close at the Pallippines alie: the
war with Spain. They do not profess to be disinterested in their advice, nor to look at the question from an American point of low. They frankly admit that the eccupation of the Philip- plocs by either France. Germany or Great Brt tain will subject the relation of European Powers to a dangerous train, and they favour per- manent Americas control of the group la the in- terest of peace.
They are sensible of the great advantage which Rogland would derive from the moral and diplomalle support of the Uolted States in all quesitons relating to China and the Far East Il the American flag were raised at. Maolla for all time As Engilshmen with practical instincts, and Ir fluenced by consider tions of enlightened self-interest, they are outspoken and emphatic fo expressing their hope that Ameriw enlarge her sphere of activity in the world's diplomacy and work,
Lord Kimberley has been at the head of the Foreign Office, and is one of the most cautions and gacious leaders of the Liberal pasty. The speech which he made at the American dinner this week was of great significance and has been widely discussed" bere. "Among other things he sald :—
"A carr mos language, although a very strong bond between peoples is not the strangest bond.
A far stronger one is a commanliyal interest. The Interests of the two proples ran largely an the same line, and they could look forward for friendship which may be enduring and for the beseft ef both countries."

Tas Casko J the, an organ of conalderable, weigh', appens with an arilcio that is at least remarkable for lis fudependent split, far it rider with Spain in the ending war and is desd galant permitting the United States to get s permanent foothold in the Philippines. The majority of Americans are evidently in favous of retaining the valuable Islands notwithstanding the annruacement of President Mckinley that the peace to me do not include a y such action The modest terms in queation, by the way, are apparently taken cum grand by the Galko iho. The wilter ibīnks thre they have been given out solely with view of calling out the.comments bath of | the American and European nations. The Fil recently hit the nall on the kend when it remir. ked that the acquisition of coaling simtions in the Pacific was an indication of the ambitious policy of that country, and moless the signs of the times are totally misleading America's cam. mercial community ban prelly well made up its mind not to let the Pallippine wealth'get foto other hands The question which concerns Japan is whether she would be more benefitted by the Islands' retention by America or by their belɛg given back to Spelo-thanks to the "in Atence" of Germany and other strong PowerS whore ald would be rewarded, by the leases of desirable stations
