VOTES AND COMMENTS.

In the cable news via San Francisco on Saturday, mention was made of a scheme by Sir Andrew Clarke to construct coastal defences without elaborate forti fications and masonry. Sir Andrew Clarke was formerly Inspector - General of fortifications in England. . and speake, therefore, with authority. He is now of opinion that, the 'elaborate1' masonry A-orka which have been- com monly adopted in the construction of " coastal defences are a mistake. 'I hey are very costly, and hot so effectiye'as simple earthworks. This is a .lesson, which Imperial officers might have, learned from the Maori pabs forty years ago, when, duriogHeke's war,they blazed away aibthose structures without doing, the least harm to the occupants. In the Waikatqwartbelesson was repeated and enforced, but it would be too great a condescension for Her Majesty's. ' engineers to learn anything from savages. The lessons of Plevna, when Osman Pasha from behind a few hastily constructed earthworks kept the whole Russian army at bay for mouths, could not, how ever, be ignored. In an interview,' Sir Arthur Clarke gave the following exposition v of bis oreaent viawa on coastal defences : — My plandoesaway with all fortifications. In stead of alleged invulnerability my principle is the invisibility of the defences. 1 havo worked out a disappearing gun system which can be applied to the heaviest gun made. This renders a fortification unnecessary. The gun.occupies a hole in tho ground. ; When in action it is raised by a sort of hydraulic elevator, and after tiring ginks into the pit again to be reloaded. Thus it is exposed for only a few second?. Whoa in the pit it can only be hit by a vertical or plunging fire, and the likelihood of such shuts striking their mark is infinitely email. Covered ways shelter the men' who load the guns, so that the enemy has prac- ; tically nothing to aim at. A gun 'operated in this manner commands, a much wider area than when mounted in'a fort." -

Nothing further of a definite nature has transpired in relation to the proposed trip to England of Sir 11. Stoat and Major Atkinson. The Wellington ".Poet," oo Saturday, writing on the eubject, expresses the opinion that "there is little doubt that negotiations of a peculiarly, confidential • character have recently been carried on, '■;, and are not yet concluded, between the Premier and the Bon. Major Atkinson in reference to the representation of the colony at the Colonial Conference, and the relations of parties during the coming session. We should not be in tho least surprised, although it is true that nothing is yet' settled, to find' the rival leaders travelling companions for London as joint re . preaentatives of New Zealanq at tnejCon ference, and Sir Julius Vogel left to conduct ' the business of next session on the distinct understanding; that the Representation Bill . ' shall be pressed forward and no legislation ' of a party character initiated. Possibly - also, in the event of such an arrangement being made, a seat in the Cabinet might be found for some representative of ' the other - " side.'" - ~ ■'■ ■;- ?M

Among the obituary not"ces by..the' San 7? Francisco mail appears thj namu of John • Roach, ehipbuildor, of New York. Except ' as being the builder of some of the American vessels that have been employed upon the San Francisco mail service-, New Zealand would not appear to have any p-irticular interest in the career of this man. Neverthe less his life was remarkable enojagh .to com-. maod attention anywhere and evury-where., M It illustrates the cpportunites for succeeding which are opened up to the poorest in the United States, and not lees co to residents . in those colonies, John Koach, was an emigrant from Ireland, who at the ago of' (sixteen went to seek hia fortune in the great Republic. Findiug no em ployment in Hew York, the poor friend lees boy crossed; over into New Jersey in search of a man who had worked-for his father in the old country. He found him at the Howell Works', sixty miles - from Jersey City, and procured work in the same establishment, which waa owned by James Allaire. Three years "from his be ginning life in the United^Sfcates. he. had accumulated £300 and leaving the balance c£ his savings in tha jfeßcfo of-Mr Ailaire; J*fc~ took a small amount of cash and slirrted (or ■ ' the West with the intention to buy '" : -: land. Mr Allaire's, failure in business killed this project and left the young man undo the necessity of working as a lubcurer ia order to live. Hefeturned to New York,, and shortly afteTward—ho was a married man by this time—set up in business, ia which he prospered for, a, while but was afterwards financially ruined by ti o oxploaiou of a boiler,. Undaunted, he started afresh, and this time succeeded. Ho built " n'p engineering ;and shipbuilding woiks in which.'.were built,, the largest cngiixea ' ai.d some 'of the finest . steamßlupa; ovtr constructed • .in the United' 'fSfitcjs, He received: a good deal of tu?Bista m» . > fronvpiUtical influences, :bu6 Hastily 'a d. - puta'wiih the administration1 dv<-r eooie war cruiEora which he had built and wLjoh they refused to accept becaueenot up to tiiiidaro1, brought ahout an assignment i ft.la estate, After handling millions,' tharefcr.', he diet 1 ■• as.ho began, a poor man strugg'i: g against jananclal" difficulties.
