THE PHILIPPINES.

For the new big naval Station at Subig ay Congress will be asked for ja preliminary sum of $3,000,000 in build a dry dock, which is to cost over $1,000,0co, and shops and machinery $4,000,000 more.

The Government has Įdecided to reduce the army in the Philippines to 40,000 men.

Official reports received in Washington from Manila indicate a total collapse of organised rebellion in the Philippines. Several "despat ches have reached the War Department announcing the surrender of prominent Filipino headers, the most notable being General Tile and bis entire cumjaand. He held Northern Luzon, which 'General M'Arthur says is now completely pacified. Another surrender is that of Quentin Sali, in Hoilo, thus largely ensur- ing the pacification of Panay.

War Secretary Reet has cabled orders to General M'Arthur to capecite the reduction of the army in the Philippines, General Chaffee is to succeed to the command at Manila next manth, and the American troops who have been in China will serve in the Philippines for a short period before returning home..

Mr. H.

Viscoun: Cranborne: The answer to the first question is in the negative. As to the second and third questions, some of the British troops Tientsin, Wei-hai-Wei, and Hongkong are being withdrawn. No reduction in the Shanghai garrison is in contemplation at present,

JAPANESE COAL.

30th.

Mr. Gerald Balfour stated, in reply to Mr. D. Thomas, that in 1900 the export of coal from Japan to British India was 516,746 tons; to China, 826,053 tons; and to Hongkong, $26, 163 tons. In 1899 the corresponding figures were: 295.197, 949,051, and 60,207 tons. He could not give figures for 1891 and 1895.

THE GARRISONING OF TROPICAL FORTRESSES.

Commons would have an opportunity of dis- 'cussing the amounts of the indemnities there claimed and the means proposed for raising

Viscount Cranbome: The method in which the money required to pay the indemnities can best be raised without seriously crippling the resources of China is under consideration, but Power, so far as we are aware, is in favour of no decision has yet been, arrived at.

Viscount Cranborne: No communication of this nature has been received by His Majes- 1y's Government either from the United States or the Chinese Government.

Mr. J. O'Kelly asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether the Anglo-German Agreement applied to Korea.

SECRET SOCIETIES IN CHINA. Mr. Hebert Roberts asked the Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whether the British Government had issued instructions as to the movement of troops necessary for deat ing with a possible outbreak in the district

referred in.

Viscount Cranborne: Our Consuls have re ported that vague rumours are cufrent as to possible disturbances, but nothing definite is mentioned. The officer commanding the British troops in China is kept fully informed on the subject.

THE CONDITION OF CHIMLA Mr. Dillon asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether in the districts of the province of Chilli occupied by the Allied. troops the 'disorder was so complete that even the neighbourhood of Peking was more unsafe now for the foreigner or Christian than at any time since the occupation; and whether, if this were so, the British Government would urge on the council of foreign Ministers the desir

The withdrawal of a portion of the Allied troops is in contemplation, and it is generally desired that a large reduction should take place as soon as the watch, and the wheels will be 50the Chinese Government have sufficently com- protected that no person can be injured thereby, plied with the more important demands of the or even sail bls clothing The wheel known as the balance wheel "will actually weigh a ton, whilst the so called hair spring "will be considerably thicker than a coiling pin.

Needless to say, the main spring of this extraordinary watch will be Three hundred feet will hard ly cover its length, and it will be made of ten spring steel bands, two incltes thick, bound together, as it would be impos- sible to roll so large a piece either in thickness or length. Finally, it may be said that the watch when finished will recline on its back, and will possess a polished metal case similar to ordinary watches of smaller dimensions, people will be able to walk within the moving wheels, and thus enjoy an entirely novel sen- sation. This attraction, certainly unique in the world's history, is intended to form one of the principal side shows at the forthcoming St. Louis Exhibition in 1903.

SIR ASHNEAD-BARTLETT AND THE BANKRUTCY NOTICE.

Solicitors' clerks who are sent by their em. ployers to serve notices on gentlemen ought to understand that there is a decent and an inde

Mr. Dillon asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether the Ambassadors of the Allied Powers in Peking had abandoned their demand for the beads of Prince Tuan and General Tung-fuh-Siang; if so, on what grounds that demand had been abandoned; and whether he could state where Prince Tuan and General Tung füh-Siang now were.

Viscount Cranborne: The Note addressed by the Representatives of the Powers to the Chinese Plenipotentiaries demanded for all those chiefly responsible for the outrages, including Prince Tuan and Tung-fuh-Siang, the severest punishment according to their crimes. Prince Tuan has been condemned to perpetual imprisonment in Turkestan. This sentence has been carried into effect, and an undertaking has been given that no commut ation of it is ever take place. This decision was in accordance with the views of the majority of Powers represented at Peking, Tung-fh-Siang has been banished to Kansu, there to await further punishment.

POSITION IN MANCHURIA, Mr. W. Redmond asked the Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether he could say what was the present position of affairs in Man 'churia, and whether any steps were to be taken in reference to the continued occupation of that territory.

NEW AIR-PURIFIER.

"A new ingenions process to improve un. healthful room air at once has recently been invented by a French physician," says The Scientific American, quoting from the Phar maceutische Post. "Similar to the well-known Scidlitz powders, he incloses a scent in two different papers, one of which contains white barium peroxid, which is saturated with per- fume in a concentrated form. This is first placed in tinfoil or oil paper. The other blue paper contains powdered potassium perman- ganate in the correct proportion, so that on mixing the two bodies together in a solution, oxygen is set free, which spreads the scent in the air and improves the bad air in the room. If the powder is to be used for disinfecting purposes the perfume.may, of course, be left out. For sick-rooms and wherever an opening of the windows is not desirable or impractic able, this new air-purifier will doubtless prove

of great value."

PLANTS UPSIDE DOWN.

Mr. W. Redmond, Mr. P. O'Brien, and Mr. Flavin endeavoured to put supplementary questions, but in each case the Speaker decided that the matter sought to be raised had no connection with the original question and Lord Cmnborne's reply.

Mr. W. Redmond asked the Under-Secretary. for Foreign Affairs whether the Chinese Govern ment had addressed a Note to the Powers in reference to Manchuria, and if so, what was proposed by China in this Note?

NAVAL AND MILITARY NOTES.

Vice Admiral Sir. Cyprian Bridge on 6th ult." had an audience of His Majesty upon his ap pointment as Commander-in-Chief in China.

A relief detachment of 1,637 German marines, including 74 officers, was despatched from Bremerhaven on 5th ult., on board the North German Lloyd steamer Rhein, for service in the German East Asiatic squadron.*

In recognition of services rendered in the military operations against the Chinese, Major General Stocsset has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant-general, while Lieut-General. Baron Kaulbars has received the Alexander Nevsky Order with swords.

built at Toulon for the Russian navy, is ex- The new criser Baiane, which has been

pected to arrive Cronstadt during the sura- iner. In the autonin she is to be sent to the Far East to reinforce the squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Skṛydlof.

The German second-class cruiser Ariadne, which has been built in the Weser Yard, is

destined for the East Asinn Station, and after its trips and the completion of its armament it will set sail for China during the summer, where she will relieve the Irene, which has been six years on the station

Four battleships ought to be speedily added to the effective strength of the British fleet. The Albion, the last of the Canopus group to be completed, with the exception of the Fin geance, it is said, is to go, to the China station to relieve the Barfleur." "This would mean that, the Canopus would not proceed, as was report- ed and believed would be the case three months ago.

"Concerning a possible conflict between Russia and Japan, naval and military experts in Russia would appear, so far as their opinions are known, to take a seriously respectful and decidedly apprehensive view of Japan's offen- sive power in case of an armed collision between the two Powers. Perhaps this view has been brought about by the pairs ouma those officers who were with the relief column for Peking. It was generally said then that the Russians placed a much higher value on the powers of the Japanese army than they had done previously,

The following appointments have been made at the Admiralty-Captain-R. H. S. Stokes, to the Eclipse, to date May c; Lieutenant D. Fulton (INR), to the Ocean, for twelve months' training, to date May 17.

Herr von Jaski, the German Naval Architect, states that the water-tube boiler systems of Schulz and Dürr, which have been introduced into the German Navy, have stood the tests much better than any other system; and that all, the German, gunboats and small cruisers will probably be re-fitted with Dürr boilers, and the battleships with cylinder and Schutz boilers.

There is a good deal of talk about German submarine or submersible-boats, and the surroundings are of such a character that the Admiralty will doubtless, take care that it obtains the necessary information as to the proceedings of our Teutonic neighbours. The proposed long voyage of a French "submarine" will also be watched with interest. For the present no great attention need be paid to the statement that this country is purchasing additional submarine boats in America. The five vessels of this type for which the estimates are already responsible will probably meet all needs. It has been said already that the Version people were busy with a scheme for the destruction of these submarine craft, and though nothing is allowed to transpire it is pretty well certain that the idea is that their stability below the water is so uncertain that any submarine explosion in their neighbour. hond will suffice to capsize them. The methods of the application of this idea remain to be seen, because it is obvious that the position of submarine bont at any given moment is an unknown quantity.-L. & C. Bapress, May toth..
