HERR Krupp, the gun king of Essen, Prussia, has just made another gift of 500,000 marks to the pension fund of his workmen, thus rai sing it to 1,500,000 marks.

Krupp employs altogether, including the new shipyards he has started at Kiel, some 32,000 men. He is said to be worth $10,000,000.
The Westminister Gazette urges the reduction of the military staffs which crowd the offices in so many of our commands. For instance,
what earthly reason can there be for not making the Channel Islands into one command, in which case six, officers could, with care-do the work now divided among twelve? At Ceylon, the Straits Sentiments, and half-a-dozen other places, the work could be more cheaply and efficiently performșed, both in peace and in war, with from half to two-thirds of the present number of officers. The multiplication of unnecessary staff officers only leads to multiplication of correspondence, all of which means additional expense.

It is estimated that no less than thirty thousand of the Chok clan aro resident. in the new territory, while another forty thous sand are to be found in Tung Kung and a few thousands more in Heung Shan. It is not. only the Chok clan men resident in the new territory who bave caused the distur bance, but those from Tung Kung as well, who came to the assistance of their clansmen. It is also stated that all of the Chok clansṁço. resident in Hongkong, of whom there were'n very considemble number, have gone over to the new territory to take part in the distur bances.
