LONDON,-Jan, 20th Mr. Luxmoore Drew hold an inquest at Chelses Coroner's Court yesterday with re- ference to the death of John Robert Doune, Guards and a Christian Belentist, who died at meeting recently in the Lower Bouse. There Aged 46 years, formerly a captain in the Dragoon were present Mr. Hagiwara, Chief of the Com-Bans Crescent, Chelses, on Saturday last Mr. mercial Bureau in the Foreign Office, and other Government delegates.
SUGAR.
Mr. Sakurai, Government delegate, in reply to questions, explained that with a view to protecting the sugar industry in Japan and Formoss the Government recognized the necessity of imposing a duty of from fifty to nixty per cent. The Government also found products, and with this end in view had decided it necessary to protect domestic agricultural to imposes duty of from fifteen to twenty per

Mr. Sakurai remarked that during the 41st (1908-9) fiscal year 285,000 kin of beef, vained stinge just before he died. 1.44,000, was imported to Japan. Of this the larger portion cante from Australis. Under the revised tariff the duty on beef will be lowered from thirty to twenty par cent. The demand for mutton in Japan is very small, and in consequence a high duty will be impossil-
VINEGAR.
The imports of vinegar during the 41at (1908-9) fiscal year were represented by only 15,700 Foreign vinegar was chiefly used by foreign residents in Japan.
CONDENSED MILK
The duty on condensed milk will be increased from five to forty per cent. with the object of developing the domestic industry. For some time foreign condensed milk has been used in place of sugar, and the Government had there fore decided to increase the duty thereon.
COFFEE.
BUTTER
A high duty will hereafter be imposed on coffee, which is seldom used by the Japanese.
The imports of butter in 1903 and 1904 amounted to Y.260,000 and Y.280,000, respec tively. In later years the imports have shown a great diminution, owing to the gradual develop meat of the domestic industry, Government is of opinion that the industry will gradually attain development without increasing the tariff

HIDES.
The tariff on hides will remain as hitherto, the duty being five per cent. No duty will be imposed on American hides,
