STATISTICS 0E TIKI YEAR.

Collector General Stackabe is at
work upon his annual report to the
Minister of Finance, which will contain
some very interesting statistics about
the business OF the year just ended. 1t
will be ready about the end of this
gnonth. The various departments of the
custom house are now preparing re-
ports to be submitted to Stackable for
incorporation in the general report.
Among the most interesting figures
will be those in the tables showing i'm
ports and exports for 1899, as compared
with other years. The exports, mainly
sugar have been published in detail as
the year went by, and The Star has
printed the statement of the Planters
Association, showing the crop of the
year, as reckoned from September to
September. The imports will undoubt-
edly be very large, but there is no
means of getting figures till Minister
Damon has them.
Exact figures as to contract labor and
other assisted immigration, as well as
ordinary passenger travel, will be an
other interesting feature of the report.
The years business in this line has been
the largest on record. A resume of pub
Iished reports, with information obtain
able from the agents of the various
companies supplying men, shows that
the number of men, women and children
imported for plantation labor was be-
tween twenty-five and thirty thousand.
These We're nearly all Japanese. This
immense addition to the population
almost enough to double the population
of Honolulu,-is now distributed over
various islands. There was one load of
Portuguese and Italians, brought by
the Victoria some months ago and some
Spaniards in the lot, and the through
steamers from China have brought
small lists of Chinese from time to time.
A large majority of the immigrants are
contract laborers, though on some of the
steamers there has been Cuui ter or
half of the passengers free" Nearly
everyshipment has had a few women
and children, but the proportion has
been small enough to excite discussion
during the year The men probably out
number the women by four to one.
Since the end of the year 1899 there
have been four lots of immigrants re-
ceived, numbering altogether over 5000
men, women and children. Most of
them are on quarantine island, and one
lot is still on board the vessel.
From the best figures attainable, the
Commissioners of immigration, the
Board of Health, and the shipping col
umns of The Star, the total number of
Japanese, Chinese. Coreans, Portuguese
and Italians arriving during the year
1899 was as follows: Japanese, 26,041:
Chinese, 97S; Coreans, 4: Portuguese
(the immigrants by the S. S. Victoria
which included Spaniards and others),
343: Italians 10. Total 273S5. OF these
about 10000 came as contract laborers
and about 1000 as free immigrants.
While these figures may not be precise
they will probably vary from the Off
cial custom house figures by less than
100. They are the most accurate at
tainable at the present time in conse-
quence of the policy of the finance de-
partment of Withholding all information
for December from the public.
