attention of late, owing to the condemnu- tion of its management which the Prime Minister recently gave voice, to in the House of Commons. When the Govern- ment declined to be responsible for such an expedition, the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society, with sub- stantial monetary aid from the Govern- ment and also from the public, took over the organisation, and although there is evident cause for complaint, both as re- gards somewlint reckless expendituro and the faulty food provision, Mr Balfour's. action appears somewhat sweeping in view of the fact that no official enquiry bas as yet been made. It was thought] that in his address on the subject at the Royal Geographical Society, Sir Clements Markham would have read out Captain Scott's report, which is known to be in England, and much disappointment has been occasioned by his determination to reserve this till the return of Captain

Scott. Incidentally, he defended the action of the authorities in building at an normous cost the Discovery,' instead of, as scened possible ut the time, con- verting a whialer into a suitable vessel. He said that only by building a special ship was it possible to carry out the magnetic observations to which so much importance is attached by scientific men. However, the Government must face the fact that after the Prime Minister's consorious remarks, people will not be eager to subscribe the twelve thousand pounds required to send out the⚫ Morn- ing' to the relief of the 'Discovery,' and, therefore, they will have to provide the themselves, because, of course, there is no possibility of a British crew being left to starve, as, without assis tance, they undoubtedly would do

Communication from Singapore

Chamber of Commerce.

At a meeting of the Committee of the Singapore Chamber of Commerce on the 7th inst., the following letter was read :-

Chamber of Commerce. Singapore, 12th June, 1903.

The other loafers concerned were tried before the Mixed Court on the 5th June and convicted and sentenced on the 8th idem. The history of the crime appeared News of the 5th and 8th June.

Inspector Bourke briefly recited the facts of the ease. He said the present prisoner was a notorious and well-known character, and had a record of three previous convic- tions. He was also wanted by the native city authorities in connection with a case of highway robbery committed at Yangtsepoo. he being the leader of the gang concerned. One of the loafers already convicted had gouged out one of the eyes of the com- plainant. The present prisoner was not satisfied with that, as he said the con- plainant would be able to find his way to the police. Ho suggested gauging out the other eye, and did so himself.

In supportig the adoption of a symbol code it may be mentioned that great weight was given to the argument brought forth. in your letter of 31st July last, and also adhered to in your further latter of 10th September 1902, that a flag system is not suited to local conditions on the ground that, in the calm weather, usually preced. ing typhoons, such signals would often not be readily distinguishable, my Committee therefore respectfully suggest that the de- cision of His Excellency to adopt a flag sys- tem in preference to one of symbols may be reconsidered.
