THE PHILIPPINES QUESTION.
The public disappointment over the latest news from the Philippines as to the Inconclusive character of the operations has, says a New York correspondent, again awakened the demand for the recall of General Otis. That purposely couched his cables in terms that would support the belief cultivated by, or on behalf of the Administration there is how the doubt. The New York Herald says that the ummy cannot continue its exertions another month without the campaign creating sickness Samany
the men. And the campaign cannot now be ended before ten months, according to the best opinion among the officers with the army in the Philipines, as with the military Authorities in Washington,
Business protesta against the continued blockade of Philippine port have resulted in instructions being given to General Otis to opieu all the ports of the islands at rapidly as they can be garrisoned. This was determined on the 12th Dec. at the Cabinet meeting.
General Olis's advices as to the capture of Mahini, the insurgent leader, are regarded by the officials of the War Department as the most important news which has been received from the Philippines for some months past. Mabini is an old man and paralysed, but he is recognis ed as the real leader, the man with the brains, of the revolutionary movement.
The War Department has also received a message from General Otis, in which it is stated that Aguinaldo has become a fugitive, and 15 hiding in the mountains in Northern Luzon in disguise. The bodyguard of the insurgent chief has been destroyed, and he is deserted by all his followers except a few chosen friends. The administration bases strong hopes on this dispatch, and now fully expects that the end of the insurrection will be brought about before the close of January.
A Washington telegram, dated 14th ullo sintes: In the House of Representatives to-day Mr. Williams, Mississippi, introduced a joint resolution, which is the result of a consultation between the Democratic leaders in the House and is undersinod to be expressive of their general position, declaring that it is the inten tion and purpose of the United States to recognise the independence of the Philippines and withdraw their forces from the islands, provided the independent Government agrees to refund the $200,000 paid by the United States for them and to give the United States a suitable naval coaling station and grant thems in perpetuity free access to all Philippine parts. The resolution also pledges the United States to give the Philippines their friendly assistance in guaranteeing them against foreign interference or aggression for ten years, during which time the foreign affairs of the islands will be under the control of the United States.-L. & C. Express.
RUSSIAN VOLUNTEER FLEET.
Some of the information furnished by our Consul at Odessa in regard to the Russian Volunteer Fleet is of a very interesting nature. Ten years ago' this fleet consisted of seven vessels, with an aggregate displacement of 21,154 tons. The largest vessel had a tonnage of 3.500, and the highest speed attained was thirteen and a half knots. With a new cruiser now building, the feet will number fifteen vessels, five being "ercisers" in the proper
senge
of the word. The contract speed for these cruisers is nineteen and n-half knots, but, as a rule, the merchant service speed is thirteen knots, the maximum of the other vessels of the fleet. The Belleville boiler, it is Interesting to note, is in favour. As regarde the passenger accommodation of this fleet, it is of a high order. The fare from Odessa to Wladiwosteck varies from thirty-eight to fifty guineas first- class. Second-class accommodation there. none, but usually there are two grades of third- class accommodation. The parts of destina. tion are Whdivostock and Port Arthur, Emigrants are carried in large numbers, and are mostly agriculturists who are settling in Eastern Siberia. An exodus of artisans and trained factory hands from European Russia has also comnienced. Some idea of the import. ance of the service may be gathered from the fact that the number of sailings from Odessa. for the Far East in 1898 was thirty, of which only ten were foreign vessels. Of the cargo, 50,400 tons were Govemment stores, milway material, and amunitionsof war, and the remain. ing 26,048 tons were ordinary merchandise. Soldiers to the number of 18,000 sailed for the Far East during the past five years, but only that period. A recent 20,000 returned during decree of the Russian Government, to the effect
that the carrying trade between Russian ponts must be confined to the Russian flag, will come into force next January, and the effect of this decree in Russian shipping will doubtless be marked. As regards the control of the Volun teer Fleet, the present regulations are in force until 1902. Under these it is provided that a subsidy is paid by the Exchequer to the extent of 600,000 rublos (£63,830) per annum, on the condition that in each of the ten years 1893- 1902 the tonnage shall be supplemented by fast steamers of not less than 8,000 tons. Vessels of the Volunteer Fleet must complete annual ly not less than seven voyages at fixed dates between Odessa and the Far East, and ports of call include Nagasaki, Hankow, Korshkof, and Din, a port of Saghalien. A limit is fixed for tariff rates. The responsible officers of the fleet must be Russian subjects, and the ships are to be manned gradually by sailors selected from among the recruits of the Imperial Navy, who are considered to be on active service so long as they are employed by the Volunteer Flest The fleet is under the control of the Minister of the of Marins, enjoys exemption from payment of dues forthe right of trade and commerce, and ite affairs are administered by a committee selected by the Imperial authorltica,···, ·
GERMANY.
A WEIGHTY.SPEECH BY COUNT VON BULOW
Count von Bülow on irth ulto, in his speech In the Reichstag on the new naval-proposals, Justified the increase of the navy from a political point of view. He declared that German policy
to middle neglecting and overdoing transoceanic Intereste. Alluding to the warlike changes and revolutions of the last few years, he said ;-
I cannot yet believe that a new partition of
the earth is imminent. We wish to interfere with no foreign Power, but neither do we with to allow our took to ba
trodden on by any foreign Power, nor to let ouselves be pushed aside (hear, bear)-elther in a political or in an econ. omic sense. We cannot stand apart giving no lized to the prospects of the future, which have been considerably modified during the last two years, because we now have interests in all parts of the world. The powerful vitality of the German people has involved us in the Adairs of the universe, and has drawn us into the politics of the world in the presence of Greater Britain and a Nouvelle France we have claims to Greater Germany, not in the sense of conquest, but in the sense of the peaces ful extension of our trade and of our points of support (Cheers on the Right We cannot, we will not, suffer that people shall past to the order of the day and ignore the Gorman people.

us
(Cheers on the Right, laughter, on the Left.) Your laughter does not mislead me for a mo- ment. We have always come easily and readily to an understanding with France in the hitherto isolated colonial conventions which have been made with her. In this respect we have also found in Russian spirit of friendly accommoda tion to which we fully and wholly respond. Cheers.) The President of the United States in his recent Message expressed himself concern. ing the good relations between the United States and ourselves with a warmth which fills with sincere satisfaction, and so far as Great Britain is concerned we are willing and ready to live in peace and concord with her on the basis of full consideration. But reciprocity and reciprocal just because our external position is now a favourable one we must use it in order to secure ourselves in the future, I with--we all wish that our future may be a peaceful one. Whe. ther this future will be peaceful no one can say. We must be secured not only on land but also on aca against surprises; we must create a fleet strong enough to exclude an attack- underline the word "attack," for, in the absolute peacefulness of our policy, it can never be other than a question of defence-to exclude an attack, I say, by any Power. German foreign policy is neither covetous nor restless nor fanci- ful. The fanciful plans which are here and there attributed to us in the foreign Press are founded on pure invention, and if voices have risen here and there in the German Press which have struck a different note, they were inspired from no authoritative quarter nor had they any authoritative sanction..
I am simply fulfilling the duty of my office when I say, in perfect calmness and without any political acerbity, but with absolute con viction, if we do not build a fleet adequate for the protection of our oversea enterprises, of our trade, of our countrymen in distant lands- I remind you of what is now going on in Venezuela, where very considerable German interests appear to be very seriously jeopardised, and whither we can send only two or three old training vessels, of our missions, of the security of our coasts--we are endangering the most vital interests of the country. But in order to give a plain proof before the eyes of the world and of foreign nations of our determination to create a fleet adequate for defensive par. poses it is, in the opinion of the Federal Go vernments, indispensable that the rightful effective of the Beet should be fixed by legis lative enactment.-L. D. C. Express.
WARM PLACES."
Some facts of considerable interest with respect to the extremes of temperature are given in Symons's Meteorological Muganing. The hottest region on the earth is said to be on the south-western coast of Persia. For forty con- secutive days, in the months of July and August, the thermometer has been known not to fall lower than 100 deg., night or day, and often to run up as high as 138 deg, in the afternoon. Not withstanding the fact that no water can be obtain. ed from digging wellseven 500 ft. deepa compara. lively numerous population contrive to live in this torrid part, thanks to copious springs, which break forth from the bottom of the Persian Gulf more than a mile from shore. The water from these springs is obtained by divers, who dive to the bottom, and fill goatskin bags with the cooling liquid, and sell it for a living. The source of these submarine foun- tains is thought to be in the green hill of Osman, about foo or 600 miles away. The Red Sea is notorious for its heat, and at Massowah a reading of taa deg. Fabr. is given as the night temperature on one cccation. Some exccption ally high temperatures also occur in Australia. The highest reading an record for Melbourne is 111 deg, at Sydney 108 deg, and at Adelaide 116 deg, this being the highest shade tempera- ture during thirty-nine years ending December, 1896 At Wileaania, in South Australia, the thermometer has risen as high as 125deg., in the shade, and no one occasion the temperature is given as 110 deg, in the middle of the night.
