The Fourth Party, or lightes 'Cave Dwellers,' as I have said before, scized upon the unfortunate gentleman, and dragged him and his army scheme through the mire of unkind criticism for the purpose of bringing the Govern- ment undor whom they were supposed to serve into conturaely, and now the Indian papers are having their very frank say about the War Secretary.

Saigon advices refer already to the end of the season. and the shortage in the crop, previously estimated, is, unfortunately, most likely to prove a fact. It is believed that daily supplies, now about 20,000 piculs, must suon fall away, also, that the abnormally high prices will be maintained. Reference to latest Saigon price lista shows white rice and cargo rice quoted as about $4.85 and 24.05 per picul respectively, as against about 183.55 and 32.88 anme date last year, and these figures would indeed appear to bear out the assertion that prices are more or less prohibitive to business,
