Hawaiian Exporters

Mr.. Jackson Makes a Complaint

ury Department.

Washington, Aug 81. - 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 were obliged to
report goods shipped to the Islands,
but since the annexation they simply
say 1t 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 q commercial city
very greatly. because more than % per
cent Of her import trade is with Ha-
waii. In fact, according TO the depart
ment's figures, for the year 1899 one
half of all goods imported into San
Francisco came from Hawaii These
totals in the next Treasury report viii

with greatly increased actual commerce
she will make comparatively smaller

believes the San Francisco people

induce shippers to supply all neces-
sary figures. The Chief of the Bureau
OF Statistics says IL this it not done he

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. s.-The Ohio re.

Democrats concede 10000 and the Re.
publicans claim about $4,000 for their
national and state tickets as compared
with 81, l09 for Mckinley in 1896. The

OMAHA, Nov. 8-The result of the
election in Nebraska is still in doubt.
About 500 precincts out of 1911 have
been heard from and these show very
substantial Republican gains. The
Republicans claim they will give Nc
Kinley a majority and the Democrats
are equally sure of the result. The
changes, however, have been so diver.
sified that it is we'll nigh impossible to
make an estimate. With correspond.
ing result in unreported precincts to
those already received, Mckinley will
have small plurality. The legislature
is also uncertain. The state Demo-
cratic ticket is running slightly ahead
Of Bryan.
Latest totals on the national ticket
are from 462 precincts outside Of Omaha
and Douglas county, which gave Nc.
Kinley 4s.953, Bryan 40,2l9, a Repub.
lican gain of 5.566 over 1896.
Later returns do not materially
change the figures in the state and
there is considerable doubt which way
it will go on the national ticket.
On the legislative ticket, which is
now the center of interest, the indica.
tions favor the Fusion delegation in
Douglass county, with good chances
out in the state. The next legislature
electstwo United States senators.
