INFANTRY DIPOTS.

The system of brigading the deprta of infantry regiments into groups is not prov ing a Fuccess, saya the Standard.

By the Army Order of January 6, all the infantry depots were reorganised into four- teen commands from the great number then existing, and it was thought that by this system of grouping batches of depots together great economies would be made.

A test carried out in the North Midland rogimental district in not as satisfactory no the authorities could with. This district comprises the depots of the Lincolnshire, South Staffordshire, North Staffordshire, and the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiments: It has been found that the Saff allowed is insufficient for the administ- ration of the group of depots, and that un less the expense of additional staff is sanctioned the work cannot be carried out.

The officer commanding, being in corres- pondence with five depote, has all his time taken up with clerical work and correspon dence, and has no time for the outside overlook of his command. It has also been pointed out that the now system, to work properly, would require new birracks. to accommodate the recruits adequately.

THE LATE LHASSA RESIDENT.

How He Was Murdered.

A Peking dispatch states that the late Féng Chuan, Imperial Resident to Lhassa, met his death on April 5, at a plate called Hungtingte (Red Pavilion) in Pat- district which is about 450 miles north- ang west of Tachionlu, So, as the crow Bies. Owing to the distance and the bad hill roads, the news did not get to the Szechuan

Viceroy at Chengtu until a fortnight after wards, and was not reported to the Throne by the latter until April 21.

It appears that the late Imperial Resi- dent, who had been ordered by special decrce from Peking to make a détour from his journey to Lhassa and proceed to Pat ang to investigate a recent murder of a Chinese military

soldiera by Lacer and five or si

AUSTRALIA'S NORTHERN

TERRITORY.

The South Australian Government are opening up the Northern Territory, and with a view to attracting soitlers send out a large parcel of literature, profusely illustrat- ed, showing the points of interest in the physical features of the country. Northern Territory had long been a white elephant. Now the great transcontinental railway is mooted, and the government hope to develope the vast recourses of that large tract in the way of tropical agriculture, pas- torland mineral industries, as to turn this

huge dependency into one of the gardens of

the world. Asvall exhibition is also being held just now of the economic producta of the north. Mr Alfred Searcy, the subcol- lector of the Northern Territory for 14 years, has made a book of his experiences and this book is among the literature sent broadcast into the world. The budget to us is recommended by the following Zetter

Sir, Fam desired by the Honorable the Minister controlling the Northern forward, under separate Territory to cover, an illustrated publication entitled "In Northern Seas, being Mr Alfred Searcy's. experiences in the Northern Territory of South Australia. The articles are reproduc- ed from the South Australian Register, and zhe look is published by authority of the Government.

A copy of the speech ride before Parliament in 1904, by the ex-Pretnier and -Minister Controlling the Northern Territory (Honorable J. G. Jenkins), relative to the proposals of the Government with regard to the development of the Northern Territory; also reports by Mr John Bottomley on Cotton Growing in the Northern Territory, and Dr Maurice Holtze, lato Curator, and Mr Nicholas Holtz, Curator of the Botanic Garden at Palmerston, Northern Territory, from part of the same package.

Hoping these publications will interest you, and be duly noticed in your columns.”

DEAD SHIPS.

Sale of Rejected War Vessels.

At Chatham Dockyard on April 3, in the. little school-room which is part of the naval establishment, dead ships of the Navy were sold at auction by Moss:s Fuller,

Horsay,ons, and Cassell, on behalf of the

Admiralty.

For a month past the ships have been lying at their moorings at Portsmouth, at Devonport, and in the Medway, open to inspection by intending purchasers They range from a third-class armoured battle ship to mosquito craft of the Coastguard -service, and all aro cut out of the Navy List in accordance with the policy of effi- ciency afloat which is now go rigorously prosecuted. It was intended that the, sale -Ahould be open only to British subjects, and the policeman who regulated admission to the Dockyard inquired of each arrival if he were British before passing him in. sufficient number qualified to crowd the little school-room to suffocation; but none the less there were swarthy skins and- exotic features noticeable among the most.

otive of the bidders.

The sale was conducted by Mr Terry lorsoy, who cominenced by emphasising e conditions of sale in an unmistakable anner. For reasons that are obrious ough, those ships which have yet soine vrk left in them were sold subject to the prchaser undertaking to break them up Whin a specified time; and the catalogues Icher made clear that before handing thm over the Admiralty would so maul an injure the boilers and steam connec

tic that they would be beyond repair. Sa with new engines, from head-plate to cylder heads, they could never steam

Eding was distinctly spirited, but un- It ran of divified by any incident.

itse In the front of the crowd, the grey chie of the ship-breaking trade nodded theindvances. The Severn" was the first go, with an opening bid of £2000. But highest price was fetched by the tirat-iss armoursed cruiser Warspite," an 80-ton leviathan, which carries in armoiand deck plating no less than 1307 sons steel. She fell to Messrs Ward, of Sheffil, for £18,15), an excellent price. This m also purchased the North- ampto" of the same type, for £15,800.

Onest the largest purchasers was Mr Garnhi, of Upper Thames street, London, who adired a soful little fleet comprising a thirdass battle ship and three cruisers for a td sum of £31,800. There is more than orPower that would be glad to affect a simil leal. Messrs King, of Garston, bought two first-class cruisers, the "Galat" and Australia," for £11,150 and £900 respectively, both of which though sy must be broken up, are yet seaworth fighting ships up to a certain -point.

Mr Hill said it was the concensus of the opinion of the most in- telligent and most experienced men in rail." road affairs that the day had passed for the building of narrow-gauge roads except for temporary use or of only a few miles length. Ho cited the case of Japan which is gridironed with narrow-gauge railroada and which bitterly regrets not having them of standard width.

In the course of this conversation with Secretary Taft, Mr Hill said that he had no personal interest in the railroads of the Philippines.
