MANILA'S NEW BANK.
A Financial Institution Conducted ON
American Principles.

A Financial Institution Conducted on
American Principles.
From the Manila American, August 16.
An American bank will be opened for
business in Manila on September 1.
It will be capitalized at O,OOO, and the
charter secured under the Spanish banking
laws, the same as the other banks now op-
Grating in the city Of Manila. Over half
the stock has already been subscribed.
Maj. H. B. Mulford one of the chief pro-
moters, stated yesterday that he did not
Gle in the way of conducting a legitimate
banking house, and by the 1st of the month
they would be open for business.
The merchants of the city have been
looking forward since the occupation to
the time when bank run on an American
basis would be opened in the city Of Ma
Mia. There seemed to be many obstacles
in the way, and those who indulged in the
hope of establishing a banking business
were discouraged when they found that
they could not secure charter under the
American banking law. The Spooner bill
came and added to the embarrassment.
has a long experience in the banking busi-
ness, saw a way by which American cap
ftal and brains could run a bank without
having to wait for Congress to take action
and authorize national banks in the Islands.
He conceived the idea Of securing the priv
ilege Of establishing bank under existing
laws, place American brains behind it and
the necessary activity SO lacking in the
orient, and make the institution q benefit

WRITING THE PROTOCOL.

Difficulties in Making Chinese and
French Text Agree.
From the Shanghai Mercury, August o.
The Pekin correspondent Of the Echo de
Chine says that the Chinese authorities
were much gratified on the Palace of An
cestors being handed over to them by the
French military authorities, to find that
nothing had been touched and that all the
relics of the dynasty had been respected by
the French. Among the objects returned
to the Chinese were half million Of pearls
and the cases with the collection sent to
France by Gen. Frey and returned by order
Of the minister of marine. The corre-
spondent also says that the terms Of the
final protocol were fixed on 18th August
The paper employed was fine japanese
paper. thick and of square form, furnished
by the bishopric.
The text was written in French and Chi
nese, and long sittings were necessary by
Messrs. Morrisse, Campbell and the other
interpreters Of the legations to resolve the
little difficulties resulting from the 1uxta-
position of the two texts. 1t Is known In
fact, that the Chinese etiquette demanded
that the name of the emperor and other
great personages should be put at the head
Of the lines in a manner to be above the
context. and this rendered almost impos-
crtptions. The sensational story about the
meetings OF the diplomatic corps having
been suspended because Britain refused it's
adhesion to the question of the raising OF
the customs tariffs Is absolutely without
foundation.

SHOULD SHOOT STRAIGHT.
Lessons Drawn From the Defeat OF
American Rifemen.

From the New York Sun.
The annual meeting of the New Jersey
Rifle Association, which now includes that
of the National Rifle Association. held at
the Sea Girt range during the first week
of this month, was the most important and
interesting event Of the kind We have had
for upward Of twenty years. Teams from
the militias of ten states were present:
there were many individual sharpshooters
and pistol shots; but more than these, there
was a team from the United States Marine
Corps, another from the Canadian Militia
and still . third from the Ulster Rifle Assoc
citation Of Belfast, Ireland. The attendance
of spectators showed increased interest Id
the sport, but the shooting resulted in such
a humiliating reverse to our historical abils
ity as rtfiemen that II merits serious attens
ton.
The most important regular match was
that for the centennial Palma trophy. Open
to teams Of eight men, and for the chaup
pionship of the world, its ranges were 500.
900 and 1 900 yards, the distances familiar
to the sharpshooters OF the early '70s, and
the highest possible score was 1,So0.
Though invitations had been sent to tho
riflemen of the world to compete, Canada
alone accepted. Canada won the prize,
with score of LUZ, against 1,4s4 for the
American team.
The special match between Ireland ana
America was won by the Irish team, that
representing the Ulster Rife Association.
The distances were the same as in the
centennial trophy match, the possible score
being 1.S00. At each range the 1rishmer
Increased their advantage over our markAs
men, and won by sixty-two points Thefe
were veterans on the Irish team, but the
Oldest man on the American team, ME.
Frank Hyde was over seventy made the
top score" Of the team, and later won the
s'all-comers' =" match at the same ranget,
with 2S2 out of a possible 800 points. There
are few other sports in which man Of
seventy can defeat younger men as MI.
Hyde defeated his opponents
The result of the meeting ID not crediter
bic to our craftsmanship. We have
neglected target practice. while boasting Of
the prowess of our ancestors. II We Wish
the centennial trophy back we shall have
to work for II harder than we have worked
to keep II. Our defeat this year should
not be final; 1t should merely urge us to
stronger efforts In the future.

SEA SERPENT.
An Ocean Reptile Sighted Near Chuk
ChaO Island, China.

An Ocean Reptile Sighted Near Chuk
ChaO Island, China.
From the Shanghai Mercury, August 30.
The Hong Kong Daily Press has received
the following Official report on sea ser
pent seen last week in local waters:
On Sunday the 18th August, 1901, at II 20
am. as the Chinese customs cruising
launch Lungtsing was steaming at half
speed heading for Boddam Cove, Tungho
Island, in lat. N. % deg. min. 80 secs,
and long. E. lib deg. 4S min. 40 secs, at
about ten cables length from the Chuk
Chao Island, l sighted a dark object on
the surface of the water, one point on the
starboard bow, and which looked to me like
rock. I at once gave the order full
speed astern," and vessel passed about
thirty feet clear Of object, which, to my
surprise, was a large serpent lying in a
round coil, with Its head raised two or
three feet and slightly moving. Stopped
engines and lowered starboard gig. l dis
patched Mr.. Kuster, second officer, in gig
with orders to kill the monster, if possible.
Mr.. Kuster stood in bow Of gig with O
boathook, ready to strike. The serpent
had now lowered its head again, but on
approach of the gig suddenly struck out,
sailor turtle back. 1t then raised its head
to the level of the launch's davlt-about
fifteen feet-at distance of not more than
ten feet from the gig and thirty feet from
gig were scared and prepared to jump over
board Mr. Kuster, still standing in bow
of gig, prepared to strike with the boat
hook, but before he could do SO the monster
suddenly dived and made off. It's action in
swimming was like that Of an ordinary
water snake. The water being clear, the
reptile could be plainly seen a few feet
down. It dived very quickly and made
considerable disturbance Of the water.
We Judged the serpent to be from forty
to fifty feet long and about foot in diam
eter. 1t had a. kind of crest on its head
and two fins high up on the neck, just be-
hind the Jaws. The thickest part of it's
body appeared to be about fifteen feet from
the head, tapering both ways. It's head
was as big as Rugby faat ball, with large
eyes and mouth, opened wide when striking.
It was Of a very dark color on the back
striped and mottled, but lighter on the
belly. L .yt
AS soon as the serpent disappeared and
we on the launch had recovered from our
first surprise ordered the ten-barreled
Nordenfeldt to be loaded, and launch moved
slowly round for fifteen or twenty minutes
in hopes that the reptile would reappear,
but not doing so, vessel proceed on her
way to Boddam Cove.
