The Queen paid a visit on Saturday afternoon to the British Home and Hospital for Incurables at Streatham hffl. The visit had been promised lor some months, but was eventually arranged at short notice, the chairman and other oEicials being hastily summoned by telegraph to welcome her Majesty, Too yueen, who w3 accompanied bv Princess "Victoria, and attended bv Ladv Gosford, the Hon. Charlotte KnoHys, Lord Howe, and the Horn Sidney Greville, left Buckingham Palace at 3 45.

The Royal party and the suite drove in two four horsed open carriages, with postilions and scarletxoated outriders, and Colonel Brocklehnrst rode on horseback beside the Queen's carriage. Eer Majesty and the Princess were ceived on arrival at the hospital by the chai man, who read ah address of welcome, by representatives of the governing body, and the secretary. A bouquet was presented to the Queen by Miss Carlfle, who has been an inmate cf the institution for 3G years. The Royal party inspected, the wards, and her Majesty spoke to bunch cf flowers, which had been sent down from the gardens of Buckingham Palace. An hour and a half was occupied in visiting the wards.

The Queen took the keenest interest in the records of the various cases and expressed her sincere svmrrathy with the sufferers, who were much touched bv her Majesty's kindly feelings. One of the principal desires of the governors was to offer to the Qnecn a memeDto of her coronation, which he? Majesty was graciously pleased to accept. It took the form of bestowing upon her Majesty a nomination for three beds in the hospital, and three annuities in connexion with the home. The Queen also provided each of the inmates with box of chocolate. The Royal visitors and the and subsequently returned to Buckingham WO ME ITS HOLIDAY FUND, i bo TO THE EDITOR OP THE TIMES.

Sir, As many of vour readers will so thinking of their holidays, we appeal once more through your paper for belt) for the Women's Holiday Fund. Last year 796 women were sent way for two or three weeks' holiday to the country or the seaside. This year we have already received applications for a holiday from more than 950 women, and fresh applications are being daily received from all parts of London. Unless further funds are forthcoming these applications will have to be refused, and much disappointment caused to these poor tired women, most of them mothers of families, whose only rest is this holiday, and who, many of them, have never had a holiday before. The women pay as much as they are able towards the cost of their holiday.

Any donations, however small, will be gratefully received by the hon. treasurer, A. S. Daniell, Jairchildes, Warlingham, Surrey, or by Messrs. Coutte and Ctv, 59, Strand.

We remain. Sir, yours faithfully, J. SCOTT LIDGETT, Bermondsey Settlement, B.B. FRANCIS M. WYNDHAM, St.

Mary of the Angels, as: The following eorrespondenee has passed between Sir Alfred Newton and Sir John Colcmb, M.P. 17, Cumberland terrace, Regant's park, N.W., July 14. Dear Sir John Colomb, The questions yon recently rubmitied to the Secretary of State for War sc previous to or daring formation or subsequent the force should be employed to where and bow i Africa whether ue that Mr. Amold Foreter replied to your the negative, and I should like to emphasize ust when, as Lord Mavnr. offorwrf iJ War authorities on behalf of the City of London equip, transport to the of war in South to the nation 1,000 effective Africa free of all Volunteers, I made no conditions and exacted promises.

The Volunteers were to be treated precisely as ordinary soldiers. The first CJ.V. contingent was Ewora in at Guildhall on January 1, 1000, sailed on 13, and was in action at Jivcobsdaal on February 17 under Colonel Chohnondeley. The record of the battalion up to leaving the country and arrival in London, October 23, 1900, is, no doubt, known to you. I may that rmniber of Volunteers would, on the invitation of the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London, Jiooso of Commons.

Xuy question, which you quote, should have i boa on the reputation of the CXV. Corps. My regret i put to ascertain facta, should so Underfeese aum! convey a possible reneo and motive for putting the questii duty to briefly state hour, and for nearly 40 years I have continuously studied the grave and complex subject of Imperial defence. conviction ns aiways Deen, ana Docomes stronger every year, that what we need military forces for is not to sit down and wait at homo for somebody to cross the KM to attack us, but to fight beyond sea where and when the necessities of oar Empire require. economic necessities of the United Kingdom imperatively demand the maintenance of a free sea the existence of our Empire depends noon the same fern.

free sea to us means toe denial of freedom to an fe provision cf its necessary corollary, Volunteer forces are, in relation to the Empire, immobile Colonies Militia and and unavailable for its general service watched' the efiect of actual war unon a military svst wholly unadapted to the military' necessities of i erpression took the form of that splendid but small body, The business mind of the great commercial centre of the Empire realized at once the necessity of helping Volunteer soldiers to go from a part of fee Empire where they werenotwanted to a part of the Empire where they TheTc67 C.LV.'s sent out by the (Sty of London were in physique, in intelligence, and in courage the finest body of men who left i shore England. In South Africa the proofs of this were manifold and continuous. 1 do feel it really hard my question should be thought offee British ouroTmteers cast reflection on the "reputation i strength of part of i November 1, 1899, leavailable for the service of the Empire Thus you will see that in my broad survey ef Imperial that reflection suggested my question. I wished inducement to join the CJ. in the form of a promise of the tpecial favour of being sent immediately to the I cot was satisfactory and conclusive.

We now know that no member of the CI. was justified in expecting any special favour, and all knew they would be treated Just the as their comrades in the Regular Army and Under these circumstances your assurance that 5,000 absolute equality in all respects with all the other forces fferni yon will agree with me that my BoeTgiad our correspondence will be yours very iruiy.
