SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

INDIA.
Mr. OTWAY begged to ask tho hon. Secretary for
India whether the telegram from India, which appeared in
the newspapers of the day might be looked upon as authen-
tic, and that the war in Bhootan might be considered
as brought to a termination.
Mr. STANSFELD said he had no reason to doubt the
authenticity of the telegram referred to. He had no posi-
tive information as yet on the matter.
RAILWAY TRAVELLING.
Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN moved for leave to introduce a
bill to compel railway companies to provide efficient
means of communication between the passengers and guard
and guard and engine driver in charge of
passenger
trains. The system was to a great extent in operation in
France, and to a small extent in some of our principal rail-
ways ; but the object in introducing the bill was to make
the arrangement general in all railways in the country.
Mr. M. GIBSON said he had no objection to the intro-
duction of the bill, but he could not commit himself to ap-
prove of the measure until he had considered it in detail.
The bill was then brought in and read a first time.

bring in a bill to amend an act passed last session called
the Colonial Governors' Retiring Pensions Act.
