PANAMA CANAL.APPROACHING COMPLETION.
THE QUESTION OF 3UNAGEMENT.(rBOU 07*5 "OWN COBKKSI.O_~.X_fT-7
SAN FRANCISCO, July 26Detertnination ol the. method of ad-
ministration of the Panama Canal alterits completion is assuming shape as oneof the big issues facing the American.Government. Within two years thebuilding of the waterway will have 1*tncompleted, and it will then be possibleto transport vessels fromocean to ocean.This is definitely promised by ColonelGeorge W. Goethahj, tlie army engineerwho is in absolute charge of tho work,and anything this able official has here-tofore promised has been realised. Tbedate for tho offici.il opening of thecanal is, however, January Ist, 1915.In the meanwhile the important ques-tion of tolls has to be decided; alsi.whether tbo Panama Zone shall beunder a. one-man administration orplaced under tho supervision of a com-mission, whether United States shippingshall bo permitted to use the canal freeof tolls or otherwise given an advant-age over the shipping of the rest of thoworld, and whether the American Go-vernment-will enter into the businessenterprise of sup-plying shipping withcoal food, repair facilities, etc., to theexclusion of private persons or corpora-tions.
To these and other problems tho Tafr,Administration is now giving consider-able thought and time. ColonelGoethals, who by general consent is theman entitled to more credit than anyother man for the business-likeway in which tho gigantic project hasbeen carried out, has stimulated discus-sion of the matters referred to bypublicly expressing his own very posi-tive views. In interviews and in lec-tures, notably .one beforo the NationalGeographical Society, the canal builderhas stated that in his opinion theoperating of tho "ditch" is going toprove a bigger job than the building ofit. He isa strong advocate of one-mancontrol. Ho himself wields tho powerof -unlimited monarchy on the isthmusto-day, and come such power must, inhis opinion, bo given to the canal ad-ministrator when it is in operation.Moreover, he believes that the UnitedStates Government should quickly makoup its mind on this momentous matter.By th© middle of next year it will benecessary to grapple with the questionof organising the permanent force oimen to operate the waterway. Theroare now some 30,000 workmen engagedon the undertaking, 6000 of whom arowhite Americans. At least half ofthese Americans,' it is asserted, will borequired at tho canal when it is in re-gular running order. This staff mustbo chosen from the workmen beforethey are discharged, and return tothe United States.
Colonel Goethals is one of those whobelieve that tho canal can be so oper-ated as to meet running expenses andreturn to the American people intereston its investment of £62,500,000—thepresent estimated co_t of the world'seighth wonder. A flat rate of one dol-lar per tori on shipping has been sug-gested by the colonel as a proper toll.The Transcontinental railways insistthat such a rate would make competi-tion by them impossible. ColonelGoethals replies that the greater thetraffic through the canal the - greaterthe increase of shcrt-haul business tothe railways from coast points to inlandcities. Tho Tohuantepec railway routethrough Mexico will be a vigorous com-petitor of tho canal, and has long re-sorted to preferential charges, therebeing nothing stable about its nttes.With dollar tolls, however, it is be-lieved shipping would prefer tho canalto the Tehuantepeo railway. Tho mat-ter of transferring American shippingthrouf|h the canal free of charge iscomplicated by the agreement' withGreat Britain under the terms of whichshipping of the United States may re-ceive no preference. The biggestAmerican shipping interests, however,suggest as a way round the treaty,prevision that the tolls paid by Ameri-can shippers should be repaid to themout of the Unitxxl States Treasury.Congress, wheh has the final say infixing tolls, is not considered likely tomake this concession to local shippinginterests.
But Colonel Goethals has other plansfor making the canal pay, apart en-tirely from the collection of tolls. Heproposes that the United States Govern-ment run the business end of the canalas a monopoly, for the double purposeof rendering tho waterway attractive tothe shipping of the world and makingmoney. In an interview furnished thoNow York "Outlook," Colonel Goethalsthus outlines his plan:—
'•Leaving out of the question for themoment the matter of tolls, which is ob-viously of first importance, let mc out-lino tho uses to which I want or-ganisation now in existence put. First,it must be known that tho canal willbring Singapore nearer to Bremen thanthe Suez Canal brings it. But shippersin Germany are notpreparing to changetheir routes to the Orient yet. Shorterdistance alone, with even an equal tollrate, is not enough to influence Ger-many or any other Power to route herOrient trade via Panama. We mustoffer other considerations.

,rMy child had a severe hacking coughleft after measles. It was a hard, dry,racking cough, that made her throatsore. She was really ill, with no sleepat night. She seemed quite worn outwith it. She was troubled for wet"-csand simply got worse. I tried no endof cough mixtures, extract of mait,and emulsions—none were any use. itook her to
"ASK LOASBY ABOUT IT,"and on his advice started her on 'StopIt.' Three doses relieved her. Th****second night she got a splendid sleep,and never looked back from then. Inten days the cough was quite gone, andmy little one was well.
"I have sinoe used it myself, alsomy husband. We find it always actsbeneficially- I honestly think Loasby's'Stop If is absolutely the best coughcure made. It is perfection, and alwaysdoes what is claimed for it."

AMERICAN PRESIDENCY.LA FOLLETTES AMBITIONS.
A PARTY SP-IT.(from orn own roßßEsros.*I*"*'"-"..1*"*'"-"..
SAX FRANCISCO. July 2*3That the contest between President
Taft and Senator Robert La Follot'c,the militant leader of tho insu iY.cn t re-publicans, for tho Republican Pd-sidon-tial nomination, is not going to-be .mykid-gloved nflair, was shown in a recentdebato in Congress, during wh:-*h LaFolictto excoriated Mr Taft's Adminis-tration an J critici__ed his oracial act-.one by one. It was such a --p's<c.i **-smight, be made by the leader ot" aweparty against the" leader of ai-other,|and served to demount rate the appar-ently irrec-emciloablo differences be-tween the "'-.tauupat'' and in--.urr.entRepublicans. An open breach nowyawns between La Folletto and Tafi,and it seems that no question of thonecessity of combining to tic-feat thoDemocrats will close tlie former.*-, mounias to what ho eon-Lie:*- the faults oftho President. The eiieaiicg of St-iiatorLa FviUi-tto nccuse him of saeriricingeverything to his overweening anibi-b.tior.. It would appear to an inde-pendent observer at this distance ofti-no from the elect.on t'.tat. while theinsurgent leader hi.,-*, i ut a blender pros-pect of writing the party leadershipfrom Mr T.ift, ii ho pers-M..*** in his bit-tcrlv hostilo attitude to the lan-t he willen-ure tho elect on of a JPemoeiaacPro-idont. Tho dissension within theparty ser-mr. this ye:ir to bo all on theside of tho KertibHer.ns, while t'i*>D-c-n-iorats, who are usually split inmany antr.__o!iistie detachment-*, are,for a wonder, in n state of harmony.
In his nttr-ck on I're.ident Tait, theinsurgent le.'uer went back to the daysol th. imti.'tinn ->f ihe Administration,and fust crit'ei.-ed the President fordismissing all the members of Roose-velt.- cabinet, and replacing them withmen " in tho main of known hostilityto tho Roosevelt policies." As to thoCanadian reciprocity measure nego-tiated by the Prcsidc'nt, La Follotto de-clared tliat, it " vinlated every taridprinciple of reciprocity heretofore ex-prcs ed in tha platform declarations <>rtho Republican Party. Considered asa Tariff Bill it violated every tariffprinciple and platform promise uponwhich William H. Taft was electedPro k'er.t." In the fight between theplain people and confederated privilege,tho Sana tor charged that Pre ideutTaft was on the side of con federatedprivilege. His Bill dealing with theIi tenet;,to Commerce Act constituted*' a glaring example of complete sur-render to special interests.-' And coon through a long speech.
It is all very significant of the factthat tho Republic-tit Party is badly torninternally, aud as soon as Congreas ad-journs La Folletto and* his supporterswill doubtless make speeches through-out tho country that will intensify thehostility. Tho battle-cry of tho insur-gent.'? in the contest for leadership willbe. " Ln Folelte with a chance to win.or Taft nnd sure defeat." To quoteono Republican paper :—" Tho know-ledge that President Taft cannot beelected if nominated pervades the wholenation. The best service he coulcl pos-sibly render tho Republican Partywould bo to declare at once that ho willnot bo a candidate" As showing thewide cleavage in opinion, another Ro-papcr ...ays:—"Throughout tho countryto-day there in a very,real .appreciationof tho strength and wisdom of Presi-dent Taft's stntenmnship."It is undoubtedly a fact that pince
tho first year of "his administrationPresident Taft ha.s been growing inpopular favour- Ho developed slowlyas President, and at tho outset lostground by his choice of unknown menfor Cabinet positions, and by allyinghimself with "the Aldrich-Cannon ma-imchino. Since then ho has compelledadmiration by tlie ©olid body of legis-lation',pi need on the Federal statutebooks.at'hi., behest, and the passage oftbe Canadian Reciprocity Bill is a dis-tinct tribute to his leadership. ThatMr Taft. will win the nomination overLa Folletto is scarcely to be doubted.Whether bo will win arrainst "Woodrow"VViiVon, tho probable Democratic can-ididate, is a moot question.
SUPREME COURT TRIALS.
(press association telegram.)AUCKLAND, August 19.
A decree nisi was granted FrederickRichard Anstico against Flora MatildaAnstice, at tho Court to-day. Tho par-ties were married in Wellington in1905.. Petitioner stated that when liv-ing in Geraldine he sent his wife to anmsing home at Timaru to be confined.Instead she went to Dunedin. Laterhe met her in Dunedin, and she ad-mitted that she was living with an-other man.
Mr Justice Edwards said the peti-tioner was no doubt tho cause of hiswife leaving him, but ho would giveher the benefit of getting rid of him,and granted a docree nisi, but no orderwas mado as to costs.
WELLINGTON, Augnst 19,Robert Parratt was sentenced to lfi
months' imprisonment for a cowardlyassault on a man with whom ha hadbeen drinking.
•William Booth was sentenced to twoyears' imprisonment for theft from thoperson, and wob also ordered to be- de-tained in custody for fivo years afterthe expiration of the sentence.
WELLINGTON, August 20.The Supreme Court sittings wero con-
tinued yesterday hefore his Honour MrJa-?tico Sim. Arthur Frederick CharlesDavis, who was convioted on the previ-ous day of having received a ringvalued at £13, knowing it to have beenstolon, camo up for sentence. Pri-soner's counsel applied for probation,and after Komo argument, his Honourremanded "Davis until Monday.
DUNLduiN, August 18.In tho Supremo Court to-day, Mr
Justice Williams heard an originatingsummon.-- for declaration of an orderunder the Shipping and Seamen Act.Tho TJnioti Steam Ship Company wastho plaintiff, and the Minister ofMarino tho defendant. The case citedwas that in which seamen were en-gaged for a period not exceeding sixcalendar months, or until tho first ar-rival at Dunedin after tho expiry ofthat t°rm. A seaman was left on snoroat D-unedin on February 14th, and theperiod of his six months" engagement,expired on February 22nd, whilethe vessel did -"not return toDunedin till Starch 4th. Tlioquestion to be was thedate of the end of tho agreement.H:s Honour held that the agreementterminated on the first arrival of thevessel after the expiry of tho agree-ment. Another question submitted waswhether tho Superintendent of Mercan-tile Marine was entitled to deduct fromthe deposit mado by the ma,-stcr oragent of the ves.se], expenses of main-tenance and medical and other attend-ance of a seamau. where ho was sentto and attecdnnco was re-veived in, a private hospital,boarding-houso. or his own homo.On this point his Honour de-cided that deduction could bo madeonly whero treatment- had been re-ceived in a public hospital, but ex-pressed t_ir> opinion that tno sooner thelaw was altered the better.

OUR IRON DEPOSITS(SPKCIAI, TO "THE PBESS.")
WELLINGTON, August 18-A return presented to Parliament to-
day, shows that tho amount of iron de-posits in th© colony, other than iron-sand, is estimated at 64,200,000 (me-tric) tons. The deposits aro on Crownland at Parapara, Nelson, the head oftho Waitangi It., Bay of Island*, andon portion of tho Yates' estato, andKarr Point, near the North Cape.
Thore aro two leases existing atParapara. Tlie lessees of ono area havofor several years kept men. employedmaking roads, and a tramway, anahavo also built a wharf to comply withthe conditions of their lease. ItLs now-understood that they aro endeavouringto arrange for the necessary capital tocommence operations to actively de-velop the deposits. It is reported that
i the lessees of tho other area havefloated a company in England to de-velop their particular area. In thoevent of these companies showing alack of sufficient enterprise in givingeffect to the terms of their leases, itmay be found necessary for tho Crownto resumo possession of the areas, inwhich case tho Government will con-sider tho advisability of entering on thomanufacture of iron as a State enter-{irise. The imports of iron to New Zetl-and in 1910 totalled 539,303 tons.

WINEGROWERS' PROTEST.
RECENT ALLEGATIONS DENIED(PItESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.)
AUCKLAND, August 19.A meeting of winegrowers of North
Auckland was held hero this morningto protest against the remarks madoby a deputation to the Minister ofJustice, alleging that tho wine produc-ed in North Auckland was "doctored,"and that the business was ono of thomost pernicious things in connectionwith the sale of lio.uor in New Zea-land.
Mr John Yella, who presided, saidthat, like most other Austrian m.iini-facturers of wine, he was induced to6tart twelve years ago by ProfessorKirk, a Government officer ofstanding. He invested all his savingsin a vineyard. Now, when he andothers had begun to see the fruits oftheir laours, they were harassed atdaccused of things obviously untrue.Because a section of political agitatorsfound fault with some Austrians, theytried to cast a stigma over every viti-cu.turist in the North.
Another speaker stated that; the saleof bad wine should be slopped, butobjected to the proposal that wineshould only be sold in tho districtswhere it was manufactured, becausethere was no chance of disposing of thewino unless by hawking it.
It was resolved to call a generalmeeting of winegrowers, with a viewto forming an Association to draft aBill for presentation to Parliament,cmhodving the necessary facilities forthe betterment of the industry, and alsoto ask the Government Analyst toanalyse all tho wine in tho cellars oftho Northern District.
SAND DUNES.REPORT OK DR- COCKAYNE.
(SPECIAL TO ''THE PRESS.*')
WELLINGTON. August ISA valuable report, covering over 7C-
pnges of closely printed foolscap paper,doalin- with the drifting; sand areas ofXew Zealand, was presented to Parlia-ment vosterday. It is the work of Dr.Cockayne, Ph.D., F.L.S., and is sup-plcmcntarv to a former report of his.Or. Coeka-ne's investigations coveredal! tho known sand areas of New Zea-land, and involved an immense amountof work It would bo impossible ...oven indicate in detail the scope of hislabours in a newspaper article, butthere is ono paragraph in the reportwhich indicates the present conditionsof things, and States tho real remedyin a sentence:— ."Although," ho says, "certain ownftrioi dune areas aro fully aware of tht>s;.nd drift evil, and arc making bravoefforts to overcome it, these are in nofew instances misdirected efforts.Others, again, aro doing nothing. Theyrecognise, the need for action, but hareno idea as to the methods to bo pin-sued. Somo even hold the most Strang-*"or dangerous views. 6uch as that theS4-.nd did not originally come from th*sea shorn, or that a belt of shrubs -willstop a wandering dune. Even wherethe best successes havo been won, therehas been only a planting of marramgrass (Ammophila arenaria) or tree-lupin fLupinns arborens), which is atmost but a makeshift. Except underspecial circumstances, tbo final treat-ment of dunes should assuredly beafforestation, and yet by many this isthought to be impossible, ana exceptin a few specially favourable localitiesnothing of tho kind has been 'attempt-ed. Tho dunes of Now Zealand ireof soecial scientific importance., Tho""*oof tho Old World have been materiallychanged by many centuries of man'soccupation. Their t reclamation wasfor tho new nnd unnatural conditions,but in New Zealand thero is an oppor-tunity of observing what Nature, auiteunhindered, has done for their fixation.Tho nativo dune plants ftro also ofmuch interest, since some are endemicnnd also of quite remarkable form,while their value as 'sand fixers' is byno means generally appreciated."

PARLIAMENTARY TOPICS.
INTERVIEW WITH MR JAMESALLEN, M.P
Mr James Allen, M.P., one of theleaders of the Opposition Party in theHouse of Representatives, passedthrough Christchurch on -Saturday onhis wav to Dunedin.
"It is now a fortnight or so since thesession opened," said Mr Allen to a"Press" reporter, "and to a certain ex-tent we have been marking time sofar. Some useful consolidating mea-sures have been brought down, such,for instance, as the Mental DefectivesBill. Wo aro all waiting, however, fortho Prime Minister to come back, al-though wo have done quit© as macn, ifnot more, work than if tho Prime ■Min-ister had been here; but we are wait-ing now for the Financial Statement.That is the big thing, and probably therest of tho session will be taken up withmatters connected with the statement,and one or two more or less importantBills. We are also very anxious for thePrime Minister to come back, to hearfrom him personally his report upon theproceedings at the Imperial Conference.He has also got ono or two difficultquestions to deal with, such as the Coro-nation invitations, and his attitude to--wards tho great question that he sub-mitted to the Conference, namely thecreation of an Imperial Parliament, ofwhich, when he left New Zealand, ap-Earently ho had no idea. At any rate,
c never told us he had. He seems tohave had some inspiration on the mat-tor on tho voyage over to Australia.This idea, which no gave to the Austra-lian papers, which was most unfair to11s, he, very unwisely, I think, pro-Wscd and supported at the Conference,
hatever logic there was for the situa-tion, it is not wise to precipitate qnes-tions of that**kind without having pre-pared the ground for them. In the pre-sent instance 110 preparation had beenmade for so large a question as that ofan Imperial Parliament."
A question was asked as to the soli-darity of the Government Party, and•Mr Allen replied that the condition oftho party could best be illustrated bywh<at had happened in connection withtho Racing Commission's report. Onthe one hand there was one Minister,Mr Millar, declaring that the Govern-ment would stick to the report, and onthe other hand there was another Min-ister, Mr R. McKenzie, disagreeingstrongly with the attitude of tho Gov-ernment on the matter. That seemedto show tho lack of cohesion and agree-ment which existed in tho Governmentranks.
The matter of the Christohureh Northby-election was mentioned, but MrAllen said ho would prefpr not to giveany opinion on the result of that elec-tion.
HON. T. MACKENZIE.
VISIT TO DUNEDIN.The Minister of Agriculture, the
'Hon. T. Mackenzie-, passed through..Christchurch on Saturday morning onliis way to Dunedin.- In the course of a brief conversationwith a member of "The Press" staff .theMinister said that the Seeds Controland Noxious Weeds Bills had a fairprospect of getting through this ses-sion. The Seeds Control Bill, Mr Mac-kenzie said, was merely a beginning,and the principle contained in it could,be widened in the future. They wouldhave to_work up to the point of secur-ing satisfactory germination and re-liable strains of seeds. Cultivationfor seed purposes should becarried out under such conditions oswould ensure to the farmer a highquality of the particular plant he de-,, .«ire<L -For instance, thoy would take
•-n year from the time they sowed tur-nip seed till it was threshed out. Manyfarmers simply gathered seed from tur-nips that might havo been sowja withtheir.ordinary crop late in the.spring.T_hat*i of course, was riot the right sy«-tcmV The seed grown must be remoteenough from other varieties to preventcross-fertilisatiott. ': " 'Mr Mackenzie said that the. A. andP Association Conference had been amost satisfactory one. Personally, hehad been most .gratified at the appre-ciative remarks passed regarding rhework of the Agricultural "Department,and the exoressions of goodwill towardshimself. The president made it quiteclear that the Conference was aboveparty, and that the delegates werethero forthe simole purnoie of advanc-ing the' agricultural and pastora,! in-terests of the country. It wonld havebeen: im-oossible, had it been a partyorganisation, for the< Conference +ohave been opened by h\\ Excellency theGovernor, or for the 3lin_ster of Afri-culture nnd other members of Parlia-ment'to hay« b~een present and takenthe part in the proceedings which thayhad taken. .

PEACE IN SIGHT IN ENGLAND.Wo publish this morning tho extremelysatisfactory news that a settlement oftho railway strike in Great Britain hasbeen reached towards tho end of theeleventh hour, and w© hope tho newswill soon oome that strikers in otheroccupations have returned to work.Representatives of the railwaycompanies and the unions, mem-bers of tho Ministry and depart-mental officials, met at the Board ofTrade,, and after a prolonged confer-ence, terms were agreed upon by whichwork, is to be resumed on certain con-ditions. The disputes now awaitingsettlement are to be enquired into bylocal Conciliation Boards, and failingsettlement, rcferonoo is to he made tothe Central Board and to arbitration.Tho Government is forthwith to appoint ja Commission to enquire into theworking of tho Conciliation Boardsettlement of 1907, dissatisfaction withwhich has caused this great trouble,and the Commission is to report asquickly as possible. Both sides haveagreed to accept its findings. In themeantime no striker is to suffer for,his action in striking. The agreementseems to be a very satisfactory one,and the pity is that it was not arrivedat several days ago and much loss andsuffering avoided. Our cables thismorning indicate what the stato ofEngland would havo been inparts in a few days if thestrike had gone on. In Liverpoolthere has been no traffic in thestreets, and tlie death-rate has almostdoubled. Most of this increase wasprobably duo to heavier mortalityamong children—innocent victims ofthis kind of warfare. Tho messages
"read as if the city wero stricken withtho idaguo. Tho representatives of themen, in instructing the strikers to re-turn to work, cliira the settlement as avictory for trades unionism. It is so, in sofar that tho employers, after refusingto meet the men direct, in view of theoperation of tho scheme adopted in19077subsequently met them in confe-r----ence, but tho men themselves havogiven way in accepting the Govern-ment's Commission of enquiry, whichlast week they refused. Thero hasboon surr3nd_r on both sides, and it isto be hoped that tho agreement willoperate with tho greatest possible bene-fit to both sides. Tho end of tho strikeis a credit to tho Government, whostrove haid to bring tho parties to-gether and make peace. We have ar.idea that had Mr Lloyd George been itthe Board of Trade the trouble mighthavo been settled more quickly, but MrBuxton lias done very well. So far aswe can jodgo by iho cables, the Govern-ment have handled a difficult and dan-gerous situation very capably. Theymust havo disliked the employment oftroops, but they were commendably firmand prompt when the thing had to bedone, sold while they worked hard forpeace, they taade it very clear that they
s*-ouid preserve the rights and theaafafcy of the community tinder any.drcunstances.
NOXIOUS WEEDS.
Those who have had no experience of•the administration of tho Noxious*Weeds Act may bo pardoned for sup-posing that nothing could bo moreabsurd than 6ome of its provisions.But tho experienced will bo found toadmit that in point of absurdity boththo provisions and tho administrationof tho Act vie with one another formastery. Plants defined as noxiousweeds are divided in the schedules ;o
tho Act, into two classes. Tho firstschedule includes only blackberry,swectbriar, and Californian thistle.These are deemed noxious weedswherevor found. The second schedule|contains tho names of twenty-fiveplants, and these only become noxiousweeds, in a legal sense, when th© localauthority issues a declaration to tinteffect. It will he seen, then, that afarmer whoso land is divided by a roadforming tho boundary between twolocal authorities, may find that plants
[held to ho noxious in some of his pitd-docks are regarded as harmless inothers. On tho other hand, after hav-ing been allowed to regard certainplants as hjirmless for years, ho sud-denly finds that they havo been pro-moted to the dignity of noxious weeds,and he is saddled with tho expense ofclearing plant*, which, in the first In-stance, could easily havo been pre-vented from increasing . Indeed, th'Sis just the point at which the adminis-tration of tho Act hae been so ridicu-lous in the past. Ih many districts theharm hue already been done, and nilhope of exterminating somo pests hasdisappeared. But there are also manydistricts in which some particularplant has not ye6established itsolf,and it is fn such cases as these thatthe administration is so ludicrously on-pose-T to tho dictates of tho most ordi-nary common-sense. As long as onlya few isolated specimens aro to bofound nothing is done, and no ono isprosecuted. Yet surely this is tho stagoat which tho utmost vigilance is neces-sary, and neglect is more than evercriminal. But it is only when tho hill-sides aro yellow with ragwort, or purplewith Californian thistle, that thoauthorities are roused to action, andwo then see men prosecuted and finedfor not achieving the impossible, while| others who could scotch some post ina few mrflutes and omit to do so, enjoycomplete immunity. As to ragwort,we confess we cannot understand whyit is included in tho second schedule.If any plant deserves tho titlo ofnoxious weed, surely it might fittinglyhe applied to ono which not only en-cumbers the ground -.o tho exclusionof legitimate forage plants, but is alsofatal to any class of stock that hasaccess to it continuously. Yet thisplant ie not deemed a noxious weeduntil it has boen so declared by thelocal authority, and this step is seldomif ever taken until a plant has at-tained such an ascendancy as to excitegeneral remark. All over tho country•may be seen isolated clumps of somoplant qualified to figure as a noxiousweed, yet year after year passes andits extermination.'v neither attemptednor enforced. Yot, surely, this is justtho caso in which non-observance oftEo law, after due warning had been£iven, might fittingly bo visited withimprisonment without the option of afine.
As wo have said, however, the lawis seldom or never enforced until .allhope of extermination is gone for ever,and all that can bo dono is to preventthe plant from seeding. At this stagotho administration of the law has beenattended by hardship and characterisedby th© most marked partiality. Dur-ing last summer and autumn farmerswero -prosecuted farand wide for not cut-ting Californian thistle. On arable land,where the use of machinery is possible,the cutting of thistles is a simplematter. But in hilly country, andmore especially in bush country on-cumbered as it is with logs and stumps,which entail tho use of tho sickle ratherthan even the scythe, it is frequentlyimpossible to comply with tho require-ments of tho law. The work of cuttingthistles, it must be remembered, is notone that can bo undertaken at any oddtime of the year," when other work-isslack. On the contrary, it must bebegun and ended within a certain speci-fied period, and this period occurs at atime when all the labour available isoccupied with shearing or harvest. In-deed, it is doubtful whether the entiremaio population of certain districtscould do the work within the periodwhen it would bo effective. In somedistricts it is perfectly certain thatthey* could not. These districts, too,aro situated on the lower slopes of tliemain ranges. Above them, reachingto the snow-line, are vast, unoccupiedtracts of Crown land. Unoccupied, thatis, savo by wide areas of Californianthistle. The wind off the mountainsusually assumes tho proportions of agale, as in tho case of our nor'-westers,and any man who cut his thistles woulddo so in the full knowledge that hisland w«is being polluted from a muchlarger infected area. However,tho sacred.-majesty of the law must be
upheld, and so sundry individuals aroprosecuted, and fined, while ten timestheir number are allowed to go scotfree. Upon what principle this discri-mination is exercised wo cannot say,but it appears to us that such a poweris a very dangerous weapon to beplaced in tho hands of any inspectoror Government official. We say thisimpersonally, but nono the less em-phatically. If the prosecution of every
ono equally responsible is out of thequestion, for reasons of political expedi-ency, surely it is wrong to adopt thebarbaric principle of decimation. Cases,too, have occurred in which the Depart,ment has recognised the futility ofenforcing tho Act in such districts aswe have described, and consequentlyhas taken no action for several years,but a new Minister has arisen, theedict has gone forth, and a small pro-portion of those liable have been prose-
culed. Meanwhile, m tho very heartof such districts where one noxiousweed has already obtained an ascen-dancy which is beyond attack, men arefound complacently preserving clumpsof blackberry for the sake of the fruit,and tho inspector leaves them com-pletely alono. Yet in bush coniltrythe thistle could never bo one-tenth asharmful as the blackberry. It is to.behoped that in any amending legislationthat may he introduced this session,the points to which we havo directedattention nmy not bo lost sight of.
CLEAN SPORT.
It is no disparagement to the excel-lent little addresses on "Clean Sport"delivered at tho East Bolt MethodistChurch last night by two woll-known'athletes that thoy contained little thatwas new. Their value lay largely inthe famo of tho speakers and their re-putation as being themselves expon-ents of thoroughly clean sport. Thocongregation knew beforehand that twosuch men as Mr F. T. Evans and MrT. W. Reese, one a renowned foot-baller and possibly an oven better re-feree, and tho other ono of the bestfieldsmen who ever stepped on to acricket field in any part of th*? world,would make no mistakes, such as thatrecorded of a clergyman in "A Lon-doner's Log Book," who adjured theyoung men of his congrega-tion to "row tho great raceof lifo with their eyes "stead-
" lastly fixed on tho goall" TheEast Belt congregation listened to menwho know athletic sport from end toond, wlio havo borno their part in itwith distinction and whose sound ad-vico had on that account an addedstrength. Each address was in effectan appeal to tho young men to "playthe game," to remember that thoughvictory is desirablo it is hotter to Josehonourably than to win by dishonour-.iblo or doubtful tactics. Wo be-lieve, with Mr Evans, thkt 6port. inChristchurch, taking it all round,is clean, but wo aro glad to sco that heemphasises that if it is to bo kept so.commercialism must be cut out. Therei. a tendency in some quarters to favoura pseudo-professionalism which would-■oon develop into tho real thing, ar.dwould introduce most undeairablo fea-tures into what should ho merely thohealthy rivalry of one lot of youngfellows with another lot. It would havebeen better, we think, if Mr Reese hadnot touched o.i the controversial sub-ject of compulsory military training.While somo people complained, he sdid,that games occupied too great a place,thoy could not give anything to takethe placo of athletics. "The only thing" they could givo was military training," which was not going to be successful,"because it was to bo oompulsory." Itis never wiso to prophesy, and in thisparticular case it was unwise to say any-thing to liivo colour to the idea thattho followers of athletic sports are un-willing to mako the small sacrifice ofpersonal pleasuro and convenience en-tailed by tho training scheme. If, inthe past, tho footballers and cricketersand those who play other games hadgiven to volunteering only a part of tlietimo and energy and zeal that they de-voted to games, there would have beenno need for the introduction of compul-sory training, for it would have becomea national habit to servo for a term asa volunteer.
During the debate in the House onFrid<.y on Mr A. W. Hogg's Abolitionof Duties on Food Bill, the alleged"butter ring" camo in for some cri-ticism. Mr Hogg himself declared that"there was no shortage of butter if onehad th© money to pay for it," a self-evident proposition which applies tomany things besides butter—motor-cars, for instance, and diamonds, andDreadnoughts. If Mr Rockefeller wereliving in New Zealand he could, if hewished, buy a.s muoh butter as twenty,or a hundred,.' families could con-sume. But that would not prove thatthere was an average supply of butteravailable, which somo mysterious ringwas keeping in store for the pleasure oflooking at it. The truth is, of course,that thero is not sufficient butter .intho country to supply its requirementsat a normal price. Tho factories thatsold their output in advance last sea-son to London buyers had to fulfil theircontracts, or suffer the unpleasant con-sequences, and they have very good rea-son to regret the dry season which re-stricted so severely tho quantity avail-able for homo consumption. The pre-sent position may bo judged from thestatoment of the manager of one buttercompany, that by the middle oflast week thero wero only 652 boxes ofhis company's butter in New Zealand,whereas on the same date last yearthere were 16,894 boxes available. Asto tho allegation that New Zealandbutter that costs tb© local consumereighteenpence a pound is being sold ata shilling a pound in London, it maybe pointed out that first grado colonialbutter was selling in London moro thana month ago at practically a shilling apotind wholesale. It is improbablo thatit -.was being retailed at cost price.Sinco then, owing to drought andstrikes, the prico has advanced.
A new feature in the daily paperswhich may have escaped general noticeis the paragraph appearing in almostevery issue, stating what vessels wer©
in communication with the wirelesstelegraphic offioe in Wellington on theprevious day. Tho paragraph remindsus that at last the Dominion is on theway to possess a wireless service, andthat an increasing number of vesselsdoing business in New Zealand watershave taken advantage of tho latestbenefit that science has placed at theirdisposal A year or two ago it wasbeing proposed in sevoral countries thatevery ocean-going passenger steamershould bo compelled by law to havean installation of wireless apparatus.Any thought that th© British Govern-ment had of taking this course hasbeen rendered unnecessary by the.factthat almost all the steamers of Britishlines aro already equipped with wire-,less. Legal action was, however,deemed necessary in the United States,and on July Ist a law came into forcedeclaring that no steamer carrying
■fiijcy nassensersor morewould bo grant-ed clearance for a foreign port unlessprovided -with » wireless telegraphsystem in charge of a certificated op-orator. A penalty of £250 will be im-posed for a breach of this regulation.A London paper recording this fact,states that a similar measure is beingpromctcd in Now Zealand, hut up totho present, however, nothing has beenheard of it, and judging by recent de-velopments itwill soon bo quite unneces-sary.
A prospective -settler in New Zea-land, who came here from WestAustralia some months ago, leaves onhis return to tho Comiponwealth to-day, indignant and disgusted, audshaking the dust of the Dominion fromhis boots. Mr Mackay, who had madosome money as a miner and had de-cided to" take up pig-farming hero,spent somo little timo looking ont forland. and eventually applied forseventy-three acres in Aucklandprovince, having seen it mentionedin tho Government "Land Guide."as open for a tenant. Hopaid hi* rent, bought a horso andcart, and stores, etc., and was in afair way to enter upon his holding,when he received word I hat a mistakehad been made, and that tho lard th.atho had leased had been leased as farback as January to a previous appli-cant. The Government generously re-funded him the rent he had paid, b-itwhen ho invited the Department to re-imburse his other expenses ho war. toldthat his claim would not be recognised.Ho was offered other sections, but thoydid not suit him, and so ho is goinglack to Australia, considerably out ctpocket through his attempt to becomea New Zealand settler. If the Govern-ment will not admit any liability lorofficial mistakes, it should at least givepersons who look to the "Land Guidefor information some hint that thostptements therein contained are notnecessarily correct because they aromade on the authority of a GovernmentDepartment.

Our cable messages announce thodeath of Lord James of Hereford thismorninc at the age of 83. As SirHeury James, he was Attorney-Generalin tho Gladstono Government from 1880to 1885. Then came the Homo Ruloquestion, which broke so many politi-cal ties and sundered so many personalfriendships. To Sir Henry James, whowas tho only possible candidate for theLord Ohancelloiship, it meant a greatsacrifice," similar, in point of fact, tothat of the Marquis of Hartington,afterwards Duke of Devonshire. Theono sacrificed tho Chancellorship andthe other the Premiership, rather thanrenounce their opposition to HomeRule. James's secession to the Union-ists opened the way for Farrer Her-echell, a few years before almost anunknown barrister, who died somoyears ago in Washington. SirHenry James entered Lorrl Salis-bury's Cabinet in later years,like other' ex-Liberals, and be-came "Chancellor of tho Duchy," asthe office is colloquially known- In hisprime he was to the"Liberals what LordHalsbury (then Sir Hardinge Giffarci)was to the Conservatives. But tholatter realised his ambitions, and in his86th' year has still more political firethan many of tho younger men.Lord James of Hereford, howovcr,never took much part in public affairsafter going to tho Lords, no was amember of the highest Court of Appeal,and his judgments wero always receivedwith respect. He never married, andthe -peerage dice with him. Of Glad-stone's 1880-5 Government, of whichLord James was a member, there mustbe very few survivors, Mr Chamber-lain (now a permanent invalid) and SirGeorge Trevelyan, recently honouredwith the Order of Merit, being th© onlyones whom wo can recall at the mo-ment.

The Busy recent novel, escapedAeroplane, from many porploxities
by "a drop from life todeath" in a monoplane, after thenjoyment of "ono last fly" together. Itmust be a great (pleasure to sciencethat in whatovor direction it may ad-vance, it is sure at least to contributeto the materials for fiction. The aero-plane, judging from current light litera-ture, is already sustaining not only afair proportion of air-men, but half themagazine writers of the day. Yet thishighly-important function is not notedin Mr Claude Grahame-White's ac-count of "What Flying will do for theWorld." The premier airman, andwinner of th© Gordon Bennett Inter-national Trophy, only considers thesporting and commercial possibilities ofair-craft. First it is to revolutionisemethods of transit. When "air-ways"aro defined, along which "all-weathermachines" will he making regular pas-senger-carrying journeys from countryto country, then tho aeroplane, revel-ling in an ideal medium for high-speedtravel, will be the triumphant rival ofexpress trains and turbine steamers. Itwill bo the swift and trusted carrier ofmails; the exciting centre of all sorts ofdevelopments in air-sports. Explora-tion has already seized upon it, andthero is a chance that this last inven-tion may be the first at tho South Polo'Quito recently a largo concern whichoperates an oil-field in Persia, decidedthat an aeroplane would be of real useto their surveyors in covering atract of country. So a machine waspurchased in Paris, and one of theirsurveyors has been sent to a flying-school to learn how to manipulate it."Tho local inhabitants of th© oil-counti-vwill debate whether that surveyor ridesa Djinn, or some variety of the flying-carpet familiar in Persian tales! Again,in connection with the preliminary sur-vey work for a railway Un© in SouthAmerica, an aeroplane will be employed—thus in its infancy heljang forward a
thing which in its full-grown power,Mr Grahame-White believes, it willfinally supersede. Meanwhile there aremany minor uses to which these ma-jestic creations aro applied. Films oftbe Coronation procession, for instance,wero carried hy aeroplane to differentparts of tho country, and before theKing had returned t«3_the Palace, dis-tant- audiences wero.beginning to followhim through the ceremonials—all lyfavour of this Brobdingnagian pigeonpest.
The sorrows of Royalty aroA proverbial, but in few
Queen's instances are they so heavyTragedy, and cali for so much pity,
as in the caso of QuoeuMaria Pia of Portugal, who died re-cently in sorrow and in exile. She hadmore than her duo share of the vicissi-tudes of tliD Houso of Braganza. Herhusband died when still a young man.!_>he was not a witness of the assassina-tion of her son and grandson, but noth-ing could havo been more awful thanherexperience when, waiting for tho Kingand Crown Princo, she mot but theirbullet-riddled bodies brought by somooversight into her presence. A fewyears before, her brother, King Hum-bert of Italy, had also perished at thohands of an assassin. Her own life wasat least once imperilled hy an an-archist. Tliat was shortly after thomurder of King Humbert, when atAix-lc-Bains a fiendish plot upon herlife was happily frustrated. Anothergrandson, King Manuel of Portugal,was deposed, and all the family hid tofly from the country. To tho super-stitious the part that Octoberplayed in iier life would seem signifi-cant. She was born on October 16th,1847, and the same date sixty-throeyears later saw her leave Gibraltar toreturn, an exile, to her native country,Italy. Oii October 6th, 1862, sho wasmarried, and tho dato of her arrivalin Portugal os a bride was the date ofher departuro forty-eight years later asan exile. It was also in October thather husband, King Luiz 1., died- It if.not strange that ono who had seen andexperienced much trouble and sorrowshould have boon considerate of thotroublos of others. Queen Maria wasfor forty years known as the "Angel ofCharity." Sho was at the head of in-numerable beneficent societies, andpersonally superintended the manage-ment of them. But she was not con-tent to play this part Only. "Many atime," says a writer on the Court ofPortugal, "she wot Id quit the Palaceat some early hour, unaccompanied,simply dressed in black, and *nono ofher household would dare to askwhither she went, for all knew that itwas on somo secret errand of mercy.It was no unoommon sight to see herquitting the Cathedral, after morningmass, surrou ided by a crowd of poorfolk, who knelt as she pass.d, kissedtho hem of her diess, or presented apetition." In ono respect was sho morefortunate than many who have worn acrown. Her marriage was >no of affec-tion, and was in every respect a happyono.
Tho bright and ob-"Dreyfusitis." servant Paris corres-
pendent of th©"Evening Standard" tells of an inci-dent that throws strong light on an im-portant phaso of French character. Howas sitting in a oafd with two French-men, discussing tho Coronation, andtho conversation turned on tho wonder-ful order kept by tho London police."There is nothing remarkable in that, 'eaid on© of tho Frenchmen, "English-men don't argue with those whom theyhavo set in authority over them, andFrenchmen always do." This was as-sented to by ;tho other Frenchman. Afew moments later a copy of the"Patrio" was brought along, and inthe first columo was seen an article byRochefort on tho Dreyfus case,called "The Proof of th© Crimo." "Ofoourse," said one of tho Frenchmen,"there are thousands of Frenchmenwho mustand will argue still about thoDreyfus case." ft is years since theDreyfus controversy reached its zenith,and years sine© Dreyfus obtained jus-tice,, and for the rest of the world thecase is as dead as Quoen Anne. But inFrance it lives in the form of a seriousmalady—"Dreyfusitis." This maladyhas even made it possible for other Go-vernments to trade on the Frenchman'shabit of not backing up his Govern-ment, and has been responsible for moreloss of prestige than the case itself.The style of Rochefort's articlo may bogauged from its beginning. "All ofthem, the Prime Minister, the Presi-dent of the Appeal Court, the Ministerof War, an ox-Minister like Trarieux, adeputy, like Joseph Reinach, workedwith all their force to deliver Francebound hand and foot to the foreigner.All the highest dignitaries of the Re-public struggled in the rush to heapanother stone upon this monument ofinfamy." Tho effect of this kind ofthing in fostering a spirit of dark sus-picion and hysterical argument, is de-plorable. All over Franco are to befound men who aro ready to declare,and firmly believe, that everybody, withpower- in Franoe can bo bought andsold. When the Agadir question is set-tled, there will be men to declare thatsomebody has bribed tho French Go-vernment, including the President.That M. Fallieres is on© of the richestmen in France, and that ho is a typolof the best qualities of tho bourgeoisie,!will make no difference.

Special stress was laid upontho inadequacy of the exemption clauseof the Act and reference was made tothe inconsistency and inharmony ofthe military spirit with the teacningsof Christ. In answer to questions,the d6putation stated that the im-mediate object of tho Council was toagitate for the repeal of the compul-sory clauses, and that its aims werelaw-abiding and peaceful.

Tlie Mayor of New Brighton (Mr C.H. Opie) states that attention has beencalled to the importance of'improvingthe Avon. It had been customary forsome time past for the local authorityhaving control of the river in its higherreaches to cut the weeds away fromthe banks, and let the weeds float downst.ream. The result was that when theyreached that part of the, river whichwas subject to tidal influence, theweeds were washed backwards and for-wards for days. Finally, they formedmud hanks, and blocked the channel.Tbe river was becoming yearly less at-tractive, and it was evident that some-thing would have to be done to preventweeds floating down the river, MrOpie intends to call a meeting of boat-ing men and others to discuss the ques-tion of improving the river. Sumner isinterested also in the matter, and theMayor of that borough has assured MrOpie of his hearty support. •In a letter to his father the NewZealand sprinter, Opie, writes that hehad been spending three weeks in thecountry, the rupture to one of themuscles of his leg having been greatlyaccentuated by his running on twovious Saturdays. He could not under-stand how the rupture was caused, asit was done when he was running ex-ceedingly well ona good straight track;Every New Zealander had had equallybad luck. Woodger had suffered frompneumonia, Haskins from tendontrouble, and Champion from crampwhile in. a winning position. Person-ally, Onic considered that his own luckmighthavo been worse. He came secondin the Empire 220 Yards Champion-ship, after passing through awful tor-ments. Ho won his heat in the 220Yards English Championship, but couldnot walk for some timo after thatevent. Apart from the rupture, hewas extremely fit and well.
Although it is known that somo Wel-lington supporters of the Governmenthave for some time been moving in thomatter of tendering a welcome to thePrime Minister on his return to NowZealand, a good deal of secrecy (say**tho "Dominion") has surrounded thobusiness. From enquiries made, it ap-pears that the trouble over the chair-manship at the farewell banquet (whichwas solved by Sir Robert Stout comingto tho rescue of tho organisers) islikely to cause something liko a hitch.As matters stand, so it is understood,it is probable that the Mayor (Mr Wit-ford) might preside, assurances havingbeen offered to him to overlook thetreatment he received on tho formeroccasion. Tho present idea is that afunction shall bo held in the TownHall—probably a conversazione—towhich admission will bo free. The dateis dependent upon the iime of theRna-pohu's arrival It is not known whe-ther the Attorney-General is returningwith Sir Joseph Ward, or whether hewill bo associated as a guest with tbePrime Minister. Finality has not beenreached on other pointa also.

Burke and Wills's Exploring Expe-dition.—Robert O'Hara Burke, an offi-cer of police, was selected to lend theexpedition, and with him were WilliamJohn Wills, surveyor and astronomer,a botanist, a man in charge of thecamels, an artist, and ten assistants.From the camp at Cooper's Creek theleader, aeeomnanied by Wills and twoassistants, dashed into the interior withbut one iuea—to cross tho continent atall hazards. They reached the estuaryof tho Flinders River on February 4th,1861, the first man to cross the Conti-nent, and then hurried back; on theway one of tho assistants died. In thelast stago of exhaustion they again ar-rived at the depot on April 21st, onlyto find that the officer left in chargehad that very day departed south. Theanxiety felt with regard to the fate ofth© explorers led to a relief party be-ing sent to Cboocr's Creek. It foundKing, tho survivor, and buried theremains of Wills and of Burke.This was ono of tho greatesttragedies of Australian exploration,and tho fate of these intrepid men hasan added sadness from tho fact thatthey had accomplished their mission,and were looking forward to a joyoushome-coming when they met theirdeath by misadventure.

St. Francis of Sales.—Tho life of thoSaint affords an example of brilliantworldly prospects abandoned for thesako of devotion to tho Church.He was born of a good family in Savoy,well educated, and after, with mucudifficulty, obtaining his father's con-tent, took orders in. the diocese ofGenova. He soon becamo distinguishedas a preacher. Very soon after hisordination he was employed by hisbishop in a mission for the convefi>.onof the Calvinistic population of a neigh-bouring district. The success of thismission was almost unprecedented; on©Of the most remarkable incidents in itwas a conference with tho celebratedCalvinist leader, Theodore do Boza.Later, whilo in France, he was invitedto preach tbo Lent sermons in thoChapel of tho Louvre, and hia lectureswero reputed to have had so much in-fluence in bringing about the conver-sion of several Huguenot nobles, thatthe King tried to induce him to accepta French bishopric, but in vain. Shortlyafter his return to his diocese, andupon the death of the bishop, he suc-ceeded him in th© episcopate. His ad-ministration of hia charge was beyonanil praise, among his many measuresfor reform being a renovation of iuemonastic spirit. He again refused tneoffer of a French bishoprio pressed uponhim, and also tho offer of a oardinalatefrom the Pope. Increasing infirmitiesobliged him, towards the end of his lite,to obtain assistance in tho charge of hisdiocese. Hp continued to labour,-how-ever, to the last, dying in December,1622- In 1665 he was solemnly canon-ised as a faint by Alexander VII. orhis writing, his well-known "Introduc-tion to a Devout Life," continues to bea popular manual of piety.
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.—LadyMary was* the eldest daughter of tneDuke of Kingston. As she grow up shebecame remarkable for the beauty ofher person, an obvious superiority ofintellect, and a fondness tor readingand study. When in her twenty-seconayear she married Edward WortleyMontagu, a man of. ripe scholarship, »great traveller, and skilled in modern
mguages. Lady Mary and her hus-band resided for some years after theirmarriage 141 different places, and uponMr Montagu obtaining a seat at theTreasury ward, they lived in I*mdon.She was then )" beautiful exceedingly,"was noted for;her wit and gaiety, andwas on terms' of intimate friendshipwith Addison had Pope,* and other liter-ary menl of •fcheday. In 1716 MrMontagu -was appointed Ambassador tothe Porte, and ho and-his wife pro-oeeded to Constantinople, irpart of theworld then very unfamiliar comparedwith what it has since become. TheSair remained abroad Wtil 1718, and
uring this time Lady Mary wrote thewell-known "Letters" to her sister, theCountess of Mar, Pope, and otherfriends, ihe "Letters" give a truedescription of Eastern lifeand manners,«nd are written in a clear, lively style,sparkling with wit and humour. Whilein Turkey she witnessed inoculation,and introduced it into England on herreturn, having so much faith in itssafety that she tried it first on her ownson. -She remained in England for agreat many years. She renewed herintimacy with Pope, and then quar-relled with him. the immediate cause otthe quarrel being not very clear, butit almost certainly originated with thepoet, who. with Bforace Walpole. hardlyceased thereafter to publish all kindsof unsavoury -slander in connection withher. Time, however has cleared hermemoryofsuch charges, though itmustbe admitted that this clever woman waswanting in delicacy, and sometimes al-lowed hex love of satire and pleasantryto outrun her discretion. She died in1762, in her seventy-seoond year.
Vimiera.—ln thisPortuguese towntheBritish and Spanish forcee, under Wel-lington, defeated the French, underMarshal Junot. Duke of Abrantes. TheFrench attack, made with greatbravery, was gallantly repulsed;it was repeated by Kellermanat the head of the Frenchreserve, which was also repulsed. TheFrench, charged with the bayonet,withdrew at all points in confusion,leaving many prisoners. This was thefirst of Wellington's victories in thePeninsula.
Kossuth flees to Turkey.—ln 1848the Hungarian patriot was the leaderin the rebellion against Austria. Asa reply to an Imperial degree ofMarch 4th, abolishing the HungarianConstitution, he induced the NationalAssembly to declare that the Hapsburgdynasty had forfeited the throne. Hewas now appointed provisional governorof Hungary, and it was not longbeforeBeveral causes led him to endeavour toarouse the peoplo to a more desperateeffort. The attempt, however, wasvain, and. for commendablo patriotioreasons, ho resigned his dictatorship infavour of Gorgei. After the defeat atTemosvar on August 9th, 1849, hefound himself compelled to flee intoTurkey, where ho was made a prisoner,and only released through tho influenceof England and the United States.After his release he sailed to th© formercountry, where he was received withevery demonstration of public respectand sympathy. He eventually returnedto Hungary, and was successful inbringing about bettor relations betweenAustria and Hungary.

SIR JOSEPH WARD.ARRIVAL AT HOBART.
INTERVIEW ON THE WORK OFTHE CONFERENCE
United Press Association—By ElectricTeiegrraph—Copyright
(Received August 20th, 5 p.m.)HOBART, August 20.
Sir Joseph Ward arrived yesterdayfrom London by th© Ruapohu.
He stated in an interview that hoagreed with Mr Asquith that the re-sults of tho Imperial Conference, bothin quantity and general benefit to thoEmpire, were of the most solid anden-
jduring kind, firstly, as regards matterstouching tlio internal relations of thoEmpire, and secondly as regards mat-ters touching international relations.Chief among tho former was the under-taking of the Imperial authorities thathereafter no international agreementwould bo entered into which affected theoversea Dominions, without conferencoor consultation with tho Dominionsaffected. Thus would obviate a gooddeal of heart-burning, such as had intho pa6t been occasioned by the Impe-rial Government completing agreementsvitally affecting the oversea Dominionswithout reference to thoso Dominions.Tho prevailing practice on tho part ofthe Homo Government now was tostrictly limit all its internationaltreaties to the United Kingdom, unlosatho oversea Dominions desired to bo in-cluded, and tho undertaking on thepart of tho British Government to ob-tain roleaso from existing commercialtreaties of any Dominions desiring suchfreedom, was a concession to thoautonomy of all the self-governingcountries of tho Empire.
IMPERIAL COURT OF APPEAL." During tho discus-sion on tho pro-
posed creation of a final Imperial Courtof Appeal, Mr Asquith admitted thatthe Dominions had well-founded roasonafor complaint. Tho Imperial Govern-ment hn<_ now undertaken, at the in-stance of resolutions submitted by ms\xo alter tho constitution and procedureof tho existing Court of Appeal for theoversea Empire. There will be twodivisions. Ono will have appeals fromthe United Kingdom, and the otherfrom tho oversea Dominions. TbdPrivy Council is to bo strengthened by.tbe addition of two of the ablest Eng-lish judges, and tho procedure is to beassimilated to that of the House ofLords.
NATURALISATION."Another long stride towards Impe-
rial unity was tho ngreement arrivedat unanimously in respect to Imperialnaturalisation. In the past the most-striking anomalies have existed. Thosonaturalised in New Zealand or in'Canada, for instanco, whiloBritish sub-jects within, these Dominions,, werealiens in any other part of Empire.The utmost diversity prevailed betwceathe. Dominions."
IMPERIAL UNION.Passing to what was admittedly tha
most important subject brought beforethe Conference, his motion in favourof a representative Imperial Council,Sir Joseph Ward 6aid:—"lt is signifi-cant of the extent to which tho peopleof the United Kingdom desire closerImperial unity, that over three hundredmembers of th© House of Commons,representative not cf on© party, but ofall parties, memorialised Mr Asquith to.promote closer association of the over-sea Dominions wftb the Imperial Gov-ernment in the control of great Imperialinterests, particularly defence, and todo this by means of a council reallyrepresentative of all parts of the Em-pire. This memorial was in consequenceof the resolution tabled by myaelffor discussion at tha and Iam entitled to quote this as an an-swer to. those who suggest that the in-troduction of the subject was some-what gratuitous, and without the wide-spread and fervent support of thepeople of the Motherland. In submit-ting the motion I never contemplatedtho possibility of its being agreed toas establishing an organised system. Itonly sought the affirmation of a princi-ple, and as a matter of fact tho princi-ple underlying the motion was affirmed.Mr Asquith declared on the part ofthe British Government, that it wasin fullest sympathy with any practi-cal means for bringing the oversea Do-minions into closer union with the.Motherland, and th© sentiment was re-peated by the various oversea, repre-sentatives—notably General Botha.
IMPERIAL DEFENCE."The subsequent discussions upon
Imperial defence, which owing to thenecessity for secrecy I cannot disclose,satisfy mc beyond a doubt that effec-tive Imperial co-operation for thedefence of the Empire cannot be securedwithout the adoption in some shapeof the principle of Imperial unity Iadvocated. It is generally recognisedthat while there may be several navieswithin the Empire, there cannot foreffective purposes of Imperial defenoebe more than one Imperial navaldefence policy. .Recognising that thebest result of one policy is one greatEmpire Navy, 1 have always . advo-cated as New Zealand's contribution, tothe Navy, a money grant, on condi-tion that the ocean highways shouldbe fully safeguarded as well as theshores of the different Dominions.
THE COMMISSION."The decision of the Imperial Con-ference to appoint an Imperial Com-
mission with representatives on it fromtho Motherland and the oversea Do-minions, is a very yaluablo and im-portantone. Such a Commission, if menof wide experience and knowledge areappointed, must bo able to obtain evi-dence that will enable all concerned toimprove trade relationships existingthroughout the Empire. Necessarilysuch a Commissioncannot interfere withthe fiscal policy of any portion of theEmpire, but with th© ever-increasingefforts to secure trade by competingwith foreign countries, it is all im-portant that nothing should b© leftundone by the respective British coun-tries, to improve tho conditions of thovast and increasing trade betweenthemselves.
'Summed up, all must agree withMr Asquith that the results of th©recent Conference have been very solidand practical, and that none of thesecould have been obtained rapidly oreffectively except by means of the dis-cussions which took place, and tho de-cisions arrived at by the Conference inLondon."
BRITAIN IN THE PACIFIC.Sir Joseph Ward's attention -was
drawn to the endeavours Mr Fishermade while in LDndo.it to have theBritish possessions in iiia Pacific placedunder Australian control. He wouldmake no statement, preferring to pre-serve a neutral attitude.
When twenty days out from Mar-
seilles Sir Joseph received a wirelessmessage as to tho rumour of hand-ing over Tahiti to Germany in con-nection with tho Morocco trouble, andhe telegraphed to Mr Lewia Hatcourt,the Colonial Secretary, emphaticallyprotesting against this, contending thatit would be against th© best inter-ests of tlie British community in thaPacific. Ho was glad to hear thorumour was not true.
Sir Joseph left early on Sunday forthe Dominion.

HOW THE POOR LIVE.LONDON INVESTIGATIONS.
11.INSURING FOR BURIAL
(Bt Mas W. Pkhber Reeves.)
(wnrrrsv for "the press.")
Some food does appear to be cheaperin Kennington and Lambeth until werealise that it is -also of a worse quality.Food which is of a worse quality is notCheaper, though the price may be less.It is difficult to say whether condensedmilk at lid, 2_d, or 3d per tin is to bebought in the West End, though con-densed milk at 5d and 8d a tin is soldthere. If not, it is only because thoworse quality of milk finds no demandamong well-to-do people. Tho reasonwhy it is sold everywhere in Lambethis that th. women there can only affordthe cheapest. Bread in Lambeth iscnly cheaper because it is not delivered.Tho housewife sends a child or goesherself to tho shop and buys the legalweight. A roll or* a niece of bread cutfrom a large loaf is thrown into thescale to bring the baker's loaf up to thelegal weight. In the West End, wherebread is delivered, it is always shortweight.
Sugar is 2d per round in Kennington,and the samo" sort of suga.r is 2j'd inBayswater, but tho sweetening qualityis not the same. .Meat is to bo boughtcheaper off the barrows on Saturday.light in Lambeth Walk than it is tobe bought in a West End shop. Butthe woman who buys it very often hasto offer so much for a '"piece." Thobarrow man doos not weigh it for her.She judges it by her eye. It has leftthe freezing chamber for ever, and oftenwould not keep till Monday. On Sun-d.iy morning, it she did not take it itwould bo offered again, perhaps at alower price still, on the principle of'This stock mast bo cleared."
Those who wish to pick up "real bar-gains'' in the meat line do it on Sundaymorning off tho barrows in the "Walk."Tho inhabitant of the West End wouldnot buy that meat at that price or anyprice. Much of it is quite sound, butit is of inferior quality, full of, gristleand lacking in taste.
Milk is sold at the same prico inKen-nington and Lambeth as it is in theWest End. But milk is too expensive aluxury for the household on 20s a week,so its price docs not come into the feed-ing scheme of the fomilics dealt with.
The very low grades of tea at Is 4dper pound aro bought in Lambeth andKennington often by the ounce. Apenny an ounce is a common price. Bythe pound tho same tea would sell atIs 2d. A family of father, mother, andsix children might consume 4oz of suchtea in a week, using with it a tin ofcondensed milk at 3d per tin.
THE DUTY OF INSURANCE.Another class of expenditure is life
assurance. The poor are forced to in-sure against burial fees Unless theyare prepare-;! to bo turned into paupers-they must pay for their own funerals.A pauper loses his parliamentary andmunicipal vote and his right to an oldago pension among other disabilities.The expectation of death is verygreat in Lambeth and .Kennington vAny child in a family may die—somechild in a family of six is likely to die.A young child can be buried for about30s; ten shillings to the cemetery com-pany and twenty shillings to the under.taker.. Acoffin which is too long to be stowedUnder the driver's seat needs a hearse..This brings the undertaker's charge up'to something over £4. At a certainage, too, the cemetery fees aro raisedto 15s instead of 10s. ,
The danger of being faced with suchan expense drives the
<decont, sober,
working-man—and this investigation isconfined absolutely to the expenditureof decent, sober workingmen—to makeprovision against"it. Ho therefor© iri-aures each child at a rate of one pennyper week. Ho himself is often insuredfor 2d per week, and the wife for Idor 2d as the case may bo. In case ofdeath the parents stand to receivo a•urn from the insurance company,which quite covers the cost of .the fun-eral.- But this plan works out expen-1sively for tho parents, since in all theIpenny policies examined in this- inves*ligation the money is only recoverableon death. There is no surrender value,and for a default of payment all sumsalready paid in become the propertyof the company. The peculiar diffi-culty of these working people is thatthey are liable to be' put of work atany moment. It is common, then, fortheir policies to lapso, when they loseall their previous savings. If whenthey get work again they take outfresh policies it means beginning allover again and having less, paid themin case of need. A child insuranceagainst burial is an extravagancewhich has to be practised by the poor.The well-to-do • classes are not in thesame position, and are not compelledto Bpend' from one-twentieth to one-sixteenth of thoir incomes in this way.
THE PROS AND CONS,It will be' seen, therefore, that
though it is? possible to live in Lam-beth on 20s a week and even to bringup a family on it, that is not becausecommodious, healthful houses aro to bofound there at low- rents, not .becauseexcellent, satisfying food is . soldcheaply in thoso parts, nor beoausocoal is plentiful and of low price. Thequestion remains—how is it done? Theanswer is simply—by going without.
Out of 20s a Week income, 8s is alarge proportion to pay for rent—overone-third. . What middle-class fatherof a family rw/*uld think himself justi-fied in spending over one-third of hisincome on rent? A working man withsix children very often must spend 8sa week on rent. That this amounts totwo-fifths of *bis income can't bohelped. They must eat the lesg. Homay be the possessor of 25s a week.,inwhich caso 8s is hardly one-third,which is fortunate for him"; and he andhis family can afford to eat a littlemore.. For this one-third of his income itis interesting to see what tho man with|20s or 25s a week gets. There may ■be three rooms. There probably are, jeach about 10ft by 12ft. Ohq is aliving room with kitchen range andperhaps also a copper for the weeklywash. The other two aro bedrooms.

CLOTHED FROM HEAVEN.So much, then, for tho kind of ac-
commodation to bo had by tho Lam-beth householder for that one-third ofhis income. When housed in this un-healthy and uncomfortable manner howdo the family elotho themselves? Usu-ally tho man keeps back a sum of 2s or2s Cd from his wages each week- Thissum pays his fares, if ho cannot walkto his work, buys his tobacco and hisbeer, and clothes him. It is easily seenthat the allowance for drink is not ex-cessive. In two instances our menwalk distances of seven and eight milesto work, and seven and eight mile-back, because they cannot afford thefares. Their boots wear cut quickly,to bo sure, on the hard pavement, butthey manage to re-solo them them-selves. Nearly every Lambeth man cando a littlo boot-mending.

SUMNER NOTES.Owing to the necessity of a larger
building for the Public Library, thecommitteo approached the Council aBhort time back, and asked for the useof a large room over the Counc'l Cham-bers, as it was more central and conve-nient. After some consideration theCouncil acceded to their request, andduring the past week the committeehave been busy transferring the books,haying the shelves put up, and gettingthe place in order.
On Friday evening last a meetingwas called by the Mayor to form aBeautifying Association. There was afair attendance, and it was decided toform an association. Those presentformed a Provisional Committee, tocanvass for support, and to report ata future meeting to be hold on Tuesday,September 12. The committee andofficers will then be elected, and it isto be hoped that great interest will betaken in this movement to plant andbeautify the different spots in - andabout the borough.
The- number of houses that are stillgoing up give a very good indication oftho prosperity of the borough, for dur-ing tho past six weeks permits havobeen issued for the erection of buildingscosting £3000, making £7245 withinfivo months.

CLEAN SPORT.MEETING IN THE EAST BELT
CRtACS..
Tho East Belt Brotherhood recentlyasked two representative Canterburyathletes to give addresses -on " CleanSport," and obtained promises from MrF- T. Evans, the well-known footballrofereo and old player, and Mr T. W.Reese, tho equally well-known cricketer.Tho addresses were given in the EastBelt Wesley Church last evening, be-foro a large gathering of footballeia,cricketers, hockey players, and repre-sentatives of other sports.
Tho chair was occupied by the Rev.C. H. Laws, who briefly introduced thospeakers. Mr Laws said that ho de-sired to emphasise the fact that therewas no necessary antagonism between ',religion and athletics. Thess. things■ought to go hand in hand—a man jshould bo better at athletics if he had;religious conviction*; and principles, andibetter in religion if he bad tho s:undand healthy body of an athlete. Hebelieved tliat there was no countrywhere sport was cleaner than in NewZealand. While there were some thingswhich were not as they should be, hehad more fear for the man who lookedon, and took his athletics by proxy.Erery man should, by indulging msome athletic game seek to cultivave ia sound and healthy' body. . I
Mr Evans gavo a capital address in ja happy conversational way, withoutany attempts at oratorical flights, liereferred to tho influence which s\.ort .had exercised on the national life of jtho people of the world, from the days■of tho early Romans and Groeks down|to tho present- At on© .imp In Eng- jland the people wer© enjoined to;mortify the flesh if they were-to save their souls but that idea hadbeen disnlaocd by the more modern oiihthan in manly athletic sanies th-** peoplelearned much that was useful to andguided them in after life. There, wasa tendency to go in for the professionalgame in this commercial age. If theywanted clean snort they would have toshut out commercialism. He believedthat sport in Christchurch was thecleanest in New Zealand, but there weresome things they had to guard against, iThe desire to win by hook or by crook]should be cut out, as it led some players jto do things which were not "playing Jthe game." He did not think that. oUe;per cent, of their piaycrs gambled on jthe games, but somo of them knew that jtheir friends had money on, and it ledthem to "point" and cheat. A manscharacter could bo toid by the way inwhich he conducted himself on thesports ground. If ho had self-respect,he played with all his heart, but fairlyand honourably. Mr Evans paid a hightribute to the excellent work being doneby primary school teachers in educatingthe young players in true sportsman-ship. His address was illustrated bymany personal recollections and experi-ences, and. though it considerably ex-ceeded tho twenty-minute spell, wasvery enjoyable.
Mr Reese, whose style wasmuch the same as Mr Evans s,pointed out that sport itself was abso-lutely clean, and if anything was wrongit was with the players themselves. Ath-letics formed an integral part of theirnational life, and while Bom©peoplecom-plained that games occupied too great aplace; they could not give anything totaketbeplace ofathletics. The only thingthey could give was military training,which was not going to be successful,because it was to be compulsory. He,referred to the part sport played mthe development of character. Itexacted an iron discipline, as each roanhad to play in his place. Yet it leftroom for unfettered individualism. Iheman who played the game for all hewas worth put forth grim effort, butat tho same timo got great pleasure.The games induced quickness of de-cision, and cultivated most of the fac-ulties to a very considerable degree.One of the most pleasant results ofplaying the gamo was the close and in-timate association it brought about.Th© memory of these gave a pleasurein after life which could not be gotout of business. Athletes, however,should be warned against excess, andthere was a disposition on the partof some to make their game their oneand only topic of conversation. Thereshould also be abstinence from everyunworthy practice in the fields andtheir highest ideals should bo broughtinto their games.
A hearty vote of thanks was passedto the speakers, and also to Messrs F.M. Collins and C. H. Schwartz, whohad contributed vocal solos.

THE WHOLESALE CLUB.MEETING OF CREDITORS.
VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATIONDECIDED UPON
A meeting of creditors in the Whole-sale Club, Ltd., was held in tha\_-_amuor oi \.ouimerce on Saturdaymorning to consider and determine themanner of the winding-up of the Com-pany. Between 40 and 50 creditors werepresent, and many others were repre-sented by proxy.
Mr H. J. Marriner was voted to thechair
Mr -Donaldson represented GeorgeDavies, Ltd., the largest creditor, andmoved a long resolution to the effectthat the creditors favoured tho Com-pany being wound-up voluntarily, be-cause they were satisfied that no fraudhad been committed by the promoters,and further that voluntary liquidationwould be more cxpcditiouß and lessesTonsive.
Mr 0. T. J. Alpers, who representeda creditor, and who acted as counselfor the petitioning creditors in the;_matter now before the Court, ex- 'plained the position at some length. .Ho said that the step taken by the ;petitioning creditors had been taken in jthe interest of the wholo body of credi-tors, nnd was in every way proper, jThe directors had "courted complete;enquiry—inspection invited," but forsomo reason a strong canvass of credi- itors, was made, including tho peti- jtioners, to induce them to abandon jCourt proceedings in favour of volun- 'tary liquidation. Owingto theabsenceofa judge from Ohristchurch, the hearingof the petition, which was lodged earlyin Juno, could not be taken till August7th. In the meantime, a sale of assets jhad realised £2800. It was pointed out 'to creditors that if a voluntary liquida- Ition took place, this money would be javailable for distribution. That state-ment, like many in the prospectus jwas untrue. It was for the presentmeeting to express its opinion whetherthe liquidation of the company shouldbe carried through by tho Court., orwhether it should be liquidated pri-vately. Compulsory winding upwould cause no delay, andthere was tho sum of £2800 which jwould lie available for distribution very 'soon after the necessary order of the |Court had been made. As to the -ex-penses, the sum proposed to bo paid theliquidator was identical with thatcharged by the Court, and theroneed be no undue delay. It was quitepossible that the fullest enquiry mightreveal nothing further than the factthat the rromoters were unduly opti-mistic. Ho (Mr Alners) was* quiteready to believe it, and no on© wouldbe more pleased than he to verify this,because ho had great personal regardfor some of the promoters, and did notforget that they gave evidence of theirbelief in the concern by backing itsbills, but there were matters that call-ed for close investigation, and ho wouldmention three of them. Mr Alpersthen dealt with some of tho statementsin the prospectus, and with the cir-cumstances under which the companywent to allotment.
Several creditors spoke strongly infavour of voluntary winding up« thechief reason being that they were sickot adjournments. The general opinionseemed to be that the Court proceed-ings were dilatory, and that as therewas £2800 awaiting distribution, itwould be better for the creditors totake their share of it.
Messrs Whitenian. Alcorn, G. Davie..J. A. Flesher and A. W. Brailsfordtupported the motion.
This was opposed by Messrs W. HHargraves, F. C. Bishop, P. Selig, andothers, who favoured a public windingup. The promoters themselves, if theyhad nothing to hide, would welcomesuch proceedings.
Mr Flesher, who represented twoDunedin creditors, objected to thewords in themotion "that the creditorswere satisfied thero was no fraud onthe part of the promoters." He sub-mitted that it was a matter on whichthey had no knowledge, and thereforeshould express no opinion.
After further discussion. Mr Donald-son obtained leave to withdraw the mo-tion, and submitted another, affirmingthat the creditors wero in favour ofthevoluntary winding up of the Whole-sale Club, Ltd., on the ground that de-lay would be avoided and expense savedby this course.
This resolution was eventually car-ried, cfeditors representing £8000supporting it, as against the creditorsrepresenting £2000v opposing it. Thelatter included tho petitioning credi-tors, whose claims would be about£1000.
Considerable discussion ensued regard-ing the appointment of liquidators, andthe names of various public accountantswere proposed and rejected in turn.The meeting eventually decided to re-commend the chairman (Mr Marriner)and Mr Karl Joosten, public account-ant, their remuneration not to exceed2§ per cent, on the amount of the as-sets in the hands of the official interimliquidator.

ROTORUA AND TAUPO.A PRIVATE RAILWAY PRO-
JECTED.OPPOSED ON PRINCIPLE
(SPECIAt TO "XHB TKESS.")
* WELLINGTON, August 20.A private company has formulated
a project to construct a railway be-tween Rotorua and Taupo in exten-sion of an existing private line, whichit is proposed to purchase. Strongopposition to tbe scheme has beenraised by the Rotorua Chamber ofCommerce, and the scheme is alreadybeing discussed in Wellington, thoughit is unlikely that any definite actionwill be taken in political circles untilthe company makes some proposals tothe Department of Radways.
The scheme embraces the flotation ofa new company ,to acquire the rail-way interests ot the Taupo-Totara Tim-ber Company, Ltd., which is maintain-ing a nnvate railway from Putarumto Mokai, for tho carriage of timber,"and to extend the existing line throughWairakei to Taupo, a distance of 65miles, in order to exploit both the pas-senger and the goods traffic .of theWairakei and the Taupo districts. Tofacilitate the development of the rail-way into a profitable conoern, to besold eventually to the Government,the company proposes to acquire thehotels at the two tourist resorts, andto purchase an area of 200,000 acresof native lands which would bo im-mediately benefited by the realisationof the scheme. A memorandum, issuedon behalf of the company, states thatprevious efforts havo failed to securetho co-operation of th© Governmentin a joint scheme, or to induce capi-talists to take over and oomplete therailway on a guarantee of 5 per cent,interest on tho total purchase prico "forthe fifteen yearsduring which the oom-pany would work the railway. Thecompany now proposes to apply for anOrder-in-Council authorising tho Taupo-Totara Company to extendifs railwayto Taupo, and to acquire the nativelands, the timber resources of whichwould prove a means of revenue. In-dependent of the settlement of thecountry, it is argued that having au-thorised the construction of the exist-ing lino, tho Crown should not pro-hibit a legitimate extension, since theiinterests of its own system and of thepublic would be safeguarded by a con-dition permitting the Crown to acquiretho property at any time dt a valua-tion, and by limiting tho rate of pro-fit the company may make from therailway business.
Anticipating action by th© companya deputation from tho Rotorua Cham-ber of Commerce, Messrs H. M. Mar-tin, the president, and Dr D. Gardner,tho vice-oresident interviewed.the Min-ister of Public Works, but theinterviewproduced no definite result, as theMinister said there was nothing beforethe Government, and he could makeno statement regarding the matter.The' deputation,urged the constructionof a line between Rotorua and Taupoby the Government, and to this pro-position the Minister replied that theaim of the Government was to com-plete the East Coast Railway. Whenthe whole of the route had been de-termined, tho proposed linking of thetwo tourist routes might be consid-ered. •
WITH THE BISLEY TEAM.(from otto special correspondent.)
BISLEY. July 7.Since writing my last letter r76 have
fired a match against the famous NorthLondon Rifle Club. The team putagainst us was practically an Englishrepresentative one. It comprisedOinmundsen (King's Prize winner, andthis year's Scottish champion), Burr(London Rifle Brigade, also a King'sPrize man),* Fulton (one of the Britishteam that visited Australia, and a verybrilliant shot), Skilton (a silver medalslist), Captain Parnell (a member of theBritish team that visited Australia),Sergeant Anderson (London Scottish,one of the shots of the year),' Lieut-enant Newton and Private Mann (Eng-lish Twenty). Truly a very fine team.Colonel Hughes selected the followingas No. 1 team:—King, James, Love-day, Needham, Frank, Marenri, Coxand Henderson. No. 2 team was,therefore:—Halliday, Roots, Ching,Cuthbertson, Marshall, Hay, Wakelyand Parker. The Conditions were—"Kolapore" Cup ranges, 300, 500, and600 yards, seven shots at each, eightmen aside. The match was a verykeen one. The difference in the styleof the teams was very marked. TheEnglishmen used the sling -round onearm only, and were very deliberateand slow in their firing. The NewZealanders, of course, used the filinground both arms, and fired muchquicker. At 300 yards Krng andJames lead the way with 34, Ching be-ing next with 33. Newton and Par-nell, of the English team, eaoh got on32. The totals at this range were:—New Zealand, No. 1, 250] New Zea-land, No. 2, 248; North London, 247.At 500 yards Sereeant Anderson puton the possible, and quite a number ofall-buts were registered. North Lon-don put on 267, an average of 33. perman out of a possible of 35. The totalsat 500 yards were:—North London,267: New Zealand, No. 1, 265; NewZealand; No. 2, 258. This "gave a leadof one point onljrto New Zealand, No.1, the totals being, New Zealand, No.1, 515; North London, 514; New Zea-land, No. 2, 606. At 600 yards a greatbattle ensued. New Zealand, No. 2,came along at a great pace, and whenthe first four men had finished, hadmade up their points on the NorthLondon team, and were only a pointbehind New Zealand, No. 1. With thebest four men down it was a*Very ex-citing finish. New Zealand, No. 1,put up 252, and North London 250.This left New Zealand, No. 1, threepoints in the lead. Hay and Halliday,of New Zealand, No. 2, with one shoteach to go, required'two "bulls" towin the match. Hay fired, and upcame the "bull." All now dependedon the very last shot of the match.Halliday was.rather long-in getting itaway, but on the second attempt fired,and, amidst great suspense, up came a"magpie." . The shot had gone highover the "bull." New Zealand, No.2, therefore, put up 260, an averageof 32f per man. ' Tlie final scoreswere:—New Zealand, No. 1. 767; NewZealand. No 2. 766: North London,7-31. It was a splendid match. Chingand Cox each scored a possible at 600yards, as did Fulton, of North London.Fulton, Ching, and Captain King eachgot.a total of 100 out of 105.. In-com-paring their scores it should be remem-bered that they were made on the re-duced targets. The New Zealandscore was only 13 points behind the"Kolanore" record, and, in the opinionof the Englishmen, was, in the alteredconditions, equal to it.

SATURDAY'S GAMES.CANTERBURY (26) v. MAORI TEAM(NIL). I
The match between tbe Maori team,at present touring the Dominion, andCanterbury, which was played at Lan- ]caster Park on Saturday afternoon,attracted a good attendance of the pub- jlie, the takings amounting to £196 4s.From the spectator's point of view,■the weather was beautiful, though the
? layers, possibly, found it somewhat on jhe warm side. The game resulted inan easy win for tho homo team,but it was obvious that theMaoris were feeling the strain oftoo much travelling. Tho Can-terbury forwards early asserted theirsuperiority over their opponents, andthe result was that their backs hadElenty of chances. It cannot bo said,
owover, that the display of the Can-terbury rearguard was altogetherconvincing. Burns, at second five-eighth, proved altogether too difficultto follow, and tho three-quarter linein consequence was cramped in its op-portunities.
Tlio teams were:—Maoris (redand black); Full-back, Hughes (Mana-watu); three-_qunrters, Ryland (PovertyBay), Rawiri (Horowhenua), Parohiwi(Hawke's Bay); five-eighths, Erekann(Poverty Bay) and Kaipara (PovertyBay); half, Piki (North Canterbury) •forwards, wing, Small (Southland.,Dawson (.HawkeV Bay), Cochrnno(Auckland), Moana (Wairnrapa), Taka-irangi (ear-tain) (Wanganui), Makahnri(HawkeVßiv). French (Bay of Plenty)and Huria (North Canterbury).
Canterbury, (white): Full-back. A.E.Doell; three-quarters, D. Guthrie, A. R.Jacobson. R. Pvle; five-eighths, P. J.Burns, G. D. Gray: half-back. H. M.
■Taylor; forwards, wine. H. V. Murray,T Carroll,E. Hasell. W. J. Morgan, J.Auld, L. Oram, A. Morris, and 'fBain.
Canterbury won the toss, and Taka-rangi. lacked off for the Maoris fromthe South end. An exchange of kicks |took play to the Reds' twenty-five, andMurray, following up smnrtly in a looserush, snapped up the hall near the lineand scored an easy try. Guthriefailed to improve tlie score, althoughthe kick was almost straight in front.
Canterbury 3, Maoris 0.Almost immediately after the kick-
out, the Canterbury backs got to work,and passing between Tjiylor, Gray, andGuthrie let the last-named over at thocorner. Doell kicked a fine goal.
Canterbury 8, Maori 0.The resumption of play saw tho
Reds making a brief effort, but a longkick by Gray soon had thoplay back. A free kick gave thoReds somo relief,* but -the Canterburyforwards were securing the ball in thescrums, and Taylor set his backs going.Burns, taking a difficult pass well, madea fine run, but attempted to go toofar; and then shot a wild pass in-field,which 'Murray was unable- to reach.The Whites wer© having all tho best,of the play, and throw the ball aboutfreely, but offside play spoilt a verylikely chance.. The Reds were keptpenned in their own quarters, and froma scramble on the line; Oram forced hisway over near tho Corner. Doellkicked another good goaf.
Canterbury 13, Maoris 0From the kick-off, Taylor secured pos-session, and after a short run, passed
to Bain, who was too slow in passing,and was tackled in "possession. TheReds then livened up, and as the re-sult of, long kicking by their backs,Canterbury had to, force-down, this be-ing the firtt time the ball had beenpast the home twenty-five. Canterbury-were soon attacking again, and Hugheswas in trouble, hut a knock-on checkedthe Whites' effort. From a mark-byPiki. Huria had a shot at goal, but hiskick was charged, and the ball wenton* near the centre. The Whites,however, were quickly back in theiropponents' twenty-five, Taylor being!>romiuent for some dashing work; Aoose rush a moment later let Auld
over near the goal, and Morris addedthe extra points.
Canterbury' 18, Maoris 0.Loose forjvard play gave.the Reds
some anxiety, but 'they cleared ' theirline well, only to see Jacobson regainthe lost ground by a good run. Soundkicking by Piki saved .his side, butTaylor secured possession near theecntre, and kicked hard down the field,Hughes having to force. A few min-utes later Piki injured' his knee, andRatima took his place, though he to.decidedly lame. A period ofslow play followed, but at . length along kick was badJy misjudged by Doell,and the Reds were awarded a free kick.Rawiri made a good but unsuccessfulshot at goal, and half-time was thencalled. .; "
In the second half Makahuri retired,and his place was taken by Ormond,while T. Tainui replaced Erekana. Theopening of tbe play was marked by anattack by the Canterbury forwards, butthe Reds saved by forcing. Followingthe kick-out the Reds livened up, andRawiri started a rush, which taxed theCanterbury defence. The Redsendeavoured _to open up thogame, but their combination was atfault, and the tackling was too sound.The Whites gradually drove their op-ponents back to their twenty-five, anda pas-dug rush sent the ball out toGuthrie, who was tackled at the corner.From a line-out the ball was knockedback by Bain to Hasell, who hadthrown it in, and the latter ran to theline, with Pyle in attendance, the wingthree-quarter scoring at the corner.Doell's kick at goal was unsuccessful.
Canterbury 21, Maoris 0.The Maoris were kept on the defen-
sive, Murray heading a rush that wasstopped just in time. With play in hisown twenty-five, Kaipara broke right'through the Canterbury team, and ran |to Doell, who tackled him safely. A 'strong attack by the Canterbury backs'was quickly turned into a counter it-tack by Rawiri cutting off a pass, buthis kick was marked by1)oell, and playwas back in the Maoris' halt. Frenchbroke* away from ' a line-out, «withHuria in attendance, the latter, kick-ing into*"touch near tne Whites'twenty-five. For a brief space' theReds held their opponents, but as theresult of fast following up Bainsmothered a kick by Hughes, and* wasleft with a clear field and the ball overbis opponents' line, scoring an easytry. Ho took the kick himself, andlanded a goal.
Canterbury 26, Maoris 0.The Beds followed the kick-off with
some spasmodic attempts at attack,bitthey were unable to sustain them, andwhen the game ended a few minuteslater. Canterbury wer© right on theReds goal-line. The final score was-
Canterbury, 26 points (four toalsfrom tries and two tries).
Maoris 0.--Mr F. T. Evans was referee.

WHY •• C. A. C" CARTRIDGESARE BEST
—' ' v*> '■
There is a continuous flood of em-phatic testimony to the quality of■C.A.C." Cartrivlges, and there are nocomplaints to set against the general: satisfaction. Mr Gordon Butler, of
t-Tokaanu, Lake Taupo. writes: ''The; ammunition sent is very reliable and', effective and seems very easy indeed on. tho gun It does not kick at all. though1hitting as hard, and a good deal harder,jthan many makes of repute."j Then we have Mr J. Steedman, ofjWaihi, who writes:—"I wish to state. that, the first time' 1 used your car4:[ ridges I shot seven pheasants arid twopigeons out of ten Bhots. I.used both
j No. 5 and No. 6 shot and consideredj the result very satisfactory. I might! also state that I Was only shootingj"about three hours and over rough coun-Jtry. The day I left, I shjDt three phea-sants out of four shots, and--one of thebirds I secured with No. 8 shot."
About the samo time came a wordfrom Mr Charles R. Barnes, of Wai-rangi: "1 havo ntuch pleasure in stat-ing the good results obtained with yourcartridges. Once I killed three rab-bits with one 'shot,' and I have killedtwo with one shot on several occasions.I have never had one cartridge misfire,and I recommend them to others as apleasure to use." It should b© notedthat th© C.AC, cartridge Mr Barnesusually selects is "Favourite," with No.4 shot.
Of especial interest to pigeon shots isthe testimony of Messrs Long Brothers,«.f M*tamata. "The C.A.C. Cartridgi-sdid th© best shooting at the local pigeontraps at the last Snoot, and we .shou'dlike to see your cartridges used atfuture Shoots-''It is to De remarked that this un-
solicited testimony is all fmin keenmen of business and expert marksmen,who speak lrom full experience, and
•who have no special connection w.tbor special interest in the Colonial Am-munition Company. They merely writein this way because they have learnedthat ''C.A.C " Cartridges are the bestin this market. They are the best be-muse they are the freshest and surest,the cleanest, quickest, and safest. Theyare not only generally satisfactory"__they always satisfy. Their ignition isimmediate, their penetration unfailing.Tht.y sre made in grades and qualitiesto meet every possible requirement ofthe farmer, the amateur, and the sports-man.

AMUSEMENTS.
THE ROUND-UP.Though tho previous record of Mr
Edmund Day is unknown, one feels surethat he broke it when he wrote "TheRound-Up,'' a tale of Arizona. Know-ing hoxr street-bred people love to thinkthat they would like free life and freshair. he *jet his puppets to work out theiridestinies in open spaces. He achieved! melodrama. Ho produced the atmo-jsphere which is suggested when "Laska"|is declaimed by a gramophone. And thejgallery loves him for it; •'The Round-| up" must bo delightful to many.Bronchos and sombreros, ropes and;•'guns," the stealing of cattle, the mur-der of men, 'iquor and lynchings—alltheso art- in the play, and to them isadded the inevitable "heart interest."Giving: to superfluity of plot, tlie tale
■is difficult to*re-tell; but we will makean attempt. Seven minutes after thecurtain rises. Buck McKoc, a "bad manfrom Badvillo," murders and robs OldMan Tcrrill, the postmaster, who isholding three thousand .'io!iars for .SlimHoover, the sheriff. Bud Lane comes
along after the event, and McKeeforces half tho spoil upon him, appar-ently in return tor his immoral sup-port. Beforo the curtain rose. EchoAllen was engaged to Bud Lane's bro-ther Jack, reported killed by Indianswhile in debt to Jack Payson, who. attho opening ol tho play, is about tomany her. Payson knows what shedoes not, that Jack Lane is alive andwealthy, and ho doesn't tell her. Theiupposod corpse turns up outside thehouse during the wedding ceremony,which Payson delays long enough to gethack ihe amount of his loan. Thefather of the girl, the only other per-son to see Jack Lane, gives him thestrength of the situation, and Jack goesoff to tho desert again. Presently thevillain accuses Payson of the murder,and to clear himself in'his wife's eyes,preferring that she should know him tobo a liar than believe him to be a mur-derer, he tells her all. She sends him totho desert to find the other man. Holeaves at once, breaking his parole. Inthe desert he finds him, about to avoiddying by thirst through being killed byIndians. "Whilo thoy arguo as towhich shall go home, the Indians com-mence tho fight. Shoulder to shoulderthe rivals lot off their revolvers untiltho arrival of help, led by the sheriff.Lane is really dead by that time, sothoy take tho husband home. Just asthe party arrive, tho villain is stabbedby a lesser villain, and, as ho bleeds todeath, tells tho sheriff the whole story,returning him the money stolen in thobeginning. Tho sheriff lends this toBud Lane, the accomplice after the fact,who is engaged to Polly Hope, whomtho sheriff loves, and by whomho has been rejected. Husbandand wifo aro reunited. If Ari-zona is like tho scenery tho deadmen aro well out of it, so it may bopresumed that all are happy. The idearemains that cartridges muitt be veryexpensive thereabouts, for nothing hap-pens to those who kill, yet men seemmor© caper to talk to and point "guns"at their enemies than to shoot them. Itis all very incomprehensible. Mr HenryCoapc. as tho had man, played nearlyas well as Mr Kenneth Brampton, thesheriff. The melodrama will be re-peated to-night.

CASUAL RAILWAYHANDS.
THE GOVERNMENTS POLICYMr Nosworthy, M.P., asked the Min-ister of Railways, last week, what steps
the Government intended to take tocarry out the promise made by Sir W.Hall-Jones that casual hands on therailways .vhi had had continuous ser-vice without a break for five yearsshould be placed on tho permanent list.
Tho Minister's reply was: —Allcasuals who wero eligible under thoRailway Regulations have been out onth.c permanent staff from time to timeas opportunity offered. The RailwayDepartment having become a classifiedDepartment interms of the GovernmentHallways Classification Act, 1886, em-ployment in the Department was gov-erned entirely by the provisions of theAct and the regulations made by the.Gover-or-in-Couucil under the authorityof that Act, which is now incorporatedin the Government Railways Act, 1908.The regulations mado under the Gov-ernment Railways Act provide that allpersons placed on tho permanent .staffof the Department muse comply withcertain conditions in respect to age,height, health, sight, and education.'Ihese qualifications have been essentiallrom the outset. Whenever th© exigen-cies of tho Department have necessi-tated the employment of additionalhands to meet emergencies, casual staffbands have been engaged. While thebusiness of the Department in-creased, and urgent demands ne-cessitated tho carrying out ofa considerable rolling-stock pro-gramme and the extension of otherappliances, a large number of casualhands, who were taken on temporarilyfor terms varying according to thenature of their trade or employment,wero retain-. 1 in th.. service often for aperiod considerably in excess of that forwhich it was expected they would belequircd when originally engaged. Inso far as tho workshops' staff is con-cerned, tho Department has for someyears past regularly placed on tho per-manent staff a certain number of thosopersons comprising tho casual staff wh_*were eligible under tho Railway Regula-tions at tho timo they joinedthe casual staff. For the pur-pose of rinding employment for a9many men -vs practicable tho agorestriction was not applied to men en-gaged for casual work. It therefor©ihappened that a considerable numberof men, who wore totally ineligible foremployment under the ordinary regula-! tions, wero given work that they badlyneeded, and, in many cases, tho periodof their regular casual employmentcovered several yeans. The men con-cerned were, however, from the outsetfully cognisant of th© fact that thoywere inoligiblo for pecrmancnt employ-ment under the regulations, and couldnot, thereforo, bo placed on tho per-manent staff. All the men who weroeligible under tho regulations in opera-tion, nnd \.ho.-ie services wore per-manently required had been placed or.the permanent staff. Men who couldnot fulfil tho conditions of tho regula-tions and who wero ineligible at thotime they entered tho service, could notbo placed on tho permanent staff. Ihavo on more than one occasion lookedclosely into this matter, and find thattho literal fulfilment of the promisecould not bo carried into effect withoutdirectly contravening tho regulationsof tho Department, which havo been inoperation for many years, and this, forobvious reasons, I am not prepared todo nor to authorise. Moreover, th©Civil Sen-ice Act, under which tern--porary hands in tho Civil Service weredealt with, specially exempts tho Rail- |way Department from its operations.Casual hands employed in the RailwayDepartment, and who are eligible underIthe regulations will, as heretofore, beplaced on tho permanent staff as va-\cancies occuir and their services can beutilised. Men who aro ineligible cau-not, however, be placed on the per-' 1manent staff, and if it is to bo estab-lished as a principle th,_t all casualsmust be put on the permanent staff,then tho Department will have to adopttho hard and fast rulo of rejecting forcasual employment of any kind everyperson who fails to come up to the re-gulation requirements in respect tocither ago, height, education qnalifi-1cations, etc., and it is obvious that thoadoption of a practice such as thiswould inflict very great hardship on a!considerable number of casual men whohavo hitherto been employed in theDepartment steadily as regular casuals,and in turn the wives and families ofthese men would also suffer."
CORRESPONDENCE.
THE DOMAIN BOARD ANDLINCOLN ROAD.
TO THE EniTOR OF "THE FnSSS."Sir,—I should ho pleased to.know
whether the Domain Board has takenany steps towards carrying into effecttho suggestions of the BeautifyingSociety that tho present fence be re-moved and a new fence bo erected in-side the second row of trees of that partof th© South Park which faces Lincolnroad.
One of the most delightful walks inCbristehurch during summer is alongAntigua street from Armagh street tothe Boatsheds, and if tho suggestion oftho Beautifying Society were giveneffect to, Christohurch would possess~abeautiful promeuade stretching fromMoorhouse avenue to Park terrace,truly a fitting approach to the DomainGardens.
Lincoln.* road is daily traversed byhundreds of pedestrians on their way toand from the city, and to theseth© longshady walk from Moorbouso avenue totho Hospital corner would prove agrateful boon during th© hot summerdays. At present tho only shady pathis a bicycle track, tho path inside thoPark being usually frequented by un-desirablecharacters, who are a constantmenace to the safety of ladies andyoung children. Tho erection of thesuggested fence would afford pedes-trians an open view of the Park, andparents could let their children enjoythemselves therein, without fear ofmolestation., 1 hop© the Domain Beard will decideto push forward the erection of thisfence, and thereby confer a threefoldbenefit upon the citizens of Christ-church.—Yours, etc.,

CHRISTCHURCH NORTHELECTION.
TO THE EllllOß l>» "THE PRESS."Sir,—Not being an elector in the
Christchurch North constituency, Iwould heartily like to con-gratulate Mr Hall upon tliosplendid up-hill battle which fin-ished yesterday. Most men and wo-men, surely, after seeing the results andthe voting at different booths, if fair,will agree that had prohibition andsentiment for the late member beenkept apart from true politics, or outofthe contest, tho verdict would certainlyhave been in favour of a change in thepresent Government. I may say 1haveno interest in Mr Hall, and do notknow him personally, but I shouldstrongly recommend him to have an-other go for Christchurch .North, andin the interval try to devise some meansof getting the hundreds to the poll inNovember next who did not vote 3*B--terday. In conclusion, my own ideais that it is timo something was doneto separate the liquor question frompolitics.-Yours, etc.,
