The Pioner writes in mosting at 100 Volts: countries the idea of persons asking. for concessions from a State railway to facilitate their attendance at a meeting called to consider the ques- ion of paralysing the Government would appear incredible. The Con gress organisers in the Punjab, how ever, appear to have requested the North-Western Railway to arrange that the charges, amounting to nearly Rs. 5,000, on a special train for delegates to attend the "meeting on co-co-operation at Calcutta should be waived and they, no doubt, feel that they have a grievance because their modest application, was not granted !

NOTICE TO CONSIGNEES.
The Frenier pointed out that unless the Asquithian Liberals intend to give Ireland full control of military and naval affairs their proposal in which that ceases to be Dominion Home Rule in the sense phrase is accepted throughout the Empire and term becomes a form of deception. As regards the feasibility of giving Ireland complete control of her own taxation, the Premier declared that the giving of this control would LATEST SHIPPING NEWS, to the second Earl Russel, Viscount.S.

The Premier queried whether the British people would agree that Irish-morning at 7 aan., from Shanghai men, should have special privileges with regard to taxation resulting from the war, but if someone entitled to speak on behalf of Ireland stated that they were prepared to take a fair share of Ireland's obligations that would be a different matter. "But if we are told, give us the customs, excise .and income tax and

The Premier continued: “We cannot cut the painter of Dominion policy as now put forward. It would leave us in a terrible position."
The Premier pointed out that under the Liberal policy Ulster would have to be most seriously coerced. He did not believe that the Liberals really imagined they could carry Dominion Home Rule even if they had a majority in the House of Commons.
GERMAN REPARATIONS.
IMPORTANT ACTION TAKEN BY FRENCH.
DIRT NEGOTIATION.
LONDON, October, 7.
A telegram from Paris says the Government has decided to settle the question of the reparations due to France under the Peace Treaty by direct negotiations with Germany, later submitting a scheme for the Allies' ap proval. If this plan is carried out it is believed it will make the pending Geneva Conference unnecessary. The importance of this first act of German grace if successful and if the spirit is continued cannot be over estimated. As regards its influence upon the whole financial situation, the hope is ex- preased-in Paris that the action will bring back Germany into the com- manity of nations. It is signalled as personal triumph for M. Millerand upon his entry to the Elysee.
