Welcome.
The officers and mon of the "Diadem,"
"Sutlej" and "Hogue" are, according to
Manila exchanges, having a happy time in tho Philipping port.
The newspapers describe the dologa in characteristic Ameri. can style. Under three-column headings of big black type "British Squadron made Welcome in Manils," "The Pearl of the Orient extends a Hearty Greeting to Men of Same Breed"—the Cablenews, amongst others things, sage :
The British are At Mapila ! The ex clamation is not in the scent of terror of the cry Hannibal ante portas which startled the ancient Romans nor is it cause ing the consternation it did 143 years ago, among the Spanish officials, when on the morning of May 16, 1769, the fleet of Admiral Draper sailed into: Manila Bay and at once prepared to take forcible pos- Bession of the city. It is an exclamation of joyful greeting to the distinguished 1978 representatives of a friendly and kindred nation, who will be entertained-royally and made to feel at home during their short stay in these waters.

care
of the sick and wounded in time of war is, however, a duty which the nation prefers to perform through a voluntary channel, and the 'Orel" has consequently been presented to the Japanese Red Corss Society. The British fleet has only one hospital ship-the "Maine "-which was presented to the Admiralty y an American citizen. In time of war the Navy will need many hospital ships, and it would tend to the efficiency of our naval organisa. tion if one or two more vessels like the "Maine," could be acquired for servise with The Atlantic fleet, the equadrons at sea,
the Mediterranean fleet, and the China squadron ought to be provided with such vessels, and this is a field admirably suited

I gradually grow weak and feverish and my breathing became very difficult. I lost all my colour and became so weak and listless that I cessed to take interest in anything.
I consulted a doctor, who, having axamined me, said I was suffering from liver complaint, while at the same time my heart was also in a very bad state. He prescribed for me, but his medicines did not do me A bit of good. I then went to Salisbury.

But it is not, indeed this economic feat is already being accomplished as is clearly shown in some very interesting figures quoted by Sir Thomas Sutherland, chairman of Directors of the P. and O.

From these figures it will be seen that it is quite possible to travel round the world first class at the modest rate mentioned, and landed in much better condition than when you started.

THE ARRESTS AT CANTON,
Viceroy's Proclamation.
On the day following the arrest of the gentry Lai Kwi Pui, in connection with the Canton-Hankow Railway affairs, the Viceroy issued a proclamation in which he justified his action by declaring that the gentry, at the meeting in the Kwong Chai Hospital, at which officials; gentry, and merchants were present, bad insulted the authorities, damaged the dignity of the country and hampered progress,
The Viceroy pointed out the immense difficulty he had experienced in trying to benefit the people. He gave a short history of his three years' personal expedition against the Kwangsi rebels, and said that when he returned to Canton after the Kwangsi affairs were settled, he found the province in a disgraceful state owing to all sorts of gambling being permitted, of the evils by making alterations He endeavoured to relieve the peop'o

Under the reform Introduced by Mr Lyttelton the remedy for these difficulties is to be sought in the establishment of closer relations between the Colonial and Imperial Administrations; accompanied by conditions which will provide for greator- continuity of colonial administration and at the same time dispense with the' neccsalty for an overwhelming mass of clerical work.
Y!
Apparently the leading conception of the scheme is gradually to group together, as occasion may arise, certain of the tropical possessions, to place each group under a governor general and to require of these governors-general so to organise their administrative work that half of it shall be done locally in the colonies concerned, and the other half in England within the walla of the Colonial office and in close with the Imperial Administration.
