Mr. MacDonald, it is stated, will retain his seat in the House of Commons, but it is anticipated that he will devote his time mostly to educational matters.

COMES TO PORT
EMPRESS OF BRITAIN CARRYING. 400 ON
5-MONTH TRIP
The four hundred round-the-world tourists who arrived in port aboard the Canadian Pacific luxury liner Empress of Britain this morning got a somewhat hazy impression of Hongkong, due to the prevalence of a heavy fog, which blotted out the Peak, but they are appreciating the cool weather after many weeks of heat and humidity at other ports.
The big liner, which is berthed at Kowloon wharves, will stay in port until Thursday, and it is to be hoped that weather conditions will improve for the local sight-seeing tours. This is the sixth successive world tour under- taken by the Empress of Britain, which set out from New York on January 9. The tour will end at that port on May 14th and on May 22 at Cherbourg and Southamp- ton for the British and Continental passengers.
