LONDON, Dec. 18. The two bye-elections haye beon distinct Chamberlain victories, a Liberal Education in fact, for the observer. It is impossible to imagine that the majorities for Mr. Coates and Dr Itough-on-food Harris, have thought out the economic and financial questions involved in the Fiscal con- troversy, Majɔrities do not do that sort

ARMY REFORM.

Volunteers for Ireland. (From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, Dec. 18. Some of the papers this morning.an- nounce that Mr Arnold Forster's scheme of Army Reform will provide for the re- establishment of the volunteer movement in Ireland where it was crushed out of ex-. istence more than a century ago. It seems strange that Ireland should have at present Militia but no Volunteers. Still, a man need not he old to remember the middle eighties and to speculate what might have. happened in those dark days if a large popular force Lad then existed in Ireland. It would have been overwhelmingly Nationalist, every man in Ireland (except in Orangeland) is intensely loyal to his

nation, and mistaken agitators would have found a very sharp-edge tool to their 192 hands. Even now some grandmotherly

journals shake their wise heads, as if they dreaded the recrudescence of Ribbonism or armed rebellion. But this is the twentieth century, not the early

THE ENGLISH EDUCATION

ACT.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, Dec. 18.

In a fortnight the Education Act will conie into force, and County Councils, through their committees, will be respon sible for the carrying on of all the element- ary schools. The Church of England is of course the largest owner of non-provided schools and will retain a preponderating majority on the committees of managers for schools that have been its own. This naturally leads to the proviso that the head teacher of every such school will still have to be a churchman. Among dissen- ters there is a strong militant majority, most active in what they call humorously aim at the de- passive resistance, who mocratising of education, and the aboli of instruction in dogma. The Archbishop of Canterbury tried vainly to call a con- ference between friends and opponents of church teaching, but abandoned the iden when he found the parties were determined. to argue from different premises. This week he has written another letter no longer an irenicon, but rather a call to arms, and Dr. Clifford has published a spirited rejoinder. While the heated controversy rages as to whether teachers may be of any faith or ne faith, whether the church has picked the pocket of, the state, and whether the church clergy are a pack of Romanisers, (for of course the No Popery cry has been raised also), the one question really importance, how we are to turn the obildren into good men and good citizens, is the only question that the Reverend and Right Reverend, the Honourable and Right

LONDON LETTER.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, Deo. 18.

C. WESTERMANN,

Sir Harry Johnston, the defeated of PIANO AND ORGAN BUILDER.

Rochester, comes to the front with a schenie for the purchase of Achill Island and its conversion into a National Park for the preservation of wild animals threa tened now with extinction, nay, even of such brutes as bears and wolves that long have been extinct in these islands. It is, I think, only during the present year that a Causeway has been constructed from the mainland to Achill, with the unexpected result that foxes have crossed and If any decimated the Achill chickens. Society or individual be able and willing to meet the expense, the project of such a park seems inviting; but it must not be a Zoo. Zoos are both vulgar and cruel. We do not want cheap trippers visiting Achill for the half-day to inspect woe-begone brutes pacing their pens, but wanderers among the wild scenery of the island would find a new charm if the otter could be seen in the streams or a wolf slinking through the bushes. Some such park on a grand cale may be accessible next year in the heart of Africa, when the advance of the railway makes the Victoria Falls acces sible We have been promised that the African fauna shall be preserved over a wide area. Here, though Sir H. Johnston, though as fervent a lover of wild animal, n the French savant who did love ze cata and ze dogs and everysing zat was beastly,' would make one important exception. The hippopotamus must be exterminated. Lions even make no unprovoked attacks, but the hippo from very wantonness will destroy a boat and maul the rowers. He eats all the crops, and what he does not eat, he site on So now he is to be sat on himself.

An interesting centenary this year is that

of the use of cotton thread, which was in- troduced in Paisley (Auld Secstu) in 1803, Napoleon had seized Hamburg and stoppod the export of silk. A young man named Clark taught the ladies to use smooth run- ning cotton, and to convenience his cus. tomers, would wind off a skein of it on a pirn for a fee of a halfpenny, returnable when the bobbin was returned. Hence the cotton reel, which has made the name of Clark a worldwide household word.

There once lived at Stratford-on-Avon £ not insignificant author of the name of Shakespeare, and there now lives there an eminent authoress named Corelli. Miss Marie not Little Mary) wished to do good to the Technical School, but could not be- cause grasping proprietors asked too much for the land. The Mr Carnegie cine along and would have desecrated' the place with a Free Library if Miss Corelli had not prevented him. Two naughty mon, a Town Councillor, and, I grieve to Bay, a jounalist, had the audacity to say that she was inspired in hoth efforts, the School which didn't come off, and the Free Library which she took care shouldn't come off either, by vanity. A chivalrous jury has given her a verdict for libel and awarded her a farthing damages. Fut she gets another advertisement anyhow, just when we were beginning to congratulate ourselves that we had forgotten her.

Serious Affair in Mandalay Gaol.

About 8 a.m. on the morning of the 8th instant a riot took place in the Man dalay jail in one of the work-yards, when Mr Thorpe, the Deputy Jailor, was badly assaulted. It appears that Mr Thorpe, while on his rounds that morning, was struck from behind by a gang of convicts and received a nasty wound on the head. The maistric of the work-yard went at once to his nasistance but was also assaulted and

By severely beaten and foll unconscious.

this time the Superintendent of the Jail and Mr Owen, the Jailor, turned up and sounded the alarm. A number of prisoners were seen armed with sticks, and one of The them had his foot against the door. Jailor tried to force open this door while Captain Deo managed to open another door and entered the work-yard. The man who was standing near the first door came to the Superintendent, threatening him with a piece of wood in his hand, when Captain Dee promptly knocked him down. In the meantime another prisoner aimed a blow at the head of the Superintendent, which for- This tunately only just touched his hat. man the Jailor knocked down. Had it not been for the timely assistance of Captain Deo and Mr Owen, Mr Thorpe would prob. ably have been murdered by his assailants. The convict warders, who were observed giving no assistance during the riot, were punished with thirty lashes cach in the presence of the prisonere.

FREEAR AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.

Freear's reputation suffered nothing from his exhibition on Saturday night at the Theatre Royal. The theatre was full, both top and bottom, and the roars of laughter and Applause, that broke out during the evening showed that Freear was adding another successful tour to his long list.

Irving said that he had been requested by the head masters of the three district schools, which were represented at the prize dis ribution, to read the annual re- port upon the progress of the schools dur ing the past year. He was conscious of the ompliment paid him and proceeded to read the report, which stated that the three schools were in existence in 1901 as free kenools, aud gave elementary instruction in English and Chinese to the children in the neighbourhood.

As a lady Freear was equally good, the make up in Miss Minnie Palmer, and later o in Miss Oyster Patti, being realistic. In the rendition of the elocution com- potition, in which the piece chosen was The Charge of the Light Brigade,' Freear had the house shaking with laughter, and his description of a Temperance Lecture was responsible for loud applause. In the impersonation of a candidate in his address to his constituents, Freear rattled off a

series of reform ideas, which were very well received by the audience. Freear's appearance as Madame Oyster Patti' was

demonstrated that as a monologue enter tainer he is versatile and amusing. An exhibition of Mr Behetanjee's bioscope concluded the evening's entertainment. To-night Mr Freear will again appear; his entertainment is worthy of patronage.

Mr H. W. Looker (of Messrs Deacon, Looker and Doncon) appeared for the plaintiff, while Mr E. J. Grist (of Messrs Wilkinson and Grist) appeared for the

defendant.

Mr Looker said that the plaintiff was the owner or charterer of steamers, which he sub-chartered to various persons for various

purposes.

Ho sub-chartered the Emma Layken to the defendant to carry passengers into a charter-party under which the steaner was hired by the defendunt from the plaintiff. The agreement provided

Only 505 passengers were carried, and there was no doubt that the steamer could carry the 650. Mr Gris said that he did not regard the document as a charter-party. The vessel was not chartered by defendants; an agree ment was entered into that if the plaintiff sent the ship down the defendant would guarantee 650 passengers. They could have carried 560 passengers, but on account of the action of the plaintiff, they could not de
