THE IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. London, March?. Lord George Hamilton, replying to a question asked by Mr O’Connor in the House of Commons, stated that the auxiliary squadron had not been tried to the maximum draught, as it was feared damage might result to the boilers. They had, however, been put to a trial which exceeded the draught specified in the contract. During the discussion in the House of Commons on the War Estimates, Mr Stanhope, Secretary for State for the War Department, mentioned thM the trial of the smokeless powder- had been attended with aqooeaa, and that the whole forces were to be armed with modern weapons. The defences of the Coaling stations, he said, were practically completed, and the sub-marine mines, which were provided throughout the Empire, afforded an effective defence, which could be increased on short, notice. He also stated that the comfort of the new barracks would tend to induce the enlistment of recruits.

The First Lord of the Admiralty, in the House of Commons to-day. admitted that the Australian warships had been accepted without a trial at the maximum forced draught.
