will say:
THE volume of business reflected in eX-
changes at the principal clearing houses Is
2O.l per cent larger than last year and 266
per cent larger than in 1892, heretofore the
year of largest business and highest pros
perity ever known. Part of this increase
was due to speculation at New YORK, but
there remains !; healthy increase over the
best of previous years, and though in some

NO unfavOrable change appears IN the

''COmparSons to foreign trade are apt
to mlsicad, because imports last year were
extraordinarily small after the big rush to
anticipate new duties, while exports were
beginning to show the phenomenal demand
which made the year quite the most re-

European blood. and from it has been
drawn the insurgent forces. Luzon, in
which Manila Is situated, has an ex-
tent OF 400 miles from north to south
and varies in width from 25 to $50
miles. In the southern part OF Luzon
is the great lake OF Bay, and north of
this extend two mountain ranges, one
following the east coast and the other
the west coast. Between these hills
flows the swift current Of the great
River Tajo.
The outlet of Bay like is the River
Pasig, on which is situated Manila, with
it's magnificent bay, 120 miles in cir
conference. On one bank Of the river
are the Spanish and military quarters,
bounded on the one side by the sea and
on the other by great plain, where
the troops are exercised and which is
the resort OF Manila fashion during the
cool of the evening. In the suburb OF
Badongo, across the river, are domi-
ciled the foreigners and the half-breeds,
some OF whom are rich enough to find
entrance into the exclusive Spanish 30

thousand more men and 600 of their
leaders were beheaded and shot to
death in squads at the garrisons at Ca
vite. The present rebellion broke out
last June and was quelled for time
by Spanish troops. Last January 100
rebels were shot in the suburbs Of Ma
Mia. Suddenly the rebellion broke out
again and now 1t seems to be the most
general revolt yet known In the is
lands. There are reported to be 10000
Spanish regulars on guard in the is
lands. The insurgents last fall num-
bered about $4,000, of whom 5000 were
armed with good guns.
Luzon, the largest island in the Phil
ippine archipelago, has a population OF
4, SOC, 900 and the capital, Manila, situat-
ed thereon, had a population in 1894
of 10000. The populations of the 9th
er greater islands are about as follows:
Panay, 277.00O; Cibu, 100000; Leyte,
226 900: Negros, 205, 600; MlndaEao,
100, 900; and Samar, $4,000. The most
important island after Luzon is Paray,
which is divided into three provinces,
the greatest of which is Iloilo, with a
population of $1,000.
The purely European element of all
this-exclusive of the troops-is not
supposed to amount to more than 10000
to $4,000. There are 10000 Chinese in
Manila alone and large numbers of
Mestizos, a cross between the Euro
peans and natives. The pure natives
who compose the bulk of the population
are Malays, which are divided into two
great strains, the Tagals and Bisayans.
They inhabit the interior and are agri-
cultural and half-civilized. Then there
are the Tingaranes of Japanese origin,
the Tagaloe half-breed descendants of
the Malay rajahs and warriors who
ruled in Luzon before the coming OF
the Spaniards. Finally we have the
Gorrators, who are cross of the ma
tives and the followers of the Chinese
pirate Limahon, who invaded Lizon in
1874, and on the failure Of their attack
took refuge in the forests of the in
terror. There are also remains of the
aboriginal Negritos. a race of dwarfish
blacks, who are gradully dying out.
In any scheme of invasion and oc-
cupation the idiosyncrasies and capac-
ity for offense and defense of all this
mass of people must be considered, and
It should be well understood that al
though large part of it is semi-civil-
lied it has been too long in contact
with the white race not to understand
its own inherent physical power. A

In the end 1t may prove to be no more
substantial, though the presence OF
victorious American squadron at Ma
Mia, the organization Of an invading
force OF $4,000 to 10000. or possibly
SO, 900, gives an air Of reality to 1t which
Is very captivating to the American
imagination.
Let us consider the characteristics OF
this furthermost outpost OF the Ameri-
can army, which, having conquered in
the past highway across our broad
continent to the Pacific, is now. with
the help of our noble navy, to establish
itself some 1000 miles still farther to
the west.
OF present greatness and with mag
niflcent possibilities for the future, the
Philippine archipelago is not In all re-
spects desirable as a place Of residence.
Among its prominent characteristics
are earthquakes and revolutions. The
earthquakes are indigenous to the To-
cality and present record for single
year Of forty-one upheavals, including
one volcanic eruption. These earth
Quakes were spread over a large area,
and no one locality had any large num-
Der in the year referred to. An earth
quake is due about once in ten days.
and sometimes there are a dozen small
earthquakes a day for a week at a
time. Two thousand persons were
killed on Luzon island in 1884 by fall
ing timbers and walls, and the loss Of
life in the great earthquake in 1860 in
Negros island was estimated at 1000
Almost every structure was shaken
down and great gaps, yards wide and
miles long, were cracked across the is
land.
Hurricanes, too, are not uncommon
and the one OF Jan. 80, 1875, Frustrated

Luzon and killed $50 people.
Revolutions may be considered indi-
genous to all Spanish colonies and with
our milder sway We may be able to
prevent these, If, indeed, we do not re-
peat our experience of civilian attempts
to control the American Indians. Some
of the inhabitants Of these tropical is
lands are as wild as we can we'll i'm

The little gunboat Petrol, Of Admiral
Dewey's squadron, Is the pride Of the
fleet. During the great naval fight at
Manila, in which the Spanish feet was
annihilated by the American warships,
the little Petrol, which, compared to
the Olympia and Boston, looks like a
tug boat, took one OF the most active
parts. Although the Petrol had no spe-
cial assignment in the engagement she
made record of which her officers are
very proud. Throughout the entire en-
gagement the little Petrol darted here
and there, pouring q steady stream Of
shots from her rapid-fire guns and then

When the Spanish fla: on the arsenal

signaled the Petrol to enter the inner
harbor and destroy the Spanish war
vessels there. She did her work quick
ly and efficiently. In few moments
the Don Juan de Austria, the MARQUIS

A FAMILY y FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

To heredity, to the transmission of
traits from sire to son, we owe most OF the
possibilities of growth and development.
If each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
of life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushman. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiarities
of feature, excentricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual dexterity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair Is hereditary In our family.

timely, and out of season. Gray hairs are
a crown of honor to the aged, but to the
young they are a stigma. There is no need
to be gray in youth. Grayness comes from
a deficiency of the coloring matter which
gives the hair its natural tint. This color
ing matter can be supplied artihcially

Vigor. 1t is by supplying the lacking
pigment that Dir. Ayers Hair vigor re-

Among the many expenses borne by
railroad companies the ice bill figures
quite prominently. For instance, on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad it is
expected it will take over $4,000 tons
OF ice this year to meet the require
ments Of the service. The greater
portion is used in connection with
shipment of perishable goods; the bal
ance in the passenger train service. A
great deal of this ice is put up by the
company in its own ice houses. but as

moist atmosphere, the mountains and

maximum fall of rain at Manila as ia
