TROUBLE IN HAWAII.
President Determined to Restore
Peace and Unity.
George II. Carter, n Prominent Poll
tician of Honolulu, Summoned
to Explain the Situation in
the Islands.

Senator George II. Carter, of the leg
islature of the territory of Hawaii, is
now in Washington, as a sort of COM
missioner to President Roosevelt, to
inform him as to the political situa-
tion in Hawaii. Carter is a well-known
young business man of Hawaii who
was elected to the last senatorial SEN
ate on the republican ticket. A few
days ago, when Hawaii was agog with
reports that Gov. Dole was about to be
removed and Samuel Parker was to be
put in his place, Carter received per-
sonal letter from the president, invlt-
ing him to make a statement of the
situation in the territory. The letter
was complete surprise to the recipi-
ent, who has never met Roosevelt and
did not know that the chief executive
was aware of his existence.
Carriers task is compared in Hawaii
to that which President Cleveland i'm
posed upon the late j. III. Blount, of
Georgia, when the latter was sent to
Hawaii, after the overthrow of the
monarchy, to investigate, as para
mount commissioner" what had taken
place, and report to Washington.
Since Carter received his letter, he has
had much the same experience as
Blount had, having been called on by
party leaders of all kinds and business
men generally, who were DESTROYS OF
getting their views before him before
he left for Washington. The presi-
DENTS letter indicated that he expect
ed Carter to write statement, but
Carter preferred to see the president
in person.
In Hawaii the impression prevails
that the action of the president por-
tends general reorganization of the
territorial government. Ever since
the organic act by which Hawaii was
made territory went into effect the
islands have been torn by political dis
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1902-03-21

sensions. There has been a contin-
uous campaign against Gov. Dole, the
main movers being the royalists of the
old days and their sympathizers. Wis
itors to Washington have followed one
another, large number of them try
ing to have Dole removed, though no
charge has ever been brought against
him such as would warrant investiga-
tion,, or be a reason for removal. Just
before Carter received his letter it
;was reported in Honolulu that the
president had decided that in order to
bring about harmonious administra-
ton in the new territory it was best
to ask for the resignation of Dole, and
it was also reported that Samuel Par
ker was to succeed him.
Senator Carter, says the Washington
Star, comes from one of the oldest
white families in the Hawaiian islands.
His grandfather arrived in the islands
before 1880, reaching there on whaler
and settling in the country. His father
was H. A. p. Carter, a successful man
of affairs in the islands, and his
mother was the daughter of the late
DR.. g. P. Judd, the man who negotiated
the treaties with France and England
by which both countries agreed to
keep their hands off the islands, and by
which, it is generally thought, the i'm.
dependence of the islands were pre-
served up to the time when America
took them.
Senator Carter was born in Hawaii,
1869. He entered Yale (Sheffield Sci
entific schooD with the class of 'SS,
after preliminary education in Oahu
college, Honolulu. He was a member
of the Yale varsity football team for
three years, in SO, 'S7 and 49, He was
one of Yale's oarsmen in ST and 'ss.
He returned to Honolulu in 1896, and
is now the treasurer of the Hawaiian
Trust and Investment company, the
Hawaiian Electric company and the
Hawaiian Fertilizer company, all very
successful corporations. He was elect
ed to the first legislature and was one
of the hardest fghters against some
of the frivolities of the home rule law
makers During the bubonic plague
epidemic in Honolulu nearly two
years ago, Carter was made chairman
of the citizens financial committee
which took charge of the finances of
the very expensive quarantine and
campaign against the disease for the
board of health.
1t is thought in Honolulu that if
President Roosevelt decides to ask for
the resignation of Gov. Dole he will at
the same time call for a number of
other designations. The judiciary is
involved as well as the executive de-
partment, and cleaning out there

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Insurance.

The report filed by Insurance Com
missioner berth shows the withdraw
al from business in the state of nine
foreign and Is American companies.
One of the Americans was Mime
sofa concern. The reason given for
withdrawing was lack of business.
The average premium rates on each
500 given by fire insurance companies
was 1.34, an increase over the average
for 1900 of .03. The average premium
rates received by the American COM
panies was 1.26, against 1.67 received
by the foreign companies. These fig
ures, said the report, show clearly
that the foreign companies carry a
very much heavier percentage of haz-
ardocs risks than is written or carried
by the American companies. On the
other hand, it is an indication that the
American companies get larger per-
centage of the preferred class of risks.
The Mutual fire and Lloyds compan-
les wrote $12,211, 1872 of insurance, an
increase over 1900 of $5SS,O44. The
premium receipts for 1901 were $780,
391.29, decrease from 1900 of SIS, 1856.
The losses for the year were sos, 39O.57,
a decrease from 1900 of $3S,517.42. The
loss ratio to premium is 43.13, and the
average premium rate per $1OO is 1.35.

Many Casualties.

The logging industry of Northern
Minnesota has claimed more victims
this winter, it is claimed by men who
are in touch with it, than in any pre-
vlous winter, and the number of seri-
Gus but not fatal accidents are num-
bered by the hundreds. There is
scarcely day that somebody in the
woods is not reported as having been
killed or desperately injured. Many
OF the injured may be seen walking
the streets of Duluth, after their hos
pital experience, in many cases Grip
pied for life. 1t is said that the usual
precautions against accidents prevail
everywhere, and the increased number
of killed and the MANNED may be at
tributed to the greater number en-
ployed.

A question Of much Importance to
this section is discussed in the Re-
view OF Reviews for May by G. C..
Bovey, who writes on 1.-The Fallacy
OF Exporting Wheat" He says
1.-The interests of our great railroad
systems are best served when the
greatest development Of the various
industries Of our country is studied.
That it is best for this country to
manufacture into flour the 600, 000. 900
or 700, 100000 bushels OF wheat which
it yearly produces no one will gain
say. II, however, wheat continues
to move out OF this country, as it
does today, at lower rates than flour,
IL will not be long before all foreign
markets are closed to American flour.
Other countries are buying our per-
fected -four machinery and send
ing to this country their expert mil
lers to study our methods. Given,
therefore, our wheat at a lower rate
Of freight than they can import our
flour, and given our machinery and
methods, it will not be long before
they will produce in their own coun-
tries an article which will be the same
as the flour they have heretofore
bought from the American manufac-
turers.
"It would seem that the transpor.
tation companies would see the dis
advantages to themselves, the farm
er, the miller, and the community in
general in failing to study the best
interests Of the American flour in
dustry. This evil can be easily rem.
edied by the transportation COM
panies agreeing to let flour for export
enjoy the same rate that is given to
wheat for export plus the slight diff
ference in the cost Of handling the
flour over what IL costs to handle
wheat"
