DEPARTURE FROM HONGKONG.

Just before tiffin-time yesterday, the six American aviators who are on a flight around the world arrived in-Hongkong from Amoy, having covered the distance between the two ports in just over three hours. Flying very law, they made a striking picture as they came down the harbour from the direction of Lyecmun Passi, and all three planes very gracefully alighted on the stretch of water between Stonecutters and the Standard Oil tanks at Lai Chi Kok. The airmen ware warmly greeted us the planes took up their muorings. Above we give portraits of all six aviators. Lieut. Iqwell H. Smith (the flight leader) was in charge of No. 2 plane, having Lieut. Arnold ng bis 'assistant; Lieut. Leigh Wade piloted No. 3, with 2nd, Lieut. Ogden as assistant; whilst Lleut, Erle Nelson was in charge of No. 4, with 2nd Lieut. Harding as assistant. Below

It is understood that the President's message to Parliament, a draft of which he communicated to the prospectivo Cabinet Ministers this afternoon, declares that tho now majority's dotor- mination to cut short the seven-your tenure of the Presidency amounts to a coup de force and violation of the Constitution, Ho asks Parliament to stato by an unožjú¡vocal voto whether there aro sunctions for such a dangerous precedent, and asserts he has acted constitutionally throughout his presidentship.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Chamber will vote against M. Millorand, and it is expected a new President will be olocted by the National Assembly at Vorsaillos on Friday, and M. Herriot's Cabinet will thereupon be formed.
