The passage of Senator Barah's resolu- tion is purely a formal victory, for the pressure of outside opinion may have cemain moral effect, but in the mean- while the House has voted £4.500.000 for the Navy, to which the Senate Naval Committe recommends the addition of £25.000.000.

That the latter sam will be reduced to £2.500.000 seems cortaic, but it will not be further reduced.

THE HONGKONG AGREEMENT.

TEN CHESTS MONTHLY.

Peking. May 19.-With reference to reports which have been circulated by certain Chinese news agencies, enquiries by Reuter at the British Legation have elicited the following
