Pernonnl Rule in south Afdca.

Mr.. Montague White, who Is now in
this country trying to stimulate the
sympathy of the people Of the United
states with the cause Of the Beers, and
who was, until the breaking out Of hos
tlltties, consul general Of the South Az
rican republic, ut London, has a very
strong article In the current number Of
the North American Review dealing with
matters which provoked the war He
claims that the prime cause for the OUT
break is the growth Of personal rule as
embodied in the High Commissioner Of
South Africa. Mr.. White declares that,
with the exception of Sir Hercules Rob-
inson, every High Commissioner since
1877, through obstinate disregard Of To-
cal sentiment, has borne himself ohten-
sively toward the Dutch and Dutch In
terests as the personal representative
of British supremacy-even in Cape
Colony and Natal, where the Dutch are
co-equal subjects of the crown. Mr..
White holds Sir Alfred Miner to be
largely answerable for the war. He
says:
"Slr Alfred Miner has had magnifl-
cent opportunities for doing benehcent
Imperial work in South Africa. But In
stead Of using his great influence in re-
moving the distrust and unrest in South
Africa, which were intensified by the
clumsy diplomacy of Mr.. Chamberlain
after the Raid; INSTEAD Of checking and
sternly REFRESHING mischIeyous and re-
dictionary organizations like the South
African League, Of which Mr.. Rhodes
is the president; instead Of ignoring and
misunderstanding the frenzled efforts
of the local newspapers, which are
largely controlled by Mr., Rhodes, he
appears to have utilized all these bane-
full forces for the purpose of bringing
about this disastrous war in South AZ
RIGA, the far-reaching consequences Of
which no man is able to foresee."

our Trade with Pacific Countries.


In line with the policy Of the admin
istration in the Philippines comes the
comforting and encouraging exhibit Of
American commerce last year with the
islands ana countries Of the Pacific.
According to the report Of the treasury
bureau Of statistics trade with these
sections shows a greater gain In the
year 1899 than that with any other part
Of the world. our total exports in-
creased S2O,OOO.OOO, and our exports to
Asia and oceanla alone increased over
S1s.OOO,O 900; our total imports increased
S1sl.oOO.OOO. and Ns,OOo,OVO Of this I'M
crease was from Asia and oceanla-
Exports to Asia and oceanIa increased
twenty-seven per cent, while imports
from that part OF the world increased
forty per cent
OF this increase Of $2oOOO,OOO In ex-
ports to Asia and oceania over $s,OOo.-
900 went to British Australia, $l,OOO.OOO
to the Hawaiian Islands, $4,OOO,OOO to
China and the remainder distributed to
the various countries and islands of
that part Of the western Pacific, while
Of the imports from Asia and oceania
Sl2,OOO,OOO were from the Dutch East
indies. S11.OOO.OOO from Japan. 100000
from the British East Indies 100000
from China and SG.OOO0OO from Hawaii.
OF the increase in exports, the large
proportion was in cotton, cotton goods,
machinery and other manufactures of
iron and steel. The increase In our ex-
ports to China was largely in manufac-
lures Of cotton and that to the Ha-
waIlan Islands and Australia manufac-
lures of all kinds, the large proportion.
however, being machinery and general
manufactures OF iron and steel.
with the ''open door of China as
sured to US, and taking into account the
showing made above. the question of
the retention Of the Philippine Islands
under our control is made much more
comprehensive and confirms the wis
dom and persplcacity of those who are
advocating that policy. Without the
great Pacific archipelago we would be
deprived Of many advantages which
their possession would undeniably in
