EFFORT TO SAVE DIR. CRUM.
Senate Republicans to Try to Force
Confirmation of Negro.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington. April 22-The Republican majority
In the Senate has determined to make vigorous
effort to secure the confirmation OF Dr. William D.
Crum. the colored Collector Of Customs OF Charles
ton 5. G. before adjournment. even II the opDohi-
ton OF the Democrats is such as to threaten the
prolongation Of the session.
The propriety OF calling up the Crum nomination
in the absence of Senator TfIlman discussed at
last nights executive session. and It became evil
dent that the Democrats would present deter
mined opposition to such course but that will not
prevent sincere attempt by the Republicans 70
confirm the nomination which has been favOrably
reported by the Committee Commerce 1t IS
pointed out that Senate courtesy has been strained
to the breaking point by Senator Tillman already.
BY pursuing dilatory tactics Mr.. Tflman prevented
Crurn's nomination throughout the last session OF
the IvIIIth Congress. and has thus far prevented
action during this Congress
Il IS appreciated that the condition OF Mr. TIL
mans health is such TO constitute valid excuse
for his absence from the Senate the present time.
but It is also well known that during greater
portion OF the session Mr.. Timan has been present
In the Senate and that he has exhausted all tactics
to prevent consideration Of the Crum nomination
AT the hearings before the Commerce Committee no
charges were presented which commanded any re-
spect from the committee, the burden OF all MI
TfIIman's arguments being that Crum Is negro
Now a favorable report has been made on the
nomination. and there IS question as 20 there
being a sufficient number or votes 20 connrHl ~ ~
It is possible TO reach vote The only nope OF the
Democrats lies in fllbusterine.
Democratic members Of the Senate declare there
IS no precedent for considering nomination OPP
uosed BY a member OF the Senate in the absence
OF that Senator. and that. II the Republicans at
tempt TO force consideration OF Crum's nomination
In Mr. TiIlmans absence they will 'oDen the HOOD
gates OF Oratory' and talk against time until the
Republicans are forced to give up the night. Ihey
think that with two Democrats present. one To
relieve the other. they compel not less than
forty-fve Republicans TO remain in the chamber;
raising the point OF no quorum whenever there
appears to be smaller number present
Meanwhile the House IS rapidly completing It's
business and Will be ready for adJournment BY
Thursday next. that delay on the part or the
Senate would grave inconvenience to ,num-
be- of members at the other end OF the Capitol
Under these circumstances. ii IS probable that the
Democrats will prevent the confirmation as they
appear to have shame about hibUstertng-

THRIFT TO BE THE ISSUE.
Senator GalHnger Says 1t Is the
Paramount Question This Year.

Washington. April 22.-The General Deficiency
Appropriation bill occupied the major portion OF
the Senate's time to-day, but before IL was taken
m Ny Callinger spoke at length on the tariff
policy OF the Republican party. While the reading
Of the deficiency bin was in progress Mr.. Cullom
delivered a speech the House Chinese exclusion
rider. He expressed the opinion that there should
be explicit legislation re-enactng existing exclusion
laws but opposed the remaining portion OF tho
House provision and moved to strike IL out Mr.
Lodge also offered amendment excluding Chinese
and other aliens whose emigration is encouraged by
agreement with any transportation company.
in the course Of the day the attention OF tho
Senate was brought TO the amendment Of the House
to the bin for the government o. the canal zone
and some embarrassment was c-eRted by naming
Mr. German as Democratic conferree on behalf Of
the Senate in place Of Mr.. Morgan. who IS the
senior Democratic member OF the Committee on
Interoceanic Canals with the result that both Sena
tors declined to serve.
At the opening Of the session Mr.. GaIinger ad-
dressed the Senate the following resolution. In
troduced by himself:
That our continued prosperity nation IS the
best possible assurance that our nscaI poHcy ls
sound and stable and that its disturbance by leg
islation is warranted by the best interests Of
the people.
The resolution was the key TO the speech. He
said the financial issue and the cry OF Imperialism
had been eliminated from the political arena, but
It was evident that the tariff question must be
discussed. He said that tariff reduction would be
he quoted expressions from Democratic leaders in
support Of this opinion Mr. GallinEer reviewed the
tariff history OF the country. and asserted that
a result OF the tariff policy OF the Republican
party the country had been more prosperous in
the last years than ever before.
Senator Gallinger then discussed strikes. and said
that. while they had resulted In idleness that
dition was voluntarily assumed and not due
TO lack o. opportunity for employment. He placed
the Of the strikes OF 1893 at s1,OO0O00.OO0 He
also discussed the question OF export discounts
saying his policy IS practised by manufacturers
10 reduce surplus stocks and TO introduce new
goods. The policy IS not confined TO the United
States. he said. but IS quite common. He admitted
that some American goods were sold abroad at a
lower price than at home. but said the percentage
OF such sales was Insignificant reduce the
practice to a mere political bugabOo Concluding.
Nj. GaIliIser said:
We have ali heard OF the Iowa idea, the Min
idea and the Massachusetts Idea. But such
ideas cannot live long. The only idea that should
be cultivated is the American idea-the fiscal policy

THE COMMERCE OF HAWAII.

The information published in Mon
DAVIS Advertiser relative to the growth
of trade between Hawaii and the main
land. since annexation, has developed
the fact that Governor Carter took to
Washington with him some statistics
on the same subject, brought down
to June 80. 1903. These We're prepared
upon request from the White House III
the office of the Secretary of the Ter
rftory, Hon A l. C. Atkinson. and
cover a wider range of information
regarding Hawaii than the more gen.
eralized statement that originated with
the Bureau of Statistics in Washing
ton and which included all the outlying
possessions of the United States.
Secretary Atkinson's report showed
that since 1897. the year before the
annexation of Hawaii by the United
States, the exports from this Territory
have practically doubled, increasing
from s13 6S7, 799 during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1897, up to SIG, 242,869
during the year ending June 81, 1913.
Within the same period the imports Of
merchandise from the United States
have more than doubled, from $4,690,075,
in 1897, to $40, S4O,472 in 1903. Last year
the balance of trade in favor of this
Territory was SIS, 100000
A remarkable exhibit is made by
comparing the trade growth per capita
of population in Hawaii which shows
an increase from $131 up to $247, under
annexation, for every man woman and
child in the country, a total per capita
of trade that is more than eight times
greater than that of the trade per
capita for the entire United States.
Thus:
HAwAIPS PER CAPITA OF TRADE.

THE JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS.

Readers of the Advertiser for the
last few years have no need Of the as
surance that the appointments to the
sunreme and Circuit benches are very
gratifying to it. The men named are
honorable and highminded lawyers. OF
those who are retired Mr.. Justice Perry
is the only one whose going is the oc-
casion for regret. But he is a young
man and has an opportunity to make
himself felt, if he4ives, forzrnany years
to come and in high professional and
political relations.
Chief Justice Frear and Associate
Justice Hartwell have been special op-
jects of attack from those who recos-
nfzed them as barriers against public
wrong-doing Only lately concerted
effort was made to stigmatize the
Chief Justice as a man who had helped
tn make laws while sitting on a bench
and had then used his judicial powers
to annul them. Judge HartWeH mas
been steadily abused by a small faction
for many years Yet the President,
reviewing all the facts, has seen MT
to visit these gentlemen with an ex-
preston of his highest confidence. 1t is
evident now, as it unfortunately was
not. four years ago, that the judicial
interests of Hawaii are safe in the
Executives hands.
In the Circuit court appointments the
President, counseling with the Govern
or. has shown the same wisdom. In
Kauai the veteran Jacob Hardy has
been reappointed. In the Kona district
of Hawaii, Mr.. Matthewman, one OK
the best of our young lawyers, sue
ceeds Judge Edings. Hilo gets c. r.
Parsons. the law-partner of Carl ;.
Smith and a representative of the best |
and largest class of Republicans there
in place of the undesirable Judge Lit
tie. His appointment will at once take
the Hilo judiciary off the ground and
put it on the woolsack.

EXPORTED

All of this sugar is sold in New York
or San Francisco and it affords cargoes,
for American steamers and sailing yes
sells, amounting to almost 100000 short
tons besides the smaller shipments of
coffee, sisal, fruits, hides, etc.
Last year there were 81 steamers and
211 sailing vessels that entered at Ha-
waiian ports from the Mainland, and
247 cargoes of 299, 5S4 tons left this
Territory for ports of the Mainland in
the same period, all of these cargoes
being carried in American bottoms
Only five American vessels, of 4,2Ss
tons register, left here in ballast while
twenty vessels of foreign nationality,
Of 25,597 tons register, had to go else
where in ballast seeking freights. AS
a matter of fact, one American vessel
leaves this American Territory for the
Mainland every one and a half days
with a cargo produced on American
soil for the consumption Of the Amer
lean people.
