From the end of the year 1895 in tl the end of the year 1900 it was my duty to examine the annual reports of the Commandant of the Hongkong Volunteers, and these reports during those years showed a continual progress both as regards numbers and officionoy. At the end of the year 1895-6 the number of Volunteers was 125; at the end of 1896-7, 159; 1897-8, 176;

I am alle froni my recollection of the reports of the other Volunteers and Militia in the British colonies to say that the state of the Hongkong Voluntess compared, as judged from these reports, very favourably with the state of the other 80,000 Militia and Volunteers forming the forces of the other colonies of the Empire. (Applause). I was a little disappointed when I arrived bere to learn that the numbers had gone down to a little over 200, and also that there wass tendoney on the part of the young men in Hongkong to shandon Voluntouring for other amusements and I had to consider what steps should be taken to revive interest in the corps and increase its numbers and offeiney. My experience during the five years of dealing with reports from the colonial troops of the Empire makes we believe that the best way for increasing the forps at Hongkong was.to have its various com- ponent parts under conditions which would take advantage of the special oircumstances of the various classes of the population. (Applause.) This was a system that I followed in the Volunteers on the Gold Coast with some success. There I found that at the various-coast-stations there

It has been suggestel, because we have not on all occasions seen eye to eye with the kindly impulsed people who have written letters to this paper, that on the subject of humanitarianism we are not sound; that we show symptoms, in fact, of callousness to the enterings of our dumb relations. It would be very easy, of course, to profess unbounded sympathy with all humanitarian movements whatsoever, without any qualifications or reservations; but it would not be honest.
