OUR DOCKYARD EFFICIENCY.

If the present crisis in the North deve lops into anything more serious than mere negotiations, and Great Britain finds herself involved, as the ally of Japan, it will be satisfactory to know that the ntost effici ent arm of defence in our Naval service will not be found wanting in any emergency. Tests by way of ascertaining within how short a period of time the provisioning and ammunitioning of our large fleet in these WHISKY.waters can be sucessfully accomplished,

land, separate from the ank's own specie reserve, and under the control of the London clearing bankers. In times of financial stress, when the reserve of the Bank of England dropped below danger point, the "Bankers' Gold Fund" would be temporarily drawn upon to make good the Bank's reserve. Mr. Triton thinks the fund could be obtained if each bank in the kingdom increased its puid-rp capita! by 20 per cent, and devoted the proceeds of the new capital to purchase of gold for this

purpose.

Macao, 15th December. THE CHARITY BAZAAK. The Charity Bazaar to be held on Boxing Day and the 27th nst. and prom ted by the officials and the elite of Macao, in ald of the schools under the Sisters of Charity, promises to be a big success. The indefatigable hono rary secretary, Mr. A. J. Basto, Jr., is working liking a Trojan in so deserving a cause asthat of charity. He is well seconded by an energe tic committee who are sparing no trouble and pains in their co-operation to make the fêle as great an attraction as possible. The Govern- ment has kindly placed the Public Gardens at ment; for nearly all of them had gone to in-

were lowed alongside the ships of the fleet where they at once began to discharge their cargoes, the work being carried on with the same appearance of urgency. The state of affairs, in fact, resembled what would probably occur in time of war or, at any rate, on the receipt of very grave and critical news; but though appearances are rather strange, we are able to state positively to our readers that this alarming aspect of activity in the feet and dockyard is nothing more than an expe- riment to test the resources of the various departments in the Naval Yard in case emergency should arise. At the same time, it must be admitted that the movement has every appearance of realism. That the

Director of Public Works (Mr. A. Abreu Nunes) on the Comin'itec, it goes without saying that the gardens will be very tastefully laid out, In addition to the usual stalls attended by the indies for the sale of toys, refreshments, flowers, etc., and the customary lottery booths, there will be a miniature exhibition stand as a special feature of the show. Firms in Hongkong will be asked to assist. An endeavour is being made to charter one of the fine steamers of the longkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Co. to run a special excursion trip for the con- venience of Hongkong visitors. In view of the fête being promoted with a purely charitable object, it is hoped that the directors of the Steamboat Company will see their way to grant the charter of a first-class boat on easy terms. I hear that the Press of your Colony will be asked to render assistance and by publicity in the widely read columns of the daily papers invite attention to the function which so many are co-operating

in making it a distinct success.

FROM the offices of the Hongkong Daily Preis we have to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of a copy of the Directory of Protestant Mis sionaries in China, Japan and Corea, for the year 1904.

A CONCERT will be given, under the auspices of the Hongkong Volunteer Corps, at be Theatre Royal on Saturday, the 6th January next, at 9 p.m. The entertainment will consist of a concert of about nine or ten items followed by a farce called Ticklish Timus.

THE French Minister for War, General André, has wired to the authorities. in Tonking in flicting a punishment of 60 days" confinement in a fortress on the medical officer in charge of the hospital in Haiphong, for having coun- tenanced the neglectful diagnosis of a soldier suffering from tuberculosis. The colonelin command of the regiment, in which the man was serving, has been placed under arrest for a period of thiny days.

DR. Nelden, of New York, who advertised offering £1,000 for an ear, has been visited by over 400 people ready to submit to amputation.

The subject being chosen, I shall make, a half amputa- tion of the car from the top, twist it round, and sew it to the head of the patient. The these two must be somewhat closely associated for seven days, during which period it is hoped that the grafting process will take place suffi- ciently for us to sever the other half and sew it catirely on rasm

On the subject of official recognition, I am pleased to note that the French Government has, though tardily bat better than never,' realised what a zealous honorary official they have had all these years in their honorary vice- consul, Mr. A.

French interests, within his own sphere, have been protected and promoted by this official in a manner which could not have been more efficiently and energetically done had Mr. Basto been allowed the usual honoratium and entertainment fees.

SILVER IN 1902.

The following interesting paragraph on "Silver in 1932" is extracted from the Ghicago Chronicle:--.

The director of the mint has issued a report showing the commercial and the coinage value of silver bullion produced in this country dur |ing the year: 1902, from which it appears that Mr. Bryan's enterprise in promotion and flota- tion is becoming more and more attractive to the bonanza mine owners.The figures, which might be used in a prospectus by Mr. Bryan, are as follows: Ounces produced.....mind.

Mr. R. H. P. Mfterall,

The forty-eighth annual regatta of the Vic- tori Recreation Club was, for its opening day, not favoured with the weather either seasonable or worthy of the occasion. The morning brake dar and threatening, a heavy dense fog laying over the harbour, and at 8 am. a somewhat heavy downpour of rain occurred which threa- tered to jeopardise the success of this popular aquatic fête, Bowever, towards 9 a.m., things looked more promising, and an occasional streak of blue and a flash of sunlight were visible from time to time in the east. Towards aan, the weather cleared and the sun came out in all its glory, the temperature rising rapidly till it was almost too warm to be plea sant. The Committee had made the usual excellent arringements for the comfort of their guests, tiffin and refreshments being served on the flagship Brilliant, a fine four-masted sail. ing ship, kindly lent for the occasion by Captain G, Cowlish law. Mr. Dixon of the Dock Co. courteously placed the tug Fame at the disposal of the organisers for the conveyance of visitors, and the excellent band of the 110th Mahratta Light Infantry was graciously allowed to assist by permission of Lt. Colonci Birdwood and the officers of that regiment.

The flugship was spick and span and brilliantly bedecked with bunting, and her hospitable captain received the committee and Press as they went aboard shortly after midday, On n'table, placed on the poop, the prizes were disposed, making a fine and tempting display, the handsome cups and other souvenirs speaking highly of the generosity of the donors. A signal party of sailors frem H.M.S. Glory was also in readiness. An excellent tiffip, provided by Mr. J. W. Osborne, of the Kow. loon Hotel, having been served to the visitors by the Committee, the programme of events was commenced. By this time the attendance was numerous, and many ladies were presen: to witness the triumphs of their relations or friends.

THE CHORAL FESTIVAL,

AT ST. JOHN'S CATHEDRAL. -

THE INTERNATIONAL IN- STITUTE FOR CHINA

The following letter or the above, subject has appeared in The Times, Standard, Morn ing Post, and other leadu London dai papers." Its publication will, it is hoped, ha

soine influence in arousing interest in a scher that should exercise a pensficial effect China and the Chinese :—;

Sir, Considerable progress hast been mada of late in China towards the formation of an International Institute for that country, Icheme which was thrown back, and somewhat into the background, as the result of the uns fortunate events in 1900-ot in the North-of- China. The moving spirit has been Dr. Gilbert U Reid, an American missionary, but the scheme, is entirely International in its objects and scope. It is nearly six years since the plan of estab. lishing an International Institute. in China as the embodiment of special work among the higher classes of Chinese' was definitely proš jected. The special aims of a mission among the higher classes' are, in brief, four:—(1), To benefit the whole country by influencing for good the influential class; (2) To promole through the same classes, greater friendliness - and harmony between China and foreign coun tries; (3) To advance enlightenment, froth,✅ righteousness, and reform, through mutual understandings, intercourse, and the co-oper tion of leading men in China and the West'; and (4) To show forth, in a refinite way, the best features of Christian civilisation, generosity, fair dealing, uprightness, and the general well- being of society.

The plan of the International. Institute, as directed especially to the higher classes, consists of six parts:(1) An International Museum or Exposition; (3) An International Library and Reading Room; (3) An International Club or -Social Hall; (4) A Lyceum or Public Lecture

Hall; (5) Class-rooms for instruction ; and (6); Literary work and such charitable work as It is no exaggeration to say that the chair of | might be deemed advisable or necessary, St. John's Cathedral, assisted by other ladies The original idea was that the site of the and gentlemen in the Colony, brought off a | Institute should be in Peking, The events of magnificent performance of Mendelssohn's 1900, and subsequently, seemed, however, to Hymn of Praise, We have, to the best of our point to Shanghai being a better location). recollection, never heard any choral festival The transfere. ce was, therefore, made, and a chorus sing so finely in Hongkong before, strong committee of leading Chinese and and the crowded congregation must have been foreigners was constituted.

Then the recitative (tener) of Mr. mainder is assured. G. H.

The solo (with chorus). The night is departing, was Taken by Mrs. Hagen, and her most élever and sweetly expressive rendering of the beautiful past was a rare treat. Messrs. Grimble and Ward' conducted amazingly well, with a knowledge that made always for satisfactory issues, while the chorus was loyal to the baton, and its devotion to the piece was a quality which one noted with particular satisfaction. Indeed, as we have already observed, the festival was n thorough success, and it is safe to say that on Tuesday next, the zand. iøst. at 5: p.m. when another opportunity is afforded of hear-" ing the performers, they may be assured of just as large an attendance and just as appre ciative a congregation.

The following formed the Chorus: Soprano: Mesdames Craddock, Hägen, Johnston, Lammert, Kew, Quinn, Seth, Wag- ner, Woodcock, Misses Murray Bain, Hance, Loureiro, Seth, Shaw, Weatherston, Masters W. Hager, R. Presley, F. Tyler, B. Tyler, A.' Godfrey, A. Martin, H. Fielding, Harvey.

Altos: Lady Meigh Goodman, Mesdames Dickson, Drayson, Gordon, Grimble, Piercy, Misses Goodman, Innes, Leykum.

In addition to the committee at Shanghai, committees have been formed in Great Britain, the United States, Germany," and Holland to assist in promoting the objects of the Institute, it is hoped that assistance can be obtained through these committees in raising funds for the necessary buildings and the endowment of the Institute. It is intended that there shall be a British director associated with Dr. Gilbert Reid, and any funds that may be forthcoming from British sources would be devoted, in part, towards his emolument-Yours faithfully,"
