REACHING AFTER TRADE.
New York Business Firms Want to supply
the Philippines

New York, Sept. 3.-The business
men of New York are already making
preparations for the commercial con-
quest of the Philippine Islands. A doz-
en- or more export houses Of this city
have sent agents to Manila to look over
the ground the Manufacturers Asso-
citation has arranged for elaborate re-
ports, and the Philadelphia Museum
has instructed Its commission, now
travelling In China, to proceed ut once
to the conquered territory and report
upon the requirements of the markets
and to furnish such information as Is
needed by the merchants and manufac-
turers of the United States who desire
TO enter the trade.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
has sent w. L. Tisdel TO London to
charter vessels for regular line of
steamships between San Francisco and
Manila, and Messrs. Charles r. Flint
and w. NJ. WINS of this city, and
Charles II. Cramp and others of Phila-
delphia have organized under the laws
of New Jersey what they call the Poly
nesian Steamship Company. which Will
put on line of steamers to Manila,
stopping at Honolulu and at the Caro-
line and Ladrone Islands. making their
western terminus at Manila.
The first steamer is now loading In
San Francisco and will be ready to
sail within n few days with an assort-
ed cargo. including almost everything
that can enter into the wants of the
Philippines.
Flint. Eddy & Co. recently establish
ed line of steamers between New
York and Australia. Heretofore all of
our shipments thence by steam have
been either from San Francisco or Lon
don.
The new enterprise is called the
American and Australian Steamship
Company. and it originally announced
one sailing n month. but the demand
for freight has made 1t necessary to
double the service. and the company is
now sending two steamers a month
from this city.

Goth, at II a. III.
What the commissioners accomplished
up to this point, or what they are like
ly to accomplish In the future. can on
" be inferred from outward indica-
tions. Absolutely nothing has been re-
vealed from within the meeting rooms
of the commission. From the very first
session until the adjournment the COM
missioners on both sides have repeated
ly stated that the most friendly rela-
tions existed on both sides, and that
the representatives of both govern
ments manifested disposition. even
determination, to reach final ADJUST
ment of the questions Of international
dispute before them. In fact, every
thing that has transpired before the
public eye in connection with the con-
ference has confirmed these statements.
But there are questions which many
predict the commissioners Will have
great difficulty in adjusting II they are
able to adjust them at all.

ease in camps during the war with

teers and regulars.

of 1884 who died in camp or on trans
ports or at home after contracting the
malaria mt one of the camps.
There is no doubt about the 1,2S4
whose names have been secured. Neith-
er is there much doubt that there are
hundreds dead whose names could not
be secured on account Of lack OF rec
ords and the inability or unwillingness
OF army officers TO furnish lists Of the
dead.
The Tribune gives the following sta
tistics OF dead In each camp, giving
in every instance full list Of names
and the nature of disease. The record
by camps is as follows:

San Francisco, 70; Camp Alger, 20:
Camp Wik0ff, 63; Jacksonville, 80:

TOO EAGER FOR BONDS.
Many Of tho Bids Submitted Were Ficti-
tlDus

ttOWN.
Washington. Sept. IA wide investi-
cation of specious bids under the last
call for subscriptions TO government
bonds has been completed by Solicitor
O'Connell of the Treasury Department
and to-day he submitted to Secretary
Gage the mass of testimony in the
transactions.
The reports indicate that millions Of
dollars in bonds were acquired by ir-
regular means and that n number of
New York bidders are involved in the
cases. Many of the bids received from
New York are shown to have been
signed by individuals who had no d.
rect interest in them and subscribed
their names simply at the request Of.
or In consideration OF compensation by
other parties. or the bids bore sigma
lures that were fOrgerles.
Secretary Gage said tonight that the
investigation showed that a large
amount OF the bids offered were not
bona flde. but that In none Of the cases
involved In the investigation had the
bonds been issued to the bidders. He
said he had no doubt, however. that In
some instances as yet undiscovered,
the bonds bid for In similar way un-
knowingly to the department had been
issued.

The following protest, by Rev. J. II.
Crooker OF Buffalo. against the charge
that the attitude OF our country among
the nations Is that OF Isolation" Will
be accepted by many OF our readers.
The too sweeping declaration is very
well controyerted. 1T seems to me-"
said the preacher. that a distinguish
ed American statesman is wrong when
he charges us with isolation. As a
people we have been very much abroad
In the world. and In the noblest and
most effectual way. Who have tray-
eled SO widely or wisely us Americans ?
We have sent great numbers OF stu
dents to foreign universities. Thou
sands OF devoted missionaries have
gone from our shores to distant lands.
We are enriching our life from every
source; we are pouring out our life
and shedding our influence upon every
race and tribe. What greater good
can we do to the world than by these
peaceful services? We should ayres,
our own development and diminish our
influence by stepping down from this
pedestal and meddiing In the AFFAIRS o,
distant nations and assuming charge
Of savage hordes."

Some Pertinent Thoughts,

Nine times out of ten woman
is prompter to pay debt than a
man.
Many people get up early and
do nothing else all day.
1t is very seldom that girl can
60 away to college without inven-
ting some new way to spell her
name.
1t is not the fellow who gets the
biggest salary who makes the
most money. 1t is the one that
knows what to do with it.
There is no accounting for a
BOYS conduct when in love.
You can generally tell..a careful
business man by the way he keeps
his receipts for money. paid out.
The religion that makes people
pay their debts; the religion that
keeps people from speaking ill of
their neighbors; the religion that
makes no distinction between
wealth and poverty; the religion
that makes men manly and women
womanly; the religion is a part of
peoples every day life, exempli-
fled in kind deeds, loving acts,
cheering words, is the religion
that is needed in the world today.
This is an age of slang among
our young people. Thousands of
dollars are spent in our public
schools while other vast sums are
spent in fine churches, yet the ma
jority of our young people are US
ing slang and wasting time in idle
ness, and certain per cent. of
them are entering the field of
crime. Slang is the gateway to
obscenity and to vulgarity, and
many noble girls are on their way
to ruin through the gateway of
slang. Good morals and manners
if more thoroughly and fully
taught in our common schools,
would be more valuable than that
our children be taught with the
learning of the books of the false
ideas of modern accomplishments.
