LONDON, June 2. The announcement that President Taft bad offered the American Legation at Peking to Mr. John Hays Hammond, the ex-fameson raider, and 3,916.70 mining export of collossal facs, roused great interest here, and the rofusal of Mr. Hammond to nocept the post has not pat an ond to it. He would have taken it, I hear, but for the positive orders of his doctor to "go slow," doubt the advice was necessary, for before and after being condemned to death by the Boors for for samo ilays past I propose to follow the tanations which proved in the course of the his part in the Janisor Raid he has had aux custom to take them a read.

Before moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts for the year 1908 I shall be pleased to naswor any question that may be put to me to the best of my ability.
Mr. BLAKE-There is one item on the balance shoot, Mr. Chairman, that I would like to draw attention to, and that is, bad and doubtful debts. I think the amount shown is enormous, and that with a little care this could be greatly reduced As we all know, there are certain individuals going round in this Colony getting credit without having any intention of paying. The CHAIRMAN We fully appreciate all you
