OTHER PROCEEDINGS.

A lusty round of applause at the
conclusion of Mr.. Morgan's reading
should how well the report was ap-
preciated.
H. P. Wood, secretary and treasurer,
then read his report, also that of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee. Total
receipts were $13,122 .55 and disburse-
ments $12,971 .O4, leaving a balance of
$251.51. Active members numbered
102, an increase of SO, or As per cent
Three members were lost by retire.
ment and one by death.
The report of the Promotion Com
mittee reviewed it's work for the year,
which has been made familiar to read
ers of the daily press through the
weekly reports. In conclusion it read:
During the past year We have dis
tributed by mail and express through
mainland railway and steamship offices
and paid agencies a total of 267 1000
pieces of advertising matter, represent
ing a daily distribution of upward Of
700 copies.
Il believe that the committee has
earned the respect and confidence of
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Merchants Association, as we'll as the
entire community, in its work during
the past, and while thoroughly appre-
ciating the splendid help received,
hope that even stronger support may
be accorded during the coming year,
in order that several plans of merit
now held in allegiance for want OF
funds may be carried out.

scented:
ENTERTAINMENT.
In the way of entertainment during
the past year, the Chamber gave a
farewell lunch to Rear Admiral Very,
the retiring Commandment of the Ho-
nolulu Naval Station. We also contri-
buted toward the expense of the re-
ception accorded Rear Admiral Dayton
during the stay of his cruisers in port.
We were able as well to assist in MAX
ing Consul Gracey's visit peasant

to assist our local Yachtsmen in the
entertainment of the participants of
the Trans-Pacific Yacht Race
NEW INDUSTRIES.
The Agricultural Experiment Station
should be assisted and encouraged in
it's efforts to establish new shrubs,

REVISION OF LAND LAWS.
The Governor of the Territory is
now giving this important subject his
best thought and the Chamber of Com
merce stands behind him in this as
well as in other matters of vital i'm
portance to the Territory. Many 9TH
err suggestions will occur to you.
The Chamber of Commerce year just
of persistent effort with much good
work done. 1 believe however, that
though a great deal mas been accom-
plished in the past that even greater
opportunities for valuable work are
before us and 1 would call the atten-
ton of every member of the Cham
Der to the necessity for taking an ac-
tive interest in the work of the Cham
Der, submitting to the Trustees, ideas
that in their opinion may prove of
| interest to the Chamber and of bene
fit to the Territory. The Trustees will
gladly welcome any and all suuges-
tions.
Before closing this report, however,
/ would like to suggest and recon-
mend that, sometimes during each
year, the members of the Chamber
meet together at dinner, to be made
an Annual affair as a means of get
ting together, becoming better ac-
quainted and popularizing our work.
1 desire at this time to attest to
the valuable assistance rendered by
our Secretary, Mr.. H. P. Wood, during
the past year.
In conclusion, permit me to say that
it has given me the utmost pleasure
to cooperate with the members of the
Board of Trustees during the past
year in an earnest effort to carry out
the objects of the Association and to
make for the Honolulu Chamber OF
Commerce a name and place among
the leading commercial organizations
of the world. To each and every mem
all members of this Association, my
sincere thanks are given for their
hearty cooperation and 1 bespeak for
my successor the same good will.
Your attention is called to the re-
ports of the Secretary and Treasurer
of this Chamber and to the report of

4 KEY TO RAPID TRANSIT.

The offer Of the Interbcrough Rapid Transit

the Long Island Railroad Station 10 the Man
haitian Bridge, the line 20 run thence across 10
Manhattan al Canal street, where connection
would be had with the Third Avenue Elevated
Railroad for q single fare, is decidedly attrac-
tive, for, ike the present subway extension 10
the same place in Brooklyn. it would provide a
measure OF rapid transit without regard TO Dor
ough lines. But il is doubtful whether Brook
lyn would accept this short line from a section
which already has rapid transit as substitute
for the Fourth avenue subway. which would
give a speedy service through the whole extent
Of the borough TO Fort Hamilton: for il appears
that the building Of this line as proposed by
the Interborough would block the Fourth ave
nue project, its proposed route occupying the
hrst mile or so Of the route as laid out for the
Fourth avenue line, Moreover. the adoption Of
the Interborough's suggestion and abandonment
of the Fourth avenue subway would, al the cost
Of building mile or so Of subway, put under
the control Of the Interborough the best avenue

J.4PiN'.S FINANCES.

Confidence is expressed by visiting Japanese
statesmen and finaucers il the sOlyency and the
renewed prosperity of their country. That con.
fidence accords with the hopes of Americans for
japan and, indeed with their expectation. ar
least so far as the former condition is con-
cerned. Nobody. assume. has really doubted
the solvency of Japan. It has been recognized
that that country is carrying extraordinarily
heavy financial burdens. and that il may at
times feel somewhat embarrassed by them but
il has been taken for granted that il will man.
fully bear them 10 the goal and Will faithfully
discharge every obligation as il has invariably
done heretofore. The only fear was that its
financial burdens might doom it to some years
of fiscal stringency and hard times 1t will be
pleasant 20 believe that prosperity is promptly
returning
There seems ground for that belief in the re-
port Of the governor Of the Bank Of Japan for
1907 and in other current statistics Of japanese
finance and trade. Last year was undoubtedly
bad one for Japan. But that was largely be-
cause of tie financial disturbances and depres
sion in America which disastrOusly affected
Japan's enormous trade with this country.
There a notable falling of in japanese ex-
ports Of hGbutGi. or fine silks which find in
America, perhaps, their most important market,
and also Of cotton yarns and sugar. and this
decline went far toward accounting for the more
than :90.000.Opc balance of trade against Japan.
And that unfayorable balance Is the item which
is most Of all dwelt upon by critics as demon
stration of the bad condition Of Japan's finances

tended for domestic consumption showed de
crease. while machner" and material for man

that exports for 1907 were greater by S4.325,n0o
