ju said, for "peace at any price.” Some drastic measure was probably deemed necessary to allay this unrest and nothing could better serve this object than successful military operations giving promise of an early, and victorious peace. This is the view taken by many of those competent to judge, and, regarded in this light, Austria's venture is properly de scribed as a desperate gamble. Failure will give an added impulso to those elements of disorder which are already proving so embarrassing..

MILITARY FUNERAL.

The remains of the late Mr.

B.

Bryson, formerly of Messrs. Bunker & Co., who died in Honolulu, whilst on u

to Hongkong, yesterday evening, by the voyage to the United States,, were brought

Tenyo Maru. The fun procession was formed at Stone Fier and diesits way from there to Happy Valley, where the interment took place.

The late Mr. Bryson was a sergeant in the Hongkong Dolence Corps, and the funeral was accompanied with full mili- tary honours Tho gun-carriage was preceded by the firing party composed of men of the late Mr. Bryson's platoon under the command of Sergeant Osberry, and the band of the 18th Infantry which played Chopin's Funeral March, and following came the members of the Hong- kong Defence Corps, under the command of Major Morgan, and a large number of the general public.

Archdeacon Barnett conducted the service at the graveside, at the conclusion. of which three volleys were red and thố "Last Post" was sounded by four buglers, The chief mourners were:-M. and Mrs. J. H. Mead, Miss Lesbirel, Mr. and Mrs. Summers, Miss Summers, Mr, S. E. Green, M. G, Banker and Master D.

The offensive only commenced last Saturday, and it is too early, therefore, to speak decisively of its results. From the mengre accounts of the preliminary fighting, however, it appears that the Austrians have not met with even that measure of success which might renson ably be expected to follow an overwhelm. ing bambardment and an attack by large numbers of men. The Italians were not taken by surprise. They have consolidat ed their defensive positions during the past few months, and the men and material which they lost last year have been replaced.
