In bankruptcy, before Mr Registrar Linklater, an application was made by Mr-

· Ferdinand Arthur Welti, East Indis agent, 7, East India-avenue, E O., for an order of discharge. The adjudication of bankruptcy wag made on January 30 last, the liabilities being estimated at £12,329. A sum of £92

IMPERIAL DEFENCE.

Mr Balfour'e Speech,

World-wide interest has been aroused by, the Prime Minister's speech in the House of Commons on the problems of Imperial defence. A number of navals and military authorities have been interviewed, There is a general feeling that the Premier was too optimistic in regard to the impossibility of an invasion of England, and that, in the event of grave trouble arising in India, an enormous responsibility would i

of this country. It is thought that the only safeguard lies either in conscription, which is distastoful' to the "nation, or;" failing that, the formation of a National Volunteor Guard, comprising all the able- bodied men of the country, whose duty. will be immediate readiness to meet any attack on our coasts. Continental opinions of the Prime Minister's speech indicate that its significance has been fully appre ciated in the Chancelleries of Europe. In Germany official opinion declares that its enorgetic tone has wholly removed the impression of weakness which had been oreated by the outcome of the North Sea incident. The warning-to-Nussia is, held- to emphasise very strongly the extent to which Russian prestigo. has buffered by the war in the East. In France the speech is held to be very significant. The Temps, the Ministerial organ, saya :-"We know the efforts Lord Kitchener, is making for the development of the Indian Army. We know also the difficul- ties ho has recently met with from certain collaborators of Lord Curzon, Tho fact that the British Prime Minister thought right to allude to it proven that he

Cabinet, though thoroughly pacific-it has given proof of its pacific character-is working energetically to fortify both Army and Navy,' The Bourse Gazette commenting on Mr Balfour speech, Hays:Mr Balfour's speech is one of the results of the international position" of Russia brought about by the events of the present war. Two or three years ago such words would certainly have provoked lively. protests in the Russian Press, and probably would have led to the adoption of measures calculated to modify the transports of British Imperialists. They will now pass unnoticed. Russia has not time to give attention to Central Asian affairs amid the preoccupations of the war and the internal situation. The Novosti says that fr Balfour's speech does not threaten Russia. It only reaffirms the hitherto existing ra lations.-Z. and O. Bxpress.

The following excerpts are from a privato letter, dated Irkutsk, May 10, which has very kindly been handed to us to make some extracts from, and which is interesting as showing public feeling in that quarter. The writer is evidently in sympathy with the autòcrata :—

AN ANTI-FOREIGN LEAGUE.

The recent animosity against things new form in Sanning, and taken skupo in American has recently shown itself in the organisation of a league, the members of which pledge themselves not only not to use things foreign, but also to do everything possible to discourage others from patronis. ing foreign-made manufactures.

The league at present for it has only recently been organised-is small. But the members call themselves. The lovers of their country.

It has branches not only in Sanning, but also in Yanping, Hoiping and in Kongaun,-all populous cities in the richer part of the Canton delta, Workers in all branches of industries are invited to unite, and for once scholars,

The next engagement for the Australians is that against Essox on June 22, so that the second test match could easily have been continued to-day and to-morrow, and still have allowed the Australians to have a day's. spell before commencing their next game, Drawn games are never appreciated, but at Home it is, in some quarters, considered advisable to limit, the duration of the mat- thes to prevent that slow and careful play that might be inflicted on the spectators ore the games played to a finish in every instance. Whether there is such a danger is a moot point. Certain it is that in Australie-where all test nutches are played to a finish-one seldom hears that plea raised, and but few games have boon voted as tedious. Even were the reason a sound one it is hardly right, in our opinion, to bind the players down to a liniited poriod, when the supremacy of the two nations in the sport hangs in the

Looking back on the last two Australian tours in England we find that in 1899 no less than four gut of the five games were drawn the fifth was won by Australia) and in 1902 two were drawn (Australia winning two and England one. Such a result cannot be hailed with gratification by any one, and we opine that the day England falls into line with Australia and permits of all test matches being played right out will be a welcome ono to most who follow th fortunos of either team with interest.

The constantly decreasing space between these two ships would up to a given moment allow of a battle-ship to just pass through.
