GENERAL BADEN POWELL ARRIVES.

Dines at Government House.

General Baden Powell arrived in Hongkong this morning by the German Mail from Shanghai as unostentatiously as any ordinary traveller. He was welcomed to the Colony on behalf of the officer administering the Government, by Captain Taylor, A.D.C. The great soldier accepted an invitation to tiffin at Government house and proceeded there. A detailed sketch of General Baden Powell's career, with photograph, appeared in yesterday's issue of the "Telegraph."

An Interesting Address.

Speaking at Shanghai the other day the chief Scout had some interesting things to say.

"Scouts," he said, "I just want to tell you how glad I am to see you here this afternoon, little thought a week ago that I should have the chance, but I got it and I am glad to be here. I am very pleased to see that so many of you have turned out to meet me. I hope next time I may come to see a great many more. I am pleased to see you smartly equipped, and especially to find so many of you wearing badges of efficiency. That shows you are not merely playing the game of Scouts but are doing the work, making yourselves efficient for examination and doing the whole thing in the right way. I have recently been seeing a great many of your brothers in Europe and the United States where there are now between 300,000 and 400,000 Scouts; and also in Russia, Germany, and Norway. They are all doing the same work and consider themselves your brothers. I hope some of you will get into communication with them and make friends with them by letter. The Americans have sent a troop of Scouts this year to Great Britain, and others will be sent from Canada, Germany and Holland. You may some day be able to send a Shanghai troop to England. Your brother Scouts have told me to give you greetings, which I heartily do. Besides winning badges, I hope you do not forget your 'good turns'. That is the most important part of a Scout's duty. Your brother Scouts in all parts of the world have that duty of trying to do a good turn to someone every day. Don't forget your promise to do that, and try also to make yourselves good men and citizens."
