Cannot Leave the Islands to Anarchy,

LONDON, Dec. 30. = The Morning Post,
commenting on the latest news from the
Philippines, says: Sooner or later the whole
question of the possession of the islands
will have to be faced. The United States
find themselves obliged to assert their au-
thority by force, for they have destroyed
the only government which existed. They
cannot leave the islands to anarchy"
The Daily News says: ITO leave the Phil
ippines to anarchy would be inconsistent
with the spirit of their declarations and
the obligations which the United States have
incurred"

Greatest Event of the Year.

LONDON, Dec. 31.-The Times this morn
ing, in its annual review of the events of the
year, devotes considerable space to the
Spanish-American war, which it regards as
of even more Importance than the Nile
campaign, because it resulted. apparently
in the defnitive adoption of new imperial
and military policy by the United States"
The article applauds the Washington gov
ernment for declining to surrender the lives
and property Of Spaniards in Cuba to the
tender mercies of the Cubans, but regrets
that no compensation is paid with respect to
Cuba, although undoubtedly large part
of the Cuban debt was expended on public
works in the island" The Times pays a
high tribute to the tranquil and dignifed
manner in which Spain has accepted her re-
verses"

REVOLUTION AT GUAM.
Governor Appointed by Americans
Ousted by Spaniards.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, Dec. 30.-The
British schooner Esmeralda, which has
arrived here from the Ladrone islands, re-
ports that after the United States cruiser
Charleston left the Island OF Guam, in June
last, the Spaniards refused to recognize the
authority of Francis Portusach, who was
verbally instructed by Captain Black to
continue his former regime as governor, and
Jose Sisto, q former public administrator,
was declared governor. He armed part of
the native guard collected a tax of Sc and
secured fifteen tons of powder and small
stock of ammunition, when the island was
taken by the Americans.
The schooner also reports the massacre of
the Spanish garrison by the combined ma
tive forces at Panopi, Caroline islands. He
yaoti an educated chief. has been selected
to be the ruler He is reported to be favor
able to Americans.
The British cruiser Buenaventura has
gone to Iloilo to protect British interests
there
The Spanish steamer Romulus, which has
just arrived here, confirms the report that
the insurgents at Ilolo are inclined to sur
render that town to the americans if satis-
fled as to the form of government which
will be accorded them.
Francis Portusach, whom the commander
of the United States cruiser Charleston left
in charge of the Ladrone islands, being the
only American citizen there, is g. native of
Spain, where he was born about thirty
years ago. Portusach went to Chicago in
1885, He is the son of a wealthy merchant
of Barcelona, Spain, who had numerous
trading vessels in the Philippines and other
islands of the South seas. That city was his
birthplace. While a boy young Portusach
Travelled considerably on his fathers ships.
After his fathers death and before he had
reached his majority, Francis Portusach left
home, which had been made unbearable by
the tyranny of an elder brother. He shipped
parts Of the globe, finally landing in Amer
ica When he went to Chicago he was not
yet twenty-one years of age, but had vast
amount of experience in worldly affairs.
Having taken out his first papers five years
previously, Portusach, in 1888, became cit
izen of the United States. Soon after that
he left Chicago and went to the Pacific
coast He was lost track of by his friends,
but it was known he intended to sail for
the South seas and finally return home and
claim the fortune left him by his father.
Panopi may mean the Island of Puynipet,
also referred to as Bonape and Panape. 1t is
probably the second in size of the Caroline
group known as the Caroline proper.

central government, which is autocrat- tc, but each of her provinces is self governing. If Russia gets control of China, as I believe she will, 1t may be that she will Russianize the people and show them how to develop their re- sources in very few years. If she does not it may be 100 or 200 years before, they become competitors of ours.
 When the development of China be- gins we shall have to look to our trade in manufactured goods. I believe that the trade of the Pacific is going to be greater than the trade of the Atlantic. Humboldt predicted that, basing his belief on the enormous population there and its possible development. The millions of Asiatics are going to take agricultural products from us flour and other products-which repre- sent the greatest amount of toll. That of course is our most important export interest now.
 Of our great exports last year, Il per cent were agricultural. But when 1t comes to manufactured goods the chi nese are not only going to supply their own needs but they are goiuS to send their products tol our Pa.ific Coast markets in competition with the prod ucts of the mills of New England. If Japan had not gone to the gold stand ard her exports to-day would be

menace to New England's trade on the Pacific Coast.
 I believe that in another decade Asia will be doing most of the nianufactur- ing for the world. Both the Chinese and the Japanese are delft people. They are not inventive, but they are imita- tive, and the progress they have made in manufacturing Is wonderful They can live and thrive on wages that mean starvation and death to an American or European laborer. I was talking some time ago with missionary who had just returned from a six years stay in China. He told me that it would not be possible for one who had not seen them to realize the progress that the Chinese had made in manu- featuring.
 For little time longer their conser- vatism will keep out foreign machin- cry perhaps But the war with Japan made great awakening in China. This missionary tells me that the present Chinese dynasty Is doomed. The peo- pie see that 1t has deceived them and 1t is tottering to it's fall. With the inau- guration of a new rule changes will come The Chinese are people of fine business ability Not the river Chinese whom we know but the Chinese of the interior. This missionary, who had been to the interior, told me that they were a fine business race, having splendid talents in that direction. In fact. he

SOME QUEER
 LECHCIES

Here are some amusing particulars of legacies with strange conditions at tached, as given by the Brooklyn Cltl- zen. Early last year a peculiar pro- bate suit, involving some $500,O00, was imminent, the disinherited relations wishing to upset an old gentieman's S will because he had left the sum named to found and endow a church on the condition that every Sunday before the service the whole of the thirty-ntne ar ticles were to be read by the clergy man outside the church door.
 A strange condition was attached to the legacy the late Sir Edward Bates, who died last year, left to his --1arried daughter He stated that he had seen his son-in-law's Scotch property. and he considered it would be gross injury to his daughter and her children, con- sidering there are no neighbors within miles, and there is no medical man within six or seven miles," if she lived there any considerable time. So he ar ranged that, if his daughter stayed more than six months in any year, and those six months not in the winter" at that spot, the income derived from the legacy for the twelve succeeding months should go to the residuary leg atee.
 During this year a gentleman who died at Mons left a legacy of S3000 to five friends, the money to be spent on dinners served in different restaurants. and at each meal certain dish to be eaten, and a certain wine, of which he was very fond to be drunk Further more, his memory was to be toasted at dessert, the five companions were to dine in black clothes and gloves, and enter the room preceded by a flag and the music of an accordion.

OCCUPATIONS
 OF AMERICANS.

Interesting data about the occupa- tions of the American people is given in the bulletin of the eleventh census re- gently made public. It shows that the total number of people engaged in oc- equations of all kinds in 1890 was 22.- 735, ,961 Of the whole number of work ing people the females form 1722 Der cent. Divided by classes the working people of the country are as follows: Agriculture, fisheries and mining, 9,013,- 336; professional, 9443 333; domestic and personal service, 4,360,577; trade and transportation, 3,326 122; manufactur- ing, and mechanical industries, 5,091, ,293. Considerably more than four-flfths of the illiterate male population of the country and over one-fourth of the H. literate female population are working.
 Over 59 per cent of the workingmen are married, over 27 per cent single, over per cent widowed and one-quar- ter of l per cent divorced. In manu- factures and mechanics the carpenters and joiners, numbering 611 ,4S2, make up the greatest element, with dresSmakers and milliners following with 499,690. There are a little over 1, ,000, 900 book keepers. clerks and salesmen, 690,65 merchants and dealers, 5,2S1, ,557 farm CTS. planters and oyerseers and 3,004, 061 agricultural laborers, 349,592 miners and only little over 60,000 fishermen and oystermen. Professors and teachers, aggregating 347,344, form the most numerous of the professional classes. Physicians and surgeons, 104, ,S05, come next; then lawyers. S9, 9,630; clergymen, SS,2O3; Government officials, 79, 9,664: musicians, etc. 62,155; engineers and CTS, 22. 4s6; journalists, 21,S4s, and sc- tors 972S

says fhat the most successful business enterprises in Japan have Chinese at thelr head. He says that there is the dif1erence between the Chinese and the Japanese that there is between the Scotchman and the Parisian. The Par 1sian is dapper fellow, all courtesy and smiles; the Scotchman is a hard headed, practical man. So the Chinese are the superiors of the Japanese as men of affairs.
 With the building of the Nicaragua canal rates from the Atlantic to the Pacific will be cheapened to our manu- lecturers, and the Nicaragua canal is going to be built. But I don't know that it will be an unmixed blessing. If China's manufactures are to be com petitor of all the manufacturing coun- tries of the world the canal will be an outlet for her products to our Atlantic coast and to European markets, as well as a route for sending the products of European and New England States to Asia.
 China has to-day in abundance every thing that human needs could demand. The Chinese have iron, they have cop per, they have. more coal than any other country in the world, except, per haps, our own. They have 400, 600 square miles of coal fields of extraor- dinary richness. They have never mined 1t much because they have no
The San Francisco call., 1898-08-14

need for 1t. But when manufacturing takes a hold in China they will have this coal supply close at hand and a vast army of cheap laborers to do their work. If the Chinese themselves will not undertake to do manufacturing. the capitalists of America and England and Germany will introduce 1t. How long would 1t take you to raise $1,000,00O for manufacturing enterprise In China among the capitalists of New York If you could demonstrate that they could make 20 or 30 per cent on their money? There is no feeling of patriotism which would keep the American capitalist from going into anything which prom-' fsed profit. I found in Mexico, when was there some years ago, that $700,- 900 of the $3,000.000 invested in a cotton mill had been put in by a resident Of New York Machine shops in Monterey and other places in Mexico have taken away from Denver the trade in min ing machinery which we had with Mex leo for so long time.

Her millions of people are content and the world has nothing to gain by changing their condition" What will happen to China now, I think, is that Russia will step in and get control there and Rus sianize the Chinese.
 Look at the history of Russia and you will see that she has Russianized every nation she has conquered. She fought the Cossacks for fifty years fought them fiercely-but to-day the Cossaeks are Russians. She Russian ized them in thirty years.
