respect for Britain's wonderful record as a colonizing power and if we shall launch out in q similar.lines we will have much to learn from her and may, even find it necessary to loan some of her distinguished colonial agents to assist us in our labours. Not that we have not men of quality and integrity but that they lack actual experience in governing Asiatics.

KIND WORD FOR SIAM.

Before concluding I wish to speak a kind word for Sinas. With Bangkok only 1,250 miles away and connected with Hongkong by a regular line of steamers, there is a certain amount of local interest in this wonderful Kingdom of South Eastern Asia that should not be allowed to flag. Having a population of 8,000,000, an extent of over 200,000 square miles, vast areas of fertile and productive lands, an annual foreign trade of $40,000,000 of which Great Britain controls four-fths, a King of acknowledged ability who is earnestly trying to lead his people to a higher plane, and a people well disposed to foreigners even if lary froin city, Bangkok, of 400,000 population which is at once one of the busiest and yet most typical Asiatic cities Siam indeed has a bright future provided only she takes advantage of the opportunities afforded her to progress, and Great Britain does not desert her in her

THE PROPOSED NEW MARKET

MAAT TAIPINGSHAN.

In his report for the year 1898 Mr. Ladds, the Colonial Veterinary Surgeon, alluded to the proposed new market at Taipingshan, and in consequence Dr. Clarke was instructed by the Sanitary Board to ask him if he had received any official instruction from the Government on the matter, and if not what authority there was for the statement in his annual report.

would be heartily approved by the Philippino leaders and people. With the experience of the past in other countries, numerous improve- ments and changes in its workings 'could, be outline in the necessary treaties. How long period must pass before the Philippinos could exercise such semi-independence would Largely depend on their own offorts. The United Sutes are not moved by a mere spirit of ¦ conquest in holding the islands; they have them and they cannot surrender them either to the natives or to any one else until convinced that they are taking the wisest course. The Daited States have assumed a mighty re sponsibility not only to themselves and to the atives, but to the world, in occupying the islands and they cannot return them to the former sovereignty, sell them to another

formal permanent management until their course ecems entirely justifiable and necessary.

I have said, and been quoted as saying, that America shall surrender contro of the Philippines she will forever relegate herself to seconday position in the Pacific. That I may be better understood I would explain that con- clusion in this way; if the United States shrinks from the duty devolving upon her in the Philippines, surrenders all the advantages gained, and fails to improve the open and legitimate opportunities of the situation; and dues not so solve the problem as to possess at least an important, naval station of base of commercial and strategic action and policy, such as Subig Bay, or other point equally good, she will be guilty of flagrant disregard of her best interests and in all probability fail to command the position in the Pacific and Far East that she deserves, and to which she is Bow Entitled.

NO IMPOSITION OF AULE.

The Philippines are wrong if they suppose That the people of the United States have ever intended or planned to furpose any kind of rule on them; on the other hand it has been and is the intention of the President and people to give the Philippines that kind of administration which is best suited to them. No matter what may be the nature of exciting telegrams sent over the wire either from the Philippines or the United States, it is best that both sides should remain cool herded and peaceably inclined until the coming commission shall have had site, to have studied the situation Carefully and reported in detail to the home

government.

In all this discussion of what is wisest to be done the spore free both natives and Americans can keep from prejudice the better. To say that this on the other must be done is foplish and provocative of pouble.. Although I have been watching developments. ever since last May, man at admit that at this very moment I am undecided in my own mind, as to what is attogether best.

At one time one settlement seems eminently satisfactory and just; again the same seems. equally unsatisfactory and unjust. It is only by weighing all considerations carefully in the balance, as I trust the Commission will do, that an honorable, righteous, and acceptable conclusion can be reachel. In the meantime, let us hope that no spack will fire the powder mine Rail that the armed forces of both sides will be governed.by wise restraint, and allow the his authorities to settle with negotiations when fought otherwise only be accomplished by great look of life and vast expenditure of money,

HONGKONG'S FUTURE,

has been my privlege to pass though or visit it at frequent intervals. On each occasion have noted improvement and action. With the Kowloon district enlarged see reason why Hongkong should not become a great manufacturing as well as shipping and distributing centre.

Add to that the proximity to the Philippines with their increasing trade exchange and you have a bright future that the clouds of temporary duiness or starkness of business or trade cannot dim.

IN CONCLUSION.

In conclusion I have but a word to add. My address this afternoon has omitted much that I would have enjoyed discussing, but I have endeavoured not to cover the same ground in the main as my remarks at Tokio and Shang bai. If therefore I have failed to consider divisions of the subject that would have especially appealed to some of you I trust you will pardon my inability to be en. firely comprehensive." Moreover, repeat what I said at the begining, I have made no effort at oratory or rhetoric but have con- tented myself with a plain tall on the situation. As fer my opinions and views I do not claim that they are infallible but trust that they approximate the truth. I am still a student, not a professor of Asiatic peoples and politics. As you have honoured me by listening atten- tively to this address, I feel that I have had fall recompense for my efforts in the character of my audience.

wmte to the Director of Public works as

follows In answer to your query as to the space likely to be required in the new Taiping: shan market, I should say that very small accommodation indeed would suffice, being of opinion that there would be little or no demand for shops or stalls in a market which, would be so badly situated and so for away from the sea, It is, however, very difficult to say anything definite upon the subject at all, except that it is the most unsuitable site which could have been chosen as far as the market people (both buyers and sellers) are 'concerned. "Mr. Ladds aded," The above statement is I think sufficient guarantee warrant the reference made to the subject in my annual report for 1808.

The Vice-President (the Hon. F. H. May) minuted. It seenis odd to decide a question of the site of a new market without reference to the Sanitary Board, which is chiefly responsible through itsofficers, for the management of the markets, and whose clay it is to devote special- attention un all questions of food supply, which is one of the principal factors in the minten- ance of the public health. I think we asked the Government before for information re the site of a new market to replace the existing Western Market: should like to see the corres- pondence."

A long discussion took place at the meeting- of the Santory Board this afternoon on the question, and ultimately, on the motion of the Hon. F. 1. May, seranded by Mr. Dyer Ball, the following resolution was passed That the Board regrets to learn that it is centen- plated to build a new western market on the resumed area at Taipingshan. and desires to place its views on the subject before His Excellency and the Government, if it is not too late for the Government to re-consider the

matter.

Mr. Granville Sharp, in supporting the Chairman's proposal, made a brief speech, in the course of which he said that the chief result of the late war was the drawing together of the British and American nations which would be recorded as the principal event of the nineteenth century. This drawing together of the two nations made for peace on earth and good will to man, for now no other nations could fight without our permission.

THE GREATEST SEAPORT IN THE WORLD.

In the imports London is easily first, but in exports she comes after Liverpool Liverpool imports amount to 104,851,000, and those of London to £155,640,000. The exports from London are eighty-three millions, from Liver paol over ninety millions. London's principal import is wool, which amounts to eighteen out of twenty four millions' worth that annually reach us.

The effect in the Far East should be much the same whether the United States governs the islands as a dependency or grants them autonomy with certain reserved rights. They will be oăm to cómmerce and trade and afford a wide feld for development of resources as never before and hence exercise a quickening influence on the entire Far East: As to the matter of customs, larits and the open door, the chances of securing the latter might even be greater with an independent government than with exclusive American control, although I am England's totalcustoms revenue is 22.123,000, satisfied that the United States will not inten, and of this London yields £9,650,000, tionally adopt any policy prejudicial to foreign or three times as much as Liverpool, six interests beyond the actual requirements of the times as much as Bristol, eight time as much situation, and it is even possible if the present as Glasgow, and nine times as much as Bel. treaty is ratified that all nations will have fast. equal trade privileges for twelve years under the most-favoured-of-nations principle from the fact that Spain is given, for that period, equal rights in imports with the United States. To set argument at rest I might add that no definite understanding has yet been reached in regard to customs laws beyond continuing in force the present system until a new one shall be devised. It is doubtful if any important "change will be effected within a year. I have supreme confidence in the good judgement of President McKinley and believe that the greatest monument to his career as our President yet be the happy settlement of the Philip pine question.

Of the Philippinos and their leaders I have already spoken in Tokio and Shanghai For them I have more kind words them severe criticisms. If they are led by wise counsels and not carried away by the enthusiastic shouts of the more excitable element, they will aid their own cause. Taking into consideration the entire history of their connection with the situation, I think they are entitled to a fair hearing in determining the future of the Philip pines. Comparing them with other Asiatics of similar type, appearance, and habits, it can be said that the test is in their favour.

ADMIRAL DEWEY AND GENERAL OTIS.

It is my belief that Admiral Dewey and General Otis are doing all in their power to conduct nifiirs to a successful conclusion and, considering

all the difficulties of the situation, are entitled to whatever credit is given them. I am also of the opinion that it is the sincere desire of General Aguinaldo to avoid a conflict He is a man of discretion, no matter what may be said against him and he realizes fully the hopelessness of an actual war with the Americans his followers will exercise equal restraint, the difficulties of the hour will be

lessened.

In judging this whole Philippine question, I would appeal to all Britishers whose country is skilled and experienced in the aft of colonizing and managing alien races to mingle their eriticisms of America's policy and men with charity, and remember that we are striving to While we think that we have the best form of Government for the United States we admit that

was never planned with reference to present conditions and hence we are confronted with the gravast problems that can only be solved after long study. We ditertain deep.

GREAT INDUSTRIAL ADVANCE,

Russian industry is making rapid progress:- Within the Jast few years cotton mills and factories have sprung up in all parts of the Empire. Where at one time they were content with Manchester goods, the German gradually crept in with the cheaper article, better adapted to Russian tastes and requirements. Presently their ambition rose above this, and they asked why they should not themselves become pro ducers. Factories were started, English ma- chinery imported, and English foremen and en- gineers placed in control Then the English engineer was supplanted by the German, the machinery perhaps got out of order, and the in troduction of German machinery, accompained by American, naturally followed. By this time Russia had started schools for the training of a special class as engineers. These are known in Russia as "technika". They are sup planting American, German, and English, in their own country, and are beginning to turn out machinery of their own design.

They simply gave A Hok the order as just the same as if it had been any other public their own contractor to go and do the work building. A Hok accepted the order and sup- plied the materials and did the work. Eighty or ninety per cent of the entire work was finished and materials supplied before A Hok heard that Mr. Balilios was responsible for the either on the order of Mr. Belilios or relying payment therefore, he did not do the work
