NAVY'S RESPONSIBILITY.

LONDON, 19th November. The Standard states that the Government is considering a plan for concentrating the naval and military strength of the Empire, which includes the withdrawal of Regular Infantry from the small coaling stations, such as Mauritius, Ceylon, and Singapore, and the increase of the responsibility of the navy and of the local defence forces for these skill, not to say agil ty.

stations. The Mediterranean stations will remain as at present. The mounted forces will be withdrawn from the British garrison in Egypt, which will probably become a Colonel's command. By this plan several millions will be saved for the Home army, in which two years' service with the colours will be gradually introduced. The absorp tion of the Militia will not be attempted for

a year.

LATER.

Germany and Great Britain. The representative of the Nineteenth Century has find a remarkable interview with Caunt von Buelow, in which the Count de- plores the hostility to, and the increasing suspicion of, Great Britain to Germany. He warmly denies that Germany has made any attempts to incite Russia against Great Britain in connection with Tibet, or the

• Baltic fleet incident, and repudiates the sug gestion that Germany has attempted to tam. per with the Anglo-French friendship; such blundering intrigues ascribed to Germany could have no effect on the sincerity of an entente such as this. The Count energeti- cally rejects the allegation that Germany is preparing for a naval war against England, which would be a monstrous crime and one which would completely destroy German, and partially destroy British trade, benefiting only our rivals who would proceed to capture the Anglo-German markets without firing a shot.

Now, amongst the official class, who is not anxious to be a good public servant? Yet those of good and widespread repute are hardly to be met. The reason, how ever, is not simply that of avarice combined with harshness, but is to be found in their not being in close contact with, or diligent on behall of the people. Absence of close con- tact causes official business to be placed in the hands of underlings; want of cate will, information à copy of a telegrare which this the end, result in the people suffering injustice. Excellency the Governor addressed to the Inside the yamea are servants and their Secretary of State for the Colonies with the friends, outside are writers and underlings: eply received thereto respecting the attitude

Petitions may be presented on one of the fixed days, or by arresting the atten tion of the official himself, or by means of a yamên servant; the scale of fees for these varies considerably. Even in

of ordinary arrest, three, four or more con- stables are sent by the magistrate; after receiving their warrant the plaintiff has to defray their travelling expenses, and the defendant fees so as to obtain a delay. In going into the country, they travel by chair, accompanied by scores of retainers; their aquceze may be anything from ten to a hundred dollars.

In serions cases of murder or robbery with violence, there are examination fees, erection of sheds (in which the case is tried over the bady), and travelling expenses, if the case is tried in a different hsien to that of the magis trate presiding (paid by the criminal), the fees for which are still more heavy.

Relatives and neighbours are dragged in; it is not one family only that suffers. And all this results from simple litigation,

officers in the Russian service, and the man of all others lens! likely to be blinded by panig or to lose his head in an emergency, however critical. Moreover, his proved personal cour- age and coolness are characteristics little in harmony with the perpetration of a singularly cowardly courage, It will have been noted that in M. Sazenow's official statement emphasis was laid on the point that the Admiral undoubtedly was not responsible for the order to fire being given, as he had gone in the first part of the fleet.' That ships under Rothdestvensky's command should have got completely out of hand seems, from the Russian point of view, to be the mos: inexplicable feature in an inexplicable incident.

That under the command of an officer trained in the scientific methods of his profession, and one whe, unlike most Russian naval officers, has actual experience of naval warfare to his credit, and, personally, a man of proved coul headedness in the face of danger, such a disaster should have occurred, should be the bitterest blow to his countrymen. "One thing you may be certain of," said a Russian gentleman who had known the Admiral when he was attacked

If the officials would but exercise a little control over their underlings, how could the people suffer like this? Surely it is not that all officials are ignorant, or is it that they know and connive at it? As a matter of fact the common people with aching beads and sad hearts can only blame their rulers. How can the officials take pleasure in screening their underlings and sacrificing their own fair name? I, the Governor, have given much thought how to reform this degenerate practice.
