:r_I-¥"-QVO: 4_ OCS LONDON LETIEU | I [From Our Special Correspondent.j I ———— j Interesting eyen is are takin,g place every I day at Westminster, and perhaps Hie -most significant of all the moves which have been m'de in the great poli;ieal gavae since it I began a mouth ago is the decisior of the Government to vote Supply for -wly six weelcs ijiF.ie.id of five months. According to the point of view from which this mov- is rega:aed by politicians, it is either very wise and very clever, or exceedingly shabby and mean. Many conclusions have been ¡ drawn from it, and I may mention the opinion of Sir Henry Lucy, who wa-lclud evfirv move in the game of politics for forty years. In an article in a Sunday journal the veteran Parliamentary iournalist sars the meaning of the Government's tactics is that they arc going to resign and to leave their successors to find money for ihem- selves. In spite of the statements made by certain speakers to the effect that there is no reason why the Government should not hold on for a year, or even a couple, there is a fairly general feeling that a General Elec- tion is a certainty for the early summer, and I members who hold their seats by small majorities are feeling somewhat anxious, while those whose banking accounts are on the slender side are much disquieted at 11H, prospect of having to pay two big bills for election expenses within six months or so. These latter take some comfort from the very evident fact that no party is positively crazy for another election just yet. Nobody is very much surprised that the Naval Estimates are this year increased by something like six millions, though there ar I plenty who protest against what is called th? "ruinous competition in armameHts." It is certainly a curious thing that in these I days of ententes cord tales and the growing good feeling between the nations of the world of which we hear so much that the ex- penditure upon ships of war should be con- stantly mounting upwards, and that our I part in the competition should cost us nearly forty-one millions for a single Most of us are peacefuly inclined, and this i a matter for very sincere regret, but the I naval expenditure of other nations leaves us no alternative, apparently. We are, at any rate, not so badly off as we might have been. The expenditure for the ensuing twelve months is to be very nearly the same as it I was in 1904, when France and Russia were our rivals for sea power. Then came in the [ reform policy initiated by the Admiralty, I which most people agree gave us a more I efficient fleet for less money. But for that I policy of reform it is stated that we might have had to foot a bill this year for a cool fiftv milliona. Tliere is at least some con- solation in that reflection. It is not so long ago that an eminent man was saying that nobody could do good work after sixty years of age, and that those who had reached that limit ought to be gently but firmly pushed off the stage. Yet here is Lord Halsbury, who has passed the three score by a quarter of a century, presiding over the Court of Appeal, showing a vigour and an intellectual grasp, and disposing of cases with a rapidity and thoroughness which astonish his "learned brethren" in the law, and all onlookers. Some men may be "too old at sixty," but the ex-Lord Chan- cellor is certainly wonderfully youthful at eighty-five. He was already prominent at the Bar long before many famous lawyers of to-day were born, and he has outlived all those with whom he fought great battles in the courts, and many of the judges whom he appointed. Since he became Lord Chancellor, —which great position he held for nearly twenty years-he has seen three Chief Jus- tices and six Masters of the Rolls in and out of office. And he is still able to do a hard day's work in the courts, and to do it like the great lawyer he is. It was during his Lord Chancellorship that Lord Halsbury was the occasion of one of the finest specimens of mixed metaphor ever heard in the House of Commons. The annual protest was being made against the Sessional Order (now abolished) prohibiting peers from taking part in elections, and a speaker stated that the Lord Chancellor had spoken in favour of a Conservative candidate on the very eve of the election. Sir (William Hart-Dyke, re- marking upon this, said the hon. member had "certainly gone to the top of the tree and caught a very large fish." Age and experience count for a very great deal on the Bench, but in the Army it is a different story. It is youth that is wanted there, and Mr. Haldane, during the discus- sion on the Army, caused some astonishment by suggesting that men are "old and stiff" at twenty-seven or so. The age' limit varies with the occupation. Professional men "too old at sixty," shop assistants "too old at forty," and soldiers "too old at twenty- seven." The last certainly appears to be a little absurd. Most of us at twenty-seven think that our golden youth is but little tar- nished, and that there are a good many years of activity before us. Mr. Haldanc's "twenties" lip far back im the years, but it is not long since he himself took a walk to Brighton from Whitehall for the fun of it, And he could do a good day's marching with the Territorials still. No doubt, however, he is right to a large extent. The best men for the Army are very young men. It seems to be clear that there will be a substantial Municipal Reform majority on the London County Council, in spite of the fact that at the election that party secured a majority of only two over the Progressives. As at first announced there was actually a tie, but a recount gave the Municipal Re- form candidate for one of the Finsbury ,seats a majority of one vote. That a good deal may turn upon one vote is now being j erwida Tktfc aSMta mm on a Wpapg '¡; .v..o;¡:< -C"#H_ for the B-f». ) formers to lect a chairman frür; • ,1- stead of on :,dl{ the €ot:ncil, aur >4 iuis to t:ie aldermanic Uv for tires "is means they v.il p"t theiraseh• .« -a.'i- tial majority.

At the same time they will have to do great things to beat Mr. Sydney Buxton's record. The late Postmaster-General introduced many improvements, all of which tended to make the Post Office more popular and more suc- cessful as a commercial concern. Some of the more important of these have been the American Penny Post, the simplification and extension of the half-penny post, the reduc- tion of rates on literature for the blind, the raising of the unit of weight that could be sent to the Colonies for a penny, the nduc- tion of postage on magazines sent to Canada, and the introduction of the "cash on delivery" system, which enables a cus- tomer in the Colonies to pay the postman on delivery for goods received from this oountry.

DEATH IN THE RING. —— At the inquest on "Curly" Watson, a boxer, who died after a boxing contest at Wonder- land, on Batu; day night, at Stepney, the doctor said the cause of death was heart failure, caused by compression of the brain, resulting from an effusion of blood from a lacerated artery. The latter cott'd have been produced by a blow or by a simple fall. After, other evidence, hi auk Inglis, a native of West Indies, who was Watson's opponent, said he was tired at the beginning of the tenth round. He struck Watson on the body, and "Curly" fell to the ground. IngHs did not have much strength left, and he thought he was in the attitude of striking Watson when I (the later fell, his cllmluttlllg the floor. Watson I was carried out •imecm<ci<>uts. The jnry said the. fight was a legitimate sparr ing contest, and very fairly conducted. A verdict of "Accidental death was returned, and the jury recommended that a doctor should be in attend:mee and examine boxers before contests of eight or more rounds. The manager of Wonderland said this arrangement had been made. <*» ——-

BEQUESTS TO COCKATOO. 5fts. Peters, of The Grange, Klilburn, who died on February 5, leaving estate valued at £ 21,924 gross, bequeathed £1,000 to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals, jCIOO to tlie National Canine Defence League, EIOO to the Anti-Vivisection Hospital, £ 100 to her coachman, Henry Brown, together with £1 a week to provide for a home and the maintenance of her dog, Nellie (fSudl pay- ments to cease on the death of the dog), and £100 to her servant Nellie Edmonds, together with £ 1 a week to provide for a home and the maintenance of her fox-terrier, "Rosie." and lier cockatoo, such. payments to on the death of the survivor of the terrier or the cockatoo- Having regard to the longevity of cockatoos, the annuity on the life of th" bird will prob- ably be expensive, for though the annuity is payable during the life of either the do or the cockatoo, there is little doubt that the bird will be the survivor, and that the annuity will have to be calculated on the expectations of the bird's life. the bird's life.

.r_V' -.¥- I HORSES FOR N011iHHl. í ,<> WAR OFFICE SCHEME. j During debates on the Army Votes m the House of Commons prominence was given to the subject of the shortage of horses for the- Army, and to schemes adopted by the War I Office—partly in association with the Depart- ment of Agriculture—with the object of im- proving the supply. I The boarding-out of horses forms part of these schemes. Last year 200 horses were boarded out, and it is intended to buy a larger number this year, and deal with them in a similar manner. A War Office circular explains the condi- tions under which young and suitable horsed are boarded out. The conditions of allot- ment provide that the horse shall remain the property of the Crown, but the allottee shall properly feed and care for it, and keep it I suitably shod at his own expense, being- allowed to use it for any legitimate purpose, riding or draught, exefept that it must not be used for carting heavy loads, for ploughing, or for any other work which the command- ing officer may deem likely to interfere with its military efficiency; and it must not be. let out on hire. If required, the allottee shall place the horse at the disposal of the military autho- rities for a period of not more than a month each year for military training, subject however, to not loss than fourteen days notice being given. The horse shall be given up to the military authorities at any time if claimed for mobiboation purposes, or if in the opinion of the officer commanding it is not keeping in good conditiori, or is no longer suitable for military requirements.

BURGLAR IN A BEDROOM. A strange story was told when Richard and Thomas Ridge were charged with burglary and with stealing jewellery, the property of the licensee of the Kimberjey ArmEl public-house, Longton. Mise Gertrude Plant, daughter of the licensee, said that on the night of the I burglary she was awakened by someone walking in her bedroom. The gas wa# ¡ alight, and he saw a man in brown cap and dark overcoat searching the drawers. She did not raise an alarm at first, because she was afraid. The man took a watch, and then went into the servant's room. Mrs. Plant, the mother of the girl, said that upon being alarmed by her daughter at half-past three in the morning, she ran for assistance. Seeing the prisoner Thoinas Ridge, who lived close by, she invited him in, and the other prisoner also came along. They lighted a fire for her, but before the arrival of the police they went away. The occurrence so unnerved .jtne$s'. daughter that for several nights aftcrwardw Thomas Ridge remained in the house, but whenever he met her daughter or the ser- vant they were afraid and said that, when wearing his brown cap and dark overcoat, he looked exactly like the man who entered: t their bedroom.. Prisoners were arrested later, and it was stated that in their lxdroom was found a chisel which exactly fitted marks on a cash- box broken open at the Kimberley Arms. Prisoners were committed for trial. "—-

CAPITALIST PENSIONERS. In his report on the Civil Service Appro- priation Accounts, the Comptroller and Auditor-General makes some remarks on cases in which claimants in possession of considerable sums of money were not dis- qualified for old-age pensions. Under Section 4 of the Act the yearly in- tcome which might be erpccfed to be derived from property capable of investment or pro- fitable use, but not invested or profitably used, is to be included in calculating ineajis, A favourite method of dealing with savings, especially in Ireland, appears to be to place them on deposit at a lo. al bank, and caae# have come under notice in which ciftiuianta have had sunns varying from X-900 to £ 600 so placed. An instance is quoted by the Comptroller -of a claimant with a fixed income of £ 20 168.. por annum, plus E600 on deposit at 1 t per cent., making his total income £ 29 16s.— who was granted a pension of 2s. a week. Art increase of 1 per cent. in the rate of intere alowed on his deposit would render him in- eligible for pension. The placing of money on deposit at eo low a rate of interest as 1 per cent. or 1-1 per cent., he adds, scarcely seems to fulfil the intention of the Act thafc property should be invested or profitably used.

THEATRE BURNT DOWN. The Crewe Opera House, one of the finest theatre buildings in the provinces, has been totally destroyed by fire. Just after midnight the manager, Mr. Ambrose Fisher, when, about to leave with his wife, perceived a smell of burning, and found that one of the dressing-rooms under- neath the stage wae on fire. He made A, rush for the theatre fire appliances, but was overcome by smoke. Recovering, he made & plucky effort to reach the hydrant, but the, flames by this time were beginning to ragov furiously, and Mr. Fisher was rendered un- conscious, and had not assistance arrived immediately he must have perished. The property on the stage was of a very* combustible character, and the wings and acenery were in a remarkably short space of time completely destroyed. The asbestos safety curtain collapsed, and the flames then shot through the roof and into the audi- torium. The circle fell bodily iiiito the pit, and the galleries came down. and the whole of the interior was speedily gutted. All the fire ibrigades could do was to save the adjoining property, and the fire practic- ally burnt itself out. Nothing in the build., ing was saved.
