little or no basis in the hearts of the native population. The only difference between the presont state of so-called peace and the previous state of war is a difference between 60,000 soldiers and 40,000; and no genuine progress toward an actual state of peace and substantial relief from the military burden we have taken upon ourselves seems to be possible under the ́existing policy.".

PARIS, October 19th. After many unsuccessful trinis Santos-Du- mant to-day made the circuit of Eiffel tower in his airship; but the committes having the affair in charge refused to give him the 100,000 france offered as a reward because he failed to make the trip in the required time.

THE CHINESE EGG.

By way of a reasonable rest of the sincerity of the Freetrade party, it would be interesting to have it define its attitude towards that com paratively recent invader, the Chinese egg, says the Sydney Bullitin. Though the Chinaman may be objectionable en moral grounds, the Chinese egg is as moral as any other egg, aud probably as healthy; and it has to be objected to for fiscal reasons or not at all. It is a comparatively recent in stitution in N.S. Wales-that general dump- ing-ground of the refuse of all nations. 1896 the Chow, of China proper and Hong-

Numbers of onlookers protested against this announcement in lively terms, but the Count de Dion anid: "That is the decision of the committee, in accordance with, the rules of the contest."

,

The crowd, however, refused to accept this view, and a warm discussion ensted, the majority of the spectators taking the ground that Santos-Dumont was entitled to the prize because he had reached the grounds within thirty minutes, although he had not descended immediately.

The aeronaut, after protesting against the decision of the committee, finally shrugged his shoulders and remarked: "Anyway, I do not care personally for the 100,000 francs... I intended to give it to the poor."

The crowd persisted in declaring that Santos- Dumont had won. A number of ladies who were present threw flowers over the aeronaut. Others offered him bouquets, and one admirer to the amusement of the onlookers, even pre-

At this moment M. Deutsch himselt arrived at the club grounds, having shortly before reached Paris. He advanced, embraced Saptos- Dumont, shook hands with him and said: "For my part, I consider that you have won the prize."

In 1896, the Chinaman supplied less than 3 per cent. of the Cornstalk egg Imports; while in 1900 he furnished over 12 per cent. The reason is obvious enough. The declared value of the Chinese egg is just about half that of other imported eggs, and by extra cheapness the Mongol in wiping the floor with his competitors. Even after paying freight and all charges, his product is declared to cost only about half as much landed in Sydney as the local article costs. Of course the retail buyer doesn't get the Chinese egg visibly cheaper than any other kind, but the middle-man makes a large profit out of it: therefore, while it is obtainable (and it is ob- tainable in steadily increasing quantities) he isn't likely to buy the local product. And the Sydney Telegraph is much interested in the local product. On a Saturday its poultry advertisements often run to two or three closely-printed columns. It gets up hon-laying competitions, and it has a hen- column, and it enjoys a largo circulation

Santos-Dumont claims he won the prize because he reached the park within the time, and that the original rules governing the contest made no mention of having to touch the ground within the thirty minutes.

The dispute is due to the action of the com- mittee, which some time ago modified the terms of the contest by inserting the latter stipulation. Santos-Dumont at the sima pro- tested and refused to be bound by the fresh regulations, and strenuously upheld this view with the Count de Dion and other members of the committee on descending to-day, finally declaring that he considered that he had won the prize and would not try again. If the money was withheld it was not his fault.

M. Deutsch said he would give 25,000 franci to the poor, notwithstanding the decision of the
