THE TRANSVAAL. Londow, May 3, In the House of Lords, Sir H. B. Loch, explaining the statement by the Pretoria correspondent of the Paris Temps, said the residents of Johanes burg urgently requested him to visit ' the town, pleading the grievances they | were suffering from. President Kruger I dissuaded him, fearing the Governor's presence might lead to an outbreak. He, however, received a deputation at Pretoria, to whom he pointed out the futility of attempting a rising with a thousand rifles only to depend on, He did not offer to assist them, and the statement m La Temps was wholly unfounded. The newspaper! comment ing on the explanation admit that Sir H. B. Loch is perfectly correct. THE STOKES AFFAIR.

The Premier has received a reply from Mr Ward with referenoe to the tax on Tictorian commercial travellers m New Zealand. Mr Ward says he is unable to agree with the statements that the tax seriously affects the trade of Victorian merchants m New Zea land, and asks Mr Turner to consider the effect the exemption of non-resident traders m New Zealand would have upon the local merchants who are subject to the income tax. He adds that the tax was imposed m conse quence of tbe difficulty experienced by representatives of non-resident mer chants m making a return of the business done and profits derived therefrom. He has carefully watched the effect of the tax, and he has had many representations on the matter, but at present he regrets to say that he does not consider it advisable to make any alteration.

Prevention is Better 'than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Aslibmton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions "' that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century * of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m Borne villages ; and m Prussia, no less lhan one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being t*ke» m the experiments of the French Doctors, Bonx and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or tfie poison's which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes sn absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child cau do «york which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an|absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. Improyed Copper Boilers. I have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame— galvanised.
