THE United States have from the start of their history been full of surprises for the rest of the world. Assaying to be free from old world prejudices, they have held themselves superior to old world experience, and have not hesitated to launch out for themselves into unarplored paths. Of the many methods that they have tried none is more remarkable than the extent to which they have developed what they call “trusts "". ---buge combinations of capital intended to force into one amalgamation of interests the practical comurand of some one, or several alled commodities; and of all these none is so extensive or likely to be fraught with

extending over some two years, this price lats been conceded, and the Caessa interests, as such, cease to exist. The capital concerned in this huge enterprise is worth noting; besides £62.500,000 in the
CARNEGIE associations, there are the Federal Steel Co. with a capital of £40,000,000, the American Steel and Wire with 226,000,000, the National Tube with £16,000,000, and so on till a total capital of £220,000,000 sterling is reached.
Mr. Cholmelay, the Commissioner at Manda- lay, in his annual report on the China frontier records the growing dissatisfaction among the Kashims at our inability to defend them from the incursions of the trans-frontier Kachins. The Chinese authorities are apparently helpless, and the Commissioner recommende exacting reparation from the raiders, who are really independent tribes and only nominally Chinese subjects. The continued absence of the British Cossal from Mouein, who could bring pressure to bear on the Yunnss authorities, is a disadvantage.
The Manila Aviciican in a recont issue gaverely criticises the Government for sentenc ing to death several insurgent officers for killing Filipino sympathisers with the American rule. The murders were committed by order of their general, Alejandrino, who instead of being tried for the offence has been given the chief inspectorship of buildings in Manila. contemporary prefages the articlo with the following trenchant headline: Ravage general is pensioned off with a government job, those who obeyed his orders stretch hemp."
