UNSTABLE CONDITION.
Buxiiiess Men Will Ask Congress
to Draft Relief Measure at
the Next Session.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 12-Vicf-Governor
Luke K. Wright of the Phili
ppines, speaking of financial affairs in
the Inlands, said in an Interview that
the money market Iscontlnually fluctu
ating. "A bill to afford the necessary relief
was presented to congress, but not
passed," said he. "I think that for
the benefit of commerce, the matter
should again be taken up at the next
session of ingress. It has been sug
gested that a Filipino dollar of silver
should be introduced in the islands.
This dollar should be worth actually
60 c-nt of our gold money. I thins:
such a coin would remedy the present
financial situation. Such a monetary
system would be similar to the one
now In use in Japan."
'It has been suggested that a limit
ed number of Chinese say 100,000 be
allowed to land In the Philippines. Do
you think their presence would relieve
the present labor shortage" was asked
"I would not like to see the doors
thrown open to the Chinese." said he.
"Skilled labor yea. If limited, would
certainly prove beneficial. Some of the
Chinese are very clever and they
would be able to teach the Filipinos
many of the Industries."
Governor Wright, accompanied by
his wife, expects to leave for the east
Thursday night
SITUATION IS SERIOUS.
Further Decline in Price Causes P.ise
in Exchange Rate.
MANILA, Nov. 12. A further de
cline in the price of elver has forced
the government to raise the rate of
exchange to $2.50 for 81 gold.
The cheapening of silver has result
ed in increasing the losses of the gov
ernment and all other holders of sil
ver. The mutability of the present cur
rency Is seriously damaging business,
and members of the civil commission
and representatives of the commercial
Interests in the islands will unite In
making a strong pica to congress for
the establishment of a non-fluctuating
currency.

NEW YORK. Nov. 12-With refer
ence to the report that Germany and
Great Britain intend acquiring IVrt
ugUMU East Africa, M. Desousa Rosa,
the Portu.ru ?se minister to France, In
an Interview said, according to a Her
ald dispatch from Paris:
"There is not one word of truth in
the report, and believe me, if I con
sent to make such a categorical dec
laration, it Is not because similar re
ports with resrard to the Portuguese
colonies deserve a contradiction. On
the contrary, they refute themselves.
Their very extravagance is sufficient
proof of their Inaccuracy, but I con
tradict them emphatically and unres
ervedly solely for ihe purpose of put
ting the public on their guard, as 1
am convinced such reports are put Into
circulation for speculative purposes.
"Portugal has not the slightest In
tention of parting with her colonial
podcie-Lsions nor of rny portion of them
either to Great Britain or any other
power.
"Furthermore, to prevent any possi
bility of error or misunderstanding I
may assure you that the British gov
ernment has not made any proposition.

uguese territory In South Africa.
