To Accomplish More.
With a view to broadening their efforts
and accomplishing further good in the lines
along which success has already crowned
their labors, the promoters of the library
are now seeking the aid of persons in all
parts of the United States. There are hum
dreds-thousands even-who will take a
personal and financial interest in it, they
believe. 1t is pointed out that money is
needed and much Of it with which to pur-
chase grounds which are desired in the very
heart Of Manila. and the erection of
building which shall combine convenience.
comfort and architectural beauty. Money
is also needed for placing the best of litera-
ture in good binding upon the shelves. Con-
gressional legislation has been asked for
the library, but is not relied upon with
perfect certainty A contamination of all
that is wished for the institution may best
be brought about through the requests Of
philanthropic men and women, with the
assistance of popular subscription.
Donations of literature are usually disap-
pointing, especially in the case of the Ma
Mia library. Poorly printed books on poor
paper and in cheap bindings quickly fall to
shreds in that humid climate. A judicious
expenditure of money will alone secure
creditable library, especially since 1t Is pro-
posed that the reading room shall display
the very latest current literature in the
neatest DRESS The Hong Kong and Shang-
hal Banking Corporation, at Manila, is
treasurer of the library. and through it
many subscriptions in checks and drafts
have been received from the United States.
The promoters are all persons Of promi-
hence, and their labor, so worthy in pur-
pose and energetic in character. is meet
ing with recognition in the shape of gen.
erous responses to their communications
regarding the needs Of the library.

A LIBRARY IN MANll A
1T IS INTENDED FOR THE USE OF
AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
Center of Sentiment and Intelligence
plans for the Future-Hopes
and Needs.

Tn tho midst Of martial Manila there has
haen established an institution which. its
promoters hope, may become the raoiatils
center of American sentiment and lnteih-
eence in the far east. 1t is proposed as
ptft from occidental civilization and en-
uohtenrent to the new oriental metropolis
of the United States. The institution Is the
American Library Of Manila.
It was established through the formation
of an association Of representative people
of California which came into existence last
November Mrs. C. r. Greenleaf. then
about to sail for Manila, was appointed di-
rector of the library. After her arrival In
the Philippines several informal meetings
were held of all interested in the proposed
institution, and in due time the following
officers were elected: Mrs. c. R. Greenleaf,
director: Mrs. E. H. Liscum first vice direc-
tor: Mrs j. H. Page. second vice director;
Mrs. F. r. Day, corresponding secretary
Mrs Sherman, associate corresponding sec
rotary: Dr. E.W. Pinkham, recording secre-
tary; the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank
ing CORPORATION treasurer. and Mrs. Egbert
widow Of Col. EgberD, librarian
The working policy of the library and Its
scope were defined at a meeting held In
January in the adoption of the following:
1.-The name being the American Library
of Manila, shall be regarded as perpetual
memorial to the soldiers and sailors OF me
their lives in the acquisition and pacifica-
ton of the Philippine archipelago.
"Since the educational project originated
in the mind and heart of the lamented
Lieut.. Col J. D. Miley, it is proposed that a
department of this library be set apart ana
dedicated to his memory, and a speciai
committee now has the matter of this me-
mortal in hand.
.sThe founders contemplate a library es-
tablished upon the broadcast lines and oper-
ated by such methods as shall be consistent
with its paramount American purpose.
While primarily in honor and for the bene-
fit of men connected with the American
military and naval forces in these islands,
its doors will be flung not less widely open
to all citizens and sojourners in this city
who cheerfully conform to its rational reg
uiations The cooperation of the best bus

THE AFRICAN WAR.

On Thursday of last week Mr.. Wynd-
ham made the remarkable assertion in
the English House of Commons that
Great Britain would have in fortnight
1870, 900 regulars in South Africa, 1000
Canadians and Australians and 26, 600
South African volunteers. OF this to-
tai of 213,0 900 troops, with 452 guns all
are now there, with the exception OF
about $4,000 that are now aioat. Be-
yond comparison this is the largest force
Great Britain has ever put into the field.
At the end of the Crimean war she had
scraped together So 900 men. yelling
ton at Waterloo had $4,000 men.
Mr. Wyndman's speech was the
strongest defense the government has
yet put forward as to what has been
done and is being done. The general
tone of the morning papers was that his
figures would astonish the country.
Roughly speaking only 80, 900 are at The
front. Ten thousand others have been

Excluding these, there are 10000
troops who have not yet been in action,
in addition to those at sea. Why so
many effectives have not yet been en-
gagged, is explained by the lack of land
transport and the organization of sup

genius for details.
1t seems as though the weight of these
masses must destroy the equilibrium
which now holds the British forces sta
tionary wherever they are in contract
with the Boer army
Lack of transport and organization
will not explain adequately, why when
generals at the front request reinforce
ments, they get them in rather small
numbers
knowledge is slowly penetrating to
London that large garrisops must be
kept in Cape Colony to hold down the
Cape Dutch who, as every one knows,
outnumber the British residents three

Butler that more troops would be sent
to him, and he began another offensive
movement toward Ladysmith
On Friday night of last week Gen.

and marched north towards Acton

of Ladysmith.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

On Friday Senator Chandler announc-
ed that he would call up the Quay case
on Wednesday, but their was a general
objection Several Senators want the
Currency bill disposed of first. The
whole question of seating appointees, in
cases where Legislaturer have failed to
elect, has assumed such prominence and
has caused so much public discussion
and interest, that there are many Sena-
tors who do not want to establish a
precedent if it can be avoided. The
converting of the California Legislature
to elect Senator to the vacancy exis-
ting in that State, has complicated
matters very much. 1t is not believed
that the Legislature will elect, and if it
again adjourns without the vacancy
being filled, and Col Quay is seated, it
is considered certain that the Governor
will appoint Burns. This, it is feared,
will disrupt the Republican party of
California on the eve of the presiden-
tial election, and the leaders fear the
consequences, as they may effect the
ELECTORAL vote of the State this fall.
President Mckinley transmitted to
Congress the report of the Philippine
Commission recommending territorial
government for the islands, and refused
to interfere in the Kentucky affair, say
ing that that was a matter for the Leg
islaturo of tho State to -sottle-
One of the most Important chapters in

of State Hay, on behalf of the United

Great Britain, 1attached their signatures

celebrated Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which
on more than one occasion has almost
threatened to become casus belli, was
80 modified as to permit the United
States to exercise sole and exclusive con-
troll over any isthmian canal which may
be built, England surrendering any
rights which she possessed under the
terms of that treaty.
On Tuesday the Senate agreed to take
up the financial bill after the regular
routine business of next day, and con-
tinue it without interference until COM
