Overhauling the Liners. The C.P.R. is going to overhaul its trans-Pacific liners at the beginning of the new year. The boats will be laid up at drydock at Hong Kong for renovation and repair. The Empress of Asia will be the first to be laid up. She will be out of commission for about a month. The Empress of Rus- sia and Empress of Japan will be laid t{up in turn--the former having a month apd the latter 26 days at Hong Kong. The big liners are kept in the best of trim; being' all thoroughly overhauled once a year.

There has been much . intelligent comment in the leading American pa- pers upon the recent changes in the British navy commands, which are universally approved. It is natural that any' promotion for Sir David Beatty should give satisfaction in the United States, for the Admiral's wife was Miss Field, of Chicago, the only daughter of the late Marshall Field. Sir David, moreover, has many friends in the American navy, for he assoclated with them at the time of the Boxer rising in China, when he was in command of the battleship Barfleur. Cunliffe Owen in the New York Times says that he showed great pluck and resourcefulness in connec- tion with the capture of two Chinese batteries. At the head of two hun- dred bluejackets he was twice wound- ed, the result being that he was pro- moted to the rank of captain, though only 29 years old. He had, been under fire before, when he took command of the gunboat flotilla on the Nile, Ad- miral Colville having been wounded, and fought the enemy determinedly. As a reward for his gallantry at Om- durman he was made a commander and invested with the D.S.0. Some Beatty Stories. The story told a few days ago of Beatty, when in charge of the British squadron visiting Kronstadt, draining a huge bumper of champagne without taking the beaker from his lip, and thus making a profonud impression upon his hosts, is widely quoted. In- deed, it is said that by this feat of what one might call draughtsmanship he contributed more than he or his officers could have done in any other way to the success of the visit that proved so fertile in' political results. !

It ought to be borne in mind, too, that Jellicoe has had an experience in actual, warfare that should be of pricelgss advantage to him in the Admiralty. ginning of this war nobody had - any such .experience, and it was necessary that a naval man without experience in modern naval warfare should be icon rei Scotch Boy's Letter. onia from Halifax to Glasgow threw overboard a bottle, 'inside of which was an envelope, saying it was thrown over 500 miles from the Irish 'coast, and asking the finder to send on the enclosure to Miss E.
