of action, is certainly of equal importance. It has been customary to give the radius of vessels of our Navy at a very low apood, usually 10 knots. This may be very well- on paper, and is no doubt good enough in times of peace, when such a slow speed has the great merit of economy; but it would never do in war time to crawl about at 10 knots, if a higher rate can possibly be at- tained and maintained with safety, and without too great a risk of being left with- out coal at a distance from the nearest coal- ing station. Without coaling ships in st. tendance, when the coal is nearly used, or perhaps only half-used in the case of the base being distant, the fleet must return to its base for coaling; and without fast colliers, such as are proposed, how often would the coaling ship be close at hand? We therefore may find our fleet in the condition of the inefficient army which has to return to its base for supplies every few days. The fleet which can keep at sea for a long period will have an incalculable advantage over

the one which cannot do so, and has to re- turn frequently to coal. Granted the ne. cessity for fast coaling vessels, it may be argued that many of our faster liners would do for the purpose; but this, I think, in not the case. They could not carry the maximum amount of coal possible, nor have they the appliances for dealing with coal in the most expeditious manner.

STERLING SALARIES SCHEME.

The following correspondence was con- tained in a paper which was laid on the table of the Legislative Council this afternoon :-Extract from the despatch of His Excellency, Sir H. A. Blake, to the Secretary of State for the Colonics, No. 512, of the 16th November, 1902:

I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch No. 318 of the 30th of last September and to refor my despatch you in reply to paragraph 6 of of the 11th December, 1901, in which I stated that the Sterling Salaries Scheme, forwarded under cover of that despatch, was designed to include all offices which would in the ordinary course be held by Europeans appointed from home. In other words all officers entitled to draw exchange compensation.

Extract from the Secretary of State's de- upatch No. 18 of 16th January, 1903, to His Excellency Sir H. A. Blake :-* It was not intended to make any such distinction in regard to the grant of Sterling Salarios, as is contemplated in your despatch No. 512, between officers of the Hongkong Ser- vice who see and those who are not entitled to exchange compensation. According to the principle. laid down in the case of

Straits Settlements

tho the

and Federated Malay States, the salaries of all non-clerical posts which exceed. ed $1,200 a year were to be included in the Sterling Schisme; and officers ap pointed after the beginning of August, 1901, to any such posts came under the Sterling Scheme, regardless of the question whether or not they would have been entitled, under the existing rule in virtue of domicile or in other respects, to exchange compensation." In laying the paper upon the table the Colonial Secretary aid that he would like to explain that whereas it was originally understood in this Colony that the sterling salary scheme included czly those officers in receipt of exchange compensation, it had been settled that it also included long clerical appointments cae salaries of which exceeded $1200 per month, and therefore they appeared in the estimates which were about to come unde» she consideration of the Council.

SAVING A CHILD.

A LITTLE ENolien HeroinK.

ILY PEARSON, the pretty eight-year-old child of a loving mother, is, saya a Manchester paper the heroine of an incid- ent that has aroused interest.

"From a baby,' said her mother, who lives at 37.Park-street, Greenbeys, Man- chester, Lly was pale and thin- Dr Will ams' pink pills for pale peuple gave her the rosy health she now bus. Two years osh had scarlet fever. She didn't eem to pick up after it, Buttle after bottlo of medicine had been given her. Then I tried Dr Williams' pink pill, and I am glad that I did so. I soon noticed a difference in her health. She surprised ezeryone. She had more colour, and was beginning to eat as a healthy, growing child should. She con- tinued to take the pills with the result that it would be hard to find a stronger girl than ohe in all Manchester at the present time."
