IMPROVEMENT IN PHILIPPINES.
A Report Was Made by the British Con-
sui at Manila.

LONDON, June THE report of the
British consul at Manila, Mr. Hartford,
on the trade of the Philippine islands in
1899, was received at the foreign office
May z. He said the collapse of the in
surrection and the reopening of the
ports restored confidence and produced
great commercial activity. The contin-
uance of prosperity, however, he added,
was dependent upon circumstances, for
though the ports Were safe, the interior
of the islands was quite the contrary,
and it will depend on the state of the
country whether further exports are
forthcoming. He explains that the i'm
mense size OF the country renders re-
storation of law and order difficult
task, as the influence of the leaders ap-
pears strong enough to prevent the 9th
erwise willing natives from surrender
ing
Improvements, he said, were visible
in every direction in Manila, and the
work of draining the filthy town bitches
and stagnant pools, he asserts may pos
sibly entail epidemic, but its advantage
to posterity is inestimable.

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
Senator Morgan Thinks II VIII Pass by
a Large Majority.

NEW YORK. Nov. % Senator John
T. Morgan, Of Alabama, is quoted In a
Tribune special from Washington as
saying in an interview about the Mica
ragua canal project:
Il can see no reason why the canal
measure should not go through this ses-
sion. Every senator who has thus far
returned to Washington has expressed
his willingness ami determination to
vote for II and nave no doubI that
large majority OF the senate will vote
for the bill when the time arrives. The
trouble has been and is likely to be in
securing permission TO consider the bill
When a vote is taken great majority
will vote in its favor.
Il am irI favor Of the ratification Of
the Hay -Pauncefote treaty and
think this treaty will be disposed Of
fayOrably.
The question OF fortihcations along
the canal Is one which has more inter-
est for the countries Of Nicaragua and
Costa Rica than for the United States.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica own the
ground and ought to have a right to
say just what they want In this direc-
tion. II they want the right to fortify
the canal then there will be some ne
cesslty for the discussion Of this sub
ject. but so far as the interests Of this
country are concerned the matter is OF
very little consequence. Some Of the
military authorities may take the
ground that in view Of the uncertain
character Of the governments Of South
American republics few Notifications
might be a good thing. This Is an
opinion that does not bear on the canal
projecr proper and is Of no great con-
quence. Let the nations owning the
land have their say in this respect and
let US not worry over IT,"
