Mr Deakin regards the messages of Messrs Burns and Bell as merely electioneering manifestoes, and being used by the British Opposition at the by-election, were not on behalf of the working men of Britain.

PERTH, October 3.

Th« Looncana has arrived after a pas aage of 30A days from Glasgow. She averaged 16 knots on a daily consumption of 63- tons of coal. The turbines never stopped onco «xcept while coaling at the ports. Vibration was entirely absent, and the vessel never shipped a single sea. Chief Engineer Dunlop states that the success of the turbine system is thoroughly proved by the experience of Loongana. A vessel can easily maintain 18 knots in the worst weather with four boilers, but he only used two on this run.
