MANILA TO BEAT HONG KONG.
Possibility That the Philippine City
will He Imperial City of Pacific.

.The moment we decided to annex the
Philippines we felt surprised that there had
been any hesitation. We saw that our new
expansion was in all respects the most i'm
portant in our history. Not only are there
magnificent opportunities in the Philippines
for American civilization, commerce and
industry, but there is the dazzling posi-
bility of making Manila the center of West
ern Pacific trade. Manila, adjacent to a
population Of S50,000,0OO people, should, be-
fore many years, surpass Hong Kong, to
which Great Britain owes such large
part of her Chinese commerce. The chief
distributing centers of China. Japan. Corea,
Anam and the East Indies are as near to
Manila as Havana is to New York; and the
distributing centers of British India and
Australasia are nearer to Manila than to
any other great emporium. At present we
furnish only one-twentieth of the billion
dollars worth of goods that the countries
within easy commercial range of Manila
purchase yearly Yet the larger part Of
these imports is made up Of goods that we
can supply at lower price than any other
country-tools and machinery. cotton and
cotton products, provisions and mineral
oils."-G. L. Hunter, in Ainslee's Magazine.

by studying on a map of Brazil you can
see that the Para river extends almost due

network OF narrow streams. known as the
Passes. These numerous channels are from
70 to $50 yards In width, and some of them
are navigable for vessels of 10 to 20 feet
draft. These Passes are interesting enough
to those traversing them in small craft, but
to the officers and sailors Of such steamers
as the United States ship Wilmington they
are trebly so. At night there is little to
arrest the attention other than the weird.
dark shapes Of the banks, which ever seem
close aboard. The land being low and fiat,
and the trees near 'theh waters edge, it
seems as II the ship has 4forsaken her nat
ural element and is running overland on in
visible wheels.
when daylight comes dn sudden burst
of light, like the unheralded flash Of the
theater's illumination, there Is revealed on
each side of the narrow channel the forests
solid wall, exposing to view panorama OF
overhanging vines of creepers and foliage
and branches brilliant with the multitude
nous hues of tropical vegetation.
There is strange chattering of animal
life and whirr of winged insects. The dis
cordant cries of myriad parrots echo from
the trees. There Is human life, too. Here
and there EMPOWERED in the jungle, can be
seen little wooden huts, with matched roofs
and sides open to the cooling winds.
