A. 8. WATSON & CO., native had forgotten the habits of industry, if ever they pertained to his nature, and the country remained what it is to-day-- an utrked gold mine. It is perfectly true that the native residing in proximity to Manila, became convinced of the advantages which flow from honest toil. At any rate, that is how it was euphemis tically put, but in the opinion of many the patives, the cockneys so to speak, recognised that if they were to carry themselves in a style which was undrenint of by Solomon in all his glory, if they were to live in the height of fashion, and charm the eyes of the 1■ | senoritas of Manila, they must acquire the nimble peso by hook or by crook. As the crook system would not work they had to try the alternative. And to-day the Manilian is no menu labourer, having helped to erect most of the new public buildings, construct the tramway lines, run the cars, and generally behave. like his western prototype. This was all very well so far as Manila was con- cerned, but Manila is not the Philippines. Indeed, Manila should be disregarded, except as the seat of Government, when the During the Hot Dump Philippine Islands are under, considera.

No details of her construction have as yet been decided upon, and it is not deter mined whether she is to be driven by turbine or reciprocating engines. Messis.

CHINESE LABOUR FOR THE PHILIPPINEs."

Since the United States Government as- sumed sovereignity over the Philippine Islands vigorous steps have been taken to develop the internal resources of the coun- try.

At the water, conclusion of their period of service they could be repatriated, but, better still, they could be allowed to settle on the land and act as the pioneers in agricultural develop ment. Were some such scheme adopted it is estimated that between 3:000 and 5,000 Chinese coolies would be required. There should be no difficulty in obtaining the number, for the Philippine Islands are not to be compared with South Africa whither 50,000 have gone. The Philippines are next door to China, a band's breadth from home. It would be a fatal mistake, however,
