provided there is no objection on thepart of the lenauts, and that as manytiees as can be spaied from the BotanicGardens and i\ei\lown Park be suppaudfor such planting. The repoit was adopted.

-A bonus

of £5 per annum to be given at the expi-ration of two years from the time of per-manent appointment or promotion;anda second bonus of £5 per annum at theexpiration of a second two years' ser-vice;in all, an increase of £10 per an-num after four years and three months'service. Married quaiters to be givenin lieu of such bonuses, and, should mar-ried quarters be gianted to any firemanbefore he has seived the four years or twoyears, an amount equal to the bonus tobe deducted from piesent salary, until thequalifying periods are served.

"One bonus

of £5 per annum to be granted to theforeman and coachman, and an allowanceof half a ton 'of coal per month to bomade to single men for kitchen and din-ingroom purposes;(2) that the watchmanat Manners-street station be granted threemonths' leave of absence on full pay onthe termination of his service with theCorporation. Councillor Smith, in mov-ing the adoption of the report, said thatthe recommendations had been renderednecessary by the removal of the Brigadeto new quarters,' and, jt was believed,would bo found satisfactory to bothCouncil and firemen. Tho, report wasadopted. \It was understood that tne Engineer

would attend to necessary repairs to thefootpaths opposite Mr. Judd's factory inUpper Willis-street and Mr. Godber'spremises in Cuba-street, and to the re-moving or breaking of heavy metal laidat the foot of Majoribanks-street." Accounts amounting to £11,359 16s 7dwere passed for payment

Councillor Izard intimated his intentionof asking for a return of the number ofdogs registered during the present year.

The Council went into Committee toconsider the reports of the Finance andStreet Widening Committees, and othermatters, the purport of which was notmade public.

EXPERIMENT IN FORESTRY

Among the matters that closely occu-pied tho attention of the Minister forJustice and Mines during his .Northerntour were the forestry operations in theKotorua, district, vhich, so far, are of apreliminary nature. The Government hasan exceedingly laJge misery, containingseveral millions of young trees, and hasalso at Wa'iotapu and in other jmrtspumtation reserves. Tiiere arc threestages in the iorcstation piocess, whichmay bo .--ummed up as nursery, planta-tion, and forest. The yearlings pass fromnursery toplantation, and in the saplingstage are finally transferred to their per-manent habitat. The principal work nowin hand is the fencing of the plantations,at which 24 prisoners are employed, andare considered to be working well. Thiswork is preliminary to the planting out jfrom the nursery, an operation that willbe under the direction of the Chief Forest-er, Mr. Matthews. Mr. Ivl'Gowan statesthat usfcful timber trees, such as havethriven in the poor lands of the locality■will be planted— for instance, the severalkinds of fir, larch, birch, and others.Experiments with ash and oak indicatethey are not suitable. It is hopedthat the effort to turn a valueless tractinto an asset will be entirely successful.This expanse of sand is at present givenover to wild hordes thai find some sortof a living in the stunted bush. If theforest can be introduced, and can in-duce regular rainfall and a solidified tuif,grass and an all-round fertility shouldquickly follow.

UNMENDED WAYS.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir— Allow me through the columns ofyour paper to draw tho attention of ourCity Fathers to the neglected stato of"a little feide street" in Newtown, notmany miles from the Post Oifice, viz.,Ferguson-street. Iam inlornied that thereason it is left in its present disgracefulstate is because it does not belong to theCouncil, who then, mayIa&k, collectsthe taxes, etc.? Whoever does so, would,Ipresume, do il when the weather isfine, for in wet weather one end is al-most impassable, and part of it is alwaysa swnmp

—a horrible pit for horses to get

in. Iwitnessed only this evening thehauling out of one poor, brute that hadgot bogged up to its stomach. Now, iftho elevated part was only levelled intotho swampy portion of the street, itwould be a vast improvement. With win-ter coming on it will not improve, andwe may have more than horses try un-successfully to fathom the mire.— 1 am,etc., WATERCRESS.

Dr. and Mrs. Kemp, since their returntoEngland from the Continent, hare beenresiding at 33, Alleyne-road, Duhvich.Iam glad to learn that Mrs. Kemp,who suffered lately from rather severeillness, is now almost entiiely restoredto health.

Professor and Mrs. Stewart.Macpher-son, who returned to England recentlyfrom their New Zealand tour say theyenjoyed their trip greatly. Professor

Macpherson appears to have formed ahigh opinion of the standard of inusicaileducation in the colony.

Mr. BendixHallenstein has been win-tering so far at Naples, but 1under-stand he intends to spend the remainderof the winter on the French Riviera',coming to London in the spring.

Mr. E. A. Christie, of Wellington, whoreturned from the Midlands last week,goes North almost immediately for a tourof about four weeks, after which he willreturn to London. He intends to 'leavein about two months on his return toNew Zealand.

'Captain Hume is at present in London.

On Wednesday he had to undergo oneof his examinations here.

Mr. T. F, Martin, City Solicitor ofWellington, sends to the Law Times anaccount of the colony's system of localgovernment.

Mr. F. Freeman Lloyd contributes aninteresting article on "Dogs in New

Zealand" to the curren)., number ofThje Field. Of the colony he says,"really one could dwell for weeks" on its■wonders.

Mr. E. Goddard, of Ne wZealand, has,been travelling for some time in theUnited States endeavouring to get takenup a patent for a new style of hairpin,has, Iam told, been successful inplacinghis invention very satisfactorily in NewYork. Iunderstand he will Veceive

royalties of 10 per cent, on all sales.At St. Peter's Church, Maidstone, the

wedding lately took place of Mr. HenryValder, of New Zealand, and Miss EllenGreen, youngest daughter of the laic Mr.John Barcha'n Green and of Mrs. Green,of Edintv "£. >iaidstonc. The ceremonywas p

'-i by the Rev. H. J.

Daniell, ab^i dd by the Rev. J. E. Sedg-wick.It is with regret that Ihave to record

the death of Mrs. Georgina Mellish, ofChrislchurch, New 'Zealand, widow ofthe late Mr.,George Lilly Mellish, ofthe 44th Regiment, and for many yearsStipendiary Magistrate of Christchurch,New Zealand. 'Ihear that Mr. Pegrim's bust of the

late Sir Harry Atkinson is likely to bean exceedingly good one. Mr. OnslowFord's bust of Sir George Grey also pro-trait.

Last week Mr. Reeves visited themises to be an exceptionally good por-studio of Mr. Williamson, at Esher, andwas shown the designs for the statue ofSir George Grey and also for the pedes-tal. Mr. Reeves describes the interviewas a verypleasant one.

Recent callers at the Agency-Generalinclude— Mr. A. Hathaway, of Master-ton; Mr. J. Mitchell, of Wanganui;Mr. J. Aylmer, of Masterton;Dr. A.

Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Parsons, of Wel-lington, and their daughters have re-mained in London during the winter.Iam sorry to say that Mrs. Parsonshas been ill with bronchitis, but she is,Iam glad to hear, making good progresstoward recovery now; all the familyhave found the winter very trying, somuch so, indeed, that they have decidednot to risk another winter in England.Acording to their present plans they willstay on for the summer and autumn and,then return to the colony before the'endof the year. Miss Phoebe Parsons hashad many engagements, all of whichshe Ifis fulfilled successfully; she is

THEPUBLIC LIBRARY.

INCREASED ACCOMMODATIONREQUIRED.

PROPOSAL TO RAISE THE RATE.

The following repoit, with referenceto the Free Public Library, was broughtdown by the Library Committee at lastnight's meeting of the City Council:

—The Committee has consideied the over-crowded .state of the Libraiy shelves inboth departments, and the general wantof accommodation, andhns aUo gone care-

fully into the question of finance, and, asa result of the deliberations of their se-parate meetings,has the following reportto make:— (l) In the Lending Librarynot only are all the shelvesfull, but seve-ral hundred volumes aie double-banked.There is no more room here for furthershelving. In the Reference Library, theieis no further room for books, and manylargo volumes are slacked on the floor.There is no sloreioom in connection withthe Library, but the lavatory is fittedup as a storeroom-for newspapers, and nofurther accommodation can be obtainedhere. The coalshed has beenpressed irtoservice as a storeroom,and much valuablematter here is undergoing a process nfrapid destruction. (ii) Owing partly tothe fact that there is no proper accommo-dation for clerical woik, and partly tothe fact that the greater part of' theChief Librarian's time is taken xm merelyin the duties of anattendant in the refe-rence libraiy, there is noproper alphabeti-cal or analytical catalogue of the booksin this department;but merely a roughbook-list, intended for merely temporary"use. There is a printed catalogue bf thebooks in the lending library up to April,1894, with supplements to December,1894, and December, 1895, andmanuscriptadditions of books since added;but owing

Ao the fact that the main catalogue was"issued seven years ago, the entries inthe various catalogues by no means re-present the present state of the lendinglibrary. Many books of ephemeral inte-rest havebeen worn out and not replaced.It is highly necessary that proper cata-logues should be prepared, in order thatthe library may be of the gieatest amountof use to tha citizens. In order thatthis may be done, it will be necessary torelieve the Chief Librarian of the dutiesof a meie attendant. (3) The unanimousopinion of the staff of the library is thatthe ladies' room is greatly abused;andthat it fulfils to a small extent itsostensible purpose. They think a tableor tables in the reference library setapart for ladies only will amply seive thepurpose of the few ladies whoat present'use ihc room as a genuine reading room.Room can be found for these by placingthe tables a littie closer together.

'£he committee therefoic recommends:— (1) That the ladies' room be convertedinto an office for the Chief Librarian, andba fitted with shelves, to act partly as astoreroom, and that, in lieu of the accom-modation at present provided, a table ortables be set apait for ladies only in thereference library. (2) That the most eco-nomical aiid the most usefu' cataloguebeing that known as i^e caid catalogue,apparatus for card catalogues for both de-partments be obtained, at a cost not ex-ceeding £70. A printedcatalogue of thereference library alone would cost at least£500. (3) That in order to set free theChief Librarian for the important workof cataloguing and other clerical work,an additional assistant be obtained foithe library. (4) That this be a male as-sistant, about 16 years of age, salary tobegin with to be 15s per week. (5)That the salary of Mr. J. E. F. Perry,second assistant librarian, be raised fioin£2 5s to £2 15s per week;and that thesalary of the relieving othcer be raisedfrom £2 to £2 8-. per v.cek. (6) That, inorder to meet the expense of equippingthe Newtown Branch Jjibrary, as weli asthe increased expense in connection withthe. Central Library, the library late beraised to its former amount of Id in thepound. This will put the finances of thelibrary on a sound footing, as shoM

Councillor Barber enquired what pro-vision was being made in the estimatesfor Newtown.

Councillor Evans— £3oo.Councillor Iz.ird objected to tue report

CITYCOUNCIL.*

The Council met last evening, the Ma-yor (Mr. J. G. W. Aitken> presiding, andall the Councillors being piesent.

A petition irom nime residents of Per-cival-street, asking that the thoroughfarebe taken over as a public street was re-ferred to the Streets Committee.In reference to a complaint as to the

state of the footpaths in Holleston-street,the unsatisfactory water supply, and badlighting, the two last-named matters werereferred to the Lighting Committee andEngineer respectively, and it was statedthat the footpaths were being put .inorder. tFour tenders received for engines andwater pipes for the improvement of thewater supply from Wainui-o-mata wereheld over for consideration at the nextmeeting.

Tho Works Committee recommended:— (1) That a further extension of sixmonths be granted to Mr. J. Saunders inrespect of the temporary building at Vic-toria-street, in order that Messrs. Stew-art and Co. may use it as a workshop;(2) that the request of Mr. F. J. Pinnyfor construction of steps at Upper Grass-street be not complied with, it being con-sidered that sucii steps would be danger-ous to traffic; (6) that the request ofMr. G. E. Godber for leave to erect anadditional house ior Mr. H. Wriglcy ona section of land at Hay-street be notagreed to;-(4) that a leply in terms ofthe opinion of the City Solicitor be sentto Messrs. Haigh and .Uorrah in respectto their letter on the subject of auc-tioneers' licenses. The report was adopted.

The following report was presented bythe City Reserves Committee:— (1) Thatthe assistant sextons be allowed half aday's wages when they arc called upon toattend a funeral on Sundays;(2) that theelectric light be laid on to the residenceof the custodian at the Karori Cemetery;(3) that Mr. A.

G.Iloar to Archibald Colquhoun;(5) thatthe roof of the shed itt the Basin Reservebelonging to the Cricket Association berepaired, it having been damaged by thecioud on the day of the display by thoImperial troops ; (6) that tho SceneryPieservalion Society be allowed to planttrees at three places on the Town Belt

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING.

WANTED — A FULLY EQUIPPEDPROFESSORSHIP.

The creation by the University Sen-ate of a new uegree of Bachelor ofScience in Electrical Engineering,, asannounced in a recent brief telegramirom Auckland, tlr<n\s pionuneut at-tention to a mobt impurltua dupaitmuntot applied science, a depaitineub vhichour xsew Zea.and system oi mbtructiondeals wuli only to a hampered and re-fctneted degree. Armed with, the tele-graphic announcement, a Post repre-sentative interviewed Professor Easter-iield, who holds the chair ot chemistryand physics at the Victoria UniversityCollege. sProiessor Ea.sterfield stated that un-til regulations were drawn up, or fur-ther information was given than thete.egram afforded, he did not knowwhat position the new degree would oc-cupy m relation to the other New Zea-land degrees of Bachelor of Science.There weio already degrees of B.Sc. inmining engineering, in mechani-cal engineering, in civil en-gineering, in metallurgical engineering,and in agriculture;and again there wasB.Sc. that simply called itself B.Sc.The last-named was the qualification asBachelor of Science in general, whilethe other3were special professional ex-aminations. He considered that the sub-division of the degree had already beencarried to an unnecessary and undesir-able extent. As a matter of nomencla-ture, the degree of B.Sc. could coverall the prolessional examinations de-tailed above, and each candidate shouldchooae the section— whether mechanical,or civil, or one of the others— in whichhe wished to qualify. If the subdivi-sion was enlarged, one might have aB.Sc. of locomotive construction, whichwas a branch of mechanical engineering,or of sewing machine construction, fiewelcomed the degree of B.Sc. in elec-trical engineering if it came as part of

"the present degree of mechanical en-gineering, but could not see the neces-sity or advisableness of cieating a- newand distinct degiee. The candidate forB.Sc. in mechanical engineering nowhad to pass through four sections., andalso to pick a, special subject out offour specialisations provided iv addi-tion; one of tho.se specialisations atpresent ■nas electrical engineering. If,instead of leaving it as a special sub-ject at the opiion of the candidate, theSenate now proposed to graft it into the

[compulsory course by making electricalengineering a fifth section under me-chanical engineering, he would welcomeaich a degree. He objected to thenaming of electrical engineering, whichbelonged to the scope 01 mechanical en-gineering, as a new degree.

Apart from subdivision as a matter ofnomenclature, Professor Easterfieldwould disapprove a new degree on an-other ground. Eleclric.il engineeringwas a thing that changed more rapidlythan any other department of appliedscience. 'It was well known that per-sons who had qualified in electrical en-gineering as lately as 1890, and whohad not since then remained in actualworking touch with its advances, hadbeen outpaced, and were not now fittedto lake important positions. Unless thestudent received a broad training ingeneral engineering as part of hiscourse, he would find himself unable tokeep pace with this rapid specialisation;and on that ground tho Professor wouldlike to sco electrical engineering madea fifth section of mechanical engineer-ing, to be covered with the same de-gree. If the creation of a separateB.Sc. in the electrical branch meant theintensifying of the electrical instructionat the cost of limiting the mechanicalengineering, tho results would be bad.Specialisation without the groundworkwould not do. A broad "base was-needed for such a rapidly changingsuperstructure.

Coming to the question of whatfacilities are now afforded to the NewZealand youth for instruction in elec-trical engineering and qualifying for degree therein, Professor Easlerfieldstated that the subject had received in jsufficient attention in the past. Christ-

'church was the only University Collegein the colony whei% provision vas madefor training in this branch. The ex-pense, and the number of students likelyto be obtained, would not justify otherUniver-ity Co.ieges in specialising inthe snme direction. The cost was suchthat the existence within the colony ofmore than one properly equipped trainIng institution for electrical engineer-ing was not justified. Itwould pay thoGovernment belter to itself find thefees of all students attending the Christ-church institution, than to equip each oftlie four centres with a chair 'of elec-trical engineering. Chrktchurch, hav-ing made a shirt, was entitled to theprofessorship, which, with its properequipment, would need the expenditureof some thousands of pounds. A professor and half a dozen lecturers wouldbe needed, and the idea that a stu-dent could qualify by attending half-time, or outside hi.-* working hours,must be knocked on the head— he wouldneed four or five years exclusive atten-tion to the course. The polytechnics ofGermany and Switzerland, and the besttechnical schools of Britain and Ameri-ca, really had a university course ;andthe Christchurch 'Electrical EngineeringChair, to come near the level, wouldneed an income at least equal to thepresent income of the Victoria College.

Professor Easterfield carefully pointedout that as there were no electrical en-gineering works in the colony of anymagnitude, it was impossible at presentfor students to obtain locally an effi-cient practical training;and until elec-trical works had been established, andtne demand thus arising had broughtforward a sufficient supply of studentsrequiring instruction, it would be pre-mature for more than one UniversityCollege in the colony to specialise inthis direction. He laid special stress ontho practical training. Even in insti-tutions with workshops attached, suchfurther training in the practical wasnecessary, and opportunity must betaken to get it., Those who attendedthe technical schools in Britain, Ger-many, and America, were in the habitof spending, on tho expiring of theircourse, several years in manufacturingworkshops so as to be thoroughly athomo in tlio practical half of theirbusiness. Now Zealand students wouldhave to do likewise, and after complet-ing their course at college, would haveto go outside the colony to completetheir equipment. Excellent as tho in-struction in the" theoretical side woulddoubtless be under the supervision ofProfessor Scott, of Christchurch, ourstudents would have to spend two orthree years in the electrical engineeringwoikshojjs of the older countries beforethey could hope to be regarded aapeople with a first-class training in thesubject, and all tho best moil wouldadopt that course. The necessity of going outside the technical "school and in->to the manufacturing workshop to com-plete the training was common to anysystem of engineering instruction,rither here or at home, and thereforedid not discount the value of the pre-iliminary woik that would bo done bythe Chair in New Zealand. And as thefiVd of electrical engineering in thiscolony expanded, and workshop- aro^e,the developments of time would removethe npre^i'v of going outside the colonyfor a practical course.

the urgent claims upon it. The truth isthat we tut' at le.ist a decade behindin our provision for the teaching of ap-plied electricity. Tho Government Lythe St'ite-aid system has made a. credit-able effort to .supply technical trainingin the scientific treatment of our min-eral resources, but, in proportion to theirrequirements, has done next to nothingto assist those who wish to specialisein the principles of the japplication ofelectricity to engineering—^admittedly oneof the most progressive and utilitarianbranches of modern science. Power,cheap and efficient, is the dominant fac-tor in mining as iv nearly every otherindustry, and electricity is undoubtedlythe key to the power of the future, ifnot itself the actual energy. It is tobe hoped that the creation of the newdegree, will not only be a stimulus tostruggling students, but that it will ap-peal to Ministers for recognition of thenecessity of providing a thorough systemof instruction in engineering, both me-chanical and electrical, by which thecolonial youth will be able to attain thenew honour.It is true, as Professor Easterfield

points out elsewhere, that there are atpresent in the colony no electrical en-gineering works of magnitude, such aswould create a scope for electrical en-gineers, attract students to supply thedemand, and afford those students apractical training within the colony. Butthis is not always to be the case,and this colony will shortly see markedenterprise in the electrical field. Shallour system make timely provision forthese developments, or allow them toovertake and outpace it? Given anega-tive answer to the latter alternative—also, admitting that the costliness of thescheme demands one concentrated effort,and that to specialise inseveral centreswould at present be diffused and wastedenergy—it remains for the Governmentto select its locality and give a mostdeserving project liberal support. Thepioneer claim of Christchurch, which isusing limited means with the maximumof effect, is of course to be noted. Evenif the need of practical training shouldcontinue to send our students to thegreat workshops in older lands, that isno reason why they should not receivein this colony an instruction correspond-ing to the technical course at Home.Opponents will no doubt say, "Wait tillindustry develops the profession and thedemand for students thereof." But it isalso true that the students may do muchto develop the industry. The presenceof professional talent amongst us will beinstrumental in 2>ronioting the opportuni-ties of industry and turning our peculiarconditions to advantage. Electricity asa motive power will inevitably, at anearly date, be in operation in the muni-cipal services of our principal cities;j-et,as the system spreads we shall have toimport our electrical engineers or sendour youth out of the country to qualify,unless State aid is forthcoming to fullyequip a chair of mechanical and elec-trical engineering within -New Zealand.Already the towns of this colony are,proportionately to size, ahead of thetowns of Great Britain in the use ofthe electric light and the telephone,main-ly because, being humbler bait, we havonot fallen so much into the hands ofhigh-charging syndicates and concession-aires. And the present useof electricityin this direction is but a shadow ofwhat it will be. Then, again, as a trans-mitter of power, electricity has in thiscountry, with its rivers and waterfalls,a boundless field. Water in its own out-ward form can exert energy only at orbelow its own level;that same energy,converted into electricity,'can be carriedeitherup hill or down a'mme—

anywhere,in fact, where the receiving motor can beplanted. Batteiy sites can be pickedwith more freedom;instead of the millhaving to go to the creek for drivingpower, the creek can be brought to themill. Electrical power will in futurecompete with' compressed air in under-ground workings, and with steam in allbranches of industry. Think of the in-dustrial possibilities of renting-out\power,in small or largo quantities, to privateconsumers, at so much per hour, withmotor thrown in. That is what is actu-ally being done in Colorado over a 70 or80 mile radius. The whole thing spellsrevolution, and if New Zealand is notto be left behind in the march of pro-gress, her people must know somethingof the power of the future.

THE PROGRESS OF THE SECONDWAR.

The blunder that was made last yearwhen Baden-Powell was ordered to with-draw from Oliphant's Nek at the veryhour when MelhueuT-after driving hismen and horses to a standstill— had DeWet apparently cornered, was repeatedat Liiiefontein on the 28th ult. TheBritish column on the spot that couldhave prevented the passage of the riverwas, at the very hour when it waswanted whereit was, peremptorilyorderedfrom headquarters eisewhere. Now "itis felt that greater initiative ought tobeallowed to British, commanders* on thespot." The world grows and the Britishpub.ic learns, but it is a slow process.De Wet wouldhave been in St. Helena ayear ago had his movements been dailydirected from headquarters— even suppos-ing he had been in constant touch withhis chief, and only nowis it beginningtobe realised that when he is capturedor broken it will be by an opponentoperating with like freedom. Kmit-zinger's men in the south-east of CapeCo.ony still show fight, their most recentdemonstration being against Aberdeen(140 miles north-west ot Port Elizabeth),which they occupied, but from whichthey were later repulsed withheavy loss.Kruitzinger, with his.personal command,has occupied Pearston, 40 miles west ofAberdeen, and against him De Lisle,with his Australians, is apparently mov-ing from the north-west with about 120miles of country to cross before he cancomeup with the enemy.

Kitchener is organising a great concen-tration of columns at JSpringfontein, onthe Orange Railway. This town is situ-ated about 37 miles northeast of whereDe Wet crossed the river, and the forcethere gathered is designed to sweep theOrange Colony, vhich means sweepingup Uertzog and De Wet. Already six.columns are in pursuit, and the Boersarc scattering into groups, which meansthat most ot them will get away. TheFlying Dutchman will never be caughtin the open until his pursuers are betterhorsed and as lightly equipped. Therainy season has overtaken French in theEastern Tiansvaal, and he is stuck up forforage. The Boer ponies feed on theveldt, and the Australians, if they wereallowed to, could keep their horses inthe same way, a9they do in their owncountry. An Au tralian, on the roadfrom Paardcberg to Bloemfontein withRoberts, suggested that the "cripples"should be herded out on the veldt as theaimy moved. The British officer incharge of the faggedhorses said, "My dearsir, it is impossible: they would runurnay and get lo&t !" Still they ought tohaA'O learned more by now. De la Reyhas taken the field again, and is evidentlymaking things hot for the Lichtenburggariisoi:— 500 sliong

—fov reinforcements

are being sent. Methuen, with the colo-nials, should not be far away. The callto arms in Eughind still is heard, sotheic is no slackening of effort there be-cause of allegednegotiations forpeace.

THE FINANCES OF THE COLONY.

The Hon. J. G. Ward, speaking at TeAwamutu on Weduesday evening, touchedon the finances of the colony, probably asa counterblast to the strictures of themember for JRiccarton, whose speech lastweek was referred to in this column. TheMinister for Railways told his audiencethat the revenue for tho eleven monthsended 28th February was £5,112,200, asagainst £4,859,700 for the correspondingperiod of the previous year, thus show-ing an increase of £252,50 U. These figuresare no doubt correct, but admit of a littleanalysis. The revenue for the ninemonths ended 31st December last, accord-ing to the quarterly returns published intho Gazette, amounted to £4,0fa6,200, sothat the revenue for January and Febru-ary totalled £1,026,000 j therefore tobring the quarters revenue up to thelevel of the March quarter of last yearthe receipts this month should amount to£529,400. Itis very likely that there willbe an expansionin tho receipts. For theeleven months, according to Mr. Ward,the revenueshows an increaseof £252,500,but of this amount £185,600 was realisedin the nine months, leaving £66,900 asthe increase for tho two months. Withthese figures we may construct an ap-proximate balance-sheet as under:

—Receipts.

Actual revenue 9 months ... £4,086,200Actual revenue January and

February 1,026,000Probable revenuein March... 563,400

£5,675,600Expenditure.

Actual for 9 months ... £4,294,100Probable for March quarter 1,080,500

5,374,600Year's surplus ... s« >"" 301,uu0

£5,675,6uuIf to the year's surplus is added the

£105,000 carried forward from la&t year,tho credit balance for the year wilLairount to £400,000 as stated by.Mr.Ward. There will, we think, be a creditbalance, but not quite as much as£300,000 as shown iv the statementabove, unless, of course, the amount;voted for the year are not expended infull. The charge against the Governmentis not that there will be a deficit thisyear, but that they are piling up theworking costs of government to such anabnormal extent that if irom any causethe revenue fails to reach its presentlevel there will inevitably be disappoint-ment and difficulty. Ministers very care-fully avoid alluding to the growth ofthe expenditure or to tho expansion ofthe public debt, but gleefully refer totheir accumulated credit balances, whichought not, under a proper system offinancing, to occur The danger aheadfor our finance is the possibility of ageneial f;\ll in prices affecting the reve-liiie. The credit of the. colony in the

1 London money market Mas also alluded

to by Mr. A>aid, but wo are not inclinedto believe that there is anything paitieu-larly remaikable in tliß

'We have dis-

charged our obligations to the Londoncapitalists punctually, and they have nooccasion to discredit the colony. If NewZealand's credit stood higher than thatof the other colonies there might be goodcause for gratulations, but New Zealand'sstocks stand relatively no better thanthose of most of the States of the Com-monwealth, notwithstanding that ourstocks are on the Trustee List and someof the others are not. The claim thatthere waa a plethora of money in NewZealand to-day such as had never beforeexisted in its history is beyond dispute,but it is questionable whether this is amatter for jubilation, nhy is it thatthis money is allowed to accumulate inbanks? Why do not the owners of itmake use of it? There are some mil-lions sterling lying to credit in the vari-ous banks which are not earning for theirowners any interest whatever. Why isthis? Is it because tho people of NewZealand are tired of maising money, oris it because many heretofore avenues forsafe and profitable investment arc nowdistrusted? Many witnesses before theFederation Commission stated that thiscolony would be a great manufacturingcountry, but if our capitalists are al-ready tired of mnking money or at mostprefer 4 per cent, municipal loans and 4-£per cent, mortgage securities, who is toundertake the work of developing ourindustrial resources?

THE LORDS ON ARMY ADMINIS-TRATION.

a.The war in South Africa has brought

to light serious deficiencies in the Britishmilitary system, particularly in the direc-tion of transport, armament, and mobi-lity. It is one of the weakpoints of thatsystem that it is difficult to fix responsi-bility for a break-down in any part ofthe machine, so that when disaster fol-lowed disaster in. the early part of thecampaign, public opinion wtis divided asto whetherblameshould be allotted to viedivisional leaders, the General command-ing, the Secretary for War, or the Com-mander-in-Chief. Eventually, however,the officers in the field fell out of therunning;it was generally recognisedthatthe fault lay in administration, and theMarquis of Lansdowne and Lord Wolseleycame in for a liberal share of abuse. Asense of relief was experienced when, lastDecember, Lord Lansdowne was trans-ferred from Pall Mall to the more conge-nial atmosphere of Downiug-street, and]when Lord Wolseley had to give his icharge into the stronger grasp of Lord

'Roberts. Itwas no secret that there hadbeen divided counsels at the War Office,and that both Lord Lansdo^ ne and LordWolseley were smarting under strictureswhich each considered undeserved. Itwas, therefore, fully expected that whenParliament met they would take theearliest opportunity to justify their con-duct. This expectation has not beendisappointed,and the calm serenity of iueHouse of Lords has just been ruffled bya brisk discussion on Army administra-tion.

The Duke of Bedford opened the de-bate, and howas replied to by Lord Rag-lan, Under-Secretary for War, but "Thesetwo were but aspawns in the game. Thereal contest began when Lord Wolseley,wholately completed his five yeais' tenureof office as Commander-in-Chief, rose anddelivered a careiully -prepared speech,which occupied an hour in delivery. Headvocated thetransfer of the supreme con-tiol of the Army from a civil SecretaryofState to a professional Commanderin-Chief. The efficiency of the army, hemaintained, had been sacrificed to thedemand for economy, and the Comman-der-in-Chief might suggest, recommend,and exhort, but thatwas all. He had noleal power to canyhis recommendationsinto effect. Had the demands of the ex-pert advisers of the War Office been com-plied with, the Field-Marshal declared,the Empire would have escaped manyterrible risks. The Marquis of Lans-downe, whose adminishation had beenchallenged, defended tho War Office, andcarried the war into his adversary'scamp. The failures in South Africa, hedeclared, were not the fault of the .sys-tem, but of not giving the system fulleffect. Lord Wolseley's proposals hadbean fitful and spasmodic, and he hadfailed to realise the importance of theduties entrusted to him. The Commander-in-Chief was responsible for the directcontrol andmobilisation of the Army, forutilising the volunteer forces, and for theIntelligence Department, and the nobleiMarquis implied that Lord Wolseley was'diiectly to blame for the failure to cor-rectly gauge the magnitude of the taskset the British "Generals in oouth Africa.

Other Ministers and ex-Ministers tookpart in the debate, but their remarksgenerally weie of less interest than thoseof the Marquis and the Field-Marshal.Lord Salisbury, however, made two ob-servations worthy of special note. Theresults of a system, hesaid, dependednoton the machine, but on the brilliancyand vigour of the men employed. Thistruthhas been strikingly exemplified dur-ing tho present war. Lord Roberts, forinstance, found the British Army a pon-derous and unwieldy machine, yet hemoved it with remarkable celerity, dealtthe Boer forces several crushing blows,and carried the British flag right throughthe enemy's country to the Portuguesefrontier. On the other hand, the Boerleaders, with ragged and undisciplinedhordes, have done feats of arms whichhave made their names famous. 'LordSalisbury aLo emphasised the fact thattheSecretary for War, acting on behalf ofParliament, must be supreme in the con-trol of the Army. This, he said, was abedrock circumstance of the Constitution,from which it was impossible to depart.Such a declaration, coming from a Con-seivative Prime Minister, must be hailedwith the liveliest satisfaction. It wouldindeedbe a fatalmistake tohand over thecontrol of the Army to an irresponsiblemi.itary dictator. The blunders of divid-ed administration, tho weakness of ourartillery, the disasters in the field, are nodoubt severely felt even by a flourishingand world-wide Empirelike our own, butthey are the price the peoplehave to payfor tho preservation of their politicalliberties. The price is heavy, but it istrifling compared with what they wouldhave to pay if they allowed the power ofthe sword topass from their own controland to become an engine for the enforce-ment of the will of unbridled despotism.

The railway woiking account, showi/igthe revenue and expenditure for thefour-weekly period ended 2nd February,is published in. the Gazette. The re-venue for tho period totalled £145,34314s 3d, of which £57,680 5s 6d was ob-tained from the ]Sorth Island railways,and £87,666 8s 9d from the South Is-land railways. The expenditure for thefour-weekly period amounted to£89,004 14s lid, of which £35,850 12-.8d is debited to the North If-knd, and£53,154 2s 3d to the South Island.Compared with the corresponding periodof last year, the revenue for the fourweeks exhibits an increase of £2028 53d, and the expenditure a decrease of£2285 3s 2d.

The cause of the somewhat slow piogress made with the Adelaide roadwidening scheme, was the subject ot en-quiry at last night's meeting of the Cit>Council by Councillors Winder andTownsend,

*who also desired to know

why it was not possible to begin attne Caledonian Hotel corner, which wasmost dangerous to vehicle traffic, andwhere several accidents had occurred.The Mayor and Councillor Barber(Chairman of the Street-widening Com-mittee) explained that thft land at thesouthern end had been easily acquired,and the work there \<as all straightfor-ward. At the lower end, while some ofthe property-owners had been fair andreasonable in their demands for compen-sation, others had been very unfairand unreasonable, and these were keep-ing the negotiations back. Where therewere a large number of claims to bedealt with progress was naturally slow,but Councillors were assured that thecommittee was pushing the matter for-ward with all possible speed.

For the 44 weeks ending 2nd Feb-ruary, the North Island railway revenueamounted to £529,895 14s 7d, of whirhthe Wellington-Napier-New Plymouthsection contributed £355.793 8s 2d, andtha expenditure totalled £374,408 13slOd, the Wellington section being de-bited with £256,135 12s 3d.

Objection was made by cab proprie-tors to the City Council last night tcthe continuance of the cab-stand ir

Cuba-street extension, where, so theycomplained, they were exposed to thefour winds of heaven, and tne existenceof tho stand was a source of danger totraffic. Councillor Winder proposed thaithe stand be abolished, and that threecabs instead of one, as at present,should be allowed to stand on the oldsite <^in Manners-street, opposite theRoyal Oak Hotel. Other Councillorsagreed that the stand in the town partof Cuba-street was a danger, and themotion was adopted.

A REPORTED GRANT TO JAPAN.[press association.]

(Received March 8, 9.30 a.m.)LONDON, 7th. Haicli.

Tlie Standard states that the Man-churian Convention between Russia andChina, has been finally signed. Mukdenis thus, outside the cognisance of theMinisters of the Powers in Pekin.

The Morning Post states that Russiahas annexed Kinch.au, 75 miles north-west of Niuchwang, claimed all industrialconcessions in Mongolia, as far as Kash-gar and Turkestan, and insists on build-ing the Manchuria-Pekin railway.

The fact of Japan having mentionedthat she required an equivalent for theconcessions granted to Russia, coupledwith the withdrawal of her troops fromChina, is interpreted as meaning thatshe is receiving the province of Fokien,the maritime province in South Chinain which the treaty port of Foochow issituated.

Britain has advisedChina to defer rati-fication of the Manchurian agreementand consult the Powers.

Whilegreat attention has been paid to theimportant question of safety, the fur-nishing of the vessel leaves nothing tcbe desired. No hotel in London is moresumptuous than the. Ophir. TheDuchess's drawing-room occupies 120Csquare feet in the forepart of the vessel.Every panel in the room that is notcovered by a picture is a work of artin itself, being of inlaid marqueterie.lhe upholstery is blue stamped velvet,and the carpet a rich pile.

THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH ONTHE TALUNE.

DETAILS IN CONNECTION WITHTHE CASE.

[PHEBS ASSOCIATION.]SYDNEY, 7th March.

A stewardess and fireman of theTaluneare coming to Sydney by the Mokoiato give evidence in connection with thedeath of P. Conway, who died on boardthe Talune while on the passage fromWellington to Sydney. As the Talunewill also arrive at Melbourne on Sunday,probably some more of the crew willcome over to give evidence.

The woman Smith, who is in custody,is the wife of Percy Smith, residing inthe vicinity of Dunedin.

She made a statement to the policedenying the charge, and also told themshe was going to travel round the worldwith a lady and gentleman whose littkdaughter &he hadrescued from drowning.It is believed, howevei, that since shecame to Sydney she sought employmentas a barmaid.

The police are in possession of infor-mation from New Zealand which al-leges the following facts:

—Percy Smith

owed Conway £200, for which the latterheld a promissory note and the titledeeds of Smith's property. Conway andMrs. Smith left Dunedki about the endof January, and shortly afterwards wentto, Christchurch. While there Conwaymade a statement to the police to theeffect that he was at a wateringplacewith a woman, and had a promissorynote and the deeds of Smith's propertywith him. He had drink, and becameunconscious. When he recovered hefound the documents gone, and reportedthe matter to the police, but the docu-ments were not recovered.

This was about a week before he leftby the Talune, on which Mrs. Smith waaa saloon passenger. During the voyageConway and Mrs. Smith were frequentlyseen sitting together on the h-itchwayshortly before Conway was taken ill.

A Christchurch chemist is en loute toSydney to give evidence. / He a\;>s givena description of ilrs. Smith, and declaresthat it tallies with the woman towhom he sold two lots of strychnine inFebruary.

When Conway died there was no sus-picion of anything being wronc;. Thebody was sev.n up for burial, but thecnpUin decided to Jvini; it cm to Syd-ney. Ail oflWr took pov -dm of a- ds,e"hd -;i) CmM;>>"- 1,-1.> /in "-.

Staff Sergl.-Major Tuck has taken overStaff Sergt.-Major M'Donald's work asdrill instructor. Lieut. Davies is in-structing in mounted work.

Three sections of troopers were takenout to Lyell Bay yesterday, and exer-cised on the beach. There are now about130 horses in the lines, and there is afull equipment of saddles. Nearly allthe horses were mounted again thismorning, when the troop went out toMiramar for further mounted work.

The change of life and diet has appar-ently affected some of1 the men who havejoined the Contingent, for Dr. Burns,had no less than16 patients onhis handslast night. The majority» of these aresuffering from dysentery.

The Defence Office has been rushedwith applicants siuce it was announcedthat the strength of tlie Seventh was tobe increased from 300 to 500. Thosemen whose applications were receivedtoo late for them to get a place in the300 are getting the preference now thatthe additional force has been agreedupon. Men are finding their Aray intocamp now everyday, and at all hours ofthe day, so that the 500 will quickly bemade up.

A legal difficulty, awkward and notaltogether amusing, though having itsfunny side, has cropped up in camp. Itappears that whilst the Sixth Contingentwas at the Park a hawker did goodbusiness in the sale of nicknacks. Onthe arrival of the Cornwall in Australiasome of the purchasers sent back wordto their friends finding fault with theiracquisitions. It was thereupon decidedthat the hawker should be kept oufsidethe lines of the Seventh. But here theyreckoned without their man, for thehawker has defied them to put him out.He told those who endeavoured to stophim this morning that he could not beprevented from going into camp, asNew-town Park was a public place, and hecould go in and out as he pleased. Hefurther produced a legal opinion, ob-tained from a local lawyer, which sup-ported his contention. Being in doubt,the camp officer consulted a policeman,who, like a wise man, said he wouldtake time to consider the andin the meantime would caution thehawker to "be careful in future. Devel-opments are awaited with interest.

The Defence Department states thatit has received a sufficient number ofapplications for inclusion in the SeventhContingent.

GISBORNE, 7th March.Gisborne has been allowed five addi-

tional members of the Seventh Contin-gent, and those selected by MajorM'Credie are E. Partridge, John Taylor,J. R. Parker, J. A. Bruce, and T. W.Martin. Some of these men rode about80 miles to try and get selected for thefirst batch, but arrived too late.

OUR CAPE LETTER.TRADE WITH NEW ZEALAND.

THE MURDER OF A PEACE EN-VOY.

(From our Own Correspondent).CAPETOWN, 4th February.

The subject of the projected directline of steamers between New Zealandand the Cape has been dealt with inthe Cape Times. That journal does not,apparently, think the ulne exactly ripefor such a project if it is to dependentirely on New- Zealand produce tosupport it— a pessimestie view that Ido not share. The writer jof the sub-leader devoted to the question has fal-len under the difficulty generally ex-perienced here in discriminating betweenAustralian and New Zealand produceshipped here,' because the vendors ofthe several imported items label theirgoods from both countries as Australian,it was this very question which promp-ted me in the belief that to secure itsfair share of trade New Zealand shouldbe directly representedby opening storesfor the sale of its own goods;and thesuggestion to that end is one whichshould be given very careful considera-tion by your producers.

The energy of New Zealand and theAustralian Commonwealth in sending

further detachments of men here, verynaturally increases the obligations of thiscountry. The men from both have beenfuhy recognised as having done the mostserviceable work throughout the longcampaign;yet there is every probabilitythat the fresh contingents will be intime to see service, although it may beservice of a different kind. Still, ■what-ever the service, the time they spendhere will not be wasted, for they willhave the opportunity of seeing muchmore of the country than could havebeen seen under more peaceful circum-stances. And while those vrho returnwill do so lull of information gainedfirst-hand, there is a possibility of manyremaining to help along the reopening,for which they are particularly suited.

Since my last dispatch, we have hadmuch to engage our attention in thefighting progressing throughout theseveral colonies notwithstanding thefact that much is being kept from us.The latest phase, and one not entirelyunexpected, is lhat the Boers in theTransvaal have turned their attentionto the de&truction of mine property.They* have disabled the electric lightworks, and recently have wreckedseveralmills. The Modderfontein plant, of 6Cstamps, and the Van Ryn of 160stamps,were destroyed on the 29th January, a*well as some houses on the East RandProprietary Company's property. ThisAvill hinder the resumption of work inJohannesburg, but it is not anticipated jthat much further damage will be done,Ia corps having been specially formedifrom the relugees to protect the mines.1 In connection with the murder of thepeace delegate Morgendaal, the follow-ing official account has been received bythe military Governor at Bloemfontciii |from the Kroonstad District Commis- jsioner:— "Have evidence of Gerhardus'Muller, who was present -«hen MorgcnVdaal was shot. He states that Morgendaal Aias never tried by the BoerCourt. Froncman Hogged Morgendaalfirst in a most cruel way with a sjam-bok across the face and head, andthreatened to shoot him. Dc Wet cal-led .out. "

Shoot the b ," and Frone-man promptly !>hot Morgsnhaal. Theevidence appears only too clear. Ihavethe statement of an eye-witness, Muller,who was only ten yards away all thetime, and that of Mr.--. Morgendaal, Mhoreceived the death-bed statement of herhusband, which confirms JUuller's bialemeat, and a letter from a doctor wheheard the story from others. Andrie?Wc»seU, who went with ilorgcndaal, isstill alive. His evidence, when obtain-able, will be of value. The case is oneof a cowardly murder of a British sub-ject, and Justice of the Peace, '.vho-i-adtaken the oath of allegiance and wa?under the white flag. No doubt, later,plenty of confirmatory evidence will beforthcoming.

On 25th January the Boers captureda goods train at Slypklip, just beyondKimbcrley, after having capture l" themilitary post, which consisted of 20of the Dublin Fusiliers. The fireman,named Smith, managed to get awr.y andstop the train following behind, but hi?own train which consisted of a numbei \

THE EVENING POST. FRIDAY. MARCH 8. 1901.of trucks laden with cattle and j-toie<!,was looted partially and then luineu.The cattle, about 75 head, were the pro-peity of Mr. Rhodes, of which ilieBoers were aware,as at a iaiin house atwhich they stopped, they announcedthe fad. They took little away withthem beyond the cattle, as they had notransport. The engine-driver waswounded in the shoulder, and was sentback to Warrenton in. the company of acouple,of wounded soldiers. There are83 bullet marks on the engine. Tiieforegoing was allowed to pass the cen-sur, butIlearn on good authority thattwoother trains were captured by Boenin the same week, although this has no.been reported to the piess. (Our cor-respondent a'so sends details of the do-ings of the Boer invaders in Caj cColony, but the interest in this pait u<his letter has been discounted by tl.ccabled accounts.)It has transpired that Theron, thoBoer Commandant, about whom their

wa« some doubt as to -his being killrdsome, time back, was killed by a 4.7shell which caught him full in 'the facewhile he was watching, our troops at-tacking his position. Oh account ofhi?injuries To was difficult to identify thebody, hence the mystery. which for somedays surrounded hty'F;Qeatli. As asolicitor at Kruger&aorp, he was well-known on the Rand, and there is nownot much doubt that it was his smallcolumn which stuck up many of thetrains credited to the slim De'Wet.Since the official report was madeanent the shooting of Morgendaal, ithasbeenannounced fiat Andiics Wcssels,who accompanied him on his mission,was also shot by De Wet's orders.

SLANDERS WITHDRAWN.One by one (says the Army and Navy

Gazette) the miserable aspersions passedby irresponsible critics upon the Britishofficer are being convincingly refuted. Thechief and most noticeable of all is theabject apology made by Lord Rosslyn.It is impossible to believe that he wouldthus have climbed down uut for the verypositive contradiction published by Lord1Roberts. . . . Another calumniator,Mr. A. G. Hales, has also seen fit towithdraw bis aspersions, which he en-deavoured to do at the dinnergiven by the Anglo-Africa WritersClub. He does it very lamely,and no worder, for it was not easy togo back upon such charges as he levelledagainst our officers. We shall not followhim' further than to assert that they wereungenerous, ill-timed, and, for the mostpart, absolutely contrary to fact. It isidle to conjecture "what fly had stung"Mr. Hales, to use a French expression,when he enlarged so bitterly upon theincompetence, the unjustifiable swagger,the hee-haw manner, the lisp, and theeye-glasses, which are among a few ofthe most glaring defects in the picturehe drew. Itis enoughnow to accept Mr.Hales's later view that there was no manliving who more honoured the Britishofficer or his bearing in the presence ofa foe than did he. It was at this samedinner thatLordRosslyn appears tohavebeen first brought to acknowledge theerror of his ways.

LORD ROBERTS AND THE WAR.Before Lord Roberts crossed the So-

lent on his return to England, theMayor of Portsmouth, Alderman Em-anuel, had an interview with him, in thehope of fixing a date for His Lordshipto receive the sword of honour sub-scribed for by thepeople of Portsmouth.In reply, Lord Roberts expressed his"very strong feeling that it wouldbe more suitable to postpone public en-tertainments until affairs in SouthAfrica are more settled and we can seethe end of the war, which is still beingcarried on in that unhappy country, awar resulting in daily loss of life to oursoldiers and fresh bereavements to theirfamilies at home. Itis most distasteful(he added) to be honoured, feted, andcalled upon to rejoice while so manypeople are in bitter grief, and beforewe can properly return thanks for thecloud being rolled away which has formore than a year darkened the homesand crushed the hearts of bo manypeople of this country."

Professor Watson Cheyne, late surgeonto Lord Roberts's Staff in South Africa,in the course of a lecture recently,caused much merriment by describingthe various methods resorted to by thosoldier in mending his own raggedclothes. He remembered how on one oc-casion a Tommy on the march was go-ing about in a deplorr^ly tattered state,and in order to make lmnself respectablehe conceived the idea of utilising asquare out of a biscuit tin. He madein this four holes, and with the aid ofstring fastened it on his trousers. When,added the Professor, that man wasmarching up the hills he resembled aheliograph on two legs.

Lieutenant John Shearer, of the H.L.1., now at the front, writing atChristmas to his father, Bailie Shearer,Glasgow, says:

—"Last week four of

the officers who were taken at Dewets-dorp (one of them a second lieutenant inthe H.L.1.) escaped from De Wet ue.u-Reddersburg and joined us. They allsay De Wet is a perfect beast, andtreated them and the men very badly,using the sjambok to them. One manhe struck over the face, nipping theflesh out. One day they trekked over20 hours without stopping. They sayhe trekked an average> of 16 hours aday. No. wonder he always managesto get away from us, as we think nedo well if we do seven or eight hours."

A lady who has published a diary ofher experiencesat Jacobsdal during thefighting there says:

— "It is amusing tosee what an inicrc.st the Dutch girlstake in the British wounded. Theyare causing quite a jealousy among theirown people, who say they are not get-ting so much attention from the girlssince the

'oudc Rooineks' were brought

into hospital. The women are full ofcompassion for the Highlanders who werebrought in after Magersfontein. 'Poorthings,' they said, 'they are so poorthat they can't afford to buy trousers.1

"The writing desk cabinet which wta

obtained by the residents of Blenheimto be presented to Lieut.-General Baden-Powell in commemoration of the defenceof Mafekmg will be sent to South Africnby tho troopship conveying the SeventhContingent. TTie cabinet is a handsomepiece of work, and is constructed en-tirely of New Zealand woods.

The remedy forthis, it was .submitted, was "the intro-duction of the political or party elementand the exercising of the power conferredia tho vote."

According to a judgment of Dr.aVArthur, S.M., delivered this morning,a. person may ride a bicycle along thefootpath of a private street with im-punity and without fear of punishmentbythe present law. The point arose in thecase in which Miss Harcourt was re-cently summoned by the police undersection b of the Police Offences Act forhaving cycled along the footpath inHawkeatonecrescent to the danger ofpersons using the path. For the defenceMr. Ollivier contended (1) that a bicjrelewas not a carriage within the meaningof the Act, and (2) that the footpath inquestion was not apublic footpath, inas-much as Hawkestone-crescent and ad-joining property originally belonged toMr. Harcourt, who made the street as anapproach to his own re-idence and toproperties which, he had sold. It hadneverbeen takenover by the Corporation,and consequently still remained aprivatestreet. Dr. M'Arthur held as regards thefirst contention that the expressions inthe Act were enough to include abicycle;but with respect to the other pointhedecided that Hawkestone-crescent cannotcome under the definition of "street" or"public highway," but is aprivate street.The information was accordingly dis-missed.

Owing to the diversity of opinion.whichexists as to the ii'.umn^ ol ;i colonials-eale of teachers' salaries, the Cabinethas decided to pet up a Hoy;il Commis-sion to iepoi'l upon the que^aon of deal-ing with the matter permanently.

The Commission is to consist of livemembers, who -will be rcpicsventative otthe Boards of Kducaiion, the teacher.>,the Lioveiiimem,and the Legi-slatme.

THE ROYAL VISIT.RECEPTION ARRANGEMENTS.

The Cabinet is anxious that the ar-rangements in connection with the vi'itof the Duke and Duchess of Cornwallshould be as complete as possible, and ithas selected Mr. John Holmes, the well-known Wellington merchant, to attendto all mutters pertaining to their RoyalHighnesses' tour of the colony. It ispiobable that the Government will al«oappoint a commission in each of thefour centres to carryout the local recep-tions, thti^, following the precedent s>etwhen the Dvhc of Edinburgh came to thecolony in 1869. Ministers recognise thatin order to make the various receptionsthoroughly successful it will probably benece&saiy for the City Councils to expenda good deal of money, and it is likelythat legislation will lie introduced tocover the extra expenditure which thosebodies my lincl it nece&saiy to incur inconnection with the vi-il."

LABOUR TROUBLES IN THENORTH.

[by telegram—

rniiss association,iAUCKLAND, 7tli March.

The miners at Karangahake laihvaytunuelare yet out on strike. Mr.JacksonPalmer, M.H.8., interviewed them thismorning. They wiicl tlie Governmenttermswould not give them a living wage, andthey would not accept them;they would hewilling to have a fair price fixed by anythree competentmine managers or work at8sper day for onemouth, and then fix a co-operativeprice on the basis ol that amountof « ork.

Messrs. Tregear, Secretary of theLabourDepartment,and jack.'on rainier, M.11.R.,interviewed Mr. 11. l\ Harry,Superinten-dent of the Waihi Goldnrining Company,requesting the reinstatement of the menrecently dismis.sed. Mr. Uarry would notreinstate tliom, saying that it wastheir ownfault,as they wereunsuitable. Mr. Palmer (pointed out that it wa« singular Mice parti-cular men, the executive ol" the union andold hands, should be singled out lor dis-missal. Mr.Usirry repliel that theycreatedstrife amongst their fellow-workmen, liewould not alter his decision.

This Day. |The result of Mr. Tiegear's intemew!with Mr. Barry at Waihi is that ihc \latter has acrreed to reinstate ail the man,dismissed iiom the mine since the pie-.sentation of the Union demands as M.on ,as they drop the matter m di'-pute.Molloy. Secretary of tlie Union, and 'Druimii will be leiustnled ioilhwilh «Vi i»ii> ito Air. Ticge.ir's psiouai assurance thai,they took no active p.ut against the !company. This acknowledges Ihs nn- ]porlanl principle that official-; ot unions !aie not to be singled out for pie^enluiga claim. These concessions may lesullin satisfactory solutions of the difficultywhen the ballot of the union is takeSnext Saturday.

Cable advices leceived by the Pre-mier from a large investor in Londonshow that the trouble between theWaihi Company and some of its em-ployees has caused an uneasy feeling inmining circles in that city, owing totlie feai t^at further comp.ications mnyoccur.

Another cablegram received by thePremier slates that the market value ofWaihi Company's shares has dropped£3, representing about £1,000,000, ow-ing to the receipt irom. New Zealandof news of the difficulty between themanager and the Miners' Union. Mr.Seddon is hopeful that labour matter"at Waihi will be satisfactorily adjustedat an early date, and our telegraphicnews to-day shows that some progresstowards- settlement has already beenmade.

During the discussion on the report theRey.'T. G. Brooke said the unsatisfactoryposition of the lund was due to the factthat circuit ministers had 'not done theirdui,y. If attention hadbeen paid to thedetails of the movement at the beginning— rif, those in charge had taken care, whenthe!movement

'wa^ sornewhat enthusias-

tic, toorganise their committees and can-▼usb their circuits man by man, the fundwould have been in a more satisfactoryposition thanit was atpresent.' The Rev. Dr. Mor.ey pointed out thatonly about 6500 persons had contributed.There were about 16,000 families in the.Methodist Church, and it therefore meantthat only one in every ten of iheir ad-herents had yet risen to the privilege oftrying to help this fund. The figuresshowed that a canvass had not beencarried out, and some arrangement mustbe made to get the canvass completed.He hoped the Conference ,would adoptclause 2 of the committee's report, so asto aive some stimulus to circuit ministersand committees whohad not carried outtheir work in the past. If that wasdone the fund could easily be raised to£25,000.

The Rev. J. S Smalley considered theyhad everycause to be thankful for theresult attained. They hadraised a verylarge amount indeed— something like 5sper adherent and nearly £1 10s per mem-ber. England raised 6s 4d per adherentand £1 18s per member. Inview of themany claims recently made, he consideredtheir peoplehadmade great sacrifices.

Mr. Blackwell said the movement inEngland was not analogous to that inNew Zealand. The effort here was simplyconfined to paying off exi-ting liabilities,but in England they were in addition, ina number of the large centres, carryingout magnificent schemes of church build-ing. Some of the people here had donenobly, but there were many— the major-ity, he might say

— of the circuits thathad not done what they should do..Mr. Evans urged that the Conference

should not in any way throw cold wateron the effort. If it was properly organ-ised and a sufficient amount of enthusiasmwas evoked, he felt sine the movementwould ina year's time prove a great suc-cess.

The Rev. J. S. Smalley moved to de-lete from the committee's report the sen-tence, "The committee can only expressdisappointment and dissatisfaction withthis result."

This was carried by 49 votes to 36.The remainder of the committee's re-

port was adopted without alteration, andtheNvarious recommendations"were agreedto.

The Conference at 9.40 adjourneduntill9.15 thfc morning.

FOOTBALL.

The report of the Secretary of theWellington Football Club, to be pre-sented afc the annual general meetingthis evening, states the total number ofmembers on the roll to be 163, viz., 92active, 40 honorary, 22 life, and 9 re-tired. The cub has a credit-balanceof £5 9s Bd, and the assets are set downat £71 11s Bd, whilhfc the1 liabilitiesare nil. Regret is expressedat the lossof Mr. John Moeller, of the SecondContingent, who succumbed to fever inSouth Africa. Thanks are given toMessrs. A. T. Bate, J. P. Firth, N.Galbraith, H. Arndt, and H. T. ivCar-dell for donations, and also to tho^e pastcaptains of the club who forwardedtheir photographs to the committee.There are still some who have not yetresponded. Messrs. Gallagher, Brodie,Meredith, Wood, lilanson, and Leversedge represented the union in theSenior Intel-provincial matches, andMessrs. Scanlon, Hulmc, and Miller inthe Juniors. In the senior representa-tive matches the club's members wereresponsible for 47 points out of 66points, M. Wood being credited withnine tries. The fir&t fifteen showed avast improvement on pa-fc seasons. Al-though the number of matches won, outof ten played, was only three, the teamat the end of the season was consideredone of the hardest to beat in the com-petition;points for, 48; against, 95.The second fifteen was inconsistent part-ly owing to the number of players who■were disabled, etc. Its record was

—matches played, 10;won, 5;lost, 5;points for, 107;against, 57. The do-ings of the third fifteen cannot be con-sidered satisfactory as it only won twomatches out of 8 played; points for,30;against, 57.

The committee of the Oriental Foot-ball Club, in its annual report, con-gratulates members on their success dur-ing the year, a decided improvement be-ing noticeable in the recoids. The clubis in a sound financial position, with agood credit balance. The first fifteenplayed 11 matches, winning 3, losing fa,and drawing 2, white as to one matchagainst Poneue a protest to the NewZealand Union is yet undecided;pointsfor, o7;against, 45. The second fifteenplayed 9 "matches, winning 6, Icing 2,and drawing 1;points for, 65 ;against,36. The third fifteen played 9matches,winning 4, losing 4, and drawing 1;points for, 94;against, 48. The fourthfifteen played 10 matches, winning 6(3 by default), and losing 4 (one by de-fault);points for, 28;against, 19. Thefirst gfteen performed very creditablythroughout the reason, and the secondfifteen were runners-up for the JuniorCup. The club has ten representativesin the contingents in South Africa. Thecommittee regrets to record the death ofMr. M. K. Samuel, one of the club'svice-Presidents, aho the ,deaths fromfever in South Africa, of Messrs. Moel-ler and Broome, both of whom wereprominent members of the club forseveral years. The club wns represen-ted in senior representative mai^hcs durins; the season by Messrs. C.

WESLSEYAN CONFERENCE.YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

At yesterday's ministerial session avote of 1hanks was passed to the ex-l'resident (Rev. J. S. Smalley) for hisordination charge.It was decided that a change be ef-

fected between Rev. F. B. Oldhani, nowstationed at Gisborne, and Rev. T.Trestrail, of Port Augusta, South Aus-tralia.

The following candidates for the min-istry were examined and passed satis-factorily:

—Messrs. C. E. Goodbehere and

B. J. James, who were received for train-ing at the Prince Albert College, Auck-hnd; Messrs. A. M'Bean, A. C. Ran-derson, and A. J. Reed, to be placed onthe President's reserve list.

A representative session was held inthe afternoon.

A proposal that Stratford circuit bedivided was rejected, but it was decide,dthat a home missionary be appointed,to reside at Eltham.

The Rev. J. Dukes, in the absence ofthe Rev. S. F. Prior, informed tho Con-ference that Mr. Jas Stuckey, of Rangi-tiunau, Masterton, had built a commodi-ous and beautiful church for the settlersresident in the locality, to be used by'theAnglican and Wesleyan Churches.

THE MINISTERS' ASOCIATION.A deputation from the Ministers' Asso-

ciation waited on the Conference and $asheartily welcomed by the President.

The Rev. C. A. 'Dalkston (Baptist)conveyed greetings from the Associationand. congratulations on the good workthe Conference was doing. He also con-gratulated the Conference on its selec-tion of a President of whose good workhe had had personal experience, andexpressed his pleasure at the work beingdone by the Wesleyan Methodists inNewZealand.

The Rev. W. Shirer (Presbyterian),who is secretary of the Association, re-ferred to the great work that can beand is being done by a combination oftho churches, both in resisting sacerdo-talism and in getting hold of those out-side all churches.

The Rev. J. R. Glasson (CongregationalChurch) said they all rejoiced that thevarious Methodist chinches were drawingcloser together, and were likely at no,very distant date to .form one greatMethodist Union. They ought, heurged,to seize every opportunity of manifestingtheir unity in the face of the evils theyhad to contend against, and instead ofemphasising the things in which "heydriferod should emphasise the things

in which they were one.The Rev.J.Dawson (Primitive Method-

ist) ateo referred to the question ofunity of the churches, andremarked thatthe union of the Methodist Churches inSouth Australia had giveD them a verystriking object lesson. He Avas lookingforward with considerable expectation

'to the day when there would be oneMethodist Church for. all Australasia.The sooner that was done the soonerwould they be able toestablish righteous-ness on earth andpresent a united frontto the powers of evil.

The Rev. J. N. Buttle, replying onbe-hnlf o.f the Conference, said it seemedthat tho spirit of union prevailed at thisgathering. What had already been donein the way of union by the PresbyterianChurches should'encourage the MethodistChurches to still continue to do whatthey could to bring about a completeunion of the Methodist Churches in thiscolony.

Mr. W. Harding replied on behalf ofthe laymen of the Conference, and thedeputation having been briefly thankedby tho President for the kind wishesexpressed, the Doxology was sung, andthis portion of the proceedings terminatedwith prayer and the Benediction.

CENTURY COMMEMORATIONFUND.

The report of the General Committeeon the Century Commemoration Fundwas considered at the evening session.The report stated:— The total amountreported as having been promised up to28th January is £16,568 14s 6d, of whichsum £10,064 14s 6d has been receivedby tho General Treasurers. The Com-mittee can only express disappointmentand dissatisfaction with this result. Intoo many circuits there has been an al-most complete lack of organisation andscarcely any attempt at per.-onal canvass,and the Committee is confident that thevcomparative failure of the effort is large-*ly due to this. The Conference, by itsresolution of last year, altered the origi-nal basis of the fund by permitting dis-tinct allocation to Church Trusts andother objects. The result of this willprobably be that more than two-thirdsof the subscriptions 'will be allocated totru-it objects, andby far the larger moietyto trusts that are in comparatively easycircumstances. The committee, beingaware that there are trusts the conditionof which is serious, and which must havehelp in some form from the Connexion,and also that there are other cases wherehelp from this fund will greatly aidconn.exional workingin the future, recom-mends that the Conference give assistancefrom the unallocated portion of the fundas follows:— (a) A sum of £250 (lessamount allocated) to the Home MissionFuudto repay a similar amount borrowedby the committee on account of a pro-mise from this fund. This to be a first;charge, (b) Napier, £240, and Pitt and

, Vincent street, Auckland, £168 15s (lessallocation in each case) to pay debts leftafter sale of U.M.F. Churches, (c) Gis-borne, £200 (including amounts allocated)with recommendation to Loan FundCommittee to rearrange balance of loan.(d) Lower High-street, Christchurch S.,£260 (including amounts allocated),amount now owing on notes of hand.(c) Woodville, £50, towards the furtherreduction of debt, (f) Arrowtown, -£5O,towards reduction of debt, (g) LittleRiver, £70, on condition that theyraise an additional £30. (h) Taura-nga, Pahiatua, and Riverton, £100 each;Eketahunaand M,ilvcrn, £75 each j Hastings, Oxford, and Inglewood, £50 eachtowards purchase or erection of parson-age.

Th,e;committee further recommended:-(1.) lhat the fund be not closed till theConference of 1902, and that the personal?onV

MnS in each circuit be completed.US.) lhat no agent bo specially set apart,but that Conierence be recommendedseriously to consider the neces-ity ofmaking arrangements withsuitable minis.-teis and laymen for the further prosecu-tion of the work during the year,and thecompletion of the canvavs in each cir-cuit. (3.) That a General Committee beappointed, and also District Committees,

and that the General Committee arrangewith tho District Committees the neces-sary details of the year's woik. (4.) Thatsubscribers desiring to allocate promisesalready made must do so before 30thJune next, after which time promises un-allocated will be heated as belonging tothe General Fund; and^that subsequentcontributors who intend allocating theirsubscriptions be requested to do so atthe time of making their promises. (5.)That as early as practicable in this firstyear of the new century arrangements bemade for holding evangelistic services inall our circuits for the purpose of quick-ening the spiritual life of our membersand securing decision for Christ on thepart of the unconverled. (6.) That thefollowing constitute the General Com-mittee:—Revs. \V. Morley, D.D., theSuperintendents of the Christchurch andKaiapoi Circuits, C. H. Laws, 8.A., andMessrs. G. H. Blackwell, W.
