GENERAL CABLES.

BRITISH REVENUE. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) (Received 8.5 a.m.) London, October 1. The British revemfe for the quarter was £38,797,700. Customs contributed £8,161,000, excise £8,568,000, stamps £2,443,000, income tax £3,174,000. AUSTRALIAN OLYMPIC CREW. London, October 1. The Daily Mail, commenting on the interview at Sydney with Middleton, coach of the Australian Olympic crew, wherein he claimed that the-. Stockholm course alone heat the Australians in the race with Leander, says the attack is petulant and lacking in sportsmanship. Leander always -stood for the best in amateur sport and did not need an apology. The difference between the Australians and Leander at the stations at Stockholm was only three or four inches, and it was ungenerous to say Leander refused the Daily Mail suggestion of another race fearing defeat impossible. If he could afford the time, Leander would also have rowed in two races on the final day. WIRELESS. London, October 1. The Marconi Company successfully demonstrated to the Admiralty, the Post Office, and the War Office officials the high-speed automatic transmission between Chelmsford and P-oldhu. Messages were received on the recording cylinder. CANADA’S NAVAL CONTRIBUTION. Ottawa, October 1. It is practically certain that Canada will contribute an emergency amount to the British Naval Fund, withholding the fixing of a general policy until next session of Parliament. MILITARY TRAINING IN AUSTRALIA. (Received 12.10 p.m.) London, October 1. Major Crouch, in an article in the Army Review, says enormous difficulties in ''connection with the introduction of compulsory military training in Australia have been surmounted with remarkably little friction. Response to the law was hearty and sympathetic, and the lads were vastly improved. ANOTHER PAPER’S VIEW. The Pall Mall Gazette, referring to the statement by Middleton, coach of the Australian Olympic crew, that had certain conditions been abided by, the Australians would have beaten Leander, says the attack is as ridiculous as it is remarkable.
