LONDON, 9th January. The wave of popular emotion first caused in St. Petersburg by the surrender of Port Arthur has already subsided. Christmas created a diversion and the public have been joyously celebrating it at the theatres, music halls, restaurants and taverns. On the other hand, a solemn funeral service for the fallen at Port Arthur, held in the Issac and Kasan Cathedrals, were poorly attended.

Reports of the promise of a large sugar crop for the year have now determined the directors to re-open the refinery, It is estimated that the sugar crop for the year will be more than double that for any year since American occupation. in a conversa- tion with a gentleman prominently identified with the sugar industry it was stated that much of the sugar land in Luzon which has been aban. doned since the insurrection is now planted to cane and that the promises for a large crop are excellent.

BANKING MADE EASY.

Living, as we do, in times of great un- certainty owing to the fluctuations in exchange, investors and bank managers losing their appetites-and-turning prematurely grey haired with care-it seems obviously unfair to with

ment.

There is one other question, a most important one-the commercial union of the Empire, which the Fiscal Policy, for which Mr. Cham berlain is so strenuously labouring, is intended to bring about That question is still in the controversial stage and the Colonial Confer- ence proposed by Mr. Balfour, to consider this question, will be welcomed, and the outcome awaited with enger interest. I will not refer to it more than casually, as it does not come within the province of my subject, but just to say this, that no scheme of Imperial Federa lion would be complete which does not embrace a fiscal union. Imperial Federation will not be complete unless side by side with a political, there is a commercial union.

Now, let us regard for a moment the present relations between Great Britain and those Colonies believe it was Lord Rosebery who

able-and why are they so? Because there is described those relations as louse and indefin not that what may I call-a material stiffen- ing. a material cohesion, which alone can ensure permanency. The ties of kinship, of loyalty, of common sympathies, which bind the Empire ingether are the strongest possible, but if to these are added ties of common material interests, we see how much more secure will be the unity of the Empire. 17, then, you might ask, if the lies which bind the Empire together, are the strongest possible, why all this talk about Imperial Federation, why seek to formulate a scheme for union, when we already have union? It is because, As to the question of the Crown Colonies, to secure the continuance and permanency of there is not much to be said Colonial history these conditions, by adding to the union of has shown that as a colony developed, and sympathies the union of material interests, and increased in weath and population, when the for the defence of those interests.

Not alone is there a promise of an extraor dinary large crop but the market price of sugar is at least fifty per cent higher than it has been during the past few years. This is probably due to the fact that the best sugar crop is far short of its normal yield. This shortage is estimated to be not less than 1,000,000 tons, and in addition to this cane crop in the south ern states and in Cuba is greatly under the nonnisi figure.--Manila Times,

In order to keep this means of enchange in the country, they have adopted a very useful measure, which cannot be too strongly recom mended to other great financial institutions. A notice posted up in the Customs-bouse reads as follows:-

12th September, 1994. TREASURY NOTICE. The public me hereby notified that in future "B. N. B. Treasury notes will not be cashed "by the Chartered Bank, Singapore, on ac- "count of this Government."

To further trade as much as possible, the Company is prepared to accept even Straits currency in payment of postal orders issued by their Treasuries; this. I think, is a temporary measure and will be in force only so long as the supply of Treasury notes is deemed de ficient. The wording of the fallowing notice

way. But I do think that while we are able, while the conditions are so lavourable, that we should grasp the opportunity, and steadily forge those links of the chain of Empire, into an un- breakable bond. By what means then is the Federation of the Empire proposed to be ac complished?

I do not think that any definite scheme of federation which can be devised, can be put into practice at once, but it is rather by gradual, successive steps that the desired end is to be attained. Any attempt to precipitate a Federal Union, before the conditions are ripe for such an event, would, it is not difficult to conceive, be fraught with national disaster

It has often been asserted that a political

To that we can only say that just as may be deemed impossible to- was the federation of Australia or day, so Canada deemed impossible in its time, yet to-day we see those great communities each united under one central Government. It has often been urged that federation would be impossible, because of the scattered areas of the Empire, the vast distances, the miles of orean which separate them, but on the other In all schemes of federation, it must be a

the murder of a sampan woman and her child, and made a desperate attempt upon the life of a sixteen-year-old boy.
