THE Supplementary Naval Estimate for £182,000, to which the House of Commons readily agreed on 26th March, brings up the total cost of the navy for the present financial year to the sum of £21,330,000. That is an enormous figure, and not very far short of double what the navy was costing the country fifteen or twenty years ago. It is, however, as the London and Chinä Express asserts, safe to say that there is not an item of ant public expend Lure which the country, 1◄ whole, grudges less. A PLEASANT plc-n'c'was given yesterday by the Seamen's Mission to some 140 children and llors. Three launches were chartered to take the party to little Hongkang, where a landing. was made. The chaplain (Rev. Mr. Hilffe) and older gentlemen stranged a programme of sports, which were keenly contered and some 30 prizes, donated by friends, wese presented to the various arccessful competitors. The day passed most enjoyably and there was no lack of good fare for all The mission is to be agala complimented on the kind.y thoughtfulness with which it seeks to make pleasant the lot of poor Jack when asko e.
It is stated by a Chinese correspondent, wrliing from Tientsio, that the Tsang-li Yamen bas yielded to the representations of the Russian Legation on the necessity of putting upåssparate telegraph wire between Teitelbar and Helampo, to be used only by the Russian railway cosatruc tion staff. užs, says the China Gazette, also sisted that a ceparate wire will connect Helampo, with St. Petersburg, where the head quarters of the railway are situated. It la understood that both laes will be only used for work in connec tion with tab constraction of the sallway, and, more curtons still, that they will be taken down agala,as soon as the railway in Goirbed.
They have also texpressthe's gratification at finding that Your Excellency approves of and ts giving effect to the sugestion so frequently made in the past by the British, commuuliles to China, that Her Majeny's Minister should occasionally visit the Treaty Parts and hear, reż, and Investigate for himself; and the members of the Association mos: earnestly hope that this may not be the last time they shall tee you in Hongkong on your way to and from the southern ports, but that it is only the first of a regular sciles of visits lõ be made periodically by your sell and your successors at Peking.
It is of happy augury that Your Excellency has in the first year of your residence to China brought to a successful fasue so many questions of importance long under consideration, and the members of the Association feel usired that the result of your exertions' in opening up the trade of South Chlas will be as, satisfactory to the mercantile and trading community as it. must be to Her Majesty's Government.
If the Association may be permitted to add to their congratulatioox and good wirkes one word of suggestion it will bita sabmit for Your Excellency's consideration that until some investigation on the set of all disputes and arrangements have been made for the immediate difficulties that may arise in connection with the West River trade, either by the establishment of mixed tribunais or otherwise, and for a speedy settlement of all claims locally, the trade cannot be conducted as smoothly and as profitably ai It ought to be, and wil fall to expand'la any. thing like due proportion to the extent of country nominally opened up.

Captain Tolett said many sestebolders were diasailified regordi g the work of the mine. It had gone on for five years and they laund the present result. The commany was now almost landed in bankruptcy and still hopes were held out that some blag would loro up.
Mr. Blamey said he invited criticism on his report to the last meeting of directors. There were statements made there that he should very much like to reply to. (Her, bea)

M. Blimey then made explanations regard. Ing his previons report. In 1895 they had no cyanide or calcioing works and they had them now erected and working this largely added to the expenses. He went into delall regarding the treatment of concentrates and talinga and said that by the present treatment of tailings they could get 2 dets, to the too. It did sot cost one panay more than ever and the only cost was that of carrying the fallings 30 ft to the mill. As to the dividend, it had been said there was had become poorer.

than the misc.
Mr. Georg asked how was the labour expense to be reduced.
Mr. Bamey read a detailed Hat of wages, &c., that be proposed to reduce by $20,108 28, and he gave farther detalls as to the numbers of Eurons and Euzsives at the mlats.

Mr. Blamey then read his report, which he ld was mide" at the guest of the directors The report, which pressure of space compels us is bold over, dealt exhaustively with the mater of expenditure at the mars. He said he Haddy dend. He next spoke on the subject of taken the cap-nacs of the month of January Kaa basis to work upon. The January expenses were $tf99 and he had found that on the mutes labour oe could save $1,100, and by reducing the European-staff a farther saving of $1,100 could be made.

It would be an easy and simple way of getting the money, bat b thought it would not succeed, If the shares were not taken up they would be in a worse pastion than nefore. He thought it best to shares al 85, giving shareholders new shares to Teconstruct the company and fasua 60,000 the value of $4 and leaving $3 to be called up as the directors thought necessary.
Mr. Georg said he agreed with the proposal, for preferential shares, but he wished to know what provision was made
The Chairman replied that the preferentis! shareholders had to consent before the company could be re-constructed. The cost of recon- "struction should not exceed $500.
Mr. Blamey, replying to Mr. 8. A. Joxepb, said the pocket of gold, he had no doubt, was a lot ofļspecimens picked up when breaking down the stone in the stoper.
Mr. Hough, speaking of the scheme for re constructies, said there would be a lot of dis- satisfaction among preferential shareholders if they were suddenly to have them taken away after holding on to them for years.
Mr. Gerrg so'd be thought that, as the prefe rental bareholders had to contribute towards the cost of the reconstruction, they should have the same sister as before
