This morning, and for several mornings, as I have been coming to town through the Glenealy, I bave noticed several, smiall Portuguese lads armed with butterfly nets and bird cages, each containing one or more small birds, which I presume have been juist captured. This morning I counted no less than eight birds in one cage. Surely if this kind of thing is allowed to go on unchecked we shall soon have no small birds in the colony. Enclosing my card,

LONDON, June 24th..

The Conservative papers, in discussing the action of the Government, condemn the with drawal of the license purchasing clause of the Local Taxation Bill, which they assert is au unnecessary concession. The proposal to let the sums voted for the purchase of licenses accumulate, they add, is certain to cause fresh obstruction and hopelessly delay the business of the House. The Morning Post advises the Government to drop the Bill altogether. The Times censures the Government for ever having

LONDON, June 24th, Mr.. W. H. Smith's motion to appoint Select Committee of Enquiry to facilitate the passage of bills by carrying over the debate to the following session, has been passed unani- mously.

Mr. W. H. Smith, in reply to a deputation of publicans which walted upon him, assured them that the money accumulated under the amended Local Taxation Bill, will never be devoted to any other purpose than the extinction of licenses.

BERLIN, June 25th. Prince Bismarck, speaking of the Aggio- German Convention, said that Great Britain knew well how to protect her own interests, He deprecated the British protectorate over Zanzibar on the ground that it would act preja- dicially against the German element there.

BRUSSELS, June 25th.

The attitude of Holland at the Anti-Slavery. Conference, in absolutely refusing to agree to import duties in the Congo State, threatens to render the Conference a complete failure.

LONDON, June 25th.

The whole trunk and branch linesof Manchuria and Chibli are to be finished in eight years, but I understand the line from Newchwang to the Amur will be undertaken first, and with a good staff of workmen there should by very little difficulty in completing it within the prescribed period of twenty working months. The whole distance to be traversed by the Newchwang and Amur line is comparatively level, and as it will rus alongside the mountains for nearly the whole 3,000 7, timber, stone, lime, coal and ballast can be got in abundance and with ease.

At no time could the advantage of a railway be seen better than now. Owing to the long continued drought the River Lino and its affluents have become so shallow that boats of the very lightest draught have to unload and load cargo 300 // south of the places they usually reach. Thus more than the half of the lower

provlace is completely cut off from exporting the large stores of grain which fill its granaries, and consequently local prices have fallen very low and many firms have suffered severely. A few days ago the crops looked very parched and sickly, but after the refreshing rain of the past three days they look healthy and vigorous, and our fears of another' famine have vanished. There will be only about half a crop of wheat and barley, for the recent rains came too late to comparatively a failure; millet and beans are do them much good. The oplum will be

thin in many places.

The Gleneagles arrived last week at Shanghai with a cargo of about 2,500 tons of machinery, consisting of plant for a blast furnace, ordered by Chang Chih-tung.

SERIOUS DISTURBANCE AT

It appears from the native papers that H.E. Chang Chih-tung's projects of building factories is not going to be carried out without some opposition and disturbance. A quantity of bulk. machinery arrived recently at Wachang, which had been imported from foreign countries for some works In the neighbourhood of that place. It was to be sent on to its destination in boats, and its bulk would necessitate the removal of some of the low bridges across the river in order to allow of its passage up the river. H.E. gave

PLATFORM OF THE BRITISH MERCANTILE MARINE

OFFICERS! ASSOCIATION.

IMPORTANT TO SHIPMASTERS AND OFFICERS.

1:

A MARITIME AND NATIONAL NECESSITY,

endeavour on the part of Masters and T no time is the necessity for united Officers greater than row. The constant cropping up of new features in the ever-changing surface to the shipping world, having many points directly affecting nautical interests, require the greatest vigilance on the part of the representa tiys of our Mercantile Marine.

(1938

The work canied on by the combined efforts of this ard kindred bodies is increasing enormously.

Much of this work is for the good of every Certificated Officer in the Service, and in the general interests a large expenditure of time and money is absolutely necessary. While the wel- fare of the whole is thus jealously and zealously guarded and advanced, the associated workers reaping distinct and manifold benefits,

The work is necessarily limited, however, bert its expansion is simply a question of constituents. Given the adhesion of every Certificated Mariner, and the direct and indirect benefit to the British Merchant Service will be incalculable.

The keys of the maritime world await the claim of a United Mercantile Marine to their possession. The cohesion of every part will undoubtedly constitute the whole the rightful possessor of the appropriate power. Without

this a thousand disintegrating fragments play havoc with a splendid heritage. The opportuni- ties for a rallying of forces have been frequently presented, but most have passed by unimproved. Again the signs are favourable, the claims are great, the call is clear, and the response should be unanimouE

All the great elements in the composition of the Merchant Service would be healthier, stronger, and more prosperous, by reason of a united brotherhood of nautical men. The Gov- crament, Shipowners. Underwriters, Shippers, and all connected with the commercial life of the Service would be invigorated, while the maritime bone and muscle would respond to the head and heart of a full-toned organization.

It is a necessity of the times that infinitely varied and world-wide interests be placed under responsible and capat:le supervision, and in no other industry are the claims so paramount as that of our sea-borne brethren.

Their history is a history of loyal devotion to duty; of heroic behaviour in the most difficult and perilous circumstances; of forbearance and an unresenting spirit while endasing wrongs and suffering grievances which no other class of the community would either tolerate or be allowed to bear-and that at the hands of a Government Department whose work should rather have been their protection than their persecution. The record is entirely in their favour as lovers of helr country and faithful servants of their Queen, and none can write other than admirably of the commendable qualities that have so long distinguished the British Mercantile Marine as a whole,

The Masters, Officers, and Engineers may therefore be trusted to gradually unite their forces and improve their position, carrying with them the good wishes, and also advancing the interests, of all associated with shipping.

The task before them demanda not only saity to a man, but resourceful enterprise and patient pledding. To keep pace with the times; improve the tone of the personnel; take up wisely new positions of defence and departure; advance steadily along the lines of legislation--the while weeding out cumbering and offensive enactments! import new blood into the Service, and provide.

for those whose voyage la caded-all this will require steady application and indomitabla courage and perseverance. Cut the work can and must be done, Maritime supremacy does not mean ships so much as men, and the latter are the most important. Capitalists are embarking in enormous marine yndertakings, the populations of the world is increasingly on the move, commerce beyond the seas is a growing quantity, and men are wanted who will govern themselves, stand by one another, and advance all round.
