THE COMMERCE. OF NEW YORK.
Material Gain In the Aggregate Vol
ume of Business Over 19O1.


New York, Jan. 3.-The official re-
turns of the commerce of the port
of New York for 1902 show a material
gain in the aggregate volume of bust
ness as compared with 1901. Some
idea of the increase may be had from
the fact that nearly $4,000, 900 more
in duties was collected than in the
previous year. Imports of merchan-
disc, exclusively, were larger by about
$4,000, 900, but domestic merchandise
exports declined to the extent of $24,-
00e, 1000, approximately. The imports
of gold and silver in 1909 were about
s. 5000, 900 less than in 1901. The eX-
ports of foreign gold and silver were
somewhat greater in 1902 than during
the previous year, while exports of
domestic gold and silver, were, in
round numbers, $50, 600 900 less.

N TOUCH WITH HONOLULU
Cable Connection With the Ha-
waiian Islands Completed
New Years Night.
THE CABLE IS WORKING PERFECTLY.
The First Message Sent Over was
One of COngratulatfon from Gov.
Dole of the Hawaiian Islands to
President RooseveIt-Is Ready for
Business.

San Francisco, Jan. 3.-San Fran
cisco and Honolulu are now connect
ed by cable. The first word passed
over the ocean a few moments after
IL o'clock Thursday night. The wire
worked perfectly.
The Silvertown, just before splic-
ing the ends, some 30 miles off shore
from Honolulu, telegraphed both ways
of the land stations to wait until
11:10 o'clock, San Francisco time, be-
fore trying the cable. That time was
desired to insure the perfect harden
ing of the gutta percha in the splice
after the joint should be lowered
overheard from the ship in about o.
500 feet of water.
Some Anxious Moments.
Operators sat a%nxiously and eagerly
about the instruments in King street,
at Honolulu, and in the cable office
on Market street, in San Francisco,
waiting for the time limit to expire.
San Francisco was watching for Hon.
olulu to signal first.
A few moments after II o'clock,
before the time limit was up, a sig
nal went from this end to Honolulu.
That first little response from Hon
olulu came into San Francisco at ex-
actly at 1903 o'clock. 1t was exactly
SAL in Honolulu, the time difference
being two hours and % minutes and
q few seconds.
The First Message.
The first message received was
from Gov. Dole to President Roose-
welt. 1t was merely a formal greet
ing and cong%ratulation from the peo-
pie of Hawaii to the people of the
United States from one chief execu-
tive to the other. The message was
transmitted at the Market Street Of
fee to a wire leading directly to the
executive mansion at Washington and
receipt was acknowledged at 1925
o'clock.
When the message reached the
White House, President Roosevelt
was asleep, and the operator refused
to awaken him.
Greeting to Clarence Mackay.
Right after the Dole signature on
the first message, came a second
through from Honolulu. 1t was a
greeting from the people of Hawaii
to Clarence H. Mackay, president of
the cable company, congratulating
him on the completion of the cable
and expressing sorrow that John w.
Mackay had not survived to see the
instantaneous bond between the is
lands and the American continent.
This message was signed by Henry f.
Cooper, secretary of the territory of
Hawaii.
First Press Message.
Then came a message from the
press correspondent on the Silver
town, telling of the successful LAYING
of the cable and of the celebration
of the event in Honolulu. The paper
ribbon containing the record of the
first experimental words between San
Francisco and Honolulu was cut into
little sections of a few phrases each,
and divided among the score of spec
tators who were assembled about the
instruments when San Francisco and
Honolulu first spoke to each other
under the Pacific ocean.
The line is now Open for business.

NEW EXPERTS

Not being satisfied with making for

claim that they can tell the difference

different operators. In a recent law
case where a long typewriter docu-

that one of the pages included had
been substituted for another sheet. AL
though to a casual eye all the sheets
seemed to be the work of one hand ex-
perts showed that the spacing was quite
different, especially between the end OF
one sentence and the beginning of an
other, and on the substituted sheet the
new paragraphs began in quite a differ
