OUR LONDON LETTER. (From our own Correspondent)
LONDON, October 31st. SPEECHES..
The air is thick with speeches, and to notice all, even in fact to merely read them, would be to expend eighteen hours in the twenty-four Ormsby... 6 over the reporting columns. But the addresses of Mr. Chamberlain are nearly always worthy of attention, whereof if impartial proof were re- quired, it is but necessary to turn to the pages of the Pro-Boer press, where the briefest public utterance of the Colonial Secretary invariably calls forth a torrent of execration. His reply to 6 Sir H. Campbell-Bannerman's melodramatic tirade, wherein that virtuous politician grieved. to feel the blush of shame invading his 71 unpractised cheek, in consequence of our policy in South Africa, was pointed in inten- 3tion, if humorous in forin. The Colonial Secretary, though be "Saw no objection to Sir Henry blushing, to any shade of crimson, he 11 might prefer, recommended him not to do so,
9 as it would be so unbecoming."

Bat in the two Scotch addresses delivered on Wednesday, Mr. Chamberlain struck a higher, because a less polemical note. At Cupar, he defended the gallant men who, after two years incessant strife and struggle, wherein they carried their lives in daily peril of bullet Sor disease, looked for words of sympathy and

encouragement from England; and learned in stead that a section of their countrymen was engaged in branding them before the world as rumians: whose methods of fighting were i baric, and who wreaked their vengeance for defeats sustained, upon the helpless women and children of the enemy.
Subsequently Mr. Chamberlain reviewed the history of the Transvaal, with which most 40 people ought by now to be familiar, and then in a brief sentence, he summed up the whole cause of the present strife:→→→→

The issue was much greater than any ques tion of franchise, or petty difficulty of the mo- ment. The issue was, whether Boer or Briton should be predominant in South Africa, whether the British flag was to be torn down in order that the Dutch flag might be hoisted in its place, and South Africa become a Dutch 12 Republic." After dealing with the causes of the protongation of the war, chief among which the Colonial Secretary reckons the encourage. ment given by English Pro-Boers, to the Kruger party, Mr. Chamberlain took one glance at the future:--

A scratch game was played by the Hong kong Football Club on their ground at Happy Valley between teams captained by Mr. Ho ward and Mr. Lowe. The play was not as onesided as the result would point out, and although no new players showed themselves to any great advantage, the match will no doubt be a great help to the Committee in picking the Club's team for the coming Shield Com pelition.
Result-Mr. Howard's Team, 5 gaols. Mr. Lowe's Tenni, 1 coal.
The following played for the winning team :- Goal, C. T. Kew: Backs, W. H. Howard and C. HP Hay: laff Backs, W. T. Caulfield, U. Macdonald and Davies; Forwards, J. D. Danby, D. M. Graham, Von der Plordten and

The man in the street has an almost ludicrous faith in Lord Milner, an unbounded admiration and respect-but little feeling of personal affec tion. It is this absence of enthusiasm, of in- dividual popularity, which differentiates between Lord Milner's place in the mind of Londos, and that of all other celebrities, and if the question be raised as to his future work in South Africa, the answer comes from men's lips, with scarcely less vagueness, and even greater con fidence, than from the four year old in the nursery he will "do things.”
The chief point of the Durban speech on Tuesday, was, the recommendation that normal civil life should be resumed as soon as possible, and without further waiting for a complete, settlement, which might still be distant, although the war was undoubtedly' "burning itself out." With this last comment Lord Kitchener. has fexpressed himself, in accord, notwithstanding the heavy fighting of; which he this week sent home a report.
SIK ANDREW CLARKE'S RECEPTION..
in Portland Place on Tuesday, in honour of his namesake, the new Governor of Vic- toria, was of more than formal interest by reason of the personality of the host. Although a radical in home politics, Sir Andrew is an ardent Imperialist, and in truth has done his share in shaping the destinies of the Empire in certain far distant outposts. To China folk he will, to all time be the man who made the Straits Settlements, by uniting the many Malay States into one harmonious whole. Be hin self considers this work by far the most im portant service he has been able to render the Empire, though owing to the abyssmal igno- rance of stay-at-hoine Englishmen, respecting all that concerns our possessions in the Far East, it is a service for which he receives little credit. With Australians however, the case is Gifferent-Sir Andrew Clarke (who was the first member for Mourne in the orignal Victorian Parliament) is appreciated at something like his real worth down under, and the message which he addressed a few weeks ago to his native land will receive due weight; and this message it indirectly addressed to British China also.
"There is no country in the world that ought to take a greater interest in the future progress" of China and Japan, and in British policy in relation to them, than Australia. The position of China and the Eastern question generally, must, sooner, or later, be an Australian question, aud it 15 to the interest of the Commonwealth, that the understanding between Great Britain, and the Eastern nations should be of the closest and most thorough description. A good under- standing is indeed vital both to Great Britain and to Australia" į
This pronouncement will not be without effect in the Commonwealth, but some judicious com mercial activity on the part of the Southern China ports, might quicken and sustain the interest Sir Andrew sought to arouse. For example, a year or two ago, I mentioned to a friend in. Melbourne, my preference for China tea and was surprised to learn that no one at the table, had ever tasted it. A month or so after wards, I was at the same house again, sad my hostess remarked that, in the interim she had iried everywhere to get China tea, and failed, but, at they had Japanese tea, and said it was just the same so I bought that, but we don't care for it."
Of course tea can be obtained in the shops of the native quarter but no European lady' ever enters a Chinese store in Melbourne. No doubt there are also wholesale houses-but readiness of access, the essential of successful trading, does not exist at least did not a little while ago. Good ginger, both wet and dry also, to mention but one other article, was sot as plentiful as the demand would justify Moreover, speaking generally Australians seem
Japan, than with China in respect of all those goods, which both countries can supply.
THE SMALL-POX OUTBREAK
is a patriotic body all too little known in Enged to be more in touch commercially, with land, and the Empire generally. The object of the organization is to provide nurses and medical comforts for Britans who are Empire- building at the ends of the earth-those grand pioneers of our race whom no other nation has ever produced in like number or quality. Many of these men, after years of laborious toil in uncongenial climates, are struck down by dis
ease in remote localities where doctors are
few, nurses non-existent; and thus lives of great value to the State, although perhaps un known to the world, are lost, for lack of a skilled woman's hand in the hour of need.
The Colonial Nursing Association is striving to remedy this condition of affairs, and much good work has already been done in the supply of qualified women to our more distant Colonies, for the lending of cases remote from ordinary civilization; but much has had to be left un touched for lack of funds.
