Morgan sCombine
Strangles China
By 3. c. FORBES.

The Morgan interests claim they were
asked by President Taft TO plant an
American financial foot in China. They
responded by planting spiked boot on
chlna's throat.
The Hearst newspapers all along have
protested vehemently against the strsn-
quIatlon Of the new republic by the COM
bhation Of International bankers. The
iniquitous exactions Of lenders who in
sisted upon being also the spenders have
been held up TO condemnation from time
to time. The six-Power Banking Group,
holding a pistol at china's head, original
ly demanded AFFECT surrender. They
sought to force the needy government to
grant the usurers a monopoly for thirty
years, during which the schemers could
virtually dictate the terms China must
pay them for every dollar borrowed. No
other banker or syndicate of bankers was
to be allowed to do business with Pekin.
The hold-up was so shameful that the
Chinese authorities, beset though they
were with pressing necessities, offered re-
sistance. Their plight aroused worldwide
sympathy, and the sextet was obliged
to modify its terms.

DINGS
OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL
FOR 81. GROIN.
(Contnu cd from 1viS No. 62.)

~ OFJ
The Chairman (Kalmer) remarked that
he took it for granted that the Daft would
80 into u Committee and there was therefore
no need of much discussion now.
His E.rceH6mcy said that in the Ordinance
OF oath January II. c. concerning the issue of
Police Regulations for the Municipality of
st. Croix it was decided, that Government
should lay a Draft of Police Regulations be-
toce the Council. 1t would take too long to
pass through all the paragraphs; some were
rev, SEINE were already in operation and
some were taken from the Police Regulations
fE st. Thomas. Government had had the
assistance of the Policemasters. Govern
ment felt uncertain whether these regula-
tons met the wish of the Council and His
Excellency would therefore ask the Council
to consider the Draft as q basis for discus
sion, he was sure that several paragraphs
wanted improvement. His Excellency would
already mention one--about the dogs. Here
he lacked experience and would therefore
leave it to the Council to find a proper solu-
ton. If the Council considered the Draft as
q basis for discussion and not as an ultima
tum the result would surely please both the
Council and the Government. His Excel
lency considered it wise to let the Draft 90
into q Committee before discussing it's details.
End Member for Frederiksted Town (lLer-
win) said that the Draft had only been a few
days in the hand Of the Members and he had
therefore not had time to look thoroughly
into the matter. But there were a few points
to which he would like to call attention.
He would ask if it were not possibly that the
English language in the Draft could be bet
ter. F. inst, should, which gives an option,
was used instead of 'shall'. And now when
we get Police Regulations concel ming the
automobiles it would be we'll to have the Re
guations in good English for the sake of the
foreign firms and agents who would ask for

The Chairman (HaInaer) would like TO say
a few words concerning Peters F.rm
Hospital. On the Budget was granted
1000 Frcs. for the hospitals for night

when any law was passed here, it generally
was not we'll received outside, the electors
said that after the elections the members of

REMARKS.
BY amendment to the Draft of Budget for
the financial year 1912 Ii was granted sub
the abovenamed item Frcs. 1000 for extra
nurses and disinfection at both hospitals,
according to specified accounts.
For several reasons this amount has been
exceeded.
Frederiksted's Hospitals Commission did
consider 1t necessary during the last 5
months OF the year to employ an extra night
guard for a monthly salary Of 25 Frcs.
The great number of typhoid-fever cases
caused an extraordinarily large expense for
disiAfection.
And moss of all, the Commissions have
considered the amount granted as only con
corning free patients, while they were of
opinion to be justified in exceeding the
amount granted in 50 far as the excess was
c"nsed by extr"-nurses for paying patients.
There has been used IN all:

But Bartlett did not answer, did not

fascination, the tall youth walking be-
side the widow, her ridiculous dog in
his arms. 1t was Jeroboam Martin in
an immaculate white suit of Berries.
His hat was off and his hair, after the
swim, cleaned soft and yellow. For
the sake of the widow upon whose
boat he found himself, he had shaved
as we'll as he could with Henry's
razor, and while his cheeks were
smooth enough, he still wore a small
yellow mustache and goatee. Both
were brushed until they shone like his
hair and they lent a fascinating and,
distinctly foreign air to his long, thin,
clever face. In his arms was the lit.
tie dog with its enormous bow of sky.
