THE LATEST STORY OF THE WAR
THE PITMEN FROM THE PIT.
The following is one of the latest war stories from home. Mr. Kruger has a near relative in London, so it is stated, and the President tole graphed to know whether, as every Britisher Seemed to be at present in or round about the Free State, there were many men left in Lon- don. The reply was that there seemed to be no diminution in London. A second message ardered the relative to visit Liverpool, Man- chester and Birmingham. The reply was to the same effect. These cities were as full as aver. The third message ran "Visit Newcastle." Back came the reply. Stop war. They are bringing people out of Hades," The colliers
по
were too much.
THE FOREIGN POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES.
In the Atlantic Monthly for March, ex- Secretary of State Olney has a paper on the growth of the foreign policy of the United States. Mr. Olney is clear that the isolation policy of the United States would have been abandoned without the Spanish war, and thinks that the war only hastened the abandonment, but he is less clear in condemning the direction given to the expansion policy of the McKinley admiristration. He thinks the ac quisition of the whole of the Philippine Islands was a mistake, but having acquired them, the necessary expense for the equipment of a large army and navy will have to be incurred, and he deprecates any material increase in the army, though favourable to a larger navy. The ex-Secretary falls to see the advantages given to trade between China and the United States by the possession of the Philippines, but re gards the possession and the attendant enor mous expense as more than off-setting the advantages of the most hopeful anticipations. He argues that the trade of the Philippines, however improved, cannot be considered a sen sible investment of trouble and expense by the United States to hold and govern them. The popular declaration that the flag, wherever raised, should never be taken down, is answered by directing attention to the fact that the United States never held by conquest anything more than the city of Manila, and that their title to everything else rests on purchase. Mr. Olney contends that the possession of Manila would have given the United States every neces- sary advantage in the China trade, and thus avoided the enormous cost of first subjugating: the islands, afterwards defending and governing them. He adverts to another view, which is considered of great importance in its future bearing, and that is, the possession of the Philip pines will force the United States to an alliance with some foreign Power. Mr. Olney says, emphatically, that had it not been for the friendly countenance of Great Britain, the United States would never have-possessed the Philippines, either by conquest or purchase, and be is equally as emphatic that if an ally is to be elected, Great Britain should be the choice, because "post formidable as a foe and most effective as dyfriend ; but he does not disguise that an alliance with Great Britain will probably be at the loss of the friendship of the other Powers of the world.
The position of the United States, says Mr. Olney, would have been more unique, com manding and influential in harmonising, the international disputes of nations, had they escaped, the occasion in consider that an alliance with any Power was a necessity, and this, he is convinced could have been done by a different policy towards the Philippines. The possession of the Sandwich Islands and Porto Rico, Mr. Olney does not think, would have mixed up the United States in European affairs as will the possession of the Philippines, and he is insistent that Con- gress should, exercise its function and make "Cuba in point of law what she already is in point of fact, namely, United States territory
the spectacle now exhibited of a President and his Cabinet sitting in Washington with an appointed surt of an imitation Presiden: sitting with his Cabinet in the Antilles mus: have an end."
With reference to the "open door" policy, Mr. Olney says:-"We can count upon the open door policy in China only if we can in fluence the Powers concerned in one of two ways by making it their interest to grant it through reciprocal concessions on our part or by a manifest readiness to back our demand for it by such physical force as they will not care to encounter. To the successful use of the first method, our Philippine possessions are a serious drawback if not an insufferable obstacle. If we claim the open door of the Powers dominating China, bow are we to deny it to them in our own dependencies?"
The paper from which the above views have been taken is a graphic and able review of the subjects treated, and such as may interest rea ders in the Orient, but it may be added that Mr. Olney plainly tells his countrymen that the high protective tariff is as much responsible for the isolated situation of the United States as any other cause, and so long as the tariff policy is adhered to the United States must appear inconsistent in demanding from other nations a freedom for trade which they are unwilling recognise. A more liberal trade policy would have expanded the commerce of the United States, and the expansion would have been on peaceful lines.

Hills, Captain F. Hitagskan The story of khaki. is one of the industrial Hamilton, M. romances of the century. The use of an olive Heise, F. dye in connection with the clothing of our Hansen, W. E. troops in India dates back for many years. How, A. L. The tint was devised, in the first instance, by Hahnekrug,
H. native dyers, who used for the purpose pigments Hing, C. C which they were unable to fix, and also unable Haines, T. C. to prepare in a uniform state. A traveller for Holden, E. E. Manchester firm was one day taking Hopkina Mlas a railway fourney in Northern India, and Hooker, Miss OM. found himself in the company of an Anglo Hale, M. Indian military officer. The conversation Ismailkhan drifted to cotton drill and the regimental officer Jackson made the remark that the first Manchester mad

Kyriacow, H. study the reason why the olive and brown Kwok Chit dyes hitherto used always washed out after Kappel, A. * few applications of soda. He put himself Kynoch, G.

Many experiments Keattle, F. were made, and at length an effective dye was Lange, W. obtained, but, unhappily,.it yielded at once to Legner, H. T. the soap and soda test. Instead of giving up in Leslie, Mr. H. despair, thetwoinventors pursued their research Laird, P...
and one day the dyer produced a piece of Liberge, M. C. fabric which upon being tested was found to Legarde retain its colour even under the severe applica Lord Miss H. P. tion of a caustic alkali. He was requested to try. Laudiaber, J. A. again, and again he failed. Then the two Lomox, R.
