Another mate has caused a good deal of criticism, and sa fie na one has been able to
give any reason to justify it. Why were the names of the stramais changed to the names of the local ports they run to? For instance we have had the Steamer Zain with the mail for Laburan raving for Labuan; there is also a small local line which has a steamer of the same name, so the absurdity is possible of two Labuans leating for Laban the same afternoon. Can anything be imagined anere confusing? In fact, heard a wag ask the question will the big Labs or the little Labuan make the Labuan letters?

DEPARTURE OF THE "KINGS OWN" FROM SINGAPORE..
SINGAPORE, 2ph February.
看看
A great gathering of Singapore "friends assembled at Tanjong Pagar wharf this mora ing to see the last of the departing King's Own Regiment, who proceeded in the ss ilar to Southampton via Aden; Colombe being omitted. Practically everybody was there, military and naval and that must be indication enough of the general regret at the leaving of so popular a battalion as that commanded by Lt. Col. Rowlandson. While good-byes were in progress on boạn, the band of the 16th M N. played some lively airs on the wharf, winding up with "Auld Lang Syne."
Just before 10 am, at the warning round ofa bell, friends hurried to the gangway, a final hand stroke hearty "good-luck to you," and the ship was cleared.
As the Dilona siowly left the wharf the band commenced to play the "British Grenadiers," "The Girl I left behind me," and finally as the ship was well under way "Anid Lang Syne" "Three cheers for Singapore," from the Dilwara, three cheers for the gallant "King's Own" from those ashore, and Singapore had said good bye to one of the best regiments that ever dil
garrison duty here.
The following kindly farewell telegram was received from Sir Alexander Svertenham from Perang by Lt. Col. Rowlandson K.O. R. :— j
"Wish you, your officers, and your fine regi- cat a pleasant voyage and all good luck. We shall miss you all greatly.”—S, F. Press.
MORE RUSSIAN RE- INFORCEMENTS.
On the 22nd ulle. there arrived at Singapore two Russian transports, the Petersburg with 1,535 Ressian soldiers, and the Paronitz with 911 soldiers on board. Both are bound for Vladivostock. On the subject of these two vessels with the troops they are hurrying to the Far East, a home paper says:

The Irish Nationalists. A meeting of members of all sections of the
Irish Nationalist Party was held in a Committee Form of the House of Commons on joth January to consider the question of re-union. "The attendance numbered sixty, and included Mr. Dillon, Mr. J. Redmond, and Mr T. M. Italy. After considerable discussion a resolution was unanimously passed, declaring *** ኸ፡ end the divisions which ball hitherto separated Trish Nationalist represent atives, ang forming one united Party in accordance with the principles and under: The constitution of the fish Parliamentary party of 1885-90. Mr. J. Redmond, in the course of his speech, remarked that it was no exagger- tion to say that for the first time since the Union the power of England was seriously menaced. lingland's prestige, which had protected her so long, was at this moment almost shattered, and no men couhl tell what might not arise out of the situation.
The Early Calling of Parliament.
The present reign yields only thirteen in stances of Parliament being enked together su early as Jan. 30. In 1881 the date of meeting was Jan. 6, in 1886 Jan. 12, in 1838 and 1840 Jan. 16, in 1878 Jan. 17, in 1847 and 1897 Jan. 19, in 1946 and 1891 Jan 22, in 1855 Jan. 23, in 1860 ja 24; in 1841 Jan. 26, and in 1857 Jan. 27. In the cases of Parliament reassen:- Ling after Autumn Sessions the only years when members had to resume work befor the month of February were 1838, 1855, and 1891. The Session of 1855 opened under conditions dissimilar to those now prevailing, fur criticism was rife at that time roncerning the conduct of the war in the Crimea, and one of the first matters for discussion was Mr. Roglintk's motion for the appointment of a committee to inquire in the condition of our Anny, before Sebastopol and into the conduct of those Departments of the Government whose duty t has been to minister to the wants of That Army."

Prospects of Mobilization. With the departure of the Eighth Division at an early date, this country will be practically denuded of Regular troops. Under ordinary circumstances, the ships of the Channel Squadron, now refitting at Portsmouth, De- vonport, and Chatham, would leave about now for the usual spring cruise. A Portsmouth Correspondent indicates that the Admiralty recognise that, in view of the. defenceless condition of these islands, the country would object to any such action. Consequently the The two Volunteer Fleet cruisers Varonis Channel vessels will go to Ireland for a short and Petersburg, which left Odessa a few days cruise, so as to be near at band, and in the ago for the Far East, carried between them

Death of Lord Queensberry. The death of Lord Queenslerry, which on- cured on 31st January in London,, removes a curious figine from the spent world. The late peer represented a type-dif aristocracy which is less common in our time than it was a century ago-the type which is associated in the public mind with a file of idleness and indulgence rather than with the useful aims which sich a man as the Lite Duke of Westminster set steadfastly before him. The de Marquis of Queen derry was in many ways a man of strong chatanter, bil, unfortunately, also of ill-balanced mind, and he never turnal to may accoled cither his talents or the powers which his pui- tion gave him. Land Queensberry was an un doubled authority on one thing, and that one thing was being. The Queensberry Tutes, which govern the contests of the prize ring, will keep his fame alive at any rate, amongst pogi lists and amateurs of the noble art." Or his carcer there is lule to be said, He served in the Navy for a time, and he held a commission in the Dumfriesline Volunteers. Except in these capacities he caune hile before the public. Lord Qurensberry mamed in 1866 Sibyl, daughter of Mr. Alfred Moutgranery and granddaughter of the first Lord Reconfiell, By her he was divorced in 18% He manied again in 1893, but in the following year the second marriage was also anuntled.
