PURIST.

THE MANILA COMMISSARY SCANDALS.

The Manila Times, in commenting upon the recent Comminary Scandals, and the convic tions which followed, in ita issue of the 25th tilt remarks:There is considorable comment on the disparity of the sentences of Capt. Barrows and Lieut, Boyer, the former receiving five years while the latter is given only one Surprise is occasioned from the fact that they were both implicated in practically the sam case, and that, if either, Boyer was the instigator. A review of the cases, however, will reveal that Captain Barrows had five charges against him, one of which was ombezzlement, while the single charge against Boyer was not of such a grave nature. This ought to explain the disparity, in spite of the fact that Barzowe is farious of what he considera a rauk injustice, and vows that he will wreak vengeance ou Boyer for getting him into this row."

Those two cases, it will be son, have been confirmed and ordered to be executed by the Department Commander, evidently without any reference to higher anthorities.

This bears out what we have been saying. Article 10 of the Articles of War, which has

There was a large attendance in the House of Commons to-day in anticipation of the dis- cussion on the new export tax on coal

The fail House and galleries had to wait natil naurly 6 o'clock for the beginning of the debate. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Laboral, ted with a Revere, niest violent, arraignment of the Government. He said the tax would. throw the coal trade into chaos and confusion. It was nonsense to say the foreigner would pay the tax because he would not do without cost. The Government of Italy had answered that plea by taking cool from America instead of this country. The trade of France was equally divided between this country, Germany and Belgium.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, interrupting said. "We are beating the others."

Then go on beating them," said Sir William Vernon Harcourt. Why throw a shifting int. the soals against this country?" Sir William contended that it was class legislation and that the tax would ultimately come out of the miners' wages.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer admitted that the tax, like every tax, waa su obstraction ou trade.

The rask question was,could the export trade in coal bear the tax? It could. English coal was of such quality, there was much of it, and it could not be got in any other country, that, to a large extent, it was free from competition.

The Chancellor submitted masses of statistics, which he summarised as showing that 225,600,000 tons were mined in 1900, on which, after dedacting £18,000,000 in wages more

To the charge that missionaries have excited hostility by interfering in native litiga. tio in the interests of their converts in courte of justice, we need only say that even by the rarely Chinese officials themselves this charge is preferred against the Protestant soction of the missionary body.

It should, in the first place, be borne in mind that the resolution passed at that meeting were called for by the proposal of the Allies to evacuate Peking immediately after the reljef of the Legations It was fait, not only by missionaries but by the whole of the foreign residents in China, that such a course would be fraught with the greatest diaster, inasmuch as it would give sanction to further lawlessness.

As to the competition of the United States, Sir Michael Hicks-Besoh said: "Last year the price of our coal at the port of export ross very mach higher than the price of coel in the United States, bat in spite of that our export of coal was 38,000,000 tons, or 3,500,000 tons more than the previous year. The United States exports a little orex 18,000,000 tons. If the United States could compate, when the price of our coal was very high, it would be absolutely impossible for them to compete when the priest is the duty of every Christian government WITH A NAVAL BRIGADE have left the Godowns, and all Goods reunia. was low."
