Ten months ended April 30
Much Rice Imported.

With regard to imports into the is
lands. while their value for the ten
months of 1903 does not show so large
a gain as might have been expected I'M
der more favorable conditions, never
theless an average monthly trade OF
nearly S2.75O. 900 has been maintained,
this being somewhat in excess Of the
showing for the year previous. The i'm
portation of rice is still heavy, and Will
In all probability continue so for some
time. though it is hoped that the home
production which is being stimulated,
will tend TO greatly reduce the pur-
ehases from abroad.
Aside from rice imports, which reach
ed nearly $500, 900 worth in 1903, the
United States is supplying over one
sixth OF the trade in other commodities,
steady increase being made in such lines
as wheat -four, practically the total i'm
portation coming from this country,
canned salmon. meat products, illumi-
mating oils, machinery of different
kinds. paper. cotton goods, and leather
manufactures, principally boots and
shoes. the figures showing a constant
and growing demand for the American
make OF shoe.

THE PHONOGRAPH IN HAWAII.
Instrument Used to Preserve Old Song
Records.

The photograph has been resorted 20
as means of preserving, for the benefit
Of philology. and ethnology, the ancient
oils, or historical lyrics. of the Hawaii
ans These Oils contain the history OF
! the Hawaiian people from the time OF
the first migration, about 500 years be-
fore Christ. to the time of the discovery
of the islands by Captain Cook.
Many of them have been reduced 90
writing, and some have been translated
into English. But the older ones, OF
course. are in an archaic form OF the
language, understood only by a few of
the older and more erudite of the Ha-
waiians themselves, or by such whites
as have made a study of the subject.
To preserve the form OF the speech, the
information and the form OF the chant.
Prof. w. T. Brigham, curator OF the
Bishop Museum. has secured two Of the
best versed Hawaiians in these old oils
or chants TO intone them, according 70
the ancient custom
These songs viii be chanted into 4
photograph so that the records can be
kept.
The two who have undertaken this
work in connection with Prof. Brigham
are Laulani, a remarkable Hawaiian
woman, whose age. according to we'll
authenticated testimony. is nearly 100.
and Kamanaoulu, a fne-looking old
Hawaiian OF about so.
Each of these Hawaiians knows by
heart several thousand lines OF these
old oils, and between the two nearly the
whole history OF the Hawaiian people is
covered.-San Francisco Chronicle.

AMERICAN ATHLETES FRESHMEN

We have often been struck by the
astonishing number of Irishmen to be
found among American athletes II is
scarcely too much 10 say that the great
est weight putters. hammer throwers
and jumpers in Britain or the States
have all been Irish or of Irish extrac-
ton. The success of the Americans in
the Palma competition at Bisley,
though due in the main to the perfec-
ton OF their weapon, may be claimed
as an Irish victory. The first three
names were all Irish. surely an extra
ordinary instance of the way in which
irishmen come to the front as soon as
they leave their own country.
We have heard much lately OF the de-
generation OF British physique. 1t is
probable that the physique of the men
IN some parts of ireland is the best In
the civilized world, not excluding the
Sikhs; and perhaps the Tawareks only
excel them from among the less civil

rate-that is. 40 per cent reduction in

Mysterious Surveyors.

Mysterious Surveyors.
Despite the interest their actions have
aroused among the railroad men. and
the Investigations which have been
made concerning them, no one has yet
been able 10 discover for whom the par
ty Of surveyors who have been going
over a proposed railroad route from
Durbin. w. Va. to Fredericksburg. Va.
and the seaboard are working This
party has been in the field now for more
than month. and they have made a
thorough examination Of the small rail-
roads, and the gaps between the latter
in all of the territory. Naturally, the
Goulds. who have been, at one time or
another, reported to have bought about
dozen systems, are accused of being
employers of the party, but no facts
have developed to show that the~Goulds
have anything to do with them. Rail
road men, however. who are familiar
with all Of the troubles the Wabash is
going to have to get out West Virginia

seaboard are Of the opinion that the
GOuIds are seeking another line in ad-

called by them that the Goulds have
bought a lot Of ground at Newport

of the coal were 10 be shipped by
way of the Monumental City. On the
other hand these railroad men say the
line which the surveyors are going over
would give the Wabash direct outlet
TO the terminals at Newport News. six
hours only from the Atlantic Ocean
against a voyage of twenty-four hours
to Baltimore. From Durbin to Bridge
water there is a gap OF fifty miles which
must be built to connect the Iron and
Coal Railroad of the Goulds, with the
Chesapeake and Western. The latter
reaches EIkton, where it ends. making
another gap OF forty miles to Orange,
the western terminal of the Fredericks-
burg and Potomac. Fredericksburg is
the eastern terminal OF the latter line.
The line crosses the Richmond. Fred
ericksburg and Potomac at Fredericks-
burg, which would give such railroad
direct connections with six of the larg-
est systems In the country.
From Fredericksburg to deep water OF
the Potomac. or TO Newport News. the
distance is so short that a coal road
could be constructed at small cost, and
in quick time. AS a result of this spec
ulatiOn. local railroad men are wonder
ing whether the Goulds are not at work
