ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS,
APPROPRIATIONS, 700 MILLIONS, A HUGE INCREASE OVER LAST YEAR.
NEW YORK, June 8th. Congress has adjourned after making the appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1901. The appropriations for this year amount to seven hundred million dollars, being a large increase on all previous years, and ex- ceeding the appropriations for last year by 238 millions. The appropriations for. 1899 (673 millions), which provided for the enormons expenses of the war, are also largely exceeded. The increase is due to the large expenditures over the Philippine war and burdens connected with the colonial policy, to the large appto priations connected with the naval programme which provides for the building of a magni ficent feet, and expenditures to be made under the refunding operations and in other directions. According to the report of Secretary Gage the estimated receipts for the fiscal year of 1901 are-Customs, 240,000,000 dels, internal revenue, 300,064,000 dots; miscellaneous, 37,000,000 dols; total, 577,000,000 dels. Ex penditures-Civil, 115,000,000 dols; war, 116,000,000 duls., navy, 60,000,00 dola; Indian, 10,000,000 dois.; pensions, 145,000,000 dols.; interest, 400,000,000 duls. In this estimate, however, no allowance was made for refunding operations and for, increased expenditure in other directions.---Manila Times.
PANNY PAPERS DOOMED.
"My impression is that the 'penny paper is doomed. Prejudice and the conservative in. stincts of Englishing, nav krein stins of the
info years longer, but for all of them the handwriting is upon the wall?
So writes Mr. Labouchere in rat this week. Scen by a Daily fail representative, he said: "I do not think I ought to talk on the subject, for, as you know, I was once part proprietor of a penny noining paper. But the tendency everywhere now is for the penny paper or the threepenny daily to go. One of the nios famous of them is only kept alive, I believe, by the advertisements of auctioneers.
London has fewer newspapers in preponion to population than any great city. Compare it with Paris, or New York, or even any cond rate city on the Continent, and you are amazed by the difference.
Some of the well-established halfpenny papers make enorms profits. The New Fork World, I am told, once cleared a million dollars a year. Even now, when severe com- petition has cut into his balances, Mr. Pulitzer probably makes quite five hundred thousand dollars a year out of it. Now you know, as incumes go, that is a passable amount for a
man to have.
"In London, I believe, a large number of new ballpenny dailies will spring up. They will have a hard fight, for they will find the field already occupied. But in course of time we may find a umber of rivals, each with a small public, and clearing a profit of, perhaps, from
10,000.10 £30,000 a year.
"The old journals are too big, and, in conquence, have become mainly advertising sheets. Advertisements take a long time to go from them, but they do go. The old Convention that the authority of a paper in some way depends on its price is being shattered. You do not hear so mach now of the sneer at ha'penny rags. The world has found that with newspapers price and authority bear no relation.
"The ha'penny paper of the future will be, of course, very compact. If I were proprietor I would never have anything occupy a column that could be compressed into half Pay your space writers double rates if necessary, but make them-sut-out-all-the-padding-
"Then believe the ha'penny papers of the future will have special editors for the advertis. ing acctions, whose business will be to write interesting advertisements. For advertisers, as a whole, are very stupid, and do not know how to tell what they want in the most effective The advertisement editor will see to this, and will aim at making the advertising columns the most interesting in the paper. America has already set us an example in this wity.
way.
"The naditions of the old penny and three- penny daily 'ress are against it. Enormous sums are spent on long telegrams from abroad on subjects about which people at home feel little interest. There is lavish outlay, in many ways. The methods of the older journalism are too grandiose.
But it will be no easy task for new dailies to come in. The public' is a limited one, and people who regularly buy one paper will not abandon it for another without very good reason. They get into the habit of asking for one special journal, and they do not readily break off their habit,
And you must remember that very few people indeed buy more than one daily paper. Advertisements, too, are by no means easy to

THE TURRETS OF THE 'KEARSARGE."

In
The trials of the superimposed turrets on the new Kearsarge have been watched by naval constructors throughout the world with consider able interest. These turrets contain two thirteen inch guns with two eight-inch guns placed in Sirialler turrets above them, and the innovation has provoked an immense of discussion. The trials, far from putting an end to the discussion, have revived it with increased forco. It was predicted that the shock from these heavy Armaments would prove disastrous both to the ship and to the men in the lower turrets, but this prediction proved not to be true. The tria took place in the presence of Admiral Sampson, who has always favoured it, and he announces that the invention is a complete success. It was the purpose to fire the four guns simul- taneously in order to measure the full effect of the shock; the primer of one of the thirteen inch guns was defective, however, and so only three were discharged at the same time. spite of this tremendous discharge no harm whatever was done to the ship or to the crew. The inen in the lower turret were not affected by the discharge of the eight-inch guns nor was the accuracy of their fire disturbed. Admiral Sampson declares that no ship in the world could withstand the impact of those four pro- jectiles striking at one point with a force capable of crushing in the heaviest armor that floats. On the other hand, Chief-Constructor Hichborn has always been an opponent of the scheme, and his objections seam weighty. In battle, ho
says, there are twenty misses to one hit and by using the four guns simultaneously a tremendous waste of ammunition will occur, Then the thirteen-inch guns are intended for use against the heavily armored parts of a ship, while the eight-inch guns are for use against the lightly arimored ends and the upper works, As the turrets cannot be moved separately, all four guns must be used against the same part of the ship. Moreover, if the turret is disabled in any way, all four guns are put out of action. It may be possible to overcome there objections, but they are points that should not be over locked."
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JUNE 15, 1900.
AN AMERICAN ON BRITISH
RIGHTS IN SOUTH AFRICA..
colonists
Writing in the Bulletin, Dr. George Adams of San Francisco says:-A fact that every American should bear in mind is that just as the Union and its integrity is clear to them, so the British empire and its integrity are dear to the British, and that the integrity of the British empire is threatened by this war, one has only to read the views-of-the-anti-British critics to become convinced. Furthermore, if the British empire had deserted the half million of loyal South Africa it would not only in Great Britain has been accused of being deserve disintegration, but annihilation, mapacious, of being a land-grabber, but surely. the Americans are not the people to call her names, since they have done a little of this themselves, and they are also beneficiaries from the land-grabbing of the British, for they got some of it as an inheritance. Besides no American would replace this British Canada of today for a neighbouring French dominion, even if by doing so, it would relieve Great Britain of the charge of rapacity. The interest that America has in Canada to-day will in the near future extended to South Africa and other parts of the British Empire.
It has been stated in defense of the Boers that they were the first settlers of the country, but so also were the Dutch in Manhattan Island, the Spanish in Florida, the French in Louisiana and Mississippi and Canada, and the Mexicans in California, and British money❘ paid and British arms fought.for South Africa Just as the Americans and English have in this continent. Moreover, the larger part of the wealth of the country has h broncreated by British and enterprise they have built the callward and telegraphs and have developed the [-mines, and the main cities are mounments to their intelligent industry. It is also stated with truth, that the Boers have gone into the wilderness and contended with the natives at the expense of their lives, but it is equally trae that when the Republics were in the direst straits the majority of the inhabitants welcomed British arms and credit to rescue them, and during British occupancy a large number of British settlers were added to the population in expectation of the occupation being per- subsequent settlers, as the British treat the 'manent. If the Boers, had treated these, and
Bocts in Cape Colony,.all would have been well, but they failed to do this at least in the Transvaal. They have also treated the natives contrary to agreement, creating a danger which shamefully, and slavery has been practised threatened South Africa. The friendship of the natives today is almost whelly on the side of the British-a rather important fact.
A plea for American sympathy has been put forth, that the Boers represent two republics struggling for liberty, but they are not republics but oligarchies; and are struggling for special privileges and against the rights of others, and it is Great Britain that stands for equal rights. and opportunities, and for a true democracy. Greed of good is one of the accusations made against the British, but it must be reinembered that the mines are owned by private people, British, French and German, and the ownership will be respected, and not one dollar will ever reach the British treasury from this source can this be said of the Kruger oligarchy if they win in this war? Will not confiscation take place to a large extent? I think the accusa- tion more plausible if made against the other side.
A large number of people in the United States express sympathy for the Roers, but the sympathetic expressions rest on an Anglopho| Bia
and not on à Boerphilia.
I am convinced that a careful consideration of the whole South African question will lead an impartial investigator to the conclusion that Boer rule is not liberty, but that true liberty is under the British flag.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY.

This succesful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Joben, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind, and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

In dysentery, piles, irritation of the lower bowel, cough, bronchitis, asthma, and Same of the more trying complaints of this kind, it will be found astonishingly efficacious affording prompt relief where other well-tried remedies have been powerless.
THERAPION No. 2, for inipurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swellings of the joints, secondary symp toms, disease of the bones, sore throat, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to employ mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of the suberer's teeth and ruin THE CHINA & JAPAN TELEPHONE of health.
