Hongkong and Straits Settle-
ments Compared,
The Hongkong P.W.D. seems also to' have more work set it than can be done,.. says the Singapore Free Press. In 1903 the total estimates were 81,899,000, the actual expendituro was 81,349,632. The same difficulty in getting reliable supervision. seems to exist; a clerk of works obtained apecially from England had to be dismissed and no successor was obtained, The executive staff now consists of B oxecutive engineers, 8 assistant engineers, 2 clerks of works, 12 first-class oversects, 12 second--- class overseers, and fifteen foremen--total 57. The personal charges amounted to 8190,121-15 per cent, on the cost of works. executed. It will be remembered that Mr Stringer asked the Government to obtain from Hongkong certain particulars of the 789 cost of supervision of public works in that Colony. The Government declined to do so. Perhaps they will now set a clerk to go through the annual report of the Director of Public Works, Hongkong, and extract such particulars, as will enable them to com- pare the staff and cost of supervision of the departiments in the two Colonies. We have indicated one or two points above, and add, for the purpose of comparison, that from the Straits Estimates the following is the paper staff of the P.W.D. for the settle ment of Singapore.-1 Colonial Engineer, 1 Supt. of Works and Surveys, 4 Aest. S.W.S., 1 Architectural Assistant, 2 Clerks- of works, & Overseers-total 15. These. figures give only a rough comparison and 815 ay perhaps need modification, but the great discrepancy between the two staffs is clear. It is to be remembered the Hong- kong Dapartment has to look after water worke, &c., but the total expenditure is only about half ours.

THEIR ONLY HOPE..

FROM ADMIBAL ALEXEIETY, VICEROY OF THE EAST, TO H. 1, M. THE THAL.
Now, may it please Your Majesty, Great Peace-convention Taar
To read these few romarks upon
This most unholy war,
Thoso horrid little Japanese
Have hit us unaware,
In ways not reprehensible,
In manner most unfair.
M
They've banged about Port Arthur's Doek,
And landed in Korea,
And sunk a lovely cruiser which
We call a Volunteer.'
A very nasty trick they have
(I'm sure it can't be right), They bl zo away the live oug day
And likewise half the night.
Wo had a Fleet-in-being' once
But now its mostly súnk,
And just about as useful
As a third-rate China junk.
So if you haven ship or two
Whose boilers won't go wrong,
Just see that they're in good repair,
And send the lot along.
And if it please Your Majesty
Sond Kuropatkin, too,
With an Army Corps and any more
That seemeth good to you.
Of course, we've had some slight success
Against our enemies,
For somewhere in Manchuria
We hanged somo Japanese.
The Vladiv stock cruisers, too, And a battleship (first rate) Have chased a little in rchantman
And hurt it bosun's mate.
But in revenge those horrid Japs
Have blocked up
all our ports,
And henco, your Gracious Majesty,
I'm slightly out of norte.
And so, my most boloved THAY
Don't mind me in the least
If
you desire, Ihould retire
Au Vinerny from the East.

We have some Army Corps, of course,
But useless they will be, Unless you find them transport aut

For I'm afraid my soldiers brave
Won't find it very nice,
To go out East to fight the beast
Across Lake Baikal's ice.
You say those harid little Japs
Have landed in Korea;
That means, of course, they'll travel North
And take us in the rear.
