We may see another party in power in the United States and this may mean a change of policy. At all events the death of President MCKINLEY would have a great effect upon the situation in the Philippines. It must not be forgotten how great were the hopes of the Filipinos as the last election approached. They looked upon the election of Mr. BRYAN as meaning independence for them, and Mr. MCKINLEY'S retum to office was regarded as a calamity. How the grave news will be received by then it is impossible to say, but in all probability | the death of the President would mean that, districts which have now been brought under American control would once more rise in

Reform.
The edicts quoted by our Canton Cor- respondent certainly point towards reform, but we fear that they will never be carried out. It must not be forgotten that the great majority of the higher posts throughout China are held by men of conservative views, and they will interpret the edict directing them to promote those who have a knowledge of western methods in their, own way. An other thing which must not be forgotten is
the fact that there will be so few`men to

Jedge. At the time of the coup d'état a general weeding but of all who had leanings towards reform took place, and hence we fancy that the edict will be of little effect. The edicts have, as our Correspondent points out, a distinct resemblance to those which cost the unfortunate Em- peror his liberty, but it is too early yet to build any hopes on this fact. In all probability they are merely thrown out by the Empress Dowager as a blind to cover Chinese have very little hope of seeing any reforms instituted so long as the Dowager holds the reins. We were told the other day by a very well informed Chinaman that there could be no hope of China doing any good for herself during the lifetime of the Empress, She would be frightened to institute reforms and would take care that others were pre-

SECOND DAY.
A good programme, was arranged for the,' second day's racing and was witnesed by a fairly large gathering of members and friends, Just before the start of the first race a launch arrived bringing His Excellency the Governor and the Hon. J. H. Stewart Lockhart. They were met at the landing by Mr. G. E. Sargent and conducted to their seats, but we were rather surprised to notice that there was no acknowledgement of their. presence by the audience. The weather was delightfully calm and just suited the sport. The races in every event were well contested, some very close finishes being witness:d. The intervals between the races were too long but with the same mich entering for each event this, no doubt, was
unavoidable.
