It would have been a surprising thing if any member of the committed had undertaken to defend Renter's service of telegrams against Mr Whitehead's attack. The sum put down in the estimates for this service is not large, it is true; but considering the miserably inadequate return which it bringe in the shape of telegrams and the attar na- reliability of the supply, there cannot be the slightest duubt that the money is simply thrown away, and unless the Chamber of Commerce succeeds in shaking up Reuter" it would only be an encouragement to ostelesmess and
