on coal stone unturned in their endeavour to set on foot an agitation against the Chancellor of the Exchequer's proposal; but so far as members of Parliament are con- cerned, the more the matter comes to be con- sidered m all its bearings the greater is the conviction that the suggested impost is a step in the right direction. It is admitted that same concession should be made to meet the case of contracts which have still a considerable period to run; but, for the rest, there seems to be a consensus of opinion that the coal trade is well able to make a special contribution to the Ex- chequer at this period of national entergency.

A New Type of Battleship. The Toulon festivities have given rise to special interest in the battleship of a new type which, under the name Regina dfargherita, will shortly be added to the Italian navy. Compared with other Italian battleships, the Regina Margherita is small, uncasuring only 130 mètres in length, 2384 mètres in breadth, 524 mètres draught, and 13,426 tons displacement The armament consists of four 305mm, gurs, arranged in couples, twu at the bows and two astern; four 203mm. quick-firing guns in armoured emplacements ;twelve 152mm, quick- firing guns in an armoured redoubt-six on each side of the vessel; sixteen 76mm. quick-firing guns in amoured emplacements, and cigla 17mm. quick firing guns distributed throughout the ship and on the armoured bridge.

A PASSENGER HEAVILY FINED.
One of the cabin passengers by the last trip of the Hongkong Maru sailing from San Francisco was B. R. Banning, a capitalist, interested in sugar stocks at Honolulu, who was so anxious to get to that place, in conse quence of advices received by the steamer China that is paid $773 for the privilege of sailing in the langkung Maru. The vessel is under a foreign flag and cannot therefore, engage in trade between the Coast and Hawaii, the penalty for carrying a passenger in viola tion of this law being a fine of $200. Banning was willing to pay the regular fare of the 577 and this fine, but Agent W. H. Avery of the Toya Kisen Kaisha was averse to accepting him as a passenger, even under such an arrangement, until he was assured by Collector of the Purt Stratton that it would probably be all right.

THEFT ON THE N.Y.K. "KASUGA-MARU.”
News was received in Sydney from Brisbane on April 5th of a theft on the Kasuga-maru, which left Sydney on March 28th. It appears that one of the passengers from Sydney had a quantity of jewelry in his luggage, valued at Lago to 300 Shortly after Traving Sydney he examined his trunk and found the valuables missing. He at once reported the matter to the captain, who had a thorough search of the vessel made, but no trace of the missing jewelry could be found.
"On arrival of the steainer at Brisbane, says Sydney, dispatch in the Melbourne Argus, information of the theft was at once sent to Sydney. There is a strong suspicion that the articles were taken just before the steamer lett the wharf at Sydney.

St. George's Day.
St. George's Day in London was favoured with brilliant weather. Though there was some falling off from the enthusiasm of last year, number of persons were roses in honour of the occasion, and the flower-sellers in the street ind provided themselves with large stocks of white, yellow, and red blooms. Flags were hoisted at several of the principal churches. A special service, organised by the English Church Union, was held at St. Paul's, Knights-bridge. The Rev. Baden-Powell and the Rev. J. B. Le Béton Girdleston, vicar of St. Andrew's, Worthing, ofteinted. The So- ciety of St. George celebrated the occasion by A banquet at the Holborn Restaurant the festival of the patron saint of England. The festival was officially observed on 23rd ulto. for the first time in the Royal borough of Windsor. By the Mayor's orders the banner of St. George was hoisted over the municipal buildings. The bells of St. George's Chapel were rung in honour of the day.

The Imperial Theatre. Under the management of Mrs. Langtry the Imperial Theatre adjoining the Westminster Aquarium, resumed on 22nd ulto, the position as a West End house it took twenty-two years ago under Miss Maric Lition. After the struc tural alterations, amounting to complete recon struction, which it has undergone, it is one of the most convenient and comfortable as well as one of the prettiest of houses. With the exceptionally brilliant audience which in spite of the postponement of its opening it was able to secure, it looked one of the most attractive buildings at present dedicated to the stage.
The auditorium walls are of white marble with. decorative panels in the front of the dress circle, and with green bronze enrichment, the superb drop-scene being of dark green velvet with a brood border of gold. Two boxes, one on each side of the stage, are marvels of Oriental magnificence. It may be doubted whether, allowing for the limited scale on which the whole is carried out, the art of theatrical decoration has ever been carried further. The piece performed was A Royal. Necklace, from the Freach of M.M. Pierre and Claude Berion..
