THEY WON'T REPORT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21-Collector
Jackson of San Francisco has written
to the Treasury Department because
exporters who send goods to Hawaii
will not make reports to him on their
export trade. Before the annexation of
Hawaii these shippers We're obliged to
report goods shipped to the Islands.
but since the annexation they simply
say it Is none of Collector Jackson's
business what or how much they are
shipping to Hawaii or importing from
there. The Treasury Department here
is considerably stirred up over the
attitude of the shippers. The Chief of
the Bureau of Statistics said today that
this action would hurt the reputation
, of San Francisco as a commercial city
, very greatly, because more than % per
cent of her import trade is with Ha-
wall. In fact, according to the depart
: ments figures for the year 1899 one
half of all goods imported into San
Francisco came from Hawaii. These
totals in the next Treasury report will
be taken out of San Francisco'S ship
ping figures, and the result will be that
with greatly increased actual COM
merce she will make a comparatively
? smaller official showing than she has
made for many years past. The depart
a ment here believes the San Francisco
: people ought to take hold Of the matter
!, and induce shippers to supply all nee
essary figures. The Chief of the Bureau
of Statistics says If this is not done he
D will recommend to Secretary Gage that
= Congress be asked to pass a law COM
polling figures to be supplied.
