' I ilr. bmzuo Kondo, president cf-the Japan-American Commercial and Intl us trinl association of Tokyo, Japan, deliv ered an address the other, night before the Manufacturers' association of New' York at its headquarters in Brooklyn borough on the possible advantages to bo derived through commercial inter course between Japan and tho United states. Mr. Kondo1 urged the construc tion of the Nicaragua canal as an outlet to tho Pacific. He began by referring to tho older and once powerful nations cf the old world and the desire cf the mod ern nations cf Europe for strong support from one another, saying that stanch Germany bad: been obliged to invite an alliance with Englaud, France had sought Russia, find that England now had a liking for the American eagle Then he added: "Speaking unofficially, I nay say that Japanese money is being put in large amounts on Uncle Sam. The mar velous conquests of western men have swept away old conditions, and today the commercial center of the world is-rushing-from the Mediterranean Fi;a to l oth shores of the Atlantic, where it now controls. The conviction comes heme to ycu in no uncertain manner that the present Atlantic commercial supremacy is seeking an outlet into the racicfi oceans Through, the Nicaragua canal an enterprise greater than that of ' tho Suez canal, becanso it will eer tuiuly'revolutionize all trade will paEs a commerce unequaled in the history cf the world. Whosoever accomplished this gigantic work will be greater and nobler --' than aliy king or empercr cr man who ever lived for the reasou'that this canal will bo the searchlight of civilization and pi ogress to the 700,000,C00.of that population -which li,ves about the shores of the Pacific ocean and in its islands and will awaken these people to the blessings cf liberty, independence, pros-" perity aud education. ''The dawn cf Pacific supremacy will date from tho successful ceb.ieveu.ent cf the Nicaragua canal. Pacific ca Lies will undoubtedly Le completed bout the, same t ims. thnj linking tho trailo of youT Pacific coast to tho western borders of South America, Australia, Hawaii, Ja pan, Korea, China, Philippines, Straits Settlements and even India. These coun tries are universally accepted as the future-markets of the world. Under no circumstances should tho United fctates fail to utilize every opportunity to con trol Pacific trade. "The motive for your recent war, to deliver the neighboring, island cf Cuba from slavery, misadmiuistrtion and anarchy, together with various acts of , your government in tho determination, was the open announcement cf justice, righteousness and humanity, and has been highly applauded by Japan. . Ha waii has already been annexed as a side issue of tho war theTi.tural sequence of political expediency and public pol icy. Once you have annexed Hawaii the ' retention cf the Philippines is expected by all tho powers concerned, avowedly or tacitly, es tho rightful fruits of con quest. Furthermore," I firmly ' believe that your act cf rotaiuiug tho- Philip pines is tho act of humanity and civil ization. Tho formal presence of the stars and stripes in the critical eastern . amphitheater would eventually clear up the treacherous clouds that have long been hanging over our horizon. Indeed your participation in eastern affairs is greatly desired by nil Asiatic nations, and especially by Japan. "Japan looks to the conclusion of a reciprocal trade with the United States as tho first step in promoting growth of closer commercial relations and clearer political understandings. Since Japan was awakened by tno pat enc error cs oi the United States and ii . pired by the : genius, brains and minds of tho Yankee she has cinicklv adopted the spirit of modern civilization and has made a rec ord of national progress never equaled. Japan's purchases from abroad become larger every year. . Your exportation to Japan increased about 65 per cent in ,-. JS97. The United States, will find Japan a profitable customer rather than a dan gerous competitor. Our people look up on the United States as a sister pation and regard her people as our benefactors and firm friends. "Yoq here witness tho representative uf tho entire population of Japan in the Japan-American Commercial and In dustrial association, the object of which is to encourage the consumption of American products in Japan as well as in all eastern countries, to ameliorate any difficulties in existing methods of trade aud to secure a reciprocal traffic between the United States and Japan. I lirra'ly believe that tho time has now come lor a vi'toious ntovetuent ou thc part of American cxan.er. ial and in dustrial bodies to co, operate, with us in guiding tho current of Pacific commer cial supremacy ' 'rTlip expansion cf African export trade clearly demoa'tr.i!s tho' need. of carrying bottoms under-its o-vn flag.

The pioneer merehantmeu cf Great Britain madoa thorough exploration fcr years, and have been patiently catering to eastern markets, following closely the business requirements and commercial necessities cf these markets: educating the people to the consumption of west ern products with, tbe .v. ti in ate object cf Anglicizing these profitable markets. "The result of this missionary work was to monopolize Asiatieade to such a degree that tho word British' came to be considered a synonymous term for all imported goods,' until the recent amazing industrial eleveJcpment of Ger many encroached in that quarter cf the globe. The export trade of the United States has grown very rapidly in the last year much faster .than that of any other nation. "he fact is shown that while United States expertsto- Japan increased 65 per cent in 1S97 over 18CG, the total increase cf expert to Japan from all other countries is ruly 28 per cent in the same year. "The unlimited natural resources bi the-United States, in time worked up by the genius and brains cf enterprising Yankees, are bound to prevail all over the world. Even as it is today, your flour, cotton, sole leather, rails, nails, watches, kerosene- oil, cigarettes, electrical ma chinery and supplies, boilers and en gines, tabes and pipes, locomotives, railway materia!, leather belting and other innumerable prcducts are the principal exports from tho United States to Japan and are accepted without any Bpecial effort having been made by your merchants.

"The recent war has proved that you have an army, a navy and. boundless re- sources. The cry cf 'Tie member, tho (Maine !' was heard not only by tho Span iards', but it echoed around the world.

( lho ccEigus of Spain in uc'otiaticns about to commence with tho United btates may cause some surpriso in America, but uot'so'in Europe, where Great Britain and all continental gov ernments have been informed by their representatives in Madrid cf the inten tions of the Sagasta cabinet bpain ttoes not propose to raise any fresh discussion on the points settled in the Washington protoeel of Aug. 12, the surrender of Spanish sovereignty over Cuta, the cession of Porto Rico and of aJ station in the Marianas islands. The Spanish commissioners will be in structed to maketheir stand mainly up cu the question of the Philippine is lands, upon the Cuban debt,' upon the compensations Spain contends she is en titled to fcr what she has done aud leaves behind in Cuba and Porto Rico, upon tho transfer from Spain to the United States' of the obligation to guar antee the interest of the capital cf the Porto Rico railways and upon the con cessions Spain is anxious to obtain for her trade in Cuba and Pcrto Rico, even if only for some years, to tide over tho serious crisis which-her agricniture, her manufacturing, shipping and financial interests uro drifting into, with the loss of markets that took 30, 000, 000 of pen insular exports in 1S94, before the re bellion. Tho Spanish commissioners will in voko the letter cf the protocol, desfeite the fourth article, to argue that neither the government nor its interim repre-. seutative at Washington, M. Carnbon, had ever contemplated more than the cession of an islanel in the Mariana group for an American, coaling and na val station, and certainly not the ces sion of Manila, and much less. that of the whole island of Luzon. They will be empowered to say that Spain attach es the highest importance to keeping in her possession the island of Luzon and Manila, which are and have been for centuries tho principal field of Spanish rule, the capital and the stronghold of the Castilian archipelagoes. Spain con siders that her prestige and authority over the natives will receive a death blow if a foreign power establishes it self in tbe heart of her archipelagoes, in the most important and prosperous is land of the Philippines,' in territories where the whole fabric of her colonial system had been, most extensively and successfully developed. From the very outset, therefore, the commissioners of his Catholic majesty will state that Spain would fain aban don her oceanic possessions if she is not. to be allowed the liberty of action, free from foreign annexation, control or in tervention, wnicn uation and govern ment think indispensable to avert'the complications and serious consequences everybody can easily foresee, and to make possible any results out of the heavy sacrifices in men and money that Seain is willing to make in the fay east only if she is allowed a free hand to re establish her rule and prestige in the archipelagoes.- If America is not too exacting in the settlement of the Philippines question and should President McKiuley allow Spain to keep Manila and the island of Luzon; not only will the - Spanish com? i rnissioners offer naval stations in the Marianas and Caroline islands, Guam and"Ponape, but they will undertake to promise very extensive; reforms and lib? erties for the Filipinos, with an almost '.unlimited' amnesty for Aguinaldo aud' the allies cf Dewey, and Merritt. Little as Spaniards relish the idea of colonial self government, they are disposed to make great strides in that direction and, even toward religious toleration and commercial concessions to retain" their hold over eclcnies that they fancy can yet compensate the loss of the Cuban and Porto Ricau markets. It is perfectly understood that the government of tbe regency would pledge itself by the treaty of peace'with Amer ica to grant the Philippines, if not the other archipelagoes also, administrative autonomy ; civil instead of military ad ministration ; a local assembly, with power, to fix the general and local budg ets cf tho colonies; representatives IB the imperial cprtes much like those tbe West Indies . had ; the Kepasation of church and state, which would imply a decrease if net tb3 extinction of the in fluence of the unpopular religious or ders; the admission of natives to all branches of the civil service ; the toler ation of. native clialects in the "Schools, tribunals and churches; great reforms in the colonial tariff aud harbor regula tions; disestablishment of state and re li'ioas real prt perty ; extensive altera tions in t;;xai ion, in navigation and fishing regtdatious, and the exemption from ail nzival and military expendi tare, ueacicforth to ba covered by tbe mother country. . - Anv one. acquainted with tho pnrjnaices and inveterate re paguaace cf tbe iuajoiity cf Spaniards for home n o la tii.eir colonies cau con ceive how k-eu .uiust bo their desire to fave tL-e last remnant of their colonial fiir.r.i-.-B ta induce them to fio so tar in the' oath of very utrnlea'sant concessions The Sp;;ni?!r- commisfciouers will be instrnr f.u iomahb ttrehuous efforts to !t! a iniii'tte" :i'- c'----of Hakt ESSKNCK fiF..(j!XGKH wii! rt;i t- any vfti.;.r-: i-Af . i Cbc.

In 1878 1882, 1886, Spain progressively consolidated the debts and engagements contracted ..to put down the great,, rising of 1868-78 in Cuba and tbe deficits arising out of budgets, in which the revenue always fell short , of the credits required for these debts and the cost of maintaining Spanish rule. - ':;'" "' The Cuban consols of 1886, $124,000,- 000, were again insufficient, aud in 1890 the government mooted the idea of a conversion of the 6 per cent bonds of 1886. For this purpose in 1890 the cortes authorized the creation of $175,- 000,000 of 5 per cent bonds, $14 1000, - 000 to -take the place of what was . left of the 6 per cent-bonds of 1886, and $34,000,000 to consolidate deficits, war note isssues and other floating debts accumulated between 1886 and 1890. Only the latter portion cf the issue of 1890 was placed, and tbe conversion of, the debt of lSSGwasnot carried-out, and the $141,000,000 cf 5 per cent bonds was lodged" in the colonial office at Madrid, from which it tas taken by the government of Sencr Canovas del Castillo, with the authorizaton of the cortes in 1&C5," to be used for the ex penses oi tho civil war that broke ont in February, 1895. All seusiblo Spaniards understand that they can therefore un n ois ask the United JStatos and Cuba to undertake the payment; of tbjlui.:i f-t and amor tization of. theso 141,0p'o.tjG0 cf 5 per cent Cuban bonds of iS90 than they could ask America and .Cuba .to under take to pay interest and amortization for all the loans and debts subsequently contracted by Spain to go on with ber struggle with the Cuban insurgents that culminated . in an equally costly war with the States, Besides tbe bonds of ,1890 Spain has actually thus raised more than $300, 000,000, guaranteed by the national treasury, though on paper stated to be advanced to the Cuban treasury for re establishing order and Spanish rule. On what grounds could such debts be charged to the account of Cuba under an independent republic cr American ; annexation, and would the Cubans not have very strong grounds for declining to have anything to do even with tho debts existing in 1895, when the last rising took place? It "is only very recently tha the financiers- of France, who -started an anything but prosperous railway in Porto Rico . sorje yiiars ago, asked tho "r:u gcTcrnniens'pQ tase some steps to secure a guarantee from the Ameri can government for the interest of thb capital employed in this railway. These foreign financiers plead that the Span ish parliament had promised the guar antee of the state for an interest of 8 per cent per annum on the capital for eigners advanced for this enterprise. This is, however, one of the many ques tions which were never, in fact, satis factorily settled, since quite as many Spanish lawyers declared that it was Spain, that had given this pledge as cnerewere otners wno aeciareu mat tne pledge had only been given by the in sular treasury. No definite reply could ever be elicited in parliament from many successive cabinets, despite ques tions put in the cortes-, Sepor Canovas, when consulted,' most emphatically stated that the imperial guarantee had been given by the cortes only to the Cu ban and to no other colonial debt or en terprise, ; Lastly, the Spanish commissioners at Paris will be instructed to ask the United States to use their influence to secure for Spanish imports in Cuba some special advantages and to grant the same imports concessions in the tariff of the United States as well as in all countries under the flag of the Union, like Hawaii, Porto Rico and whatever territories Spain may cede in the oceanic archipelagoes. The bill voted by the cortes is very sweeping, as it empowers the government "to re nounce sovereignty in Cuba ami to cede territories in the colonies. " New York Post. ". . ; Santiago i.-.'

"His selection by the peace commission is said to mean that the negotiations 'between the conmis sioners of Spain and the United States will not be conducted in French, as has been asserted, but in English and Span ish. The experience had with tbe;prijto ool is said to: have brought about this determination. The protocol had first to be sent -to Paris and translated into French and then to Madrid to be trans lated from Frenchh into Spanish. .The Spanish answer had to go through a like course. The result was. a great! deal of delay, which both nations were;anxions to avoid. ... ; i y ' , As France is to have nothing to do with the peace negotiations beyond the fact that they will be held in Paris, tbe United States commissioners feel that it will be far more expeditious and satis factory to. drop out I the third and un necessary language. Tho Spanish com missioners will doubtless look upon tho matter in the samo way. With the as sistance of Mr. Ferguson the Ainerican commissioners can be sure they are get ting the exact speech of any of tho Span ish commissioners, while if the third language were used it would ! be much more difficult, inasmuc h as only two of the American commibsioners have a knowledge of French. Probably the Spanish commissioners would I be like wise handicapped.

Throughout the kingdom of Italy an Italian kills an Italian every two hours during the entire year by means of the knife. Such are the official ' statistics which were recently placed before me by Baron Garofalo, vice president and leading spirit of the association which, under the presidency ' of , Queen Mar guerite and the patronage of King Humbert, l?as been formed to" put down homicide by depriving it of , its all toe convenient and all too universal weap on, the accursed knife. During the 865 days of thejyear 1897 there were placed on record 5,380 homicides by means of the knife, a total beside which the list of killed iu the sanguinary battle of Custozza, and even in the holocaust of Abba Carima, in Abyssinia, sinks into Insignificance. Italy is, in fact, engaged in a personal war with herself, which costs her on an average 5,000 lives an nually. 1 : : TJie league, or association which has recently been formed under these royal auspices has very rightly and cleverly placed ( itself in communication with the vaiious labor unions and trade as sociations, and among the first of tbe labor associations to take up the matter , with enthusiasm and with vigor has been the Union of Associated Printers, which includes some of the most public spirited and energetic of the working men of Borne. The league likewise has secured a promise from the-" premier, General Pell onx, to submit to the legis lature, when it meets again, a law reu dering it a penal offense for any one te carry one of those knives with which in nearly every case murder is done in Italy. In order to realize how utterly inadequate the tribunals hate shown themselves until now to put a stop tn crime by means of the knife, it may be mentioned that the annual average o homicides in Italy alone surpasses that of all the remainder of Europe put to gether. .

The relations between the two countries have never before been so intimate and so agreeable. On both sides of the ocean the conviction is almost . universal that a clear and cordial and friendly under standing between Great Britain and America is a necessity of civilization I shall hold myself singularly fortunate if I am able adopting your own words to do anything to continue and strengthen the relations of fraternal amity between our two nations." There is no more admirable public speaker in England or America than Colonel Hay, whose departure from this country will be a sou roe of regret to every Englishman who knows how strong and keen an American he is When Colonel Hay says, in reply to the address presented to him by Mr. Bryce, that an Anglo-American understanding is a necessity for civilization, he not only states a great truth in the most impressive form, but he speaks as man who will assuredly help to turn it into solid fact.

The appiaching visit of Emperor William - to Turkey is now arousing considerable interest. The sultan is making extraordinary efforts to please the emperor during the latter's stay at Constantinople. The palace intended for his reception is being fitted up with lavish luxury. The decorations alone will cost 1,500,000 marks ($325,000). Emperor William wiir stay about 12 days at Constantinople. The Turkish troops, it is asserted, are somewhat dis satisfied on the subject, as their arrears of pay have been devoted to the expense of Emperor William's visit. The preparations at Jerusalem for the vis't of Emperor William are in full swing. Streets are being cut through the city, and the regular mountains of rubbish in the bazaar quarter have been lemoved. Tho garrison cf Jerusalem is especially active in drilliug in order to impress tho empercr, though many of them are barefooted and wear nonde script uniforms, while the officers are little better clad. All of these soldiers, however, are to receive new uniforms for the festivities organized in honor of the vieifc cf Emperor William to Holy Land. "New York World.

Cattle don't thrive in the Philip pines, fcneep are.net found there. Po tatoes don't grow in the arcbipelaJ ;o. Vegetables are everywhere scarce, sc it Eeems, and the peas and asparagus no gets come mostly from France or G as many. In peaceful times, .gone by, to -be sure, the industrious Chinaman In his -little garden raised delicacies for- the table of foreigners, but. now that -most of these almond eyed Celestinls.' have retired wih their dollars to China . tomatoes, lettuce, beans and corn are probably scarcer. Chickens and eggs are two great Philippine standbys and al ways seem to form a groundwork for every meil. Beef from poor wornout bullocks, shipped up from Australia, likewise has its usual bright place to fill, but mutton and potatoes have to come over from China. Fruits Manila has in plenty, and what with mangoes. mangosteens, oranges, bananas, pineap ples, grape fruits and melons selling for . a song the market is well supplied. All meat in Manila and other parts of the islands is eaten fresh killed, Bince ice fails to preservo fish, flesh or fowl, and game and fcrwl are always sold at tho markets alive. Living. was very cneap m juanua during my Etay, and our cock got but 40 cents with which to provide tho dinner for for people. And we would have such dishes as soup, nsh, chops and peas, roast chicken with potatoes, beans and corn. salad, dessert and fruit quite a repast for so small a sum. The milk available . in the Philippines rarely comes from the Jersey cow, but is a product of tho "carabao," or water buffalo, and tastes somewhat oily. Oatmeal and cream aro things unknown, and tho former is now said to be too heating for a hot climate -diet. Chocolate seems to come under the same category, and even inangoes the fruit with tho smooth, turpentine taste have to be eschewed by him who suffers from prickly beat. - Bread, too, is not eaten so much as toast, and the foreigner almost always insists on get ting his "pan tostada" in order that any lurking microbes which the bread may have absorbed during the t process of manufacture in the little Chinese bakery may be destroyed. In conclusion, 'as to food, it must be said that, in peaceful times, Manila fare is not bad, though" it lacks variety, and such articles as one gets in the ordinary menu at the club or in the res taurants seem amply to supply the de mands made on tho new arrival by the -climate. Heavy or heating foods, suclh , .as oatmeal, baked 'beans, plum pud dings, chocolate, and the like are best left alone, and in my mind, the lesa al cohol one takes the better. Claret and selters make one of the cleanest drinks ' to be imagined, and one better than a brandy and soda or Eomething of the same strong make up. Cor. Medical News. , ' :.'- - ' ABOUT SKIBO CASTLE. it Title Will Be Placed In the Nam . of Little 3Iarraret Cameffle. The period within which Mr. An drew Carnegie had the option to pur chase the estate of Skibo, Sutherland- . shire (where he is now residing), being about to expire, he has elected to ac quire it, but has resolved to take the title thereto in- favor of his ,little daugh ter, Margaret, who will thus beepme proprietrix. It is stated that Mr. Car negie is negotiating for the purchase also of the adjaceit lands of Creich and Clashmore from : tho Duke of Sutherr land. The tenants aro highly pleased with the prospect of becoming tenant of Miss Carnegie, whose father's urban- . ity has already won him many friends in the north. A Scottish contemporary says: "Ski bo castle is a comparatively modern residence, but it is expected that Mr. Carnegie will expend a very largo sum in extending and renovating it. Indeed,. the probability is that the. work will be carried out on eo great a scale that tho eld building will be merged in the new, and that the Skibo castle of tbe future will be a palatial and practically new residence, having all the luxurious fur nishings and equipment of the most modern mansiens, including an electrio light installation. The estate is not an extensive one, as highland estates go, but it has a full share of natural beauty and variety. Good shooting and loch fishing are found on the estate, and as Mr. Carnegie is fend of salmon angling it is probable that ho will rent a part of one of thofiuo river3 in the vicinity."
