utmost hospitality and he had no words

kindness.

WASHINGTON, November 25.-See-
rotary Ballinger, of the interior de-
partment, makes but two recommends
tions of immediate interest to Hawaii
in his annual report, which will be
given to the public next week. These
are for the amendment of the land
laws of the Territory so as to encour-
age in every way practicable the dis
position of the lands in small parcels
to settlers, and the suspension of the
coastwise navigation laws between the
mainland and Honolulu.
The secretary devotes less than a
page of his report to Hawaii. The an
nual report of Governor Frear has not
yet reached the public, but usually the
secretary's output under the heading
of 'tHawaii'' is taken in the main
from the Governor S report. The sec
rotary has gone over the advance proofs
of the Governor s report and is pretty
familiar with its contents. All he has
to say about Hawaii is contained in
the following:
''This Territory, which consists of
eight principal islands having an ag-
gregate area of 66l0 square miles, has
an estimated population of $4,000. Of
this number about 5000 are japanese,
$4,000 are Chinese, and 5000 are Ko-
reans. The Hawaiians and partHa-
waiians number about $4,000. Of the
remainder 1900 are Americans, Brit
ish. or Germans. $4,000 are Portuguese,
and 5000 are Spanish, Porto Rican, and
miscellaneous. The number of Japan
csc resident in the Territory decreased
during the year; the number of Portu-
guese is increasing An additional in
come tax has been imposed, from the
proceeds of which several hundred
thousand dollars will be available for
the encouragement of desirable immi-
grafton.

$3,051. 526.s1. an increase of $3s1,77s.-

FROM WAHIAWA TO WAlKIKl

When the Honorary Commercial Com
missioners of Japan shouted Banzail'
from the deck of the japanese liner
Chiyo Maru late yesterday afternoon
as the vessel left her wharf and steam
ed out for Yokohama, it was their fare
well to the last of the ffty-fve Ameri-
can cities in which they have been re-
eeived and entertained. The entire day
was spent in and about Honolulu, and,
as the guests of the Honolulu Chamber
of Commerce they were given every
opportunity to visit interesting places
and to be assured that Hawaii has a
true aloha for Japan.
That this sentiment was appreciated
by the distinguished visitors may be
gathered from the statement of Baron
Shibusawa, the chairman of the com
missioners, who said that in his opinion
Japan and America would now have
closer commercial and more friendly
relations than ever.
In spite his threatening conntenance,
Jupiter P'pvius refrained FROM inter
fering with the visiting party and the
entire days program comprising spe-
cial train trip to Wahiawa and Eva and
an auto trip to the Pail, Aquarium and
through the residence part of the city,
was carried out without mishap. The
chamber of commerce entertainment
committee was aided by many others,
including number of ladies who as
sisted in receiving and entertaining the
ladies of the visiting party.
At the head of the visitors party
was Baron Shibusawa, Japan's Pier
pont Morgan, whose influence in the
commercial advancement of Japan is
acknowledged not alone in the Empire
but throughout the world. He is man
of short stature, but his shoulders are
surmounted by massive head. His

VISITOR ATTACKED
BY HEART FAILURE

Struck by an attack of heart failure
while leaving the Governor s office yes
terday, S. Morimura, an engineer of
Toxic, tainted in the lower corridor Of
the capitol and was with difficulty re-
vived.
He was passenger on the Chiyo
Maru and called at the Governor S of
fee to pay his respects in company
with I. Hayasaka. He remained out
side while his companion talked with
the acting governor and while descend
ing the steps was suddenly overcome
and hastily assisted to a chair in fne
lower hall.
Four or FIVE minutes work over him
brought him back to consciousness and
although very weak he was assisted in
to a hack and to the vessel. Both are
booked for Yokohama.
