defied and five or six licenceholders wire hauled before the Court to auswer for their misdeeds. According to the Goblences the judge found the accused parties guilty and in sentencing them to pay a fine of $100 he said "Manila is the most orderly city for its size under the American flag and this court is determined to keep it so and enforce the liquor act, as it stands, if I have to send every saloonkeeper to Bilibid for six months." Judge Law added that six months in jail plus a fioc of P200, would be the sen tence meted out to those brought before him on a second charge of this nature. There is a fine ring of patriotic pride in that statement that Manila is the most orderly city etc, and we will not quarrel with the view, which is quite possibly correct. The saloon keepers who had been mulcted decided to appeal and probably the appeal is now pending. We have nothing to do with that; what we are interested in is the interpreta

HONGKONG GATILE TRABE.

An important and profitable trade which, sprang into existence about ten year ago in that of the sale and delivery of cattle to purchasers in the Philippine Islands. The various parties have benefited-the exporters, the intermediary dealers, the shipping com- panies and the purchasers. But lately, cattle sent from Hongkong to the Islands have not been up to the high water mark demanded by the health officials in Manila and there is danger that the trade which should conti- nuc to prove a flourishing and lucrative one to this Colony may be driven away to Indo-Council of War. China. Hongkong cannot afford to sit till and watch such a result of sheer carelessness nor is it to the interest of those engaged in the trade to allow their good name to be smirched in the matter. For it is not only the cattle required for the abattoirs that are concerned but the Islands as a whole require' tobe restocked, and where should the supplies come from if not the China coast via Hong. kong? In an editorial which appears is one of our contemporaries in the southers dependency of America we find this matter dealt with, not as regards Hongkong in particular but from the general standpoint of uplifting the agricultural wants of the archipelago. We find that those who were in the Philippides before the days of the revolt of the Filipinos against Spain assert that the islands once possessed large herds of cattle in many of the provinces. It is said that cattle that now sell for fifty or sixty pesos a head, before the war could have been pur- chased for from six to len pesos. Through years of neglect, the wasteful slaughter of armies and the ravages of disease, those droves have been for the most part exter

The Provincial Assembly is to be opened for forty days in each your; it should have been closed on the roth day of the zoth moon. On the completion of that period, however, at the request of its members, the Viceroy graciad an extension ten days, and the Assembly was therefore only closed yesterday, when the Viceroy was presest to perform the closing ceremony.
