Mr, Balfour and the Church. There is a widely spread rumour that Mr. Balfour intends to bring in a Bill early in the ensuing Session dealing with the troubles in the Church. The exact form of the measure not yet settled, but is understood that it will not be in the nature of a discipline Bill, but rather in the direction of a measure for giving /powers of self-government to the Church, sub-

Ject to the veto of Parliament,

The Vacant see of London. It is reported in ecclesiastical circles that the vacant bishopric of London is likely to be con.. ferred upon Dr. Jayne, the Bishop of Chester. The Bishop of Chester, whose handsome ap pearance led Mr. "Punch" to call him "My Pretty Layne," is well-known as a temperance advocate and as a good administrator. In Church controversies he may be described holding moderate High Church views.

Great Fire at Baku.

A terrible catastrophe has occurred at Baku. On the 5th ulto. a fire broke out in the magazine of the Caspian and Black Sea Company, com- taining an immense quantity of petroleum, amounting to 6,000,000 puds.. The flames spread to three other depots with a storage capacity of 12,000,000 puds, While every effort was being made to control the fire, the naphtha poured out, like a stream of lava, and inundated the dwellings of the working people. The houses caught fire and were utterly destroyed. Many persons perished.

:

Misplaced Enthusiasm.'

Ms. Carrie Nation, the leader of the Kansas Temperance Crusade, had a narrow escape from death on 5th ufto, in Topeka, the capital of the State. She entered the fines: saloon in the city, and was demolishing the furnishings when someone in the rear of the place fired a revolver shot at her. The bullet struck the wall just over her head. Five men and three women were with her at the time, and a great crowd in the streets gathered outside and threatened to lynch the entire party. They had begun to handle the men very roughly when policemen appeared and arrested Mr. Nation and her eight followers the best means of avoiding trouble.

The New Krupp Quick-Firer. It appears unlikely that the new quick-ring gun invented by Krupp will oblige the Admi Tilty to increase the calibre of our own second- ary armaments. Much will depend, of course, upon the rapidity of fire achieved by the Ger man weapon, and German officers are said to attach great importance to the invention of the 28 centimètre gun. It will be remembered, however, that the Germans adopted 8in, quick firers some five years ago, and that quick-firers of equal calibre have been produced by at least one British company. Our gunnery offers Experimented with these weapons and reported against then because the Service pattern sin. gun could throw a greater weight of metal in equal time.

Attempted Suicide of a Prince. A great sensation has been caused in the Russian capital by the attempted suicide of Prince Baryatinski, the editor of the Severințe Curier, which was suppressed by the Govem ment on account of its Liberal attitude. If was owing to this that the Prince got into diffi- culties, which were the mure embarrassing since he had fallen out with his millionaire father, on account of his marriage with an Actress. The Prince was a special favourite of the students, and it was his sympathies with them which caused the Government to pro- ceed against him. Should his attempt to take his life end in his death, it is feared that there will be serious demonstrations on the part of

the students.

The German Navy. The present year will witness a considerable Increase in the strength of the Germin navy, in accordance with the provisions of the Navy Law of 1900. Three battleships-the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, the Kaiter, Barbarassa, and the Kaiser Karl Her Grasse-which are being built at Kiel, Danzig, and Hamburg respectively, will, it is expected, be launched this year. The navy will be further strengthened by the addition of five cruisers, which will be completed before the end of the year. Besides the above vessels, five battleships, one armour. ed cruiser, and one gunboat are at present on the stocks, and will be joined, so soon as the naval estimates for the dnancial year 1901 are accepted, by two battleships, one armoured cruiser, and three protected cruisers, for the construction of which the first instalments will be voted,

The Alexandra Palace. Landon is to be congratulated on having secured the Alex.ndra Palace and grounds as national possession. Hitherto the place has not been very happy either in finance or reputation. It was long in building, and then. was burnt down, but even since its reconstruction it could never be called successful, and at one time it became notorious for its Cockney deer hunts and other sports, equally cruel and ridiculous. We are too busy, and we take our pleasures much too seriously, for a place of dubious entertainment in the distant suburbs. The difficulty will be. for the public authorities to decide now what use it will best serve. For the building itself we can imagine very little use of any kind, except that part of it might serve for occasional concerts on the scale of the Handel Festivals. But the grounds will be invaluable.

The Navy Estimates.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, MARCH 14, 1901.

tions gathered by Mr. Horniman in the past twenty-five years. The grounds of nearly ten aeres are suitable for a park or recreation ground; and there is also a library of 5,500 volumes of travels, natural history, &c., and 700 volumes of Biblical history. The Council accepted the gift with acclamation, the chait man estimating its value at from £60,000 to £100,000.

The Danger of Overhead Wires.

pool on 4th ult. had vary serious consequences An accident to the telephone wires in Liver and has caused great alarm in the city. It appears that a bunch" of wires fall upon the trolley wires of the electric tramway system, which are heavily charged with electricity. When the ends of the fallen wires touched the and people who came into contract with them. ground the electrical circuit was completed, received shocks of greater or less strength. The streets in the neighbourhood of the ac cident were full of people, and many persons became entangled in the "live" coils which were partly bidden by the snow. The earlier altemps at rescue only led to an addition to the number of vicinis, the current being transmitted to the would-be rescuers through the bodies of the original sufferers, The shrieks and groans of the terrified foot-pass engers are described as heartrending. When the unfortunate people were at length released from their perilous situation it was found that two men had been killed, and that a great many others were in a serious condition, suffer- ing from burns, hysteria, and shock. The fall of the wires was due to the accumulation of snow upon them.

Naval Expenditure.

An instructive paper hat just been published showing, for all the principal countries in the work, how the naval expenditure ot each coun- try compares with the commercial interests at stake. The paper is specially valuable for the light it throws on the vexed question whether the Colonial contributions towards the naval defence of the Empire are adequate. After studying these figures the most complacent Canadian or Australian will be bound to admit that the Colonies do not make a very creditable appearance. Take first the question of exports, In proportion to their exports-by sea-the six Colonies of Australia which are now federated in one Commonwealth spent on naval defence one halfpenny forevery pound's worth of trade. The United Kingdom spent in proportion is. 5d., ar thirty-four times as much. Take next the mercanifle marine. For every ton of Aus the corresponding figure for the United King. tralian-owned shipping Australia spent ros; dom was $78. It may be argued that Australia revenue test gives the same result as the other is poorer, and can therefore afford less; but the tests. Out of every pound of revenue raised the United Kingdom devotes ts. 4d. to the three halfpence; New Zealand stands much in naval defence of the Empire; Australia devotes the same position as Australia.

The German Emperor.

The Times in a leading article says: German Emperor has shared the sorrows of his The simple and cordial fashion in which the Royal kiosfolk and of the British people will not lightly be forgotten by us. Now that all is over he, too, is constrained to terminate his long visit of condolence and of respect to our shores and to return to his exalted duties as the Sover eign of the German people. and there may again be differences of opinion There have been between the British and German nations, but these two great races of Teutonic blood have many fine qualities in common, and one of the finest, as it is one of the deepest and one of the mast general, is their affectionate regard for family ties the Emperor has shown to the memory of his Both peoples feel that the devotion grandmother does credit to the excellence of his character and of his heart. We in England of all ranks and classes have been profoundly touched by it-the mare profundly because we are well aware that it does not and cannot possess the political significance some ill in- formed Continental writers have been inclined ings towards the German Emperor it has stir- to ascribe to it. The kindly and cordial feel. red in all hearts may, we trust, help to premole a better understanding between ourselves and the nation over whom William 11. bears rule, but, save in this respect, this tribute of family affection and of love and reverence for the dead cannot be supposed to have any direct influence upon international affairs.

Through Chinese Spectacles. In a series of letters to the Saturday Review signed John Chinaman," the writer regards certain aspects of Western civilisation from the Chinese point of view. Some of his remarks are not without both sente and force, and at see ourselves as others see us. The picture is any rate it is distinctly useful on obcasions. not exactly flattering, but after making all allowances for exaggeration, candour compels one to admit that it is not altogether fanciful The English citizen, from "John Chinaman's" point of view, is divorced from nature but un reclaimed

A correspondent hears on good authority that the coming Navy Estimates will provide for battleships aggregating 17,000 tons; and the secondary armament, instead of being all 6in. quick firing guns, as has hitherto been the case, will include a new 7's quick-firing gun. To show the full significance of the changes, it may be stated that the largest existing vessel is a Japanese battleship of $5,000 tons, while the Amaricans propose to build ships of 15.300" tons. The incrasse on the heaviest existing battleships in our own Navy will be 2,000 tons. It is calculated by the Admiralty that by the time the new ships are in commission the large docks now in course of construction át Gibral tar, Malia, and Hongkong will be available for their use, and they will have the advantage of Anderson, Miss M. the widened Suez Canal, with a uniform depth of thirty feet.
