evidenced by the fact that just previous to
the American occupation the number OF
civilian Spaniards in Manila was estimated
at only 500
The number of Englishmen in the islands
at that time was between 80 and 100 These
consisted largely of business men represent
Ing English firms doing business In the
archipelago The Spaniards opposed rather
than encouraged the English to enter into
large commercial enterprises, lest they
should become well established and import
from their native country people to form
colony. The number Of Germans in Ma
mia previous to American occupa ton did
not exceed $50, while the number of Ameri-
ca Ms here did not exceed four This foreign
element endeavored in every way possible
to introduce modern methods but to no
avail, while the firm with which the only
American business man in Manila was con-
nected was fined repeatedly as a means Of
ban1shing him from the islands Such a
spirit upon the part of the Spanish govern
ment of the Philippines could have but one
result. viz. that of destroying the business
prospects OF those already here and Of dis
couraging the establishment of other lines
OF industry by thrifty Americans, English
men and Germans
This, however. Is but a memory. The
present government invites all honest, in
telligent and thrifty men of whatever ma

islands all that they have lost and all that
they might have gained by a broader gov

Historic Wood for Boston's Poor,
F-om the Boston Post.

F-om the Boston Post.
Nearly one thousand cords Of wood have
been delivered in the East Boston tunnel
from Chatham Row to Merchants Row,
underneath State street. The wood was
found a few days ago by the men who
are excavating for the tunnel. It is being
given free to all who desire to carry it
away The remainder is being carted to
a field in SWEET street. Roxbury. The poor
people who need fuel can have 1t as long
as it lasts. The wood Is what Is left of
the old corduroy road that once ran from
the waterfront (Which at that time was
at the rear of the custom house, back to-
ward the old state house. The wood Is
about twelve feet below the surface. On
top of the mud were laid layers Of huge
logs. and then over these layers of small
timber were filled in and crisscrossed for
several feet. Over all pavement of heavy
bridge planking was laid.

RESOURCES OF THE PHILIPPINES
Riches to Be Made in the Archipelago
The Soil Productive.

From the Manila Review Of Trade.
It IS doubtful If on the face of the earth
today an area 80 large as that of the Phil
ippine Islands can be found which contains
such vest population together with such
virgin resources in every line of industry
So prodigal Is nature Of her gifts. and so
productive Is the soil of this archipelago.
that only a scratch. here and there Is
necessary to the support of eight million in
habitarts. That the resources Of the islands
have never been developed is due to the
fact that Spain discouraged effort In that
direction by others than her own people.

production Of anthracite coal. Concerning
the wages, he expressed the belief that the
evidence on the wage question juStifieS the
position of the operators. Continuing, he
said:
First, The testimony clearly shows that
the wages now paid are fair wages; that
they compare most favorably with the gen.
eral wages Of the country, and that men
willing to work honestly and exert them
selves do earn annually sums in excess Of
the average.
Second. The fact that there Is an excess
of labor in the anthracite regions confirms
our theory that the wages are high as COM
pared with the general wage scale Of the
country, because every one knows that
labor Is attracted to the place where wages
are highest
Why Foreigners Come.
Third. If the wages arc again advanced.
then instead Of diminishing the existing
excess Of workmen, it will be Increased by
new workmen coming to this field. Some
thing has been said about the operators
importing foreigners. I never heard OF It
before These foreigners come here be-
cause Of the reports made by the men al
ready here Of the improved conditions and
they will continue to come so long as such
exceptional advantages are offered.
1.-THE demand for an eight-hour day Is
production. 1t must be apparent to every
one that restricting breaker operations to
eight hours day must necessarily limit the
output of the colliery, and to that extent
must not only decrease the wage fund pay
able to the miners, but 1t will decrease the
supply to the public, and tend to Increase
the price Of COAL
