by which the opinion of both nations exasperated, melted away, and the arbi? tration on the Venezuelan Question contributed to Ike happy relations which now exist between the greatest two navaJ powers of the future. Mr Balfour'a recant statement of the reenlta ar Ifred at by the Imperial defend of his waa divided by him into three parts. The Bret, home resting on the predominant fleet, he expounded at great length; the third, the defence of India and the future Afgh-anistan. he explained. The second he omitted- It waa to have been concerned, he told us both before -with colonial defence.

The head? ing, colonial defence, stands In the middle of the cover? about one-twentieth part of Ita contante. All, however, of that ia found tt la an to my inquiries on the single case of the abandonment of St. Lucia as a defended atatlon; and this answer does not contain a policy. tat only aaeerts that Jjunalca "would be better." M. however, the dockyard at Jamaica has been ciof-ed, aa the whole of the West India garrisons bave beer, reduced to the lowest point consistent with the maintenance of social order ln time of peace, it Is obvious tbat Mr.

felt himself to give the re-aeons which govern policy ln this part of liis speech. When the memoranda of tbe Admiralty explaining the new distribution of eur fleets appeared, when the naval statone at Balifax and Esquimau were virtually abandoned, were orly told that "concentration" had be? come a-sir-able. It -seems mere idle burying of heads in -sand to pretend that we are unaware of the real meaning ef thle change. A CANAL OUTPOST DISCARDED. At a later date we had a debate on navy ee (Umatee.

ln which the Secretary of the Admiralty a few words which were more lmptwtant ln the information ehed upon tbe subject than was the Prime but which, unlike that speech, attracted no attention. It was ex? plained that tbe Admiralty had not given up the policy of possible protection of trade routes by local patrol, and that Bermuda alone of our trans naval stations was to be This shows: that the withdrawal cf the garrison from St. Lucia, formerly considered most im? portant on account of its convenience? for the Pan-ama Canal; the clo-sing of the dockyard is Jamaica, and the similar which have beer, taken generally throughout our American stations, are on policy rather than upon etrategy. As patrol baees wrr-ld still be lt is the view of the present government, the Blettir is one in their decision can? not bt reversed by their successore, and is, there? fore, final, tbat all future between our? selves tbe United States will be -settled by bltratlon. or.

at least, without resort to arms. When the alliance of the three emperors was in its strongest force, and at a moment when the rulers of Russia anfl of Prussia were acting together In everything and eteraaJ friendship, Russia quadrilateral In "Northwestern Poiane. and Prussia expended vast sums upon the iorti of ics burg. The and naval of government take, indeed, but little cf temporary friendships, however It duty prudent men to prepare for a futme which may be very different, and not to be caught hnIbc by the formation of new group of the powers. Our government has stated In batfe Houees of Parliament that "when war breaks -oat," or.

clumsily, "when need arises." men and machinery for our West Indiar, and American dockyards -will ba sert out." Every sailor knows that the navy wiii never undertake such convoy nt EBefc times, and that this explaxation does not meet tue possibilities of dangerously streJned re? lations between ourselves and the United States. THE MARVELLOUS CHANGE OF OPINION. It would be ex-aggeration to pretend that we bave entirely disarmed toward the United more Una we have toward any other country. The United States is a power which ha3 become vul og up colonies across the seas. 3.0 one however, either that we covet tresf oak idea or that the loss of them would weigh Ae of peace that might follow collision.

Canada, as a self-respect? ing state, has an excellent military college, and is slowly improving her miiitia. without, however. up a regular force or buying arms a which can for a moment compare with establishments of her great neighbor. Sub the fact remains that the British gov? ernment has its profound belief in the stability of the rresent friendly and. indeed.

w-hich exist between ours? tre? and the United States and in the community of Interests between the two great English-speaking As one who wrote ln favor of this policy jr. Britain" ln when circumstances made its adoption far more difficult, I cannot but the stupendous change. It is far less than quarter of a century since Great Britain and were still discussing measures to prevent the United States controlling the waterway be? tween the and Pacific. The sudden rev? olution in Britiah opinion seems to have occurred between the commencement and the end of the Venezuela frontier dispute. How complete the change in opinion is may be discovered by a com? parison of the language used on all sides as to tbe later Canadian frontier difficulty with that com monly employed on all sides before the Venezuela arrangement.

It may. of course, be pointed out ln answer to my contention that, although It ls true that St. Lucia ls abandoned and the Jamaioa dockyar-3 closed, at ail events Halifax and Eie qui malt have merely been "taken over" by the Dominion. This reply, however, would not be exactly true. Hall fax and Bsquirnalt.

considered as abroad" of our navy estimates, are reduced to left to caretakers or The military defence of Esqulmalt, such as it Is. and of the strong fortress of Halifax, is taken ove- by the regulara of the Dominion. But It had always beer. assumed by British and foreign writers on politics and strategy that Halifax would remain a British "Gibraltar," even if the ultimate decision of Can? ada ln some distant future were to sever her di? rect dependence on the Crown and to become "an allied nation." The change at Halifax points, therefore, Jn the same direction as regards govern? ment policy as do the other changes which I have mentioned. WAR'S LESSON AS TO NAVAL BASES.

'The Times's" naval critic and other high au? thorities have so frequently drawn from the fate Port Arthur the moral that fleets are lured to de? struction by naval baa-css that It ought, perhaps, to be added to what has been said of our American bases that the Port Arthur argument may apply to a fortress such as Halifax, but does not affect bases such as those ln the West Even as regards Hail fax, a British fleet, with Its flne traditions of never being caught by war In port, but of putting to sea whenever International relations become strained, would not be birdlimed by such a place as Halifax. The present war, so far from diminishing the importance attached to naval bases, has once more demonstrattsd their ab? solute necessity to fleets. We shall never be aide to count on the benevolent neutrality of European powers, and must either have our own coaling sta? tions or be in a position to seize and occupy tem? porary bases. Temporary baa-es far from home are, however, not always easy to our blockades of Brest and of are always a drag to the fleet at the comencemant of a war. Everything has to be eonx-eyed and convoyed to them, and It may be asserted that the need for pro? tected coaling stations ls still as great as It was shown to be In a previous state of naval policy by the Carnarvon Commission.

The argument of the British Admiralty that circumstances have changed through the greater radius of aotlon of modern ships may affect some bases, such, for example, as Wei-Hal-Wei, but doee not affect our West Indian stations when considered all together. These facts once more show that the grounds for the change must be rather than strategic. THE OUTLOOK IN THE FAB. EAST. The belief, then, of our government aa to the permanence of good relations between ourselves and the United States stands established by the facts, aa does their confidence ln the friendliness and love of peace of the French Republic by the conventions recently cor.

Tne completeness of th? Japanese naval victory gives ground for hope that these understandings between ourselves on the one hand and France an! America on the other will not be exposed to the strain to which Continental intervention, nominally for peace, but really on behalf of Russia, would have subjected them. Japan may think It necessary to continue the -war until, by the taking of Vladivostok, she has deprived Russia of the temptation to renew the etruggle after a few years. However friendly we may be to p-eace, it Is not for us to weigh upon Japan ln a decision with regard to which the Jap an-eee may plead that continuance of war at the moment may. in the long run. tend to lasting peace.

Had there been any hope thai Russia might regain the command of the pea againet Japan it would have been difficult for France to have been behind In support of her ally, and friction be? tween France (determined though she is on and ourselves would have resulted. So, too, any dismemberment of China to the of Rus? sia or Germany against by the United States ln pursuance of the policy of the open door, maintained by the United Kingdom and Japan, but followed by a declaration that America would not go beyond the mere ssion of a wish, might also have caused a certain coldness between the press and people, though not between the govern? ments, of the "English speaking powers. As things stand, however, the of the Japanese arms does net likely to cause the government of Japan to change Its policy or to set up demands teeotutetent with the trade objects which, as re? gards China, the LTnited States and Great Britain pursue in common with Japan. THE QUESTION OF ARMAMENT. I am not.

as a rule, among the most sanguino the observers of the policy of nations, but on the preeent occasion may. for that very reason, allow myself to express the hope that the new groupings of the powers which may follow the close of the Far Eastern war may rather be in the nature of alliances of guarantee Gf status quo, combined -with simultaneous reduction of arma? ments, at least in the Pacific, than fighting alli? ances looking toward war. That Germany would refuse to bind herself not to station more than a certain limited force In the Pacific ought not to form a bar to an arrange? ment as I suggest, inasmuch as the powers which were parties to the undertaking might take note of the facts concerning the distribution of the powerful German squadrons, and set them against mere theory. It ls so certain that Germany will keep the bulk of her fleet in home waters, as the btrst means of strengthening her diplomacy, that her to come into an international arrange? ment might safely be treatt-d as having little bearing on the naval situation. America has hitherto shown a most laudable reserve in the matter of alliances.

She has. however, become what we style a Far Eastern power; she is deeply interested in the commerce of the China coasts; and an agreement to limit local naval expenditure ought not to be beyond her conception of her future sphere.

Louis Bauernflend held a rag Lee on Friday WHERE STOLEN OEMS GO. Famous Jewels Find Their Way to India Zenanas and Native Chests. Over and over again baveri insisted in these letters that the major portion of the gems of im? portane? that have been stolen ln recent years hax-e been disposed of in India. Persia and Turkey, where the tendency of the natives to add Jewels of this kind to their hoarded wealth, or else to adorn therewith their favorites ln the secrecy of their zenanas, or harems, rendors their recovery impossible. It ls therefore strange that the Tiff an ys should have delayed until last be? fore cabling to India to ascertain if anything was known there of the large and handsome stones which were stolen from their shop ln New-York more than two months ago.

The stones in question have been too accurately and tbeir appearance ls too familiar to all the leading jewellers and dealers in precious atones in America and in Europe, to admit of their having been dieposed of there by the thieves. It cannot be too strongly urged that all of the stones of any importance in the Old and in the New World are known to the leading Jewellers and only people who would command enough capital to purchase gems of this it would be impossible, for Instance, to Intrust tc the Tlffanys the setting or recutting of any pre? cious stone of Importanoe without the experts at once recognizing it and being able to say whether or not the Jewel had formed part of the plunder of some robbery. It is said that every shepherd ls able to recognise each single sheep of his flock. In the same way, although to the ordinary lay? man jewels may present an resem? blance to one yet they are -easily dis? tinguishable to the expert jeweller. That is why Jewel robbers never attempt to get rid of their booty either in Europe or ln the United States, but send all their plunder to India.

If not only the luggage but likewise the persons of the pas? s-angers, ftrst as well as second and third class, were carefully searched when the steamers of Europe arrived at Bombay, Madras. Calcutta and in the ports of Ceylon, many a time celebrated geme forming the loot of some sensational jewel robbery, cither in Europe or in America, would be discovered by the authorities. THE ORIGINAL. "MR. ISAACS." There ls in India a man who could doubtless give many points to the police on the subject, and it is probable that It is to him that the Tlffanys have ad-reesed their cabl-ed Inquiries.

That ls Jacobs, the celebrated diamond merchant, who has been por? trayed by Marion Crawford in his so popular and clever novel. "Mr. Isaacs." Jacobs ls the man whom the rtilers, the princes and the nabobs of the intrust with the purchase and. when in want of money, with the sale, of their precious stones. Which, owing to their distrust of the banks and the prohibition of the Koran to the acceptance of any money for interest, they regard as their and invested property.

It is no exaggera? tion to assert that he knows almost every precious stone any importance in Iridio, being blindly trusted by the majority of his customers, and were he not the most discreet of men, there is no doubt that he could indicate to the police the ent location of any well known und famous sione3 missed from American and European jewel caskets. Let me in support of this theory that, with I the exception of the jewels of the widoWed Countess of Dudley, which were recovered by means of a compromise between the late earl and the thieves without the intervention of the- police, hardly any of the plunder of the great jewel robberies of the last flve and twenty years has ever been recovered, Moreover, the principal gems heve never reap- either s-at or unset, upon the market, What has become of them? The only plausible answer is to the effect that thev 'are hidden away In Oriental harems, to the police and the authorities have no access CROWN PRINCE'S BERLIN HOME. Empress Frederick's palace at Berlin is being prepared for the of the Crown Prince and Crowr. Prinoess of Germany. It is one of the moei charming and comfortably arranged residences at the disposal cf the Kaiser, and a feature of Its external adornment is a large horeeshoe cemented Into the wall just outside the fourth window of the i first story of the palace.

It seems that one day, some years before Emperor Frederick was seized with that terrible malady to which he eventually succumbed, the present Kaiser was invited to dine I with his parents. Finding that he was v-ery late ar.d knowing the views of his parents on the? score of punctuality. "William directed his coachman to drive as fast as he could, and the carriage posi- tively raced up the incline to the portal. "Suddenly one of the big Mecklenburg horses lost his shoe, which in sorr.e extraordinary' manner flew up into the air. dashed through the first story window and fell upon the dinner table, right ln front of Frederick and of the then Crown Princess, who, declining to wait any longer, had just sat down to table.

The shoe Is reported to have grazed the nose of the late Emperor. At any rate, the fact that it should have failed seriously to injure any one is a miracle. It was so regarded by Frederick, his wife and his children, who deemed the queer advent of the shoe and the escape of everybody from injury as an indication of good luck. At the suggestion of the present Kaiser it was thereupon cemented into the wall just outside the window through which it had come, and it was fastened upside down in order to prevent the luck from dropring out. The palace In question was at one time the favor? ite Berlin residence of Frederick the Great, and it was there too that King Frederick William III lived with his morganatic wife, the Princess de Uegnitz.

Countess Harrach, after the death of his first consort, the celebrated Queen Louise. It was the first mansion in the Prussian capital to equipped with all modern sanitary improve? ments, and may be said to have- inaugurated a sort of -revolution In such matters in Germany, where until forty years ago affairs of this kind were in? describably primitive. THE T1CHBORNE DOLE. The presence of Sir Henry Tichborne In this coun? try In the past few weeks has served to recall not only the cause celebre of thirty years ago ln con? nection with the claim to his estates by a bogus Sir Roger Tichborne, but also the fact that some of the most Interesting medieval customs are kept up at the Tichborne place in Hampshire. One of them Is the distribution of the so-called Tichborne dole, which has been kept up without any Interrup? tion, year by year, for eight centuries.

Shortly after the Norman Conquest the manor of Leiner ston was bestowed by "William the Conqueror upon the family of one of his knights, which thereupon adopted the name of Lemerston. In the reign of King Henry I Sir Roger Tichborne married Isabella, the heiress of the Lemerstones. "When, after a life of great charity, she lay dying, she prayed her hus? band to set aside for the poor as much land as would enable her to institute a dole of bread to all? comers at the gates of Tichborne on every Lady Day. Sir Roger took a brand from the hearth, and promised her as much land for the purpose as she oould while the brand was burning. Lady Isabella, according to tradition, caused her? self to be carried trom her bed to a spot which ls still pointed out, and began creeping on her hands and knees.

Before the brand was cojjsumed she had encircled eeveral acres, which are still known to this day In that part of the country as "The Crawls." Since that day. eight hundred years ago or more, the Tichborne dole has never ceased to be distributed on every Lady Day. Up to about fifty years ago It was given away ln the form of 1.900 loaves. Nowadays it takes the form of a large gift of flour to each family In the village of Tich? borne. the distribution taking place ln front of Tichborne House.

STATE PAID THE COSTS. When Sir Henry ls absent, as he Is often away shooting ln Central Africa, or engaged in Central Asian explorations, or ln the hunting of big game In India, it is his wifie, a very charming and chic woman, wlvj presides at the ceremony. He still holds the large Tichborne estates, as well as the baronetcy, subject to the reappearance of his uncle, the missing Sir Roger Tichborne, who, as every one knows, vanished on a sea voyage from Valparaiso to Melbourne, it ls a -great mistake to imagine that 81r Henry suffered financially from tbe lawsuit brought thirty years ago by the bogus Sir Roger to obtain possession of the property and title. For It was the government itself that un? dertook the cost, to the tune of nearly Sir Henry, who is the son of the younger of tbe ml-ivslng Sir Roxer. was born two months after his father's death, and has a boy fift-sen years of age to Inherit his ancient baronetcy and estates.

Lady Tichhorna belongs, like her husband, to one of the old Catholic families of Bnglaj-id, being a of Edward Petre, grandson of the ninth Lord Petre. Among the Petres. In the Tichborne family, many stoange old customs are also kept up. among others ono which provides that on the burial of any one of their name one widow for every year of the dead Petre's life receives a new gold sover? eign and a loaf of bread. Thus, when the late Lord Petre died, and waa laid to rest ln the full canoni? cals of a prelate of the Roman Catholic at the of forty-seven, forty-seven widows.

re? ceived a gold sovereign and a loaf of bread each. The present Lord Petre is a rather different man to his brother, and until his marriage a few years ago was noted ln London as a bon vivant. He makes his home with his Canadian wife, at Thorn don Hall, In Essex, and for many years let his Elizabethan manor house, Ingateatone Hall, in the same county, to the well known novelist.
