1t is to individual initiative that the

In the Richmond district, the sec.
tion located between Golden Gate park
and the neck Of the bay, several homes
are being erected and have been rented
in advance.
Still 1t is to the stretch OF land south
Of Market street that the people must
look for the rebuilding Of homes in suf-
ficient quantity to solve the problem.
Here dwelt the thousands OF the city's

1905 are q balance In favor OF the is-
lands for the hrst calendar year period
In the history OF the American occupa-
tion, and the advance OF American

$4,000, 600 In excess Of the exports for
1904. An increase OF $500, ,90e In

The increase Of $4,000, 900 In the

imports Of iron and steel and their

iron and steel trade Appropriated s3.-

most in the iron and steel trade with

formerly In tie lead. There is still
great room for improvement In the ex-
ports from the United States TO the is-

CANNED MEAT EXPORTS.
Japan Used Large Quantities During
War With Russia.


Washington, July 24.-Complete fig
ures OF the exports Of American canned
meats for the past fiscal year are shown
today In q statement issued by the de-
partment Of Commerce and Labor. The
value Of canned meats exported from
the United States In June. 1905. was

tity OF canned beef exported in the Is.
cal year was 64,523, $50 pounds, as
against SO, ,6ss, ,66s pounds in 1905.

most exclusively In the shipments to
Japan, which country took large
amounts Of American beef during the
wal, but greatly decreased her imports
on the disbandment OF the army. The
exports to Japan during the fiscal year
1905 were 2,S06,6 ,6sS pounds, against
1887, 1876 pounds In 1905, and in the

spring grain has been reported, as re-
suit Of unusually warm weather lasting
Tor several days, these reports are the
exception rather than the rule. Fall
sown grain was damaged but little, and

Late sown spring grain will improve

PAU RIDERS Of
Tue OLD TIMES

The published accounts of the Floral
Parade and the part taken by the pau
riders has stirred up memories of Ho-
nolulu in the 40's for G. B. Gilman of
Boston who lived here for many years
prior to 1860. In q letter recently
received by DR.. Serene Bishop, Mr.
Gilman says:
Il should like to have seen the big
Floral Parade, particularly the pau
part. That style was all the mode IN
the forties and fifties, from Queen to
wahine L always felt as if the mems
saddles were the only safe mount and
surely the gay colored satin, silk,

DEL EGATES RETURl
FROM WASHINGTON

J. r. Gait, Mark p. Robinson, Geo.
w. Smith and E. A McInerny, the
remaining members save one of the
Hawaiian delegation to Washington,
returned home in the Korea yesterday.
w. o. Smith and D. H. Case had pre-
ceded them in returning. The one
still lettering on the way is Mr.. Loe-
bernstein of Hilo. No doubt he is put
ting in some promotion talk some
where of a kind that did not fall with
in the talking commission of the dele
gates. He must be talking, at all
events, wherever he is. There is no
fear either, that he is not talking to
some good purpose.
Like the two formerly returned the
four delegates now home again are
warm in expressions of appreciation
of good and fair treatment by the
national lawmakers. And, like the
others, they find it impossible to say
just what fate awaits the refunding
bill.
None of them appear to think that.
if the bill pass this Congress, the term
of refunding IS per cent of the Fed
eral revenues collected here for public
improvements in the Territory will be
twenty years. Five years is about the
guess, with some hope of ten years.
Fifteen years would be a pleasant, and
the twenty in Kuhio's bill a startling
surprise.
Messrs, Smith and Robinson's visit
to the head office of the All. S. Co,
in behalf of a locally owned steamer
between here and San Francisco, has
been previously reported.
Mr. McInerny struck his only UNI
pleasant experience when almost in
sight of home He caught cold on
board the Korea.
There seems to be only one feeling
in the business community relative to
the mission of the delegate irrespec-
tive of whether it results in the spe-
cific thing sought or not. This is,
that they have done an amount OF
good work for Hawaii at Washington
which could not have been effected by
any less an imposing representation OF
commercial Hawaii.

Honolulu. Hawaii. Dec. 10. 1905.
Executive Chamber,


Honolulu, Hawaii, Dec. 10, 1905.
Dear Sir: Enclosed l hand you sup
Elemental estimates, as follows
Legislative expenses, Territory of
Hawaii, 1907: For legislative expen-
ses, namely: Furniture, light, station
cry, record castings and files, printing
and binding, indexing records, postage,
ice, water, clerk hire, mileage of mem
bers, incidentals, pay of chaplain,
clerk, sergeant alarms, stenographers,
and messengers, thirty thousand dol
lars: Provided, That the members of
the legislature of the Territory of Ha-
wall shall not draw their compensation
of two hundred dollars for any extra
session held in compliance with section
ffty-four of an act to provide a gov
eminent for the Territory of Hawaii,
approved Ayril 80, A. D. 1900.
There is omitted from the foregoing
the compensation of members provided
in the s'organic act, with the idea
that this should be met from local
funds. This amounts to $4,000 for
any regular session and $4,000 for any
extra session.
If this payment for the extra session
be allowed, it is but natural for every
legislative assembly to conclude that
it can not complete the business salts
factorily in sixty days and must resort
to an extra session. This has been the
universal rule since annexation. There
fore if this appropriation is made with
a proviso that the members of the leg
islative assembly shall not draw their
of 5000 each for any ex-
ira session the assembly might deem
necessary to hold. the necessity for
msst extra sessions would in all prob
ability disappear.
Very sincerely, yours,
G. R. CARTER, Governor.
