MANUFACTURING PROGRESS.

Exports of manufactures show a
marked increase in the calendar year
1902, as compared with the year 1901
The total value of the 1907 exports of
manufactures, as shown by the figures
Of the Treasury Bureau of Statistics,
is $410. $50, 1857, against 1896, IA, O3O in
1901, an increase of $15,50O,000. Nearly
all the important manufactures enter
ing into our export trade show an in
crease, the chief exceptions being iron
and steel and refined mineral oil. Iron
and steel manufactures show a decrease
of over s4,50O,0OO, and mineral oils a
reduction of four millions. Copper
manufactures show the largest gain,
twelve millions; the next largest gain
is in cotton manufactures, which show
increase in cotton goods is chiefly in
cloths sent to China, the total exports
of cotton cloths to China in 1902 hav-
ing been $4,000, 900 yards, against 2O1,-
coo, 900 yards in 1901. the value in 1902
being s16,04S,45 against $10,224.215 in
1901. Agricultural implements show an
Increase of over million dollars;
books, maps, ETC., nearly million;
manufactures of fibers, nearly mill
ion; leather and manufactures thereof,
one and one-half millions; manufact-
ure.s of wood, over one million, while
wooden goods. paints, paraffin, jewelry,
india rubber goods. glass, gunpowder
and other explosives also show in
creases in greater or less degree. The
chief articles showing a decrease are
manufactures of brass, chemicals,
clocks and watches, musical instru-
ments, paper, spirits, wines and liquors,
and, as already indicated, mineral oils
and iron and steel, the reduction in all
of these, except mineral oils and iron
and steel being very slight.
The chief reduction in exports during
the year is in agricultural products,
which show a decrease of $12O,0OO,OOO,
of which twenty millions value is in
breadstuffs; twenty-four millions IN
provisions; nineteen millions, animals,
and ten millions in cotton; while to-
bacco shows an increase of about eight
millions, and fruits and nuts an in
crease of about seven millions. This
increase of seven millions in the expor-
tation of fruits is chiefly to the United
Kingdom, showing an increase of near
ly FIVE millions; and to France and
Germany, each showing an increase of
over a million dollars. The only other
great class showing a decrease is prod
ucts of the mines, in which there is
reduction of about four million dollars,
due to the falling off in coal exporta-
tons. which amounted to only eighteen
million dollars, as against twenty-five
millions in 1901.

KAUAI AND THE SCHOOLS.

The favor that the Republican Coun-
ty bill. which lea res school adn'inistrs-
ZION as il IS. fin d. With the R1J D. an
school authorities here is made the sub
iect of a mares nest sensation in the
Bulletin. One would think from the at
titude of that paper yesterday that
some dire scandal had been unearthed.
Instead We find nothing more than the
spectacle of Republican officials work
ing for the success of a Republican
measure and doing it in the most open
and legitimate way. The letters in
favor Of the educational status quo.
written by Secretary Rodgers, were not
dark-Iantern affairs and the secretary
has not the slightest. objection to their
becoming public. Why anyone should
think the contrary is more than he
knows or can find out.
AS to the special complaint of Kauai
gentlemen who hastened to give letters
to the press which they affected TO be-
lieve were private and personal, it is
enough to say that the figures of school
expenditure do not show that Kauai
has been unjustly treated. The total
amount paid out for school buildings
in the entire Territory for the eighteen
months ending December 81, 1902, was
9.10O.90. OF this amount there was
spent on Kauai s4,S31.25 or more than on
all the other islands together, Oahu in
cluded. Moreover, bids are now being |
advertised for to erect teachers cot
tage at Lihue which will probably cost
about $1,000.
1t may be added that one of the gem /
tlenen exposing" DR.. Rodgers is push
ing bill to give each of five counties
a superintendent of public instruction
at $4,000 per annum or $4,000 in all At
present he is getting $1,000 per year as
principal OF a school and would not
mind the $1,000 job at all. Naturally
he is much opposed to the continuance
of the present system which has the
marked dement, of saving for the tax
payers so much good money which
otherwise might be passed to private

motion was the only one before the
house, when Achi announced that his
amendment had been accepted.
Baldwin objected to a consideration
of the amendment, saying that he IA
vored immediate communication with
I the Governor, as the House might not
| be ready for business for two or fhree
days, and the Senate should not have
! its work blocked. Senator Dickey sec
onded the original motion of Brown
which was carried. The chair appointed
lauokaIani to wait upon the Governor.
and a, recess of five minutes was taken
to await the committees return.
MESSAGE NOT READY.
Senator Baldwin reported for the com
mittee upon reconvening, that the Gov
ernor was not at his office. and the mes
sage was not quite ready. He stated
that Mr.. Carter, who represented the
Governor in a way, though not official
ly had informed the committee that
the message would be ready as soon
as both houses were ready to receive
it. He stated also that the Governor
would be down at one O'Clock when
the message would be ready for deliv-
cry.
Isenberg moved an immediate ad-
journment until ten o clock this morn
ing which was Immediately seconded by
Kalauokalani.
President Crabbe suggested that there
was no necessity for such a long adj
journment, as the message would be |
ready at one o'clock and there was
the entire afternoon which could be
utilized. Senator Baldwin suggested /
also that the committee on rules could /
be appointed and some work accom-
plished. Isenberg then offered to with
draw his motion, but his second refused |
and it was carried by a vote of seven
to six, Woods and Isenberg voting with
the Home Rulers.
There was quite an attendance at the
opening session, a bevy of Kamehameha

HOUSE PARTLY ORGANIZED.

Fred w. Beckley opened the ball by
announcing that the hour having come
for organization he would nominate
James D. Lewis of the First District fol
/ temporary chairman. w. H. Coney
was chosen temporary secretary and
! w. ]. Coelho for temporary interpreter
= credentials committee was then ap-
| pointed consisting of Beckley, Aylett
and knudsen and upon motion of Ku-
| malae the house took a recess to await
report upon the membership of the
House.
| The credentials committee occupied
about fifteen minutes in its work and
Chairman Beckley read the list of mem
| hers as already published. On the mo-
ton of Keliinoi that the report be ac-
copied Chillingworth said that it might
be wise to delay receiving the report
as he understood that a protest against
the seating Of one member was in pos
session of the chair.
Beckley protested that the only bust
ness was the adoption of the report and
he thought there should be action at
once and that a Justice of the Supreme
Court be asked to Immediately swear
in the members. AS soon as the re-
port was accepted Beckley moved that
the same committee wait on a Justice
of the court to swear in members and
this was agreed to without dissent, and
the House went into recess to await the
committee.
Chief Justice FleaI appeared escorted
by the committee and the members and
the House standing the oath was ad-
ministered each responding with a
hearty Il do at the end.
Keliinoi moved that the House pro-
coed to organization but Beckley sug-
gested that the rules of the former
house be adopted as the rules of the
present house, so that procedure may be
regular. This was carried unanimous
II and Keliinoi wanted elections. This
too was agreed to and Immediately the
business was interrupted until Lewis
offered a message from the Senate but
1T was not read, and F. w. Beckley at
once and without any speech nominal
ed Jonah Kumalae and David Kupihea
named F. w. Beckley. The vote as
finally counted stood Kuamalae 10,
Beckley II.
AS Beckley's vote passed fifteen there
was applause from the gallery and
when the final result came the applause
was general. Kumalae at once moved
that a committee be appointed to es-
ColI the speaker 10 the chair and
Messrs. AnGrade and Purdy performed
this duty. When Mr.. Beckley took the
seat there was a ripple of applause and
he then said:
Il want to thank you for the honor
which 1 have received at your hands. |
There is much work of Importance to |
be done and 1 hope we will all work
together for the good of the people and
the prosperity of the Territory of Ha- |
wall"
Immediately he had concluded on mo- |
ton of w. W. Harris the House ad-
journed until 10 o'clock this morning.
