NOT DECREASING SO FAST.
President Dole Thinks Annexa-
ton VIII Benefit Them.

Washington, Nov. 19.-The decrease
of the Hawaiian race has been stead
lily growing less rapid for the past
several decades, especially the female
population, according to the annual
report of ex-President Sanford E.
Dole, governor of Hawaii. The i'll
crease of part Hawaiians tends to
keep down Ehe number of the pure
Hawaiians. While the figures show
race progress the census reports as
to surviving children are discourag-
ing. In both the census of 1890 and
1896 the pure Hawaiian percentage
of survivors was the lowest of all
nationalities represented in the isl
ands. An encouraging outlook for
the Hawaiians exists in the fact that
out of 6,327 owners of real estate III
1896, 1896 were pure Hawaiians and
10 part Hawaiians.
The eX-president reports that there
Is reason to expect that annexation
is going to influence Hawaiian char
acter very favorably through the
changed conditions effected Their
old dependence on their chiefs has
ceased and they are forced to rely
more upon themselves and their foot
ing with the white men in the flu
ture will be equal. The political priv
ileges they enjoy in common with
other American citizens, he says, will
tend to educate them in public af-
fairs. The TOTAL valuation of real
and personal property in Hawaii sub
ject to al valorem assessment in 1900
is S97 491 .5S4 The receipts from
taxes are estimated at S1,341 $50.
The commerce of Hawaii is shown
for the period between Jan. l and
June ii. 1900, as follows:
Imports, $10.6S3.516; exports. Sill
404, 496: customs revenues, $597. S97.
With the exception of the production
of sugar, rice. firewood. fertilizers
and live stock and the promotion OF
irrigation the development of the nat
ural resources of the Hawaiian Isl
ands is stated to have scarcely be-
