A great sensation has been caused in Madrid society by the arrest of Senor Salustiano Frias, who moved in the best circles in Madrid, and kept an elegant mansion in the Avenue Castellana.

A deputation from the Sydney Chamber of Oommoroe represented to the Premier (Mr Carruthers) the dangers underlying the AntiTrust Bill. The Premier said the Bill practically proposed to raise a wall of prohibition round Australia. His experience in regard to some aspects of Federation was that New South Wales did not get muob consideration. His instincts rebelled against a measure of suoh a character beoause of the powers given by Parliament to officers. He promised to send a report of ibe proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce .to each of the New South Wales members and to the Federal Government. Mr Henley, M.L. A., writes to the Sydney Daily Telegraph that he is profoundly thankful that the latest sample of State Socialism—Governomnibuses—has proved an abject failure, and he adds that it will be interesting to know if the present-day taxpayers are| to pay fcr the blunder, or whether loans are to be loaded on aocount of this foolish experiment. In a f>w months £5,000 has beeu lost, and the valuable time of high officials thrown away by the tinkering policy of interfering in a business that would be much better carried ou by private enternrise. Every one, he adds, oau be wise after the event. He was, however, the only member of the Assembly who offered opposition to the Enabling Bill granting the Commissioners power to engage in this kind of traffic. MERIT REWARDED BY COURT OF JUSTICE.
