Securing Our Trade With China.

1t is plainly the opinion of the adj
ADMINISTRATION that we are in the Philip
pines to remain permanently, and
that such burdens and disadvantages
as 60 with the establishment and eN-
ercise of authority there must be
counterbalanced by whatsoever bene-
fits we may be able to derive from
general strengthening of our CONNER
eial position in the Pacific. From the
business standpoint the most import
ant thing to make sure of is the OPP
portanity for the normal increase of
the trade of the United States with
China. Cur commerce with that en-
pire has increased rapidly within the
past decade, but its present dimen-
sions are small indeed in comparison
with what may be expected at the
end of another ten years. The only
thing TO fear has been that our chances
of trade would be diminished by hos
tile tariffs erected against us in those
Chinese providenees where the Rus
SLAMS, French and Germans have been
establishing spheres OF influence.
our trade has been protected
under treaties with China which en-
title us to the advantages OF the most
favored nation. 1t is now reported
that our government through its am
bassadors has asked the European
to give us written as
that their new claims aud
pretensions in certain parts of China
will not be asserted to the prejudice
of our trade. The United States has
no wish TO participate in the division
of Chinese territory, and will be en-
tirely satisfied ii its existing CONNER
cial privileges are not disturbed. 1t
is supposed that our position in this
has not only the most active
and earnest support of England but
also the cordial assent of Germany.
Japan's approval is also evident.
With England, Germany, the United
States and Japan in agreement re-
garding questions in the far East

otherwise than accede to reasonable

In the death of Captain Gordon, the
