The population of the Philippines Is ap
proximately S.tm.ooo people, and the huai
ness done amounta annually to about $40.-
gold value. All of this business
that goat through bunks Is handled by
three institutions, two British and on**
Spanish-Filipino. These three are Indeed
Gh- oni y batiks In Ihr archil** lago worthy
th* nam**. There Is only one savings
hank In Manila. It Is run by the church,
••nd la somewhat In the nature* of a pawn
► hop an wdl as a savings institution.
The three banks, which have a mo
nopoly of exchange, discounts and cred
its. are said to be earning enormous divi
dends Frank G. Carpenter writes from
Manila to the IMttshurg Dispatch that
one of the British hanks L taking prnttts
at tho rate of D per cent, a year, while
the other one and the Hpunish-Filipino
concern are doing almost us well. Every
oollar that passes through either of them
I* made to pay liberal tribute. In some
cases one bank charges toll for cashing
Its own checks? Americans in the Islands.
It Is said, are praying for the establish
ment of an American bank to save them
from the rapacity of the three concerns
now monojjollxing the business.
Hut according to Mr Carpenter, It I* a
Question If an American national bank
can be established In the I'hlllpplne* at
any time soon. The Hpun!*h government
gave the Spanlsh-Flllptno Hank a conces
sion by which It was the only concern In
the Island* that could Issue note* of cir
culation. The bank claim* that the con
cesalon *llll holds good; thut It Is n vest
ed right, and I* protected by the term*
of the treaty of peace between Spain and
the United Slate*. There Is, however,
some cloud upon Iht* claim. The bunk’s
concession from Spain, would have ex
pired by limitation next year, MM. After
the beginning of the war. and when It
became apparent that the conqueror
would claim the I'hlllpplne*, M Is sakt
the managers of the bank applied lo the
Spanish government for nn ex
tension of the concession for twenty-five
years, with a view to claiming li to be a
vested right when peace had Intervened
If eht* I* correct. It I* believed by lawyers
who have studied the mailer that the
Spanish government's concession will mg
hold good. The question Is likely to en
gage the attention of Congress during
the next session. It I* something of an
anomaly that there I* United States ter
ritory In which the United State* govern
ment has not the right lo charter hanks
of Issue tinder Itw law*. The Spunlsh-
Ptitptno Hank hu* Indicated ll* Intention
of "fighting for It* rights under Its con
cession from Spain, and the Paris treaty."

growth, ha# had con sale ruble to do with
th* f. I that In several Instances exorbi
tant prices bad lo la* paid. The r* suit of
this situation of affairs Is that the attrac
tive and healthful plan upon which the
city wis laid out by |ts founder. Is
disappearing in the new sections of the
city a it* I disconnect rd street* are taking
the place of the once method!* a I north
nnd south, east *nd weal, thoroughf ires
Interspersed with the open squares which
are considered the city's most attractive
featur*. This condition of affaltw Is not
of recent dale tn I cannot be laid at ihe
door of any particular idmlntatratlon. In
fart, It may be said to the credit of the
pnsent city administration that ex-Alder,
man Williams 11*1 a great service to Ihe
city in correcting the laches of some of
his prelect ssors on the committee on
opening streets.
The situation seems to call for some
special legislation on the subject. It la
sail, under the law. the city cannot ac
quire land for streets tteyond lt corporate
limits. Thla of our>' pula it to the ne
cessity of taking the chances after the
extension of the limits, and often of pay
ing a very much larger sum than the prop
erty needed might have been acquired for
had it been procured prior to the exten
sion. The only remedy for this trouble
-**ma to In in an act of the legislature,
which might be secured without diflb ulty.
l*errniMing th* city to a*-quire options on
or litl-s to lands beyond tta limits to be
us*d for street extensions, and. where
necesssary. to condemn such land* aw will
tw needed. Such a law would work Injury
to none and would unquestionably be of
benefit lo property owners, giving them
as it would, ihe advantage of knowing In
atviin< *• where th** city’s streets would
run und thereby making their property
more valuable and marketable. A regular
plan for laying off the city's streets could
be agreed m*n anl the land for
such streets acquired by degrees. As the
situation now stands street opening is not
only expensive, but frequently the streets
lo not follow the old lines, thereby pro
ducing dh**ati*f it lion and marring th*
plan ui>n which the city was originally
laid out-, a plan that has always hereto
fore attracted the attention of visitors
and of students of municipal economy.

The skilled lahor problem seems to h
Ihe chief difficulty In the way of the de
velopment of an American silk-producing
Industry. Handling the worms nnd co
coons requires delicate and expert manip
ulation. Ttie South has an abundance of
cheap labor, but It appears lo be not the
kind that can he adapted to so fine and
pains-requiring an Industry as silk cul
ture. Many efforts have been made to
perfect automatic machinery for reeling
the cocoons, without success, hence It re
mains that a considerable amount of hand
work I* necessary. The Federal Depart
ment of Agriculture expended over 2100.
on a single reeling machine, and then had
lo abandon It.
However. Southern California I# nl the
from with an effort to make silk culture
pay. It Is claimed for that aecilon that the
right kind of tabor can be developed, that
the climate Is especially suited lo the .-n
--lerpiise. that the season I* six time* ns

efforts. If silk culture can he made a

nishes some startling figures to the Lon

number by no lea* than SO per cens. That
It lo say. while the total of general dir
case has steadily diminished, lung trou
bles. pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis
Phthisis and kindred complaints have
enormously Increased. *o that whereas
the sum total of Invaliding on home sta
tions has gone down, the Invaliding
caused by complaints of shls order has
more than doubled. The fart that with
the abolition of masts and sails the men
are Infinitely less exposed to eold and
wet than they were | n former days doe*
not seem to have any material effect upon
the stsUMtton. Cap! Huron suggests that
making the men live In unllned steel
ships may have something to do with
the matter, but thl* Is not regarded as an
adequate explanation Another suggestion
Is that the greaser heat nnd the over
crowding In the interiors of modern war
ships may exercise unsanitary Influences,
but no really satisfactory explanation
has been found.
