sionarics arrived in 1920 they esti-
mated population OF 10000. which
was q lower estimate by several thous-
and than that made by Captain Cook
when he discovered the islands in 1878.
The census of 1872 gives q native pop
ulation OF only 1924, and that OF
1900, 29.7S7. This Is startling de-
crease. If we add to the last figure
the 7,s4s part Hawaiians, we still have
10000 less than the census OF the year
1872. There were only 1888 Chinese
on the islands in 1872, butEin 1900 we
find 25.762. Tho increase OF the Portu-
guese. who have been imported as Ia
borers on the sugar plantations during
the last few years, Is still greater.

outdistance them all. there being none
on the record books in 1872, While the
census OF 1900 shows 61,115, and 1t is
probable that 5000 more have come
since then. Experiments have been
made in Porto Rican labor, but with
little success The Portuguese have
proven to be superior to them, and the
Chinese the best Of all. But our ex-
clusion act on the mainland, and they
