tween a Post-Office and a Company subscriber. The cost for unlimited service on elther line is 17 par annum, which is a low? pounds dearer than in Melbourne, Australia, or £4 per annum, and a penny each call if that system: be preferred. In this case 30/- per annum is to be the minimum payable for calls.

There is no doubt that London is very much behind the times in its telephonic arrange. ments, and the cost for a private connection is ridiculously high for the greatest trading city- of the world; so the measure of advance in- dicated by the present scheme must be thank fully received as an earnest of better things to come-in another century perhaps. . ....

Even more important is the adoption of Mr. Yerkes'

NEW UNDERGROUND RAILWAY SCHEME, about which there has been so much wrangling during the last six months. The contracts being how signed; it can be affirmed with more ar less certainty that by January 1905 the deep level line below the present District track will be in working order, and'express trains, stop- ping at alternate stations, will be running to the cily from the suburbs every fiye minutes.. Passengers will descend to the deep level by lifts, as now they go down to the Tube plat- forms, and there will be a uniform 'fare of two- pence for five miles and under, and a halfpenny more for any further distance. As in the Tube, the deep level railway will abolish, classes-- all men can thus travel first!!

THE NEW WATEK-MOVE

is another indication that this dear sleepy Lon- don is waking up to the needs of modern life. For a long time, it has been suggested that the County Council ought to control the water supplies of London, for which purpose, it has been argued many times and by divers persons, that the Council should buy out the monopolists with their effete methods; but the enormous cost, which would run probably into fifty mil- lions, has precluded any move in that direction. Now, however, a new Daniel has arisen in the collective person of the Metropolitan Radical- Federation, which argues, that purchase is unnecessary, and that all the Council has to do is to obtain permission from Parliament to sup- ply water, and then proceed to do the work so thoroughly well that the antediluvian com- panies would simply be competed. out of the business. There is very little doubt that this way is legally admissible, for a wise Legislature has invariably refused to give any Company a statutory monopoly to supply any district in London.

Hard on the top of all this municipal and local activity comes a renewal of last year's demand for protection of our unskilled work- men against, the ever increasing tide of un- desirable alien immigrants. The "British Brothers' League," of which the object is to bring about the legal restriction of the number of destitute foreigners daily arriving in London, is unsectarian, and has no politics.

Secing that

36,000 ALIEN ARTIŞANS entered London during the month of Septem- ber, it must certainly be admitted that the subject is a considerable one. These people undersell our own working classes, taking starvation wages: living, as foreigners can, on Tandel.unspeakable decoctions which do not serve to

OUR LONDON LETTER. (From Our Own Correspondent.)

LONDON, November 22nd. IMPROVEMENTS."

For the moment, the Capital of the Empire seems to have turned its eyes away from the dark cloud of foreign malice, hatred, and all uncharitableness, away from the weary strife in South Africa, to a contemplation of the needs, and coming improvements in our own; midst.

Telephones, Water Supply, Foreign Immi- gration, Railway Affairs, and Trade Unionism, have bulked large in the programme of the past week.
