A NAVAL MARRIAGE.
A pretty wedding ceremony was celebrated this morning by the Rev. Father de Maria at St. Joseph's Church, Commander E. FA Gaunt, R., Commissioner of Wei-hai-wei and Administrator of Likung Tau being united to Louise Geraldine Manyn, daughter of Mr. John Gregory Martyn, J., of Gregaus
The bride looked exceedingly pretty in a white satin dress trimmed with pearls and passementerie, with a short tulle veil,and carried a shower bouquet of whito azaleas and tuberoses. The bridegroom wore uniform frock coat, cocked hat, sword and epaulettes, the best man, Com- mander C. D. Granville R.N., (H.M.S. Centurion), being also in uniform. The |'bride was given away by Captain Arthur C. Clarke, RN,, (IIS) Undaunted), and Mrs. Clarke, dressed in dove coloured silk trimmed with Maltese lace and a black toque trimmed with grey chiffon and black wings, acted as the bride's mother. There were no bridesmaids.
Among the wedding guests were Vice- Admiral Sir Edward 13. Seymour, K.C.B, Flag Captain J. R. Jellicoe, R.N., and Flag Lieutenant F. A. Powlett, R.N., Rear Admiral S. C. Holland, Mrs. atul the Misses Holland and Secretary, V. A. Lawford, R.N., Captain A. Schomberg, R.N., Mrs. Mongonierie, Madam The O'Garaian, Cominander and Mrs. Pudsey Dawson. Fleet Surgess and Mrs. Johnston, Mrs. Lawless, Mrs. Close, Staff- Surgen and Mrs. Barnes, Commander C. H.
Lord Salisbury's diplomacy was formerly severely criticised, and the opinion was freely expressed that British interests in China were being sacrificed. We believed that the course which has been followed has been dictated by the bighest principles. There is not one of Dare, R.S., Commander I. J. Davison, R.N., those best informed who would be quite will ing to undertake, without hesitation, the diff cult and responsible duties of the Prime Minister, who claims our admiration for the judicial spirit in which foreign relations are considered and
discussed. The Tins lately expressed the idea, in conexion with this subjaci,, that it was infinitely better 14 suffer

It is our national love of justice and of right which has restrained the advance of our policy in China, and we cannot believe that God, in his good providence, will permit us, as a nation, to suffer from this cause. There are sometimes considerations: even higher than law, and better than abstract justice and absolute consistency. Before taking action, we may ask ourselves; Are we quite sure of natives? Are we actuated by the fear of God, and is our object the good of men' Can we sincerely ask God's blessing on fresh The Chairman proposed the re-election of enterprise, and with confidence expect it: if it Mr Fullerton Henderson as auditor,

drawbacks connected with that country, but to understand China was to forgive China. She was placed in a peculiar position. She was far removed from western influence, and he dought the fact that she existed at all was a sign that she could not be so worthless as some people would have them believe. He heartily agreed with Mr. Sharp's remarks as Anglo American alliance.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. Granville Sharpe delivered a lecture under the above title, before the Odd Volumes Society, at the City Hall A fairly large audience was present and the chair was taken by Colonel Evatt, who briefly into duced the lecturer. We regret that pressure upon our columns prevents us from giving a more detailed account of the address,
Mr. Sharp commenced by saying: There is one consolation in speaking upon such a miser- able afternoon as this is, as one feels satisfied that none of the young men who are present have been deprived of n pleasant walk Per- haps some of you expected to bear a lecturs. from Dr. Jordan. The Doctor is not able to be here this afternoon, and I have been asked to do my best to supply this lack of services. You will all be glad to know that the pleasure is only postponed and that we shall have the promised opportunity of hearing Dr Jordan this day week. The lecturer then explained that his paper had been written for a New York audience and begged his hearers to consider themselves as such for the nonce.

believing that the nation has in Lond Salisbury the most experienced and prudent statesman, he should support his policy and conduct of foreign affairs,
Some dissatisfaction has been expressed in the Molesey, Esher, the Dittons, and Tolworth parts of the Epsom Division over the selection of Mr. Keswick as the Conservative candidate, for the reason that they had not been consulted on the subject. It is even said that in the event of ao Liberal candidate appearing, there is a possibility that Mr. Barker will contest the seat with Mr. Keswick. Sutton, for some reason, also objects to Mr. Keswick, not per; sonally, but because it was not consulted, and feels on its dignity. It was because there were so many Richmonds in the field, however, whose rival claims were embarrassing, that Mr. Keswick, apart from the qualificantions he possesses, seems just the man for the con- stituency, which requires at once a county man, as a tribute to its rural susceptibilities, and a commercial man, who should be able to re present the City men who form a good proper on of the votes. The loyal way in which nearly everyone is rallying round Mr. Keswick is significant of the real strength of the party,

CLIPPINGS FROM HOME PAPERS,
CENTRAL ASIAN TRADE,
The Calenta Correspondent of The Times states-A report by Captain Trench, political- officer at Ladak, shows the India Varkand trade is suffering from a rapid decline. In view Lat the future uncertainty of our-trado-with- Chinese Turkestan and the clunce, that the 'upen door' in that quarter may not always be open as now, it is our duty to look for a fresh field. In my opinion this is to be found in the direction of Thibet. A commercial invasion of that country, with the rich provinces of Kansub, Szechuan, and Shensi in China as the objective, would, I believe, be profitable. There are already sonte hopeful. signs that the peasantry of 'Thibet are gradually losing their suspicions dislike of the trader from India. Ladak and Thibet trade is busy. To the few who are allowed to cross the harder surely there is much to advocate a policy which should carry trade to South China.
