COLONEL E. Cotter has lectured at the United Service Institution on "Coast Defence from an Imperial Standprint." Admiral Cluse, who took part in the sub-equent discussion, said he was astonished at the want of proper defences in the Thaines. If Germany declared war one day they could have a couple of gunboats up the river to the middle of Londou the next night. London, would never be safe until they had a Tientsin on the 31st March, 1904 couple of such craft stationed in the river.

:
In the shut-in Chinese quarters prevailing in San Francisco and elsewhere, there must be a good many offences committed amongst the enormous Chinese population which never come to light, and the existence of organisa tions which have to hide from the light of day, would naturally tend to encourage such.
Under these circumstances the at present tentative proposal to banish these men, will it is to be hoped be turned into actual execution, und it appears their examination before the Executive Council has taken place. It would seem that these Societies have existed for the past five or ten years, and many of their members are old Chinese residents here, though naturally they do not number any prominent citizens amongst them, unless the prominence te in a criminal direction. The names of a number of the men have been already published and the rest will probably follow in due course. They are mainly Kwang si Kehs, and Taichew men. It may interest those of a tender disposition, who have been fed on the horrors of the "Chest of Opium" and other weird China "Coasters," to learn that a humanitarian British Government does not go

Account, ultimately were plunder, and whose modus operandi was to send its member, on huard the coasting steamers to break open the boxes of travellers, who were generally garrotted and dropped overboard if they protested. This organisa ion had agents at Hongkong, Singa pore, Malacca, and Penang and so bold did they become, that detectives were specially sent on board the ships by the steamer agents, to catch them. Eventually after an infinity of trouble, as some who were concerned in the matter will still remember, the Society was broken up.
