a party leader was entitled to expect the support of the principal members of his party. But as Lord Oxross stated in his letter announcing his resignation, "It was with as much distress as sur prise that I found that my publie de- chrations were met with a challenge from a quarter which it was impossible for me to disregard, coupled with a refusal at a time of national crisis to meet me in council." The quarter," of course, was Mr. LLOYD GEORGS, who had written an artele for the American Press depicting the situation in England in unmistakably defeatist terus." He at tempted to support this attitude hy criticising the official standpoint of the Liberal Party, by attacking the state. ments made by Lord OXFORD and Vis. count GREY in the British Gazette, and finally by refusing to attend a meeting! called by Lord OXFORD to consider the situation. Mr. LLOYD GEORGE has since

A successful dance was held at the
King Edward's Hotel last night by the ship's company of H.M.S. Hermes. The "Semrch" band provided the music. The dining room and lounge of the Hotel were converted into a big, ball-room, and the floor was all that could be desired.. The room presented a very gay scene, the walls and ceiling being decorated with national Bags. This was the second suc- cessful dance held by the Hermes since her arrival: the first one taking place about a fortnight ago.
TROUBLE ON THE S.S. "HONG PENG.”

Socialisan-to form a party calling itself Liberal and acknowledging no allegiance but his own, Mr. LLOYD GEORGE has also retained control of the party finds. This an intolerable state of things was created yesterday, for stealing a bar of type Colony on Thursday that the 1.5 Hong-
and the course taken by Lord OXFORD
was inevitable.
What the ultimate outcome will be is very difficult to prophesy. The disap pearance of Lord OXFORD from the leadership will not heal the breach in the ranks of the Liberal Party, which has been shaken to its foundations" by his retirement. The party, indeed, will be come more than ever the prey of sec tional controversies. Personal jealousies and rival ambitions will have faller scope and they will be intensifed by that confusion of principles and ideas which brought on the crisis. Liberals will have to make up their minds under which king, or rather which fing, they desire to serve. They will consider whether they will be with Lord GREY of Faloden, Str Jous Sikos, Mr. Ruscias and other prominent Liberals who ding to the traditional principles of Liberalism, or whether they will follow measily in the steps of Mr. LLOYD GEORGE until that nimble politician nails the Socialist, colours to the masthead, as, some of his critics are convinced will happen sooner or later.
Lord Oxford has left as a legacy to the younger generation the inspiring example of his public career. It is freely said in England, by commentators on his retirement, that neither in power
nor in opposition has he ever done a mean thing or said a mean word. In all his speechen there has been an elmost
metal from his employers.
Owing to indisposition, Mr. R. E. Lind rell, the First Police Magistrate, was unable to attend the Central Magistracy yesterday, and Major C. Willson, the Second Biagistrate, dealt with the cases.
