In the great billiard match between Dawson and Roberts the latter is now well ahead, tlie latest score being: Roberts, 13,501, and Dawson, 12,065, Great interest is manifested in the contest, and although for some time Dawson held a good lead, it is not thought now that he has the slightest chance of again over taking his famous opponent.

MINISTERIAL CHANCES PROBABLE. According to a well-known London corres pondent the rumours of Ministerial changes, Când even of an early dissolution, are persistent, and tend to become more circumstantiat ratherthan fuss. It is well known that, apart, from the want of interest shown in the business of Parliament by a large, number of the Unionists who came in the last general election, there is a certain amount of active discontent. Promotion has been very slow for those who consider that they have any chance of official life. As to the rumours of disagree- onent in the Cabinet, these are manifold. "The Chancellor of the Exchequer has just denied; ne, which may be described as of very old circulation; but it does not even relatively de- Inng to the latest category.
KENT CAOL
It is announced that the Kent Goal Explorn tion Company has struck the coal measures at Barbam, and the Kentish enal tride" threa- tens to acquire a deeper and darker meaning than it had in the days when Mr. Micawber went to look at the Medway with a view to embarking in the grimy industry. In view however, of possiblai misunderstandings, it is worth while in explain that coal measures are not quite the same things as coal mines; they are merely the geological strata in which coal may, but need um necessarily, be found. Supposing that ceal is there, two further ques tions still remain to be answered: Are the scams thick' enough to be worth conkilering? And is the coal of such a quality that it will be worth while to spend money in-bringing it to surface? On the swers to these two questions the future alike of the Garden of England and of the Kent Coal Exploration Company depend.
THE RESULT OF A STRIKE.
A good deal of comment has been caused by the ws that the contract for the bridge which is to carry the new Soudan Railway over the River Albara had been given to an American firm, and it seems to have been assumed, in some quarters, that a Transatlantic ironmaster had been preferred to a British manufacturer, and that the Egypian Government had gone out of its way in ignore this country. But the facts are exactly the reverse, The English agents for the Egyptian Government, who have the ordering of the Athara Bridge, gave the first chance to British traders, and would doubtless have given them the sole chance but for the imperative importance of speedy delivery. Of the British ironmasters approached, not one could guarantee delivery in the time at which delivery was required. It will be found that the locomotives for the Soudan Railway, or, at all events, the first batch delivered, will come from America. The reason in this case is precisely the same. This is the after eftcer of the engineering, strike,

The Admiralty has advised the dockyard authorities of the vessels ordered home this year to pay off Amongst them are the cruisers Grafton, Immortaliti, and Archer, from China. A large number of vessels are to be recommissioned on their stations.

As we write there is a garden party in the Samanrom Palace, and to-night there will be a reception in the French Legation at at 10.30 , Inwing a dinner given by the French Charge d'Affaires.
April 19th.
The reception which the Governor-General uí Indo-China has met with in Bangkok leaves nothing to be desited on the score of heartiness ur of display. The Siamese authorities have received him with almost Royal honours, and have placed at his disposal the magnificent palice which had been previously necupied by the Count of furin and which was intended for Prince Henry of Prussia during his pro- | posed sojourn in this country. The foreign. community or at least its diplomatic representa tives vied with the Siamese in paying honour

the Governor-General, and up to the present. in spite of the jealousies and mis. understandings that are so likely to arise in a small Cosmopolitan community, not-a jarring note has been struck. Indeed, the most noticable feature of the welcome has been its international clxuracter. Taking the programme of to-day we find that M. Doumer will have tifin with the British Minister, and will dine in the afternoon with the Russian Minister. At previous functions we noticed the Italian Min- ster, the Japanese Chures de faires, the Dutch Consul General, the captain of the British gun boas in the river, the officers of the

Thus the vessel was not. fit to contend against the weather she might reasonably be expected to encounter at that time of year ina voyage across North Pacific Ocean. In the opinion of the Court the loss of the vessel was due to her boing insufficiently and improperly ballasted.
