LORD KITCHENER AS ARMY: REFORMER.

The commands are overstuffed. The regiments are work.

There is insufficient mounted infantry. Defective transport.

The distribution is faulty.

All India (adds the Express) is looking with keen interest to the contest which is expected, between the Viceroy's Council and Lord Kitchener, when the lattor demands mony for reforms. The members of the Council are opposed to reorganisation, and as Lord Kitchener is sent to India to look up the defences, there is sure to be a battle for supremacy between him and the military | member of Council over the appropriations for military work. The Commander-in Chief in India is practically subordinato in matters of finance to the military member of Council, holding much the same position as the Army chief at home does to the War Secretary.

A CHINESE RELIGIOUS FUNC-

TION.

It is not generally known, not even to very old European residents (says the Streit Tines in a recont issue), that the Chinese, or some of them, occasionally practise a function closely resembling that' of the Hindus in so far as walking on heated charcoal, lying on a bed of sharp nails, flagellation, transfixing the checks with skewers etc. are carried out. Such a function took place during the forenoon of Sunday at a Chinese temple in Ballontier Road, close to its junction with Moulmein Road. From enquiries it was learned that 920 Wee Kim Eng, the uncle of Tan Boo Liat, had in fulfilment of a vow given a four days' wayang performance, commencing on Sunday, the anniversary of the nativity of the Joss. Three mon, worked up to a very excited state, were the principal per- forners. Two cartloads of charcoal were made into five heaps and set on fire. While they were burning to a white heat, these men flagellated themselves with a heavy globular spiked weapon, about ten inches in diameter. It was fixed to a cord and thrown over the shoulder so that the spikes should pierce the skio. This was followed by cutting the skin of the back (alightly) with the sharp edge of a kris, 455 tons.

One man bled himself freely in this manner, Iron Composite

Coppersheathed. This part of the function was done over Hawthorn's. Thomson's four tubs of water, which was thus made EACH with TWO CYLINDRICAL TUBULAR BorERS and THREE WOODEN MASTS,

As they now lie in the Harbour of Hongkong.

to possess virtue, as the people eagerly washed the faces of their children. Within the temple one of the three men cut his tongue sufficiently to make it bloed. With the ensanguined saliva he wrote what was intended to be a prescription for a female worshipper. The next part of the function was lying on the bed of nails. These were ordinary sharp nails projecting two inches and certainly had a very uninvi- ting appearance. The excited men were laid on this bed one after, another, büt were removed in a half a minute. The fire-walk- ing closed this expiatory or propitiatory function. The fire bed was four feet broad and a dozen yards long, The three.men were joined by others in the feat and some of them ran twice, even thrice, over the fiery space. The function was under the

AN INTERESTING CLAIM.

Cheung Sum Toy, 19 Macdonnell Road, Tsimshatsui, brought an action against Messrs Lauts, Wegener and Co. to recover the sum of $1000 as damages in respect of the defendants having wrongfully let two houses belonging to the plaintiff, viz., Nos, 38 and 40 Ship Street, and also in respect of the defendants having wrongfully received and appropriated to their own use certa'n rents and profits of the said house so let by the defendants as aforesaid, amounting to 8960,

Mr H. E. Pollock, K.C., instructed by Mr Paget Hett (of Messrs Moussey and Brutton), appeared on behalf of tho plaintiff, and Mr T. Morgan Phillips, in- stracted by Mr Gedge (of Messrs Johnson, Stokes and Master) on behalf of the de- fendants.

Mr Pollock said it was clear from the pleadings put in that practically the ques- tion his Lordship would have to decide was the question of the construction of the covenant in the deed of mortgage under which the plaintiffs purported to have exer- cised the power of letting these premises. There was only one question of fact about which the parties might or might not be agreed upon, and that was the question as to when these premises were let. His Lordship would see from the statement of claim that these premises were lot by the defendants to tenants of their own-- that was to say, they did not find the plaintiff in possession and give them notice to pay rent to them (the defendants), but they created a new tenancy. Thedefendants admitted that they did let these premises (or purported to have lot, as his side put it). He said there was a power of letting in the deed, subject to a certain proviso, which provided that the mortgagees would not

Mr Phillips said if he could show that the plaintiff had recognised that latter as sufficient notice then they had comp ied with the proviso in the mortgage deed. The property was mortgaged to the full amount of not less than $11,000. It was plain from the letter of 8th August and subsequent letters that there was difficulty in making up a full and complete statement of the defalcations of Po Yen, the compradore.
