PUBLIC AUCTION.

HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1903.

via Siberia in the train between Manchuria THE Undersigned has received instructions

junction and Lake Baikal:-

N. B.These notes pretend only to give the experiences of the particular journey by train af May 26th from Dalny. Conditions have hitherto changed every few weeks, and will doubtless continue to do so for some time. The first advice we would tender to travellers is therefore to mistrut everything you are told, especially by the various agents. To illustrate this I may mention that the existence of a new service of trains, inaugurated on 17th April, was unknown to varions "agencies" in Peking and Tientsin on 16th May,

The experiences of recent travellers are more useful, but here again the conditions may so change in a couple of months, that these also may be very misleading. This is what happen- ed when i started. On arrival at Dainy I placed my baggage in the train and got the guard to lock the compartment, It was a first Tickets could not be got until one hour before the departure of the train, which was timed to start at 1 pm

class for twa.

The tickets, first class to Manchuria junction, con Rs, 108 each; second class tickets cost Rs. 67. One can book no further. On arrival at Manchuria one books through to Petersburg first clas, second Rs. 113 It will be seen that the prices on the Chinese Eastern Railway are much higher than on the Russian State Railway.

There was no difficulty al Dalny. The lan guare difficulty is "all rot! Anyone can learn enough Russian in ten minutes to cariyalong with anthis journey. The railway officials are obliging, the accommodation excellent. The days are over for taking the equipment of an upcountry trip upon this route. The dining-car is quite good. It adds possibly to one's comfort to have one's own whisky, and a tra-basket kills time as anything else, but neither can be called necessities now.

The coupés are spotlessly clean; so is the bedding. Good clean pillows are provided. No bedding need be brought, except the ordinary travelling rug.

There is not much room for hand baggage. Nothing can go under the seats. If I had to define what was "a lot of hand baggage" 1 should say anything more than four pieces per man." But these four might all be large kit-bags. A number of small pieces are very difficult to keep track of when changing,

van.

One is allowed 36lbs, per ticket fare in the A cabin-trunk owned by a couple may therefore weigh 72lbs. before it is penalised.

The trains run twice a week from Dalny, Tuesdays and Saturdays at 11. p.m. It is the only way to go home.—N. C. D. News.

BUSINESS IN THE PHILIPPINES. | ourselves, we have decided that

Foreign consuls are reparting to their governments that business is stagnant in the Philippines, and that "Manila is flooded with Americans out of employment" We presume this to be true, and in one sense it is very creditable to our Government. It proves that we do not intend to exploit the Filipinos. Business would be booming in the Philippines if we would expose the Filipinos to the com petition of Chinese labour. If that labour were available American capital would flow into the islands, and the adventurous men who rushed there with vague expectations would find the opportuniti s which they expected.

But in another sense the present business stagnation in the archipelago is not creditable to us. We could improve hsiness there by opening or packets * th products of Philippine industry, long as we refuse to perform this plain duty the responsibility for bad times in Mania rests with the American people. Incident.ly, we may say that we bear of no particular dist ess among the Fili

pinos themselves except as the result of un avoidable misfortune, and such distress we are relieving. The trouble is with those of our own and other countries who have flocked to the islands, not with the intent to produce, but to live by the occupations depending upon pro- duction. We presume that no American who wishes to do manual labour in the islands need

seek long for employment. Our compatriots there do not wish to do such work. They pro- bahly cannot do it in that climate. The Filipino himself is not suffering, because his wants are few, and those he can supply by such labour as be is willing to perform. If we adhere to the humane policy of developing the Philippines by labour of the islanders the process will be slow. The Filipino is not an ambitious worker, There will remain island resources to be developed by the next generation. Nobody has charged that the Filipino will not do all the work necessary to get what he desires. The fault which we find is that he does not desire a multi- tude of things which we should like to sell him. That is unfortunate for us, and possibly for the Islanders. They might be much happier if they were in the enjoyment of convenience which we find so desirable, but of which the →Filipino never heard. To induce the Filipino to work more steadily we must create new desires. Thess can only arise by free commercial inter- course, which can only come by opening our markets to such products as the Filipinos are willing to make in their present stage of develop- ment, Roads and schoolhouses are things which they appreciate, and to some extent, at `least, are exerting themselves to provide. And they lead to other desire-books and bicycles, for example. Filipinos are like other people— Influenced by their environment. With the American environment which commercial inter-

course with America would gradually induce, they will become American in thought, instincts, and, possibly, in energy. To make good times in the islands we must remove the tariff on their products, as desired by Governor Taft and approved by the President.-S. F. Chronicli
