WASHINGTON LETTER..
from cur Regular Correspondent

A great throng filled all the seats

display of flowers upon the desks q

American beauty and bride roses.
chrysanthemums OF all colors, lilies o.

large bunch OF pure white roses graceo
the desk of S. nator Smoot. The first
two Senators to appear upon the foo
were Messrs. Platt aud Depew of New
York. They came in a full half hour
before noon. Depew was very
sprightly and appeared to be well fed
for man of his years. It was evil
dent that he enjoyed being the centre
of observation. Senator Platt seemed
very weary and feeble. He walked
softly and with caution. sinking
languidly into his seat. Perhaps he
was thinking of the time when as a

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IA, 1904.

The comptroller of the currency says
in his annual report that the United
States has had most marvellous
growth IN wealth and commercial i'm
portance. He adds:
stAlmost every year all previous
records are broken in the volume Of
our internal trade, our exports, and
imports. The people Of the United
States have become the richest in the
world, and the natural resources of the
country are so great that this is sure
to continue ard increase for many
years to come. The amount Of bank
clearings and deposits and the money
on hand in the banks increases in
every portion of the United States at a
most remarkable rate.
In spite of all this however, we do
not seem to be taking of proper rank
and position in foreign and interna-
t;onal banking. One Of the chief
difficulties encountered by all mer-
chants and manufacturers in extending
their trade with foreign countries, and
especially those of South America and
of the,orient, is the lack of American
banking facilities and the necessity of
doing this business largely through
VI ,izc
Importance to the question of an
American mercantile marine, as it is
volume and character of our foreign
trade.
The comptroller would therefore re
commend that national banks having
capital of 81, 900, 900 or more and loca-
ted in the reserve cities be specifically
authorized to buy AND sell foreign ex-
change; to accept bills drawn on them
selves, payable not to exceed four
months after sight and to issue letters
of credit; and also to open and main
tain such Offices, agencies or branches
as may be necessary to conduct this
business in foreign countries, Porto
Rico, the Philippine islands, the Ha-
waiian islands, and the Panama canal
zone.
The worlds banking power in 1890,
as estimated by Mulhall was SIS, 985, :
900 1000, the United States being Gre
dited by him with something less than
one-third Of that amount. The present
estimate. compared with Mulhall's
shows that the banking power of the
United States has increased since that
date by IS, 676, 900, 900 or 168.47 per
cent, and that of foreign countries by
So, 946, 900. 900 or 82.57 per cent, the
combined banking power Of the world
having increased since 1890 from
$15,9S5, 900. 900 to $33 6OS, 900, OCO, a
total ratio of increase of 1925 per
cent.
There are in the United States 1858
local building and loan associations
with total membership Of 1866, 900
and assets amounting to $579. 556, 112,
a net increase in assets for the year

as to whom they would put on the

who suddenly sent in his resignation.
A number of prominent men in the
party were sought and offered the

as one of the strongest conservatives
in the party was approached but he
wouldn't have. it. Col. Mccarthy said
he was not in any race for office, as
his business demanded his attention.
Jack Low was mentioned as a prop
able successor to wolter. In fact it
remained for the party to caucus on
candidates, and this was left to a meet

REPUBLICANS RALLY
THE KAKAAKO VOTERS
John GandaI Makes An Eloquent Speech In
Hawaiian Ed. Towse Defends Carter's Ad-
ministration---AyIett and Others Talk.

At the Republican mass meeting helt
last night in Kakaako the orators were
numerous and all talked along the same
general lines in the presence OF a large
and enthusiastic crowd. In fact. the
meeting became so enthusiastic that a
Home Rule meeting conducted about a
block away was stripped of it's auditors
until only the speakers and half dozen
.dyed-in-th -the-wooI Home Rulers remain
The Republican meeting was held in
the glare of two great fare-lights on
Queen street near Ward avenue, be-
tween the rows of tenement structures.
James Quinn presided and with brief
speeches introduced the various speak
ers
VIM. Aylett said that if the Kakaako
voters stood by the Republican party,
and therefore by the administration,
they would continue TO receive benefits
as they had since the last session. He
pointed to the macadamized streets
which ran through Kakaako and the
electric lights which have replaced the
darkness at night. He referred to Lili-
kalani as Kuula, the God of Fishes.
With the magic stone Of the god, by
which the god caught innumerable fish,
Lilikalani would go forth in the dis
trict and catch votes.
In similar figurative terms he refer
red to the members of the Fourth Dis
trict ticket and asked the voters to
stand by it from top to bottom.
The chairman referred to Kakaako
as now being a precinct separate and
distinct from the others, a feature which
had been visited upon Kakaako for the
first time since the days when Kameha-
meha I laid the foundations of the
city. What the voters should do in re-
turn for having this honor thrust upon
them was to vote full Republican
ticket The Hawaiians. he said, were
the most generous people the world
over, and this being the case, he felt
they would only be adding to their
laurels in this respect by throwing their
full strength to the Republican ticket.
E. W. Quinn. the plumber candidate
for the lower house spoke briefly and
to the point in behalf of his candidacy |
He asked for the Kakaako vote, first, |
because he was a Republican. and sec
ond. because he believed that that party |
could give the Territory the best and |
most economical government. He was
also a working man. He had always |
been a working man. and had begun |
to earn his own living when only ten
years of age. If he was elected the
Hawaiians need not be afraid to come
TO him with any proposition in reason. !
and he would take pleasure in listening
to one and all. He said he intended
to make a clean fight for office and to
refrain from personalities.

the next speaker. Following him came
Ed. Towse, who made the first reply to
the Democratic attack on Governor
Carter and his administration.
DEMOCRATIC ATTACK REBUFFED.
ION last Saturday night said he,
sit occurred to our Democratic oppon-
ents to produce an entirely new issue
in this campaign. They say it is not
whether the Republicans, Home Rulers
or Democrats will win, but they say
now, practically, We shah fight now to
determine whether or not George r.
Carter shall continue to be Governor
They challenge US for our support and
aloha for the Governor, because we be-
lieve he is the man for the place, and
because he is true friend of the Ha-
waiians. think you will all agree with
me that if this is the challenge they
send forth, that we can not only meet
it. but fight it and beat it.
''Now they don't undertake to say
he proposes to do, but they say Car
ter has not done this and has not done
so and so. 1 will tell you a few things
that Governor Carter, the favored son
of Hawaii, has done in these islands for
the benefit of the people at large.
1T is not necessary to go back into
ancient history to discover that Carter
is the kind of man we like, and his ad-
the kind that we can sup
port. You all remember the great fire |
in 1900. I was there and saw a good deal |
of George Carter and saw the good that |
he did, but I did not see Iaukea or
Motley there, but also did see Prince
Kuhio there.
Garter took the homeless people in, |
and went down into his pocket to pro-
vide for them, as also did Prince Kuhio.
In time he became Secretary of the
Territory, and when it came to obtain
ng relief for the sufferers by the great
fire of 1900 he was party to sending
i man to Washington to obtain funds
rom Congress to this end, and he OBJ
aimed about a million dollars for Ha-
vail.
Then it was necessary to send some
me East to dispose of the fire claims
ponds, a business man, and George r.
carter was sent. He disposed of them
o the advantage of the Territory. and
t is that money which you are now
njoying. There is a plan now to OBJ
ain another million at the next session
o spend among you. This is Re-
ublican plan.
