Suicide of General Sir Hector Macdonald.
It is officially stated that General Sir Hector Macdonald shot himself this after- noon in a Paris Hotel.
[Major-General Sir Vector MacDonald, C., D.5.0., was an officer of extreme pape larity and witli a remarkable history. Begin. ning life as a draper's assistant he enlisted in the ranks and was soon on the road to success. He scored in the Afghan war of 1879.80, and accompanied Sir F. (now Lord) Roberts on his march to Cabul winning by superb bravery rank after rank. He was present at the battle of Kandahar, and afterwards served in the Boer war in 1881 where, at stajuba, his bravery won his life at the hands of the enemy. He was Garrison-Adjutant at Asscout (Upper Egyp) in 1885, and was in the Soudn during the Egyptian operations of 1881-91. In 1866 he took command of the and. Infantry Brigade under Sir H. (now Lord) Kitchener, and in 1897-8 caminanded Egypt an Brigades, being prevent at the battles of Atbara and of Khar tonm, sharing in the Sirdar's victory at Omdu:man, where he commanded the 1st Egyptian Brigde and showed admirable generalship. He was appointed-aide-de-camp to the late Queen in 1898. While acting as Brigadier-General commanding at Umball (India) he was summoned to take command of the Household Brigade, under lord Me thuen, in succession to General Wauchope, and the appointment of "Fighing Mac' as he was called was hailed with satisfac tion by the Brigade. Coming to recent times, as we pointed out in our issue of the 9th tastan, Sir Hector left Nuwara Fila on the evering of the 18th ult for Colombo and sailed immediately for England. An official communique published on Saturday states that is Ex ellency the Governor himself granted 8r Hector Mac- donald leave on very urgent private affairs in anticipation of War Office sanct on---Ed.

The essayist for the occasion was Rey G, H. McNeur, who is the first missionary of the New Zealand Presbyterian Church to Canton. It is the purpose of the New Zealand Church to organize what is to be known as the Canton Village Mission," New missionaries are expected next October. The field which the 'new mission expects to occupy is the Upper Pun U district. This district though near Canton has not received much attention from the missions already established and is one of the most unfriendly sections of the "province.
Mr. McNeur took for the subject of his Immigrants" The essay was an interesting essay "New Zealand, her Chinese and Other one and replete with information. animal from the mouse up to the Governor is Every an immigrant," said the essayist, Then fol. lowed a brief sketch of the island and its inhabitants.

THE TERRIBLE" AND THE "POWERFUL"
During the debate on the Address in the House of Commons on zoth ult. Sir W. Allan moved an amendment expressing regret that mention is not made in the King's Speech at the unsatisfactory condition of the Navy. In the course of some rather ra h criticisms he 678.45 said that the lowerful, which was designed to steam 22 knots, was already done for; she was scrap iron. He was not exaggerating when he said that that vessel on her voyage home consomed all the spare coal stored at Singapore and Columbo. (Laughter.) As to the Terrible, she took nine months to get from Wei-lti-wei to Hongkong, (Laughter.), Mr. 56,687-28 Arnold-Forster, in replying, said that sir W. Allan had compared the Aurik and the Restin most favourably with the Powerful and having been on board both the Russian ships, the Terrible, but he (Mr. Arnold-Forster), could only say, "Heaven help the men at their unprotected guns if they fought with vessels like the Terrible and the Powerful."

PUBLIC AUCTION.
to Sell by PUBLIC AUCTION, FOR ACCOUNT OF THE CONCERNED, on
Glancing over the Manchester Dispatch onc day this week I came upon a letter from a candid friend of yours: give it without com letter briefly thus: A gentleman who has been meat. The paper mentioned introduced the travelling in the Far East for the last three years for the purpose of studying our Imperial position, writes from Hongkong as follows on the subject of diplomaticand consularefficiency in China and Japan A socially nice man is not the kind of minister one wants out here just now. On ite contrary, one wants rather n for his country, and if there is no apparent crop man who thinks only of how to take advantages THE Undersigned have received instructions of such, to create them, I do not see the use of paying for nothing. It seems to me to sit still waiting for something to turn up. When it does turn up we have the worst of it owing to ignorance. That is where I admire the Russians, corupt though they be. Their con sals are always on the lookout for the interests particularly a political service affair, that is to of their country. The Chino-Russian Bank is say, the agents are invariably deep-thinking, observant people, reporting continually Do trade or anything else of vaule in the way of information that they know. They entertain thore from whom information can be got. What does our great Eastern bank (Hongkong and Shanghai) entertain? A cricketing team or sammeting of that kind. I have never met an agent cast of Singapore who did think more. of "cocktails" than of anything else."

The L. & C. Express, of the 27th ult., says: By the last mail received from Hongkong we had the report of the meeting of the C: m- niittee of the Chamber of Commerce called to consider the Currency Question. The Com mittee had met to decide on the request of the Singapore Chamber for common action at the present time. A similar request was preferred in 1897, at a time when the Singapore Chamber had announced its opinion in favour of a gold standard. The Hongkong Committee again decided, as in 1897, that the circumstances of the colonies were totally different, and that whilst China remained on a silver basis Hong- kong must perforce do likewise. It was also decided not to call a special general meeting unless such was requisitioned by the members. Apparently this has since been done, and a re- solution passed requesting that the Straits Cur. tency Commission should extend the scope of its inquiry so as to covet Hongkong. This Com mission, however, is on the point of concluding its fabours, and it would probably be neces ary
