ty-siN pages and gives a comprehensive
account of conditions in the Territory.
There was an increase in the value or
shipments out of the Territory not in
Guiding specie. over the previous year Of
Sl.4Sl,70S. The main part Of this increase
was in the one item of sugar. its in
crease in value over the shipments OF
the last period being 81. S90,5 This was
a decided Improvement over the COM
parative statistics of the years ended
June 30, 1901. and June 80. 1902 which
showed falling of in the value of SUI
gar shipped In the latter as compared
with the former of s.. l73 S10.41 although
the weight of sugar shipped Ia the latter
year was greater than that shipped in
the former by 2967a123 pounds.

show a steady increase in the produc-
ton OF sugar. the increase IA the year
ended June 20. 1903 OF sugar shipped be,
ing 5A2l2. o63 pounds over that OF the pre-
vious year and 1881, lS6 pounds over that

year ended June so. 1901. all Of which
would indicate partial recovery in this
product from the depression Of the year
to june 30 1902.
Rice is inevitably a diminishing
product both from the competition Of
the new rice fields Of Texas and Louis
lena, and the diminishing numbers OF
Chinese in The Territory.
A sight tarin on coffee is earnestly
advocated. as il has been found thar
under present conditions it is impossible
for the Hawaiian planters 10 compete
with the coffee imported from the
United States and elsewhere.
A Mixed Population.
The population Is made up OF Ha-
waiians. Portuguese. Japanese, Chinese.
Seandinavians. spaniards Britons.
Americans. and Germans There are
many marriages between Hawaiian
women and white men. and few be-
tween Hawaiian women and Cinnamon.

The Territorial Legislature is severely
criticised for its extravagant personal
expenditures, and il IS recommended
that It's accounts be subject to the con-
troll Of an auditor who shall have the
right TO reject items which do not ap-
pear 10 be justified.
The most promising crops for Ha-
waiian farmers are said 10 be those
for which there is q demand outside Of
the islands such as pineapples. castor
bean and sisal. Sisal has been intro
duced and two large companies are en-
gagged in growing the plant and manu-
factulkng it into rOpe. with fair success.
