The Tzarovitch,
LONDON, 24th August. A manifesto from the Tzar on the baptism of the Tzarevitch, provides for a general re- duction in common law sentences, an am- nesty for political offences, except murder; it abolishes corporal punishment in the rural classes and for first offences of soldiers and sailors, remits various arrears of taxes; as- signs three million roubles for the benefit of Finns not possessing any land; remits fines imposed on Finnish Communes for resisting the conscription laws and on Jewish Comi- munes where Jews have evaded military
service.
LATER.
The christening of the Tzarevitch was a gorgeous ceremonial; 301 guns were fired, and the capital lavishly decorated.
Battleships to be dismantled.
General Wirenius has informed a corres. pondent of a Paris paper that owing to in juries the Askold, Diana and Grosovei will be dismantled.

ON THE GREAT BARRIER REEF
Some of us in Hongkong who have sailed over summer seas, and been in the vicinity of the Great Barrier Reef, will appreciate the fol lowing anicle clipped from an exchange:-- To the jaded globe-trotter, weary of hackneyed routes, no more ideal holiday can be conceived than to cruise along the coast of Northern Queensland, landing now and again, if sport be desired, to indulge in a file fishing or shooting, in these lonely parts kangaroos are still to be met with, while emus, cassowary, and a variety of gorgeously-hued parrots abound. Does turtle soup possess charms? The reptile is here for the catching, while oysters literally grow on trees, clinging to the half-submerged branches of the mangroves.
For nine months in the year the weather is perfect. The force of the mis-named Pacific Ocean is checked by the Great Barrier Reef, and the passage between this natural break water and the mainland is as calm as on an inland lake. Add exquisite colouring of sea and sky, an atmosphere so pure and clear that "objects can be seen for miles away; a coast- line ever varying in beauty of form, and clothed with rich tropical foliage of palm and wild banana, interspersed with the 'Australianeucaly ptus and pine; and what more can the heart of man desire?
A ihousand islets are dotted about the straits, each forming a miniature paradise as yet un spoilt by the civilising influences of the white mao and white man's whisky,

ST. FRANCIS CHURCH.
WANCHAL
St. Francis Church, on the street of the same name in Wanchal, was erected very many years ago by the Roman Catholic clergy of Hong- kong for the benefit of the poorer inhabitants of that very populous district. Although it has been kept in as good a state of repair as the uned funds of this little parish church peunited of it, it has been found that of late, the building, interiorly and exter. iorly, needed repairs, painting and colour wash. ing very badly. The district inhabitants are of too poor a clase to be able to raise the funds wherewith to restore the little church to an appearance befitting a place of public worship. Relying upon the liberality of the public in the Colony the parish priest, the Rev. Father P. de Maria, appealed to them by a subscrip tion for funds. This appeal was generously responded to and we are requested to state that the following donations are gratefully acknow- ledged:---

Sir H. S.

(Lectures on lot, Law, V) Vattel observes that a neutral ship refusing to be searched would from that proceeding alone be condemned as lawful prize. (Droits dos Gens, Bk. III., c. 7.) The hardship that has arsen in this present war is that Rus- sia has declared nearly every conceivable $1,250,000.00 article contraband that can possibly be included 524,035.78 in that category, and that, unlike Japan, she 3,929.40 has not divided her contraband articles into 85.362.83 two classes, and therefore always confiscates everything, instead of exercising the milder $1,863,318.01 belligerent right of pre-emption.

Sir W. Harcourt, when discussing, as "His toricus," the case of the Trent, 1861, observed: "in order to constitute contraband of war, it is absolutely essential that two elements should concur namely, a hostile quality and a hostile destination." If either of these elements is wanting, that great authority observes, there can be no such thing as contraband. But on the express statement of the owner of the Allanton in the "Times" (July 8), the Russian Prize Court of Vladivostok condemned a vessel proceeding to Singapore---that is, to a neutral destination. Another ground of the decision in the ca e of the Allanton was that the vessel had a Japanese cabinhoy on board, the best comment on which circumstance is 250.00 the result of the Trent affair. In that case the 1,858.25 English Government demanded and obtained be immediate release of two important persons, the Diplomatic Agents of the Con- $97,221.38 federate States, who had been taken out of an English mail steamer by the captain of Mr. W.

The classing of a cabin-boy as a contraband article justifying the condemnation of a ship is a theme worthy of the epigrammatic style in which "Historicus" denounced the views of the speculative school of writers on international law.

SOLDIERS AND THRIFT.
It has been very recently stated that the P. and O. steamer Malacca, which has been seized by the Russian Volunteer Fleet steamer St. Petersburg in the Red Sea, is being conveyed back to Suez. It may be noticed that it is in- cumbent on the caplain to bring his prize as speedily as may be within the jurisdiction of the court which has the power of adjudicating upon . The inconvenience arising in the particular case of the Malacca is that she will have to be convoyed to St. Petersburg in order to be adjudicated upon. There can hardly be a war of modern times in which a neutral vessel has had to undergo such loss cí time after capture before being even adjudicated upon. Again, Suez is a neutral port under the International Conven tion, and no act of hostility (article 4)'shall be committed within three miles of Suez or Port

There is no corps in the kingdom in which there is not a percentage of men who do no! add to its efficiency, but this is the fault of the system of payment per capita, and, as Mr. Arnold-Forster cant deny, he does not pro- pose to allot the 'money the 40,000 men al present earn their corps to the remainder, and by this means he hopes to gain credit as an economist, but he cannot be at all sne, and those who had long experience of the Volunteer system will agree that animi gst the 40,002 men dismissed there will be a proportion, and prob- ably a high one, of good, eainet workers, in telligent, useful men, who cannot afford more time than they now give, or d yet, when trouble arises, would prove far the most useful soldiers of them all. Moreover, the preposterous idea of raising a class of elite amongst Volunteers of itself will have the immediate effect of caus- ing resignations to become the rule rather than the exception, as busy young men, married, and holding responsible pusitions in business, will be unable to join the higher class, yet will not consent to remain in any inferior position. Consequently, Mr. Arnold Forster may, and probably will, find that in a year or two his Volunteer Army will be in a state of internal disorganisation, rapidly disappearing; and his dreaded conscription will again rear its head. This is poor economy, says a home journal; but there is more in this part of his plan than he told the House, and in it we think we detect the hand of Mr. Balfour, our "War Lord." This elite will be a body relied on, in the case of another South African or other war, to feed the Regular Army-in short the cheap. est possible kind of Reserve, but a Reserve which is not aware of its truo functions, and which is to be stimulated into activity at the beat of the patriotic drum. The importance, therefore, of full and free discussion in Parlia ment, in the Press, and in the country of this fresh development in Army reform becomes imperative if the public and the taxpayer are to be guarded against diplomatic failures anding. in wars for which Governments make no pro per preparation in time of peace.
Great Britain will pay freely for an Army, as she has never failed to do in the past; but she demands now that her advisers prepare a scheme in which the actual necessities for un Army and its size are set in plain language, She cannot any longer consent to be blindfold and agree to experiments and changes merely to allow one Secretary for War to say that he has overturned the scheme of his predecessor, without showing clearly that the change will give the country the son of Army the country. needs: an Army organised for war; one in which each branch is not hurtfully competing with all the other branches for recruits; and, finally, that it is the cheapest Army, that can be devised for the work it has to do.
