OUR LONDON LETTER.

(From our olon Correspondent.)"

~LONDON, Örmher 78th

THE "CORRA" DISASTER.

Among white Canadians, the royal act`most- appreciated was the unexpected visit which

the Duke and Duchess paid to the Rev. Mr. Grant Warden of the Kingston University, who lay ill in the General Hospital of that. town. After chatting with Mr.. Grant a long as his strength allowed, the Duke handed him the C.M.G, decoration conferred by the King, and invited him to the Coronation ceremonies next year.

THE COMING CORONATION. Preparations for this great event are procced- The finding of the Cobra Court Martial, pub-ing steadily, and the King's life has been heavily ished yesterday, though nat-unexpected, is insured by the countless large firms who expect" causing a considerable stir, 'both in naval and to benefit financially by the rejoicings. The civilian circles, by reason of the severe censure premium (covering one year only) is £10 for on the Admiralty, implied in the second par each 1,000 policy and the companies are said

to be doing a very extensive business. At the " agraph of the verdict

time of the Diamond Jubilee the premium for the inmense insurances on the Queen's life then effected was £14, owing to Her Majesty's advanced age.

"(2) The Court also find that the Cebra was weaker than other destroyers, and in view of that fact it is to be regretted that she was pur. chased into His Majesty's Service."

While satisfaction is felt, that the memory of the gallant dead should be no less completely cleared than is the reputation of the only surviving officer-Chief Engineer Percey, to whom the President handed back his sword before the closing of the Court — there is a con

sensus of opinion that the parties guilty of neg. ligence or incompatence in passing the vessel as "fit" should be promptly called to account, It is manifestly unfair that while the smallest blunder in navigation or handling of a ship is, when proved, visited with public reprimand; an error causing terrible loss of life should be condoned, merely because the offender is attached to the land arm of the service. Any Admiralty official to whom a measure of responsibility is given, is no less a ser- vant of the nation than a sea-going officer, and should be liable to like pains and List of Registered Covers in Feste Restante. penalties. The difficulty in the Department is to fix responsibility. On board ship the duties of the various authorities are clearly defined, and it is not difficult for a court of naval men to determine within whose province any given ac- tion falls. But no such definiteness exists at the Central Office, with its mixed staff of sailors and civilians, and the consequence is that immense difficulty frequently arises in the location of liability. On this occasion, however, it seems obvious, at least to the layman that the tremendous responsibility of decid ing whether a vessel is, or is not fit to be accepted for His Majesty's Fleet, cannot have been entrusted to more than two or three naval experts at the most-and these men it is de- sired, should be required to render an account of their actions in this particular. The loss of the Cadra and the buckling of other destroyers, has aroused a general feeling of uneasiness as to the principle upon which this type of vessel is at present being constructed: if only to relieve this anxiety, the Admiralty will prob- ably be compelled to hold a further court of inquiry into the circumstances surrounding the acceptance of the Cobra, for the navy.

THE ARGYLL AND SUTHERLAND HIGH- LANDERS,

of which the 1st battalion formed part of the Hongkong garrison eight years ago, were honoured by the king yesterday,, A com- pany of the and battalion is, at present act- ing as guard of honour at Balmoral, and by command of His Majesty, the men of the regiment-twenty-six in number-home from the war, invalided or from other cause, were ordered to parade at the Castle.

The ceremony took place in the great square

outside the main entrance, and the King, with whom were the Queen, Princess, and royal children, presented ivar medals, and made a happy little speech of praise and welcome.

The Victorian Order, Fourth Class, was con ferred upon Major Mackenzie in command, and the regimental Sergeant-Major also received the

medal of the same order.

THE DUKE OF CORNWALL'S TOUR

is now rapidly drawing to a close. A fortnight to-morrow he is expected to arrive at Ports mouth, and a few days later there will be a State entrance into London. It is still doubtful whether the Duke will receive the title of Prince of Wales immediately on his return, or on the occasion of the Cornation, gossip inclines to the former date, but the official statement is, that the King has not yet arrived at any decision,

The Canadian portion of the Royal trip has been eminently successful, more so than that in any other colony-a circumstance perhaps partly due to the fact, that both the Duke and List of Registered Covers for Merchant Bhips. Duchess have enjoyed excellent health during 9.S. Achilles.......... Davies.

THE NEW COINAGE

is to be issued early in the year; the designs have been finished for some time, but the authorities maintain the strictest secrecy as to the new features which are to distinguish the various values. The gold and copper, coinage are not likely to be altered, except matter of the effigy and letter- in the ing, but is said that some changes will appear in the silver pieces." No double florins will be issued, and efforts are being made to do away with the five-shilling piece also, which, owing to its unwieldy size, has never been popular.

DR. MANSON

formerly of Hongkong, new Medical Adviser to the Colonial Office, yesterday addressed the London School of Tropical Medicine on the occasion of the opening of its third winter session. Dealing with the claim of the ordin ary hospital schools to give full training in every branch, he observed, "Those who have made a special study of tropical diseases regard such opinions as vamped up figments of the imagination.... The big mercantile firms recognize the value of the School of Tropical to supply thera Medicine, and ask with medical men." Special deputations

ask shortly,-Sir for greater funds: and Dr. Durham and P, T. Manson, to reside on Christmas Island in order to study beri-beri and other diseases. Dr. Manson remarked, that Germany was greatly' in advance of our own country in the matter. Whereas we pay the pathologists sent to the

tropics for study and experiment, "“mere pit- tances," the German doctors receive handsome salaries, and altogether in the investigation of tropical diseases, the expenditure of Germany, with her limited colonial area, is five times greater than that of Great Britain, mistress of so considerable a portion of the habitable equatorial regions. Sir Francis Lovell will visit Hong Kong amongst other places. £100,000 is still required if efficiency is to be attained, and the bulk of this sum must, in the nature of things, be raised from those who are, or have been residents of tropical countries.

AN AMERICAN VIEW OF CHINESE AFFAIRS, Mr. Jameson, an American Railway Engineer of Northern China, who endured most of the troubles last year, was passing through London yesterday. Interviewed by a reporter, he said that he regarded the extensive fortifications in process of erection in Peking, as probable causes of future trouble, because the Chinese would regard them as a sign of fear on the part of the Foreign Legations. Mr. Jameson then pointed out how this belief would re-act on those whites whose work compelled them to live in the in- terior, far away from the protection of the guns at the Capital.

"We who have the concessions, and have to work them, cannot carry fortresses with us, '. We shall be well treated by the officials. But what of the stray Chinaman who possesses a foreign rifle and is convinced of the inferiority of the foreigner and the fear of the foreigner's government for his own; what is to prevent him from taking a shot at the foreign devil in. the interior?" That the erection of forts at Pekin would necessarily affect the prestige of whites in China is an argument with cer-.. tainly requires further elaboration to become convincing-nor does it appear at first sight evident, why the fall in our prestige, if it took place, should influence the humble zative of the far inland, so much more than his official superiors, especially seeing that the former in Dine cases out of ten will have heard never a word about the Siege of the Legations or any subsequent events. Mr. Jameson, however, expresses an American point of view, and in London it has always been understood that the American representatives oppose Foreign fortis fications at Peking.
