STEAMSHIP SUBSIDIES.
The Select Committee of the House of Com-
mons, which is engaged on an inquiry into the effect on trade of State subsidies to steamship lines, has held several sittings. Sir H. Bergne, of the Commercial Department of the Foreign Office, sail, in answer to the Chairman, that he thought it might be gathered from the Consular reports that where there was no direct line of British steamers to a particular port British, trade was affected. For instance, he thought that in consequence of there being no direct line to Zanzibar, much was lost to the figures contained in the Consular reporta British trade. The witness went at length into

There is an entirely different set of con- ditions prevailing on board the great liners. A seaman could not be better off than on board a Castle liner, a White Star, or Cunard liner, ora 1, and O boat. On these you have good grub, good wages, and continuity of employ inent. All the things we want to see made universal the seaman has there. The result is that the men try to keep their berths, and they do not go on board drunk. In the tramp steamer and the sailing ship-and sailing ships are far more numerous than is generally sup posed-there is no continuity of service, and the conditions, generally speaking, are such that there is little comfort and no discipline on board. In the Royal Navy, for instance, 'you have perfect discipline, A sennian knows that as the night follows the day, punishment will follow disobedience.

It simply tends in one direction. Either. a scamen finds a place in one of the great liners ar he leaves the sea altogether. Shipowners and philanthropists may say what they choose, but that is the affect. The life on board the
average tramp steamer or sailing ship at present is not worth living."

The following, appears in the Jhumria Tires of the 12th inst
A rumour, accepted as well founded, was
to the effect that the crew of the steamer Belgika had risen in mutiny while the steamier was loading wood either & Ruling or Zamboanga. It appears that the crew, which is composed of natives, for some reason or other refused to work, and when the Captain attempted to force them to turn to and resume their duties they ignored his orders and became defiant. A | general fight ensued in which Captain Velasco, the first officer, clef engineer and two of the crew were killed. The reports state that the balance of the crew abandoned the ship, which was later found drifting in a helpless condition by a United States gumbont and towed either into the harbour of Zamboanga.or Cebu.
The accounts of the mutiny so far received are rather meagre, but the owners of the vessel are now in communication with the authorities at Zamlayanga and Cebu.
The Belgiku is a vessel of 495 tons and carries a crew of 42. She sailed from this port ed her present voyage June 8th for Zamboanga. H. will be remembered that she left without clearance papers, álthough this minission was finally rectified by the papers being mailed tu the captain.

To answer to the Chairman, the witness said that it was difficult to say positive ly that the increase in German trade with East Africa was solely due to the subsidising of the steamers of the German East Africa Company.

In Liverpool the other day at a meeting of the Marine Service Association Captain Lamb, a shipmaster of 26 years' experience on the Atlantic, made a speech which, it would seem from the newspaper reports, dropped like a bolt from the blue among the members. The gist of what Captain Lamb said may be quoted -
Although I hate all foreigners I prefer them as seamen because of their superior sobriety, The British seamman Is 1 drunkard. The British sailor cannot hold his own because of drink. It is not a ques- tion of seamanship, for when he is saber he can be depended upon and can put the foreigner aside, but nine-tenths of the A.

THE PHILIPPINES.
MANILA, July 14th... A report was received through private chan nels to the effect that General Malvar would like to talk over a surrender. Natives recently arrived from Nayabas state that he sleeps but half a night in one house, so close are the Americans on his heels. It is understood that it is not the policy of the military governor to make overture's, and any time Malvar gets tired of biking, any corporal of the guard is authorized to receive his surrender."
The activity of the troops in Batangas has forced Malvar to transfer his field of operations to Tayabas. Here again he finds the troops on the alert and giving him chase. The fastnesses of the mountains protect him, but he is finding great difficulty in securing supplies.
Malvar made his boast that he would be the last general to surrender. Luchan is the only one out at the present time and it would seem that Malvar proposes to keep his word.New American.
BOXING AT MANILA. Manilas' sporting fraternity is awaiting with much interest the coming event between Walton and Riley at Pasay Market house on the evening of July 22nd, says the Manila Times The management is making every effort for the convenience of its patrons on that date and-indications point to a large audience" who are promised a good clean exhibition of The game.
Riley on his former appearance with Walton was sadly unfit for the go and to his friends the result was not unexpected. For this en- counter, however, Riley is training faithfully and is in fine shape for a strong long contest. Walton is, as always, in the pink of condition, and ready for the, go of his life. That it will be a hard stubbornly fought Light is conceded by the knowing ones and
"That happened in a steamer," added Mr. Bullen, "but the sailing ship is the hell of the sailor. There are splendid exceptions, but the bulk of sailing ships are under-manned, the men are badly fed and badly housed. Under naming in steamships does not matter so much, but it is a serious affair where huge stretches of canvas have to be dealt with."
"And the British sailor, you think, is quite as bad as he is painted?"
1 do not exaggerate. There is no occasion for it, There is no getting away from the fact that there is no finer seaman in the world than the British sailor; but take the average mer chant ship and you will find that on the day of sailing nearly all the seamen go on board roll ing drunk. They tumble on board at the last moment. Go down to the docks any day ant, you will see what happens. You will see the sailors in a drunken state, or in that worst condition when the liquor is dying out of them. The master starts for sea, but he is often obliged to anchor until the men become sober. When they do get over their cups the chances are that the master has got to lick then into shape. The British sailor is a tough handful, and with a mixed crew of Englishmen, Scots- men, and Irishmen a master has a mighty stiff job; and of the three nationalities I confess a depraved Scotsman is worse to control than an Englishman and Irishman rolled into one."
"A new reading of the Scotsman's character, 1s it not?"
It may be yet, it is my experience. This matter of nationality reminds me that on board one vessel t sailed we had a man who came on, board drunk in London, and did not turn to until we crossed the equator. He was a Swede." "That opens up another point. Captain evidently inferred that the foreign seaman was less drunken than the home tar? -
"When foreigners first come to this country and join British ships they are all right, but the peculiar influence of our ships often makes them as hand as the British seaman. Swedes and Norwegians particularly drink as licavity as the British sailors, but they are easier to handle than the British.""

Of railway porters and their curious trans. formations of the names of stations there are too many well-known examples to require quotations. At their bands, the focal names of England are gradually undergoing a come plete change, for the continual reiteration of the same has a twofold result, and it is not easy to know which is doing the more harm. The first, or destructive process, is gene rally accomplished by cutting off half the word to start with, and in the remainder by sacri- ficing all the vowels but one, which has to carry the weight of all the consonants. The second, or reconstructive process, is brought to bear on the names of towns that have local pronunciations differing from the assumed sound of the written name, and it is the railway which has done more than anything to expel: 5. X. Co.'s steamer Anding Maru leaves at such names as "Ciceter" or "Sapstead," which are now almost as often called as they are
daylight for Foochow via Swatow and written, in the full glory of "Cirencester" or
Amoy. "Sawbridgeworth." For this kind of cha go the schoolniaster is primarily responsible, as he is for the substitution of "Durby," "Burks," and "clurk" for the more actually more cor- rect as well as mure usual "Darby."." Barks," and "clark" sound of the "er combina It is not the fault of the school master, nor evert of bis absence, that has brought about the, disfiguring process that we bear so constantly applied to names of places, It is the necessity for continual repetition that causes the gradual changes of vowel-sounds, or the discarding of syllables that are them: phatic, or a little tiresome to shout, over and over again. In a street of ordinary length, the itinerant vendor's call must be repeated hundreds of times; the omnibus con- ductor, thanks to the ingenuity with which the painted name of his destination is lost in advertisements, is forced to sing his monotonous sang for hours together and the railway porter has little else to do than to reiterate the name of his station on the arrival of every train, for years un cid-The Pilota
