TAX SMALL
THE TOTAL ASSESSMENTS ONLY
1885,, 900.
Almost All From Oahu-Returns From
Other Islands Being Investigated by
an Expert.

The total amount of the assessments
of income tax throughout the Islands,
as shown by reports received and fig
ured up by Treasurer Wright, show
the amount of money coming from this
source to be far less than any of the
estimates made so far. The assess
ments amount to 1885, 900, of which
$277 90 is for the island of Oahu.
The figures show that returns were
made by persons whose incomes for
the year 1900 aggregated SIG, 6,75O,OOO.
Citizens and corporations of Oahu
alone had incomes amounting to N3,-
$50 O0O Most of this is Honolulu re-
turns, where the large corporations
have their head offices. The incomes
are net incomes, with the sum of $1,000
from the net receipts deducted in each
case.
The total is little over half what was
expected by many who had made cal
culations. In the Legislature, when the
income YAK bill was under discussion,
1t was estimated that the tax would
bring in $500O0O.
The returns from the other Islands
may be revised to some extent. EX-
pert Scrimgeour is now on Hawaii, eX-
pering accounts. Before returning to
Honolulu he will visit Maui on the
same errand, and his reports may re-
suit in some increases of the amounts
assessed. 1t is not expected, however,
that there will be a very material in
| crease.

SUBDUED
HOW CHICAGO CORRESrONDENT
VIEWS SITUATION.
Says Disasters in Samar Island Were
Due to Fact that Place Had Not Been
Subjected.

According ~ the opinion of j, NJ. Nc
Cormick. of the Chicago Tribune who
is returning home on the Coptic, the
Philippines are under excellent control
and there Is really little occasion for
alarm over the recent killing of several
detachments of United States troops on
the island of Samar.
Mr.. Mccormick went out to the Phil
ippines last summer at the invitation Of
Adjutant General Corbin, when the lat
ter went on his inspection of the Phi
lippines. Mr.. Mccormick had the op-
portunity of inspecting the various
army posts throughout the islands and
becoming intimately acquainted with
the real condition of affairs throughout
the islands. He is quite optimistic In
his estimation of the situation.
''In my opin on" he said this morning
THE reports which have been sent out
by the Associated Press and New York
Sun correspondents are too much of an
alarming character. The situation in
the Philippines does not l think, war
rant such reports being sent abroad. AS
a matter of fact, we have the islands
under control, with the possible eXcep-
tion of Samar. Mandanao and some of
the hill section of Luzon. Those recent
outbreaks at Samar have practically
no bearing whatever upon the situation
throughout the other islands of the
Archipelago. In fact, those uprisings
than an uprising in Alaska, for instance
might have on the balance of the
United States, or indeed, probably not
so much.
You see the conditions in the islands
are simply this; each island has to be
subjected in turn. The army has dis
poseu of practically all of them except
Samar, Mindanao and some of the hill
section of Luzon and these will in turn
nave to be handled as the rest of the
islands were.
1T is a wonder to me that worse loss
was not inflicted upon our forces on
Samar. Practically no offensive opera
tionS had been begun before these out
breaks and the United States forces
were scattered in small detachments
about the islands. 1 accompanied Cen
eral Smith to Samar after the first out
break and was on the island when the
second attack occurred. At the time of
my departure for home, operations
against the insurgents on Samar were
being begun and look for news within
few weeks more of the subjugation of
the entire island"

mot A HAPPY LIFE EMPRESS IN PENNG
EXPERIENCE IN
THE PHILIPPINES.
Misses Gray Forced to Resign Their
Positions on Account of Poor Health.
Others Left Service

Among the passengers on the Coptlc
are Miss c. NJ. Gray and Miss Il. l..
Gray who went out to the Philippines
last August to teach an the public
schools. Their experience was not a
very happy one for owing to the mis-
fortune OF Miss T.. L. Gray's health
breaking down, they were forced to
give up their positions and return
home. Both remember Honolulu very
kindly as they were among the famous
crowd aboard the transport Thomas
which stopped here last July with sew
eral hundred teachers aboard.
After reaching Manila, the Misses
Gray were assigned to position at Pa
sig, which is about II miles out of Ma
nila. They did not teach more than
about six weeks for Miss e. L. Gray
became very i'll with consumption and
1t was decided absolutely imperative
that she should be removed to her
home in Missouri They lost no time
in resigning their positions and start
ing for home November 13. They left
Manila on that day for Hongkong
where they caught the Coptic.
I'VE are scarcely long enough in the
island" said Miss c. n. Gray this
morning, "to become very we'll ac-
quainted with the conditions there. In
fact, we were not thrown much with
the other teachers and did not in con-
sequence, hear much of their expert
ences. Some of the teachers who went
to the outside provinces found the
work far from agreeable. The cost of
living was quite high. In many of the
places, the teachers have begun to
teach night school, for which they re-
ceive $15 additional every month. The
children, and in fact, the adult Fill
pinos are very bright. When the
teachers first went to the schools, the
children did not know a word of Eng
lish but within a very short time how
ever, the pupils learned the English
language or at least enough of 1t to
understand. They are very anxious to
learn English In some of the schools
men sixty years of age attend. They
prove very bright pupils too
Although Miss Gray was rather re-
tcent about discussing the experience
of herself and sister in the school SER
vice in the Philippines, to fellow pas
sengers on the Coptic she was not so
guarded and is quoted by them as de-
claring that the Philippines were an
awful place. Life in those islands was
very severe and trying and it was hard
to get anything very good to eat.
| In speaking of the question of health
Miss Gray said today, THE climate in
the Philippines is very hard. Quite a
number or designations have been sent
/ in because the teachers were unable
to stand the climate. Indeed, l think
that this will prove to be the cause of
most of the designations. Just how
many have resigned l am unable to
say, for the school department keeps
those matters to itself. l understand
that Miss Mossman who is Honolulu
| girl, was not pleased with her position
and as they did not transfer her, she
resigned.

Filipinos Slow to Trust American

Colonel Coffee. with whose firm the

confess that looked upon them with a
Jaundiced eye however as the climate
there treated me any thing but kindly
l managed to lose thirty odd pounds,
while could comfortably dispense with
some of them, thirty in so short time
was more than had bargained for.
Things over there are generally get
ting more settled and the reins of off,
cial government have been drawn tight
er. The characteristic of the Filipino
seems to be an uncertainty as to the
meaning of the term friendship as offer
ed to them by the American govern
ment.. Friendship and peaceful tactics
seem to them to spell weakness. They

that the Filipino is not to be trusted

that l took down for instance, could
hardly have been more staunchly and
carefully boxed. 1t came out of the

when next | saw it at Manila there was
hardly piece that had a compile COW

things there in the Custom House with

caution.
But it is during the lightering and

suits. They throw boxes anyhow from

smash the happier they seem to be, for

The John Ii estate by j. A. Magoon
