P.S ---It has occuned to me that reference la thed moussin la the House of Commons co the ast Marca on the China Question may serve a urial parpie at the present time. Sir E.

He gusted the vague Russian assurance respecting Part Arthur (which was then understood by some members of Paillament to have been cocupled by Russian warships and troops) "That any port leased to Russia would be open to the ships of all the Great Powers, like other ports on the Chinese mainland,” and he wound up a brief and pithy speech with the assertion that "the territorial Integșity of China, is absolutely essential for the maintenance of Britishcommerce and is îl sence, and the territorial Integrity of China can only be secured by an alliance with japan and an unders:andlog with has committed a terrible outrage in England.

These three articles are the main charter of our commercial position In China. We cannot consent-I do not think any Bridst Government would consent to their abandonment or fotraciton. Our third principle is that of-free-commerce and the la tegrity of china, and we belleve they are most ikely to be secured by throwing, open China 10 the commence of the world instead of locking up the country in watertight compartments. We belleve that the more clvillaed Powers you la terat In China the more likely are you able to malatalo her lategilty and her welfare.

PHILIPPINES WORRY THE ADMINISTRATION.
WASHINGTON, August 3rd.
An interesting question and out of vital Im- portance to the Administration is the attitude to be assumed by the United States toward the Philippice Insurgents in the event that we reach 40 agreement for the suspension of boatlities with Spain. It is stipulated in our peace terms that the United States military forces shall occupy and establish a military form of govern. ment over the city of Manila and the bay, with the surrounding territory. This involves an tor- mediate surrender of the Spanish forces, not to Aguinsido but to General Meritt, and there is now apprehension that the insurgents will rejest this
bitterly and that it will be necessary to sex expel them forcibly from the territory described. Beyond this, it is vaté la xome quarters that, pending the declilos of the Peace Commissioners As to the future of the Philippines, the United Stales will be morally bound to malolain the atatu quo in the island at large. In other. words, having deprived Spain of the means of resisting the onslaughts of the insurgents, has been urged thin the United States would be bound prevent the latter from con- | tlouing thele waalne.

He was seen by the police but was not in fit state to give any Information.
The deed was committed in such a dexterous way that nobody on board had the slightest alleg of it, and it was only shortly before the Caplain'e return about 5 p.m. that, the mata wis faurd in the state above described. As sirong suspicions rested on the ship's cook, the captain hed him plac dat nece in trons. It seems that the cook had some trouble with the male during the day and it is alleged that the former told several members of the crew that before the night was over he would do something that he would gel years Instead of meaths for.
When it became known in the forecastle that such an atroclous deed had been committed oc board the ship, Indination among the crew rate to auch a pitch that the Captain had all be could
do to protect the accused from being, perhaps,

After placing the cook in frans the captain forthwith applied to the authorities to have the man arrested, but he could get no one to move In the matter, the reason alleged being that the big was outside the harbour flits. The naval authorities were also applied to, but with the same rezut. The accused was therefore confined in a cabin on bord until this forenson when Cont: table Brun proceeded on board the ship and brought the man ashore under a warrant fased by H.B.M Patice Magistrate. The hearing of the case has been set down for to-morrow maraing. The accused who is a slim bulit man, when brought to the Consulate, stoutly denied baying bien the perpetrator or having the slightest, kaowledge of when or by whom the crime was committed-Mercury.
