Vancouver, B, c., Oct. Fl The
steamship Empress of Japan, which
arrived here from the Orient We'd
nesday, brought advices that 2000
persons were recently drowned in the
district of Wasting, near Peking, by
the most disastrous typhoons and
Hoods in years. The disaster first
came in the shape of several typhoons,
which were followed by fierce storms
of several hours duration. Hun.
dreds of square miles in this district
were under water. The waves were
five and, six feet above the highest
elevation.
One report says % towns were I'M
der water and thousands of inhabi-
tants are iiocling to cities.
The loss to property and shipping
of Formosa by the typhoon will
amount to 81 100000.
In addition to those actually known
to be lost, hundreds will die from ex
posure and hunger. All vernacular
papers agree in saying that it was the
worst disaster of the kind ever known
in the East.

protected against winds, where the
rainfall is tremendous and even, q
paradise for coffee growers and tie
opportunity for no one to say what
fortunes. In the islands TO the south
there are forests of teak, ebony and
mahogany that have never been touch
ed. In the floors of the commonest
building in and around Manila one
sees teak boards two feet wide and
20 feet long. Mahogany is used as
we use pine, Mindoro is covered with
such wood, aud only the fringe of
Mindoro has been touched. These
things are just suggestion of The
possibilities.
Labor is plentiful, sure and cheap.
One hires man for eight pesos q
month, aud 10 pesos is a price never
heard of until the Americans came
here and began to bull the market.
The other side of the question has
its strong arguments, too. Some OF
the islands are inhabited by savages
whom the Spanish never conquered
rhe natives we have seen about Ma
Mia are the best of the whole lot.
They have had the advantage of two
centuries and more of association
with such civilization as the Spaniards
possess. Fhey have had more chance
OF education than their fellows of the
remote provinces. Yet not even the
best OF them are capable OF self gov
eminent. Aguinaldo himself falls
short Of comprehension of the require
-ments, possibilities and dangers OF
the, Institutions he seeks TO found.
Two hundred years OF free govern
ment by Americans, with free schools
and ali that that implies, will not fit
these people for citizenship as We
know and understand it. A success
full government of these islands by
Americans must be by modification
Of the English colonial system, and
that involves q radical departure from
all we know. The conquering Of the
Islands from the natives will be DIFF
licult and arduous task in some cases,
but we should have plenty of time 10
do it as we pleased, and results would
amply compensate.
Statistics of the business and com
merce of the islands, and of the Gus
yom house aud internal revenue here,
which will come later, will bear out
all these things. This is but the bar
EST outline, mere suggestion of what
can be done with the PHILIPPINES, Ii
IS knowledge of these things that
makes Admiral Dewey hope that the
islands will be held by us. 1t was a
glimpse of these possibilities that
made Geu. Merritt say that, never
While he lived, if he could help it,
should the Spaniards or the Filipinos
control the Philippines.

Have Taken an Empire.

A Manila writer, after quoting Ad-
miral Dewey as saying, 1--WE have
taken an Empire here-an Empire,
says:
1t is absolutely true. The Phil
ippine islands form an empire whose
possibilities are beyond the bounds Of
computation. The surface has not
even been scratched and already theil
commerce amounts to hundreds OF
millions. The soil is fertile beyond
anything America knows, and it is
suited TO almost every crop. The
manager of the Manila branch of the
Chartered Bank of Iudla, Australia
and China said to me the other day
that in all his experience in these
islands he had never seen a failure OF
any crop. Whatever was sown, that
was reaped.
Only the faintest suggestion of de-
velopment of the islands resources
has been made. 1t has been the pol
icy of the Spanish to prevent devel
opment. Robbery and personal gain
were the only objects Of the Spanish
officials. Take the single instance OF
the building of the breakwater ana
pier off the mouth of the Pasig river,
Work has been going on at it for TIVE
score years or more. There were sey
eral special taxes devoted ostensibly
20 the construction of the pier, ano
The fund was increased by a percent
age of the import duties, Wharfage
dues in the river, lighthouse tax aho
other imposts. Yet the pier is hard
y begun.
