The editor of the EXPRESS wishes 10
impress the fact upon the minds Of
those who are behind ON subscription
and otherwise, that he needs every
cent due him. We have borrowed
money from year to year in order to
continue our business, before we would
insist upon It from those who owe us,
but pay day Is now near at hand, and
we shall be compelled to either collect,
or sacrifice what we have worked for
these many years. The amounts due
us are small, taking them severally,
and you would not miss the money,
but put these amounts together. and
they make several thousand dol
lars. VIII or will not our friends help
us out by paying up?

solomon Islands. Annexed by England


The Solomon islands, which were an
nexed by England last week, form the
largest and least known group of islands
in the Pacific ocean. although among the
first to be discovered They form double
chain of seven large and many smaller
islands extending for over GOO miles in a
northwest and southeast direction. They
are between latitude deg. south, longi-
tude 15i deg. 40 min. east and latitude 10
deg. 81 min. south. Longitude l62 deg. 30
min. east. The nearest portion OF New
Guinea lies about 400 miles to the south
west of the group. They were discovered
by the Spanish navigator Mendana about
the year 1857. Seven of the islands are
from fifty TO over leo miles in length by
from fifteen 20 twenty miles in breadth.
Their coasts afford good harbors, and
the land is we'll watered by small
streams. They seem TO be largely
composed oil volcanic rock and limestone.
Their interior Is mountainous. In one
place where there is an active volcano the
extolled the beauty and fertility of the
islands for many years. Villages upon
the islands are prosperous and thrifty.
The whole chain of islands seems TO be
rising steadily. Traces of ancient up
heaysi are very common. Navigation IN
the channels between the islands is very
dangerous. owing TO strong currents which
are flowing constantly. The climate Is
damp anu unhealthy, owing 10 excessive
rainfall. There are few animals on the
islands, but birds abound and the sea Is
alive with fish all around the group. The
inhabitants are pure folynesians. A
small, sturdy Melanesian race. The men

LONDON. Aug. 2s.-During discussion
OF the navy estimates in the COM
mons today Sir Edward James Reed.
who was at one time chief con-
strnctor of the navy. declared that the
disaster 10 the warship Victoria was
just what was expected of that class of ves-
sells years ago. There remained in the
navy other vessels of the same style. and
he wondered how many more would cap
size before the admiralty could be
induced TO abandon that descrip-
ton OF war vessel. Admiral Field
said the standard for the navy
should be based upon the work the navy
had to do. This was not taken into con-.
sideration, but she trainers of the naval
estimates thought ten more first-ciass
ships required, especially effective rams. A
large sum of money had been spent upon
vessels that looked like rams, but
that did not deserve the name
and that could do no more execution than
man fitting against some wall with a
tumble on his nose. Rt. Hon. j. Goschen
said such assertions could not be passed.
and he recommended that the government
institute searching inquiry into the con-
struction of all vessels similar to the ILL
fated Victoria.
