Last night (Thursday) the Govern ment majority fell as low as 24. The ostensible subject of debate was the re- duction of an Army vote, but the resolution to report progress was merely one of three attempts to discredit the Government on a snap division. In fact there is no real work doing or likely to be doing in the present session, The honourable members are simply playing
a game, the Ins to hold office and the Outs to eject them, and excitement of parly manœuvres has superseded the enthusiasm. For instance in the Sir. Antony Macdonnell motion, four Natio nalists actually voted with the Govern- ment, out of mere malice against the four Ulster unionists who opposed it. Now the Ulster men have notified the whip that ther have induced four Uni-- onists to abstain from divisions on Irish questions. So also Lord Stanley had promised to speak at one of Mr Gibson Bowles meeting but has had to with draw at the bidding of the Chamberlain faction, but happily the game cannot last much longer.

His tardiness in appearing is greatly con- cerning the mandarins of Canton, at all events, for they have conspired to bring him out by shooting and by prayers, but neither proved very ef ficacious. And why should they? It has generally been accepted that prayers and shooting are the stage properties of the producers of rain, but now tivals have come into the field and stolen the thunder it is questionable what the results will be in the future. If rain is wanted will the shooting not conduce to a continuance of sunshine, or vice versa The question opens up-Good old lard ? argument, too, as to whether after all our rain producers, have not been was-

The Old Resident was recounting an adventure he had many years ago in onder- vouring to circumnavigate the island: doing round Cape D' Aguilar everyone was sick and I had to take the wheel my self. The waves came over the Iuuch and the only dry spots on deck were where my feet had been.
The Other Old Resident: Well, I guess they would be pretty extensive dry spots.

GERMANY, FRANCE AND MOROCCO,
Reforms Inopportune,
Full or simple faith in you as the father. of your people, I was pacifically marching towards you, accompanied by the children of your people, as you must know, as you do know. The innocent blood of working men, of their wives, and their children of tendur age, will henceforth and for ever so- parate you, their assassin, and the Russian people. Never will the moral tie between the people and you be renewed. You will no longer be able to curb by any half- measure, or even by the promise of forming the States General, the food of popular feeling, now furiously swollen. Bombs, dynamite, collective and individual terro riem, and popular insurrection await your race and all the assassins of the people ich has been despoiled of its rights.

was started under the name of Schwer partners being in Europe and one, the de- fendant, being in Hongkong. The firm was an ordinary mercantile one, and possessed a private codo facilitating telegraphic business. At the end of the first year the balance sheet showed a loss, and the business was not being conducted to the satisfaction of the partners in Europe, They wrote to the defendant complaining of it and finally a writ way issued asking for the dissolution of the partnership. The plaintiff was employed by the firm as bookkeeper, and from September 1904 to January 10 he was employed by defendant to do extra work in connection with partners. This work kept plaintiff in the office until late at night, and entailed a considerable amount of labour. On several mocasions defendant told the plaintiff that he would be amly compensated for his trouble but that compesation had not been received. After the issue of the writ defendant set about the preparation of a new private code, so that in caso the firm was dissolved, he would be ready to recom- monce business with other partners. Un this work plaintiff and another man was employed, and all that plaintiff had receiv ad was about $100.
