MANKIND IX THK PtfH.lPriYE*. The population of the Philippines Is ap proximately S.tm.ooo people, and the huai ness done amounta annually to about $40.- gold value.

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.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3. lOOrt. I* YBBOKD.

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. *II.K <ll.ll HP. 1% riI.IKIINMI.

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.
