In the debate on the Army Estimates, Mr. Forster, referring to Lord Roberts' remarks of the 11th instant, said that Lord Roberts strong dictush required some modification, his examination of the subject had been rapid; a great improvement in the personnel and organisation of every branch of the army had taken place since 1903, and though there would be a great difficulty in finding' ́drafts for India during the next two years, he was confident that we were on the road to wards a satisfactory solution of Indian draft ing which was the great and unique problem

COLLISION IN HARBOUR.
ANOTHER CERTIFICATE SUSPENDED.
At the Harbour Master's Office this afternoon Mr. Basil Taylor, Assistant Harbour Master, held an inquiry into the circumstances connect ed with the charge of negligent navigation pre. fered by Captain P. M. B. Lake of the British 5,9. Zafrawg against the master of the steam.. launch Nancy, To Kam Wing, certificate No. 1356. Captain Lake, of the Latsang, said that' on Friday, the 14th inst, at 11.15 am, he was coming ashore in a sampan to Blake lier, and after passing the end of Douglas' Wharf a launch came out full speed, stern first., She had been lying to the eastward ol. Douglas Pier, and came out so fast that she could not have brought up within two or three lengths, and the did not make any signal. She passed just across the bows of the sampan, so close that the bows of both craft touched as they passed. The coxswain trok no step to avoid A collision, and did not stop, or go ahead." Witness took no notice of this and would not have complained if the subsequent action of the coxswain had not been what it was. After witness lat:led at Blacke Pier the same launch came up full speed, crushing in between the pier and the sampan, again col liding with the latter and nearly breaking one of her oats. Witness called the constable who, was on duty on the pier, and went with him on board the launch, when he found the man in charge had no certificate; the master was not. on board.
P.C. Jones said, while he was on duty on Blake Fier on Friday, Captain Take made a complaint to him that the launch Nancy had collided with bis sampan twice. He went on board, and found the master was not there and an uncertificated man was at the helm.
To Kam Wiog, master of the Nancy, said he was not on board; he went to his master's
office. One of the crew, Wong Cheung, took charge of the launch in his absence, at the request of a German named Olsson. The owner of the launch is Mr. W. S. Bailey,

One feature of the dock, and one which has never before been employed, is that it is built in three divisions. The utility of this is that it is able to dock itself, for, like all Boating bodies, the bottoms become foul with sea growth and barnacles, and it is necessary for them to be kept clean.
