THE SENSATIONAL PICNIC.

As indicated in last night's Telegraph, the "picnic" in which a number of Hongkong's self- elected Elte conducted themselves like a crowd of third-class larrlkins, has led to the alleged leaders of the gallant representatives of our local champlons of Nedlasse Oblige being summoned before the Police Magistrate, and they will doubtless Interview Worship" at the Magistracy to-morrow morning.

At considerable trouble and incor venter ce the Telegraph has acquired sellable reports (from several sources) of this anything but creditable affair; but the depost tions on path of witnesses at the Police Court will be the best evidence to place before our readers, and therefore we stand alos for the time being.

The gentlemen who will face the music at the Magistracy to-morrow, according to our latest Information from head-quarters, are Mr. H. W. Fraser, clerk in the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank, Mr. W. M. Wood, acting accountant in the Mercantile Bank of India, Limited, and Mr. 1. Chaudet, of the Naval Dockyard. Other members of this Sunday School show would, so we are Informed, have been included in the summons, but there was no opportunity for identification; but doubtless they will appear as witnesses.

He then laid bold of the two girls and gave each several loud, hearty kisses, the result being that both young women have become famous throughout the empire.

LONDON, August 29th. Daring the discussion on the Navy Estimates to the Commons Sir Edward James Reed, who at que time was Chief Constructor of the Navy, declared that the disaster to the worship Victoria was just what was expected of that class of vessels years ago. There remained in the Navy other vessels of the same type and he wondered how many more would capsize before the Ad- miralty could be indrced to abandon that description of war verici. -

Admiral Field said the standard for the Navy should be based upon the work the Navy and to do. This was not taken into consideration, but the framers of the Naval Estimates say ten more first-class ships are required, especially effective rams. A large sum of money has been spent uzon vessels of that class, and they looked like rams, but they did not deserve the name. They could do no more execution than a msu tilting against a stone wall with a thimble on his nose, Mr. Goschen said such an assertion could not be passed over, and he demanded that the Govern ment institute a searching inquiry into the con struction of all vessels of a similar typa to the ill-fated Victoria.
