Petitions for voluntary bankruptcy
may be tried now under the new law

By a "volun tary" bankrupt the law
means one who files his own petition
without waiting for his creditors to
raise callous spots camping on his
neck.
A voluntary bankrupt files with his
petition schedule of his debts and
his property.
If the court decides the petitioner a
bankrupt meeting of the creditors is
called.
Here the bankrupt may speak freely.
His explanation may never be used
against him in criminal proceedings.
The creditors select a trustee. He
winds up the business and pays divi-
dends.
After a month the bankrupt may ap-
ply for a discharge. Notice must be
given to creditors. If the bankrupt
has satisfied all req uirements he is en-
titled to release.
In involuntary bankruptcy proceed
ings are begun by the creditor or cred
itors, who allege an 'act of bankrupt
cy" and ask a decree.
Transferring property to defraud
creditors would be an act of bankrupt
cy, or transferring property while in
solvent to certain creditors with intent
to give them an advantage over other
creditors
The bankrupt is entitled to trial by
jury upon questions of fact raised in
the petition.
After decree of bankruptcy is given
the proceeding is an involuntary bank
ruptcy.

Judge may name referee to conside r

questions to be considered and report.

RUSSIA'S TRADE.

The American manufactures has a
direct interest in watching the Chi
nese market and the efforts of Russia
to capture it. According to Consul
Bedloe of Canton, Russia contemplates
capturing the Chinese market as soon
as the through Siberian railroad is
finished. The convention of 1895 binds
the Chinese government to charge
one-third less duty on all Russian
goods entering China through Man
churia, than is paid for similar pro-
ducts from other foreign countries
landed at Chinese port. Export du-
ties are to be reduced one-third in ia
vor of Russia.
The Russian has killed the British
trade in Northeastern Persia. and he
will undoubtedly try to kill it in
Northern China, and with British
trade he will kill American as well.
The process in vogue in Persia was
not by means of preferential rates, or
lower duties, which would have VIC
lated the treaty rights, but by re-
bate on Russian imported goods. On
every pound of Russian manufactured
goods sent into Persia the Russian
merchant receives an allowance of six
cents, which more than covers the
cost of freight, the balance being
profit to the manufacturer. This is
in fact bounty paid the manufact-
urer and amounts, so it is stated, to
$3,000,000 year, and is divided be-
tween the manufacturer and the mer-
chant. By this device the British cot
ton trade has been killed in Persia,
and similar tactics will be employed
in China as soon as the railroad gives
easy access to the Chinese markets.
With the growing trade of the Unit
ed States in the Orient, it behooves
the commercial men to look out for
the Russian Octopus, for our 1--WE can
say 'our" now eastern trade in that
direction is growing constantly, but it
wants fostering to the utmost, and
must be guarded against a power
which is greedy of its sphere of COM
mercial influence.

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.

The kilograms to Japan from Wash
Commissioners will make in regard
to the Philippines must be taken with
a grain of salt. 1t is known that up
on the question of the retention of
the Philippines the opinion of the
President and the opinion of the Com
missioners is not a unit. The Com
missioners, or majority of them, are
in favor of the annexation of the Phil
ippine Islands. The President, it has
been stated, is only anxious to have
coaIing station But it has been un-
derstood that in this he has allowed
his individual wishes TO be overruled
by the wishes of the majority of the
commission.
1t does not seem feasible that Span
ish rule and American rule should go
side by side. The one a free, demo-
cratic rule, the other practically ty-
ranny. The wisest and best course is
to take the Islands entirely with all
the responsibilities they entail, and
they are many. Divided rule in the
Philippines will only end in anarchy
in the Spanish dominions and perhaps
the seeds of a fresh struggle in the
future. There is a homely proverb
about not taking two bites at a cher
ry, and the Philippine cherry should
be swallowed whole.
In dealing with Spain the question
is, how honest is she? A few of her
leading men may be honest, but a
great many of them are not. What
the Spanish authorities want is time,
they are perfectly willing to negotiate
for the next six months should the
United States be willing to allow such
delay. The longer the delay, the
longer the volunteer trops will have
to be kept in Manila, and calculates
the Spaniard, the more unpopular
will the matter become in the United
States. If it becomes unpopular the
Spaniard may gain something out of
the fire.
But in such a calculation the Span
lard is installing the American. The
United States is averse to prolonged
negotiation, and should the Spaniards
adopt the dilly-dally policy there
would be an ultimatum at once, and
Spain would have to either give in on
all points or continue the war. She
is in no condition to continue the war
and she would have to yield inconti-
nintly.
If the Spaniard, in dealing with
the statesmen of the United States.
thinks he has got hold of men who
are IMMERSED in affairs, he is very
much mistaken. The personnel of the
American Peace Commissioners is far
stronger than the personnel of the
Spanish Commissioners. They are
men who are in full touch with the
people, while the Spaniards are chiefly
in touch with the court. This gives
them a further advantage in negotia-
ton. They know for whom they are
talking and are in accord with mil
