It is interesting to re-call at passing that when the list robol- fion broke out at Kwoi-lin it took the native troops some three wooks to arrive at the scens of the dis- turbance, wherons had the river bcon ue.unvigablo as it might well bo they could have boon there within a couple of days or so, Thion, again, the facilition which could be secured for the trans port of minerals and the encour #gement-to-mining ontorprizo generally would justify this ques- on being thoroughly gone into, unro especially as railways are quite out of the question in many places. A uniform depth
of

Wo are sorry not to find in the telographic summary of the speeches made in Parliament on Monday any reference to an im-
of this lovy, but rather a very pointed intimation that the Im- porial Government is receiving from the Colonies of Hongkong and the Straits Settlements sums which fall vory for short of the expenditure on the Garrisong maintained at those stations. On the other hand it must not be forgotten that the taxpayers who are expectail to defray this ex- pondituro luve not the loust power of control over the size of the garrison or the money spent upon it. Colonel Yato, who questioned the Secretary of State for the Colonies, as well as the Prime Minister on the subject of the military defence of the Crown Colonies, seems to bo under the impression, that the garrison at Hongkong is hore purely for the defence of the Colony, but it is Hanecessary for us to point out. that the troops stationed here are available for the protection of
