LATER.

The India Budget, and the case of the Ninth- Lancers, The India budget is now before the House of Commons.

:

.Colonci Hon. H. Legge, M.P. for St Georges, Hanover Square, introduced the case of the Ninth Lancers. Lord George Hamilton replying, said that the action taken was disciplinary, and authorized by the highest military personages' in India. He defended the infliction of collective punish ment, and read a telegram from the Govern ment of India slowing the result of collec tive punishment. The commander of the Lancers had stated that the identity of the culprits was reasonably suspected; but the evidence was insufficient to convict.

Lord George Hamilton further said that our success in ruling coloured races was due to the fact that we established perfect equality between the races before the law, and much as he valued the reputation of the Ninth Lancers, be valued the credit of the army and the reputation of the government more. He would unhesitatingly support Lord Curzon,in bringing the culprits to justice.

Mr. Arnold-Forster: The Terrible left Hong- kong on July 29, and arrived at Portsmouth on Sept. 11, occupying si days on the voyage, of which 34 were sleaming days, the remaining -17 being spent in harbour. The amount of coal consumed on the voyage, was 8,670 tons, of which 7,466 tons were consumed when under way. On her last full speed

trial in July, 1901, she developed 24,693 horse- power, for four hours. No full speed trial has been made, since that date. It is doubtful whether the ship can now maintain her designs el speed for any length of time as her boilders, engines, and auxiliary machinery require exten sive repairs, such as may be expected at the close of a long commission.

By this means, any news of a break- down can easily be communicated all along the line from one ship to another; and The Chinese gunboat.
