Six Thomas Sutherland mentioned lighting their own vessels, then, but not till then, that to 1894 and 1895 the mercantile shipping wil Mr. Ritchie's parallel have some semblance latertet of this country was charged £155,000 of being apposite. He took care when In excess of the actual cost of lighting the coast, putting forward the and in 1895 and 1896 with an excess of £179,000. furnished him by the
absurd comparison officials to throw This was "owing to the manner in which such in saving clause of his own; "I do things were manipolated, through the medium of the Mercantile Marine Fund." Colonel the two cases nie exactly parallel." Morrison said, "We pay not only for ourselves, Though Mr. Ritchie held out no promise that but for the ships of the Royal Navy, for yachts, Ings, fishing-boats, fish-carrying boats, and for alitha foreign navies which pass along our coasts, and have the use of our lights." He asked the President why the mercantile shipping of the Kingdom alone should bear the whole of this heavy charge--a charge not only for the whole cost of the lighting, but greatly in excess thereof. He further called attention to the
fact that British owners wern penalized abroad on account of the light-dans system carried out at home. For instance, it had been estimated that in America last year Beltish shipping was charged 30,000 by way of reprisal on account of our Government not lighting the coasts at Ita own expense. "That sum," he said, "must be locked on 11-4_additional tax imposed on British shipowners through what they conceived: to be a neglect of nations) duly by our Govern. ment." He proceeded :--
I should like to show the effect on a very im- portant trade of the present practice of charging for the lighting of the English coasts. There is a very large trade from India to America, and a very large portion of that trade passes through Europe for transhipment. There might be said to be two main chennals of that trade—the one runs through Liverpool and London, and the other through Hamburg. Now it an Engilab ship brings & cargo from Calcutta to Liverpool ar to London for transhipment to America, that ship pays for the whole of the lights which she prised along the English coast. The ship which conveys the cargo from London to America agala pays for the whole of the lights, and when the vessel arrives in America she is surcharged with the lonnige tax, simply because the English Government do not Hight their own coasts at the national expense. The foreign ship which goes to Hamburg, and which is bounty-led in respect of lis building and running, uses the whole of the English lights without paying anything for them; tranships its cargo to another foreign vessel, which again uses English Lights and pays nothing for them; and when she anives in America is entirely free from any tonnage tax, because Germany does not impose light-dues.-—-—
It is alsted on page 10 of the Report of the Departmental Committee that though British shipowners pay the light-dues" they necessarily recoup themselves for that disbursement by charging for it in their rates of freight and passage-money, the tax thus being passed on to the consumer. In regard to this Colonel Mor rison said :-
As to the argument that in this matter of light-dues shipowness were merely tax-collectors It was either true or false. If it was ixine, the gross injustice which they suffered in having to pay the light-does was at ones evident. But, supposing it was tans that they could pass on all the incidence of this taxation, why put shipowa- ers to that idle ceremony? Why not transfer the charge to the national exchequer and thereby make the tax payable by those by whom it should properly be paid 7
Ho also urged at the close of his speech that If the light dues (paid, not by shipowners as now, bat by the country) and the other liems of the Mercantile Marine Fund were brought under. the cognisance of Parliament year by year great benefit would be the result, for," the present arrangement tended to extravagance, and

up, his reply, taken as a whole, gives shipowners, to quote the words of Sir Thomas Sutherland, "something to live for, something to wish for, something to hope for." They have always however, a good stock of those ingredients of happiness on hand. They are the inspiritleg sack; what shipowners would like is one little pennyworth of bread to help out the hopes.
Finding that their views on this matter have been confirmed 'rather than otherwise by what all from Mr. Ritchio, owners consider that the subject should now be taken up vigorously by the shipowners' Associations and the Chamber of Shipping.

After 1901 the Department would make fresh demands. The ships were not necessary to protect the German conit, which could be defended by fortification But Germany must, in case of war, be able to prevent a blockade, as otherwise all her imports and exports would be cut off. Germany needed a strong Navy to occupy a similar faternational position to that of France, and her prestige abroad would go to the dogs if she were not better represented by her war-vessels in trans oceanic waters.

One of the greatest dis- comforts in the making of the great Siberian Raliway seems to have bean that, although the work has been carried on during the winter, proper care has not been taken generally for sheltering and anising the workmen, who have thereby suffered not ttle in the keen winter weather. In addition, it came about that most af the gangrof workmen took up their quarters miles away from any settlement; hence, it fated with
