MR. FOLLOCKS LETURE. TOTAL Ebatak av tok “Hozaura Trinaariz” DEAR SIR-As I was present at the very able lecture given by Mr. Pollock and public opinion was asked for, though at the time speakers having far more weight than the or dinary man in the street rightly held the floor, may now be allowed to make a few remarks through the medives of the local press. There is one very serious fault with the lecture, a fault that runs through every subject touched upon by the speaker; it is a more or less natura| fault, considering that Mr. Pollock has been so closely connected with the Government. The fault is that he expects the abuses of which he complains to be removed hy Act of Parliament. They undoubtedly would be removed; but, hardly in the manner that would be acceptable either to the lecturer or the inhabitants of Hongkong. He wishes the Government to put certain obligations on to businesstims starting in the Coliny. This policy has been tried in the matter of British shipping and what has been the result? Foreign fines are running us At the time these Board of Trade regulations were made it was said that they were for the safety of the passengers and would be appreciated. They are by passengers re fusing to travel by boats where they are se wonderfully hooked after. Mr. Francis spoke a true word warning when he said that present ly we should have to face the competition of Manila. If manufacturers and their cumployees can go there without these government restric tions, they must certainly will do so.

ENGLISH NURSES INSULTED.
A correspondent of "The Hospital" Nursing Afferor, from Cape Town, who has had a chat with Miss Young, one of the last to leave Johannesburg, where she was matron of the hospital when the war broke pat, says Miss Young, in conclusion, mentioned the following incident --"Several English nurses were asked to prepare a small hospital, and later to nurse wounded Boers in an outlying district in the Transvat... I was one of them. When all was in order and ready for the patients to come in the nurses were sent back after being disgrace fully treated, and even spat upon by the Dutch women of the neighbourhood. People in Eng and should know to what indignities we have been subjected by the Boers."

THE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. OF THE PRINCE OF WALES.
(Australian Telegrams.)
Further particulars regarding the attempt to assassinate the Prince of Wales on the railway station at Brussels show that Sipido, the young 'anarchist, waited until the servant who was handing the Prince of Wales a cup of tea had withdrawn from the saloon carriage. Sipido refuses to divalge the name of the man who instigated him to commit the act, Her Majesty the Queen has stated in answer to inquiries, that she is quite well, though she was shocked at the news of the attack on the Prince of Wales. Her Majesty expressed herself as being profoundly grateful at the Prince's pro- vidential escape. On his arrival at Copenhagen the Prince of Wales received an ovation, Royal Highness being much touched. He received countless messages of sympathy, the senders including the Pope's delegates and Dr. Leyds, the European representative of the
Transvaal Government,"
The Belgian Parliament has passed a notice reprobating the crime. The Socialists re-echo- ed the sentiments of the other members, but protested against Britain's collective crime in South Africa." These remarks caused a tumult in the Chamber. The Emperor Joseph of Austria and the Kaiser called at the British Embassies in Vienon and Berlin respectively to express their sympathy with the Prince of Wales. The honest newspapers on the Con tinent denounce the danger likely to arise from the reckless abuse of Britain.
At the Pro-Boer meeting in Brussels on Tues- day, at which Sipido was present, Queen Vic torin was described as a red Queen and a match for the red Sultan. The speakers also used vituperative language in connection with the Prince of Wales..
DOLLARS FOR THE STRAITS.

The rules are lengthy and techinica!.
THE SURRENDER OF CRONJE.
On the day on which the news of the relief | CAMPAIGN FEELING IN CANADA. of Ladysmith was received the national anthem was sung by the company during dinner at several London restaurants. At one, some en- thusiastic youngster, seeing a man in uniform enter, pounced upon him, and, despite his When protests, cried him round the room. he was released, some one asked him the name of his regiment. "Regiment was the surprised teply, "I am the doorkeeper!"
‚ANOTHER INSULT TO IRELAND.
A line of automobile tourists' coaches is to be in the trish Lake district. The route is $5 miles long, and with the present horse
traction the journey bas to be spread over two days. The roads are very good but there are two mountain passes which will try the hill- climbing qualities of the motors. If they prove successful dil the horse coaches will be
abandoned.
The whole world luas seen, and everyone has admired, the noble manner in which the sons. Canada have been fighting in South Africa for the mother country. That, however, writes a representative of the Pall Mall Gazette, who is travelling in the Dominion, is no more than the surf of the great wave of Imperial feeling that is now dowing through the whole country. Like the surf, it may be seen from afar. But go nearer, and what do you find? The splendid patriotism of the 3000 men from Canada who is shared to the full by more than three millions are enduring the hardships of a great campain
left at boine.
From what I have seen, and from what have beant from well inforined quarters, I am convinced that, with the possible exception of the lower French and Irish quarters-and even they are turning round-there is not a man in the whole of Canada who would not willingly shed his last drop of blood for England, and there is not a woman in the Dominion who would not encourage him..
On the day on which there came the news of Cronje's surrender I was travelling for nine ours through New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Every village and every town was talk some time ago, said one of my fellow-

All the speakers at the meeting spoke very eloquently in the overcrowding question and, perhaps in theory, they were quite correct. I half their proposed measures were adopted we should not have any plague, as there would be no one able to afford to live in Hongkong, The fact that all these so-called improvements have to be paid for by the consumer of tenant ⚫ seemed to have been quite overlooked. Make the landlords pall down half their houses, and they will immediately double, or generally triple, their rents, for the remaining houses. The poorer European's have 10 pay or else lose their living, which is not always practicable. The same thing applies to all Lovernment intervention; it gives a very plausible excuse for raising the price, an excuse that is invariably acted upon. Again quoting Mr. Francis, economic and political laws do not apply in Hongkong, as the area available is restricted. Quite true. This was recently made apparent to the public of Hongkong by the case before the Supreme Court by Mr. Befilios It was when he pleaded "Ancient Lights."
