Leaving aside the suggestions which your correspondent has made, allow me to point ont a slight mistake which must have crept in through inadvertence. As eyewitness of the instehes played between Lord Hawke's Team and the Farsees, the latter were victorious by several wickets in the first match only, while in the return muick which was played ulso at Bombay (and not at Focna, as your corre- spondent states; the Pareces were beaten by 7 or 8 runs. I cannot here give the exact particulars of the scores made by the respective teams, as the matches referred to were played some years ago, but Tean stato with ample certainty that the Parases on the first and lost the return watch. As a matter of fast two English representative cricket teams have visited India. The first was brought out by Mr. Vernon a couple of years before Lord Hawke brought out his team, and in the two matches played between Vernou' Team and the Parsees, the latter were in both vitorious. I therefore presume that whilst writing your correspondent may probably have had the latter facts in his mind, but instead of asing Vernon's name he used that of Lord Hawke--Yours, etc.,

The following report of an interview which representative of the Associated Press has pablisted in America:~~
Asked if he though that there was any posibility of arriving at an agreement on the Niosragus question previous to the reassembling of Con- gress, Lord Pauncefate said: Yes, I sincerely hope so. We are now in the midst of negotia tions which, though they have not yet reached any tangible result, show good promise. Natur- ally I cannot disclose details, but I may say that when I return to the United States at the end of October I hope to take with me a Nicaragon Treaty to meet the views of hath the President and the British Government, and it goes with out saying that the President has made himself cognisant of the opinions of the Senate and Secretary of State. There is no good in wasting time ever treaties which the Senate is likely to refuse. Really I believe that the differences of opinion between the two nations are capable of settlement in an agreement fair to both. If I could finish my delightful labours in America by accomplishing this ond I should, indeed, feel gratified but the only way in which this can be attained is step by step, proposition followed by counter-proposition, and eventually the happy medium. It is slow but, I hope, sure. If I thought anything could be done before Oetober I would return prior to that date, bat I do not believe that it would be possible."
The Ambassador here interjected a warm tribute to the Americans.
They Die, he said, "the most genial people on the face of the earth. At the first grip of the hand they take you to their hearts. So long as you do not try to deal underhand with them, so long as you do not assume superior airs, they treat you as ons of their own, and no one can say more."

When asked if the Joint Commission was likely to sit again in Washingt: the Ambassador replied; "Yes I think and trust it will, though it will not until after my retara to Washington. I do not agree with the opinion that the previous scesions of the commission resulted in ng good. The commission threshed out many points of difference between Canada nd the United States, though its inability to agres to the Alaska Boundar, and the sad, sad dan death of Lord Herschell appeared perhaps to nullify its labours. I nes that the Boston Chamber of Commerce has petitioned for reciprocity with Canada. This I regard as a most hopeful sign. It will be one of my sims when I return to endeavour to foster this, desire for closer commercial relations between the Dominion and the United States. I know all the difficulties which stand in the way, but I cannot help thinking that some such arrangement to the mutual advantage of both countries is feasible.
Miss Hobhouse is, I conclade, unaware of how well the Boer women have served, and are still serving, the commandos sa intelligence officers, spies, and eren as decoys. If she know this she would hardly consider their being kept under some supervision a hardship, or wish them to be left at liberty. They cannot appeal to sympathy on the plen of harmless womanhood, for they love proved themselves to be very We may admire their dangerous queries. courage, but they have forfeited the right to be consided non-belligeronts,
There is one point in Miss Hobhouse's atti tude which appears unaccountable. Why is she not touched by the sufferings of those persons who are, and always have been, loyal subjects of the Empire, who wars driven from their homes by the Boers, and who are still enduring as much as or more than the worst cases adduced by her amongst the Boer refugees? Why does she not plead their cause? One fact is, however, evident. If we deliberately post- pone the interests of our loyal subjects to the interests of the Boars the latter will regard our beneficence as savouring of weak conciliation rather than of sympathy.
I would not, however, neglect conciliation when it can be practised in accord with imperial interests. There is an alive broach which I know that the. Boers in the Tsasvaal, and I conclude those in the Orange Biver Colony. will accept. Education for adults, as well as for children, offered under conditions which would facilitate its acceptance, would do more to render the Boors loyal to the Empire and do more to strengthen the loyalty of the already. loyal English Afrikander than all else. It is but little known to those who have not dwelt for years amongst the farming population of the Transvaal that learning is the one thing a Trangyal Boer reverences. I have no accurate knowledge except of the Transvaal, therefore I speak of if alone; but the South African prok-. lom is concentrated in the Transvaal.
The question of adult education is one of poli til emergency rather than of education in the ordinary acceptation of the torm. If we do not occupy the waste fields of adult ignoravoe and not only sow good coed therain, but guard them from the sowing of bad seed by our enemies, there will not be slow in taking advantage of our want of promptitude. They will frastrato our efforts to conquer the country in its schools, and we shall see what has been lost when it is. too late to retrieve it.
