1t is persistently rumored that c. p.
Huntington will push the construction of
the Mexican International road from Du-
range to Mazatlan and put on a line Of
steamships from that port to Honolulu,
which would greatly shorten the distance
between Atlantic coast cities and Hawaii
The Mexico, Pacific and Cuernavaca rail-
road is probably to be pushed on to Zinua-
tenejo on the Pacific coast, where there is
an admirable harbor. which is described
in the United States hydrographical office.
Many Americans are taking up property
in this section. Cold weather which has
prevailed on the coast will check any yell
low fever.

om the st. Louis Republic.

FROM the st. Louis Republic
Holding the Philippines under the mo-
tive of Republican retention ascribed to his
party by Senator Carter is not justified by
the returns. Measured by the mercenary
yardstick, will it pay?" the course being
followed by the imperiaists is absolutely
without justification.
According to the latest obtainable official
reports, per capita purchases of our
products abroad were as follows: British
North America, SIS; United Kingdom 3d.;
Australasia, So; British West Indies, So;
Germany and Low Countries, "a; Mexico.
81; France, $780, Central America, 81 40;
South America, 81; Japan, 0.40; China, 006;
British East Indies, 0.O15; Philippine
Islands, 0O05.
Last year our total exports to the Phil
ippine Islands amounted to sl04 900. There
are in St. Louis hundreds of establishments
any one of which sells three times that
amount of goods in a year. The present
war, according to the lowest estimates, is
costing us at the rate of $100, 900 900 a year
and the cost is being steadily increased.
American citizens are being taxed $1.25 per
capita per annum to win a trade from each
one of the Philippine Islanders amounting
to one-half of l cent year.
To the shrewd commercial sense of our
citizens there doesn't seem to be a whole
lot of profit in this sort of business.

wild Over Cotton Market

When the fake report sent out from New
Orleans of an advance of az cents in the
Liverpool cotton market reached Mont
gomery this morning the spectators and
buyers went perfectly wild There was a
quick rush to buy all spots offered and one
holder of 50 bales succeeded in unloading
the lot for ~ cents. Many other small
sales were made at similar figures. When
a later message came announcing the first
one as a fake there was a collapse and
some buyers were very blue, while the
sellers were in still higher glee

avs It's an Orpn Ouestior

Johannesburg, September 29-Discussing
the attitude of Germany in regard to the
Transvaal crisis the Rossia says:
ut is still an open question as to whether
Russian diplomacy on the basis of The
Hague conference may not make the ex
pertinent of recommending that Great
Britain and the Transvaal have recourse
to a court of arbitration. In view of the
hostile feeling against Great Britain it is
very possible that numerous volunteers
from Europe will go to the aid of the
Beers as Russian volunteers aided Servia.
If Great Britain attempts to prevent such
a movement Russia perhaps will speak a
decisive word.
