The Queen went to the counter and asked for tickets for eight dinners at 4d., and tondered half-a-crown in payment; but the young lady clerk, unaware of her iden- 719 tity, pointed out that the money was 6d, short, and, as the Trust holds firmly to the no trust' rule, she declined to issue the full number of passes while the money tendered was insufficient. Sir Thomas Lipton asked her to give over the oight tickets,' but, to the Queen's intenso amuse-, ment, the girl was only partially reassured, and did not execute the order until Lord de Grey came forward and gravely handed over the balance. Of course, the identity of the Royal visitors quickly became known, and they were cheered with true East-end heartiness wherever they appeared. Tho Queen first made a thorough inspection of the ground-floor, which is reserved for men, and where hundreds were having an d la carte dinner from 34d. per head. All the members of the Royal party were impressed by the plentiful quantity and apparently excellent quality of the fare. They passed

The Queen saw two little girls crying because they had lost their tickets, and promptly supplied them with the necessary cash to make good the loss. Both the Queen and the Princess spoke kindly to many of the children and girls. They asked the latter if they were well provided for at the Trust dining room, and were assured that they were.

The visitors spoke in the highest terms of the excellence of the food, of the cook- ing, and of the general arrangements.
The Queen expressed delight at seeing so many poor working persons (including. the factory girls) and young children being provided at so low a rate with a substantial meal, and desired to have one more look. at the humblo diners. The visitors were cheered with great enthusiasm on reappear- ing in the public dining-rooms, and some of the children in their excitement, mount. ed the seats and tables. The Queen was specially amused at one little fellow who, in his exuberance of spirit, upset his "ha'p'orth of soup and stood in the liquid as it ran across the table. Great attention was again paid to the kitchen and washing- up room. Her Majesty had inquired of one of the girls if there was not an enormous amount of washing with 4,000 diners ch day, and at her second visit smilingly ob served, What, still washing?'.

And will they guarantee that there will be added sufficient efficiency to make up for the additional expenditure? We must confess to reepticism on these points. It would have to be a very good professional brigade which would far outdo the Amateurs of whom we have hitherto been so proud. Are these professionals to be imported! If so, where from? And who will look after them? With nothing to do nine-tenths of their time, at least nine-tenths of them may confidently be expected to hurry off down that easy descent to the undesirable which is so very open to the idle hand in Shanghai. Then would not the last state of our Brigade be worse than the first?
But it will perhaps be answered that, as yet, it is but a paid Chief that is wanted. And to judge from the arguments of our contemporaries this salaried gontleman is to able at one and the same time to be an expert. ink-slinger and accountant, and to throw streams over the top of the illfated Fuh-lee building. We are to have a paid Chief because our pumping gear is weak. That strikes us as something of a sequitur. If the gear is faulty that may be an argument for the importation of some- thing better, but the recently resigned Chief could have had no responsibility on that score.

It has, before now, been, suggested in these columns that the office of Ohicf Engineer should be abolished, and that District Engineers should be appointed and that each should be Chief in his own dis- trict, the others serving under him. There is much to be said in favour of this recom- mendation, and we make it once more in the belief that as yet there is no need for the proposed new departure. That it may be so in years to come we can quite be- lieve. That it is so now we dony, Thero is no need to impose unnecessary burdens on the Ratepayers. So long as well is well, let it alone.

According to this two Japanese partion of cavalry each about ten strong were sent forward towards Chong-ju and were there surprised and attacked by n much larger force of Russians, who were further reinforced by Cossacks coming from Kwak-un. An orderly dispatched for help brought the main body of Japanese cavalry galloping up as quickly as they could come, The and the scouts fell back on them. Russiaus were still in much superior force and sent a detachment to cut off their enemy's retreat. Had they succeeded in so doing the Japanese cavalry would have been in a helpless condition. But the firing had already been heard by their infantry three miles away, and throwing off their knapsacks the foot-soldiers run some three miles and occupied the high ground to the east and south-east of Chong-ju.

agreement between the silver-using countries to buy in fairly regular quantities the bullion they need instead of continuing the irregular and spasmodic purchase of the past would help to keep the price fairly | constant, especially if a certain quaximum, |say twenty-eight pence, were fixed beyond which governmental purchases would close. The matter is very complicated when looked at from all points of viow, but since there are but three great silver markets, those of London, the United States, and Mexico, the difficulties should not be insurmount able. It is the London market which at present is the arbiter of the silver word. Of the 200 millions of ounces which roti y represent the world's annual outpat about one-half is sold on the London market, the remaining half being divided between the the United States and Mexico in the ratio of about 7 to 3. One advantage ih fixing the 1 to 32 ratio is that the danger from counterfeiting would. be reduced to a minimum.
Politically, the change will be one of fur- reaching effect. A great step will have boen taken towards the anification of this great land, and with its unity must follow that increase of strength which division Chins will stand before ever sacrifices.
