FAIR RENT.The Minister for Lands has a bill beforethe Honse which willno doubt give riseto much heated dissuasion. It is a bill toprovide moans for fixing a fair rent forland. Wo should have thought that tholandlord and tho prospective tenant worethe best judges of what might fairly becharged by way of rent for any piece ofproperty. A rent which would cripple onofarmer would bo easily mot by another.In the cultivation of the soil, as in everyother 'pursuit, everything depends onthe skill possessed by thoperson enteringupon it. How often have wo hoard ofblocks which have ruined settlor aftersettler, and which have ultimately provedpaying properties in tho hands of afarmer possessed of tho requisiteknowledge and perseverance. Butthe Government relying on tho principlewhich seems to be at the bottom of somuch of their political theory—the prin-ciple, namely, that tho freeholder is al-ways a thief—have decided that tho ordi-nary method of fixing rent is not fair,Thoy propose tosot up a Board to man-age tho matter for us, just as thoy haveapt up Boards to fix our wages, our hoursof work, our times of play, and so manyother matters of daily life. '1 he effect ofthis proposal will ba that any landlord orany tenant may at any timo after twoyears of the loaao have expired apply totho Board of the district in which hisholding is situated to vary thorent named in the lease by wayof increase or reduction as thocase may be. The Board are then tohear evidence and fix a fairrent, whichis defined as the rent which the tenantmay fairly bo expected to produce fromtho lend after allowing for thenecessary

cost of cultivation, interest oncapital andplant, and tho maintenance of himselfand family.

Now several observationssuggest them-selves at once on perusing this lomark-ablo definition. Suppose a landlord letsa farm to a bachelor at a certain rent,and the bachelor subsequently assigns toa man with ton children, is the landlordto submit to a reduction of rent inconse-quence of the larger expense of main-tenance necessary in the case of theassignee? Or is a married tenant en-titled to claim from his landlord a reduc-tion of his rent upon the birth of eachsucceeding child ? For it will bo re-marked that what Mr Duncan, orthe draughtsman of the bill, whoeverbe may be, calls a fair rent is what has '

hitherto been known to the law as n rackrent—it is a rent which makes the land-lord a present of every fraction of profitfrom the working of the land over andabove bare maintenance and interest oncapital. We do not think that there aremany leases of that kind in the colony.For the moat part the tenant knows hisbusiness well enough to fix a rentwhich leaves him a share of themargin of profit, and the landlordis willing to recognise the justiceof this principle. Another difficultywhich will face any such Hoard is thedifference in the standard of living. Whatone umn would luntider a fair maiutou-anco fur himself and family would strikeanother as little removed from penury.The present system allows each man tomake hjs own bargain, in view of his ownconception ofcomfort, but we can hardlyimagine how a Hoard could ayivc at aconclusion on such a matter.

The truth is the Act is absolutely un-necessary. Where tho population islargo, or where the area of land availablefor leasing is small, then no doubt land-lords may bo enabled to drive bardbargains with their tenants. That, forexample, may bo tho case in tho OldWorld, Rut surely it cannot ho con-tended that it obtains hero. If a tenantcannot agree upon a reasonable rentfora piece of land with its owner ho cango elsewhere. Uo has tho chance oftaking up Government land on tho easiestof terms, and if he ohoses to deal withprivate persons he has his own reasons fordoing so and should take his chances. Ifa man bays a suit of clothes at his tailor'sand finds that tho stuff does not last aslong as ho expectedhe does not claim arefund of its price. If ho buys shares ina gold mine and finds that calls are morenumerous than the dividends he does notexpect to be relieved from tho con-sequences of his miscalculation. Ho hasentered upon a speculation, and ho hasmade a mistake which he must put upwith. All business contains this elementof speculation, and in this respect afarmer is no different from a merchant ora manufacturer.

Wo suspect the real aim of the bill isto enable the Government to raise therent on tenants who hold under leases inperpetuity. We notice that CaptainBussell baa declared that this is n fraudon the tenants. We are not disposed togo so faras that. There is little differencebetween raising the rent of those leasesand raising, let us say, the graduatedlandtax. The tenants have, so far, enjoyedtheir lands ata fair rent, we may presume,and if the bill allows the Government toraise that rent in times of prosperityit also permits tho tenant to seek areduction in times of adversity. Hutthe remarkable feature of the pro-posal is its implied condemnation of thodistinguishing feature of Sir JohnM’Kenzie’s land policy. Tho lease inperpetuity was tho darling of his crea-tion. It is true that no ono else has overboon able to find out its merits. It hasall tho disadvantages of too freeholdwithout any of its advantages. It wasjust as much an alienation of State pro-perty as an out-and-out sale, whilo thotenant washampered with all sorts of un-necessary restrictions. But tho Govern-ment for many yours professed to regardit as something quite above criticism.What has induced them to alter theirminds wo cannot toll, hut tho clausewhich extends tho proposed bill to Crownlands practically abolishes tho leaseinperpetuity, and places it on tho samefooting as tho perpetual lease, which wasin existence long before Sir JohnM’Koimo was entrusted with tho admin-istration of the public estate.

Our Wellington special wired lastnight I—"Tho captain of tho barqueG, if.

Tho captain’s defence wasthat it was the cook who was thoaggressor, and that the cook had neglec-ted to come up to timo when tho dinnergoog sounded. Sixteen pounds and costswas tho award to tho plaintiff ofa sympa-thetic bench.

Poultry, pigeon, and dog breeders arereminded that entries for tho Hawke’sBay Kennel and Poultry Club’s annualshow close with the secretary at theMasonic Hotel, this evening. Alreadyentries are coming in froc-ly, and the showpremises to eclipse all that have piocudodit. 'Urn largo number of handsometrophies subscribed for by various donorsrender tho club's special prize list one ottho best in tho colony, and there is likelyto be some spirited competition for thotrophies which are now on view in MosersOterar and Sons window. Local ex-hibitors, however, have been so suooossful

when showing their birds elsewhere thatit may safely be predicted that it willtake something very good from outside inmoat of thevarieties to wrest the honorsfrom local fanciers.

St. Augustine’s schoolroomwas crowdedlast evening, when a most successful con-cert programme was presented to athoroughly appreciative audience. TheHov. C.L. Take presided, ’The platformwas very prettily decorated with pots of(lowers, and several flags adorned thewalls, T hat the programme was contri-buted almost wholly by ladies did net inany way detract from its excellence, forthe wholeof the vocal and instrumentalselections were uniformly good. Thevocalists, who willall be heard with muchpleasure again, wefe Misses Hunter, Mill,Macdonald, A. King, Maofarlane, and N,Williams, while some exceedingly enjoy-able instrumental selections were contri-buted by Mieses Goldsmith, Hotloy,Edwards (2), and Messrs llriasoo andDixon. The accompaniments worecapitally played by Misses Hunter,Edwards, Macdonald, Reynolds, M. Ken-nedy, and Cole, At the conclusion ahearty vote of thanks was accorded to theperformers for their excellent entertain-ment.

Tho Chinese question in all its varyingintricacies formed the subject ofa heateddebate at the Working Men’s Club lastnight. The tr. üblo arose over the elec-tion of a democratic gentleman from thoCelestial Empire us a member of tho in-stitution. A requisition, largely signed,called upon the committee to resign onaccount of their action, and there was acounter proposal, that while regrettingthat tho Chinaman should have beenelected, this was not sufficient reason toeject tho committee. Too discussionfurnished an excellent lesson of howkeenly the alien racial question has beenstudied in Napier. Should tho Chinamango, or should ho stay ? That was tho all-absorbing topic for close on two hours.Members adduced good reasons why theChinese should not be admitted to thesocial privileges of the average European,while glowing visions wore pictured oftho disastrous effect of such concessionsUltimately a divLiou waa called for, whenthe proposal not to throw out tho com-mittee was carried. Meantime thoChina-man has resigned his membership, andmatters no doubt will run smoothly as ofyoro.

If operatives would only guaranteeour firm a profit of halt that amount woshould bo only too glad to hand themover tho whole concern The effect oftho full claim of tho workers being con-ceded would ho to drive nearly all themanufacturers of ironware out of thocountry to Germany, America, or thoHomo country. That would not neces-sarily moan closing down entirely. Tholocal iron trade would then be reduced torepairing shops only, and only one-fifthof tho present operatives would bo em-ployed. The operatives retained in em-ployment in such a case would be thopick of tho men, a higher grade of me-chanics. I certainly think u victory inthe Arbilration Court for a union may inseme cases bo worse than a defeat..’

WIDTH OF STREETS.[by tklkcbai'h.]

Wellington, Friday.A deputation waited on tha Minister

for hands to-night, toprotest first, againsttho compulsory sotting back of land fron-tages to streets, under a chain wide, asfar ns 31) feet from thocentre of tho road;secondly, against tho provisions retjuifitly-that streets in suburbs should ho formedand metalled (ili foot wide j and thirdly,to point out that tho Municipal Corpora-tions Act allowed local authorities inboroughs to form streets less titana chainwide, whereas in suburban districts nosuch provision was allowed. It was ex-plained that tho objectionable clauseswere sections 20 and 21 of tho PublicWorks Act, and that the matter affectedthe whole colony. Tho members of thedeputatioil stated that tho effect had beento stop tho subdivision of land, and makesome properties unsaleable, while the cootof forming stive's a width of (!(i foolwould ho prohibitive; an It) fee', or 20formation would bo sufficient. TimMinisterpromised to make representationto ins colleagues on tho subject.

CONCILIATIONEXTRAORDINARY.

PUBLIC BODIES AND BISHOPSCITED.

[special to hawke’s hat hkkald.j

[ht tplfojuph ]

Wellington, Friday.Mr Smith, thochief clerk of the Wel-lington Education Hoard, is having acmefun with tho Conciliation Board. To-dayho asked to have the Harbor Board leftout of a painters' dispute. He said hewas willing, if all parties agreed, to de-tach tho Harbor Board to enter into anagreement that during the currency oftho award tho Board willnot employ anypainters outside its own casual employes.Tho Board, it seemed to him, wastho boulder in the middle of the highroad toconciliation. Various parties badfallen over it in turn,and the Board wasprepared to come to an amicable arrange-ment. On the other hand the HarborHoard had since 1880 stood on its ownbottom. It did not care a rap whether ornot the master painters and the Painters’Union came to an understanding, theHoard would tight its own case in its ownway. Tho chairman said be did notthink MrSmith would obstruct the Boardin any way. Ha farther said that theprinciple of tho Conciliation Board waa tonarrow disputes, not to widen them, butif it was shown to be necessary thatfurther attachments be made the Boardwould make them. It the Wanganui andNapier Harbor Boards were summonedand could not showcause to thethey would be attached, Mr Smith thensaid ho would make application to haveattached those public bodies carrying onstatutory duties not engaged in trade orconnected with any industry. They wenon all fours with theHarborBoard inrela-tion to the employingofpainters. He reada list of some 91 public bodies within theWellington industrial district, includingCounty and Borough Councils and TownBoards, which he wished attached. Then,said Mr Smith, it bad been decided toattach the Union Steam Ship Companyto the dispute, and as a natural conse-quence he considered that other shipping:companies should also be attached! Hehad himself been at sea for some 13years, and knew that painting on ship*was almost continuous bore. He read alist of shipping companies which ownedvessels trading toWellington. MrSmithfurther asked that the Wellington,Wanganui, and Hawke's Bay EducationBoards be attached. The amount of theHarbor Hoard’s painting, he ventured tosay, would not, if multiplied by 100,ap-proach that doneby tho EducationBoard.Hu might bo asked why he had notapplied to attach tho churches and Sun-day-schools, and ho would say that he hodhad tho names of tho Bishops of Welling-ton and Waiapu on his fist, but os itwould be difficult to find out whether ornot tbeso religious bodies employed theirown men to do painting work he hodstruck them off. He would, however, bepleased to see them attached if It couldbe shown that they wore on all fourswiththe other bodies attached. (Laughter.)110 also mentioned a number of foundries

which ho considered should be attached,Mr Smith went on to say that a largeprinciple was involved in this dispute,viz., tlio principle of attaching a publicbody as party to a trade dispute. Itwould also servo to illustrate the incon-venience caused by one union endeavor-ing to havo all kindred bodies within oqindustrial district attached to a dispute.

FARMERS’ UNION.LEGISLATION DISCUSSED.

[ur TELEGRAPH.JPalmerston North,Friday.

At the New Zealand Farmers’. UnionConference to-day aresolution woe carriedthat party politics be not recognised bytho Union. The secretary reported thatthe membership in tho Wellington pro-vince totalled 1750.

Mr J. H. Wilson (llangilikei) wotelected president and Mr V. C. Hansom(Kangotea) vice-president. An executivecommittee wasappointedcomprising dele-gatee from Marton, Waitarapa, Hero-whenua, Huntervillo, Hawke’s Bay,Wanganui,and Waverley, The presidentwas appointed representativeat theNorthIsland conference.

Latxb.>

At the conference of the New ZealandFarmers’ Union this afternoon a discus-sion took place on the platform o( theUnion, with the following result*: —Thatthe forfeiture of grants for roads for non-expenditure before the appearanceof theFinancial ttatumunt be abolished) thatthe Government bo requested to giveauthority that grants for roads, bridgesAc,bo expended as soon as the Estimatesare passed in tbe House; that after thepayment of tho first deposit, settlers onCrown lands in the back country, whereroads are unfoimed, be allowed threeyears’ occupation free, settlers with theright of purchase to pay tbe same rent asfor lease in perpetuity j all Crown landleaseholders except those under the Landfettlemont Act to have tbe right< f purchase of the freehold atany time after tbe expiry of tenyears from the date of the lease, (he rightto ho retrospective, provided that thearea bo hold by one person, who shallcomply with tho provisions of the Land<’ ct; tho compulsory clause of tho Landfor Settlement Act to apply to native aawell aa private lands, and all Crown andnative lands be brought under theNoxious Weed and Babbit Acts. TheConference strongly opposed the EightHours Kill so far as it related to thefarming industry, and a resolution wascarried to thatpffeot. The Workers Com-pensation Act was protested against, andthe executive recommended to have thesame amended if possible. The acquisi-tion of the Wellington-Manawaturailwayby tbo Government was urged, A sug-gestion that the Government be asked toestablish cold storage in London andother largo centres, and endeavor to im-prove the price of frozen meat, was leftto tho executive to deal with.

LABOR QUESTION.[nr TELEUSUI-ll,]

Auckland, Friday.At a meeting of the Auckland Provin-

cial Agricultural Association to-day, thasecretary read a copy of tfae Eight Hour*’Hill now under consideration, and dealt atlength with clause 4, which affected farmlaborers. A considerable discussion tookplace on this clause. It was moved,“That the Association do not supportthis bill, as it is unworkable.” Themotion was carried almost unanimously.MrRutherford wasappointed to draw upa protest on b half of the Associationagainst the introduction of the bill, andforward it to the district members ofAuckland.

The cabmen have registered theirunion, and will have a meeting with theiremployers. They desire reduced hours.A gentleman has offered to fit up a roomfor the men.

Dunedin, Friday.Ata meeting of employ-da in the local

hanks the Shops aud Offices Hill was dis-cussed, and eventually a petition, some-what on the lines of the Wellington peti-tion. was adopted Tho provision withregard to tho payment of overtime isdescribed as unworkable and inimical totho interests of tho persons it is intendedto pro'eot, as the relations of the .bankawith the officials aro not those of daylabor.

Wellington, Friday.A deputation of cbomists’ assistants

waited on tho Central PharmaceuticalAssociation to-nigbt, aud stated that theydid uot wish to take advantage of theShops and C fficos Hill, but would be satis-fied to work hi hours por week.' TheAssociationresolved toapproveof 64 hoursper week and to recommend the Govern-ment to make a statutory holiday com-pulsory on chemists, who should close atH o'clock on four nights por week.

GREAT BATTLE FOUGHT.FRENCH VICTORIOUS.

Received July 27, 12.14 a.n:.London, July 20

The Daily Mail’s Cadiz correspondentstates that a great battle was fought be-tween the French and the Moors nearFigig, in theMorocco hinterland.

Both sides suffered heavy lostea.Tlio French proved victorious.

Trouble between Franco and Moroccohag been brewing for some time. Thetultan of Morocco has been obstinate ingiving Franco reparation for the murderof il. Pouzet. Of lato France has beontaking great military precautions allalong the Morocco frontier, ostensibly toprevent incursions rf the tribes notobedient to the Sultan and to securerespect for their territory, which envelopstheEmpire. It was recently stated thatthe Kaid of Abcana was in fetters at: augier, and was to bo imprisonedfor life for complicity in themurder of M. Pouzet, and that themurderers had been handed over to theFrench Legation. The Moorish Ministerfor Foreign Affairs visited France lastmonth in connection with the affair. TheTemps recently wrote:—"Our demandsfor reparation for the murder of M.Pouzet were supported by an energeticdemonstration, two ironclads being des-patched to Moorish waters. This policyseems tous in conformity with the realinterests of our country. Some Frenchnewspapers suppose that, with theMachiavellian design of occupying ujoutside Europe, some of theGreat Powersmean to leave the empire to us, andthose papers am ridiculous enough torefuse energetically what no one thinksof giving us. The Sultan, alarmed eitherby these rumors or by other causes, sendstwo missions to visit England, France,Germany, and Russia. Cce need not boin the secret of tho Chanceries to be cer-tain that if the mission which visitsLondon and Berlin receives exhortationsit willnot bo in favor of tho developmentof French influence. On tho other hand,it would at least be desirable that thomission which M. Riivoil is conduct-ing to Paris should not find opinionsdivided here on a matter ofthis importance. It may be saidthat our privileged situation in Mor-occo is founded both on geography andhistory, since our possessions now com-pletely surround that country. Thereare, besides, tho immense sacrifices whichwehave made in North Africa daring thelast TO years. A portion of the nationalpatrimony now exists there. No party inpower could neglect it. Should not thisbo a reason for wresting the defence of itfrom our miserable internal quarrels f”

THE LIZZIE BELL.

CAjBXiEURAMS.[PER PRESS ASSOCIATION."COPYBIGHT.

DETAILS OP THE WRECK.A FEARFUL NIGHT.

Sydney, Friday.Messrs J,and A. Brown, of Newcastle,

representatives of the owners of theLizzie 8011, wrecked off Taranaki, under-stood (hat Uio vessel was proceeding toTimm it bo load grain, and hud nut been

advised of her coming to Newcastle. Thufirst intimation that theship wag in Aus-tralian waters was when Captain Reescabled for funds on behalf of theowners.

[nr TELEGRAPH.]Man.ua, Friday.

The ill-fated Lizzie Bell is going topieces very quickly. Tho beach is atrownwith wreckage. Thebarque loftWelling-ton nt II am, on Wednesday, and motwith a favorable wind. About II p in.it was tho second officer's watch,Captain Roes being also on deck. MateBarrow turned in, and the vessel hadall sail sot, and was travelling atthe rate of twelve knots. The weatherwas fine, but cold, and there wasa slight haze. Suddenly, with littlewarning, the barque struck a rook on theWhamata reef, about a mile or so fromtho mouth of the Oeo stream. The mate,with only a singlet on, and the sleepingcrew, who had been awakened, rushed upfrom their berths, and the life-boats were»t once got out. The crow, consisting of18, immediately left the vessel, but theboat hung by a rope from tho mizzenmast for an hoar. The line was then castadrift, and the shipwrecked men took totho cars. Some say they palled out tosea,but it is difficult to arrive at a clearconclusion on that head, as the men arevery confused, and hardly seem toknowwhat actually didoccur. However, thismuch is certain—the boat capsized, andone man was drowned before it wasrighted. Half starved with cold, thepoor fellows who wore left, again'got intotho boat and drifted wherever the windor current dictated. Later the boat againoverturned, and this time, when she wasrighted, several had disappeared for good.The survivors, famished with cold, lost allcount of time or position, and at seveno'clock in tho morning those of the morevigorous (they were few) found them-selves on the rooks below Captain Good'sproperty. As soon as the strongest wereable to walk they made their way to thecaptain’s house, and sought help.

Dating the fearful night two men diedin the boat, and two who had reachedshore safely andhad strength remainingto get out of the boat were dead whenthe rescuers arrived. They wßre lyingwith their heads among the rocks. Oneof tho apprentices had a vary close call,but after restoratives had bean applied hawas brought back to life, although he isstill very weak. Captain Rees and thomate (especially tho former) are both ina weak state. Neithercan account for theoosition of tho vessel, and so far littlecanio gleaned from them. In adddion to thefour bodies near the boat another cameashore later. This is supposed to belongto one of the saamon, who, after thesecond capsize of tho boat, hung on aslong as possible, and thon went to awatery grave. On tho occasion mentionedone of the men, who was wearing a life-belt, had to divest himself of it, inorder to sink to get clear of the boat.The bodies recovered are awaiting aninquest, and the police and settlers aresearching for the other unfortunates.

The Lizzie Hell was built in 1877, andbelonged to Messrs Peter Irodalo andPorter, of Liverpool. She was a finevessel of 1035 tons, and had come fromGlasgow to Dunedin and Wellington, andwas proceeding in ballast from the latterport to Newcastle. It is understood thatall tho crow but the cook are single men.

It is rumored that tho compass was un-reliable, shifting as ranch te from threeto four points on cither side. However,

as stated before, nothing clear is obtain-able as to tho cause of the disaster, thosecond officer, whose watch it was at thetime, being drowned, and the captain andmate being unlit for a lengthy interview.This is the fourth vessel wrecked in thevicinity, the other three being the AnnieWilson, Mnnaia, and Alaramara. Only asmall portion of tho hull of the vessel canbe seen.

WELLINGTON GOSSIP[special to hawke's bat herald.]

[by telegraph,]Wellington, Friday.

INTERCEPTING “SUPPLY.”A surprise was sprung on the Houseto-day by Mr George Fisher, who inter-

cepted an ordinary Imprest Supply Billby moving fora select committee to in-quire into tho administration of thePoliceCepartmont by Commissioner Tunbridge.If an amendment of this kind had beenmoved by an Opposition member it would,of course, have been regarded m one ofno confidence in Ministers, but os MrFisher is one of tho most ardent sup-porters of tho Government, the Premierallowedthe debate toproceed in the ordin-ary way. The wholeof Mr Fisher’s remarkswore directed against Commissioner Tuu-bridga’s administration, but it was evi-dent from tho way the House receivedthestrictures he indulged in, that mem-bers generally did not agree with him, asCommissioner Tunbridge’s appointmentis regarded as one of tho best made bvtheSeddon Ministry. Tho Minister torJustice (Mr M’Gowan), although takouby surprise, made one of tho best speechesho has over delivered in tho House indefence of Commissioner Tunbridge, andwarmly declared that ho had alwaysfound Mr Tunbridge most anxious todo his duty in tho best interestsof the colony, (" Hear, hear,”) MrJ. A. Miller, a strong Governmentsupporter, expressed the opinion thatCommissioner Tunbridge was respected,not only in the colony, but outside of it.The debate continued till after the dinneradjournment, when Mr Fisher’s amend-ment was lost withouta single voicebeingr used in its favor, and the Imprest SupplyBillpassed in duecourse.

MB MILLAR’S JOKE.A hearty laugh was caused this after-

noon at the expense of the senior memberfor Dunedin (Mr Millar). Ho was re-ferring to a certain disappointed memberof the jolico force in Wellington,who, ho declared, was the real causeof the attack made by M r Fisher on Com-missioner Tunbridge. In doing so, MrMillar referred to Mr Fisher as the mem-ber for Wellington, (" Which of them ?”

asked Mr Atkinson.) "Oh, the honorablegentleman hero,” pointing to Mr Fisher,“and I am sorry to say he is still here,”ho added, amidst a shout a laughter fromthe Opposition benches. Mr Millar waitedtill tho merriment subsided, and then hohastened to explain that he was not thenreferring to Mr Fisher, but to a memberof the force in question.

A CURIOUS PETITION.Mr Collins (Christchurch) presented

to-day a petition from William Mertendo Weston, of Christchurch. The peti-tioner states that he was sentenced inJune, 1891, to three months’ imprison-ment for criminal libel on DotectivoO’Connor. Petitioner submits that thisimprisonment was illegal, as there is nosuch thing as criminal libel in New Zea-land. He further points out that hishealth was seriously injured by the saidimprisonment, and he suffered seriousfinancial loss, as it told against hischaracter in various ways, to his greatloss and detriment. He asks tho Housefor such consideration and redress as itmay deem fit.

OUR MASTERFUL PREMIER.iV little incident which occurred to-

night still further illustrated how com-pletely thePremier dominates Parliament.Mr Roderick M’Konxie had moved thesecond reading of the Minors’Eights FeeReduction Hill, and it was carried with-out difficulty. Mr Allen (Bruce) movedthat the bill be referred to the GoldfieldsCommittee, to which the Premier re-torted, “I object." Mr Allen quietlyasked, “ Are you in charge of the bill ?

”

and ho reminded the Premier that, ac-cording to the standing orders all billsrelating to goldfields mu t be referred tothe Goldfields Committee. Mr R. M'Kon--210 said ho had no objection to the billgoing to the Goldfields Committee, butMr Seddon still objected, and said thebill would loso its chance if itwont to thocommittee. The result was that thoPremier again got his own way, and thebill was not referred to tne committee,but was set down for committal in theusual way.

RAILWAY ENGINE FIRES.Mr Lang (Waikato) presented a peti-

tion to-day from Messrs W. H. and J.Dean, ofPokeno, asking for damages forloss caused by fire through sparks from arailway engine on the 27th December,1899. The petitioners point out thatsince they bought the land thisis tho third time their Hex was burnt,all from the same cause, and althoughon previous occasions they had notifiedthe railway officials, yet nothing had beendone in tho way of prevention. The fireabove referred to tookplace whan tho flaxwas in groat demand, and high priceswere paid for it, and not only wore thoflax, time, and money Ipst, but thoy worewholly dependenton the flax which wasburnt. One of tho petitioners, throughnot being able to obtain flax within theneighborhood, had to remove his mill 10miles distant, which was a severe loss tohim. They, therefore, beseech tho Houseto make some compensation for the loss oftheir flax.

TOTALISATOR ABOLITION,Tho member for Napier, in opposing

the Totalisator Abolition Bill to-night,said it was an undoubted factthat racing clubs were well conductedwhich used tho totalisator. It wasabsurd, said Mr Fraser) for Air Ellto think of putting a stop togambling, which was inherent ineverybody, and Mr Eil must rememberhis schoolboy days, when he gambledwith marbles, Ac. Besides, the totalisi-tor was a cash transaction, and peoplewere not kept out of their moneyfor months as was the case inother dealings. Mr Hetties followedMr Fraser, and said he shouldlike to hear thoviews of the Governmenton the loss which would ensue to thetreasury if this bill were carried. (SirJoseph Ward; "I should have thoughtyou did not care to hear the viewof tho ‘ Government on anything.")Mr Herries said be always watchedMinisters very carefully, and would cer-tainly like to hear what they had to sayabout this bill, but the Colonial Secretarywas not to be drawn,

JOTTINGS.Hr Lawry, speaking to-night against

the Totalisator Abolition Hill, instancedthe Hon. J. D. Ormond and Captain Rus-sell as supporters of the totalisator, andsaid no one all over the colony could saya single word against the racing transac-tions of either of those gentlemen.(Hear, hoar.”j

Mr Laurenson (Lyttelton) declared to-night that he came from a part of thecolony where thero was more horse-racingthan inany other part of New Zealand.The members: (" No, Auckland,")

HOUSE OF BEPEESENTATIVE3.Fbidat, July 26.

LAND FOB SETTLEMENT.After the telegraph office closed the de-

bate on the third reading was continuedby Messrs Massey, O’Meara, Meredith,Sfld G. W.Russell.

Mr Seddon rose to reply at 2 15. Hesaid that Captain Russell’s attempt to in-terfere withthe land for settlement system■honed that he wasstill leader of the Op-position party in theHouse. With regardto whathad been said about the settle-ment ol land in the back blocks he con-tended that no time had been lost in oc-cupying theee lands, but the settlers musthave roads and communication. It wasthe cursed system of giving the freeholdcf land for cash and of allotting laudbefore it was properly opened up that hadkept things back in the past. .Since thetax had been placed on the land therehad been an increase of two ownerswho held estates worth over XIOO.OOOand the time was not tar dis-tant when Parliament would haveto increase the graduated land taxin order to stop the abuses that weregoing on in the colony. He condemnedCaptain Russell’s amendment, and saidthat in its application to partnershipestatesit was nothing less than a diaboli-cal and deliberate attempt to providethat there should not be any land at allunder the Land for Settlement Act. Ithad been suggested that Crown tenantswho held land on leasehold were dis-satisfied with the conditions of tenure,and would vote against the Government.To say this was to say there was nogratitudein man, and he did not believe it.He defended the Government valuersfrom the charge that had been madeagainst them and replied to the attacksthat had been levelled at the native landpolicy of the Government. He declaredthat this bill was urgently required toassist the land for settlement policy.

The third reading was carried by 32 to6, and thebill passed its final stages.

At 3.25 the House adjourned till 2 30.

AFTERNOON SITTING.The House metat 2.30.

surpi.v.

An Imprest Supply Bill was broughtdown by Governor’smessage.

On themotion to go into CommitteeofSupply for its consideration, Mr Fishermoved an amendment that a select com-mittee be appointed to inquire into thoconduct of the Police Department, asadministered by Commissioner TunbridgeHe eaid be wasprompted tobring forwardthis motion because of widespread com-plaints throughout tbe colony at theadministration of the police force byCommissioner Tunbridge. Ue wished tomake it clear that tire motion in no wayapplied to the rank and file of the force.Its soope was limited to CommissionerTunbridge and the higher officers whowere directly under bis control. He pro-ceeded to make a series of charges againstCommissionerTunbridge) going very fullyinto details.

Mr M’Gowan defended CommissionerTunbridge from the a-tacks that hadbeen levelled against him, and said hohad always found him most anxious to dothe service of the colony in the be=tmanner possible, and to do fairly by allcases that came before him. If it wereotherwise he (Mr M’Gowan) would haveBo hesitation in saying so. Mr Fisher hadnot quoted one strong instance againsttheCommissioner. If it could be shownthat he had done anything against any ofhis officer*, he (Mr M’Gowan) would beonly too willing to facilitate an inquiryinto the matter, but nothing had comeunder his notice which would warrantsuch action.

Hr Miliar said Commissioner Tun-bridge was highly respected throughoutthecolony, both inside and outside of theservice, and the whole trouble was thathe was too clever for the schemers in thepolice force.

Mr Wilford contended that mattersware not satisfactory in the police forcein Wellington, There were two factions,and so long as that continued, the resultwould not be satisfactory.

Hr Napier said that in so faras Auck-land was concerned, matters were mostsatisfactory.

Mr Seddon said they should keep thismatter out of politics. Political inter-ference in the past had been detrimentalto the police force. He highly compli-mented the Commissioner. He bad beentold before appointing him that he wasone of the ablest men in the service atHome, and tinea hia arrival here he haddone first-class work. 'The Governmentdesired to have the police force kept asperfect and independent as possible, anddidnot want to have the forcedraggedinto our political life. It would not pro-mote harmony in the forceor farther theends of justice to have these chargesbandied about the floor of the House, andbe hoped the member for Wellingtonwould withdraw his amendment, and letthe House get on with the Bill.

A large number of other members alsospoke, the tone of the discussion beingstrongly in defence of CommissionerTonbridge’s administration.

The debate was interrupted by the 5.30adjournment.

EVENING SITTING.The House resumed at 7.30.

EUI-PLT.Mr Fisher’s amendment was negatived

on the voices, and the House went intoCommittee of Supply for the purp se ofpatting an Imprest Supply Bill for£470,000 through its initial stages.In committee on the bill CaptainBussell pointed out that there was anincrease of £190,000 in imprest to date, ascompared with the corresponding periodof last year. He would like some explan-ation for so vast an increase.

Mr Seddon said the increase in theEstimates were very large, in addition towhich there were very large orders fromthe Agent-General. The additional im-prest was dne to the increased generalexpenditure, both in the public worksfund and the consolidated fund.Captain Bussell contended that theEstimates had nothing to do with thematter, as they were not before theHouse yet. The Premier should give theHouse some idea of the nature of the in-creased expenditure,

Mr Seddon replied that if the publicworks expenditure was increased the im-prest must also be increased.

Mr Massey asked that sumo of the itemsbe given.

Mr Seddoa retorted that the moneyhad been expended in accordance withthedirections of Parliament.Captain Ku.-rell desired to know whenthe financial Statement and Estimates

would be brought down, 'three monthsof the financial year had gone, and theHouse knew nothing of the public ex-penditure. 'the House bad a right totn w the details at t rar.i.ft i omer.tTh- sum of J69t >.WI hat already Ivoted f-.r imprest this year, and membershad no idea how the money had beenspent.

MrSeddon said that he hopsd to bringdown the Statement the week after next.There were good reasons for bringingthe 'tat ment down eariy this year. Itwas noce sary at the present rate of ex-penditure to go into the finances care-fully, and the riovernmenl were desirousof obtaining the assistance of members asBoon as po-sible

The bill passed through committeewithout amendment.

On the motion for the third reading,Mr Massey enquired why a return show-jog the travelling expends of Ministershad not jet been laid on the table. Inthis respect Ministers were simply treat*ing the House with contempt. The Pre-mier would find bis Estimates would gothrough quicker and easier if this returnwere forthcoming.

Mr Seddon said the return referred tohad been overlooked through stress ofother business, but it would bo availablein a day or two. There was no necessityto keep the return bad, and there was riowarrant for attempting t ■ oial.e capitalout ul the matter. The inr.tossed impu-twas du3 to the last that the e-spclidituiewas go ng up, and -as already in ex.eesof last year. Certain redaction* it’.

taxation had been premised. Ha referredparticularly to the mortgage tax, but hewas afraid these remiss! ns could not begranted unless an increase was made inanother direction, viz, in the graduatedland tax

The bill then passed its final stages.MINERS’ BIGHTS.

Mr B. M’Kenzie moved the secondreading of the Miners’ Rights Feo Reduc-tion Bill, to reduce the fete payable inrespect of minus’ rights in certain esses.He said the time had come to reduce thefee for miners’ rights as low as possible.The mining sec- ion was the heaviesttaxed in the community, and had neverbeen leniently treated by Parliament.

Mr M'Gowan said tho minor’sright wasno longer, as in old days, an element oftitle. It was an infliction rather than aright, and should bo reduced as low aspossible. He supported the bill.

The second reading was agreed to onthe voices.

SHOP ASSISTANTS.Mr Barclay moved the second reading

of the Shops and Shop Assistants’ ActAmendment Bill, which he said was oneof the slaughtered innocents of a previoussession. It provided for a weekly half-holiday for chemists, and also for domesticservants. For the latter, a day could befixed between a servant and mistress. Heconsidered that if the conditions andsocial position of servants were bettered,there would be no lack of suitable girlsfor housework. The second reading vasagreed to m the voices.

TOTALIS AT OR ABOLITION.MrHI moved tho second reading of tho

Futali-ator Abolition Bill, to abolish theuse of the totalisstior. It was tho opinion,he said, of one of our Judges that thelargo per ceatage of crime by young NowZealanders in a calendar lately beforehim, arose mainly from gambling. TheState prevented other forms of gambling,

: and branded bookmakers as blacklegs,and to be consistent should abolish thetotalisator.

Mr Lawry maintained that the increasein gambling was due, not to the use, butto the repression of the totalisator, suchrepression as was given effect to iu ihebill introduced in 1891 by Sir Robertotout, limiting the number of totalisatorpermits. If the hon. gentleman wishedto become a reformer, let him bring in .abill to devote all totalisator moneys tocharitable purposes.

Mr Carncross believed that the aboli-tion of tbe totalisator would nomore suppress gambling than prohibi-tion would prohibit the alcoholic trade,the totalisator had been a great factor inthe decrease in the number of race meet-ings throughout the colony owing to tholimit of permits.

Mr Laurenson strongly supported thebill, holding that tho real question waswhether tho State should legalise gamb-ling in any form.

Mr A. L. D. Fiaser, in opposing thebill, contended that the totalisatorbrought about an improved breed ofhorse, and encouraged the importation ofthe best blood from Home. Anothergreat recommendation in favor of themachine was that it was conducted on acash basis.

Mr Merries thought the House shouldhave an expression of opinion on tho billfrom the Government benches. He de-fended the totalisator as being the beetform of betting on horses, but if tho billpassed its second reading ho hoped thehon. member in charge would insert aclause in committee to meet tho case ofracing dubs which had made programmeengagements some time ahead.

Mr Meredith supported the bill. Helooked upon the totalisator ns a verygreat evil, and what was morally wrongcould not bo legally right.

Mr Willis said the State was incon-sistent in allowing the totalisator toexist. If sweeps were illegal tho totalis-ator should also be illegal.

MrCarroll said he had always been op-posed to the abolition of the totalisator,and he had seen no reason to change hieviews. Gambling would exist in oneform or another. If they abolished oneform it would break out in another.Things connected with -port had been ina very had way some years ago, gamblingbeing rampant in all shapes and forms,hut the atmosphere had since beencleared, and tho totalisator now served tominimise the great amount of racing iathe colony. Tears ago there had boon noproper supervision or regulation of thesport, bnt all that bad now beenchanged, and the racing conferencewhich met annually was composed ofmen whose only desire was to upraisethe spurt of racing. If the totabsat rwere abolished an undesirable class wouldcurie to tho front, who were now kept iacheck. If he thought tho gambling spiritccuid be eliminated from human nature,he would support the h- a. gentleman,but he felt -ure he would be disappointedwith the effect that would bo produced itthe t •talisstor was swept nway.

Mr Hennett opposed the bill.MrGilfedder had just risen to speak,

when the debate was interrupted by tho10 30 adjournment, and the House rose.

WAIPAWA.[from oub own correspondent.]

July 26, 1901.In the absence of legitimate news thefollowing figures showing the present (in-creased) valuations of the several ridingsin Waipawa County will ho interesting tomay per-onsWaipawa riding £223,321,Waipukurau riding£23l,3s3, Kuataniwhariding £375,257, Wocdtillo riding£263,551, Danevirke riding £353,01)7,Norsewood riding £91,315, Ormondvilleriding £65,157. Total for the county£1,611,117, being an increase on lastvaluation of £166,031.

1 mentioned yesterday that the Hatumasettlers felt aggrieved on being servedwith a demand for rates. A friendsuggests as a remedy thst Ilia settlersshould take steps to form a Road Beardof their own, and tbua ensure the spend-ing of tbsir own money on thiir ownroads. This is worth thinking about.

Some changes and rumored changes inWaipawa may be placed on record. MrHolder has erected a new shop in themain street, and it is stated that MessrsMiller and Sl&tfotd are removing fromWaipukurau and are to locate in MrHolder’s lata promises. Mr W. Wisemanhas also built a commodious shop in themain street, and his late premises havebeen taken by Air Cosgrove. Mr hwainis removing to Messrs Biddle and Stevens’shop, and his place will be taken by MrA. Bn-uer. Mr Bibby is converting thepremises vacated by Air Cosgrove into awarehouse, Mr 31. Fit/.gera'J has dis-posed of hie business at Patangata, andis relurnii g to Waipawa. Besides theabove i know of another person who isseeking for a shop hero, and jet thereare people who deny there arc no changesin Waipawa.

The secretary of the Public Librarydesires me to mention that ho has to-dayreceived from the Misses NTash and E.Mogndge on behalf of the Troopers’Social committee ihe handsome donationof £3 towards the Library funds, withmany thanks.

H.B. FKIJITGKU VV& U3 1ASSOCIATION".

LOCAL EXHIBITS AT DUNEDIN’.

[HASTINGS CORRESPONDENT.")A meeting of the above society was

held iu the Hastings Borough CouncilChambers yesterday afternoon for thopurpose of receiving the delegates’ reportupon the Dunedin conference. There wasa good attendance of members present,and in the absence of the president (MrE. H. Williams) Mr Baxter was voted totho chair.

REPORT.At the beginning of the report Mr

Cook quoted a few figures and remarksfrom the president’s opening speech, viz.—That the imports to the colony of pre-served, dried, and fresh fruits during theyear 1895 amounted to £93,407, and by1900 had increased to ,£226,125, showingan increase in five years of £132.708. Theexports from New Zealand weie—lK9s£1198,1896 £1355,1897 £1855,159S £2576,1890 £1361, 1900 £1416, and 1901 £4OO,a total amount of £10,160 for practic-»llyseven years’exports, which would go alongway to prove what the fruit industry wascapable of attaining. The imports shouldbe extinguished and the exports en-couraged. These figures showed thatour own wants were not nearly supplied

1 cally, and that the demand for fruitwas practically unlimited, i his was notat all s itisfactory from a grower’s pointcf view*, seeing that the country was notable to supply itself with its own require-ments. Tasmania last season exportedabout 300,000 bushel cases of apples toEngland, and has now begun ex-porting to Germany, which wouldshow the enormous capabilities of Ibiscountry in the direction of fru.t-growing,especially apples for export. In view cfthese facts, Mr Cook expressed theopinion that the society should foster byevery m -ans in their power this most im-portant industry, especially in this dis-trict, which he considered superior iunearly every respect to the rest of NowZealand. Wo had the test soil, climate,and facilities of marker, being situatepractically in the centre of the country,within easy access to either Auckland,Wellington, or Dunedin,

With regard to the show and the ex-hibits, which were shown in tho name ofthe society, they had been awarded thes.cond gold medal and diploma. Withthis remark in the judges’report, “thoHawke’s Hay exhibit is of fine uniformquality and correctly named, but a con-siderably smaller collection, still wellworthy of a gold medal.” And followingon this award MrKirk (Government chiefexpert) asked permission to select aspecimen appio from four varieties formodelling. Those selected were con-sidered perfect specimens of theirvarieties in shape and color. Twenty-sixvarieties from the whole show, represent-ing 100 or more districts, were selected,out of which four were from our owndistrict, which again proved tho capa-bilities of the district for apple growing.H« (Mr Cook) had also been awardedsecond prize (silver modal) for fruitwine. An exhibit of dried fruit fromthe Frimley orchaid was awarded adiploma for excellence of quality, the goldmedal being withheld, as it could not boclassed as a “ collection.”

The Conference lasted three days, inaddition to committee work. The dis-cussion on pests and pruning showed avast difference of opinion, and what evi-dently suited one district did not suitanother, for it appears that down Souththey were not much troubled with thecodlin moth pest, and in Southland it isnot known, Mr Parr, of Waikouaitv,stated that ho had kept on spraying withvery little benefit, but when he stoppedand did nothing, it was not nearly so bad,whicli ho explained by stating that theeggs were parasitised and empty, theparasite being a minute fly, and whimsprayed this fly was destroyed. MrHanlon, the 'Whangarei delegate, advo-cated a spray consisting of 11b whitearsenic and 21b soda to TOO gallons ofwater, which was similar to that used inthe United States and California. MrPalmer, Government pomologist, statedthat hot water was a cure for all insectpests, and which would not injure thefoliage, provided it was not actually boil-ing when applied. This lie especiallyn-commonded for silver blight.

With regard to pruning, the majorityseemed in favor of hard pruning for thoapple, pear, and plum, lowing nothinghut tho short spurs. For tho poach, tocut back severely the middle shoot, thinout laterals, and cut back to treble bud,and to keep tho centre clear and open,which would induce fruiting on tho lowershoots. Asa result of Mr Grape’s paperon fruitpests and protection to the fruit-grower, it was resolved that a committeebe appointed to draw up a bill to be pre-sented next session to Parliament forlegislative action in the matter. Thopresent Orchard and Garden Pests Billwas discussed clause by clause, with theresult that clause 3 was amended to rea l," The second schedule hereto shall haveoperation and effect only within thelimits of all counties in which thatschedule has been adopted, except thosewho shall petition for the suspension ofthat EOhedule." Clause 9 (which pro-hibits a grower from removing any plantor fruit from his premises when it wasfound the orchard was infected withdisease or moth) was struck out. Other-wise the bill was passed as read.

Tbo small bird nuisance also evokedconsiderable discussion, and tbo concensusof opinion was that the starling was abird that earned wages, and should not bedestroyed, but the sparrow, white-eye,blackbird, thrush, and minah were birdsthat ate more fruit than they earned, andshould be destroyed. Various means hadbeen adopted to gain that end, especiallypoisoning. Ultimately it was resolved,“ i'hat in the opinion of this conferencethe administration of the Small BirdsAct should be taken oat of the hands oflocal bodies and administered by theGovernment ” It was agreed to form aNational Horticultural Society, of whichMr E. li.Williams was appointed Hawke’sBay representative; each society or asso-ciation to contribute 10a 6d to provide afund to establish the association. An in-teresting account of the growth of theTeviot Association was also given, show-ing the way in which they had success-fully coped v/ith the question of control-ling the market for fruit down South,

The chairman then invited discussionupon the report, when, with regard to thefigures re imports, it was pointed out thatthey also included a largo proportion oftropical fruit, which could not be grownin New Zealand. With reference to applegrowing, it was suggested that thegrowers co-operate and grow certainvarieties with a view to establishing a

reputation in the market for those par-ticular apples, and it was agreed that thesociety discuss the matter at a futuremeeting. As to codlin moth and spraying,Mr Baxter stated that he had tried thespray similar to that recommended by MrHanlon, only that ho bad also includedlime in the mixture. He bad found itvery effective, only that it scorched thetree, hue not sufficient to destroy thefruit. The general opinion was thatParis green was the most effective remedy,but that it could not bo relied upon toprocure it with uniform strength, and itwas suggested that the AgriculturalI .'apartment be asked to take the analysisin hand and supply to fruitgrowers withuniform strength.it was then agreed that the meeting

adjourn until after receiving the Govern-ment report upon the conference beforemaking any resolutions upon the report.

SPORTING.NOTES BY “FETLOCK,”

The owners of horses engaged in theHawke’s Bay Hunt Club meeting, which |takes place on Wednesday next, ate re- !minded that acceptances for all eventsclose this evening with the honorary sec-retary, at the Pacific Hotel, Hastings, at8 p.m. Fr m what I gather the accept-ances are likely to be large, and there isevery appearance of this popular clubhaving a most successful and largelyattended meeting. The club has providedfor lovers of music, the Hastings TownBand having been engaged, in fact, every-thing will be carried out on tho same linesas an up-to-date cross-country meeting,with the exception that no totalisatorswill be opened on the ground. Intheir place, however, a number of book-makers will bo licensed, and this willenable sports to indulge their bettingtastes, from the nimble half-crown up toany amount desired. The Railway De-partment will run special trains to andfiom the course, and Mr R. Winsley andMr A. Eliingham will run tho luncheonrooms and refreshment stalls. '1 he pro-gramme is a varied one, consisting ofseven events, the first of which will startat 12.20 p.m.

In view of this meeting and the forth-coming spring fixtures, a large number ofhorses are at present working on theHastings tracks, but owing to the contin-uous rain the ground is on the heavy aide,and work during the past week hasbeen of a slow nature, as trainershave, no doubt, come to the conclusionthat as they have to race in the rain, andon heavy tracks, they might as well pre-p\ro their horses under timilar condi-t.ons, and work goes on regularly, not-withstanding tho unfavorable elements.

On Tuesday morning Warwick, Taheke,and Cure (the latter a neat rising 3-year-old chestnut colt by St. Leger—-LadyCureton), the property of Mr K. J. Watt,and an inmate of Mr T. Quinlivan’astable, were associated over six furlongs,the St. Leger colt boating Taheke byabout a length, with Warwick badlybeaten off.

On Thursday work commenced byRatriona going three times round at anice half pace. This mare I would liketo see pay In r way for her owner’s sake,as ho is a real good sort If looks go foranything she soon will. Moleskin alsocovered throe rounds at half pace, Ngaiowis sent four circuits, twice steady andtwice at. half pace. This mare has fur-nished beautifully, and 1 think it is onlya matter of time (that all this family-want) in order to mature. Ngaio’ebrother was also giving trotting andcantering exercise. Tigress was sent acouple of rounds of throe-quarter pacework. The Tigredia mare looks none the'worse for her Wellington engagements,and I think if all goes well she will beone that will be hard to beat in theWinter Cup at Christchurch.

Warwick, Andromeda, Tigrieoma, andTaheke were given the only gallop on theflat on Thursday morning. I'ho order atthe finish was Tafaeko leading by aboutsix lengths, Tigrisoma second, and theother two badly beaten off. The time re-gistered was good, and no doubt this horsohas come on wonderfully of late. Waitio,who is now quartered with J, Rollo, wasgiven long strong work over about fivecircuits. Mystify, also an inmato of J.Kollo’s stable, was also given strong work.Murfitt’s team, Nectar and Garnet, weregiven about U mile over the hurdles, thefirst named having all the best of it. Gar-net. tomy eye, does not look the horse howas at our winter meeting, MrP. Martin’sstring of three rising threo-year-olda weresent four times round at a nice canter,the second and last time spurting homefor about two furlongs. That beautifulbay colt of Mr Fraser’s, I notice, was onlycantering to hold his opponents safe. Thiscolt should wall repay the popularmember for Napier his expenditureonhim before long.

Moifaa (D. Watt) and Roller (P. Wil-liams) were sent for about two miles overthe steeplechase country on the courseproper, Roth horses jumped faultlessly,and the trial was worth going a long wayto see, for both stood off and landed to-gether, fence for fence. If not mistakenI think that Roller held his opponent alittle safe at the finish, but 1 have seenMoifa gallop before on the track, and re-verse his form when the colors are up.Mrs Ellingham, the owner of thechampion, was present to see the jump-ing, which speaks well for her interest inthe horse’s work, and his groat perform-ances.

Others to do steady work wore Mystifyand Chris. Palaver has been responsiblefor good solid work during the week, andif at! goes well, should bo one of the bestHawke’s Hay representatives for theCup.

The Hawke’s Bay Jockey Club mustfeelproud of having scored a record innominations for the classical event.

Looking over the weights for the GrandNational .Steeplechase, X like the chancesof Holler, Moifaa, Social Pest, Straybird,and The Guard, and for the GrandNational Hurdles I would pick TheNeedle, Social Post, Haydn, and Strath-nairn to furnish one of the winners. FortheWinter Cap, if I were asked to pickone straight out I would plump forTerror. .

The Te Mahanga yearlings to be offerednext March are ail looking well, and havecome through the winter so far insplendid condition. They are broughtin every afternoon and fed and stabled.The lot comprise some20 yearlings. LaterI will give a review of the youngsters tobe offered.

MrK. Goossman has his stable full ofhorses, and is kept busy with the variouscharger under his care.

Mr J. Maher will return to Hastingsnext week, and take over the trainingestablishment lately under the charge ofMr P. Martin. Maher has bad largo ex-perienceat tiro business, and as he ia amost careful and painstaking trainer heshould soon have his stable full. X under-stand that ho has already boon promiseda large measure of support from some ofhis old clients.

July 25, 1901The weather, though not bad for winter,

keeps file roads (or mud tracks) verysloppy. I wonder when our CountyCouncil will rise to the occasion and goin fora loan, as other counties do,and letus have a road or two worthy of the name?We are simply trudging through mudand sludge that wo may leave a cleanbalance-sheet to posterity.

For years past vote after vote has beenpassed by t’arliament for the improve-ment of the Nuhaka hot spit'gs, and nota tithe of the money has been spent. Isthe Government or tho Commissioner ofCrown Lands (the administrator) toblamo r Why not place the money in thohands of some looil body, and I guaranteeit will be spent, and economically spenttoo.

MrFoyzor’s large addition to his hotelis nearing completion. The Ferry Hotel,occupied by Mr P. Crarer, is also to re-ceive considerable additions to it at anearly date. Mr Finch is now in the dis-trict for thepurpose of expediting mattersin that connection, and also with a viewof considering the most suitable site forthe proposed new hospital, previous to hisdrawing plans, Ac, therefor.

The Tangaroa has been up at the wharftwice lately and was heartily welcomed,as our food supplies were rather short.The river improvements under the man-agement of Mr 1 amsay are assuming amore definite shape, and there is everyreason to hope that they will he a success.The shoals in the river have been clearedcut by the recent floods, and though thebar is not what we would wish, still it isnot unnavigable. The piling is beingcarried on to completion on the easternside, which, when finished, ia almost cer-tain to produce a water-force sufficient tocope with onr adverse sou’-wssters andkeep a tolerably clear channel. Thepiles on the eastern side have been sub-ject to a most severe buffeting by therecent heavy sens, and (notwithstandingtome croakers) are still in statu quo. Thestrong easterly gales have driven a longnarrow spit towards the west side, therebycausing the river to debouch much to thewestward and warhingbato the piling, butthough some of the local gum piles areloose, the shod ironbarksare holding well,and all being waied together there is asyet no danger. Mr liamsay is now en-gaged in drivinga few piles for protectivepurposes, after which a substantial con-crete bank willbo raised, which will pre-vent the wash round the back of thepiling on the western side.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE HAWKE’S BAY HERALD SATURDAY JULY 27 1901.

CAMERON'S MISTAKEA CANADIAN STORY.By Harold wild,Author of ‘ Zeima,’

The queer-toned fiddle and wheec.concertina werebeing strained to theiruttermost that evening, and NapoleonDesiuteau and Pierre Cossette, theowners of the aforesaid instrument-,were barely allowed time to swalloweven a tiny glassful ol ‘whisky blauc ‘between the intervale of the dances,which were the order of the evening atTeltphor Gagnon's silver wedding fes-tivities.

Amid the crowd of. merry-makers,mostly French Canadians of the habi-tant type, was a group which seemed t -

stand slightly aloof, though still takinga great share of interest in the proceed-ings. The first of them, lollingbsck inan oldrush-bottomed chair, and talkingto Gagnon, the host, was a tall, line-looking man, with hecilhy sunburntfeatures wearing a pleasant thoughlather wooden expression, his mn-oulirframe attired in greyhomespnn, hiscoatopen, showing a dark-bine shirt, tied athe back with a pink lace, ard hislower extremitiea terminating In strongbrown leather top-boots, whilst a fur-Uned coat was thrown over the back ofhis chair, and an aslrachan cape lay cnthe table beside him. This was MrThomas Cameron, otherwise knownunder the various titles of ‘MonsieurCawmon,’ ‘ The Boss,' or 1 Tommy ’ byhis more intimate friends; lumber con-tractor, store owner, and partner In asmall river steamer,and living in a largehabitation in theneighboring village of iSb Nicholas. Sitting on the table be-aide him was a younger man, dressed tlittle more carefully, in fluer cloth, hisfeet kept warm by brown felt stock-ing*,and daintily beaded mocassins, forGeorge Daraay was reckoned a man olimportance, seeing that he pos-cssed alarge abate of the bed* of iron ore inthat district, betides a considerableamount of this world’s goods, and thewherewithal to keep and make more ofthem, left by the elder Darns; to hi-wo, the only memento of the dark-eyedlittle French Canadian wife who diedwhen Georgewas born, and the robustframe and physique derived from hi-father was relieved from any suspicionof heaviness by the innate grace andactivity of the French blood from hismother's side. He possessed pleasingand good-natured features, his darkbrown hair was crisp and curly, sad bi-eyes continually twinkled with thatlook which u generally termed ' wicked,’though at present he appeared rathersubdued, and stole many aide glances ata third member ofthe group. This thirdperson was seated near the two men,looking on with an amused ciprem >a atold Ovide as he danced the * jig,' andevery now and then expreesing her ap-proval by a word of applause. BslleCameron was like her elder brother inthat she possessed the same healthy,strong appearance, thongh the woodenexpression could never have existed onher features, which althoughnot by anymeans regular or classic, showed vivacityend determination and her large dirkeyes were filled with intelligence andtenderness, tut the long la-br-s werelowered as, turning to her companions,ahe cinght one of Dirnay’e tide gUnce-.Many other peep’e in the room notic 'dthose glance*, and mysterious whisp r-and expressive nods passed betweenvinous members of the company.

'Hello! Dobcia!' suddenly canto inthe tones cf Cimeroa's voice, as benoticed somebody approaching him ; ‘ Ihaven't fees you for six months, 1 guess,eh.'" The old Canadian to whom toeremark was addressed replied, ‘ N .mon-bur, not for longer that that. Itwas before yon went to hit. Nichols’.’

* Ah, jei 1 We!!, wheresb u!s havejoa been skipping t ff to this time 1 ’

‘Ab, monsieur,’ replied Dubai", ‘Ihave been way bsck beyond the lakes,ap among the Teles B -nlee, with Dr.Gaulois thd two surveyors, and amcome back with the mow. And goodnights we've had cut there, dancing ‘ L-Cariboo’ and ringing ‘Brlgtdier’ tillmessieurs were tired. And grand shoot-ing wehid u well. It brings hick th-time when I was up in the Ab.'r.akicountry with your father, monsieur’—here he turned to Darnay—‘ wren hetried for iron np on the Grand IV.Monsieur Darnay lived where you doB«w, at St. Nicholas.’

Cameron, who was this timesddre-tedby tbs Canadian, replied in hts slow,MQtsotioji manner, ‘Ah, jet. I re-member somebody said so. Bat 1reckon the house is older even thanGeorge’s fath-r, for itbelong’d, so 1hear, to UadsmeDtroay's people beforethat. Indeed, U dates bsck—part atleast—to old colonial days.’

'Ah, yes,’ said Dubois, seating him*•elf and stuffing bis maple-wood pipe-bawl with strong habitant tobaco, • itwas there, to--*, lived old Mam'selteGenevieve, who, it Is said, left some-thing in that old house, which as jetnobody has f. und.'

'What's this!’ suddenly said Dr-nay, with a note of interest in his vu ;c-,'l’ve hoard of the old MatuVllr, bn;nothing of what ycu say. What did sheleave, Dubois!'

‘Welt, monsieur, we hear that fieleft a chest of money in it, rot rolls (fbills, but good F.-e- c’i aad English gold,and many trinkets.'

‘ Ah, bet Pierre, men che:,’ broke Inold Ovide Kudu, who with others hadbeen listening to Dubois, 'it is seid thatmam'selle threw the chest in the brookcf La Piniere. where It is looked sftcrby Monsieur La Diable.'

‘Sacre, Ovide,’ replied Dab-is Irritably, not caring to have hi? rcrv.odoubted, ‘I know it Is not a--, ’’o’ 1only a habitant's tale. Sheleft it hi'd.In the hou-e.’

* Wa-i-al,’ drawledCimenn, ‘ I guessif she did I’ve bought the place - nt andnot.and what’a thers’ll b.-lorg to me.**ebbe it was a better bargain than Ithought.’

•Well, I'll hold we'll not quarrel overthe chest, Tom, theugh nd mam’s-ilewas my ancestress,’ said Darnay with aUath. looking meanwhile at Bello, whobad listened to all this conversationwith interest, and a heightened color,which was not lessened by George's lesttemark.

‘ And so,' the said, really So cover fcf ralight confosi-n. ‘cur house Contains atreasure, Tom’

Cameron, as has b?en observed,was a

alow speaker, bat had he b;eu a qu'ckone he could not have answered the ias;question as sharply as it was answeredf»r him.‘lt does!’ came in emphatic tunes

from George.Belle, with a now crims.-n face,

thought she bad hardly improvedmatters by her last words, end hf-rbrother did not appear to ccme vertmuch to her rescue, tor he fiuiantd tinconversation on the subject by drawling, ‘ i’as, and I guess it’d ba wed.looked after.'

George stared in a rather surprisedmannerat hia friend, bat just then oleDubois’ voice broke inagain upon them.Gradually the dancing ctased, and the,all gathered round, and listened to la-old ‘voysgeur,’ until the small hoar-cause on apsce, and the sleigU werbrought round, when, aft-r a fin?drlck, the compiny, wrapped up r‘ buffaloes,' started away to an ace ampaniment of jingling bells and drlv-.rshouts, over the tnox track glitterio.to the moon and the myriads of stars.

It wai nearly a fortnight after thedance at Gagnon’s that Dubois, walkingup the steps to the platform oppo.-iu-tha store at St. Nicholas, met Cameronjustissuing from the door.

‘ Bun jonr, monsieur,' said theFr-.-nct -

mao, railing his cep politely,1 Jour, Pierre. Cold this morning,

eh ! ‘ replied theother shortly.• I’ve been up to the house to s-r

youf sister, monsieur, about those cor i-of maple of mine near the depot.’

‘ Oh, ye?, I guess you'll have got adarned sight more out of her than youwouldout of me. Did you get somewhisky 'i 1

1 Oai, monsieur, and I would havetold matc’ieile about my doings amongthe TotesBoules, but somebody turnerup in a sleigh, and’—here the speakerpat in a whimsical expression ‘ Ithongbt m»m’?eile would like to lie irthem some other time.’

An angry flashcame across Cameron'sfeature?. as he looked sharply at Cue oldCanadian.

‘And whose waa the sleigh r ’‘ Need Monsieur ask I ’ replied Ononis

with a laugh. ‘ Whose it was Ido notknow, but Monsieur Darnsy was insideit. 1

‘ D—n h'm ! ’ the other heard with anastonished look on hia face, ‘ but i'llspoil his little game. I know what jbs’tafter.’ And without another word ths•toreowner strode away, while Duboissaid to himself. ‘ Mon Dieu 1 But ilv

boss does cot like it. Panvre Mona earDarnay.’

1 Toe housj by the sawmill certainly' was old, bet had been built In a sub-stantial way, aid beneath the morerecent covering of shingles, the stoutwooden walls still mocked the fury ofthe element*. It wasplaced in a strangelocality, with one side looking over thesteep bank of the little Riviere an Lard,which now lay looked in the hard em-brace of a Canadian winter; twoother-,facing the pine trees of the bush, smongwhich lay the auow-ooveredrnins of theold sawmill, and the fourthcommanding

view of the rongh track from St.Nicholas, up which on this night inquestion a man was plodding along,bending bis head as the wind roaredthrough the bash, and brought with itreminders from tho far north, in theshape of half-frozen stinging snow-flakes.

It was George Darnay on his way tothe Camerons, in whose company heseemed to take more pleasure than ever—a fact which the gossips of St.Nicholas were not glow to observe, andwhich led tomany conversations by theide of the stoves when the day’s workwas over.

He was nearing the open spaoo in thepost and rail fence through which thes!e!gh-treck approached the home, andhad nearly gained the dcor when a gustof extra force made him bend his headlower, and, not looking where he wasgoing, he turned the corner of thehouseaway from the door. The lights of thewindow being hidden from view, he feltout with bis stick against thehouse sideand tapped to feel his way.

As he osme round the corner again,his head still bent to the blast, he wasaware of a stronger light than before on

he snow at his feet, and raising biseyes, ho saw the door was wide open,with Tom Cameroa on the threshold,looking out at him.

‘Hello,’ said George, ‘this night’s aholy t-rror, and don’t you forget it.’

‘ I lost my way when that last windcame, for I reckon you esn’t see more’n-ix i> ches with this tarnation snow invoar eyes. Bat look here, don’e yonlake up all the doorway,’ and thespeaker, who had caught eight of some-body behind Cameron, pushed bis wayio, the other giving place In a veryhesitating manner.

‘ Gracious,Tom 1’ came in the tones■:f Belle Cameron’s voice, ‘you stickthere as though yon didn't wish MrDarnay to come inside.’

Cameron muttered something underhis breath about people making theirown arrangements, which luckily wasnot heard by Darnay, but which causedBelle to look at her brother in anxiousbewilderment.

George, who appeared not to noticeanything strange in Cameron’s manner,removed bis snow-covered cap, and wasunbuttoning his coat, saying as be did"o, ‘These walls are jolly thick, Tom, asI know, what wilh the old part, thespace between the shingles and tho in-side drawings. I don’t think you beardme knock, did veu, when I was feelingnt way renud !’

The owner of the house, who badsealed himself opposite the fire, witahis bsck ha'f turned to the ether two,did rot reply, and George repeated hlaqufs’l-jD, this time in a tone if slighsurprise, his face expressing the famestate, which deepened into open-moutheda-tonistment at the other’s next action.

Cameron turned round sharply, hisiace crimson, and in a voice thick wilhpa--ion. -aid In a d-llberve tone :

‘ Knocking or no km eking, 1 guessit's about time I toll you that I'm nrts curoeJ fool, and I reckon I know thereason of your oming here so often.Bnt I t«-!l y u you’re barkirg uo thewrong tree this time, and as soon a* y< n

»e to git you can. I’m buss of thishouse, a- d everything io it, and don’tyou forget it. And as for you, Belle,you ju*t keep quiet, for I’ll not ataodack talk from anybody.'

G-orge, whose face had flushed andth.i-u grown pale, buttoned up his coatagain, and taking Lis c-p, replied,quietly, * I hope Miss Cameron will nottrouble to doany back talk on my ac-count, for I guess It isn't my wsyjtostay long in the house of a man whotalks to me ‘ike that. But before I go,let me tell 500. Cameron, as you knowmy ln>tnlion«, that I shall st ck to themin epite of everything.'

When Cameron turned again, his faeewasrearly inrple, and be half raisedbis band, whilst Belle jumped up andsaid quickly, ‘Tom, Tom, what are youd ing? Have 50a gone out of youreen«e»r’

Bat her brother put her on one side,and locking at Dsroay, said In a voicethat now shook, • Well, you'll find thattwo people ran stick to a reaolution.Now go, and if ever I catch yon nearthis place again, I’ll shoot yon like— '

Bat his sentenceremained nnfiniahed.for bis sis'er, with a faint shriek, placedher hand over his month, whilst Dirnaywithout another word, though with astrange lock in the direction of Belle,oren’d the door.

Toeonly found in the room was thatof half-chcked sobbing from Belle, who,with her face buried in her hsnds, eatat the table. Her brother looked ather fora minute or so, smoking fierce! y-,il the tune, and Den said, ‘Come,Bell--, don’t he a fool. He Is simplyafter—' but the girl sprang to her feet,act fic-'d him with h-royet Dishing,

‘MrD,rnay is whst you never willbe, and that is a gentlemen, and I’msure, though perhaps I ought not to-ay it, that I hope he wilt slick to bisintention?, and yen’ll find that yon arenot a’togetfcer boss of the whole con-tents cf this house.' And she movedquickly past him before he could reply,and ascended the stairs to her bedroom

Her brother looked after her. hisangrv expression giving plane toone ofdecided surpii-e. aci then turned to thelire, multi-ring, ' It’s a nice thing whenBelle taki s his part, He might be herhusband, from the way she takes on.I was perhaps a bit rough, but I guessI'll have no d—d half-bred Frenchmanno-ing round here after what he canfind, though the house did bekng tohis grandfather. And it old mam’selleGenevieve was fifty limes his great-sun’, thi- place belongs to me, end X,-utis every domed thing in it.’

The room was very qniet, fer Bellehad retired, and Tom Cameron aatsmoking before the tire, and thinking.He had r.ot >-per.t a very enjoyable timesince hia quarrel with Darnay, for thevillagers, who quickly tented trouble,as Villag- rs will do all the world over,■did not giye their aympathiis to him,though the? knew precious little of the■ifTiir, as Darnay would siy nothing,and the; dare not ask ‘ the boss ’ or hi--isSer, tha lormer of whom hud kept t)bim-t'.f, and had not made overtures toanyb dr, txc-pt Indeed Pierre Dubois,11 whom she still talked as before, andperhaps made more of him, and puzzledthat worthy in asking him many ques-lions concerning the house by the saw-mill, and the people who bad i habitedit before him, and especially of Mam’?-elle Genevieve.

However, this night Cameron sud-denly rose from his seat by the tire, andgoing to-the door walked out into theamsll en'rjnce, and listened intently.Everything was quiet, evidently Bellemd the servant were asleep in theirdifferent bedrooms, and thinking it wastime for him to retire, he walked intothe kitchen to put more logs on thestove and make it up for the night. Thestove was placed in what bad been theold fireplace in the days of open fires,

: and as be bent over it his pipe slippedfrom hls'pccket and rolled Into the backof the reee-B.

lie bent down to try and reach it, bntfound he must get further behind ihostove. Hating done so and recivcredhia pipe, he raised has head, forgettinghe waa inalde the recess, and caught itrather sharply against the arched aideof the old chimney, which gave out ahollow sound. As be bent again, witharather impolite ejaculation, a piece ofboard fell to the floor, followed by asmall cloud of dust.

He looked up to where the board hadfallen from, a apot close to where theatove pipe, had been put through tocommunicate with theupper rooma, ar.dhe saw, notwithstanding the protectionof tin plate, the wood hid dried andalmost charred, and there he eaw a darkhole. Striking a match he looked intoit, and then the expression of his facechanged,his eye? sparkled, and insertinghia arm, he pulled out a small dust-covered iron-bound box, heavy, for hehad to take two hands to lift it.

Trembling with ' xcitement, a elatewhich must hove becu strange to thenimby composed lom Cameron, heplaced the box before him on the floorin tba stream of light from the stovedoor.

‘ Mam’stile Genivievo'd treasure !'

There could be no doubt about it !

‘Holy Moses I’ he muttered. ‘Iguess Ihold the winning cards on thi?deal, Darnay or no Darnay,’ and bewalked toa small tablenear thewindow,in a draw of Which he knew he shouldfind a hammer and other tools.

The shutters had hot been pulled to,for this window was protected by thebush from the searching Winds, andwithout intending he_ looked up at tb-glass, white over with frost, behindwhich the moonlight gleamed faintly.

That surely was a shadow oast uponthe panes, as, though somebody hadjust passed, and keep quiet be distinctlyheard a footstep.

Then his face grew dark with angerand withclenched teeth he turned awayfrom the table, softly closed the stov,door, and walked Into the room fromwhich he had come, put out the light,after taking something from a shelf.

Then stealing back into the kitchen,be drew the bolt of the door, slippedinto theoutside poroh, and opening theouter door in the same quiet mannerlooked at the enow-oovored enclosure.

What was that by thehouse aide ju»tstealing aroond the corner and comingtowards him ?

He stepped sharply out intojtheopen,and the figure started back suddenly.

ThenCameron’s arm straightenedout,tho cold moonlight gleamed on some-thing bright, there was a flash and asharp report echoed over thepinewoods,

For a moment the figure by the housestood motionless, and then fell heavilyagainst the shingles, and down on toibe snow. A woman’s scream rangout froman upper window, and Cameronfound himself standing stupidly quie’,looking at tho object on the snow, fromwhich a stain spread over the whitenessaround it.

Old Dr. Dugre at St. Juliet camedown quickly on hearing a loud knock-ing at his door in the middle of thenight, and was not altogether pleasedwhen he found Pierre Dubois of StNicholas, standing without, in whoserear wasa sleigh, with the horses steam-ing as though it had come along at asmart pace.

But he had small time given to thinkover matters for which very little ex-planation beyond (hat the doctor waswanted, Pierre bundled him into thesleigh as soon as he was ready, and thebells jingled as they started back overthe moonlit snow road to St Nicholas.

The sledge flew through the village,np to to the house by the saw-mill, andbefore the old doctor quite understoodmatters he was standing by the sofa inthe old kitchen upon which lay a manvery still, with a white faoo, add awoman bending over him, attending (owhat the doctor soon found was a bulletwound in the side.

Close to the bed, with a pale bntimpassive face, stood Tom Cameron,and on the flo.-r, half hidden under theblood-stained cloths, was a dusty box.In the background the doctor noticed »

frightened looking servant-maid, andold Ovido Poulin from the village.

The doctor motioned the others toone side, and bent over the woundedman. After a minute or two's examina-tion, he looked np, and said quietly, ' itis a nasty wound, and might have beenvery serious, but the man has faintedmore from shook thanloss of blood.’

1 Thank God ! ’ came from Belle’s lipr,and she bid her face in her handker-chief, and turned away, whilst theexpressionof her brother’s face slightlyrelaxed, and he also moved aside,though still preservinga dead silence.

Dugre opened bis case, and mixedsomething in a glass, which he admin-istered to the wounded man, whosemoaning soon ceased, and who, after-ome few minutes unclosed bis eyes,vhioh gfcz-d vacantly arouud until they

rested on Belle’s white face, she having.pproached the bedside again; thenthey seemed to fill with a recollection,a look half of horror, and half ofsurprise gradually came over hie face,and he said In a low voice, ' What hashappened I Have I—’ Then he stop-ped, and after another short silencecontinued, ‘ Where is Tomb'

The other occupants of the roomlooked curiously at Comeron as hestepped up to the bedside, saying in aharsh voice, which made his sisterglance at him with horror on her whiteface, ‘l’m here. What is it you want V

Darnay looked up with a an expressionwhich could hardly be analysed, andpotting his hand over the wound in bisside, said quietly, 1 What made you doit, Tom, or was it a mistake?’

‘ No, it wasn’t a mistake, and I guessit is only fair for a man to guard hisown property. I tell you what’—andh?re thespeaker’s voice grew unsteadywith passion, and he seemed to have onregard for the wounded man, or theconsequences cf his own fresh act—--1 whatever is in this house Is mine, for Ibonght it, and shall stick to it, thoughI swing In the end for holding on. Sowhether old Mam’selle Genevieve wasa hundred timesyour great aunt, I hangto what I fiad, treasure or no treasure.'

At the close of this violent speechCameron looked defiantly at the nrn hehad shot down, but this defiance fadedfrom bis face, as be noticed, in spite ofhia amotion, the look of utter perplexityand astonishment which appeared onDarnay’s features, and which was re-flected in Belle’s pale countenance, andindeed on that of every other person inthe room.

Then the same thought seemed tostrike George and Belle together, forthey both opened their months to speak,the latter giving away to the woundedman, however, who, with a smile, heldcut his band.

1 And so, Tom, you thought I cameafter old Mam’sello’a treasure P Did iinever strike you that the place herocontained something of far more valueto me than that?’ And ho lookedstraight at Belle, whose white cheeksgot more color Into them, as to a re-sponse to a faint indication she orm«nearer, and then dropping on her kneeshid her face on the pillow,

Oameron, with a glance at his sister,staggered *or a moment as thereal truthof the affair flashed across him, andleaned against the wall to steady himself, and this lima the silence in Un-room was so intense that the oresk ofa frosted nail in the shingles soundedlike another pistol-shot, and the ownerof the house, with one hand over hiseyes, extended the other across hissister, and gripped that of Darnsy, whowas the first to speak.

‘ Well, Tom, I guess we'll have nomore shooting over the treasure, eh?But you can cure my wound, old manvery easily,’ and be placed his dis-engaged hand on Bello’s shoulder.

Cameron nodded. for speak he dared t, and then old Ovide unlatched thedoor toslip out, and through the openportal came in the feint light of thedawn, as it flashed in roseate splendourover the snow-crusted bush, and oneblight ray pierced the frost-crustedwindow-panes, and rested on a smallchest.

IN QUEST OF THENIGHTINGALE.

By DONALD MACDONALD.

It It a good thing to get away fromLondon at times, to get away from tbnloneliness of it, from the foelingpfdeso-lation that will come sometimes to astranger in this greatest yet loneliestcity m the world. It is that same feel-ing which makes it a relief to slip oatof Fleet-street, with Its noise and itsbustle, into such a quiet historic spot asthat old church of the Temple, with Itsbronze effigies of the Crusaders sleepingon the floor-way—solifelike In thesleepthat has lasted for hundreds of vest'.

ilist yon step gently lest you wakethem. They are real, those dead men,because they are forgotten. The re-cumbent figures, who lie with their lotscrossed,wereall soldiersof the(Jros6,whofought against Saladin ; yet, saving oneEarl of Pembroke, no one knows theirname or their history, Lying there, intheir armor, with their shields on theirbreasts and their swords clasped—justas many knights whomight hare thrownthemselves down yesterday, spent withthe long fight—they belong as maoh toyou—the alien—as to thegr latest Lon-doner of them all. Tou are amongstfriendsat last. So, in theHelds outsidethe cities, there is company ; snob com-pany as has been made kin to you bydear old Gilbert White and lliohardJefferies. You need no guide-bookthere. Every bird in the woods, everywild flower in the hedges, seems asfamiliaras though you hsd spent jourlife amongst them ; yet theacquaintanceis one of pen and pencil only. Yonknow the celandine, the coltsfoot, thefoxglove, and flowering nettle at once;you know that these green fields, whichhave fattened into mouldwith the decayof centuries, can belong to one spot ofoaith only; and, with a sigh of satisfac-tion, you say, 1 Ah, this is England. 1

The aotud We almost equals the ideal,nd than this I can imagine no greater

pra'se.I stood on a rise on Wickham Com-

mon, outside the city, yet hardly awayfrom it. 1had come tohear the night-ingale, and wondeted if that could byany possibility be illusion, Eor whenyou have sat where Johnson never sat,and seen Old Cariosity Shops that werenot built in Dickens’s day, you begin todoubt things,and wonder whether, afterall, It were not better to stick to themusio-halla and cherish the old dels--ions without shattering them by con-tact and acquaintance. Sc I had oomedoubting much, hoping just a little.And by and by that ridge on which Istood began to shape itself into some-thing I had read of, but never seenThere was a high mound in the centraof the plateau that in Spite of the black-thorn and flowering gorse, looked tohave been once man's handiwork. Andall round the crest of the hill was aditch, which Time had not yet filled,and which could neither be out by hus-bandry nor by the storms of a thousandyears. It had such perfect commandof the country round about that thedefendersof London to-day would haveseized and held It—just as the ancientBritons and Romans did In their days.For this was a keep of the Britons ofolden time until, just on snob a springday as this, the Romans came chargingup the slopes with their bronze spear-heads glistening in the sunlight, andtheir scaly of mail Clatteringa noteof victory. You may see in theMuseumthe very spear-beads that carried it, andthe abields that were not atont enoughtodefend it. And youknow that this isRagland—Old England withouta doubt.And if yon would oome ont of thatmistypast Into theyesterday ofhistory—it wasamongst those oak trees yonder thatAnne Boleyn—or AnnieBuilen, as theycall her hereabout lived. It wasthrough these fields beneath thatfat Barry the Eighth rode in search ofanother conquest, another Queen, andanother victim- In the old hall at thefoot of the hill William Pitt, Earl ofChatham, lived. Thatpathway on theother aide is Wdberforoe's Ride. Inthe wood farther down is an old oaktree, clamped and bound about withiron to prevent its falling to decay.Properly so. too, for under that oakPittand Wilberforoe discussed their Antl-S'avery Bill. Just under the old Roman.renoh is another oak tree with a Uadi-tion. It is called Millais’ oak, for thegreat artist painted that oak tree andits tradition into hie picture, ‘The Pre-scribed Royalist.' Even now there Is acavalier and a maiden seated in thehollowedoak. The cavalier wears hosesod knee-breeches—and is oiling abicycle. So the present la everywherehand-in-hand with thepast.

To this spot of many memories I hadcome to Helen to the nightingale. Theafternoon was youngand thedaybright,so that I might have towait. But therewas distractionenough. Abrilliant cookpheasant led two of bia dames outof thec ipso with all the assurance of a birdwho knew that September had yet tocome, A little later there wasa strangeandrapid whirr of wings—sharper thanthe burr of an Australian plain quail,yet not so clean as the clip of a bronze-wing pigeon—and a pair of partridgespitched and pattered along the turf.And this was almost in London. Robinswere all about one, and I never knew(hat the robin could sing so sweetly.But, for the matter of that, the wholeplace was an aviary. English birdshave, indeed, the gift of song. Everytree, every bit of woodland, palpitatedwith sweet bird voices. In themedleyI caught onoe or twice a distant notethat seemed familiar, and then all atonoe it came clear, unmistakable‘ Cuckoo,' and thethought that instantlyand absurdly followed was ‘ How likethe clocks! ’ With our own mopoke itrequires a vast stretch of imagination toimagine ‘ More Pork,’ as some will haveit, but thiscallis undoubtedly ‘Cuokoo.’Another oooing sound out of the oaktops told of a wood pigeon, those I sawbeing quite as large as the AustralianWongii Wongft.

As the afternoon darkened a bit, Iheard a low, throaty, gargling note Inone of the thickets, and koew by intui-tion that It was the openingnotes of themelody for which I had waited. Thesinger seemed to clear hot throat, andwas for a long time coy. Later oamecue or two experimental trills, justenough toquicken expectation-then agroup ofcyclists, a glint of a bird thatshowed cinnamon red along theback —

and silence, I watted and waited, butthe voice out of the thicket oame notagain.

I was walkingbaok In the dusk, dis-gusted, disappointed, when suddenlyout of a tangled corner right by theroadside oame the gluok! gluck!again, and then a sudden burst ofmusic, that startled whileit thrilledone.First, veritable canary notes increasedthreefold in volume—then after a littlespace a change to a beautiful liquidnote, rich, mellow, the finest in all thatwonderful range—and last of all It diedhw>V ina wailing melancholy. I knewthen that I had heard the solo of thenightingale—while for a momentdoubt-ing if it were not a quartette. Therewere at least four distinct bird voices.I sat upon the railing of arustic bridge,waiting, and wishing for more of it.Again and again and again it oame,until there could bo no longer a doubt—and always that liquid uotu the mostenchanting of all, just a little Uke the

bell-bird, but somewhat deeper, moresuggestive of running waters ina distantfern dell. To be sure of it, I askedquestions. Yes, it was the nightingale.They had been back from their migra-tion some ten days only. They cameyear by year to the same spots always,so that when oity folk come out theyknow just where they may go to hearthe nightingale. My companion wasone who knew every bird noise in thecopses. ‘That is the obaflinoh—thatthe missel-thrush,' 1 had no need ofinformation as to the skylark. It wasjust the same trill that we hear at homewhen cloud shadows of early Novemberrace across theripening wheat.

‘ I suppose goldfinches are In plenty,’I said.

‘No,’ was the answer. ‘One sswthem years ago, but they and theyellow-hammers and the linnets have all gone.'Yet I had seen goldfinches In flocks allover New Zealand, where they are butemigrants. Seen them not aloneamongst the clover Heldsabout Dunedin,but down in the very heart of the hills,where the coach road clinga above thefoaming eaters of the Otira (JorgeAnd round about Auckland the yellowHammers flattered up every gorse hedgeon the roadtide.

It is atree too long neglected in our Australianpublic parka. In the south of France,another chestnut, withcoral pink bloom,is even more beautiful.

So they growwhen Launcelot brought Q ieen Guine-vere toOamelot, tiding through ‘ sheetsof hyacinths that seemed the heavensunbreaklng throughthe earth. ‘ Icameback to the city with that song of thenightingale still ringing in my cars.And iu the streets another nightingalesang—a drab, bedraggled nightingale,who strummed a mandolin, and sang tosumo drunkard) in a beer shop:

SULLIVAN’S POSTHU-MOUS OPERA.

“THE EMERALD ISLE."

Sit Arthur Sullivan's h&mo has beenmorn conspicuous in London during the1sst few weeks then fur a lons time- be-fore his death. His comic opera, ‘ TheEmerald Isle/ baa made an unqualifiedsuccess at theSavoy. Edward German,who finished the score, and CaptainBasil Hood, who wrote the book, whichcontains some almost Qilbertian odditiesin wit, will become theSavoy writers, asGilbert and Sullivan were. Arrange-ments are progressing for a monumentto Sir Arthur in St. Paul’s Cathedral,for which permission hat bien gained,and a statue of him on the Thames Em-bankment. A Sullivan Scholarship loto be endowed In the Royal Academy ofMusic. Sir Alexander Mackenzie, inone of his lectures on Sullivan, said thatthe Savoy composer complained at arehearsal of ‘The Golden Legend’ thatho couldn’t g t away from comis-operamethods. Sullivan said ! ‘ You know,when In the 1Legend ’ the sopranocomes in to sing ‘l'm not here tongue,but to die,’ I can’t resist thefeeling thatthe chorus ought to emerge and sing Intrue Savoy fashion, ’ She don't comehero to argue but to die.’

It is a singular circumstance that theSavoy should have its Brat success Insoma years, alter the death of the twomen who were associated in the daya ofthe theatre’s greatest prosperity as wellas in those of Its undoubted decline.Far it is an open secret that in the lastten years the little theatre off the Strandhas known few pr fit-ble seasons. Ithas, in fact, existed on the occasionalrevivals of theolder optras acd the pro-ceeds of the performances of varioustravelling companies that give the Gilbert and Sullivan works in the Britishprovincial towns. The new works intended torival their predecessors hay.-m-1 with scant favor.

Sir Arthur Sullivan died before th-new opera was nearly ready for performsnee, and the tank (f completing Itwas intrusted to Mr Gorman, who foundthat Sir Arthur bad composed seventeenout of twenty-eight of the purely voeslnumbers, and had folly sketched thefinales The first fifteen numbers whichmake up the firsr act are. with two ex-ceptions, by Sullivan, although none i fh-’iu was scored by him, with the ex-

ception of two songs. Mr Germanconuibated an orchestral introductioncomposed the entire second act. andharmonised ail the choruses. So hisshare ol the work was nearly as great s'Sir Arthur's, and it is an agreoabltfeature of the success of the opera thait has introduced a new composer cloperatic music, even if ho Is not theeucc.'ssor of Sullivan.

Concerning Bssil Hood’s libretto, TheTimes says; 'lf the luvantun of »

multitude of humorous details and(unny verbal (|ulps, If not preciselynitty points of dialogue, could beaccepted as a sati-ffetory substitute fora connected pkt, then Captain Basilflood’s libretto very highlysarong things of the kind. Bat tiroyear:’of Savoy opora has col yelbocom-asfciarllated to the type of rimaricanvariety operatta, and theae who recallthe finest specimens of the Gilbenianlibretto will find it. dilllcult toaccept theeccond act of the new piece as it now■lands.’ The action takes place onehundred years ago—with plenty ofanachronisms—aud there are the usualIrish pcassnts and English to'.dlers, ■tc.What few specimens of the verre »ohave seen show that the librettist hasstriven to follow in tho footsteps ofGilbert, and that he Is ao far behind !■>but another tribute to the genius of theU'er.

THERMAL ACTIVITY.

(Rutort' i Chronicle.)On Saturday, 14th inst., a patty con-

Ssting of .Messrs lies and Paget and c.native, sallied forth on a trip of explor-ation to the latest outbreak in the nearComity of T.ske llotomahaua. Thei f rty encamped near Wairaangu andwere warned by the natives to proceedno further as great activity was manifestall around those parls. Walmaugu, nibe natives said, had never been so activeas it was the early part of that day.The whole ground for mile) aroundtrembled, and the geyser played to a(tnpendoiiß height. The lake rose overIhu banka which waa 200ft above theordinary level, and poured volumes ofboiling water into the surroundingcount'y. From the centre of the lakethe great geyser shot op, playing to theheight of live, six and seven hundredfeet. Mud ami stones were hurled fora consider>b!e dista-co from the geyser.Stones and great red-hot boulders m*tHo cool air with an angry toss and>xplo J ed with a loud r port. The pattyv eired Waiuiangn m-x' morning andbund these atrtr-mentii to be oirrtot.Boulders were found which had beenthrown fr> tn the geyser, and some woreestimated to weigh -lolhs or oOlbs each.Thtre were the marks where those huges'ones had struck the earth and bur-rowed Hair way in. Arid there was theitk» 200it below, ijuiet, tmt showingmsikj al! around cf the height towhichit had risen r n tho previous day. Marksof fresh activity were abundant. Theground near tho geyser on the tide oftho bill was perforated with steam jets,a- dmnnineral tiny geysers puffed awayIn mimic imitation of the great Wuiu-otißti. Tho whole Hat which before hadhj.o/i dry, nee mod in danger of citherf Bing through or going up. Portion*of the bank had also (alien into the lake,and the ground nil around was verytreacherous.

Two dogs accompanied the party, oneof the animals going ahead. This dogdisappeared through thecrevices severaltimes, through the ground crumblingaway under its feet. On one occasionIt wss unable to get nut again, aßa onreaching the place ft was found someloft below the surface. From a smallopening in the surface a huge subterra-nean cave extended underground lor aconsiderable distance. The dog wssfinallyrescued by one of the partygetti- g on a small ledge inside theopening, leaning down and gripping theanimsl from anottor ledge on to whichit had sprung. Proceeding oiutloaslythey at last reached the summit of ahill directlyoverlooking Lake Rotorita-hana and immediately in front was

THE NEW GEVsEIt. 1A great crevice about 15ft wide ex- I

tended from the top of the small hill-jfrom which the geyser rose to the lake. 1A huge column of steam shot Op to tho jsty and then spread out nmbre'la f .st ioo jforming a great olond. Some idea jof tho internal foroo may be gatheredfrom the fact that the steam, instead ofaso-nding gradually, shot out withsadden impttus, and never faltereduntil it reached the great height wherethe atmo; p v ero forced It to spread out.The height of the steam is estimated atover I.oooft. Water shot out in greatquantities and swept down the grertcrevice to the lake, carrying with it tonsof (he mud which h-d accumulated

j with the'Tarawera eruption. When theI geyser had subsibed, oao of the party,

the native Wi Ilanoan, proceededcautiously over the ground towards thenew eruption. The way was extremlydangerous, and with considerable dlffl> 1cully he reached the spot. Hare he(ouud a greet bole 50ft to GOft deep, iawhich the water was gurgling andboiling. Over the surface of tho muda thin coating of pink silica had beenpread, and several lumps of old pink■ilioahadbeen thrownout by tho geyser,inether curiosity was found in the shapeif a stick which had been worn smoothoy a'ones pounding on it, and hadevidently participated in the eruption 11years ago. Ou returning to his com-panion they made a careful examinationof the locality, and came to the eon-elusion that the new geyser was on Ihisite of

THE PINK TERRACES.W1 Duncan is a very old resident in

iho district and knew the locality well ]bffere the eruption, and affirms thatOiore can be no doubt about the matter.Ifa says that the geyser ia not new, butis in reality the cauldron which existedon the top of the pink terraces beforethey were destroyed. At ter beingburied so long it has at last, found vent,aod the accumulation of force for year-h-s resulted in the great outbreakWi Duncan considers that the pinkterraces were not broken up. only buried,and that if this force of water oulinuesto tun over the mad as it is dung nowthere la a possibility of our lost terrace-being restored by the mud being washedaway. The party returned to townthe neyt day.

A MUCH NEEDED REFORM.

THE SPITTING NUISANCE.

The New York correspondent of theDaily Telegraph says (April 3);

An energetic crusade was started to-day by the Board of Health against thepractice of expectoration. A month agothe brief and disregarded placards intraraosrs wo changed to read thus:‘ Spitting on the floor of this car is amisdemeanour, Five hundred dollar*

I fine, or Imprisonment for one year, orI both, may be the punishment.—By orderof the Board of Health. 1

One nundred and eighty men, praoti-I call j the entire strength of the sanitaryI staff, were engaged in riding all day for

1 the purpose of detecting people guiltyI of the offence in question, and so farI forty arrests have been made. Busines-

CHURCH-GOERS PAID IN COIN.

A remarkable scheme for drawingpeople to church has just been Intro-duced by the Rev. Dr. Carnes, the pastorof the Methodist Church, of JerseyShore, New Jersey.

Advertisements appeared in the locslnewspapers recently offering to pay ugum of money to every person attend-ing every morning service at his church,

The money for this purpose was givenby a wealthy man, whoso name is un-known.

Hundreds cf people responded to therffor, and the church was crowded to thedoors. Every person on leaving waspresented with five cents.

Encouraged by this success, the pastoris advertising again to the same effeoi.Rival clergymen in the neighbourhood,finding their congregation depleted bythis novel proceeding, are consideringthe advisability cf bidding against th ■enterprising pastor. Interesting dovoiopments are expected,

MEASURING RAINFALLS.

We are constantly reading in thepapers that so many Inches of rainfallnave been recorded daring the past weekor month, as the ca-o may be. Howmany of our readers know the systemfollowed in this measuring? Thamethod is comparatively dimple. Afunnel, whose larger aperture represent!-a surface of 100 square inches, is placedn such a position that it o&lches the

direct fall of the rain. From this funneltha water runs to a tube, which bears anexact and carefully determined ratio tothe area of the funnel’s mouth —say one-ternth. If, therefore, the tube showswater to the depth of an inch, it is clearthat one-teoiuh of an inch of rain h»-fillei). Of course, the lube Is fillo.lwi hj a graduated scale, bo that the fallmoy ha readily soon. Thus, liin. of rnlnwould show a depth of IjOiu. m a tubeone-teonth the elr.3 of tha receivingaperture. If placed on the roof of a

building, care has to ba taken to keepthe apparatus away from the edges, inorder to prevent any peculiar slant of thewind carrying a larger proportion of rainInto the funnel than would fall into itunder normal conditions. Moreover,the larger the receiving aperture of thefunnel, the more accurate will bo theresults obtained. It is interesting tonote in this connection, too, that gaugesplae.sd on the roofs usually gather leaswater than those put on the ground.Tnia is accounted for on the theory thatin fulling the rain absorbs seme of themoi.r.uro of the atmosphere, so that thegreater distance it falls, tbo'larger arethe Individual drops.

SUNSHINE AND SLEEP.S’ooplesa people, and there are many

in this country, should court the sun.i he very worst soporific is laudanum,

and the very best is sunshine. Poorsleipers should pass as many hours asi(visible in the sunshine and as few aspossible in tha shade. Many women,says the ‘ Family Doctor, ’ are martyrs,and yet they do not kuow P. Theywear veils, carry parasols, end do allihey possibly can to keep nfl the potentinfluence which is intended to give themstrength, beauty, and cheerfulness.— Science.

SWALLOWING.

Swallowingaswordis a trick not con-ducive to health orlongevity, Uut it isnot more injuriouslban the hasty swal- ]lowing of half-masti-cated food washeddown by gulps of teaor water. Hasty eat-ing is the fall ofhealth, Sooner orbiter it must resultin indigestion, orsome other form of |stomach disease. For |the euro of the Idiseases of the jstomach, and allied |organs of digestion, |there is no medicine jso effective as Dr. IMorse's Indian Boot jPills. .Mr Vine is a jwell-known green- 1

about his suffering and cure. " For some jconsiderable time,” ho said, " 1 have had :a bad sot.to with acute indigestion, which iat last toil; me to a doctor. The painswould catch mo sharply in the pit of thestomach, and with such severity that jwhen the doctor told rue what my com- jplaint was I could scarcely believe him,,thinking that indigestion could never use |a man so badly. His advice and medicine,however, did mo no good, and 1 was ad-vised by friends to try different remedies.1 followed this one’s advice and that; butmy complaint was still as bad as over,whin I resolved to give I T. Morse'sIndianBoot Pills a trial, as I bad hoard thempraised so much by many I know who hadused them. From the first doso theynoted very well upon me, giving me morerelief than anything I had over taken, andI can recommend them to all who Bufferas I have done. ’ Dr. Morse’s IndianBoot Pills are a perfect blood purifier,anda positive euro for biliousness, indi-digestion, constipation, headaches, sallowcomplexion, liver and kidney troubles,piles, pimples, boils and blolchea, andforaalo ailments.

4 Sa Proof of tho Superior Valuc’of the', BKINSMKAD PIANOa- ill tho Colony, we insert tho following

The moat remarkaUe experience probably ever recorded in cnmeelion witha piano is reported from Maliia. In December hut Mr .1. W, iiiehard-eon forwarded a Brinsmead upright grand lo a Mada settler. Thopiano was lauded in tho small Lay at Waikokopo, but Ly anno mis-adventure the shipping agents omitted to notify th • eonaignee, whoresides some distance inland, of the landing of the instrument. l.aatweek the shipper received word that it had never been received, andho immediately proceeded to the Maliia, where he found the pianointact in its cate, and though exposed to the weather for three months,when tried it was found to have sustained not the slightest injury, andthe lone was as clear as when it lett tho factory. This is a splendidtestimony to tho keeping qualities of the Brinsmead pianos under allsorts of climatic conditions. Thu local agent has di-pesu-1 of twohorizontal Brinsmead pianos and It! upright grands by iho same makerswithin the past few weeks.

A HAPIEII LADYOFFERS SOME VALUABLE ADVICE

-EVERY READER INTERESTED.Perhaps the reader is a "Doubting

Thomas,” for Napier is full of them.Doubt, as a rule, loads to investigation,and, as “ Doubting Thomas " will not ac-cept as facts a long statementgiving par-ticulars of some incredible euro on theother side of the world ho is asked to in-vestigate tho following testimony of alocal citizen.

Mrs A, M. Culliford, 1)0 MarineParade,Napier, says: I have been a victim tokidney trouble for a number of yean, infact oil and on it troubled mo for eightyears. I could never get relief from itsagony, (bo medicine did not seem to bemade which coulddo it. I always had tolet each attack wear itself out. My eye-sight was affected, and 1 was gettingafflicted with giddiness and headaches,besides a pain in the back which wasgenerally past beariug. A fee monthsago I obtained a box of Doan’s BackacheKidney Pills at Kudos’ Pharmacy, and Istarted to use them. After a course 1I was so tree of pain and all other symp-toms that X loft off using them. Thereare no twoways about it, Doan’s Back-ache Kidney Pills are a blessing to allwhoso kidneys aro affected. Anybody bytaking them properly may be cured bytheir use."

Take no substitute. It was Doan’sHackaoho Kidnoy Pills which cured MrsCulliford, and bo sure you got the pameremedy.

Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are soldby all chemists and storekeepers at 8s perbox (six boxes for Ills 6d), or willbeposted on receipt of price by the pro-prietors, Foster-M'Clollan Co., 70 Pitt-streot, Sydney, N.S.W.
