Philippine Independence.
It is ölear from the telegram published in yesterday's issue that Mr. Burton Harrison, the newly appointed Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, has come out, contrary to previous reports, with very definite instructions as to the line of policy to be pursued in this unorganised territory, of the United States. While there is nothing new in the an nouncement that the polioy of the United States contemplates the ultimate independence of the Philippine Talande," a very de finito stop towards the realisation of that object is taken by the promise of the Governor-General to immediately give to the natives a majority in both House of the Philippine Legislature. Just be fore Mr. Harrison's arrival at Manila mueh interest had boon' aroused in what was regarded as the "first authoritative statement"! of his views, as reported in the following paragraph: I cannot
fix the date of the ultimate inde pendence of the Philippines by clook-work, but I believe that the proper solution to the question is the internationalization may exist similar to that which recently existed in the island of Crete. Then, guaranteed their inde- pendence and protected from the interference of any of the world Powers, they can take their
arrives proper stand among nations of the earth." A Manila con- 15-10-13.30-11-13 temporary has published a sum KATORI MARUTM 22-10-13 4-12-13 ranry of the article in thì SYRIA'

The Government has by no means been oblivious of its res ponsibilities, but its hands have been tied on account of the drain upon its resources of far-reaching
self-defence, of vigorous measures to frustrate them. Two years have passed since the revolution bat China is still a long way removed from the reforms aimed at by those who inaugurated and supported the change. Education, railways, industries, sanitation, were all features of the pro gramme and how these reforms have been retarded is known to every man on the spot. At the'. same time practical attention to local affaire has not been wanting
