW YORK. July 4.-The throat of Theo-

CHICAGO. July 4.-Rain ushered in the
Pullman road race. and fell with dull per-
sistence while the 20S starters waited for
the word to go. There were 327 entries, but

Pullman.
The start was made in front of the Lee

POLO GROUNDS. New York, July A.
The Senators gave New York stiff argu-
E,ent this morning in a hotly-fought game
that didn't belong TO either team until the
ninth inning was over. New York never
is much attendance at morning games
on holidays, and the poor. despised Giants
were quite elated at the size of the crowd
that greeted them. especially as 800 and
go was the limit when they left.
After looking over his pitching staff.
Manager Irwin concluded that McFarlan
was about good enough to fool New York
and put him in the box. For three innings
the local men failed TO make anything that
looked like hit: meanwhile the Washing
tens had found Carrick's slow ones to the
extent of a single run.
First for Washington.
1t came In the third inning. Little Ma
lachi Kittredge raped single to left field
McFarIan. always weak at the stick, fam
ned on slow ones. Slagle popped up high fly
to Gleason. O'Brien came up with a time
~ single. and a base on balls to Anterior
filled the sacks. Bonner beat the ball down
in front of the plate and Kittredge scored.
Freeman died on a hit to Doyle.
In the fourth. with one out. Herman and
Doyle hit safely in succession. Hartman
fouled and Mcfarland ticketed Gleason to
first. filling the bases. O'Brien came to the
front with beautiful drive straight to CEN
ter for two bases, scoring Herman and
Doyle. Wilson hit to Barry and stopped
Three More in the Sixth.
In the sixth Atherton worried base on
balls out of Carrick- Bonner flied to Tier
nan. trying to place the ball in right field.
Freeman followed with a grounder that
bounded over DOyle's head for base, put
ting Atherton on third. Padden singled to
right and Atherton counted. Barrys slow
grounder TO Hartman confused the German
who made a bad throw TO first, and Free
man and Padden counted. Neither side
scored another run until the eighth. Then
Bonner was given a base on balls and Free
man fouled out trying to help him to second
Padden pushed a single to left field that
tangled up Hartman, who did not know
where to throw when he got the ball. Barry
raped cOrker for two bases to center and
Bonner scored. That was all of Washing
tons runs for the game.
McFarIand's Fine Work.
The prettiest inning that Mcfarland
pitched in the game was the seventh, when
with the bases full he kept the New York
ers from scoring In the eighth the bases
were full for Washington. but Mcfarland
hit straight to Carrick, who got the ball to
the plate in time for a double play Free
man and Padden batted in great form for
Washington, and Paddens fast game at
short helped the Washingtons immeasur-
ably. S.aSle dropped an easy fly and Pad
den fuInbled one grounder, but neither mis-
take made any difference with the result of
the game
