THE P AND 0. AND ITE OFFICERS

Not long after the unfortunate grounding of the P and O. China on Perim the directors nominated a committee of their officials to in "quire into the whole system of rules by which

their officers on board ship were regulated. A AS a result of this, new set of rules was drawn

BURMAH TO YUNNAN RAILWAY! (25th) Sir E. Ashmeal Bartlett asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether Lieutenant Waits-Jones had dis- cavered a good milway route to Yung-chang-fu Mongkyung to Vini-chau, which could be reached by Kunlon Ferry without difficulty; railway to be made from Bitrah to Yunnan. and whether this discovery would enable the

A certain amount of feeling amongst n. minority of the officers has been engendered by these new rules, and, to ii reporter, one of them has said that genial and gentlemanly officers who are discreet in their social relation- ship with passengers

have done much to render the P. and O. service popular. Under Rule 68, the oife quotes above, and the 'rest of the new regulations, life on a P. and O. liner will he intolerably dull for officets. pad passengers alike. Then, when other lines, begin to reap the benet, the P. and O. directors will see. their foolish mistake.

Despite this display of feeling, however, it cannot be denied that the new regulations are alike in the interest bath of the P. and 0. Company anil the great number of passengers the company now carries. Many of the senior officers have long been in favour of regulations such as have now been enacted, and the officers who have expressed their determination to leave the service because they are'un longer allowed to freely mix with the passengers, as of yore, will get no public, sympathy. As the Baily if points out, the fate of the China was sufficient warning to the directors of the P and O. Company that the time had come when the anomaly of what are named in the Atlantic as salhon" captains and officers should become a thing of the past. If we had been informed that some proper provision had been made for management of passengers' baggage, and improvements in the cuisine we should have been additionally pleased..

The Maff publishes two letters on the subject, Mariner says: read with grief the remarks of the "young gentleman" (very young, hope) who considers it part of his duty to ask passengers in for morning pegs." The sooner he sends in his resignation the, better for the rnd O.

Mr. Buchanan invited the First Lord of the Admiralty to suppleulent his furmer stalement on the Navy vote by explaining what he meant when he sahi that it was also the design of the Government to fortify Wei-hai-Wei sufficiently. Mr Gibson Bowles observed that it was extremely unfair of the hon. member opposite to ask the Government what their intentions. were in regard to Wei-hai-Wel, because it was quite clear they did not know,-Mr. Warner also pressed for more precise information as to Wei-bai-Wei, because he thought it was clear the Committee of Defence of the Cabinet must have some distinct idea of what they meant to do there.

Mr. Goschen. The question of Wei-hai Wei has been considered and is being con sidered, I may say, at this moment by the Ca hinet Committee of Defence. Both the Army proposals and the Navy proposals have been before that committee, and it is that committee which is at present investigating the subject There have been very full reports sent home from Wei-hai-Wei. by Colonel Lewis, who was, sem nut to report on the question of the de fences of that place.

BRITISH SUBJECTS IN JAPAN, (25th.) Mr. Ascroft asked the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether any satisfactory arrangements has been made by Her Majesty's Government with the Government of Japan specting the incarceration of British subjects Japanese prisons; and whether any conces sions had been obtained from the Japanese Government relating to the disabilities and other matters of grave importance affecting the lives and liberties of British subjects resident in Japan, referred to in their memorial presented to Her Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign

Affairs.

Mr. Brodrick: Assurances have becu giren by the Japanese Government that measures will be taken to provide foreign prisoners with food and accommodation in accordance with their manner of living. Its not possible to take a full reply to the second question within the limits of an answer to a question; but I regaling reforms in the Press Law and restric inay say that assurances have been received tions an foreigners generally, and that there is no reason to fear that British subjects will not be fairly treated when the new Treaties come into operation

(16th.) Mr. Gordon moved the second read- ing of the Ecclesiastical Assessments (Scot- land) Dill-a permissive measure, designed to remove a long-standing grievance by relieving certain owners of properly from the payment of rates for the maintenance of the Established Church across the Border. The Lord Advocate intimated that the Bill had the support of the Government, who regarded it as an honest attempt to do away with the irritation which was often caused by the exaction of a perfectly legal liability. On a division the second read- ing was carried by 177 votes to 12p.

THE RADICAL. LEADER ON THE BUDGET. Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman was last even- ing the guest of the Eighty Club at a dinner at the Cate Monice, and, in responding to the four's recent speech at the frimrose League toast of his health, dealt chiefly with Mr. Hal- demonstration. He said the plain fact about the financial proposals of the Government was that their expenditure had outrun their income in spite of the marvellous growth of the intler, and therefore there was a deficit in the current year, which the Government proposest to incet by reducing the charge for the reduction of the Debt. That charge had been imposed to main- tain the credit and reputation of the nation, and to keep a reserve for the emergency of war er for any exceptional necessity. Now, we were country in the financial world, to break in on to lose something of the high character of this an established policy supported by the authority precedent, in order to save £180,000 of our greatest financiers, and to set up a fate1
