"them to get the very best of goods at the very lowest price. That is at all events what is contended on their behalf. Of course hon, members may have reason to suppose the contrary, still I have no doubt that in a great many cases their large experience of work and of firms must be exceedingly valuable In getting good work at a cheap price. Whether the large business they do is always done in the best of ways is a matter I cannot say anything about. I only know it is the principle contended for on their behalf. But as I said before, if the hon. member's feeling is shared largely by others I am in duty bound to forward their recom- mendation to the Secretary of State. I do not think there is any point I have not touched upon; if there is, I shall be happy to afford the hon. member or others who desire it such in- formation as is in my power.

audit vote this year. They wou'd have to put down the amount fixed by the Civil Lest and so much more as was necessary in Establishments, A coach and four had been driven, through the Civil List Ordinance so often that he thought the sooner it was repealed the better; in some res- pect it was mischievous. He went on to explain, with respect to the vote for defences in next year's estimates, that from inquiries he had just made he found that of the 1.0000 originally voted not much was left, he could not say how much, because they did not know how much the Crown Agents had spent at home, but in all probability there would not be more than $20,000 or so left after the $30,000 to be voted for next year.
Mr. MacEwan asked the Chairman if he was sure he was correct in the statement be had just made. He was under the impression General Cameron had told him that he had spent $112,000 out of the $120,000. He thought it was a matter that should be carefully looked
into.
The Chairman said he had not had time to locked into the figures, but he would do so be- fore the next meeting. ་་
The Supplementary Estimates for 1888 were then formally passed, all the items having been approved separately at the times they were in- curred.
The Committee then adjourned.
LATE TELEGRAMS"
The Surveyor-General-I was say just now, sir, that the work in connection with this light has been very much under-es timated, and that it is hardly possible for me to give any time na to the date when it will be complcied. I may say that after making careful enquiries it W15 concluded that the Gap Rock was the only place for the light- house. From my own experience and that of others who have carried out works of this nature, I have come to the conclusion that it would to very rash on my part to name any time for the completion of the light. The history of all similar works shows that no class of work can be imagined where the difficultles are greater or where it is so impossible to form and estimate of anything like the time required for completion, but I may say now that every preparation for completion has been made. The contract is entered into, the material is prepared, we have secured a steamer which I believe will turn out to be useful for a tender in the service of the lighthouse, and the work shall be, so far as I am concerned, pushed on as rapidly as it possibly can, but as to fixing any possible time for com-A letter has been sent by the Mansion House pletion, I think it more prudent to admit at Committee, urging masters to accept the lighter- once, that this is one of these maiters in which men's contention; in the meantime the operation the most experienced would hesitate to retum of yesterday's manifesto has been postponed for any definite answer.
forty eight hours to await the masters decision which, it is believed, will be favourable.
The Acting Colonial Secretary-The senior unofficial member has asked a question about the forts. The second instalment of £60,000 was voted by the Council and a 'rider' was added that it was on the distinct understanding that the colony was not to be asked for any more. That vote was received by the Imperial Govern- ment without any remark. We cannot call it à guarantee. Although the colony has expressed Its opinion nothing has been sald the other alde. The $30,000 asked for next year is not strictly a re-vole, although the sum voted for this year has not been spent, but as we have not nearly spent the £120,000 originally voted it is not strictly a re-vote, but simply that $30,000 more is voted out of that sum.
1 His Exc·llency-Do I understand that when this sum of $30,000 is expended the whole of the £120,000 will not have been spent.

The Acting Colonial Secretary-Oh no, sir. His Excellency-1 understand the question to be whether this $30,000 is a fresh vote or is it the remaining unspent portion of the £120,000.
The Acting Colonial. Secretary-I must apologise for not being very well posted in these details. I have been absent for sixteen months, and since my return! have been nearly the whole time on my back. I am now informed that this $30.000. does not nearly exhaust the £120,000. With regard to the question of audit, I should like to say a word. There is no objection to be raised to Imperial audit by any reasonable man. In any department every conscientious officer does not care two straws who audits the accounts, inasmuch as he has done his best to make things plain. I merely say that while
LONDON, November 10th. Imperial audit is better than local audit it is.
Lord Salisbury in his speech at the Lord not so much better as to justify the beavy ex Mayor's banquet at Guildhall last night, said, he penditure it entails. While on this point I rejoiced at the signs of the increasing wealth of may say that any successful audit must be done the country and hoped that the disputes between on the spot, and any Imperial audit carried out labour and capital would not jeopardise it. at bonic must be a mistake.. Let me give one
The nations of Europe were showing a Instance of what I mean. When Sir William Marsh arrived here he brought in a system of generous rivalry in promoting civilization in Africe, and the approaching anti-slavery Con- audit reform, The Post Office and Stampference marka, an epoch in the world's history. Revenue Office being a department through which a large number of accounts pass, he sent down a number of questions to be answered and reports to be made with regard to different items. Sheet after sheet of foolscap came, and at last, instead of answering these, I wrote a letter asking him to come and spend a morning in the office. He came down and spent some three or four hours there and went into every item of collec- tion, and be said that he learnt more from that than he ever could have done on paper. 'Arrange ments which appeared to be absolutely monstrous when described on paper he found to be capable of very little alteration or to refer to sums so trivial that it was not worth while to go into more detail, and things that I had thought were done in the most convenient way he pointed out to me and convinced me were nat so safe as they might be and we therefore put them on possibly a more troublesome, but certainly a more satisfactory, basis. Now, all this could not have been discovered bad he not gone there, and that is why I say that no audit conducted ten thousand miles from the colony can be really satisfactory, because it is simply done on paper and it is impossible for a man with paper answers and paper explanations, who does not see what is really going on, to obtain any idea of the real circumstances of the case. If no other hon. member bas any observations to make I have. now to move that this Bill be referred to the Finance Committee.

With regard to Egypt, his lordship said that the Prince of Wales, during his recent visit there, kad recognised the enormous progress that had. been made under the sheltering held of Great Britain, and there is good hope of shortly being able to remit the taxes at present burdening the fellakeen; but the invasions that had been made by the Mahdiste during the present year, added to the overthrow of Emin Pacha, only prove that the time for the evacuation of the country had not yet arrived; other Power, his & WALSH, LIMITED. lordship said, may assist to hasten the time by. concurring in the measures to improve the post- tion and prosperity of Egypt.
