GENERAL CHAFFEE ON

The following latter, written by Gener.I Chaffee to Major Health, of Montan, has been accorded somewhat wide circulation in the United States.

TO-DAY'S CHORAL, FESTIVAL.
At I p.m. this evening there will take place at 8. John's Cathedral the first Dlomaani Choral Festival ever held at this port, a festival which will, we trust, be the precursor of many others, With the nimount of ninsical talent available in Hongkong there seems no reason why the service should not become an annual me, as indeed it is announced on the programme. The regular Cathedral shoir to day will be reinforced by those of 8. Fotere Church and the Military Church, and by the band of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers. The work ohosen Er por formance is, as we aur ounced some weeks ago, Gaul's "Holy City." In this the soloists will beSopranos, Mrs. W. H. A derson and Miss Loureiro; Contraltos.

DO FAST ATLANTIC LINERS
PAYP
The policy of building very fast liners is discussed in Engineering, apropos of a con- tribution on the subject of shipping subsidies by Dr. Ginsburg: Comparing the Deutschland and the fvernia, the former is the larger by about 15 per cont, but the cost would be nearer 50 per cent. greater than 15 per cent. The German ship has screw of 533 persons; the Cunarder has but 257. The indicated hors power of the Deutolland is given as 35,003; that of the Ivernia is 1C, The Isernia carries a huge cargo, as well as a fair number of passengers, and has been running steadily ever since she came out, the Deutschland did not run between November and April. Still, it must be remembered that ados coants for something. Taking these and other points into consideration, Dr. Giaslarg can fades that speed beyond a certain limit is not commercially desirable; and that therefore, if military con siderations demend it, the State must give adequats inducements. At present the anal subvention of £77,813, divided amongst seven companies, is really triding; and it may
"the subsidies are be agreed that tainly not sought by the companies," as au Admiralty witness waid before a House of Commons Committee.
