*Year ending November Both.
During the year ending November 80,
1897, the imports were s4,731 ,225, and
the exports were S9,99G,520.
This trade has shown a wonderful
growth, mainly as a direct result of the
reciprocity treaty. A few years ago,
however, 1t was thought that business
with the Islands was being overdone
and had about reached high-water
mark. Since the Islands came under
the American flag new life has been in
fused into our commerce with the
Mainland, and we have now become a
leading feature in the trade statistics
of San Francisco. Although, in fact,
American territory, the Hawaiian ISL
ands are still retained in the foreign
export list, as full annexation has not
yet been proclaimed. Hereafter this
trade will be classed as "coastwise,' -
and then statistics of the same cannot
be given as heretofore, inasmuch as
shippers will not be required to file
manifests specifying articles, quantities
and values in detail.
/ The imports from San Francisco to
/ the Hawaiian Islands have comprised
every line of merchandise and produce.
and, together with the exports, have
given employment regularly to a large
amount of sail and steam tonnage.
The sugar interest in the Islands has
made great strides, and the shipments
of machinery, building materials, fer
tiliZers and general plantation supplies
reach very large valuation.
I Sugar is the chief article eynorted
from the Islands, and the export value
in each month is mostly for the same.
In the year ending November 30, 1899,
the total export value was 81 1863, ASP.
and this included 81, 049, 266 for sugar
alone.
For a number of years ending De-
eember 31st the merchandise imports
and exports were as follows:

Our Trade With the Mainland for
l899--SOme Interesting
Figures.

The big freighter BloemfOntein ar
rived yesterday morning from Seattle
after an eleven days run. The Bloem-
fontein is one Of the new vessels in
connection with the British-American
line. Her cargo is made up principally
of hay, grain and beer and is the iarg-
est ever brought in a single bottom to
this port. Owing to the crowded con-
dition of the harbOr, the big liner is
compelled to anchor outside and await
her turn at the wharf. The ship Luz
Gle, from Tacoma, is also anchored off
port; she will probably come in today.
The schooner Ruby Cousins cleared for
San Francisco in ballast yesterday
morning.
The schooner Richard Nelson was at
Makaweli when the w. G.. Hall sailed.
Our Trade With San Francisco
The year 1899 was the last one in
which the American trade statistics
will include the Hawaiian Islands as
foreign territory, In recent years our
commerce with the United States has
increased beyond all expectation, and
1899 was the banner year.
The monthly imports from San Fran
cisco during the year ending November
80, 1899, to the Hawaiian Islands. and
exports from the same, were as fol-
lows:

NOTES.

The transport Tartar arrived of port
at about 4:3O yesterday afternoon from
San Francisco. She stopped just long
enough to drop one bag of mail for re-
turn to San Francisco and proceeded
on her course to Manila.
The japanese steamer Doyo Maru
was to have sailed at o'clock yester-
day afternoon, but in pulling out from
the dock one of the shore lines became
entangled with her propeller. She is
now in the stream and will sail early
this morning.

To arrive at a full appreciation of
the expansion of our commerce with
the Mainland, let us go back less than
a quarter of a century, to the year 1876.
in which the reciprocity treaty took eff
feet. In that year and 1898, both end
ing December 31st, the imports and
exports, compared, were as follows:

Richard D. Creech, of 1869
Second Street, Appleton, Wis
consin, says:
"Our son Willard was abso-
1utely helpless. His lower limbs
were paralyzed, and when we
used electricity he could not feel
it below his hips. Finally my
mother, who lives in Canada,
wrote advising the use of DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and 1 bought some. This
was when our boy had been on
the stretcher for an entire year
and helpless for nine months.
In six weeks after taking the
pills we noted signs of vitality
in his legs, and in four months
he was able to go to school. 1t
was nothing else in the world
that saved the boy than DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People."-Fr0m tie Crescent

Aside from sugar the exports from
the Islands are OF comparatively small
value, and the great increase in the
aggregate export value is, therefore,
mainly due TO the remarkable strides of
sugar production. The imports from
San Francisco largely consist of an
exchange of California manufactured
articles and natural productions for the
one chief product of the Hawaiian ISL
ands. The growth Of the sugar trade
Is strikingly illustrated by the follow
ing figures of exports at San Francisco,
year ending December 31st:

Two Special Sessions of the
Cabinet Held to Consider
Chinese Situation.
Members Very Reticent but AS
sert No Alarming News Has
Been Received.
Memorandum Is Being Prepared
Embodying the Admins :,
tratiOn Views.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-A special
meeting of the cabinet was held at the
White House at 10 o'clock. At 1910 p.
NJ, after having been in session over
two hours, the members separated to
meet again at $50. The meeting was
attended by all the cabinet members in
the city, Secretaries Gage, Root, Hitch
cock and Wilson and Postmaster Gen
eral Smith. In addition, Acting Secre-
tary of State Adee was present. It is
very unusual for an assistant secretary
to attend cabinet meetings in the alb
sence of his chief, but owing to the
fact that the phase Of the Chinese sit
uation under discussion related to the
diplomatic negotiations now in progress
the presence Of the acting secretary Of
state was deemed essential After the
meeting the members Of the cabinet
We're extremely reticent and non-com-
initial. 1t is learned, however, that
the subject under consideration related
almost exclusively to the
Policy of the Government
in the negotiations now going on with
the powers concerning China and this
in itself would account for the extreme
caution Of the cabinet officials. 1t was
positively asserted that no information
of an alarming character had been re-
ceived to necessitate the special meet.
ing of the cabinet, but that the meeting
was devoted to the progress of the ex-
changes with the powers. AS result
of these exchanges the policy Of this
government is being formulated and
