in the scenes of suffering poverty which are there for anyone to sve who cares to visit that wretched suburb. By the courtesy of the editor of the Daily Telegraphi (London), I was to-day enabled to see something of the misery which, by its energetic and public-spirited action, that paper has done much to relieve during the past week. The Daily Telegraph har, for ten days, devoted a large amount of its space and a great deal of clerical and or- ganising work to the promotion of a "shill- ing" fund for the relief of this part of starving London. Each issue has contained graphic descriptions of the state of being of the inhabitants of the suburb in question ~a Buburb which is wholly the domain of the working man-together with an account of the measures which, thanks to its enterprico, have been taken to mitigate the noverity of the bad time' which has pre- vailed therein.
It was, accordingly, with some certainty of seeing the real thing" that I mallied forth this morning, in com any with The Daily Telegraph's Special Commissioner, to visit the borough. As to what I saw, and what I am about to describe, I cannos help feeling that there may exist in Sydney something of the sceptic spirit hich possessed the writer before he actually witnessed the scenes which it was his bad lot to behold today, and that, therefore, his narration of them may seem possibly a littlo highly-colored, a little over-drawn, and to some extent tinged with a certain suspicion of striving after effect.
But, indeed, there is nothing of the kind in it. If it is not to infuse too personal a note into his weekly letter, your correspondent would fain confess that he wishes he had never gone nçar West Ham. There are some things which, once seen, are not easily forgotten, and, of these, the sight of starving women and children is probably the lesst easy to put aside. You may witness the life ripped out a man in thirty seconds; you may hear the delirious moanings of fover-stricken patients in army hospitals; you may sniff the abborrens odor of stale blood in some wartime shambles; you may see the bitter gony of death in half a hundred forms- and remain pretty much as you were before but, if in the outskirts of a great city you have seen the gaunt faces of children without food, and mothers who are help- less you will never, in all your life, forget the experience.
Leaving Fleet-street in the forenoon, wer took train to Canning Town, and Tram to Plastow, which is almost in the centre of 1876 the West Ham district. Here we were the
guests of an Anglican Brotherhood, which,- garbed in black, monkish costume, cowlod, and girdled with rope, labors in poverty in the midst of the very poorest quarter of the East End. So far as one could see, the kind of life led by those devoted men contains little mora of material comfort

It is.half kitchen, half sitting-room, and there presides over it a girl of apparently about ovon years of age, who is, as a matter of fact, fifteen. She is a queer, elfin little body, most resolutely jawed, and most pitiably ill clad and dirty. It is is easy to See that ber's is the masterspirit of the house.

Though defeated as the Commander of the First Army, he bas not yet presented the opportunity to be defeated as Commander-in-Chief of the whole army, and until that great force under his direction again meets the Japanese it would be ill-advised to way whether or not he will do better in the field than his unfortunate predecessor.

It is certain, though, that whatever he devises to bring the Japanese to their knees will have to be something of an extreme- 15 high strategical order if it is to be even partially successful. The

From the date of the imposition of the Commonwealth tariff duties friction has been constant between the authorities and the importers.
Prosecutions for false invoices were frequent, but did not always result in the conviction of the importer. However, as the following incident in dicates, the authorities have invented new method of insuring that the full revenue or its equivalent will be paid into the Treasury. A consignment of grams
&
phones arrived in Sydney recently invoiced at a little over £60, and the Customs
expert in gramaphones decided that the
value of the instruments was understated.'
Accordingly they nero purchased by the department with an addition of 10 per cent, on the invoice value. As the Cus toms departinent had no desire to set up as public entertainers tenders were called for the purchase of the gramaphones. The highest tender was £15, which theeting Minister (Sen for Drake) decided to accept. The government gained £85 ́on the 'deal.'

piracies are reported.
Reposted representation and appeala "have been made to the local mandarins, who, however, put forth no serious effort to cope with the evil. The officials simply reply that they have given orders to the riverine guard boats and the local military stations to suppress the piracy which ex- perience proves to mean nothing."
Only on the seventh of the present month, a gang which numbered
more than
a hundred, attacked three river junks and carried off everything, which amounted, it gis said, to about a hundred thousand dollars. It is suggested that unless some more vigorous attempts are made by the suthorities to suppress, or at least keep the river robbors in check, the extensive trade on the East river will be noriously imperil. led.

(1) the gradual working down of the enormous stocks which had accumulated in consequence of the overproduction in the years immediately preceding the date of the Brussels Convention; (2) the discovery that in consequence of the unfavourable weather in Europe it was necessary to mate- rially reduce the estimates of the growing Best crop; and (3) the knowledge that the world's consumption of sugar was faut overtaking supplies in hand and visible in the near future. Under these circumstances prices in our consuming markets continued to advance, and we were able to obtain a very satisfactory margin of profit on the RECEPTION AT THE V. M. C.
