AS 20 the Philippines

While it is impossible to sup
press all anxiety about the situa-
ton in the Philippines, we shall
probably make no mistake in dis
regarding the stories of German
interference there. .Germany's
desire to improve any favorable
opportunity that may arise can
be well understood, but the en-
peror's government is not seeking
a disturbance and it is not at all
probable that any such action as
has been described in some foreign
dispatches has been taken, or will
be taken, in the face of express
official assurance to the contrary.
Just at this juncture the inter
change Of fresh pledges of "high
esteem and unalterable friendship
between Russia and the United
States has more than the tradition
al significance,
The appearance of the United
States as a possible factor in AS
ian affairs gives Russia an added
interest in maintaining these ira
ditionial relations. She would not
have US think that England is
our only friend. And with these
two powers both preferring our
occupation of the Philippines to
their control by any other power,
we are not likely to be interfered
with.

Washington. June 25-It is
now suggested among officials

probable plan Of attack upon Ha-

peaceful siege. In this event
our troops would surround the
city and fortify themselves on
the adjacent tablelands overlook
ing the entire country and CONS
maoding every approach TO
Havana.
Such a seige would obviate
thEheavy fatalities to our troops
that would be the sure conse
quance OF an Immediate and pre-
cipitate attack upon the Span
ish citadel.
Such a seige would, moreover,
place our troops in q healthful To-
cation end give them time to be-
come acclimated.
To carry cut this plan would
require not less than seventy
FIVE thousand soldiers.

JOS. e. ROBINSON.
A BANKRUPTCY LAW.

bankruptcy law at last.
The Senate last year passed the
Nelson bill, which provides for
voluntary bankruptcy only; the
house passed a bill which was vire
tually the Torrey bill, that has been
before congress so often and that
has been endorsed by commercial
organizations in all parts of the
country. 1t provides for both
voluntary and involuntary bank
ruptcy,
The conference of the Senate
and house have agreed upon a
compromise measure which will
probably become a law very soon.
Under the bill as agreed upon
in conference a debtor cannot be
subjected to bankruptcy proceed"
ings unless he is an tsinsolvent, "
and defines an insolvent to be a deb
tor whose property, at a fair val
uatlon, is not sufficient to pay his
debts. Provision is made for
voluntary and involuntary pro
ceedings. An insolvent may be
brought into the bankruptcy court
against his will when he has trans
ferred his property with intention
to defraud; when he has disposed
of property for the purpose of
giving a preference to any of his
creditors; when he has given such
preference by legal proceedings;
when he has made an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors, and
when he has admitted in writing
that he is bankrupt. The confess
sion of judgment and creation of
a lien of any kind by the debtor
within four months before the
time he is adjudged bankrupt is a
nullity, and all conveyances of his
property within four months Of
such adjudication are declared to
be void, unless the transfer be
made to a bona fde purchaser for
value.
A corporation cannot become
a voluntary bankrupt under this
bill. Wagesearners and farmers
cannot be adjudged involuntary
bankrupts. Certain corporations
those engaged chiefly in mans
u~facturing, trading, printing.
publishing, or mercantile opera
tions-may be declared inYolun-
tary bankrupts. National and
State banks cannot be adjudged
involuntary bankrupts. The bill.
by its terms, will take effect as
soon as it is passed. Appropriate
penalties are provided for frauds
ulent concealment of the bank
rupt's property and for perjury
in the bankruptcy proceedings.
The expediency of bankruptcy
legislation was recognized by the
trainers Of the constitution, who
authorized Congress to establish
"a uniform system Of bankrupt
cy."
Under this authority we have
bad three bankruptcy acts, buo
the total length of their opera.
ton has been only sixteen years.
Our first bankruptcy act was
passed in 1900 and repealed in
1903. The panic of 1887 threw
many merchants into financial
distress and insolvency. For
their benefit the bankruptcy act
OF 1871 vas passed, but it re-
NAMED in operation only two
years. The third bankruptcy act
went into effect in 1867 and was
repealed in 1873.
Under that act proceedings in
bankruptcy were very expensive.
The bill now before Congress
makes these expenses very light.
It is almost certain that this bill
will pass, and it is probable that
we shall have a permanent sys-
tenn of bankruptcy, which most
of the other great nations have
already.
