Expansion and Business.

Consul General Haywood has sent to
the State Department the returns OF
Hawaiian trade for 1899. They show
total exports and imports Of $41, 100
900, of which the United States secured
no less than $37, 100000 of trade, leav-
ing only $4,20O,O00 divided among all
other countries.
A list Of forty articles, al Of which
are of American manufacture or pro-
duction, shows an increase in impor-
tations amounting to $5,267, $50, as COM
pared with 1893. The revenue from i'm
port duties in 1899 was 100000 in ex-
cess Of that of 1885, This is a large
gain when it is considered that almost
all goods imported from the United
States are admitted there free Of duty.
During the month Of December, 1899,
the largest amount of imports ever re-
corded for one month In Honolulu was
received. Sixteen foreign steamers and
fortyeight sailing vessels arrived In
port with cargoes. This does not in
clude the large number of United
States transports that entered the har-
Dor bringing stock and quartermaster's

reservation, was indicted for distributing
liquor among his tribe and was ordered

from the Indian policeman in charge to

The policeman did not trust his pris-

Manypenny might attempt. The officer
had just taken his position on the steps

CREATES SENSATION.

kenosha, Wis, April 27.-[Special. L
Quite sensation was created in this
city this morning by the announcement
that the officials Of the city had succeed
ed III locating DR.. Petite Grin Stonebra-
ker, formerly of Somers, and wanted in
this city on a charge Of manslaughter in
small town in North Dakota. Dr.
Stonebraker was one of the principals in
the famous Stonebraker divorce case,
which was tried in this city two years
ago. just before the case came to trial
warrant was issued for the arrest of
StOnebraker on a charge of manslaughter
and he left the city and since that time
the officers have kept up a constant
search for him.
His present whereabouts were discov-
cred in a peculiar manner 1t seems that
the doctor has taken up the practice of
medicine in Dakota town and had been
engaged to be married. One of the
women, with whom he was particularly
intimate, had written to a friend in this
city and asked in regard to him. The
news Of his whereabouts was commune
Gated at once to the officials. 1t is not
as yet known whether or not he will
return to this city. as his wife, who was
the complaining witness against him. has
removed from the county to Denver and
the officials fear that they would not be
able to make q case against him.
