Nothing gives clearer idea of the Of prosperity
passing Hawaii than careful perusal
1899 Pros Of the annual report Of the Collector
porous Year. General Of Customs for the year ending
December 31st, $780, copy of which we
herewith gratefully acknowledge the receipt Of At the
close Of his report to the Minister of Finance Collector
General Stackable, says:
marked by three especial notable
characteristics First continuation of the phenomenal imports OF last year.
Third the combined imports and
form the shown single the history the
country ., ..
$rr6soSeo in 1895
1898
The total thus stands $4l6Ss3H
against $zS95 1885, $12oo2 greater than the preceding year
This is splendid showing of prosperity for Hawaii.
1t simply the forerunner of what is to come The
plague situation last much longer and conditions
such lead to most unparalleled activity in business
All indications point that way One of the most interest
ing tabuatons the Collector Generals report that
upon immigration. The arrivals for the year have been
7as for 1899 against 1929 for 1885, and the departures
for 1899 $685. leaving increase OF population from
immigration alone Of 1886 1t is probably greater than this
many of the departures people who have homes
here and were simply abroad visit
The population of the Hawaiian islands, in round
numbers is people This gives S22o capita for
exports and s4o capita for exports and imports
This makes showing of four times that Of the United
States the richest country the world except and
twice the showing of that country This is evidence of the
fact that Hawaii is the richest country on earth.

HOTEL BURNS.
Fire Destroys the McGOnigRl House
n Oswayo. Pa.-Four Inmates.
Lose Their Lives.

Oswayo, Pa. Nov. 19.-Four men were
burned to death in fire which on Sun
day destroyed the McGonigal house. a
three-story frame building, the hotel
barn and the opera house. The three
buildings were burned to the ground
in half an hour from the time the fire
started. The dead are: Arthur Fetch
err, bookkeeper for the Pennsylvania
Stave company. home in Boston; Mich
ael Russell. employe Pennsylvania Tan
ming company, Oswayo; William Null
haney, of Rexford, n. Y; Hugh Jamer-
son. of Alfred y. Y. Nothing remains
of the four unfortunate men but few
charred bones.
The town has no fire department. the
only protection being a pump at the
tannery. The fire originated in the Me-
Gonigal house from an overpressure
OF natural gas. There were 30 people
in the hotel. which was flmsy struc-
ture. Three men were seriously injured.
Otto Kauley, gas line walker of
Coudersport. Pa, was burned about
the face and arms; Jerry Daley sus-
tanned a broken shoulder by jumping
from the third story of the hotel, and
one man had a leg broken in jumping.
Several Others received minor injuries
and slight burns in making the exit
from the building. There were many
narrow escapes, most of the occupants
jumping from the windows. The
flames licked up the hotel building as
If it were built of finder. The tannery
employees connected line of hose to
the burning buildings, but on account
of some trouble with the pump there
was considerable delay in getting
stream on the fire. and the flames had
got beyond control. The property loss

AN AWFUL FATE.
Colored brute Is Durned mt the stake
at Limon, Col, for Murder of
Little Ct-t

| Limon, Col, Nov. 17.-Chained to .
railroad rnil set firmly in the ground
on the exact spot where his fendish
crime was committed, Preston Por-
ter, Jr. or, as he was Familiarity
known, John Porter. Friday evening
paid terrible penalty for his deed.
1t was 6:23 o'clock when the father
of the murdered Frost girl touched
the match to the fuel which had been
piled around the negro, and 20 min
utes later n last convulsive shudder
told that life was extinct. What agony
the doomed boy suffered while the
flames shriveled up his flesh could
only be guessed from the terrible
contortions of his face and the cries
he gave from time to time.
Preston Porter did not seem to real
lie the awful punishment that he was
destined to undergo. AS he had ex-
hibited indifference to the enormity
of his crime, so he seemed to lack all
understanding of its terrible conse-
quences. For more than an hour
while preparations for his execution
were in progress he stood mute and
sullen among the avengers. When ev-
erything was ready he walked to the
stake with firm step, pausing as he
reached the circle of broken boards to
kneel in prayer. He was allowed to
take his time. He arose and placed
his back to the iron stake, and half
n dozen men wound chains about his
body and limbs.
The executioners, who numbered
about 300 citizens of Lincoln county,
had not the least semblance of the
ordinary mob. Their every act was
deliberate, and during all the prepa-
rations, as well as throughout the
sufferings of the negro, hardly an I'M
necessary word was spoken. Grimly
they stood in n circle about the fire
until the body was entirely consumed
and then quietly they took their way
back to Limon, from whence they
departed for their homes shortly aft
erward.

tiOns for the Year.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of the superintendent of the
dead letter Office shows the large in
crease of total receipts of undelivered
mail matter over the previous year of
nearly ten per cent. The number of
pieces of matter received from all
sources was 7,536,15s, against $685.
9s3 for the preceding year. Letters
and parcels held for postage num-
bered 1860, and the misdirected
422.793. Nearly $4,000 letters were re-
ceived which bore no addresses what
ever. The letters addressed to the
guests of hotels and undelivered num-
bered 260.624. The total number of un-
claimed parcels of all descriptions
was 1S0,914. There were Goo, 461 pieces
of mail matter addressed TO foreign
countries and returned from there as
unbelievable. The number of letters
and parcels opened was 6.676003, an
increase over the preceding year of
9h per cent. There were 50,553. let
tiers containing an aggregate of S44,-
140, and letters containing drafts

PENALTY is FIXED.
Princes Tunn and ChwanE to BE Inn
prisoned for Life-Lighter Pun
ishment for Others.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Minister WI
has received from Director General
Sheng the following cablcgram, which
he communicated to Secretary Hay
Friday:
IAN imperial decree OF November 10 de-
prives Prince Tuan and Prince Chwang OF
their ranks and offices and orders them to
be imprisoned for life; Prince Yih and Sec
ondary Prince Ying to be imprisoned; Sec
ondary Prince Lien to be deprived of his
rank; Duke Ian and Wing Men to be de-
graded In rank: Kang vi being dead. no
penalty can be imposed upon him. and Chao
Shu Chaio to be degraded. but retained in
office and Yu Hsien to be exiled' to the
3arthest boundary"
The Chinese officials mentioned in the
and comprise most, If not all, of those
against whom the powers demanded
rigorous punishment. Prince Tuan
stands at the head of the anti-foreign
and Boxer, movement. Previous edicts
have degraded him and taken away his
Office ana servants, but this judgment
of life Imprisonment is the most severe
thus far given to any of the leaders re-
sponsible for the trouble. From Chi
nese standpoint, II is an extreme pen
atty to prince of the blood, but it re-
mains TO be seen whether the powers
will regard it as adequate to Prince
Tuan's offense. The others mentioned
were Tuan's active associates and two
of them were specifically mentioned
for punishment, along with Tuan, in
Secretary Hays note of October 3, ad-
vising the Chinese government that
this country would expect these Off
Gals to receive their just deserts.
Kang-Yi is one of the officials who died
suddenly after the demands for punish
ment had been made, probably by sui
eide. Yu Hsien is another who was
thought to have committed suicide,
but the edict indicates that he is still
alive

Griggs VIII Quit Cabinet.

Washington, Nov. 17,-At the cab.
met meeting Friday Attorney Gen
eral Griggs informed the president
and his colleagues that after mature
deliberations he had concluded that it
would be impossible for him TO re-
main a member of the cabinet for the
next four years. This was the first
definite response from any member
to the presidents wish expressed at
the last cabinet meeting that all of
the portfolios should remain in the
same hands during the coming admin
istration. The resignation of the at
torney general will not take effect un-
til March next. and it is thought at
present that all the other members,
with the possible exception of the see
rotary of war, will retain their pres
ent positions.
