THE GRADING OF ASSISTANTTEACHERS.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CHIEFINSPECTOR.-"
At yesterday's meeting of the Auckland Edu-cation Board the chief inspector of schools(Mr. D. Petrie, M.A.) reported upon thegrading of assistants, under tho scale setforth in the Education Amendment Act, 1905,'as follows: The suggestions invited fromheadmasters upon the grading of the assist-ants in the schools under their charge, re-spectively, have been carefully examined; —
The scale of 1905 differs from that of 1904,chiefly in the following particulars:(a)Generally, the salaries ore higher (b) nodistinction is made between male and femaleteachers: (c) the position of " mistress" isabolished; • (d) the numbering of the gradesof schools is different; for example, whatwas " grade"IX." vyill now be "grade XI.In submitting my recommendations for theconsideration of the Board, I have adoptedthe following principles which, in my opin-ion, are conducive to the interests of the ser-vice. In schools of grade XI. (151 "to 200scholars),' where one of the two assistants isa male, I think that the higher salary (£130)should be paid to him, and that the present"mistress'' (£110) should be ranked as thosecond : assistant (£115). •' In i two -or threeschools of this grade, where both assistantsare females, the headmasters have advisedthe' appointment of a male • at the highersalary, and I think it will bo advisable togive effect to their wishes where practicable.In schools of grade XII. (201 to 250) thefirst male assistant should receive the highestsalary provided under the scale; and wherethere are two male assistants, the secondshould rank next below him' in salary," thethird position and salary being assigned tothe present ; "mistress." All, schools over420 average attendance (grade XVII. 'andhigher) should have two male * assistants.Those which have only one' are Onehungaand Mount Eden, and for each of these theBoard has already proposed the appointmentof a male. Two or three schools need to bespecially dealt with by the Board in regu-lating the grades and salaries of assistants.
•The Chairman pointed out that under theAmending Act the title of "mistress" hadbeen done away'with, but that teachers whohad occupied the position would not sufferreduction of salaries in consequence. Withbut one or. two. isolated instances the newscale of ; salaries : meant an • increase allround." ;-.
After a ;brief discussion the recommenda-tions were adopted.'
A NEW ZEALAND ARTISTSCOLLECTION.'
Considerable interest is being taken by con-noisseurs in the very fine oolleetion of paint-ings by Mr. W. G. Baker, of New Zealandscenery, which is being exhibited at 77,Queen-street. Mr. Baker is too well-knownan artist to need any introduction here, butthere is a pathetic incident connected withthe exhibition which may be mentioned : theartist's eyesight and hearing are failing, andgreat as has been the produce of his brush,it is doubtful whether he will be able to turnout the quantity of work to which lie hasbeen accustomed. Mr. Baker has gone to
; the North, as well as to the South Island,J for his subjects, and he exhibits some very
beautiful examples of the characteristicscenery of New Zealand. \
"The WairuaFalls, Upper Northern Wairoa" (34) showsthe river in flood, tossing the ponderouskauri logs about like twigs, while the fallsthemselves thundei over the cliffs into theseething basin below. " Ohihemutu" (16),is a delightful little scene, famliar to visi-tors to Rotorua, showing the creek abovelake view. Two Maori figures, in dressesof vivid hues, make a pleasing contrast tothe colour of the vegetation. "The Awa-huri Roid, Feilding" (8), is a fine piece ctwork, showing the dusty highway hewn outof the heavily-timbered country. The mailcoach is seen in the foreground, and tramp-ling on the rank growth by.- the roadsideare some cattle. "Mitre Peafk" (10), at sun-set, magnificent work,_ the hoary moun-tain piercing the opal-tinted sky, whilodiaphanous mists linger in the gullies."Lake Taupo" (9), shows this noble sheetbr water, tinted by the rays of the settingsun. In the foreground is a . Maori whare,with figures seated outside; while on theglassy surface of , the lake floats a canoe.The air is one of perfect peace. There aremany other works in the- collection, allworthy of extended notice, but as the .publicave invited to see it, it may suffice to directthe attention to this fact. Several of thepictures have been sold.

Thames, Wednesday.' A report has been in circulation during
the day that the reef has been cut in theMay Queen low level, but this is not so.The face of ' the* crosscut is , still in sand-stone country, interlaced with mineral veins,and of a good description for gold, 'but- noreef is yet in sight, and the manager doesnot expect to cut it until the end of- theweek. The winze on the reef from No. 5level has now reached the depth required toconnect with the low level", and a start hasbeen made to drive from the bottom to-wards the crosscut so as to hasten the con-nection.

VICTORIA.[by TELEGRAPH.—OWN correspondent.]
Thames, Wednesday.Very little work has been done in the
No. 4 level of the Victoria mine during thelast- few days, in consequence of tho ac-cumulation of gas from the reef in the face,which it is found impossible to drive outduring the present muggy weather, and it,is not likely that work will be resumed inthis level until a change of wind occurs, •which may, however, take place at anytime. The reef in the face has not yet beencut through. It appears to be a large bodyof quartz, and • has been penetrated for adistance of about 9ft, but. no gold has yetbeen seen in it.

CHAPTER VII.IVOR CI.OVKIJjEY.
Richard Walton* was in au ugly mood.He had walked into the Park feeling sureof an easy victory. To do him justice, hewas ready and willing to atone for thepast- since he had seen Clyda. She was awoman that any man might be proud of,and the life of a country gentleman wasnot to be despised, after all,
"The mistake 1 made was that.of goingaway in the first instance,' he reflected."And then I might never have come acrossIvor Clovelley," he immediately added." Pshaw! I must .play the game, aud thewinning cards are already in my hands!"
He had left the. gravelled path, andturned in the direction of the pine wood,when lie heard heavy footsteps behind himand the gruff voice of a man calling uponhim to stop. It was Johnston, vhe game-keeper, and there was fire in his eyes."This ain't a public way," lie bellowed."An' you re the same gent that I've seenhere before!" • .
Dick Walton faced him haughtily."Have you been told to, follow nieV" he
asked."I've got my instructions to keep strang-
ers out of the pine, wood, sir," Johnston,firmly replied, "an' if you keep on tres-passin' you'll be made to know that youmust stop it. I've already spoke to thepolice about it."
"Indeed! I must commend you for do-ing your duty, mv good fellow. But ynihave made one little mistake. I am notexactly a stranger to your mistress, andmay very soon be your master. lourname,' I think, —er—"
"Johnston, sir," the keeper answered,-his eves agape. '
"Of course. Well, Johnston, here's asovereign for you, and I shall always re-member that you are a man to be trusted! '
Walton passed on smilingly."It is just as well," he thought, "that
I have made two complete sets of plans,and this incident has decided me upon thecourse I shall take."
He went back to the King's Arms, andasked for Mr. Clovelley. The landlordlooked puzzled.
"Oil, I mean the gentleman who is stay-with me, Spalding. We are masqueradingunder assumed names, you know, or ra-ther, have docked off our surnames, notwishing to arouse curiosity. Mr. Ivor isMr. Ivor Clovelley, and Mr. Richard.*-—myself—is Mr. Richard Walton. The fact-is," lie added, in an undertone, "we arcboth related to Miss Clovelley, the ladywho rules at the Park."
Spalding was dumb with amazement fora spell. ■ • . ; ,
"Yes, sir," lie said. "I wondered whyyou opened that letter from the Park. I'mvery much pleased, sir, that you gentlemen have honoured my 'house by stay-ing here, and hone you've been ' fort-able?" ' ' ",T .
-
.
"Oh, that's all right, Spalding! Ju.tckeep your own counsel for a day or two."
"Yes. sir; certainly sir." He remem-bered that tlie local ' police had made in-quiries about his guests, and felt worriedHe had almost turned them out of hishouse, half believing that they were gen-tlemanly burglars. He knew that they wereunder observation, and was determined towarn the police sergeant not to make anass of himself. "Here Mr. Ivor— meanOlovelleycomes, sir."
Dick Walton's chum paused in the door-way and started when the landlord maleuse of the name of Clovelley. He was abig,' good-looking, fellow, with prominent,pale blue, eyes, and a rather wide mo'iththat always appeared to be a little bitopen. He had a- habit of laughing aloudupon the slightest provocation, and veryoften ,when' the subject was a long wayfrom being a jest.
"You are back much sooner than Ithought- you would . he," lie said. " I'vebe,en over to the sports field. There's aflower show or something going on to-day.' *
" Not much in our lino just now," Wal-on said. "Come upstairs, Ivor.""1 must liave a refresher first, and a
cigar. You know' what I want. Spalding."The landlord evidently did know, and
wasted no time in supplying the order."I'll take a box of these cigars," said
Ivor. "Put 'em down to our account.''lie. then followed Dick Walton upstairs totheir joint sitting-room, a grin on his.good-humoured face.
"I guessed you'd given the game away,Dick, so run up our bill a couple of poundswith Spalding. No hesitation whatever!"
"Shut, the door, Ivor. T wi.sh that youwouldn't go the pace unite so fast. No,I don't care to smoke so early in the day.And oblige me by stopping your insanelaughter for a while.'
Ivor bit off the end of his cigar with agrowl. . ,
"Very complimentary, T must say! Aman with my prospective income can af-ford to do pretty much as lie pleases!Well, v,'hat's the news?"
"My wife disowns and defies me.""Phew! What's to be done?""I have given her a, few days to con-
sider matters, and in any event you mustdisclose yourself, Ivor Clovelley, and provethat yoi' are the rightful heir to ClovelleyPark and all that appertains (hereto.Everybody being under the impression thatyou died before reaching the mature ageof one year, your father's entire earthly,possessions are being enjoyed bv yourcousin. Miss Rachel Clovelley—lie oldstory of the wickedness of an ambitiousnurse, etcetera, who. is fortunately aliveand willing to tell the truth, and who hasalso done her duty to you, with the help ofan equally wicked husband, so far as inher power lav."
Ivor Clovelley laughed loudly."Which isn't saying very much,'' frown-
ed Walton. "Tf you didn't bear a strongresemblance to the picture of the latesquire, 1 should almost doubt you!"_
Again Clovelley laughed, hilt his fairface flushed a duskv red. '"I should quarrel with anybody else.
Dick," lie said, "but I've got so used toyour insults that they fall harmless."" You daren't quarrel with me, Ivor, and
I freely confess that, my whole fortune iscentred in you. I am finding the money.and the brains to engineer this _ thingthrough, and from the very first it, hasbeen agreed that I share equally with youin the net result. 1 shall require that re-duced in writing.

" I wish you wouldn't bother me- withdetails. My head won't stand it'fellme what is to he. done, and I'll do it. ' Tiegnawed at his moustache. "The thing isa good investment for you, any way. Howmuch money have.you advanced? Iwohundred pounds?"

"Oh, dash it!" Ivor's face flamed red."Just drop that stuff, will you'/"
"I merely wish 1 to refresh your memory,"proceeded Dick Walton, coolly. "I don'tcare for your contemptuous reference to mysmall investment. You have absorbed ,itgladly enough. To finish I gave ' you'-money, and you showed me certain docu-ments. The name of Clovelley worked uponme like a charm.: I had married a young!lady named Clyda Clovelley years before,anil left her— own cousin.

"Nothing of the kind, Ivor. lam a manof business, and a bargaiu is a bargain.Now shake hands, and I'll smoke one ofyour cigars."
Ivor Clovelley haiuded the cigar box tohis companion rather sullenly. He began tofear Dick Walton, find consequently to hatehim. ~
"Very lints tobacco," Walton observed,sniffing at the cigar he had selected. "Mr.Spalding is evidently a judge." He lightedthe weed, and continued: "We must nowtake the bull by the horns, and call uponthe Clovelleys' old fmmily lawyer—or shallwe first pay Miss Rachel Clovelley a visit,and break {Tie news to her gently?"

"I should' advise the latter course," Ivorsaid. "I am inclined to be a bit sorry forher " '■ '

DYING OF CONSUMPTION.
.TOIIN BRIGHT, OF BKNDIGO.SPITTING BLOOD FOR 7 YEARS.
GIVEN UP BY ALL THE DOCTORS.IN PERFECT HEALTH TO-DAY.
DR. WILT/JAMS' PINK PILLS./'Twelve years ago I tried to get into aBenefit, Society, but the doctor said pointblank he could not- pass me," said Mr. JohnBright, wholesale and retail fruiterer, Har-greaves-street, Bentligo. "lie said my lungswere so had that no insurance companywould take the risk of my life. For the nextseven years 1 had blood-spitting, and jit, lastit. brought on Consumption. .1 had eight orten doctors, and not one of them could doanything for me. At last, I went to theBendigo Hospital—but they couldn't save methere. My cough kept getting worse andworse. I was in the last stage when mvcousin made me begin Dr. Williams' PinkPills for Pale People. They, built me upfrom the very start. In the end they curedme. To-day. my lungs are as sound as anyman's—and they 'have been for the last fiveyears. Since then Dr. Williams' Pink Pillscured my daughter Hilda of Consumptionof the Throat after the doctors arid theHospitals had failed to do her any good.So it s no wonder I swear by a medicinethat has saved two lives in my family.
"The lodge doctor picked" first thing onmy lungs being weak," added Mr. Bright,who, by the way, has lived in Bendigo forlie last 32 years. "Three years before Ihad been kicked by a horse in the chest.The doctor said it may have been the cause
of .the trouble in the first place, but therewas something more the matter with menow. lie kept tapping away at my chestfor two solid hours. At last 1 started tocough and brought up a big clot of blood.As soon as the doctor, saw that he said itwas no use examining me any more. Mylungs wore all gone. He, said there wasnot, an insurance company under heaventhat, would take me.
"From that time on I started to wasteaway. During the next, seven years Icoughed up gallons of blood from my lungs.I would spit up a mouthful of blood, fouror five" or six times a day. .fust before anattack of bleeding came on the back'of mythroat started to burn. There was a asiqlike salt in my mouth, and Ihen a nastytickling cough came on. The fmfc thingI knew the blood would rush up from mylungs into my mouth. The sight of it gaveme a shock every time, after what the doc-tor told inc. I knew that every bleedingattack brought me that much nearer mygrave—and sometimes I had as many as 30or 40 in one week. ,
"The doctors couldn't do a thing for me.When one failed I went to another Icouldn't, tell you how many I had altos;etiier.There was ngt, one of them could give meany medicine to stop my lungs bleeding.After every fresh attack 1 would shake likea leaf. I could feel my strength beingdrained away. Often I nearly fainted. .Llost, all heart, and felt that it. was no usestruggling against the late that was waitingfor me. .
"Sometimes the pain in my legs andarms was worse- than Rheumatism," addedMr. Bright, who gave the present interviewat his private house in Bath-street, offMitchell-street. " The pain used to start- inmy thighs and run down to my ankles. Thepain was so bad at times that 1 could notsleep with it. My nerves got all on edge,and 1 went off my food. Of course, thaionly helped to hasten the end. I was justwasting away before everyone's eyes. Oftenmy legs were too weak to hold me. I beganto fear I would lose the use of them alto-gether—but, thank God, 1 started to -takeDr. Williams' Pink Pills before if cameto that. Still, many a day I was too weaikto leave my bed. Even at my best I hadhard work to struggle up the street a. fewblocks.- Everybody who saw me said I wasin Consumption.
"This went on for years, in spile of allthat the best doctors in Bendigo could dofor me. When their own medicines did meno good they told me to take cod liver oil.i took dozens of bottles—but I kept ongoing from bad to worse. My face was thecolour of Death. I was worn down io askeleton. Every time I coughed it rackedme from head to foot. The cough kept-tearing my lungs more and more. Five orsix times in one day a blood-vessel in mylungs would break, and the blood wouldrush up to my mouth. For two oi threehours afterwards my phlegm would' be allstreaked with blood. 1 was just spitting mylife away. It; was cough, cough, cough, everyhour of the night. One after another thedoctors gave me up. At last I went to theBendigo Hospital. Th?y left no stone un-turned to cure me—hut I kept on wastingaway before heir eyes. No one thoughtthat I had more than another month or twoto live.
"One day, just after one of mv,bad fitsof coughing, my. cousin, Charles Bright, of.UcCrae-street. Bendigo', came in to see me.T was lying there, stretched lout like dead,too weak to move a muscle. . He never knewbefore how bad J was. Then he told mehow LV. Williams': Pink Pills had cured himof nervous exhaustion —and he . said it washis own doctor that'made him take them.The doctor told him that they were madefrom the finest prescription •in the world.Tint very night T sent to .Tones, the chemist,down in Ilargreaves-street. for half a dozenboxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Thefirst box didn't do me any good, but thesecond gave me a better appetite than Ihad had for seven years. After that mycough began to ease up. As time went crt[ could feel myself getting stronger. Beforea month was out' T had stopped spittingblood. From that, time on my limes had achance to heal. In the end Dr. , Williams'Pink- Pills built me up into a strong, healthyman, with, kings as sound as a bell. It, is. overfive years now since I was cured, and T havenever had another attack of bleedinc fromthe lungs. That proves that Dr. -Williams'Pink Pills have cured me for good. Morethan that, they saved Hilda's life when thebest Hospital specialists gave her up."
The only hope for the poor Consumptive,lies in plenty of good rich red blood. Theonlv wav to tight the bacilli, heal the lungs,and build up the strength is through theblood. That is just, the reason why Dr.Williams'. Pink ills cure Consumption.They actually make new blood. They givestrength, energy, and health with every dose.They don't act on the bowels. They don'tcure mere symptoms. They do only one.

WESLEYAN DISTRICTSYNOD.
THE CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS.(
STATISTICS I*oll 1905.The -Wesleyan £>nod resumed in financialsession at half-past, nine yesterday ■at Pitt-street schoolroom.
In welcoming the lay representatives thechairman spoke' in appreciative terms oftheir devotion and work. He- then madespecial reference to the death of the Rev.Rainsford Bavin.
The chairman, in the course of his address,st^id:ln the annual oflicial volume of theWesleyan Conference, just published, the re-turns show a total membership for Great,Britain of 484,879, an increase of 10,726 onlast year; 46,271 on trial, an increase of11,579; and 99,851 junior members, an in-crease of more than 5000. I The work of theyear shows a total of 50,000 new members.There are 2303 ministers in full work, be-sides over 19,000 local preachers. The in-crease of local preachers alone is 400. Thereare 7498 Sunday-schools, with 133,301■'offi-cers and teachers (increase 641), and 1,006,515scholars (increase 5071), of 'whom 261,144 areabove 15 years of age. In nearly all direc-tions striking progress is evident. The Bandof Hope members have increased by nearly5000, and the adult Temperance Societyshows 10,700 , new members. In our > owncolony each of the districts whose Synodsthis year have been held, viz., Wellington,Canterbury, Wanganui, and Otago, publishsubstantial increases both in adult member-ship and in Sunday-school scholars. Thelatter increases are particularly welcome,as some three or four years ago there was ashrinkage in this department; biyt the de-cline is now evidently arrested.
*
:
EVANGELISTIC-_
WORK.As the authorities in the Mother Churchattribute their increase to the great revivals
in Wales and England during the past yearor two, so do I recognise the influence ofthat good element here. • One evangelistfrom the Methodist Church of America, onefrom Australia, and our own conferenceevangelist, have visited the circuits sincelast conference, with most ber/*;ieial.results.It, is easy to descry their effort* and to pro-phesy that much of the resul' lacks - per-manency; but the Church apparently needsthe stimulus that comes to it by the perio-dical visits of men specially qualified asevangelists; and we owe no" small part, ofour progress -to their work. Methodism wasborn in a revival; 'and flourishes best- in this" her native £yr." It is, therefore, with the ut-most satisfaction that I also see the develop-ment of "missions" in connectionwith our Church in Great . Britain,Australia, and, in a smaller way,in our own colony. While it, behovesus to maintain with dignity and order thewell-regulated worship of the sanctuary, wemost heartily approve of the efforts of the"missions" in gathering into halls those towhom the ordinary services of the Churchmake no appeal. The unconventional me-thods of the Prophet, of Nazareth—the greatoutdoor * preacher—and the succession ofstrong men who dared to be " irregular" sothat by all • means they might save some,are an ample justification for missions,"and should be ii greater inspiration.
BIBLICAL CRITICISM.It is good for as to reflect or. (he fact that
Biblical criticism is having 1:0 deleteriouseffect upon our religious life as a people.Whilst keenly alive to the yas' : ssues openedup by the application of mod rn tests to thedocuments' in which the R • , Scriptures areinvolved, yet our people quietly rest in thetruth that personal experience is the grandand final test of all spiritual truth. We knowin whom We 1rave-believed.
Tlio London Spectator recently ; assertedthat "In the battle between faith and unbe-lief the argument" from personal experiencehas largely superseded the apologetics basedon probabilities ; and historical evidences."It is this "truth that explains the calm per-sistence in which our people continue tofpend their strength, and money, and timei.i die channel of practical and aggressive"godliness" ' undisturbed by the literarystrife conquering certain shibboleths, and bythe changes that have silently crept oversome of the theories once dearly cherished.
LOCAL OPTION, POLL.The" Church, or at least a portion of the
Church, . has. come to regard an active in-terest in the local option poll as a sacredduty. I greatly rejoice that, he MethodistChurch, with practical unanimity, is opposedto this trade, and continues election afterelection to give effect, by every lawful means,to her convictions. Now that another battleha.:! been fought and you* are weary from thefray and some of you perhaps dispirited atthe' result of the-, tight, suffer me to pointout the onward movement, your ranks havemade in the province of Auckland. In1902, out of the 14 electorate! in the pro-vince, 10 recorded a majority for licenseand four for no-license. Last week thesenumbers were exactly reversed: and to-daythe liquor party is in the ascendant in fourelectorates and we in ]0. In 1902 AucklandCity showed that no-license votes were in aminority of 821 last week we changed thatminority into a majority of 242. In otherwords, whilst the other side had increasedits vote by 411. we increased ours by 1474.In 1902,' throughout the 14 electorates of tileprovince .33,145 votes were recorded for con-tinuance. and 2.3,662 for prohibition: that iswe were then in a'minority of 4483. Lastweek 36,846 were cast for continuance, andfor no-license 41,082. So that we have chang-ed a provincial minority of 4483 into a ma-jority of 4153, or; made a total net gain of
8641. The "license" vote increased by 3751!the no-license by 12,420. That is, whilst theother side have* advanced 11 per cent., wehave advanced 43 per cent. No por-phetic gift is necessary to foretellthe issue' •of this unequal race.When I add that not only has no-licensebeen carried in one electorate by an im-mense majority, of nearly two to one, notonly has two other electorates carried re-duction, but that in everyone of the pro-vincial electorates, without exception, therecords of last week" show a relative increaseof strength on the side of no-license, youwill see that, the advance has been generalas well as great. Some reviewers profess tosee in returns an evidence of our ex-haustion, and a discovery of what they calla set-back to the no-license sentiment.They are welcome to all the comfort deriv-able from such' a conclusion; as for our-selves, we thank God and take courage.
The business of the Synod was (hen pro-ceeded with as follows: —
Circuits: A report, was made concerning'the progress of the Church work at Huntly.It was "resolved 1 to recommend that Hilhtlybe constituted a separate circuit, and that a,probationer be appointed. The UpperThames circuit applied fcr relieF from itsobligation to lake a married minister, andalso for the appointment, of' a second homemissionary with, a •'suitable' grant from the'Home Mission Fund. / The application wasunanimously--recommended. The applicationof the Franklin circuit .for the appointmentof a probationer was approved.
City Missions:-.A discussion took place onthe position and prospects of the AucklandCity Missions. Splendid work, it was re-ported, has been done and is being doneboth at Freeman's Bay and Newton. Inorder to strengthen these missions and torender the, work' more effective, it was re-solved to recommend their amalgamation.
Representative to Conference: The bal-lot for district, representative resulted in theelection of the Rev. W. Slade. The Rev. B.P. Hothwell was appointed substitute repre-sentative.. .
Church Properties: Mr. W.D. Buttle,district secretary of church properties, re-ported that, an "aggressive policy, was being-pursued throughout the province, and thatthe finances were iii a healthy condition.Letting properties had been erected in Pittnstreet, Auckland, and at Hamilton, and aparsonage at OnehiiHga, and a block of landpurchased at Franklin North. A site atKotorua had been acquired from the "Gov-ernment, and preparations made for theerection of a church thereon. •In connectionwith this enterprise statements wore madeby Mr. W. Shepherd Allen, M. (treasurer)and the Rev. K. P. Bhtmircs (resident minis-ter). Considerable progress was reported;donations had been received from all. partsof New Zealand, and also from England.It was anticipated that by the date of open-ing the Conference the sum raised wouldamount to £550, and the new church maybe opened before the summer season.
Rev. C. 11. Garland: Reference was madeto the prospective departure of the Rev. C.11. Garland from the district, and a resolu-tion was passed with acclamation containingan expression of sincere appreciation of hi#services' in ' the ehaii <?f the district, whichhe had filled with ability, fidelity and un-varying courtesy*:• and regret at. his depar-ture. The Rev. Mr. Garland expressed his"appreciation of the vote passed and of theloyal support and the affection of the minis-ters and office-bearers of the Church.
The business of tho Synod will be con-tinued this morning and afternoon.A public meeting and concert will be heldic the'Pitt-street Church in. the evening.
DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES.
THREE KINGS COLLEGE.
. '. SPEECH BY THE GOVERNOR. , VTHE ceremony of distributing the prizes atThree Kings College for Maori boys 'was per-formed .yesterday afternoon by His Excel-lency the Governor (Lord Plnnket) in themain schoolroom, at the college. A largenumber of visitors from the city had drivenout for the occasion, and a most -enjoyableafternoon was . spent by the visitors.. Themembers of- the Auckland District MethodistSynod were, present, including a number ofMaori clergymen. The vice-regal' party > con-,sisted of His Excellency the Governor, LadyPlunket, and the Hon. Kathleen Plnnket,and the Governor was • attended by Captainthe Hon. W. M. R. 1Bingham, aide-de-camp.The party was met at the college '.gate 3 ;bythe Rev. C. H. Garland (chairman of Synod),the Rev. > J." 11. Simmond3 (principal),' ' andothers, and formally welcomed. The school-room and entrance had been decorated withflowers and greenery, and the seating ac-commodation was soon taxed to - the utter-most. . and many guests were obliged tostand. The proceedings were opened by aMaori 'hymn, sung-by. the scholars, and bya prayer by the Rev. W. 1L Beck. • 1
The Rev. C. .H. Garland, who presided, wel-comed the guests - present, - and went on tosay the land on which the college stood' wasa Governor's gift 00 years ago, arid thatGovernor was so pleased that he increasedthe grant, and his successor.' Sir GeorgeGrey, was so satisfied with the work arid theproject that he made liberal addition to the |grant. Then that terrible war broke out jwhich Lore up much of the good work done, iand he did not. think from that day until 1the date of the present prize-giving, therehad been a Governor of the colony on inatproperty. They were especially pleased,therefore, to see His Excellency there thatday. (Applause.)
After another Maori hymn by the studentsthe principal read the annual report inconnection with the college, prefacing ■ thisby - remarking that while the MethodistChurch did all it could for the Maoris, itnever forgot the good work done by otherChurches, 'and especially by "the AnglicanChurch, which, in the department of Maorimissions, was doing magnificent work, andhe and his brethren joined in very warm ap-preciation of such splendid institutions asTe Aute, St. Stephen's, and the VictoriaSchool for Maori Girls.
The report took the form of an interestinghistory of the foundation and progress ofthe college from 1844 to the present' time.The report also slated that, dividing the 30years from the reopening in 1876 to the pre-sent time into three decades, the averageannual net income' from the trust estatehad been for the first decade £585, for thesecond £394, and for the third £679. For thefirst decade the average number of scholarsand students appeared to have been 11,"forthe second 13, and for the third decade theschool roll book gave an average,of 26. Theannual cost per scholar lor education andmaintenance came out on this basis: £35for the first decade, £30 for the second, and£26 for the third. ■ During these 30 years aconsiderable sum had accrued from the saleof farm produce; but this had been absorbedby improvements and repairs not properlyincluded in maintenance, and was • notreckoned in this calculation. The scholarspaid no fees; and all grants in aid-from theGovernment- ceased 40 years ago. •
Tile .Rev. .T. A. Luxford then read a satis-factory report from the Visiting Committee.
The Chairman announced that apologiesfor absence had been received from' Mr." JohnBollard, M.H.R., the Rev. W.' D. Runcimau(registrar of the Auckland University Col-lege). and Mr. F. E. Bamne, M.H.R.-
His Excellency the Governor then present-ed the various prizes, and subsequently hebriefly addressed the gathering. In thecourse of his remarks he expressed his plea-sure at being present, anil he was only sorryhe could not have visited the college before.He wished he could hand over a large parcelof land as other Governors who visited thecollege had done. 11lat he could not do, but-he could express his great interest and sym-pathy in tlio ■ work that was beijjg done.(Applause.) It. interested him greatly to seewhat the college was actually doing for theMaori race. (Applause.) The British people,were now responsible for the fntnre of thatrace, and it was greatly to be regrettedthere was such a steady reduction •of theMaori -population going on. He thoughtschools like that and those alluded to bythe principal were one of the best possibleforms of improving the conditions of theMaori, and thereby tending to stay the de.crease in population. tAppiause.) A good,sound. Christian education, combined . withgood discipline—and She Mftori wanted thatvery badly—would give the Maoris somethingthat would be of great benefit, to them andtheir fellows. (Applause.) itaver, they re-ceived instruction in this rules of hygieneand health, which were of the utmost import-ance. and lie placed them r..>xt to religion*instruction. If the scholars followed outwhat they learned at the college they wouldnot only be doing good work to themselves,but to the whole of their race, as, lie under-stood. they were mostly going to be niis-sioner.a amongst their, own people. Tlio boysmust remember that to pass through the col-lege successfully was not all they ii»>l to do,but they had to be useful to those who haSnot their grand opportunities. (Applause.)If he was given other opportunities of com-ing to Three Kings and advancing the inter-est of the college in any way possible itwould always give hint great pleasure to doso. (Loud applause.) In conclusion heheartily thanked the assembly for its heartywelcome to Lady Plunket and himself.
The Rev. W. Slade'also spoke.The Chairman then called upon the Rev.-

QUEEN - STREET TRAMTRACK.
THE QUESTION OF REPAIRS.
i. USE OP PILES CONSIDEREDNECESSARY.
NEW PROPOSALS BY THE" ' COMPANY.' : _
Some information - regarding' the proposals ; /'
I of. the Electric Tramways Company in re-' gard to the long-standing' trouble in con-nection with the subsidences of the Queen-street track was obtained by a Herald .-/ireporter yesterday, in the course of an in-' -terview; with Mr. M. F. Carey, chief electri- '
calengineer to thecompany. .Air Carey stated, v '.-'H,that the conclusion"bad been arrived at that ',r;;
.the only .'.satisfactory method of overcoming . •the .trouble was the use of piles in • allplaces where the formation, showed! signsof weakness. After .the approaching holi- ,days were over it was the intention of the .company to approach the City Council with -a scheme for the carrying out. of permanent •' \ 'repairs. The Council would be asked to;sanction the construction of a crossover at x ■the top of Queen-street,- immediately in ' Afront of Messrs. Smith and Caughey's, and X:to allot?" all cars on both the eastern and' •
"
western sections to reverse at this pointduring the repairs, instead of running,tothe present terminus, thus temporarily
.
....
suspending the traffic in Queen-street. If <
this permission were granted it would, Mr. 1 ..
Carey stated, be possible to carry out the£required repairs with much greater despatchthan at present, as they would be able towork two or three shifts a day. The com- '
pany, lie said, recognised the desire of theCouncil for finality in the. matter, arid it *'• s /was anxious to effect a permanent, solution.of the trouble with as little delay and''-*;inconvenience as possible. -
Questioned in regard to the use. of asphalt' '-Vbetween the tram rails, Mr. Carey said:"I regret to stiy that we are under the ixn-piession that a mistake was made in con-senting -to the use of asphalt, between our \
rails in Queen-street. In the case of a ,-.v-large number of tramway systems inAmerica the companies have been obliged , 4'to abandon the use of asphalt- on theirtracks, owing to the vibration of the rails • ;
causing the asphalt to break.""What form of construction has been
adopted in preference?" / ' : \'/.y"The system which is largely adopted be-
| tween rails, on asphalt- streets," said : Mjr. */
Carey, "is that tnc-V/ri os the 'scoria block |j -0I system.* The rails are hid on a solid bedI of concrete of about 10 inches in thickness,
[ which is afterwards giver a smooth cement,rendering. A thin layer of sand is- placed
I on-this bed, arid over this are placed, scoria Xblocks, in the. ordinary staggered fashion, |about three-eighths of an inch apart. Fine'sand is rammed in between the blocks, andto the height of an inch and a-hatf,. theremainder of the opening being filled in "»
with ordinary patch tar.". Mr. v- Careystated that these blocks, which are made •
| of a composition of scoria ash, cement, andiron, are superior to auv stone, even granite,a.id it is satisfactory- in appearance, aswell as in wearing- properties. Asphalt,he said, was very suitable for _ ordinary '
street traffic, where there was no vibration. '
".Do you propose- to adopt the scoriablock system in street?" . ' . . ?
"That depends on the approval ,of,'the! City Council. If they do not approve of it, . - . 'we shall have to adhere to the asphaltsystem. In either case, it will be necessaryto use piles." -'Mr. Carey added that the r, *cost of the scoria block ?system exceeded jthat of the asphalt pavement. .

TOURISTS AND SETTLERS.
The speech reported to have been,made by Mr. Seddon at tort Chal-mers on the subject of improvedsteamers foi the Australian trade in-vites, like nearly all the Premier'sspeeches, both approval and criti-cism. There can, of course, be no
difference of opinion on the pointthat larger, speedier, and more com-fortable steamers running betweenthe chief Commonwealth centres andNew Zealand would result in a greatlincrease of passenger traffic duringthe summer months. A chief fea-ture of any pleasure trip, it needhardly be said, must always be foundin the comfort of the surroundings,without which pleasure is hardly at-tainable, and the waters of Tasman'sSea do not, even in summer, lendthemselves uniformly to smoothwater sailing. To a large number ofpeople nothing is much less agree-able, in expectation at any rate,than a voyage 01 even a few daysover a rough sea in anything but thevery best of vessels, and there mustbe many hundreds, if not thousands,of people who would prefer the sum-mer ills they know in Australia tothe risk of others, in the shape ofclose cabins and lively seas, to beencountered in the effort to reach;the cool regions of the "FortunateIslands." Even visitors from Europeto Australia, accustomed to the ac-commodation now provided by thegreat passenger lines, have, nodoubt, in many cases paused beforecoming on to New Zealand in thecomparatively small boats hithertoprovided, and so deprived them-selves of the benefit and this colonythe advantage that would have fol-lowed a visit. There can be nodoubt, therefore, that everythingthat can be done to improve themeans of communication, either inthe direction of speed or of increasedcomfort for passengers, will provebeneficial to all parties concerned.As the Premier pointed out, theheat-weary Australians will certainlyfind pleasure and advantage in pay-ing us a visit; visitors from moredistant lands will obtain pleasuresof,, sight-seeing hardly to be foundelsewhere in the world, and nowherein-so concentrated a form. The ship-ping companies on their part will bethe gainers in a vast increase oftrade, and the colony will realisesomething at present of the wonder-ful scenic capital with which Naturehas endowed her, and much morein the future by the appreciative re-ports of those who had enjoyedthem. The picture, as drawn by thePremier, is a pleasant one, and it-has the advantage of being one thatseems likely to be realised. Thatthe Government should do its sharein the way suggested by Mr. Seddon,by an increased activity in adver-tising the facilities and attractionsprovided at all Australian centres,is also reasonable—though it canhardly be said to have neglected theadvertising role in the —for itmust be admitted the age is one ofcommercialism, and even' Govern-ments do well, within certain limits,to conform to the times.
It may be asked, however, whetherthis is all which is naturally sugges-ted to the mind of a statesman bythe prospect of increased intercoursewith the rest of tie world. Thepurely commercial side of. the ques-tion, as we have said, is one whichit is reasonable for even Govern-ments and Premiers to bear in mind.There is no reason why the fact thata large influx of visitors and sight-seers brings trade and employmentto our people and added traffic toour railways and coastal steamers(should be overlooked, or why weshould neglect to make all reason-able provision to attract attentionto the wonders of our scenery, thecharms of our summer climate, andthe 'facilities we have, provided bypublic and private enterprise fortheir enjoyment on reasonable terms.It rqay be asked, .however, \vWilierthis is all. It is isasonable, nodoubt, that the question of immedi-ate profit should bound the horizonof the Union Company in consider-ing the desirability of increasing thev- umber of their large and luxurious
■: ..rhino steamers ; it is not unrea-, nftble that the visitors attractedby the beauties oi oar country, andthe facilities we provide for 'seeingand enjoying them, should In. '• onthe visit as one wholly of pleasure;but for the community itself and forthe men who form its Government-and are accredited as its statesmen,are there not considerations beyond,and wider than these? It seems tous there are. New Zealand con-siders itself fortunate for many rea-sons, and these are not confined tcthe beauty of its scenery or the per-fection of its temperate climate.The greatest of all perhaps if; thRthat amongst all the colonies of Eng-land it is the one which is the vsK'Stessentially English. In its popula-tion, hi its laws, customs, and ideals,we pride ourselves upon being trueto the traditions of our race, andoccasionally, perhaps, on being a sortof advanced guard of our peculiarcivilisation. If we are right in this,there should be no country in theworld so . attractive to the bestclasses of our own people as NewZealand; and it. follows that ourcountry needs only to be batter andmore widely known to become thegreat point of attraction for the verybest class of intending emigrantsfrom Great Britain- It is admittedon all hands that few* if any,, parts-
of the world have the same advant-ages for the support of a large popu-lation in comfort and well-being asNew Zealand can show.' Meanwhilehundreds of thousands of our coun-trymen are fioiking" to Canada andthe United Slates, where conditions,both of soil and climate, can bear nocomparison with those we have tooffer here. It may be said that thedistance is & barrier; and to someextent this is true. So far as it isthe truth, in the case of the kind ofpopulation we should most desire,the improvement of rapid communi-cation should lessen if it does notwholly remove it. Of the thousandswhom Mr. Seddo'n hopes to attracthere each summer by the charms ofour climate and scenery, and thefacilities offered for their enjoymentby private enterprise or publicpolicy, we may expect that verymany will desire to settle among us.What are the attractions and facili-ties which Mr. Seddon proposes tooffer them? New Zealand, though arich, is not, it may be said, a verylarge country, yet it contains about115 acres of land for every inhabi-tant. In such a country, endowedwith such a, climate, and on thewhole with so fertile a soil, it neednot be said that there is room forten times as many people withoutrisk of crowding. Here then wouldseem to be the opportunity for thestatesman. It is well to assist in at-tracting visitors ; it is well to adver-tise the advantages and facilities wehave to offer; surely it is better andmore statesmanlike to look a littlefurther than this; to provide attrac-tions that may induce desirablepeople to cast in their lot among us,by throwing open land on which theycan settle, subject to terms whichare likely to prove attractive topeople of our own race.
THE WELTER IN RUSSIA 1.
The news from Russia gives no pro-mise of the speedy.' re-establishmentof law and order. Throughout nearlythe whole of the Tsar's vast empirea reign of anarchy has prevailed forseveral months. Disturbances andoutrages on a scale which in anyother country would be indistinguish-able from, civil war have been of
I daily occurrence. All constituted! authority appears in imminent dan-ger of being swept away. The Go-vernment have been stricken with
! paralysis, and amidst the turmoiland bloodshed which are hurryingRussia on to a revolutionary cata-clysm the Tsar sits silent and impo-tent; For not only have the fore.3of the bureaucracy broken down inthis supreme hour of trial, but auto-cracy itself has been reduced .to &
state of helplessness. The mostamazing feature of the whole situa-tion is that neither the Empetor norany of his advisers seem able tograsp the gravity of the crisis orinitiate the proper measures whichit calls for. They and not the com-munity, as Count de Witte seems tothink, are hypnotised by the revo-lutionary party which is constantlygrowing in boldness, numbers, andpower. They are doing nothingeither because they are unable orunwilling to do anything. But inany case their attitude is fraughtwith the utmost danger. The tragicscenes which are being enacted all-over Russia can have but one endingunless the Tsar or some powerfulmember of his Government is ableto effect the speedy appeasement ofthe people by the only means pos-sible—a full and complete measureof political, personal, and religiousfreedom, and the substitution of aConstituent Assembly for an irre-sponsible and reactionary bureau-cracy, Nothing short of the. estab-lishment of constitutional Govern-ment, and the immediate punish-ment of all those officials who eitherconnived in the recent massacres orwere incompetent to prevent them,can stem the rising revolutionarytorrent which threatens to over-whelm both the throne and: the coun-try, and shake the foundations ofRussian society. But it must beconfessed that at present there areno signs that the Tsar or the Go-vernment are prepared to adopt sucha course. They are trusting to thebrutality of Cossack force, and aredeliberately shutting their eyes tothe impending catastrophe. •
THE BRITISH MINISTRY.
Lord Rosebery has stated that no-body but a lunatic would believethat' a - Home Rule Bill is to be in-troduced during nest Parliament.The, evidence 'against- ,uls lordship'sconfident assertion in, accumulatingfast. To-day we publish- a list ofappointments that have bean made toten Ministerial oilices, most of themoutside of the Cabinet. Of the ap-pointees no less than four are pro-nounced Home Rulers—that is, theyadvocate the reform when they meettheir constituents. Thess are Mr.McKenna, Mr. Shaw. Mr. Causton,and Mr. . Robertson. 01' the otherssome have not iiad an opportunityof voting on Home Rule, aad the
her? were probably with the"ayes" when Mr. Gladstone's mea-sure was carried in the House ofCommons in 1893. The most notableof the new appointments is that ofMr. Winston Churchill—die com'rigman. Soldier, author, war corres-pondent, good debater, • ha- is toemost notable young man in Englandto-day. He lias seen active servicein Cuba, on the iiuh»ra frontier, intbc BJudan, and in the Boer war,

Pi i isto be Under-Secretary for the Colo-nies. We have previously said; thatthe policy of adventure, regardingthe colonies, begun by Mr. Chamber- ilain,, would come to an end with &f i
appointment of Lord Elgin as Secre-tary.: :'Lord Elgin may have a ten-dency to follow old courses;- but lieis likely to; have some difficulty inkeeping his dashing subordinate incheck.

" Of theothers named little need be said, ex-cept that the Attorney-General, Mr.John Lawsoa Walton, is an able law-yer and a policed speaker.'
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
A RUSSIAN OPINION ON COUNTWITTE.
M. Roano vitch , the manager of the Tri-bune Russe, lias declared to a representativeof tho Paris Matin that the revolutionarymovement would bo maintained. The pre-sent condition of affairs was but a shortstage in the course of events. . "No doubtthe railway strike will cease. The ap-proach of winter, the destitution' andwomen's tears, as well as the apparent con-cessions made to the pppulai demands, willcause the workmen to return to their dens.But this lull will hardly last long, and thecoming revival will probably be provokedby a peasant movement. The Socialist, Re-volutionary, and Democratic parties feel noconfidence. Count Witte's policy is anartful one.. 'He would like to bring abouta split in tho Opposition camp, and to con-vince the Moderates that the Socialists,whom ho treats as Anarchists, are their ene-mies. The intestine struggle by which theLiberal forces would thus be exhausted—the Moderates against the Democrats andRevolutionaries —would enable Count Witteto restore order, and, at least partially, todestroy tho revolutionary organisation,while reducing the pretensions of the Radi-cals." Count Witte is one of that seriesof statesmen pursuing two objects who arecalled to power in Russia at critical mo-ments. When it becomes. necessary togrant certain liberties the Tsars, from, Nicho-las I. downwards, have' employed eithermen with/Liberal ideas—soft-spoken menwho make promises, but do not keep them,and who are as cunning as foxes, like Svia-topolk-Mirski—or energetic men ready to re-sort to repression and terrible as wolves,like Plehve or Ignatieff. Witte combinesthose two qualities. He resembles at thesame time the fox arid the wolf. His pre-sent dictatorship recalls the dictature decceur of Loris Melikoff," who v.'as summonedto power in 1831 by Alexander in., afterthe assassination of the Emperor Alexander11. Witte is more dangerous than Trepofffor the Russian Socialists and Russian Libe-ral ideas."
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS.
The resolutions in regard to the extensionof secondary education in Auckland; whichwere pass&l at the recent conference be-tween the Auckland Grammar School Boardand the Auckland Education Board, werebrought up at yesterday's meeting of thefirst-named body and adopted. The reso-lutions, which have already been publishedin these columns, affirm the desirableness ofthe re-establishment of the Auckland Girls'High School under the control of the Gram-mar School Board; that technical dayclasses be conducted by the EducationBoard, and that the Grammar School Boardmake temporary provision for carrying outthe required extension until the re-establish-meiit of the Girls' High School takes place.The Grammar School Board, at its meetingyesterday, decided, on the motion of Pro-fessor Brown, to ask the Education Boardto grant the Board a lease of the Howe-street reserve, for the purpose of -. the HighSchool, at a peppercorn rental, pending thepassing of the necessary legislation for thetransfer of the land. Professor Thomasand. Messrs. Luke and Bagnall were ap-pointed to assist the headmaster (Mr. J.W. Tibbs) in securing temporary accommo-dation of a suitable character.
A humorous incident in connection withthe recent Parliamentary elections, comesfrom Te Arai (near Mangawai). At a meet-ing of the Auckland Education Board afortnight ago a letter was read stating thatthe public schoolhouse had been, burglari-ously entered, and the assistance of thepolice was called in, with a. view to trac-ing the offender. A letter from the guard-ian of the place was read at yesterday'smeeting of the arid quickly dispelledthe breaking and entering theory. Ac-cording to the constable, the custom was tohang the school key near the steps, so thatthe schoolroom might be used when re-quired. Hearing that the Opposition can-didate intended using the building for apolitical meeting, a wily Government sup-porter sought to checkmate him by hidinghe key. The candidate, however, was notto be robbed of his chance of -ddra:-sing theelectors, and made his way into the schoolby means of one of the windows, afterwards.finding means of openiifg the door. It wasthis that gave rise to the burglary r^sry.

in Rotorua of the probability of thegeyser playing within a ffw minutes, andmany of the visitors foil to see thismost interesting spectacle!

Speaking at the prize distribution cere-mony at Three Kings College yesterday, theRev. \V. blade said the time was comingwhen it will bo necessary, in the inarch ofevents, to acquire the Maori lands for set-tlement, and he hoped that .;.the Maori*would be the first to settle the land. (Ap-plause.) f-io take the lands, and hand overso much money per annum to.the Maoris,,would ruin them as a race, for.the salvationof the Maori was in teaching them to work,anil his idea Was that Maori experimentalfarms should be started, and the Maori boystrained to fanning pursuits. ■ After thateach Maori should be given a start with afarm, and by that means the " taihoa" wouldbe knocked out of them..

When she was four days out from New, : York on her trip to Australia find New-.Zealand the well-known Tyser line stea-
mer Star of Ireland was struck by . a cy-clone, and for some hours underwent a par-ticularly trying ordeal. The hurricane
'- blew with terrific' strength, and. causedmountainous seas, which frequently brokeon board, and kept the decks in a. con-
• tinual) state of flood. It was naturallyfound impracticable for the vessel to pro-ceed with ordinary speed In the face ofsuch opposition, and her engines were con-sequently "slowed down" until he condi-tions improved. The vessel combated thestorm splendidly, and finally emerged from
: the engagement unharmed.
*-f Now is the time to attack the sparrowjf-'C. . pest (says the Timaru Herald), as there isftj \ • so little seed for them in the country that
the birds are keen to accept anything thatmay be provided for them. Mr. J. Mahony,
! member of the Levels County Council, in-forms us that ho saw a most successful ex-periment ' upon'sparrows, with the recipe
V i,'." given by Mr. J. F. Douglas to the Secre-l-'l tary of Agriculture last year, or the year•"* before. This recipe requires the wheat to
be moistened, with milk (on the outsidemerely), and then sprinkled with finely-
' powdered strychnine, and well shaken to5, distribute the poison over the wheat. 'Theril'M* birds should be fed for a few days, prefer-Ti £ ably with wheat among chaff, until they
1 become accustomed to feeding on the spotthen they take the poisoned grain readily,and M'r. Mahony states that they fall in
••• hundreds. - 1 ■ - ■Sunda Singh, an Indian hawker, who died
at Sydney (N.S.W.) recently, was crematedat Hay.
"
A pile of; wood was collected forthe purpose, and the coffin, containing thedeceased, was conveyed by an. undertakerfrom the hospital to a spot where the
JpC' 'pyre ,had been erected, four of deceased'sco-religionists marching after the hearse.When the funeral procession arrived at thespot arranged for the cremation, the coffin
: ' '- was placed on top of the pile of logs, somelighter .wood being placed around. Kerosenewas poured on the wood in several places,
-Vf /and then the pile was set fire to shortlyafter four o'clock. No ceremony was con-ducted by those carrying out the act ofincineration, , owing, as one of them ex-plained, to there being no Hindoo prieiit inthe district. The burning of the body took
„several hours, four Hindoos watching pa-tently. After the life bad gone out the
watchers 6tated their intention of recovering' deceased's teeth and finger-nails from the
... ashes, and forwarding them to his rela-/ tives in India, to be subsequently thrown
into the Ganges.mA sharp' comment on the West- Austra-
lian Licensing Act was made from the Kal-goorlie Police Court bench the other day,at the close of a case of Sunday-trading,preferred against Patrick Quealy, a local
|S||||ss publican. Defendant explained that thefpiPlf funeral■of one of the members of his family'
" took place on the day in question, and thatafter the funeral "he asked the friends whohad attended tho funeral to have a drink.This apparently constituted the offence.
* " The presiding magistrate (Dr. Kerney), after,• conferring with other justices on the Bench,
said: "The case is dismissed, and it isj ■ considered that the law is a fool."
Candidates are (says an exchange) some-times caught tripping when called upon to
- answer questions. Are you in favour ofpermitting a man to marry his deceased'swife's sister?" one of them was asked* the
v'; " other night. "Most certainly," was the'* prompt reply ; "it is already the law."
"Well, then," he was next asked, "wouldyen permit ,a man to many his widow's
ffeip niece'/" • "Yes," answered the candidate,•$0; without a moment's hesitation. Then aS3® titter started in a corner of the hall, and\V , gradually spread over the whole audience,
gathering strength as .it went, ,until it hadswelledinto a loud roar of laughter. And
ajjjj&i it wag only when the candidate got homeand thought the question out with his wifethat he discovered how he had put his foot
- in it.

Seton Karr, who has beenstaying at the Central 'Hotel.'.Mr. SetonKarr is a well-kilown traveller and sports-man, and'lie gives it as his opinion that in10 or 15 years New Zealand will be one ofthe finest sporting oountries in the world.In the course of his wanderings over theearth, Mr. Seton Karr has visited India morethan 20 time3, chiefly in pursuit of big game,and he has been the guest of many of thenative rulers who are, almost, without excep-tion, keen sportsmen, especially delightingin tiger, and pig hunting excursions. Hislast expedition, just before the Russo-Japa-nese war, was with General Swayne, R.E.,across Russia and Siberia into Mongolia,after the oris amon, the largest wild sheepin the world. This animal grows horns 58inin length, and, therefore, specimens areeagerly sought after by spoilsmen. Mr.Seton Karr's expeditions include 17 ■ intotropical Africa, nine across the EgyptianSahara, and numerous journeys into Alaska,and other little-frequented parts of thoglobe, including Persia, Zululand, Lapland,and Finland, and in the latter country hofound the trout-fishing very much like thatin New Zealand.
His brother, Sir H. Seton Karr, is amember of Parliament for the Premier's na-tive town of St. Helens, in Lancashire.Mr. H. W. Seton Karr discovered theemerald mines and the ancient flint minesof Egypt, and has presented collections ofdifferent implements from these mines to allthe museums in Australia and New Zealand.Those at present in the Auckland Museumwill not be on view, till after the opening ofthe new ethnographicalgallery, some monthsher.ee.

The local repre-sentative of the N.Z. Amateur. Rowing As-,sociation wrote drawing attention to sb<.> 'totthat the Regatta Committee was advertisinga whaleboat race, to be rowed under therules of the association.

ALLEGED PROFESSIONAL MIS-CONDUCT.
CHARGE AGAINST A SOLICITOR,
[BY telegraph.— ASSOCIATION.]• Dunedin, Wednesday.
The Supreme Court was engaged to-day ina case in which application was made tomake absolute a rule nisi calling on F. Z.Moore to show cause why lie should not bestruck off the roll of solicitors, or why lieshould not be suspended from practice onthe grounds of alleged professional miscon-duct.
Mr. W. C. Macgrogor, who appeared forMoore, said it was difficult to find out whatthe charges were. What he gathered wasthat Moore took proceedings against MarkRogers, coal merchant, on judgment sum-mons, without authority, and that ho con-tinued proceedings after the withdrawal ofany implied authority. Moore had beenengaged to collect certain overdue calls tothe Prince Arthur Dredging Company,amongst others from Rogers. He endea-voured to enforce payment by attachmentorder, but liability was evaded. Mattersdrifted on, the company went into liquida-tion, the assets were sold to a new company,and a liquidator appointed. On thestrength of previous instructions, a judg-ment summons had been taken out againstRogers, and it was the latter who went tothe Law Society. Mr. Macgregor, in thecourse of his address, contended (1) that F.Z. Moore had nothing to do with the issueof the summons, but simply signed the pa-pers placed before him by the clerks in theordinary routine of office business (2) thathe had to rely on his clerk for instructionsfrom the liquidators; (3) that Moore genu-inely believed in good faith that he was act-ing under instructions from Mr. McOracken,the liquidator. He thought it monstrousthat a man should be brought before theCourt-and held up to public obloquy on apenal charge because a defaulting defendanthad refused, owing to a technicality in con-nection with the proceedings, to pay a justdebt.
Mr. A. S. Adams having been heard onbehalf of the Law Society, Mr. Justice Wil-liams said he would give a written decision.

One hundred andtwenty years ago* the Admiralty gave thesociety ilio man-of-var Warepito as a train-ing ship, and since then 65,000 boys havebeen trained for the Royal Navy and themerchant service. . At its quarterly meetingat Clark's Plao», Bishops gate, London, re-cently the society accepted the offer ofMessrs.

The boys were to be properly in-structed in all matters connected with theseaman's craft, and to assist in working theship and handling the sails. All the boysintended for the Illawarra were to be ap-prenticed to the superintendent of the War-spite for two years as a deterrent to boysthrowing up a promising- career before giv-ing it a fair trial. The actual cost to the
Marine Society of the voyage was estimatedat about £2700. One gentleman promised£100 if nine others, would do likewise, andtwo ladies had promised £500.

■■ -
Mr. Watson generally approves of tiemeasure, but Mr. Cook, the deputy-Leader'of the Opposition, says that the Bill is the"hottest dose"- that the Australian traderhas yet had administered to him. ■; It wasnot a proposal regulating competition, but *

preventing it. It might seek. to repress: ;

SIR W. LYNE'S SPEECH."; (Received .December 13, ; 11.3 p.m.) \
' Melbourne, December 13.Sh W. Lyne, in moving the second read>.
ing of the Anti-Trust Bill, said that everyeffort should be made to preserve local .*• "
industries. If ' justification . were neededfor introducing the Bill, it was found in • !ih-s experience of the United 1 States in theoperation of. trusts. He quoted the Ameri-can Stock Journal to show! the * system ,adopted by the Harvester Trust to crushopposition. There was urgent necessityfor doing something to cop© with the Har- jvester Trust when' they found a foreignfirm dumping its goods in. Australia- wilnthe express purpose of killing local indus-tries. Anyone who would not take action ~ .
was not worthy of the name Australian,and ought to be called a Little Australian.Under the Bill a trust was not a firm or an r /
individual; there had to be a combination.The shipping companies would not be af- ■fected unless they joined in' a monopoly 'with a joint board to control the whole ■of their ships and direct what freightshould be charged, to the injury of the .public. The Government did not wish any- V. "
thing to be done which, would cause aninternal monopoly and increase prices. Al- ■ready, owing to his action, the price ofthe Harvesters had been reduced. . TheBill only dealt with, foreign and inter-State > -trade; that confined '.to one State did nob
'come within its scope. The interests ofproducers, workers, - and- consumers wereall considered. It was necessary that per- <sons should wilfully engage' in 1 combina- ' • rtion or monopolies before they became af-fected by the Bill. He commcnded it to /every section of the •. community. • : . "
On the motion of Mr. Cook the debate :was adjourned until to-morrow. ' . '
CAPITAL SITE QUESTION.ill. Pnlsford, in the Senate yesterday,moved the adjournment to discuss thecapital site question. Ho said he con-sidered, that New South Wales had reason-able justification for annoyance in thematter. He thought the blame for the ■- -
I difficulty partly; was due to New SouthWales herself.
Mr. Play ford said the motion was a;gross abase of the Standing Orders. TheGovernment had promised to introduce a,Bill this session that might deal with thequestion. The whole of the blame was dueto New South Wales, .who had offered the 'site at Dalget-y, and then had withdrawnit. 1

THE REIGN OF ANARCHYIN RUSSIA.
A TERRIBLE ' STORY OFBLOODSHED.
CONFLICTS BETWEEN TROOPS' AND CIVILIANS. ;
; APPALLING OUTRAGES. ,
MASSACRE OF JEWS ATODESSA.
FRIGHTFUL ATROCITIES.The English and American . papers receivedby tho mail are full of terrible stories ofbutchery in Russia, where a reign ofanarchy prevails.
An Odessa correspondent, writing onNovember 4, gives the following particularsof the massacre of Jews there: —
The events in the suburbs of Molda-vanka, Slobodka, and Bugaieovka lastnight were of a. most terrible nature.Bands of ruffians accompanied by police-men invaded .ill the Jewish houses andslaughtered, the occupants. Men andwomen were felled and decapitated .withaxes. Children were torn limb from limb,and their brains dashed out against thewalls. The streets were "littered with thecorpses which were hurled out of the win-dows. The houses of the murdered Jewswere then systematically destroyed, andthe Jewish population of the district waswiped out.
In the poorest quarter of the town theinhabitants began to massacre the students.The newly-formed -citizen 'militia offeredsome resistance, and saved the lives ofmany of the students. The police, how-ever, appeared on the scene, and, afterdisarming the militia, shot them all withtheir own. revolvers.
It is impossible to estimate the numberof those killed in the rioting, but the totalmust be enormous. In the Jewish hospi-tal this morning 3715 wounded, most ofthem seriously, wero under treatment, inin tho Municipal - Hospital 1140. and atthe different ambulance stations 682. Thenumber of hooligans killed is, roughly, 120.Yesterday four waggons full of killed, eachcontaining 30 corpses, were driven to thecemeteries, and 180 bodies have been re-moved to-day. A citizens' committee hasbeen organised to relieve tho distress.
An officer who witnessed Friday's mas-sacres begged his superior officer to givehim a company of troops, promising tostop the slaughter at once. This requestwas refused, the authorities declaring thatthe Christian population must be allowedto give vent to their patriotic feelings,.'which had been outraged by the Jews, -whospat at the Emperor's portrait and insultedthe national! flag. - The officer protestedthat no conduct could excuse the massacre;of .peaceful citizens, and accused his su-perior officers' of dishonouring the armyby knowingly conniving at the slaughterand robbery of the Jews. The officer wasthereupon arrested, and will be tried forinsulting his superior officers. .
Now, when all is over, and when thou-sands have been killed and wounded, theGovernor-General declares that anyonecaught pillaging a house or a shop will beshot. His proclamation states that thestrictest measures will bo taken to quel!disturbances, and it calls upon the peoplenot- to fire upon the troops, threatening,in the event of their doing so. that theirhouses will be bombarded with artillery.This proclamation lias in a measure re-stored calm. The Cossacks have disap-peared from the centre of the town, whichis now quiet, and their place has beentaken by infantry and police. The tram-way service lias
"
been resumed. Some ofthe* shops and markets have reopened, andwork has begun again at the bakeries.
! Every Jewish bakery has been destroyed,! and 600 families have been rendered home-less. Some of the ruffians put their victimsto , death by hammering nails ; into theirheads. Eyes were gouged out, ears cut•off, and tongues were wrenched out withpincers. Numbers of women were disem-bowelled. The aged and sick, who werefound hidden, in the cellars, were- soaked inpetroleum and burnt alive in their homes.
Police and soldiers marched at the headof the bands, crying out, "The Jews havekilled our Emperor and sacked the
#
cathe-dral. They've massacred the Christians.Cut them all to pieces," and leading themob to the houses singled out for de-struction. The inhabitants of many housespurchased their liberty from the'mob bypaying tjie leading policeman from 50 to300 roubles (£5 to £30). The police wouldnow allow any assistance to be given tothe wounded, actually firing upon the RedCross workers.
THE BUTCHERY AT MINSK.Private letters received in St. Peters-
burg from Minsk give terrible ails ofthe, butchery*1 perpetrated there by the sol-diery on October 31. A crowd which wascelebrating the issue of the Tsar's manifestohad divided into two parts, one of whichwas outside the Governor's house, and theother lin the square in front of the station.It was/ the latter which met with suchawful treatment. V Two companies of theOmsk Regiment were posted at the station,and when the demonstrators arrived oneof the officers. took off his cap and said,"I am with you." A second followed suit,and after several speeches had been deliver-ed the president of the meeting called upon"the crowd to disperse, which they pro-ceeded peacefully to do.
At this moment, without the least warn-ing, the first company,, posted on the rail-way bridge to the right of the station,fired a volley into their midst, killing andwounding ' many and causing an indescrib-able panic, in which hundreds of persons,including women and children, were tramp-led under foot. Another volley followed,and then the second company, which wasposted on the platform, also opened fireupon the struggling mass of people throughthe windows of the station and the buffet.Twenty: soldiers fired from the exit doorof the baggage office, and another detach-ment from the left side of the station. Ina few minutes the whole square was filledwith killed and wounded. The fleeingmulti-tude had' to pass . the . police station, fromwhich they were also lired upon. Amongthe dead were the two officers who hadsympathised with the demonstrators.About 400 persons were wounded.
INCIDENTS IN BRIEF.The Governor-General of Warsaw has is:
sued orders that every agitator caughtI aimed is to be shot- on the' spot.
[ In three cases at Odessa unknown per-sons fired from the balconies on to thetroops below. The soldiers at once rushedinto the houses, and with unheard-of bar-barity massacred all the inhabitants.
Messages from Novosybkofi' relate a ter-rible story of the plundering of Jewishshops and business houses, all of whichhave been laid in ruins. Almost every-thing in the town has been destroyed.
At Pabian-ice a crowd of workmen whowere marching in procession found theirway barred by a force of infantry. Theworkmen refused to disperse, and the sol-diers fired, killing eight persons and wound-ing 24.. The streets of Odessa are filled with hugecrowds of workmen who are forcibly closingall the shops and restaurants. The tram-way service is entirely suspended. Thechemists' shops have been transformed intohospitals, and the doctors have organisedambulance corps.
During the rioting at Tiflis the studentskilled were at least ( 15, while 30 or 40 werewounded.? In a neignoouring house 60 deadbodies were found. In the newspaper officethere • was a general massacre.; Within ; aspace of : 150 -metres in Golowski Avenue
, 300 ,men were killed.
The " Tiflis correspondent.. of tho ParisJournal, M. Gabriel; Bertrand, telegraphsthat all day- o?i Saturday, - November 4,that town was a pandemonium of butchery.All night Jong the dead were being cartedoff, and this correspondent., learned thatthey numbered at least 1000.
At Minsk an immense crowd was aboutto hold a meeting, but was prevented fromdoing so. The crowd thereupon proceededto parade the streets, but encounteredtroops, who ' fired a volley. Intermittentfiring was kept up, and did not cea.se until100 persons had been killed and 600wounded.
According to details which have beenreceived of the disorders at Theodosia, inthe Crimea, hooligans are plundering andpillaging the town, particularly Jewishshops and houses. ' '1ney have freed theprisoners in the gaol, and ; the latter areassisting in the looting. The ordinary lifeof the town is at a standstill.
At Ismail tho 'mob burned alive 11 Jewswho liid from pursuit- in a hayrick. Thevillage of Kalarasch. hat, been devastatedand burned; 59 Jews. perished in theflames, and 200 fled to the next village,but some >vero caught by the peasants.Seven were bludgeoned to deatli, and threesoaked with petroleum and burnt.
Infantry pickets are posted at everystreet corner in Warsaw, and the city pre-sents a desolate, appearance. A soldier,while pursuing a workman who had beenengaged in posting up proclamations, firedseveral shots from his rifle, and killed notonlv the workman but a woman and a childwho happened to be in the street at thotime.
At. Kherson the mob, carrying a portraitof the Emperor and national flags, andsinging the National Anthem, proceeded topillage the Jewish shops, and afterwardswent to tho cathedral to attend a. thanks-giving service in connection with the Tsar'smanifesto. The rioters then proceeded tothe bazaar, pillaging and committing out-rages.
Some tragic episodes of the reign ofanarchy are now coming to light. A Jew-ish house in Prokhorovskaia-street, Odessa,was -being defended, by 46 railway work-men, when a company of infantry headedby a police officer appeared. The soldiersshot and killed every one of the defenders.The mob then pillaged the house and putall the inmates to death.
The gasworks at Raval have been dam-aged and the public thoroughfares are indarkness. Crowds -of workmen are parad-ing the streets shouting and lettingoff revolvers. The theatre is in flames.During the night there were several col-lisions with the police and troops. Eightpersons are stated to have been killed, and40 wounded. ; - v :
-..
Bands of roughs and thieves at Moscoware robbing private flats that have beendeserted by their owners. Owing to thocontinual attempts to set fire to and destroythe barracks, the soldiers are camping outin the precincts of tho Kremlin fortress.Only large detachments of, infantry andcavalry are parading the streets, as smallpatrols do not dare to show themselves. . '.
At Tiflis the shops and all the industrialestablishments and State institutions areclosed. Firing and bomb-throwing arecommon in the streets, the strikers firing ondroshkies. All the Caucasian railwayshave ceased working, as well as the Trans-caspian lines. A military train at Tiflishas been derailed. Several persons werekilled and injured, and eight carriages weresmashed.
A band of hooligans appeared before theJewish Agricultural School, Odessa, anddemanded money. The haul mistress gavethem all she had on condition that thelives of 35 orphan pupils should bo spared,and induced the men to depart. They re-appeared later, however, and ransackedthe school. The children fled, pursued bythe cowardly ruffians, and eight of themwere killed.
'At Mascow a,crowd assembled in Myas-nitykaya-street. A squadron of dragoonspassed and was respectfully greeted by thecrowd. Suddenly the dragoons turned andcharged the crowd, slashing at the peoplewith their swords. On tho commanderbeing asked why he had not preventedsuch violence, he replied that tho troopswould not listen to liim, therefore he coulddo nothing.
The suburb of Dalriik, in Odessa, hasbeen the scene of great carnage. All theJewish houses and shops have been plun-dered and burnt. In the large .villages ofSeverinovka and Anatolievka and in thetowns of Ovidiopol, Maiaka, Akerman,Ataki, Olviopol, and Winitza similar sceneshave been witnessed. Hundreds of personshave been killed and thousands woundedand rendered homeless. .
Terrible deeds of plunder and violence 011
the part of the police and troops have oc-curred at Kazan. People peacefully walk-ing along the street were sent flying byrifle fire, many being killed or wounded.Waskresenskaia-sireel has been turned intoii shambles. Immense pools of blood dyethe snow, one of the greatest extent lyingopposite the Ecclesiastical Seminary. Thepopulation is beside itself with rage.
At Odessa the police violently forced theirway into a hospital, carried off the bodiesof five people who were killed on Sunday,and buried them secretly, in order to pre-vent the great demonstration which wasexpected to take place at the funeral. TheUniversity authorities and the Town Councilmade an energetic protest, and the policewere compelled to return the bodies, whichwill be buried again with due solemnity.
At Zgierz, near Lodz, the students ofthe commercial school, beaded by two pro-fessors, organised a street procession bear-ing red flags. A company of infantry ap-peared 011 the scene, and the officer in com-mand ordered his men to fire on the stu-dents, but the soldiers refused to obey theorder. The students, after heartily cheer-ing the soldiers, dispersed quietly. Therecalcitrant company has been placed underarrest. .
The condition of Odessa is still alarming,and the population is not quiet. Duringthe disturbances the Cossacks brutally fellupon peaceful residents, pillaged theirhomes, and beat them to death, draggingwomen and girls to prison, and in somecases subjecting them to shocking treatment.In many cases the gendarmes fired upon thefuneral processions of victims, whom theyhad killed themselves, and upon Bed Crossdetachments.
At Poltava the Cossacks dispersed apeaceful deputation which the chief of policehad ordered to assemble, in order .to bopresent at the liberation of political pri-soners. Some were killed, and a greatnumDer seriously wounded, in several casesmortally. Twenty-eight of the victims arelying in hospital, while many were taken,to their homes. A terrible panic prevailsin the town, and great indignation is ex-pressed on ail sides.
At the corner of a street in Odessa,where a barricade had been erected, a stu-dent stood upon it and appealed to theCossacks, who had come up, not to killtheir brothers, who were struggling forfreedom and the common cause of thepeople, but to join them in their struggle.To this appeal the Cossacks replied by fir-ing four volleys at the barricade, killingnine, an dwounding nearly 40. , Similartragedies have been enacted in every partof the town, and many private apartmentshave been converted into hospitals.
Accounts have just come in of the riot-ing at several towns in the south of xvitssia.At Simferopol 52 persons were killed and65.'.'wounded..;; Novogeorgiesk has beensacked, not a single Jewish house or shopbeing left standing. At Krementchug 84shops and 120 houses have been looted,and the losses are estimated at 2,500,000roubles (£250,000). At the railway stationin Rawlelnaya, the rioters, led by soldiers,forcibly entered,two trains as they stoppedand robbed and killed 16 Jewish passen-gers, seriously wounding '38 others.
HARBOUR EXTENSION ATLYTTELTON.
CANAL PROPOSALS.[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
. Christchurch. 'Wednesday.At a meeting of the Lyttelton HarbourBoard this afternoon, a lengthy report, waspresented by Mr. Cyrus J, Williams, theBoard's engineer, on the subject of furtherharbour extensions, and on the feasibilityof constructing a canal from the sea to\r'.Christchurch. The report contains two al-ternative propositions for harbour exten-sions at Lytt'elton, .both capable of .'eingworked through tho Moorliouso tunnel, andtwo propositions for a canal from the seatowards Christchurch. The first of thoharbour extension propositions provides fora small additional harbour named in the re-port, " Striking Point Harbour," in connec-tion with the reclaimed land eastward ofOfficers' Point. Tho estimated cost was£275,000. The second proposition provideslor a completely new harbour ait Golla'.AsBay, with the necessary reclamation to corncct it with the present railway system.The estimated cost.would be £669,000 inround. numbers. Tho first of the canal pro-positions-provides for a tidal basin formedin the estuarynear the mouth of the Health-cote River, connected to the sea by meansof an open cutting 30ft deep at low waterspring tides, opening into the sea just out-side Sumner Heads, in five fathoms at low'water of spring tides. The total estimatedcost of this proposition is put at £1,153,684,.but this might be reduced by £200,000 if.only 50 acres of tidail basin were for the pre-,,sent excavated. The second canal proposi-tion provides for a tidal basin or port justbelow Wilson's Road, opposite the Linwoodrailway station. The total estimated costof construction i5.£1,743.392, which includesai sum of £379,528 for the resumption of 358acres of land. The total cost for the firstinstalment of the work to bring the schemeinto working order is put at £1,532,864.The Board decided to defer consideration ofthe report until after the annual meeting,to be held next February.
WARKWORTH COACHFATALITY.
. THE INQUEST.An inquest was held at Devonport yester-day by the coroner (Mr, T. Gresham) intothe circumstances attending the death ofJoseph Scholium, who was hurled from thebox of the Warkworth to Devonport mailcoach on the previous afternoon. Dr. C.H. Bennett said when he saw the deceasedhe was suffering from fracture of the skulland injuries to the spinal cord. It was a
hopeless case, and Scholium died a few.hours after witness saw him. ;
John Barton, sen., the owner of thecoach, said the accident was caused by thehorses shieing at anewly-formed culvert onthe main road. ~ Deceased was seated on thebox with another passenger named Casey.Witness was pitched off his seat, and Schol-ium jumped off as tho coach was overturn-in"-. He fell on his feet, but turned over,and his head struck the ground with someforce. Witness picked him up, but he wasthen unconscious. The horses had beenfully two years on the road. Tho accidentwas quite unavoidable.
In reply to the jury witness said a ratchetbrake might have steadied the vehicle, butwould not have prevented the accident.
Mr. H. M. Wilson, civil engineer, whowas in the coach at the time of the accident,
said Scholium tried to regain the reins, whichhad fallen on to.tho horses when Bartonwas thrown off. Barton was a thoroughlycompetent driver, and a steady man. Thejury returned a verdict of "Accidentaldeath."

A CHAT ABOUT TRAMWAYS.
AUCKLAND COMPARED WITH, ; OTHER CITIES.
i INTERVIEW WITH MR. M. F. OAREY.Me. M. F. Carey, chief electrical engi-neer to the Auckland Electric Tramways
j Company, who has just returned from atrip to Great Britain, America, and Can-ada, imparted to a Herald representativeyesterday some of his impressions regard-ing the 36 tramway systems inspected byhim during his tour. Dealing first withdifferent styles of cars, Mr. Carey saidthat .whilst elaborately-constructed and fur-nished cars were in vogue on systems
| which had been established some ten ortwelve years, the modern idea was largely
1 in favour of the plain car with uncushioned! wooden seats,, similar to those in use inAuckland. It was considered by sanitaryauthorities that cushioned scats weresimply a medium for the collection of dustand disease germs, and' on the score ofhealth their use was being discouraged,11l regard to the permanent way and over-head construction the Auckland . systemcompared very favourably witn those whichhad come under his observation during histour. Respecting general manipulation,also, lie considered that the Auckland Com-pany had nothing to learn from the systemsinspected by him. The Auckland fareswere much lower per car mile, and thenumber of cars in use in proportion tothe population was greater than in at least75 per cent, of the cities visited. In re-gard to speed, the Auckland trams ■ com-pared- favourably with those in Americaand Canada, except in the case of somesystems which operated over absolutelyflat surfaces instead of having heavy gra-dients to contend with, as in Auckland."How does Auckland compare with other
cities in regard to accidents?"■ "I was greatly surprised," replied Mr.
Carey, "on going into statistics, to findthat wo are fully 20 per cent, lower inaccidents of all kinds'than any systemvisited by me—that is, of course,, in pro-portion to the car mileage and the numberof passengers carried per annum. ' Themanager of one of the most up-to-datecompanies in Canada informed me thattheir yearly accident bill amounted on anaverage to 100,000 dollars." _
On the question of-overcrowding beingtouched on, Mr. Carey said that in theUnited States and Canada overcrowdingwas permitted without the slightest restric-tion. Passengers wero allowed to stand oilthe running-board-of the toast-rack cars, on.the platform steps, on the collision fender,and, in fact, anywhere where a footholdcould bo obtained. In Great Britain, al-thougn passengers were carried to the ex-tent of 15 or 18 passengers per car in ex-cess of the seating accommodation, nonewere allowed to stand on the steps or therunning-boards, .as in Canada and theStates.
On the subject of proposed improvementsin Auckland, Mr. Carey said that, as al-ready stated, the company had decided tohave five new cars built locally. The trucksand electrical equipment for these had al-ready been ordered, and would arrive hereby the time that the bodies of the carswere completed. It was intended to givethe air-brake, as well as the magnetic-brake, a trial. The boiler power at thepower-station would also be increased.
In reply to a parting remark anent thedust problem, Mr. Carey said that uhe use
of electric sprinklers, which were doinggood work in other cities; must be deferreduntil terms were made with the City Coun-ci\
TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION.
SUMMER SCHOOL AND OTHERMATTERS.
Several matters in connection with the
Department of Technical * Education andManual Training were brought,under thenotice of the/Auckland Education Board bythe director (Mr. George George) at yester-day's meeting. '*, ■
Touching first on the summer school tech-nical course from January 22 to February 2for the benefit of teachers who had not hadan opportunity of attending the specialclasses for teachers, Mr. George stated thatthere were 137 applicants entitled to receiveinstruction. This would necessitate two ad-ditional instructors, ' and on his suggestionMr. Wallace, jun., and Miss Kenden wereappointed extra instructors for the summerschool course.
The director reported that the public ex-hibition of work done by students attendingthe dressmaking and millinery classes, held'in the technical school buildings last week,had been very successful, the work done indressmaking "being particularly good, andquite the best lie had seen at any technicalschool.
„
The secretary of the Board (Mr. V. ivRice) read a communication from the townclerk (Mr. Wilson) bearing on the site in
ellesley-street for the technical school.This stated that the City Council was desir-ous in every way of meeting the Board mthe matter of a "site, and agreed to lease aportion of lot 23 and the whole of lot 24to the Board for the purpose mentioned.It was also suggested that with a view i.o
obtaining additional sections to increase thearea to thice-quarters of an acre, the Boardshould introduce a Bill to Parliament togive them the reversionary interest in allot-ments at present pledged by the Council forloan, purposes and power to resume theleases under the Public Works, Act in theevent of the. land being required'for theerection of buildings in connection with thetechnical college. 'On the motion of Mr. L.J. Baguall it was decided to proceed on thelines suggested.
In connection with the swimming classesfor public school children, Mr. Georgepointed out that the engagement of the in-structor terminated with the close of thepresent year, and asked what provision wasto be made for the future. It was decidedto call a meeting of the Swimming Com-mittee appointed by the Board to discussthe question generally, and to leave it tothe Executive Committee of the Board ap-pointed to deal with educational mattersduring the vacation to take such steps asmight be deemed desirable.
The Thames Schools Committee wroteurging the .Board to allow Mr. Cockburn,art instructor, who has been instructing theteachers of that district for rather overthree months, to complete 12 months in thecentre. Mr. George stated that the resultsas far as the Thames was concerned hadbeen somewhat disappointing in that thenumber of teachers attending the classes haddwindled down from 28 to eight or nine. Hethought that all centres should bo given theservices of the instructor for a reasonableperiod, and added that Mr. Cockburn mightagain return to tho Thames later on if ne-cessary. The director suggested Hamiltonas the next centre to have the services ofthe instructor, and this was endorsed bythe Board. The application from the Thamesfor an extension of Mr. Cockburn's servicesfor 12 months was declined.

KILLING A SEAL.
TWO MEM" FINED £25 EACH.[BT riSV7'.';UAP!I.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
''. Dunedin, Wednesday.A surprising amount of ignorance prevailsin respect' to the law protecting seals, andmany people do not aeem to be aware of theseriousness of the offence they commit inslaying. the harmless and , interesting seal.At any rate, two men named Geo. FrancisMovie'and James Potter Thorn, were edu-cated on the subject in the Police Court herethis morning, and the lesson was a salutaryone. They were charged with killing a sealat Waitati Bay, on November 11, andpleaded guilty. "
Mr. Chamberlain, Collector of Customs,saiid the facts of the ease were very simpl;The two accused were in a boat at Waitat .
Bay, when they saw a seal, and at on-.shot it withe waiting to consider the .'on-
sequence:.', or whether the,seal would be ofany use .to them when they had killed it.They had admitted their wrong-doing, andasked for leniency. The Department hadno desire to be vindictive, or to press forany heavy fines, but it should be widelyknown that' seals are protected throughoutNew Zealand, and -must not be molested.The coast of Southern New Zealand onceteemed with seals. There were thousandsof thorn, and they might have become asought of enormous wealth, but they wererelentlessly killed or driven away, and now,after the Government had carefully protect-ed them for many years, hoping they mightgradually return to their old 1 haunts, nosooner did a steal show. his nose in thesewaters than some weak-minded person, pro-bably mistaking himself for a sportsman,got a> gun and killed it. After quoting thedifferent sections of the Aot showing thatthe maximum penalty for the offence was£500, and the minimum £25, Mr. Chamber-lain said he did not ask for a heavy penalty,but merely for a sufficient fine to make otherpeople hesitate before committing ai similaroffence.
In defence, the accused said that whenthay saw the seal they thought it was aporpoise, and at once shot at it.
Mr. Widdowson, S.M., said that underthe circumstances the lowest penalty wouldbe inflicted, a line of £25 each, with 10s ex-penses ealch, and the defendants would beallowed oae month to pay the fines.
Mr. Chamberlain said he would make re-presentations to the Department to reducethe fine. ....

A QUESTION OF COURTESY.
CHRISTCHURCH COUNCIL ANDCANTERBURY HALL.
[BY TELEGRAPH.—press ASSOCIATION.]CHnis'ionuECH, Wednesday.
At a meeting of directors of the. CanterburyHall Company yesterday afternoon resolu-tions were, adopted expressing surprise tbaibthe Christchurch City Council should deemit necessary to act in such a discourteousmanner as disclosed by the press reportsof the discussion upon the subject of thepurchase of the company's property; thatthe consent to' sell the property to the city,be at once Withdrawn, and the alterationsbe proceeded with forthwith; that theabove resolutions be forwarded to theMayor, and to the newspapers for publica-tion. •
The chairman of the company, in a letterto the Mayor, stated that the presentnegotiations emanated entirely from theCouncil, and' it was agreed to sell the pro-perty for £25,000 cash, subject to theCouncil deciding at last meeting to takea poll of the ratepayers at the earliest pos-sible date, the directors agreeing to waitfor two months before proceeding with thecontemplated alterations. The Council baddeliberately postponed consideration of thematter for six weeks, and it would thc-ntake another two months to carry out thelegal technicalities.
The Mayor, in reply, stated that no dis-courtesy was intended. In view of thefact that the Council's committee appointedto deal with the matter had not' reported tothe Council at last meeting, and the com-pany's offer in writing had not com? tohand, it was decided to defer the questionuntil next meeting of the Council, unlessin the meantime a special meeting be calledfor the purpose. The Mayor added that hepersonally was opposed to the purchase ofthe property b> the city.

CAMBRIDGE "RAGGING."
HOUSEHOLDERS ATTACKED ANDPOLICE ASSAULTED.
In spite of drastic measures taken by theUniversity and town authorities, the under-graduates at Cambridge, invigorated by theirperformance against the New Zealand foot-'bailers, celebrated the King's Birthdaywiththe most riotous "rag " ever known in thehistory of the town, causing even moredamage than on the occasion when LordKitchener was honoured by the Universityin 1898 (savs the Daily Mail, of November11).
Breaking down the Grant hoardings, theycarried tlileiix en bloc to Midsummer Com-mon, where a bonfire was soon stairted with,the broken wood. Window frames, gardenscats, doors, gates, kennels, cucumberframes, and over 200 yards of wooden pal-ing went to teed the flames. A large mill'was broken into and fuel stolen, whilebridges over marshy fenland in the vicinitywere also wrenched up and piled on to thefire.. -
Any policeman or proctor who appearedwas attacked, and two constables sustainedsevere scalp wounds. Many lights tookplace between the undergraduates andhouseholders. One family kept out themarauders with pokers and buckets of waiterfor some timfe, but were finally rushed andthe garden was stripped. 'Another house-holder used tar, which proved more effec-tive.
Towards eleven o'clock the police werereinforced, and shortly after midnight quietwas restored.
At the Police Court proceedings yester-day morning, M. J. Khan, of Clare College,war, fined. 40s for using obscene language,onid £5 for assaulting a constable. "Toe
; magistrates," said the "Mayor, "were deter-mined, to put. a stop to this sort of thingbv every means in their power." C. E.Martin, of Pembroke, was fined 40s for dis-charging fireworks on Market Hill. Thecase of assault against A. M. Greatbead, ofClare, wok adjourned. Mr. J. R. G.Stroud, a townsman, was charged with as-saulting a policeman, and strong evidencewas given on both sides. ' The chairman, infining the prisoner £, remarked that it, wasthe presence of respectable people that en-couraged this sort of thing, and Mr. Stroudmight consider himself lucky that thepunishment was not more severe. j

MOTOR CAR AND (TRAPMOTOR CAR AND tRAPCOLLISION.
V the hearing continued.;i The hearing of the action brought byr, Edgar John Mile* and his wife,. Catherinefe;Harriett Miles, against Ernest swell
Bennett, to recover £500 and £1500, dam-V ages alleged to have been sustained by
plaintiffs through defendant's motor car col-liding with their trap on. the AvondaleRoad, on March 11 last," was further con-
■/ tinued before His Honor Mr. Justice Ed-wards yesterday. : —
Mr. J. C. Martin appeared for the plain-w\'' tiffs, and Mr. Cotter, instructed by Mr.
Blair, for the defendant.John Proctor, a Grammar School student,ho witnessed the accident, gave evidence
corroborating the witnesses called by plain-tiffs on the previous day. Ho stated he
?*j" 'was certain that the horse in the trap didlis* not turn toward the motor car, but thatt{ '
the motor car turned towards the trap, andf'■ frightened the horse.
- Julius Porritt, a gardener, living on theMount Albert Road, Avondale, said heeaw the motor car and the trap goiug
IBS along the Avondale Road. When the motor'Vj-j-'.car came alongside the trap it swervedM, across the road, and crossed tne trap The
horse in the trap then took fright, threw up. its head, and swerved down the embank-
X'- ment, and out of his view. He went up to. ■'■■■- the'place where the trap had gone over thef" cmbanknv nt, and saw the trap lying broken
in the hdiow.William Nosbit, a painter, iiting at
' Mount Albert, gr.v© evidence of a simile?nature.
Constable i v 3rady, stationed at Avon-dale, said he heard of the accident, andexamined the read for the tracks of thevehicles in question. He saw where the
■' -■ track or the motor car zig-zagged up theroad and curved towards the tracks madeby the trap.
Dr. Porter gave evidence as to the in-,
•* juries sustained by the plaintiffs, and saidIf S' Mr. Miles' medical and surgical expenses
" up to the present, amounted to £126 10s 6d,T, audi Mrs. Miles' to somewhere between i
£70 and £80. !-.To Mr. Cotter: Ho was present when|
Mrs. Miles was medically examined by!f • Dr. Savage and Dr. Girdler. Dr. Lowe;r;.'' and another medical gentleman were also i
present. He considered that Dr. Savage,- in examining the female plaintiff, made a:
very rigorous examination.'• Mr. Cotter; Did you make any pro- j
1 test? i■i > ■ Dr. Porter: No; I irim£ed,to controlfkl; my feelings.? Did anyone else protest? TheyY~' ■ looked very uncomfortable. j
During the whole of the examination?.No; only during the examination by Dr. ]
-Savage.• Do you sad that the examination was
unnecessarily rigorous?— I don'tknow what may be necessary for Dr.
;. Savage. It was not an examination that Iwould submit any woman to, but I do notwish to criticise Dr. Savage.
But you used the term " rigorous." Was'/ I the examination conducted with vour
consent? was olily to Ixuve "been a sliglat.examination.
Asd jou say that, it was unnecessarily|severe?— my opinion it was.
115;: ; ' But who is the best judge—the one whois conducting the examination, or the one
v ;- who is looking on?—I do not lavish to'WM&criticise Dr. Savage. This has been forced j• V upon me. ,
His Honor said that he understood Dr.Porter to mean that the examination was
I ''}•• [•„ a rigorous one for a woman in the condition'*•>"" that "Mrs. Miles was.
Mr. • Cotter -My friend, Mr. Martin,his practically hinted that it was vowing
-.-jto wis examination the premature birthj - - occurred. (To Dr. Porter): Have you not
|'
_ wed t- much stronger word outside aboutrap^fi4liß' examination than "rigorous?"I | . His Honor said that they did not want
, to try a medical squabble here. What they, • were concerned in was whether this womans ' was injured by the defendant, and whether
.■/ »i* a result she was- subjected to great pain.f, £ -Mr. Cotter (to Dr. Porter) If you had
, 'jeep performing t?ae operation, doctor, an-y othe: niedical man might have considered1 'yi ur methods severe, while you considered
them essential. 7a that not so?Dr. Porter: Certainly.Dr. Tracey India said that he attended
J Mrs. Miles subsequent to the accident. She•f was suffering from a fractured pelvis and a&' I fractured collarbone. He also attended
v ■Mi-- Miles upon the night of the accident."This closed the case for the plaintiffs.
. THE: DEFENDANTS VERSION._ Mr. Cotter, after opening the case for
the defence, called the defendant.Ernest Hauswell Bennett, a merchant
and forwarding agent, residing in Auck->'> land, said that upon'the date in question
lie owned a motor car. The motor. caronly had seating accommodation for two,
i '; i' arid travelling up the grade where the acci-, - dent happened it could only go at about
' five miles an hour. He bad driven this\ particular car for about five weeks prior to• the accident, so that when the accident
happened the was thoroughly acquaintedI V," 1 with the vehicle. He bought the machine
from Mr. Meadoza, who accompanied him• upon the trip in question. Going alongthe Avondale Road towards Auckland theypassed the plaintiffs' trap. Mondoza was
- driving the car at the time. Further onthe car was stopped, and was passed by
■y the trap. Getting way on again, the cargained slowly upon the trap, which was
( travelling at the rate, of about four miles\an hour. The car, he thought, would then
fee going about five miles an hour. As the*.*,! trap started to mount the hill its off-wheel
~
, would be about the centre of the road."" » Witness' car, wlfich was about 20ft or
30ft behind, was a little further to the' ■ right. On getting abreast of the trap the
- horse made a jump forward, which, he' thought, was due to the noise the car was
making. As the horse jumped the driver,• Mr. Miles, gave the reins a jerk. He then
r • noticed Mrs. Miles make either a grab at- her husband or the reins. The horse
« turned at a slight angle towards the car,and, going on for a pace or two, struckthe car with its foreleg. The animal
1 A shied, proceeded up the hill for a whortilllg; distance, swerved round to the near side,
and came down the road again. He sawMiss Diuine spring out of the trap, andMr. and Mrs. Miles fall out. At Rose's
I'/- , gate the trap was overturned. Mr. Men-"
- doza got out of the car immediately after• the moment of the impact, and witness re-
j- '' trained where he was until the iior.se< turned. Witness then slewed his car round
to the near side of the road. Mr. Men-doza attended to those who _ had
_
been, thrown out of the trap, while witness
•t'j"' looked after the horse. Witness and Mr.| ■ Memloza. remained there until about eight
o'clock, or two hours after the time of tho;--v' accident. Next day witness went out to
see how the injured persons were gettingon, .and during a conversation with Mr.Miles ; the latter remarked that "accidents
; would happen." Witness said that hethought that ho (Mr. Miles) must havepulled the wrong rein. Mr. Miles, in
1" ' reply, said that he supposed he must have
ifiildone so, as he was very much mixed up.IMf ' Mr. Ootter: During that time did hey' make any accusation that you drove the
car into him?Sfpr' " Witness: No, he did not.0"' "To Mr. Martin: The car worked satis-
factorily that day. Tho account of the acci-
■ ' dent which he gave was true. _After further cross-examination by Mr.
Martin, and re-examination by Mr. 'Cotter;I Martin, and re-examination by Mr. Colter,the further hearing of the case was ad-
| anrned until this morning.'IfrlMS-/: ■■■■>■■ " ■ - ;

REMARKABLE TESTIMONY.
A NEWCASTLE LADY'S EXPERIENCE.TWICE GIVEN UP BY THE DOCTORS,
AND TWICE DR. MORSE'S' INDIANROOT PILLS PROVE SUCCESSFUL.
Mrs. Elizabeth Liohtfoot, of LambtonHeights, Newcastle, New South Wales, re-lates a story which is often told by women;of suffering for years from Habitual Consti-pation, dreadful headaches, general debility,and subsequently from a baa leg. How Dr.Morse's Indian Root Pills restored her tohealth, and healed the running sores whendoctors' efforts failed, is best told in herletter, which bears her signature", attested toby a justice of the peace. For over fouryears, she states, "I was in bad health andsuffered dreadfully from Constipation, Sever©Headaches, and General Debility. I tooflc allkinds of medicine, and my doctor prescribedfor many months. He could practically donothing "for me, and finally advised me totake an opening medicine regularly. I triedmany pills and remedies, but I failed to gainany benefit beyond the temporary movementof the bowels. The local storekeeper oneday advised mo to try Dr. Morse's IndianRoot Pills. I had no faith in pills, but- Itried them, and the first couple of dosesseemed to have a wonderful effect, I con-tinued with them, and I can truly say theygave me every encouragement. I soon re-gained my strength and activity, and wasfree from headaches and dizziness, and mysystem became regular in every way. Thisall happened about four years ago. Sometime since, having discontinued your Pillsaltogether, I had a breaking out on myleg, which extended from tho ankle to theknee. I used various ointments, but findingthey had no deterring effect I consulted thedoctors, who treated me for some months,but they failed to do me any good, and ad-vised me to lay up or go to the hospital fortreatment. It was only as a last resourcethat I thought of your Pills (having pre-viously been under the impression Pills woreonly purgatives). I commenced taking themregularly, and gradually my leg got better,and in a few months entirely healed. Thiswonderful cure entitles them to every creditfor their Blood Purifying and healing pro-perties. I have since used them regularlyonce or twice a week, and I have much plea-sure in recommending your Pills as a house-hold medicine for children and adults, andespecially for mothers under all conditions.I am giving this unsolicited testimonial as adebt of gratitude to you, and you may useit in any way von ' wish.Mrs. ElizabethLightfoot." Subscribed and declared at.Lambton, New South Wales, this third dayof .Tune, one thousand nine hundred andfive, before me, George E. Hardy, ,T.P.• Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills aro notsimply purgatives. They contain more im-portant properties!! which act directly on tlioLiver, Kidneys, and Blood; correcting, puri-fying. and restoring the whole system tohealth and strength. , The many wonderfulcures effected by these Pills have awakenedthe interest of all classos to ' ther curative,cleansing,' and healing properties,' and to-dayDr. Morse's Indian Root. Pills are the FamilyRemedy, not only of the miner and the arti-san, but of the more wealthy, professional,and independent section of the community.
