The two points round which most controversy at present centres, are the arrangement regarding questions, and the transference of the Parliamentary half-day from Wednesday to Friday. To take the last matter first, it is urged that four.con; secutive late sittings make a greater physical demand on members, and House Officials than if a break midway is provided. Against this argument outsiders feel that a regular holiday from Friday to Monday, and if non-controver sial private business be in hand, occasionally from Thursday night to Monday, provides a remedy, but members are of course the best judges of the relative merits of the two rests. "Again the Whips are said to fear that Friday being a short day, and wholly given up to private bills,, it will be difficult to keep a sufficient number at the House to defeat any undesirable scheme that may be sprung upon the Assembly in the thin House, because the lazy men will leave town, and the

Great Britain appears to have lost in netun cash something running into six figures, through the inefficiency, or inexperience of those to whom this duty was entrusted, to say nothing of the indirect loss in blood and money which bad horsedesh and not enough of it, entailed ́all last year. To err is human. The Remount Department has not in the past prepared its officers, by systematic training, to cope with any sudden demand upon their skill and intelligence. Wherefore the great lesson would appear to be that the Department bestir itself to put its important work upon a proper basis, that there may be no

This week for the first time. since the death of the late Queen, the King gratified his

love for the drama by privately visiting the Lyric and Daly's theatres, where he witnessed "Mice and Men," and "A Country Girl," respectively. Although both these pieces are. favourably received, the play attracting most attention at present is Pilkerton's Peerage" of which Anthony Hope is the author. Though entitled 'a Comedy' the piece is really a political parody dealing with the bestowal of honours. Unlike most produc tions of the kind, there is no malice, no pointed sarcasm, no. bitterness in the jesting, the ar- rangements which hinge the concerns of the Empire on the love affairs of the minister's secretary, are manifestedly ridiculous, and yet from first to last the play is an admirable piece of fooling. Mr. Hope has certainly added to his repute as a playwright in "Pilkerton's Peerage."

The papers relating to the Dutch overture will be produced in Parliament on Tuesday, Expectation of any immediate result, from the negotiations is already half extinguished.
