Many of our chief stocks, which haya prao- tically been dormant for some time, have been again dealt in, and Incipient further improvement lû the market is quiet notice. able at the time of closing.

A fair number of local males have been put through, and several small lots have been purchased for Shanghai account, Natiofiale continue in demand at $40, but sharos remain very BCArce; it is doubtful, however, whether buyers would spring the rate if any shares were forthcoming.,

The nine inmates of the

Peculiarities of the "Dreadnought."

There are four shafts and propellers, two inside and two

The master of the fishing boat reported what had taken place to Inspector Robinson, at Shaukiwan police station later on in the day, and he engaged a launch and went to the spot. Here he found the four boats still at

Seven men were arrested and charged, at the Magistracy this morning, with stealing from a craft in distress.

The defendants in their statements declared that the clothing and other articles waro given to them by the complainant, who was grateful for being rescued, and wished to reward them, .

The complainant in reply to Mr Hazeland, denied that he had promised to give or had given the defendants anything for saying his life. His Worship said that he would convict the defendants of the charge but, taking into consideration the case, and seeing that the defendants claimed the goods as a matter of right, he did not propose to do more than bind the defendants over in the sum of $100 each to come up for judgment when called upon..

Evil Powers Drowned

By Lascars.

The Lascar crews of three P. and O. vessels at Tilbury Docks spent six hours on March 8 marching round the docks singing and dancing.

They wore strange garments, carried grotesque representations of birds, and had with them a mahogany car decked with artificial flowers. This car was eventually thrown into the Thames to signify the drowning of the evil power.

The natives, who had been given a holi- day for the occasion, were watched by large crowds. A strong force of police was present to prevent any fighting between the different castes.

expended on three battleships of the "Dominion" class and five cruisers of the "Devonshire" class. These arose in con- soquence of the changes of Admiralty policy after the contract for the ships had been made. Mention is also made of pay- ment of £8,000 to Rear-Adiniral Sir Percy Scott for his inventions in connection with naval gunnery. The gross expenditure on the Navy for the year was £36,859,681, of which $34,456,282 was for the maintenance of the active service, and £2,403.399 for half-pay, pensions, and gratuities.

The Committee on Naval Designs has, it is stated, recommended that no more small protected cruisers be built. The war fleet of the future is to consist of battleships and armoured cruisers, the torpedo flotillas and submarines forming separate self- contained forces.

A Contemporary of the Georges.

In a comfortably furnished room at the Home for the aged, conducted by the Little Sisters of the Poor, at Meadow-rond, Lambeth, sits a pathetic figure. It is that of James McNally, who on February 15 entered upon his 110th year, and received the congratulations of his friends.
