An interesting memorandum has been drawn on hy a number of distinguished men suggesting that the Conference should be exiled an Imperial Conference, shivuld be a permanent institution, and should be "er neultative" rather than "advisory."

It is worthy of notice that the outbreak of fire on heart the steamer Stydi's hos resulted in the decision of the Norddeutscher Lloyd in future to provide their new passenger steamers with chemical re-extinguishing appliances (in this case the Clayton process), whereas formerly only cargo vessels belonging to the company were fitted with the installation.

WOMEN AND VOTES.
The saffragettes contizna to agitate and they appear likely to do so till they get something substantial. The fact that Mr. Dickinson's Women's Suffrage Bill was talked out has merely encouraged the guerilla tactics of the violent section, and opponents of the suffrage are to have no peace in their constituencies. Sir Charles McLaren, their staunchest supporter in the House, will try to get Farther facilities for introducing another Bill at an early date,
but the Premier gives no encouragement in view of the overladen cargo of the Government Imeiness. Moreover Beores of members are delighted to put the quation off so that they may not have to rate on it. One member by the way, Mr. Wason, though Colonial bred and Scottish alerted, guse the Honee a beautiful ball in the debates on the last Bill. He heard some interjection from his opponents and begs we always sent a fire pound note forming to them he cried-"Oh, yes but so are distribution expenses, so that the Toy Fund to old birds to rise to that fly." should not suffer.
