THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1882.

The War Office authorities have determined to make another change in the uniform of the Line This time the alteration is to be in the right direction. The want of a rough campaigning jacket, trousers, boots, and gaiters has long been felt in the Service. These will now be supplied by the new order. The jacket is to be of what is called the "Norfolk" pattern, the breeches to be wide and loose, the leggings of stout leather, and the boots extra strong. The color of the new uniform is not yet decided on.

Mr. Bandrant inade her sing the song several times. He afterwards came up to her and said she was not to sing it, used very bad language to her, and she left the stage. She went home to the hotel. Mr. Bandmann came after her there and said if she did not go back to rehearsal he would drag ter there. She was rather afraid, and went back, Mr. Bandmann sore at Mist Raymond at that rehearsal, and she left the stage crying. The stage manager's name was Mr. Nunn. Nothing happened on that occasion between Mr. Bandmann and Mr. Nuun.

Bandmann swore at Miss Mylford and used bad language to her.-Mr. Fraser-Smith here said he would not ask her to repeat what Mr. Bandmann had saal. She said she would not wish to do so. She heard Mr. Bandmann swear at Miss Mylford at the performance of "Narcisse." Miss Mylfand went into witness's room crying. There was not one performance passed at which Mr. Handmagn did not abuse Miss Myiford shamefully. Miss Myford left the Company in Shanghai because had shaken her (witness) repeatedly. He took her by the arm and shook her, leaving the marks of his lingers on her arm.

ACCORDING to a contemporary the question of the scarcity of gentlemen willing to accept Vo. lunteer commissions under the present conditions of service, is forcing itself upon the military auto- crats at headquarters. There is little doubt that the expense of providing outfit, subscriptions, and so forth, attendant upon accepting a com mission, tends, in a great measure. to prevent young men from joining the Service. Either (431 many of these superduous drains upon the pocket must be discharged by the Government, or some substantial advantages should be accorded to the force to make it worth the while of anyone to accept a commissing. Could not the Volunteer Service be made a means of passing into the Re- gular Army, on the same principle as that exist ing in the Militia?
