THE INDIAN ARMY,

Speech by Lord Kitchener.

At the meeting of the Indian Legislative Council on March 2 Lord Kitchener made a lengthy speech on the arany question and the scheme of re-organisation in India. He could not agree with a previous speaker (the Malaraja of Dharbang a) that advant age should be taken of the alliance with Japan to save money in respect to the army. Surely he must recognise that there were higher and more worldwide intereste underlying the alliance with Japan than the merg pecuniary advantage that lo put forward. It was, of course, evident that owing to recent events they had had & breathing space in which to completo pre- cautionary measures which had been recognise to be indispensable, but that was no reason why they should abandon their efforts to remove obvious and ack- nowledged defects and deficiences, orreduce the Amy below the standard that was considered necessary before any of these events occurred,

The Forfeiture of a Deposit.

In the Full Court this morning, before their Lordships Sir Francis Piggott (Chief Justice) and Mr A. G. Wise (Paisne Judge) an appeal against the decision of the Puisne Judge was heard. The case was one in which Tam Man Sam sued Tam Yau and Cheung Sau Pang for $1000, being 8500 deposit on a contract and §500 damages for non-completion of the contract, and the Paiene Judge gave his decision in favour of the defendants. This decision was appealed against, and a special case was ordered to be stated.

Captain Rathbone, who was in charge of the ship, said: "I don't call what we saw off Dunzeness a sea-serpent. I profer to give it no name, When I first saw it I took it to be a baulk of timber, and in order to avoid running into it I altered the course of the vessel;

"We then ran alongside of the strange object, which was fully fifty feet in length and about a foot in diameter at its thickest part. It lay perfectly still, and I have no doubt it was dead.

As we possed within three feet of its head, which, had two eyes and two small eara, both I and my crew leared over the vessel's side, and we all saw it plainly. Its head was something like that of a conger eel, and its skin was streaked with grey lines."

ATTEMPTED RIOT IN BRUNEL

A Plucky Resident.

LABUAN, April 13,

A disturbance, that would.reen to have been very nearly attended with seious results, is reported from Brunei.

It is said to have occurred on the 7th instant, and to have been caused by the Resident's introduction of heavy duties on native foodstuffs.

In some quarters, the action of the Resi dent is regarded as ill-advised and some.

what wanting in tact.

The Resident, so the story goes, ordered one of his Sikh guard to arrest native who was charged with owing 34 to an old monopolist in the coconut oil trade,

This monopolist, since the debt was it. curred, had been bought out on extraord inarily generous terms.

A despised (7) Sikh oboyed the Resident's orders and in doing so assaulted, it is said,

a proud (?) Brunei native, who at once call

ed out to the men within his kampong

An angry but unarmed crowd, consisting of some three hundred natives, collected and proceeded to the Residency, with the object of lodging their protest.

The Resident is said to have ordered his guard to prevent the people from interview-1 ing him, and if necessary, to resort to stronger measures.

Pengeram, one of the 300, struggled to get through, to obtain a hearing.

Thereupon. the man was folled to the ground, which made the situation critical. The Resident, however, pluckily faced the intruders and gave them to understand he was not a bit afraid of them.

Before anything more was done, an in- quential Dative arrived upon the scene, and succeeded in calming and dispersing the orowd.

Bad blood, however, in said to have been created by the incident among the natives of the State (Brunei).—Straits

THE TRIBULATIONS OF AN M.P. To-day's Advertisements

Mr Michael McDonagh has an interest- ing, chatty article on "The Fascination of Parliament," in a recent

Monthly Review," A disappointed office-seeker wrote to the man whom he says "he carried in on hrown shoulders" thus :-

The M. P. is also expected to throw oil Here is a on disturbed domestic waters specimen of a communication which is by

no mane uncommon :-

If you just send her a line Baying Bill's all right, she will come round, She thinks such a lot of you since you kis sed the nipper the day you called for my vate."

But pity the poor M.P. who receiven Such A letter as the following.

**Honored Sir, I hear that Mr Balfour is not a married man. Something tells me that would make the right sort of wife For him. I am coming to London to- moruw, and will call at the House of Com- mon to see you, hoping you will get me an introduction to the honorable gentle- mail. I am only 30 years of age, and can de cooking and washing-Agnes Merton,

"PS. Perhaps if Mr Balfour would not have me, you would say a word for me to use of the policeman at the House,"

During the evening the member who re ceivgl this strange epistle cautiously ven- tured into the Central hall, and, suro oneagh, espied an eccentric-looking woman In gry controversy with a constable, who was trying to induce her to go away. But she refused to leave, and ultimately found a sympathetic companion in the crazy old lady who has haunted the place for year in the hope that some day she will induce the Government to restore the £6,000,000 of which she declares they have | robbed her.

Not long ago, Mr Robert Ascroft, one of the members for Oldham, in his annual address to the electors, made a remarkable disclosure of the rapacity with which the dr. is often preyed upon by constituents.

The late Mr Fielden, a week before Parliament rose, while we were sitting having a chat in the House of Commons, said to me, "However do you manage in Oldham ?" and I replied, "As well as I can." "He remarked, Would you believe it, that the first 12 months I was asked to give "-and the sums were mentioned no less than £27,000 Now (continued Mr Ascroft) I simply mention this because I made a rule to send a cheque when I could afford to send it. But I am not an African millionaire, and I have no shares in Klondike. Therefore you must please to understand that when I do not Answer these letters, and do not enclose & ebeque, it is for the simple reason that I can. I think that it is time not afford to do so. on ought to speak out, and though one, as A member of Parliament, is willing to do one's share for overy good work in the constituency, do not forget that there are other men in the constituency, and of great wealth, from whom you ought to get a thousand times as much as you ought to gel from me.
