Such conditions, as one of the papers has pointed out, "will be far more obvious in the keen eye of the business man than to a be-spectacled official," Accord Ingly, the Commissioners will be" exclusively drawn from the ranks of business men. It is at this point that the greatest difficulty will be experienced. There are few people of qualifying capacity who would be able or wilkog to leave their work for the space of almost a year, and the promoters of the scheme complain of Its apsibetic reception in this respect. On the other hand, so far as the guarantee of expenses goes, the expedition would mainly be financed by the private enterprise of manufacturers. Large subsidies have already been promised by persons engaged to Important branches of trade. The Ratcharag will probably be asked to sanction special vote of £15co to the Home Department for general economic purposes, and for the partial defrayal of the costs of the Commission. This Commercial Travellers! Commission is another aspect of the growing communication between Germs producers and the markets in China and Japan. It is perhaps too early, before the personnel of the expedition is setiled, to discuss fis commercial Importance. But the point which is particularly Insisted upon, if any degres of success is to be kitaloed, is the exclusion of the bureaucratic element and the direction and composition of the Commission by expert manufacturers alone. It is felt, thero lo a trek al practical knowledge in

The Admiralty have ordered that the new first- class cruiser Diadem, naw building, by the Fairfield Shipbuilding Company, Glasgow, li to be sent to Devonport to be attached to the Fleet Reserve there, și soon as she is ready to leave the contractor. She was laid down in January last, and is to be ready to proceed to Plymouth lu January, 1898. - Thin order is regarded as indicating the intention of the Admiralty to assure the completion of one of the new docks formleg part of the Keybam extension scheme by the end of next year, as it would be imposible to accommodate the vessel in either of the #xisting docks, the Diadem being 435 feet long, whilst Devonport's largest deck is only 400 leet long. The Diadem, a'crolier of 11,000 tons and 16,500 (natural draught) indicated borse power, in the forerunner of a type of cruiser of an entirely now design, intended to be sa improvement on the Powerful and Terrible class, which have been unfavourably criticised in noise quarters In consequence of their great length-ção feet. The Diadem's armament will consist entirely of quick- firing guns, the breech-leading guns of great call bre that hitherto have been the principal weapons

CHINESE CUSTOMS DUTIES.
The following letter appears in the' London and China Express of 27th November :---
practical unanimity amongst British commercial SIR-I sea in your last farus that there is u bodies as to agreeing to the increase of Customa Duties in China, on the understanding that this increase shall be the sole chaige levied, and cover lekim, transit, or any other duty or impost whatever. This spanimity of optulon shows clearly that we British must have forgotten erary- thing, and learned nothing, during the past forty years' experience of China and its government. It will be the easiest thing possible to increase the Customs Duties, but no power in this world will ever be able to compel or induce the Chinese Government to fulfil its part of the bargain. The only good result from the change will be that a state of thingy will he arrived at which wil force on a war, and bring about the destruction of the Imperial Government. Whether Great Britain, France or Russia accomplish this end, there can be no doubt that the Chinese people will greatly benefit from such a catastrophe to their corupt and utterly incorrigible oppressors. Yours faithfully,
