A HOME JOURNALIST.Mr. Rylett, who vi*ns received with

loud applause, said ,thl» W&w a wonder*ful country. It drew sound radical prin-ciples for countries other thnn itself.(A voico i "Eveiy time,") Though suchadvice, when npplied to tho Old Country,might seem ;iko teaching your grand-mother to stick egga, It wnd at tho snmotime profoundly true that the O.tl Coun-try hnd noed to draw level with thopolitical thought of this colony. ThoOld Country wn»lwatching keenly thepolitical career of this colony, and wher-ever anything was applicable to the OldCountry, the Motherland wou'd not hesi-tato to follow tho oxamplc of her youth-ful family. He gathered from the waythey gavo tho Old Country counsel, thosein the colony could do without counsel.(Laughter.) Ho therefore haidly knowhow to ndtlress this Interesting meeting,(Applause.) Ho formed one of what waaat llrst a wna'.l group of persons whoopposed the South African War. Ho didnot wish to hint any one's feelings inthis respect, Many, especially from thecolonies, took part in the war from highnnd honourable motivos ( but the niflincause of present events in the Old Coun-try was disillusionment as to the genuinoobject of thnt war, now seen to bo oneof the most sordid and needless. Therown6 no doubt tho telegraphic agencies inSouth Africa wero very largely influencedby interested persons, As far ns thecables published in New Zenlntid wereconccrnodj ho did not know how thosefrom South Africa were, but the cab'.esfrom tlip Old Country itself voro oh thewhole fair nnd nccufnto. Tho fact thattho disillusionment hnd reached the colo-nies would be hnilcd with joy in theOld Country. The giving of sc'.f-govern-ment to South Africa would mean thocordial acceptance by Boer and Britonof the ordbr of things. The cure of nil

.political trouble?f vms liberty, (Ap-'"'jilnuso ) ][io wns glad lo know" that Sir'Henry Cnnipbell-Bannormnn tfns soundon the question of self-government, notonly for South Africa but for Irc'and.(Applause. A voico \ What aboutIndirt?) There wns no ilYrmcdinte lieedin rwpect of India. (Cries of in-credulity.) Liberals were nc\tr nft'hid toapply Liberalism. Thorn would in timobo an application of Lihoral piinciplesto India as well as to South Africa andIreland. Tlioy cou'd depend on it thattho Liberal Government would not tnkefrom India, any of its self-governingpowers, which the lftte Government did.New Zealand had mnde many interest-ing nnd profitable experiments, and berejoiced that Now Zealnndprs wefe de-termined thnt tho colony should not beruined by large estates as Italy was.(Applause.) ,

LABOUR'S SHAUE.Mr. I). M'L.iren claimed tho privilege

of adding to tiny Liberals ns participants|in the present triumph the name of lhoILnbour party. (Applause,) Up or down,they had always found him with theLabour party. (Amtku»e.) It wttf»necessary that tho Liberal party'shouldmoveon, and the Labour party hnd beeneducating.' lto attributed the rWfltlt ofmany c-f the elections at Home to theunemployed nnd iht'iv lnbour movement.

Mr. Kennedy supported th'c resolution.Mr. I'otider. a Labour member of the

South Australian l'nrlinmcnt, testified tothe advantages nf this country. As nresult of this meeting and tho reportthereof similar meetings would behold inMelbourne, Hyducy, Adc-lnlde, Brisbane,and Porth> n'ul would greatly strengthenj the hands of 'Liberalism and Lnbour at1Home, In Australia they looked to NewZoainnd for progress,

The molioii waft carried by n perfectforest of upraised linnds, ami withoutnhnnd rniaed in dis.asnt.

On the motion of Mr. J. T). Sicvwrighl,a vote of thanks to the speakers was pass-ed, nnd on the motion of Mr. O'Regan,it wn« decided to tiiblo the resolution ioSir llp-nry Cainplirll-Barincrninn, (Avoices "You hnd better sign thnt enblo'the three tailors of Toolcy'Stieet.'")

OUR RIVAL ARGENTINA.SHEEP AND DAIRYINU ASPECTS.

INTERESTINQ FACTS ABOUT THECOUNTRY.

Mr. W.H, Fifzherbert, son of Mr. W.A. l'iUherbei-t, of tho Hult, arrived inWellington lust week after tin absence ofabout threo Fal

'8 in ArBenUnn» wllcro

In is engaged in farming. Inletviewedby an Evening Post reporter, Mr. Fitz-herbert had some interesting imprcwionsto record, from tho valuable standpointof aNew Zealander who knows both tlicland of his birth and that of his adop-tion. Mt'i Fitzherbert tells a. roseate talebut ho tells fb in a plain 'level-headedway that carries conviction to an extentthat no amount of flowery languagocould, Tho "general effoot of hi» impres-Rions is that Argentina's natural advan-tages for cattle tire.likely to lessen theextent of her, competition in frozen mut-ton, in that she,,will,'not expbrt thoquantity, thotfgli the quality- is quitewithin her pencil, iAs' to dairying^, theindustry in Argentina is too young- toprophesy, but there is aprobability thatit will seriously compete with -New Zea-land. Then Argentina has tho advan-tages of proximitj to markets, cheaplabour, cheap lana, and Wealthy land-holders who spend freely where,they,seea return. It is ft splendid country' for «man with means.

COMPETITION rN MUTTONLIMITED.

"I don't think they will ever get ftquality 'that will do New Zealand 'anyreal damage," aaid Mr. Fitzherbert, re*ferring to tho Argentine export of frozenmutton. "Most of tho new land open-ing up in the west and north k entirelyfor cattle. It is all in the rough, and

,tho plan is to take crops,off it for twoor threo years,then to put in the alfalfa.This pasture is chiefly for cnttle, forthough you can fatten sheep off it forgiven periods, if you keep them on alf-alfa' all the year round they ruin it.There is only a limited nrea of iheepcountry—that is, speaking comparative*ly, for its extent is very great— and itis located in the south. Tho chief reasonof prosent inferiority in quality of Ar-gentino mutton as compared with thobest Now Zealandis that until late yearsthey have not gone in for mutton sheepat all, but all for wool. Another thingis that the average runholder does notknow any other clnss of sheep. With allthe freezing works which outside capitalis putting up in Argentina, they havestarted going in for sheep for mutton,"

"Now that they have darted breedingfor1 mutton, can they get up to us inqualityI"

"Yes5 it is only n, matter of time.Tlio litmb trade Is nothing at all at pre-sent, but they ,aro starting on that, andwill very soon got a good supply of

'lambs. 1'tfflSTS.— BHKtf PROSPECTS,

"It has been said that with faulty ad«ministration and individual carelessnessposts are getting nu ifremovablo hold.la that so?""No, Soab is th6worst sheep trouble,but it is easy to get rid of it, Itis onlya matter of keeping at it> and dipping.The worst feature is that the small people—what Wo call cockatoos— don't trouble.You get your flock clean, but your neigh-bour does not."

"What about cattle?""Tho quality of tho cattlo is as good

as anywhero in tho world, Tho, peoplehave from the first understood the busi-ness better than sheep, and have bredwith much more discrimination. Theybuy all the best bulls from England, aj,tremendous piices. At the last show onebull sold for 37,000 dollars (about £3500)and another for 40,000 dollars. The Ar-gentine dollar used to vary from Is 8dto 2s, but for tho last couple of yearshas been fixed at about Is Bd, ArgeMinobeef has the advantage of proximity tothe Homo and South African n&rkclß,which enables it to be sont in tho chilledform. Tho liyo stock trade to Britainhas been prohibited, not because of Buf-fering of tho stock en route— they oftenimptovo on the voyage— but because ofthe prevalence of foot-and-mouth diseasein Argentina, which disease can easilybe coped with if gone about tho rightway. Tho prohibition affected Argentina1

severely for awhile, but theynro gettingthe beef tomarketchilled, freezingwoikshave been established only In the pastfew years, and thero are now six bigone?, very up-to-date. Tho biggest worksrepresents South African capital, and isuoi'kod by Australians,

A MIXED POPULATION."Thobig landholdersare largely Argon.

tln&, Spanish, and English. The smallonesare largely Basques (fromtho countryof the Pyrenees) and Italians, It is avery mixod population—lsuppose aboutthe most cosmopolitan in the world.There area groat many Italiansand Ger-mans. Tiie great bulk of tho capital in-ve«ted In Argentina in British, and thoBritish colonist is maintaining his placein the march of development. Big land-holdeis mg largely cutting up theirestates, for dairying or pasturo or crop-ping purposes. There is plenty of cheaplabour, the staple of which is a sort ofSpanish half-breed, more Argentino thanSpanish. Those men arc splendid withcattlo, but know very little about shoep.The usual way of btcaking in rough land(1.0,, land not covoicd with forest, butwith a sort of coai'sn grass) is to l«a»oit to what arc called colonists, largelyRussians or Italian, whocrop it (wheat orbailey) for two or three years,and undertheir agveomont with tho ownor itay putin,ulotin with the lost crop, alfalfa Boed,Thoy take oul the crop, give tho land aspoil, find then tho alfalfa comes in,Tho font paid by tho colonies tflkes thoform of aproportion of thecrops, gay one-third. This i« tho cheapest wayof break.Ing In mich land, though soinoMmps it isploughed and worked and tho alfalfa putstraight in. Crops grown for export arowhenf., barley, and linseed. They arenow going in for rape, turps,etc.

DAIRYING AND CHI?A,P LABOUR."Tho dairying Industry has been on a

footing for export purposes for aboutfour youts, tuuV llicro aro four big fac-tories, The country is wellsuited, but itis as yet hard to say how seriously Ar-gentina will compete with Now Zealand jbut she must cortuinly bo reckoned on aspiobably a dangerous competitor.Labour being much cheaper, tho articleenn be produced much ehoapor. UnlikeNew Zealand, whero It must bo a familyindustry, in Argentina dairying may bo,ipaid industry and yot a profitable one.Timwool, though it is alwayssold locally,nil goes oversea, Thoro aro no woollenfactories in AijicnHnn) vory fow manu-factures of any sort."

RAND-SLAVERY'THE RALLYINGPOINT.

LAST NIGHT'S PUBLIC MEETING.

A full house below-, and a considerableattendance in the circle, greoted thopromoters of tho public meeting in thoConcert Chamber^ of the Town Hall last

.night. The object was to send from New{{calami, a« a British colony interestedinexpelling from tho Empire forced Chineselabour, a word of '■ncouragement and aidto tho Libornl-Labour Party at Ilomo.Tho idea was taken up with enthusiasm)and tho resolution was carried with «c»claiiwtion, > " " . , ,

't

Mr, Finlay M'Leod presided, and. the<,«peakei'S occupied seats 'on the"platform):Mr. P. J. O.|Regan that thej"movement,originated .with Messrs];M'Leod,Johfi'Hutcheabii,nnShimself, andshad beoti gob up ratHov hurrJedlyi The»peeohe» opened with deelftinattons by

■ .Messrs' O'R%\n and' Hutcheson, after

whichMr. BL.Ryletktthe visiting Home;jdurfialist! "fe'eeittly interviewed in the

tEtening 'Post} followed 'in gontto andmore humorous vein. Mr, D, M'Larenputinaword for labour, Mr.Martin Ken-nedy spoke;of the misfortunes of arbitrary,rule In Ireland, and Mr. Ponder, senior

"member for Adelaidein the South Austra-lian Parliament, just now on ft visit toNew Zealand, gave a tnoughtful' and lm^pressiVfc address in support of tho objectof the meeting.

THE MESSAGE HOME.Tho resolution carried (to be cabled

Homo to tho Liberal leader, Sir HenryCampboll-Bnnnerman) is as follows:

—"That whereas the late British Gov-

ernment, at the dictation of a smallnumber of capitalists, has seen fit tointroduce Chinese coolie labour intoThe Transvaal, on the protehce thatthe richest gold«minos in the worldwould not pay if freo white labourworo employed, and wheieas such apolicy is at variance with tho senti-ment and traditions of the Britishrace, this moeting of Wellington citi-zens hereby expresses itshearty sym-pathy with the policy of tho BritishLiberal Party, as unfolded by itsleader, Sir Henry, Campbell-Banner-man, and trusts that, for the snko ofthe honour and good namo of theEvnphe, that policy,willbe endorsedby the electors"of Great Britain andIreland."The Chairman «aid that if the Homo

elections were fought in ordinary condi-tions, tho promoters of this meetingwould doclin© to interfere in those elec-tions, B.ut in this caso the colonies hadbeen drawn into the political strife, andthg right was claimed* therefore, to putforward their views on this occasion.After what was done in the war, it wastobe thought thab the voico of this colonywould bo cohsiderod beforo introducingOhiiteso into South Africa. But the mag'nates of the Rand,supportedby tho ToryGovernment of England, had ,put theChinese there, which was tho roward ofthe colonie? for having assisted in thotfar. (Appl,,n«e,) The gentlemen wholid this thing were the same gentlemen<frho proposed 'the' fiscal alterations abtho cost of increasing the price of foodih the Old Country, a. thing that thecotoiiies wottld Meter tolerate- at the ex-pfehi-'e of the Homo worker. (Applause)Among tho speakers would, ha hoped, bo

'Sir Joseph Ward. (Sir Joseph did notarrive.)TRIUMPH OF SELF-GOVERNMENTPARTY.

Mr, P. J. O'Regan regretted that thomeeting hadnot been convenedby oflicidlcitizens ft* well as unofficial citzehs, Hoheld that thd worstmanin tlm world wastoo good, to be ft slavo. (Applause) Un.til the introduction of Chinese tothoRandit hadbeen theproudboastof Britain {hatsince tho days of Wilberforco no slaveryexisted in the British Empire. It hadbeen said on the authority of a Bishopthat it was a gross exaggeiation to sa>that there was slavory on the- Rnnd, Thosome Bishop said about five years ago |that 05 p<3r cent; of the American people |Were Opposed to thoBoors, whichwag nottrue. 'The bulk of the American peopleWore opposed to tho war, Tho Bishopmade that statement, like thta one, onhis own aitlhority. Mr, O'Regan mam-talned that confinement incompounds amitho conditions of the Chinese in SouthAfrica were certainly slavery. Tho con.trflct could hot bo enforced at law. Mr.O'Regan proceeded to attack Mr. Cham-berlain for his responsibility for the statoof affairs in South African and for theflsfiat movement at Home. Ho deniedthat the Colonies had asked for that move,ment. The coloniesdidnot wish to inter-fere with the self-government of theHomopoople. (Applause.) Tho cables showod,lie Was glad to Ray, that protection atHorns was not only dead but damned.(Applause.) The pooplo of tho colonieswould never acquiesco in either policy ofMr, Chamberlain. A tribute to SirHenry Campbell-Banndrman here calledforth loud applause Mr. O'Regan ie-ferret! to the cable messagesreceived fromSouth Africa, alleging that such mes-sages cattie from ft tainted sourco. Theywere told Sir Henry was a pro-Boer,butho ventured to predict that Sir Henrywouldmnke a far better Premier thaniur. Chamberlain. Tho Liberal triumphat Home ho rejoiced in, not oilly becauseof the liberationof South Africa,but bo-cause of the advancement of Homo Rule1and tho triumph of democracy. He re-joiced' that the Irish Parly was pnr«licipßting in tho Liberal triumph. (Ap«pluuse). Ho also rojoicod* that of IrishHomo Rulers not ono voted for tho Chi-nese Labour Ordinance. Ho moved themotion ns above,

PRO-BOERH THEN AND NOW:Mr. Hutchcson, in seconding themotion, compared this present, day of re-

joicing with those other days nf rejoicingat the rfrno nf (ho war, If, was a vastlydifferent kind of rojoiuing, for now Nome-sis was on the back of thoso who em-broiled us in the moM, infamous and vain-glorious war Mint, evor diogrnccd ourcountry. (Applause.) "I'm a pro-Boornow, and Iwas then," nuid Mr Htitelicflon nmld unpiause On tho platform(indicating Mr, Rylctt) sat a man who,by his courage and confidence in thotriumph of right, hiul uphold him in liisattitude. Mr, Rylctd wnn editor of oneof the whitest papers that ever showedhn pttges to the light of day, tho NewAge, Tlibro wouldhavo boon no war ofoppression in South Africa If his wordshad been heeded, In this Mr. Rylctfcwns (insisted by a whole galaxy of 'bril-liant journalists who were now lendingthem oh to victory. Tho meeting had,nmemblcd to urgo the people at Horn*to give to those who were asking for itn GWl.Mlonkn majority. (Apphiuse.) Hohoped for th« futnro evrry thing wasbright before t,hn people of the Old hand,thtit they would never avjaln »co BritishCabinet Ministers In collusion with theUfltid magnate*, Were James Bryct1,John Moi\oyi and John Burns the norLof %iflh' who would not find something

Comparison of Colour.If you were askedthe question,

"Is there anydifferencein the colour

I of ilio various brands of laundry blue on the market ?" your answerI would probablybe "No 1 there isn't I" and you wouldbe quite wrong,

for there is a difference."Royal Blue," or "Empire Blue,"

Asit is more familiarlycalled, is not so dark as tho others. Theaccuracyof this statement can be easilyproved.

Compare anob of"Empire Blue

"with a nob of any other brand,

and you will readily see that "Empire Blue" is of a lighter colour. Ifyoumoisten

"Empire Blue"

with a drop of water, it will look just asdark as the other,

The difference incolouris easilyexplained:"Empire Blue"contains

less moisture and less foreign matter than the others—- it is purer andtherefore possesses greaterbleachingpropertiesi"

Since you buy laundryblue for bleaching purposes, you want thebest your moneycanbuy, Your grocer sells " Empire Blue."

Wedne«d»y, 17th January, 1006,

The fltst point of exception taken by thoAuditor refers to n trilling amount, nndneed only be mentioned lo omphnsido theduty of the Auditor to direct nttelitioli tonny transaction which, inhis view, is con-trary to lnw or infringes n principle, ir-respective of the sum involved. Tlio dif-ferenco in this inslanee iB confined to thntof legul interpretation, no question oitno equitable diameter of the payment (ftrefund on account of wholesale licenseefee) npparently Mng involved.

Tho next clause ol the Auditor's roportrelates to the practice of making np de-flcieliccs in tho scpnrnto expense accountsof n constfliit character, such ns Library,nndHospital nnd Charitable Aid,andalsothose of loans for works, ns Htieet-widen-ing, Tramways, etc., ostensibly out ofgeneral revenue, whioh is, however, re-couped improperly, as pointed out by theAuditor in the 4th and sth paragraphs ofhis certificate. The extent to which thepractice'of supplementing loans in thismanner is carried is ilhwlratedi by thoamount expended in excess of loan pro-ceeds on the. worksmentioned, respective-ly £46,734 nnd £25,767. It is, of coinse,difficult to gtiugerequirements exactly insomo cases,nnd theapplication'of generalrevenue to a limitedextent,nndin specialclrcumstnnccfl, where tho special rotesprove inadequate to meet demands,would meet vith no serious objectionsnor Mould nny exception likely bo takento tho construction in a small degreo of■noiksout of revenue if it did not undulydrain the resources of tho ratepayers.It is tho regular system lo which thosopractices nro leduced, and the illegal re-cuperation of tho General Account, whichconstitute its objectionable features, nndthough, ns the Council's officers contend,itmay not bo illegnl to apply tho genciaireveniio in this way,it is fllogal to getitback, to be used for gonernl purposes,until nny loan responsibilitos which existinconnection with theparticular accountsto which they have been allotlod nre fullymot.

Tho thirdnote of disapprobationrefersto the bnnk overdraft, which, (he Coim*cil'fi solicitor advises, i,« not illigil. How'ever that may boas to the letter, it iscertainly contrary to tho spirit of the l«w,which is thnl a borough having once gotrid of tho incubus of its overdraft \yborrowing to pay it, fehall theieaftcr livewithin its income. Unless tho Council'sofficers can show thnt the overdraft is alegacy from Melrose, or consequent onthe amnlgnmation withIhnt borough withtho city, their legal argument is immntoti*nl, and cannot bo seriously regarded.Under the fourth head the illegal appro-priation of the surpluses (nmounling to£16,000) from «pedal rates to generalpurposes i<t admitted, This is anotherphase of the pooling system of the Councilto which we hnvo nlrendy leferred. Themo^t heinous of tho olTenws enumeratedby Iho Auditor-General is tho unlawfulnnd unprincipled use of lo«ii monies, ortheir cquivnlent, for purposes foreign tothnt for which the mtney wns originallyborrowed. This glaring disregard of thodistinction between capital nnd revenuecan only bo unequivocally condemned,and hns already been denounced in ourcolumns, The Auditor-General has un-doubtedly sustained tho gravamen of hischarges completely, but it is neverthelessto bo .regretted (linthis requirements inconnection with tho management of thejlnnncos and accounts have in someimportant respects ihllen very far short ofwhnt i<s eswntial to abuslhess-liko audit,nnd demanded by the public interest, aswo shall show Inter, It will be notedthat, in our issue of yesterday tho TownClerk has elaboratedhis defence of theCouncil1*!1

*! methods of finance, but his ar-gument is unconvincing, an we propose toshow later, Tho subject is sufficientlyimportant to require tlio fullest examina-tion.

Tlio promoter* of tlio meeting of lnstovening at the Tomu Hall limy well becongrnlulnted on themessage of sympathymid support; ifc wns resolved to send tothe Liberal Premier ofl Iho Old Countryin regard lo Chinese labour on the Ikhd.If for no other reason than their betrayalof tho Transvaal tho defeat of the BnlfourGovernment is welcomed to every demo-crat in Australasia., and from the incep-tion of the plot of themillionaires to theaccomplishment of its degrading putpowe(.lie nectplo 6f this cojony have not hesi-tated lo cxprero tlmir abliorronce of nnImperial act Ui*t has converted whtitRhould bo a white man's country into nhome for«>rvilo yellow labour, tt is nottruo, as htw been phoftn in these columnstimennd again, ihat the gold measures oftho Trnimnfti cannot bo properly workedwith white labour, and this in the, begin-ning Lord Mllner and Mr. ChnmberininCould havo easily a«cei'talned had Uioyobtained expert evidence of tlio workingof themines ofl Australia in the high lati-tudes nnd outlying districts; but Iwohundred nnd twenty millions of Britishmoney and twenty-two lliousnndlives hadbeeh expended,not tomake tlie Trnnsvnnln colonyon ihe Aitstvallnn pattern, butlosurrender it as spoil to the rent victors,tho 'Robber ttnrom of the Unnd.

TIIE ROUT OF THE CONSERVA-TIVKS.

The rout of fho British Conservativescontinues unchecked, Two of their IntoMinisters ore now to bo numbered along,with the ex-I'remier .among tho faKen—his brother, Mr Gerald Bnlfour, hnvinghad his majority of 1002 in Leeds Con-trail converted into a deficit of 1069,while in South "Bristol Mr, W. 11. Long,who led by 611 in 1900, lias now beendefeated by tho enormous margin of2692. In Cfoydon another ex-Minis(cr,Mr, Arnold-Forst/er, has only saved hisBeat by tho splitting of votes betweenthe opposing candidates, his scoro bfting8248 against a Liberal and Labour totalof 11,353. The Liberals profit by a simi-lar chanoe In Greenwich, whero theyhave captured, tho seat by 4906 votes,though 4921 wero divided between thetwo Unionist candidates. Tho defeat ofLord Hugh Cecil will bo a serious locsto Uie Houso of Commoiiß, and, (is thefigures sliow that in ft straight-out fighthe could have retained tho soat, the factof Mr, Ohnmboplnin'fl personal inter-ference against him in tho contest forGreenwich is likely to prejudice the fis-cal missionary veryseriously In the fightfor Birmingham, on which nil eyes arehow turned. Itisnoticeable, by tho way,that Mr. Ohnmborlain is already "hedg-ing" with regard to the national verdictby declaring that "therewero somany sideissues introduced that, whatover tho re-sult might bo, ho could not regard theelections as h decisive answer on thefiscal question." \Ve agree with theBritish Premier that "such on announcement does npt exhibitMr, Chamberlain'sumttil courage, straightforwardness, andbelief inhis own cause." Can any qucn-tion ever be put more plainly to thepeople than tariff reform lias been putto tho electors generally tind to those ofGreenwich in particular. Tho de-feat of Mr. "Tommy" Bowles forKing's Lynn means another loss tothe Hotuo in vivacity and debatingpower, but, though there was also a tri-angular fight in this constituency, it doesnot appear whether tho third candidate

'was a "Tarifflte" or «, "Labourite," toadopt the new English coinages, withregard to tho former of which it mayat least be said that it is prettier than"Who'.e-Hogger."

Wd notedyesterday Mr, Herbert Glad-stone's comical appeal for "largo majori-ties," and trust that ho is now satisfiedwith tho response of tho Leeds electors.Mr, Gerald Balfour, as wo have alreadymentioned, has been defeated in the Cen-tral Division by over 1000; Mr. Glad-stone himself has had his majority in-creased from 621 to 2808 j while- in theSouthern Division Mr. J. L. Walton,X.0., lifts secured a triumph which putseven Burnley and Mtuichestor South intho shade. In 1895 and1900 his majori-ties wero 261 and 234 respectively;buthe now beats tho Unionist candidate- byover 4000 votes, while the Labour manalso beats the latter by nearly 2 to 1,the gross Liber.il and Labour total being10,239 ngalnyt 2126 for the Unionists. Ifa Gladstone should be satisfied with this,he must at least admit that Newcastle,which rejected by anarrow majority Mr.Motley, after twelve years' service, in1896, but in 1900 elected two Conserva-tives by majorities averaging 4500, hasdone fairly wellinnow electing two Libe-rals by majorities of about 7000— a, netLiberal gain of over 11,000 votes, It laquito Impossible to tako note of all thoitems in tho monotonous series of Liberalsuccesses, but the capture of both theNonvloh seats by majorities of over3500,though tho Conservatives weroallowed totake them both unopposed in 1900, isespecially remarkable. Among tho vic-tories in tho smaller boroughs * whereftlono. according to the Daily Chroniclo,Toryism is as yet making a stand. Onprevious occasions Lohdon and the coun-

iios havebeen tho great stand-by of thoConservatives,bub trie former at any rateis falling themnow, as a glance nt to-day»long list of Liberal victories will at ohcoprove. Tho Times and other Conserva-tive authorities are endeavouring to dis-count tho triumph as that of Labourrather than Liberalism. They are- fullyentitled to what comfort they can extractfrom this explanationof tho Unionist col-lapse, but to the average- colonist a Llbe-lal l'arty with a strong infusion of thoLabour element will appear a.morehope-ful and aotlvo thing than a LiberalParty runby Whigs, and we shallbo sur-prised if both sections of tho pnrty can-not co-operate in mtpport of tlm fineRadicalprogrammo outlined by the FrlmoMinister nt Glasgow.

\OOMMKROIAI A FINANCIAL,]

Evening Post Office, Wednesday.THE WOOL MAtIKET.

The first of the series of London wool«ales for the ourrent year commonest!yesterday, and before the day closes woolbrokers In tho colony will have been ad«vised ft« to the course of the market, Ac-cording to recent cablet the new arrivalstotalled 266.500 bftles, of which 126,000bales have been forwarded direct to themanufacturers at Home and abroad, leav-ing, with the amount carried over, 165,000roles for the currentsales, The totalis com*paratlvelysmall, and as stocks of the rawmaterial at Home on the Continent andAmerica are still materially below thenormal, tltere should bo anappreciation ofvalues,,but there are no indications ofthis; on the other hand, there are noparticular signs of any serious. decline.The Antwerp «alo of last week was cer-tainly not encouraging, especially forcrossbred*, which were totally neglected.The report front Bradford is satisfactorythere is a strong good general enquiry,and 46's are a shsde higher, At the cor>responding date last year the indicationsof «n advancing market were very pro-nounoed, and the opening did see a riseof about S per cent., which was subse-quently,lost. There are no such favour-able indications this year, and the fore*oast of theNewZealand Loan and Mercan-tile Annoy is that the sales will open ataboutpresent quotations, The course ofthe wool market k very difficult to forefflwjt, even those with years of experiencebehind them, are unable to speak withany degree of oertainty. values are above(he average, and to meet the demand ofthe masses priest for the manufacturedarticle have to be kept down as much aspossible. Substitutes consequently ,havetobe lwwely drawn upon, and cotton nasbeen- freely used. The world's textile de-tnands are certainly increasing. As anfnstaiMW of this, the production of cottonto thotfjjited States has increased from8,578,859't0 " 13,69&,279 bales, whilst theOMisttmptieH of cotton in America in-creased from 1,671,383 to 4,275,680 bales,The demand for wool ha» also widened,but the flocks hays not kept pace with thehuman increase, and in recent years havetost further ground. In textiles a greatdeal depends upon demand, which againlargely hinges on the state of trade, Inother'words, wearing,apparel, unlike food,can bo economised, and when work be-comes scarce thedemand for textiles dropsaff. .The exports of wool from Australasianports for the six months, Ist July" to3fcls Deoambar, 1905, as compiled by Dal.gety «nd Co., Ltd,, in comparison withthe figures'for the,corresponding periodof 1904/ show as uiiders—

This shrinkage is, no doubt,the; result of unfavourable weather con-ditions delaying shearing. The statisticsof January and February should disclose« more satisfactory state of affairs,

THE MONEY IfABJEOT.fh« London money market exhibits adegres of.easiness, but it is not likelythat, the Bank rate will be lowered* justyet. The'Bank figures are not so satis*factory m a year ago, and the' proportionof reserve to liabilitiesis relatively «mall.The internal demand for money owing tothe more prosperous condition* prevailingin some industries is shown by the notewoulatiott, whioh lust .week stood at,£29,432,000, as compared with £27,945,000« year ago. and in addition to, this thoborrowing, demands actual and prospectiveare l»fjr«. wuflsla has just obtained overI£10,000,000 In*-*Paris at a high rate ofinterest,' and Japan contemplates issuing£25.000,000 abroad* probably in London,Park and New York. The demands ofthe continental nations are,frequent, andin the aggregate appreciable', s6 thatapart from political considerations thereare reason* for a firm money market.This firmness is to be regretted so far asthe colonies are concerned because of thedifficulties it will impose, not merely withMipeot to new loans, but also with respeotto maturing issues. Victoria hits lustexperienced such a difficulty. Tho holdersof close ott £1,700,000 of 4 per cent,bonds had the option of declaring theirintention to convert into consolidated 31per cent, stock up to 30th December,1908, and the response was ver» unsatis-factory, g0 much-so that the VictorianGoyernatent is about to float a millionand ft naif to, pay off the holders ofTreasury bills due on Ist'July, The «ig-,nifloanoe of this lies in tho fact thatLondon financiers 'donot consider 34 percent, a high enough rate, and prefer toh*ve their money in hand for reinvest*men* in London. New Zealand has verylarge *iaounts failing- due in October andQmmbet of;this year, and it is to behoped that the conditions will be- morefavourable for conversion than they ap.'pear to be just now. It is obvious, too,that for the next three or four monthsif not longer, tho Colonial Treasurers ofAustralasia muit rely upon local.resourcesfor the- funds'that thoy maySquire* for.tttnatsly, there ban abundance of avail,able credit, and if the demands are nottoo big the required money should beforthcoming at remonablo rates of in-tarest,

NOTES.The opinions/repeatedly oxpremeclin thiscolumn that lower prices would rule formeat are confirmed by Messrs. Weddel'andCo, and the Colonial Conwgnincnt andDistributing Company. "AH producing

eauntrlM have pUecd a higher value onlive ttofik than this market can support"is the opinion of the Colonial ConsignmentCompany, and that no doubt i« true, butthe valuation, his be,en bated on supplyand demand, The supplies from Austral,asia were very much curtailed because ofthe drought in " tho Commonwealth, andthe demand and strong prices were main.taJned at a high livel. The position haschanged ooflsfder&bly during the pasttwelve months, Australia, is now a con.sJderable exporter, and is likely to con*,tinue so for some time to come. Anothersubstantial increase in the Australian flocksl« assured, io that next season a verymuch larger quantity of moat should beavailable for export. New Zealand toowill register another increase in the flocks,and tho outturn of mutton and lamblateron should bo above the average of thepast two yean.,

The British public tasto in wines seemsto bo changing,-judged by the fact thatin1896 tho Imports of French wines intothe Unltoti Kingdom were 6,756,718 gal-lon*, whereas in 1904'tJiay bad fallen to3,714,350 gallonr ■ The import* of Germanwines havo also' suffered considerably,whilst the shipments of Australian wineijin the ion months of 1605, as comparedyjR the ««me period, of 1904, increased by17<b289 gallons,

"Could not black labour bo obtained?""That's n moot point,1' replied Mr.

Hutchison. "A good many people, whoareentitled to speakwith authority on thesubject sny that the supply of indigenouslabour in South Africa has by no mentisbeen cxhnuslC'li The Kaffirsare lecrttitedby an tivueiation which is practically itdelegation fiom the big companies, andbefore thoChinos were Introduced it wasnecessniy to make it pretty clenr thatthere was h srnrdty of Kaffirs, Many"maintain tint If recruiting wns controlledby tlio Government there would bo nnabundance of indigenous labour, and tngroo (nilhought can only formanopinionfrom the statements of those who aiebet-ter onlltlod to upcdk on thesubject) thata very large accession of indigenous labourcoutd bo lecrulted.

"Theio will be no change," ho replied,except thnt no ftuthcr permits will bogrnnUl until rppresontntivo Governmentis given to the Transvaal. It will thenbe for thnt liepiilntuio to sny whnt shallbe dons withreference to thoChinese.

Although the British Government ceas-ed granting financial assistance to emi-grants over twenty yc«r« ago, it has at*Wichcd to the Colonial Office an Eini-grnntR1 Information Oflico. lliis latterdepartment was established by the Gov-ernment in 1886 for tho purpose of sup-plying Intending emigrants with usefuland trustworthy information respectingemigration, chiefly to the British colonies.The Information (MHce strives to keepabsolutely up-to-date regarding the Em-pire's oversea possessions, und issues hand-books containing full particulars, carefullyedited, and the leading colonial news-papers are filed for the purpose of keepingthe office in touch with tho modern his-tory of the various States mid colonies.Handbook No. 8 is devoted wholly toNew* Zealand, wns edited by Mr. WalterI'aton, M.A., and was

'published in

April last. Tho editor not only hascorrespondents throughout the Empire,but ho sends out circulars to Governmentofficials asking for the latest information.A copy oil .such a circular which thewriter has in his possession contains ftrequest tor answers to the followingquestionsi— "hthere any demand in yourtown or district, nnd .viiat are tho usualwages, for miners, farm labourers, gene-ral labourers, station hands, female ser-vants, mechanics (state trades)?" "WhatIs the price of beef, mutton, bread, nndbutter per lb, and milk per quart?""What is the average rent per week of a.working tnan'4 house containing four orfive roomB?" "Howmuch docs a work-ing man or woman pay per week forboardand lodging?" "What is the pur-chase price, or annual rent, per acre inyour district of land used for agriculture,fruit-growing, stock-keeping, dairying,andunimproved land?"

Tho information contained in tho fore-going paragraphs was obtained to-dayduring the course of a conversation withMr. Henry Lambert, by whom the cir-cular from whichthe questions were takenis Issued.

As Chairman of thoCommittee of th© Imperial Office, Mr.L&inboft has come out to Australia andNew Zealand to get into peisonal touchwith sources of information and see forhimself the capabilities of tho Common-wealthnnd tho colony us placos of settle-ment for British people. During thocourse of conversation witha representa-tive of the Post, Mr. Lambert said theobject of his office was to prevent emi-grants oro'ssjng tho seas blindfolded. Ifpeople must leave the Mother Country,then they should havo tho very best in-formation available regarding the condi-tions of life in the country they desiredto settle in. A large number of enquiriesweremade by intending emigrants at theoffice in proodway, Westminster, thou-sands of dnswefs being attended torevoryyear, A 'considoiabionumber, of the en-quiries referred to New Zealand, butCanada wa» the most popular country, sofor us enquiries indicated.

There was considerable Variety in theshow ot biogrrtph piature's at the OperaHouse- last night. Rough-and-tumblechases are alwnys popular, nnd the "Es-,caped Lunatic" was a good example ofthe. class, as also the "Kidnapped Child,'"which, though on almost the tame linesas one already seen in Wellington, gavean entirely different presentment of thesubject. Thei "Night of Horror" wajoneof tho most"elaborate'trick subjects yetproduced, The leading feature, however,was of course the scene showing the vic-torious "AllBlacks" in one of their great

\sn&tohes. " By request, this was repeatedin the second part. Some pleasing bal-lads were sung by Miss Lily Northwood.and Professor Scott gave amusing andsuccessful exhibitions of conjuring andventriloquism. A change of films is an-nounced for.this1 evening. , -

THE OBAN,DISASTER-MAGISTERIAL ENQUIRY.

TO-DAY'siiVIDENCE.,The disaster to the scow Oban at tlioentrance to the Wellington harbour onthe' night o! Sunday, 31st December,

1906, when Captain M'Kenzio anil twomombora of the crew were drqwned, wastho subject of nn investigation to-day byDr, A, M'Arthur, S.M., who had asso-ciated with him ns assessors CaptainPost, of the Tutanekai, and CaptainSavory, of,the biirquentine Elvcrlund.

Mr. Myers appeared for tiio Collectorof Customs, Mr. Gray for CaptainAbram, of the tug Duco, and Mr, Ueorefor Mr, K. G. I'ilcher, owner of thoOban.

Inopening the investigation Mr.Myersexplained'that there w«s no prelimiivarystatutory enquiry, and the whole matterwould have to bo enquired into by theCourt. The Wftin questions that Wouldarise wore n» to the stability and (sea-

worthinessof the Oban, and also whetherthe casualty ttas in ftnv way duo tonegligent 'Oil the part of either thoseflboftra the, Wg Uuco, which was towingthe Obnn,ftt the time of tlie accident,Of of tIW& on board the Oban herself.Tho cause,<tf tho accident was /throudedinmysterVfwhich theDepartment aakedtlie Court 'to endeavour to elucidate.

THE SIGNALMAN'S EVIDENCE,Willlnrrt James Lanknm, signalman

employed''by the Harbour Board at theBeacon HUi signal-station, deposed thathe satf the' Obatt at anchor off BaringHead ofl'the 31st December. There wasft gale raging from the north at thetime; ttltd the vessel was riding heavilyat anchor. The Duco went out shortlybefore 8 o'clock at night and took IhoVessel in tow. Witness observed bothvessels pnselng the I'encahow light, andthe/ Appeared to be all right. Subse-aufttltly ne «aw the Duco stop, and helioiight that the tow«ropo had parted.

This matter lie reported'to the Harbour-master.

'

In answer to Mr. Gray, witness wasof opinion that it was prudent to towthe Oban from her anchorage tinderBitting Head.

MOVEMENTS OF THE VESSEL.Captain Johnson, Harbourmaster,

gfotea thai about 3 o'clock on the 31stDecember hfl received a report from tha

Head Station withreference to thoOBan being-in danger. .Subsequently hereceivedanother message stating that shehadanchored ina dangerous position,and'that, gome of her sails had been blownmy. further that tv signal had beendisplayed' asking those aboard the Obanwhethetf or not they required,the.as-sistance of ft tug, and that no reply had

'been given. Witness then communicatedthe oircumstnnces, to the owner of theOban. Later In the evening he found thaitheDuco had been despatched to tow theOban into port,and subsequently receivedreports from Beacon Hill with reference,t(t the movements of-bothvessels. As faras,witness could judge from town therewngno reason why the Oban should nothavebeen towedinto port. He hadoftenseen the Oban. Ihere was nothingwrong with her as 'for as he know.

To Mr. Bern". Witness statod that hestrongly advised Mr. Holier to send attijf out to the,Oban,

Captain Abrtitn, a mnstor mariner, incharge of thn Duco, deposed that thesignalman toldhimabout 3 o'clock on tho

'afternoon In question about the Oban.Witness askedif she was signalling for atug, and the reply was "No." Witnesssaid.h© Wjould not go out to her then,but asked the signalman to keep a look-out and letihlmknow when she signalledfor A turf. About 5 o'clock Captain Gil-lwpie told him that'he wanted die scowin, Witness was then on his way to the"wharf to take the Duco to Day's Boy.About 6,30he started off to tow theObanin. 'He knew there was a gale ragingat theHeads. He wasdelayed in getting"away owing to the absence of a fireman.The Obari was reached at 20 minutes toeight. She was then in some clangor ofgoing ashore, Witness nt some tiskheaved a line aboard the Oban; and theOban people hauled the tow line aboardand made it fast.

'The scow wos riding,nil right at anchor, and there was' ap-parently nothing wrong with her. Wit-ness gave them fivo or six minutes toadjust the tow line,and then hauled themclear of aketch called the Old Jack andslowed the speed of the tug down toslow. After giving the Oban about 10minutesora quarter of an hour to adjust1the anchor, he saw that she- was display-ingside lights, This he took io be an in-dication that the nnchor was ailright.. '

THE CASUALTY-A THEORY.lTlie Duco was started off at three-

quarter speed for port, There wereabout sixty fathoms of rope between thovessels. All went welluntil approachingDorset Point, where witness noticed thesaow take an ungainly sheer,and deemedto "be dragging unusually on the tug.Witness looked batik, but could see

1nothing, for «omo time prior to thisher lights had been out, but this wasnothing unusual. Witness stopped theDuco and drifted back to sco'wliat waswrong. He noticed the Oban down atthe bow, and steamed round her, keep.Ing about ten yards off. He hailed thoseaboard the scow, but «ot no response,There wi ft, light in the cabin at thetime, Witness cruised round for aboutan hour and a half, and then proceededfurther into port, The scow groundedoff the Seatoun Wharf. Subsequently(she cftflie off and grounded about half amile from the fairway buoy, where thetow-rope broke, Witness could do nomore, so went to town and reported theMatter to the police, Witness heard novoices on the Oban on the night of thewould not have heard them because of
