In a leading article that Journal is inclined to lay the blame on Lord Rosebery, who convicted Bimselt even while he uttered his warning about the faters. He evidently regarded the Far Eastern Question, stares The Times, as having been superadded to our other cares by the war between Chian and Japan, and also af con- cerning the statesmen of the future rather than those of the present.

Commissioner of the Naval College, Ninking. Your Excellency, I beg to hand you herewith the result of the examination of the Engineering Students, and I sisa encloss coples of the papers which, as you will see, are very comprehensive -Including, as they do, the chief subjects that Naval Engineers are requised to know.
In drawing up these paper I have been chiefly Ralded by the questions given at Greenwich College for the final examination of Engineer Students for the British Navy; and the questions I have given are very similiar to those given
there.
The papers on Theorellcat Euglcearias, Englue Desion, and Calculations, Mechanics, Hydrostatics, Hydraulics, Mathematica, etc., are, as you will see, difficult ones, and I consider the students have worked them very wall ladeed,
In drawing to the Papers on Practical Engineering, which are rather easier thes would be given at Greenwich, I have had to take into consideration the situation of the College, being so faraway from any engineering establishments; and the difficulties nöder which the students work In never being able to see the practical part of the designing and construction of machinery.

As you will see from the enclosed list, the maximum percentage of marks obtained in 4.4. and the average of the whole class is 65.5. This is, I consider, a very good result Indeed, reflect- log the highest credit on Professor Hearson, and one which I am sure will be very gratifying to you, especially when you consider that the stude ents are leaming foreign profession, In a foreign language, and that besides this they have to keep up their Chinese studies as well.
I have been very much interested in the way in which the College is conducted. The smart appearance of the students, their drill, discipline, and orderly ways do great credit to all concerned, and you are to be congratulated on having such an efficient establishment for kralaing officers for so importsat a service as the navy."
