Mr. Jameson said that, patent still spirit und nenher the flavour, bouquet, nor body of pot still whisky. Irish whisky could not be made in a patent still. The por still kept the natural flavour of the grala.. There was nothing re- Ceastily deleterious in the patent still product, but it was hot whisky. To bland pot with patent at all lowered the quality of the former,
Such mixtures bat prejudiced Irish whisky in the eye of the public.

Mr. Jameson: I think the consumer should be told what he is getting. It was due to the consumer to know the proportions in which
patent was mixed with pot. The whole value of the purchase depended on that..
In the course of further examination Mr. Jameson admitted that the regulations be sug. gested might put a stop to the business of blending out of bond; but that was just the most dangerous part of the business, and be was prepared to see this done. It would al- ways be possible dishonestly to mix a centain portion of patent still with pot still whisky without fear of discovery, He was in favour of a period of compulsory boading..
As showing how pot-stilled whisky improved with ago, the witness said the selling price of the product new wat 52, per gallon, 25 over. proof; at an age of two year it was sold for " THE

Replying to Mr. H. T. Brewd, the witness aaid that the improvement of patent-stilled with age was extremely slight. Very little Irish whisky was sold in Ireland under Eve years of age.

Mr. James Talbot Power, chairman, of. John Power and Sons, Limited, distillers, Dublin, Baid the term Irish whisky should be confined" as a trade description to the spirits distilled in Ireland in a pot still. Irish whisky could not be produced from maize. Patent apirit was extracted in one operation from any ferment able material, and had none of the characteris tics of whisky, neither the flavour, bouquet, nor body.

The pot still was the only still which pro duced whisky, and the practices of selling as whi sky, patent spirit with a small addition of pot still whisky, in give it a flavour, was a distinct and

Reuter Agency fears that the second later...
terminated without being able to agree on the "draft convention before it. The French and Italian plenipotentiaries declared themselves Doable to accept a proposal, made at the last conference in June and then unanimously recommended, for the establishment of a central bureau in London, and they proposed that the work connected with sleeping sickocs should be taken over by the Hygienic. Bureau, which a conference held in Rome in Novem ber last, as a sequel to the Paris Conference of 1903, has proposed should be established fa Paris.
This proposal the German plenipotentiaries declined to accept, and they strongly support the British plan for the establishment, of a bureau in London, The Freach plenipot entiaries wer niso unable to agree to other parts of the draft convention, and although the majority of the Powers represented supported these proposals, it was found useless to proceed farther in the absence of unanimity,
The president, Lord Fitzmaurice, in closing the proceedings, said that the position, was the same as at the London Conference on Egyp tian Finances in 1884, when agreement was found impossible. Nevertheless, it was "not" his opinion that the conference had been use less. The assemblingin Lendon of the distinge uished scientific man whom they find wel- comed, the discussions, which had taken pisce, and the communications which had been read were an important record thenssalven of scien» lific views, and would help to form opinion on controverted polets." It was now also clear. that much might be done between the limitroph Powers themselves in East Africa by separate conventions to secure uniformity of treatment of the disease, especially on the frontiers, and he hoped and believed that this could be done, diplomatically.
