THE Postmaster-General of South Australia states that the annual loss of revenue if that Colony followed the example of Britalo and accepted the imperial penny postage would be between £3,000 and £4,000. That, however, is a small matter compared with the loss the colony would sustain if the falaod rate were reduced to a penny, which would necessarily have to follow. Some years ago calculations made for the whole of Australia and New |Zealand showed that the loss by reducing to the penny rate would be 150,000) The Agent General for New Zealand, who opposed the extension of the scheme to Australia, has told an interviewer that he thinks speed is much more important then cheapness fo the matter

MANILA NOTES. (Prom Our Resident Correspondent,)
MANILA, August 17th. Since the capture of the city talutions batwaon the rebels and the Americans have bean grid- dalis growing more and more strained and it is now reparted on feltly gasd authority that they, the rebels, have at fast mide up their minds to try conciseless with the Americans. The Y that they have been fighting the Spaniards for years and now the Americans come in and take the whole piaca over with navara (hought || for them, the rightful owners of the soil. Many of them thought that the Americans werea great and glorious nation who cared molbing for dollars but want to war wita Spilu from almply kumvai- tarlan motives. They thought that the Ameri- caos wanted nothing more than to fres the poor Cubans and Incidentally they siin decided to da the ime for the pass Filipinos, and that once Spata had been humbled to the dust, then it would be Cabs for the Cubans and the Pallipplass for the Fillipinos. Then Agui- naldo was to call upon Dewey and Morilt and say "Thinks noble friends, you have released us and we can now inks care of ourselves," and the Americans would hire des pated. Now the Filipinos have suddenly awakened to the fact that the Americani tre not half gach fing follows so they thought them and hara decided to try and outt them toɔ.

All that they want is for the priestu sud the afficials to leave them alone for a bit, but now they are beginning to ballera what the Spaniards and tha Manila papers have been telling them of the cruelty of the Americans, who are the exterminators of the coloured races, and as they are a very Irresponsible lot with m very low estimate of the value of human ille they now say, “Let . us exterminate these Americans?"

Such a poslifon could not have ksen reached without the support of the Belifsh Government scling through its representative is Peking, Sir Claud Macdonald, with the friendly co-operation of the Marquis Salvago, the Italian Charge, sisa acting for his Government. They felt that they owed an unqualified debt of grati. tade to these gentlemen for their support, which gradually grow stronger as they became better sware of the importance of the concession and the fact that the two Governments at home, appreciating lis commercial value, encouraged them to support the company's representatives in the fice of the most strenuous opposition da the part of the representatives of other Powers, granting this assistance, in view of the fact that The Government recognised the accessity of
other Governments were so vigorously support. ing applications made by their subjects for cancessions. He desired to testify to the extra- ordinary ablity displayed by the Chavaller Lussaill, the Agent-General of the Sydicale, to the negotiations during the last twelve months. It took a period of more than six months to secure the ratification by the Tanng-il Yames, without which no concession fa. Chlas had any valus. The shareholders were to be congratulated that ils was the first occasion on which the seal of the Trang-il Yamda had been affixed to such a concession in favour of an English company. The province of Shenal extended from the Great Wall of China on north almost so far as the Yellow River on the south. It had an area of over 50,0-2 iqanie mlles, and a population of over 15,000 000. Its asstern boundary was 110 miles west of Peking. Their pengineers reported, after their visit, that Buzon Richthofen's statements about the district were marvellously correct. They further stated that there were oli indications over the greater part of South-West Shansi.
