CHAPTER XIV.VISITORS AT LAIXSWOOB.

A tokel working at a hedge looked upas he heard himself hailed from the road-way, where three riders, two ladies and agentleman, had come to a standstill.

"Hi. my man, do you know. LainswoodManor?"

" Yes, your honour, know it well, I do."" Where is it?""Born in these parts, I was. more'n

fifty years ago, it 'ud be strange if I didn'tknow Lainswood Manor. Come to that,you might havo asked anyone along theroad hereabout*, and he would have toldyou."

"Well, where is it?""It be yonder," the man answered,

pointing to a zig-zag path up the side ofthe down." Ik that the only way to it?" asked one

of the ladies." It's the nearest; but there's the road,

if you like. You'll find a turn behind thatclump of trees yonder."

The man caught the coin thrown tohim, and the riders went on.

The day was fine, but cold. There hadbeen frost in the morning, and then asprinkling of snow, which lingered in theshelter of the hedges." You seem very anxious to see this

Manor of Lainswood, Diane."" I am rather curious. I have heard

a great deal about it. Being in the neigh-bourhood. I want to take the opportunityof. satisfying that curiosity."

"Is it historical?"" No, Mr. Wharton; I think not. It

belongs to Sir Anthony Seymour. Livingin the same county, you must know some-thing about him," Lady Sophia."

" Oh, yes ; I have heard of the Sey-mours, but nothing particularly interest-ing, I think, and nothing at all about theirhome."

"What have you heard about the Sey-mours?" asked Diane.

"That their pockets were so shallowit was a marvel they were able -to keepup even such a place at Lainswood."

"That seems to do away with all in-terest either in the house or in its owner,"laughed Wharton. «

" Gin a poor man never be interesting,then?.' asked Diane.

"Nob often to a rich one, I fancy," wasthe answer; "and we arc likely to meetwith a cold reception for intruding. Suchmen are usually full of shifts to hide theirpoverty.")

" We shall encounter nobody more for-midable than servants, or perhaps an aus-tere housekeeper," said Diane. "SirAnthony was grievously wounded at Oude-narde more than eight months ago, andis still abroad."

"At Oudenarde ?'* said Lady Sophia."Was not his name mentioned in theGazette?"

"Yes. I believe he behaved gallantlythat day."

"Or it pleased my Lord of Marlboroughto say so," Lady Sophia returned.

"What do you mean?""My dear Diane, when you come to

visit in the country you assume all the airsof a miss who has never seen the town.I am remembering quite a lot about SirAnthony Seymour; but it must be stalenews to you, since you evidently know somuch about him."

"I assure you I know very little beypndwhat he has told me himself.""Innocent person!" laughed Lady

Sophia. "And I hardly dare to tell youanything, since to hear* scandal about theMarlboroughs seems to hurt you so much.""If it did, I should be

*

bruised fromhead to foot. What is there new to tell?""I did not say it was new ; but I have

heard that Sir Anthony is so deeply inthe Duke's confidence that the Marl-boroughs would be in a strange positionwere ho to betray them."

" The story is all over town," saidWharton. "It was the common talk ofthe coffee-houses and taverns at Christmas-time.""That would not necessarily make it

true, would it?" said Diane. "I doassure you I have heard some strangethings about myself • before now, born inthe imagination of some wine-spiller in atavern. Pray tell mo the story, LadySophia."

"It is a common whisper that bribesfrom the French King have governed HisGrace's plan of campaign, or Lille wouldhave sooner "surrendered," said LadySophia; " and it is freely declared thatSir Anthony Seymour is the go-between.Surely you must have heard the scandal,Diane?"

" I think yours is a new version of it."was the answer. " T wonder what SirAnthony Seymour would say to it."

" It might be interesting to ask him,"said Wharton.

"When he returns, why don't you?''asked Diane.

" I meant that you should ask him."I "Perhaps I will. He would hardlybid me to meet him in Leicester Fields orBehind Montagu House."

"A palpable hit, Mr. Wharton." laughedLady Sophia."At least, the story makes me more

curious than over to see the home of sucha desperate adventurer," said Diane, put-ting her horse into a canter. "Thoseshould be tho chimneys of it peepingthrough the .trees yonder."

The story was not new to mademoiselle,but she had not heard Sir Anthony sodefinitely associated with it before. AfterOudenarde, the joy for the victory had theeffect of keeping the Duke's enemies quietfor a while, but a few weeks had servedto mako them active again. It was easyto talk of the immense cost of the war andof the small advantage accruing to Eng-land ; and. since he was so mighty a sol-dier,, could not Marlborough do 'more ifho chose? His known meanness presenteda ready peg on which to hang a sugges-tion of bribery; and there were plentyof men who might be made tools of. SirAnthony was one of the number. Dianethought she might ask him the questionsome day.

They came presently to the great irongates, and went along the drive, whichswept round an oval lawn."A large place for a poor man." .said

Wharton. " and charming enough to makean adventurer of him if his pockets couldbe filled in no other way."

"It is difficult nowadays to credit aman with any conscience* or sense ofhonour." said Diane, "but it is just pos-sible that Sir Anthony's hands may boclean, isn't it?"

She used the expression without thoughtor hesitation, and only the-moment afterTemembered why she used it. Sevmourhad told her of the arms in the windowat Lainswood—of the. white gauntlet andthe motto. A desire to see that windowhad brought her riding this way to-dav.Something in her manner made LadySophia glance at Wharton, who emiled.

"Is Monsieur Sauveron in London,Diane?" she asked, suddenly ; and shewatched her companion's face closely.

"Ho was when I left town a monthago. I have had no word of him since."

An old man came to the door, who, totheir inquiry whether the house could besef.n, answered by calling in a shrill voicefor a groom to attend the, horses." Your master would not object?" asked

Diane. ,"No, my lady."A tire was burning on the great open

hearth in the hall." Indeed, that has a welcoming look,"

said Diane, pointing to it."Yes, my lady; and so intended, Ithink, for whether the house be full orempty, there is always a fire there inwinter time. It is a 'custom of Lains-wood.'.'"A very delightful one." said LadySophia, crossing to the hearth."You may tell your master, when hereturns, that Lady Sophia Radcliffe, Mr.Whairkm, and Mademoiselle de Mornaycame to look at Lainswood," said Diane.

"Av. the wars; and wounded ho was,mv laßy-nigh killed. What we said was,pet him back to Lainswood; hell sooiimend. Nothing like his own country andhis own homo to set up his health, that awhat we said; but it seems ho was souseful against the French, they couldn bspare him."

„ ~_.

"He is fond of his home," said Diane-,," Then you know my master, my lady,

said the old man, looking keenly at her." Yes." ,

"Well-nigh killed in the wars, ho was;and that would have been a bad dayfor us at Lainswood. This is the hall, mylady—very fine it is, I have heard it saidbv those "who know all about such things.I came here as a boy Sir Anthony's grand-father's time, it was, and my father wasin his service. Big Coppleston and LittleCoppleston, tho master used to call us.That's my name, my lady. There's hispicture, and hero I be—Big Coppleston,now, and the only one. That pictureyonder is Sir Anthony's father, Sir JamesSeymour, a fine gentleman, but too open-handed, they say—though I think it musthave been more outside the house thanin it."

," I see no picture of Sir Anthony, said

Diane."No, my lady, no. Somehow a Seymour

never seems to hang upon the walls ofLainswood until his body's in the church-yard. I don't know how i* is, except thatno one wants to look at a picture so longas they can see the real man. You knowSir Anthony, so I needn't tell you he's a.fine gentleman—not many to equal him inLondon, I warrant."

Wharton laughed at the old man's en-thusiasm. He was standing a little apartwith Lady Sophia, but was listening to theconversation."I should be prepared to swear to that,"

said the old man, " though it isn't likelyLondon folk understand a fine gentlemanas we do in the country."

"My good fellow, it is well known thatmost of us in town are foois."

"Indeed, sir; I didn't know it was asbad as that, but I can well believe it. I'vebeen to town onceyears ago, it wasandit's true I saw more fools there in an hourthan I've seen all my life in Hampshire."

"Another palpable hit, Mr. Wharton,"whispered Lady Sophia. " You must im-prove your wit if you are to be a matchfor a maid of honour or an old Hampshireretainer."

" The country's beginning to be proudof the master, "so we hear," the old manwent on, turning again to Diane.

" And, of course, you all rejoice.""That is so, my lady.""And that window "

"Those are the arms of the family,"said Coppleston. "They say the first, Sey-mour was one of the few of his time worthyto wear a white gauntlet, meaning thathe was honourable to friend and foe. Themotto means ' With clean hands.' They'rean old family, and I won't go so far asto say they've all lived up to that, butI know of no ugly story behind them,and there are not many families whohaven't something to hide.''

"Very few," said Diane.■ She was looking up at the window at

the head of the stairs, one hand restingon the banisters. Seymour had said shewould understand if she could be in thehall of Lainswood; and, partly, she did.There was something wonderfully genuinein this old servant's enthusiasm for hismaster; there must be something in themaster to warrant it. Even to-day therewere few enough worthy of the whitegauntlet. Was Sir Anthony? If he were,surely it were well to have him for afriend—a man who might be dependedupon in the hour of need. Bat why theseTumours about him? Was he importantenough to have such desperate enemiesthat they would lie and make a traitorof him in order to compass his ruin? Ifa chance offered, she would certainly ques-tion him." You speak of the men. What of the

women of the familv?" she said, turningto the old man. "I am interested in thewomen."

"They were honest wives and mothers,my lady, and some of them ranked asbeauties. I know naught against any ofthem."

'• Is that, all you can. say of them?"laughed Diane.

"Why, my lady, in there anythingbetter to say!"

"Was there no heroine amongst them?No matron who defended her home in theabsence of her lord? maid who, forher lover's sake, ran into peril and savedhim? Have you no such tale as that?1'" I would I had, my lady, if it would

please you; but no—there is nothing; ofthe kind. Mistress Letitia— that picturetherecame near to her death in BloodyMary's time, I liave heard; but why orhow. Ido not know. The ladies of Liiins-wood have been just ordinary poodwomen. Can one say better of them thanthat?""Perhaps not. Which is Sir Anthony's

mother ?"

"It used to hang there. Very beautifulshe was, my lady, and we loved her thefirst day Sir James brought her home. Ihope to live to bow. to the new mistressSir Anthony will bring one day to Lains-wood." i

"Who is she?" Diane asked quickly."That I cannot tell, nor could Sir An-

thony himself," chuckled Coppleston."But it's early days yet, and in London—well, maybe, he'll find her in Hamp-shire. It's a county where the maids growwondrous pretty, my lady."

"What has been done with the pictureof Sir Anthony's mother ?""When he became master he had it

taken down and hung in his own room.".' " Can I see it ?"

"I fear, my lady, it—""If you will permit, mademoiselle, I

will show it to you myself."Diane turned quickly, with a little cry

of astonishment and confusion."Sir Anthony ! I thought—""I returned to England only a few

days since, and have come home to resta little. You may have heard that I wassomewhat grievously hurt at Oudenarde,and since my recovery there has beenmuch to do abroad."

Diane was annoyed that he should findher at Lainswood; it seemed to show aninterest in him and his affairs which Rhewould not have him think she felt. Shewas more annoyed still that she shouldmeet him under the eyes of Lady Sophiaand Mr. Wharton, who were both fondof gossip, and could make a story out ofthe very slightest materials.

'

Rathercoldly, she made her friends known tohim." We were riding in the neighbourhood,

and—""And honoured Lainswood," said Sey-

mour. " You are all most welcome.Kit!"At the. summons Mr. Christopher Wavnecame into the hall. He and his host hadheard the visitors, and kept out of theirway on purpose."Mr. Wayne is good enough to keep

me company," Seymour went on. "Doubt-less you have read some of his verses,mademoiselle I tell him he might perlan epic here, but he is a lazy fellow, andseems to fancy his sole duty is to amuseme."

"We have certainly met in town. Mr.Wayne," said Wharton."And I have been near to tears oversome of your verses." said Lady Sophia."Heaven grant it was not"over thosewhich were meant to be humorous."laughed Wayne."Will you come and see my mother's

picture, mademoiselle ?"

EDUCATION NOTES.

BY, MENTOR.

Owing to the recent controversy in localeducational circles over the question ofmen versus women for the higher as-I'Stantshipa in our public schoolis, muchinterest has been taken in the election ofirepresentatives to the annual conference ofthe New Zealand Educational Institute,to be held in January next at New Ply-mouth. Quite a number, of "tickets"were issued. There was a "woman'sticket," a "country teachers' ticket," a"male assistants' ticket," and possiblyothers. The various "tickets" were soconflicting that no one could forecast withany degree of certainty, what the out-come would be. The result, as declaredby the scrutineers on Saturday last, iscertainly surprising, for not a singlewoman has been elected. And yet womenoutnumber the men in the profession.

At first fight it would seem that thegreat majority of women teachers do notendorse the a'ggre.«sive stand taken up bythe executive of the Women Teachers' As-sociation. Most certainly they have notgiven general support to those of theirown sex who stood for election; while onecandidate, who was excluded from thewomen's ticket, has come out very highup on. the list of those elected. On theother hand, it may be pointed out thata majority of those elected are in sym-pathy with the claim made by the womenthat'the position of second assistant shouldbe thrown open to competition, and thatthe applicant who stands highest on thegraded list should be appointed, irrespec-tive of sex.

The explanation is probably this: Thatthe teachers, as a whole, have refused tobe bound by any " ticket," but havevoted straight out for those candidates,who, in their own opinion, will mostworthily represent them at the "Teachers'Parliament." It is, however, a matterfor regret that no women representativeshave been elected. By virtue of theirwork and of their numbers, women arefairly entitled to representation. Amongthose who stood for election were severalwomen who would worthily hold their ownin any conference, and their exclusion willprove a distinct loss.

It is announced that one of the Auck-land representatives, Mr. T. U. Wells,M.A., has had the high honour conferredupon him of being elected unopposed tothe presidency of the New Zealand Edu-cational Institute for the ensuing year,1913-14. Mr. Wells has long taken' anactive part in local educational affairs.He has served for many years on the exe-cutive of the local institute, he was fortwo years its president, while more re-cently he served on the Royal Commissionon Education. He has now had corferredupon him the highest honour that it; is inthe power of his fellow teachers of theDominion to bestow.

The annual report on higher educationfor 1911, has just been issued, and fromit I take the following paragraph on thework of the affiliated colleges:—" Therewere 1776 students actually in attendanceat the four university colleges, an in-crease of 57 over the number for the pre-vious year. Of these 74 were graduates,1245 were undergraduates, and 457 wereunmatriculated students. In addition tothe matriculated students mentioned abovethere were 124 students attached to thevarious university colleges, but exemptfrom lectures—that is, they were pre-vented by distance or by the necessity ofearning their livings from attending lec-tures at the college, but were allowed tokeep terms, except in certain science andprofessional subjects, by passing the an-nual college examination. It is evidentthat, as these students do not come intodirect contact with college life, the pos-session of a degree in their case possessesan entirely different significance from thatin the case of students who actually at-tend the University. They can hardly beconsidered University students, in thestrict sense of the term, since the onlyfunction of the University in their case isto examine their work and grantdiplomas."

It will be remembered that the. Uni-| versity reform party, in their crusade

[ against the present system of externalexaminers for university degrees, obtainedopinions from a number of outside authori-ties on the value, of: external as opposedto internal examinations. One of 'the au-thorities to whom appeal was made Pr-ofessor Ramsay, of University College,London—was very uncomplimentary inhis remarks on the standard of work atthe New Zealand University. He wrote :

The standard is not maintained. Thereis no standard, and your degrees aro ofabsolutely no value in Europe.," Thiscriticism is replied to by Mr. J. C. Adams,chairman of the Canterbury College Boardof Governors, in the annual report forlast year. Mr. Adams says: "This state-ment (of Professor Ramsay) was made incontradiction* to the assertions of thosewho wished to maintain the present sys-tem of external examiner's, and who as-serted that (1) the standard is maintained,(2) the teaching is stimulated by the out-side examinations, and (3) the value ofthe decree is greatly enhanced. Such astatement might do a great deal of harmand cause many to believe that the recog-nition of the New Zealand degree by theolder universities was merely an act ofcourtesy, and that such recognition wasnot based on a high standard of work."

"Fortunately," continues Mr. Adams,'' I have been able to obtain the opinionsof examiners who are well acquaintedwith the papers done by students in Eng-land, and also with those done by studentsin New Zealand, and are able to speakwith authority, as they examine in one orother of the Home universities and alsofor the New Zealand degree. They areas follows —Professor Tout, of Man-chester University, says of the papers sub-mitted to him :

' I cannot speak too highlyof the solid excellence of the pass work.'Mr. B. H. Leonard, 8.C.L., wrote of thepapers he examined in 1906: 'The workgenerally has left a most favourable im-pression on my mind, and I think it fullyreaches the standard of work in our prin-cipal English universities.' In 1909 lis re-marked :

' The pass papers compare veryfavourably with those of English univer-sities.' In 1910,he reported: 'In bothsubjects the candidates, on the whole, ap-pear to me to compare not unfavourablywith the candidates in our English uni-versities, particularly as regards the workon the pass papers.' Concerning the workhe examined last year Mr. Leonard wrote:' New Zealand is to be congratulated onthe solidarity in thought, reading andwriting, which it maintains with much ofthe best work which is being done in theuniversities at Home, and on its famili-arity with the best and most recent litera-ture, which deals critically and scien-tifically with the subjects.' "

"Professor Bastable, of Trinity College,Dublin, wrote of the papers that lie ex-amined in 1910: 'The work of the candi-dates certainly compares favourably withthe work done in most British universi-ties.' Professor Strong, of Liverpool Uni-versity, reported in 1910: ' The standardis quite as good as at any Home univer-sity, except perhaps in the best honours,for which more time ought to be given;'and last year he wrote: ' The standard forthe pass seems to me more satisfactory inthe University of New Zealand than inour local universities.'""

"Other references," says Mr. Adams,"that might be quoted are not so directin their wording, but still are such as topoint out that a high standard is requiredin New Zealand, and while such a stan-dard is maintained we need have no fearof the value of external examination. Ido not wish for a. moment to be thoughtto be trying to place the New ZealandUniversity colleges on a pinnacle of per-fection, but merely wish to do justice toour educational institutions. Until wehave residential colleges, and many ofthem, we cannot expect that the. fall bene-fits of a university course can anythinglike compare with those of older "landsnor can we hope that, except in very rarecases, our honours men can compare withthose who take the highest honours at" theHomo university when we know that those

The manager of th© Handsworth mine,Kuaotunu, reports that the recent crushingof 12 tons of general ore and 501b of speci-mens gave a return of 23140z melted goldof the value of £559.

A connection has been made with the LadyCarrington level, where the main lead isshowing well defined. The country is verysimilar to the Handsworth section. Twelveto 15ft of rising will connect the southend of Otama 6topes with this tunnel, whichwill allow the main lead to be driven southin entirely new country.

RETURN OF £193.The manager of the Waiotahi Gold

Mining Company reports for the week asfollows :—

No. 7 level: The drivTwest towards thomain reef has been in hand. The quartzbored into at the beginning of the weekwaa not the main reef, but more in thenature of a rib of hard conglomerate,■which is about 18in in width. In the smalli threads of quartz further colours of goldhave been seen. The country is still of afavourable character for gold. We shallprobably have to drive a little distanceyet before getting on to the main reef.The drive east on the new reef is in a dis-tance of 19ft. The new reef is not yetclear of the cross reef, and is still about4ft in width. Stone from it is being sentto the battery for treatment, 10 head ofstamps being kept going one shift on thequartz broken from this drive. Quartzamounting to 52 tons has been treatedduring. the past fortnight for 690z ofmelted gold, the value of which is ap-proximated £193.

Thousand-feet level : The Victoria cross-cut is now in a distance of 306ft from themain crosscut. The country now beingpenetrated is of a much more open natureand a good flow of water is draining fromthe face. In consequence the water in theWaiotahi shaft has gone down about 6in.

In Nos. 1 and 2the reef is well mineralised, and in No. 3good dabs of gold are freely seen. The riseto connect with No. 2 level shows heavilymineralised reef. In the intermediate levelthe reef in the stope is 3ft wide and goodcolours and dabs of gold can bo seen in thequartz broken. The rise from the batterylevel to connect with the intermediate levelis up 38ft, and tho reef is the full widthof the rise. In tho old intermediate work-ing on the 100ft level south of the mainrise, .i start was made to sink below themain level. Some strong dabs of gold arcseen in the quartz being broken out.

NOTES.The leading stope north of tho New

Waitaia mine, Kuaotunu, i 3 beaten alonga distance of 60ft past the main rise. Thamanager states that the reef varies in sizefrom 6in to 15in wide, and shows gold.

The manager of the Monowai mine,Waiomo, states that the ore coming tohand from tho stopes at No. 3 level main-tains its value, the reef being from sft to6ft wide. At No. 2 crosscut the drive isin 78ft, and is passing through a channel ofnice mild sandstone. Fifty-eight tons ofore were crushed, giving fair assay values.

. In the stopes seaward of the rise on the400ft level of the Old Hauraki mine, Coro-mandel, three faces are now being worked,and the manager states that tho secondstope is close to the point where gold wasobtained from the first stope.

The anniversary of the foundation of thoAuckland Diocesan High School was cele-brated yesterday. Proceedings were com-menced at 11.30 o'clock, when a service ofcommemoration of the founders was con-ducted by the Yen Archdeacon Cole.Among those present were Hon. E.Mitchelson, chairman of the Council, andMessrs. Cochrane, W. R. Bloomfield, Gilfil-lan, and C. J. Tunks, members of theCouncil. Mrs. Pulling and Miss Ward,who are numbered among the founders,were also present.

Hon. E. Mitchelson delivered an ad-dress upon the life of Bishop Selwyn andtho early history of the colony. Speakingon the self-reliance shown by BishopSolwyn, lie contrasted present day habitsunfavourably with those of the early set-tlers. In conclusion, Mr. Mitchelsonstated that tho chapel at the school wasa relic of Bishop Selwyn, as it had ori-ginally stood at Bishopscourt, where ithad been used as a place of worship bythe Bishop and his family. He was gladto 6ay that it was now free- from debt.

Mr. J. H. Upton, who"was present atthe invitation of the head-mistress, ad-dressed the girls and drew a parallel be-tween the founding of the Diocesan HighSchool and the founding of the WinchesterCollege in England- The real founder ofthe Diocesan High School, lie said, wasBishop Neligan. He also noted that themottoes of the schools were strikinglysimilar, that of Winchester College being"Manners Maketh Man," and that of theDiocesan High School, "In Order That WeMay Serve." The objects of the schoolswere exactly similar, namely, to make thescholars good and useful citizens.

A luncheon was held subsequently,while in the afternoon an .old girls' ro-union was held in the school grounds..

A CONTRACTOR'S CLAIM.

EXTRAS ON BRIDGE CONTRACT

DISALLOWED BY COURT.

Judgment for the defendants was given)by Justice Cooper yesterday in the case ofG. M. Fraser (contractor) v. the HamiltonBorough Council, in which the formerclaimed a .sura a little over £1700 forextras in connection with tho constructionof a bridge, £500 damages for delayowing to the non-arrival in proper time ofcertain steel work, etc., and a further sumof £250 damages for delay in the supplyof necessary rivets and bolts.

For the Borough Council it was con-tended that the engineer was the solearbiter in reference to all claims forextras, while the plaintiff maintainedthat the engineer had been disqualifiedfrom acting as arbiter, owing to the factthat he had given an assurance that thocost of the bridge would not exceed acertain sum, and that he had determinedthe amount payable for extras upon awrong basis.

In the course of hisi judgment, Mr.Justice Cooper ruled that Mr. Ful-ton's "estimate" that the wholework would cost less than- £20,000,whereas it cost over £24,000, was not an"assurance" that it would cost less than£20,000. The engineer's decision in re-spect to all the extra works, the judgeheld, was final under the contract betweenthe parties. Judgment was given for thedefendant.

Mr. Myers, of Wellington, and Mr.Gillies, represented the plaintiff, while. Mr.T. Cotter, K.C., and Mr. Swarbrick ap-peared for defendant.

Bishop Crossley, in tho course of anaddress, tendered tho delegates a verycordial welcome to Auckland. Tho workbefore* them, ho said, was very important,and his help would always be available.Tho Girls' Friendly Society, as it existedin England, had always been a little de-fective, in his judgment, in the way ofsavouring of too much of a patronagesociety. It was quite evident that in aland like New Zealand anything likepatronage or condescension would not boacceptable, and those at the head ofaffairs would have to go to the girls, nobas superiors,, but rather as women andfriends. It was his hop© that the dele-gates would tako into consideration th<jbearing of tho life of leisure upon the lif<jof employment in, New Zealand, and thatthey would consider how best to federate,and how best to bring community of in-terest.

The meeting then proceeded to discussthe constitution, and some necessary alter-ations were made.

The Conference will sit daily untilThursday.

The visiting delegates were welcomedby the Auckland branches of the Girls'Friendly Societies last evening at St.Sepulchre's Parish Hall. Mrs. Crossleybriefly introduced the visitors and spokea few words of welcome. The remainderof the evening was purely of a socialnature, musical items being contributedby Mrs. Parkes, Miss Gardner, Miss Ken-derdine, and Miss Southey-Baker.

The claim for £4975 compensation, madeby Wiremn Watene Taufare and others,representing the native owners of the Ora-kei block, against the Auckland andSuburban Drainage Board, came beforeMr. Justice Cooper and Messrs. W. M.Duncan and Geo. Elliot, assessors, at thoSupreme Court yesterday.

Mr. C. J. Schnauer, who appeared forthe natives, stated that the Orakei block,of 40 acres, had been given to the nativesin 1873 as a kaianga, or place for settle-ment. Recently a portion of the mainsewer, about four feet in height, had beenplaced across the waterfront by the Drain-age Board, who thereby deprived thenatives of the advantages formerly derivedfrom the use of the Orakei beach. A suraof £3500 was therefore claimed in respectto the deprivation of riparian rights, anda further sum of £1000 was claimed for de-preciation owing to the presence of thesewer and its general unsightliness. Ad-ditional sums of £250. £150, and £75 wereclaimed for depreciation resultant uponthe backing up of water unable to getaway, for an area of about a quarter of an.acre forming the bed of the sower,and for land cut off from the main block.

PHYSICAL DRILL IN PUBLICSCHOOLS.

A COMPULSORY SYSTEM.

OUTLINE OF THE SCHEME.

STAFF OF ELEVEN INSTRUCTORS.

Scientific exercises in physical drill con-ducted by special instructors working inco-operation with, the recently-appointedmedical inspectors are to be made com-pulsory for all children attending pri-mary schools. The scheme has been for-mulated in its broad lines, and will be

.brought into operation as soon as the in-structors have been selected. Elementarymilitary training will be optional for theolder boys .at primary schools, but as onlyphysical drill will be compulsory the estab-lishment of the scheme will complete thedemilitarisation of the junior cadets.

The scheme will be controlled by theDepartment of Education. Its generalstructure was planned by the Minister forEducation (Hon. James Allen) himjself.His proposals were submitted to a com-petent advisory committee, which approvedthem and made recommendations in regardto details. The latter were reviewed bythe Inspector-General of Schools, and hein turn approved the scheme. The ad-visory committee consulted by the Ministercomprised the Inspector-General of Schools(Mr. G. Hogben), Dr. Hardwick Smith(medical superintendent of the WellingtonHospital), Major-General Godley (Com'mandant of the New Zealand Forces), Mi..Royd Garlick (an expert in physical train-ing), Dr. Elizabeth Gunn (one of the medi-cal inspectors of schools), and Mrs. Heap(directress of physical training at the Auck-land Girls' Grammar School). The reportsagree that compulsory military trainingas organised in the junior cadets should bereplaced, by compulsory graduated and or-ganised physical training for all boys andgirls in the primary schools, military drillbeing left to be taken up voluntarily inthose schools that desire to take it up, andthe commandant of junior cadets and hisstaff being replaced by a director of physi-cal training and a qualified staff.

Drill on Scientific Lines.With tho object of improving the health

and the physique of the youth of theDominion, physical drill on scientific lineSis to be given to all boys and girls through-out their attendance at primary schools.The drill will consist of approved gradu-ated exercises, during short periods everyday under tho direction of the teachers,and will .bo compulsory for all childrenexcept those exempted on medical grounds.General principles /for tho guidance ofschool-teachers have been stated by the Ad-

visory Committee. It recommended thatthe cxercuies should include some for class-room as well as for the open air. As faras possible physical exercises of young chil-dren will be taken quite apart from thoseof tho older children, and girls and boyswill be drilled separately. The committeealso considered that men teachers shouldtrain older boys and women teachers shouldtrain girls. The wearing of suitable dressand shoes without heels will be encouraged.Instruction of ordinary physical exercisesshould be given from 10 to 15 minutes perday and out of doors, if Possible. In addi-tion to the regular drill, the committeeadvised that before every lesson three tofive minutes should be devoted to breath-ing exercises and other simple physicalexercises in fresh air, and not lees'thanthroe of these shorter lessons should "betaken every day.

Aim of tha Training.In order that the drill shall not be mo-notonous, it is intended that it should

be varied by organised games, such asbaaktball. It will be correlated withthe lessons in first-aid, life-saving, swim-ming, etc., for which provision is madein the public schools syllabus and in the

' regulations for manual instruction. Thetraining will also be co-ordinated with thelessons and training which the syllabusof instruction in public schools directs tobe given under the heads of moral instruc-tion, civics, and health, with the aim ofencouraging character-formation, includingdiscipline, self-restraint, sense of duty toothers, and to the State. With this object,boys and girls will bo made to feel that •their physical development is largely amatter of their own individual responsi-bility. For the encouragement of this atti-tude towards the system, on the part ofthe children, a limited number of badgeswill b9 awarded ■ to school prefects andckas monitors for combination of moralcharacter, efficiency in physical exercises,and good influence exercised in variousparts of the school life. Certain responsi-bilities will be entrusted to wearers ofthese badges. The committee also recom-mended that endorsements should be madeon the certificates of teachers displayingspecial excellence in physical instruction.

Record of Results.An important adjunct of the scheme willbo an accurate observation of results. Arecord card will be kept for each child

containing particulars of its physical de-velopment, and these will be useful indetermining cases requiring special treat-ment. Tho cards will also provide in-structive statistics regarding the effects ofthe training.

Boys Over Twelve Years.The same drill will be prescribed for

both boys and girls under 12 years of age,but those of that age and upwards will re-ceive different training. With a view totheir subsequent entrance into the seniorcadets, these boys are, in addition to thecompulsory physical training, to do alittle squad and company drill (notexcocding half-an-hour per week ofschool time), practice shooting with airrifles, varied by lesson 3 in flag-signalling,knotting and splicing, finding the pointsof the compass, and other similar exercises.The assistance of a non-commissionedofficer will be given by the Defence De-partment where military drill is taught,and any such drill will'be subject to in-spection by an officer appointed by theCommandant of the Forces, and by whom areport will bo made to the Minister forEducation. For military drill only light"dummy'' rifles will bo used. The pre-sent junior cadet uniforms (except thecaps) will bo utilised during drill instruc-tion, and will also be used (with the caps)by boys who are.old enough to receive theelementary military training. In all otherrespects the present junior cadet systemwill be abolished, and only officers holdingcommissions in tho senior cadets or terri-torial forces will bo allowed to wear uni-forms or carry swords, but the presentjunior cadet officers will be encouraged totake commissions in the senior cadets andterritorials.

Training of Girls.\ Special recommendations were invitedby the Minister in regard to the trainingof the elder girls, with a view to imbuingthem with an appreciation of the value ofhome life and of impressing them withthe special importance of their future Hve3and the necessity of properly equippingthemselves for their responsibilities. Tho,committee recommended that girls musttake the compulsory physical exercises up jto the time of leaving school. After 12years of ape they should receive once aweek special exercises, including abdominal |exercises and balance movements, and jbreathing exercises in the supine position, jInstruction is recommended in elementary ,physiology, within the range indicated by Ithe preliminary note on physiology in the 'English Board of Education syllabus, and jin personal hygiene, special attention be-ing paid to care of the teeth and themouth, cleanliness, importance of goodhabits in eating and drinking, and thevalue of fresh air and cleanliness in thehome. A modified first aid and home-nursing course, with special attention tothe latter subject, is? recommended andthe principles of plain cooking should bo

taught practically, with special regard tothe price of goods used, to the utilising ofcold meat and vegetables, and other meansof avoiding waste. Where possible,housewifery should be taught in a hostelor a flat set apart for the purpose. En-couragement will bo given to school ex-cursions for the purpose of nature studyand other forms of original observation.

Staff of. Instructors.The responsibility of the new system

will be entrusted to a director of physi-cal training, who, being himselfthoroughly trained in the principles, willdirect and inspect the training in theschools. Ten qualified persons (five menand five women) will be appointed as in-structors and inspectors, and one of thewomen, will have special charge under thedirector of the physical training of girls.These instructors will be given a specialcourse to equip i them thoroughly for the'work, and will also be given refreshercourses from time to time. When theyhave entered upon their duties, the in-structors will conduct classes for teachers,and upon their visits of inspection willgive most of their attention to tho direc-tion of the training along scientific lines,w;ith especial care to cases of childrencalling for individual treatment. In allmatters the director and the instructorswill act in conjunction on the one handwith tho officers of the education boards,and on the other hand with the mimical in-spectors of schools.

GERMANY AND THE. BALKANS.

The announcement that Turkey hasapplied to the Powers for theirmediation with a view to. securingpeace opens up the entire questionas to the desirability of maintainingthe Ottoman Empire in Europe. Asfar as Britain is concerned there isa very ,wide difference between per-

mitting a rival and probably hostilePower to seat itself in a commandingposition upon the Eastern Mediter-ranean and accepting thepartition ofEuropean Turkey among the Balkanallies. The traditional policy of Bri-tish statesmen has been to favourBalkan autonomy against any* andevery form of European conquest or

annexation. Greece owes its placeas a sovereign State to the destrucjtion of the Turkish fleet at N&varinb,and the Balkan States of to-dayreally owe more to the shrewd diplo-macy of Lord Beaconsfield than tothe more apparent but less disinter-ested actions of Russia. In the pre-sent generation there is less dangerthan heretofore of any serious andpermanent interference with theroute to India via Suez; but thereare still many reasons why Balkanautonomy shouldbe preferred by Bri-tain to any other solution of theproblem. The Triple Alliance, how-ever, cannot.be expected to look thusfavourably upon the claims of theBalkan allies or to be pleased at theremarkable display of militarystrength and capacity which hasgiven them an undeniable right to avoice in arranging the future of Euro-pean Turkey. The partition of Euro-pean Turkey among the Balkan allies.—or the establishment of autonomousgovernment under their protection,which would be tantamount to parti*tion—would give to the Triple Afli-<ance a shock very hard to bear.Germany aims at naval supremacy,and with naval supremacy could lootat its ease and at its pleasure thatworld-wide, ocean-borne empire ofBritain which stretches from New-foundland to New- Zealand) fromSiam to Sierra Leone. Italy hastransmarine ambitions, has alreadyset her foot on' African territory, andmay be rewarded for fidelity to theTriple Alliance, in its hour of,trial,not only by the recovery of Savoyand Nice, but at the expense ofFrench provinces in Northern andCentral Africa. Austria, however,has no love of the sea it is thedominating partner in a wholly con-tinental empire and has directed itspolicy to the work of extending thatempire to provinces accessible byroad and rail; its price for allegianceto the Triple Alliance has notoriouslybeen the expectation of marchingthrough Macedonia to the iEgean,and the hope of seating it's Hapsburgemperors upon the restored throne ofConstantine. If the Balkan allieshold Macedonia not only against theTurk but against, the Austrian, theTriple Alliance cannot easily pay animportant partner. With this dis-couragement to Austria a seriouscheck would be given to the far-reaching schemes of Germany.

The relations of Germany withTurkey are peculiar. It has beennecessary' for Germany to obtaincommercial concessions, railwayfranchises and arsenal orders by per-suading the suspicious .Turk- that sheis his only friend. It has been evenmore necessary for her to assist Aus-tria in maintaining the recently exist-ing order of things in Macedonia.The annexation of Bosnia arid Herze-govina, in defiance of solemntreaties and at the opportunityafforded by the temporary militaryweakness of Russia, informed theworld how little treaties and agree-ments are to be relied upon unlessthey can be advantageously kept.This annexation brought Austria intoclose touch with Macedonia and lefther free to thrust her armies atSalonika—through the gap deliber-ately and designedly left openbetween Servia and Montenegro—whenever it might suit her to do so.It has long been assumed that inthe tremendous conflict which mustprecede any graphic readjustment ofthe map of Europe and of the worldthe Triple Alliance may find itselfconfronted by Britain, France andRussia. Even before the Triple.Entente Russia was regarded as theJoe of Austria in the Balkans, for it

would not suit Russia to see a strong; and inimical military Power, postedon tho Dardanelles, through whichmust .pass. the entire maritime trade

of the Black Sea ports. „; There was

thus a natural and obvious reasonfor Austria lending itself to Germandesigns. On the face of things itseemed reasonable enough to thinkthat when Russia had been reducedto quiescence an Austrian armywould make short work of Mace-donia, sent thither by the sympathyof Vienna and Berlin for all mis-governed Christians. Events haverecently transpired however whichmake such designs appear as fantasti-cal dreams. The Balkan States havecalled a million men to armsj dndhave shown a fighting strength whichlifts them, above the. contempt ofAustro-Germah statesmen. Russiawill certainly not stand, back whenehe can win passionate allies by mak-ing common cause with the BalkanStates if Austria attempts to tearMacedonia from them. If the Triple

Alliance supports Austria ft has toface not only the Triple Entente butam unexpected Balkan, Confederacy,

which with Russian help might pos-1sibly strip Austria of all her Scla-vonic provinces. Oh the other hand, iif the asserted unp'reparedness ofGermany for war with Britain—unpreparedness dependent upon a

naval disproportion which growssteadily less— Austria back andenables Macedonian autonomy to beobtained as. the price of peace withTurkey, the path of Austria toSalonika .is no. less surely barred.She must always expect to arouse theBalkan States if she renews herattempt.to move southward and camnever again regard Macedonia as theguaranteed reward of supporting apromising German enterprise. Itmay, therefore, be considered thatGermany has suffered very severelyby the Balkan outbreak, having lostthereby the power,to pay. easily herchief ally, by which loss the mutu-ality of interest in the Triple Alli-ance is very considerably diminished.

FREEHOLD IN THE COUNCIL.

-The experience of the Land Bill inthe House of Representatives was re-peated yesterday in the LegislativeCouncil. After some inconsequentialamendments in committee the Billpassed its third reading by 13 to 4.In the House on the third readingthe voting was 42 to 13, an almostidentical proportion. As the de-batable core of the measure is itsgranting of optional freehold uponactuarial valuation to holders of re-newable leases, and as in bothchambers the final division was madea doctrinal te«t by Leasehold cham-pions, we are ; confronted by incon-testable-proof of the amazing thoughnotorious fact that an objectionableand unpopular system of land tenurehas been forced upon our agricul-tural population by an insignificantminority. There never was a sessionin the long political career of , theContinuous Government when Free-holders were not in a clear majorityin the House and even in the Legis-lative Council. The party intriguesof the Continuous Government, andits diplomatic necessity for conciliat-ing the faction which not . only in;,sisted upon attacking freehold wher-ever possible, but openly advocatedthe violation by the State of L.I.P.conditions, alone foisted compulsoryshort-term leases upon settlers. ' Themoment the situation is fairly facedby a Reform Government thisLease-hold phantom dissolves into thinair,,and proves to have neither strengthnor substantiality. ' It. may furtherbe pointed out that while the Con-tinuous Government was confusingland tenures and hampering settle-ment by its subservience to a hand-ful of doctrinaires it did nothing torectify the' many abuses connectedwith Native Lands. The absence ofany law by which .the Orakei Blockcan be acquired upon equitabl" termsby the general or local governmentis not due to the Massey Adminis-tration, but to the vagaries of itspredecessors. The country has hadsaddled upon it the absurd policythat though Maori owners . shouldbenefit by public improvements andprivate enterprise they should beexempt from all the responsibilitiesand obligations due by Pakehaowners to the State. It may takethe Reform Government a consider-able time to reverse: in an equitablemanner this peculiar policy.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

THE GUNPOWDER PLOTTERS.It will be of interest to-day to recall thenames and characteristics Of the men con-cerned in the gunpowder plot to blow upthe Parliament of England on November5, 1605. Robert Catesbyy the chief instiga-tor of the plot, was a gentleman of familyand fortune, and it wa* to Thomas Winterthat he first explained his plan. Winter,in his turn, induced Guy FaWkes to jointhe conspiracy. Fawkes, the mdo-drama-tio villain of the popular creed, had ob-tained both respect and credit as a soldierof fortune. John, Wright "was one of thegreatest swordsmen of the -timet andThomas Percy -was a distant relation ofthe : great house whose name he bore.Robert 'Winter1 and ' Christopher Wrightwere respectively brothers of the" two con-spirators of those names. The remainingfigure in the group", Bates, Was a servantof Catesby, who, having discovered whatwas going on, was taken into the plot inthe hope of binding him to them. At mid-night on November 4, in the cellar be-neath the. House of LordSi • Fawkes waswatching over the barrels of gunpowderwhen he. was arrested. The cellar be-longed to one John Bright, and was used.for coal. It was secured by the conspira-tors :s>r their purpose-on accoant. of its.being directly under the House'of Lords.

The conspirators* house at Lambeth wasunder, the care of Robert Keyes, a poorRoman Catholic, gentleman, and it wasthere that the explosives were collected in

small quantities at a time. It is interestingto note that iif 1605 : November 5 fell, on a

Tuesday.

NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNOR.A correspondent, writing in the Sydney

Daily . Telegraph in connection with theappointment of Sir. Gerald Strickland asGovernor of New South Wales in succes-sion to Lord Chelmsfordj suggests a peti-tion to the King " to send us as Governora man whose declared religious convic-tions would not lend himself to the ad-vancement of Roman Catholicism to thedetriment of the: other, sects." TheTelegraph, commenting on the tetter, says:"Were the sectarian line to be drawn asrigidly as our correspondent'suggests,, theeffect would be that Roman Catholicswould be excluded from certain offices,and whether that is wise or necessary be-comes a serious question when we recallthat in this country there is full religiousfreedom and equality, and Roman Catho-lics constitute, roundly, nearly one-fourthof the population. ' The proportion ofCatholic Governors has been very muchless than the Catholic proportion of thecommunity. Yet Roman Catholics havenot made a grievance of this fact. To or-

dain that no member of that Church shallbe eligible for certain offices of State,whatever his personal qualifications, wouldbe to perpetuate and embitter those sec-tarian differences which an enlightenedpeople would naturally prefer to see de-prived of acerbity as far as possible. Andto assume that because the Governor is aRoman Catholic he would "lend himselfto the advancement of Roman Catholicismto the detriment of the other sects" is- todo him an injustice. The men who haveheld these positions have invariably beenhigh-minded officials of the Crown, far

above the influence of bigotry and withthe will as well as the ability to dischargetheir duties with conspicuous impartiality.Sir Gerald Strickland himself is creditedwith having uniformly played with theutmost tact and discretion the rule of astrictly constitutional Governor, and thatwas his repute in Tasmania. That sucha well-accredited servant of the Crownshould be disqualified from high office. onaccount of his religion would be deplor-able." :

LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS

The various tramway extensions in thecity are making fair progress. the Re-muera extension along Victoria Avenuehas! been commenced, while the line ispractically completed alongMountain Road.The extension down Shelly Beach Roadto Point Erin Park will be commencedsoon. The plans for the work are nowbeing prepared, and when they are passedby the City Council and the Public WorksDepartment the work will be commenced.

The New Zealand Shipping Company hasmodified its policy of giving Maori namesto all its (.vessels. ; Quite recently it hasmade several purchases from other com-;panies, and the vessels have been given.the names of Irish counties, Westmeath A

Roscommon, and ' Limerick. The West-meath (which was formerly the EvertonGrange), sustained some damage by ground-ing in the Mersey, as she was leaving forNew Zealand. The old Arawa, of theShaw-Savill line, is now likely to make herfifth change of name since she was in theNew.Zealand service. She has since beenthe Colon, the .Arawa again/ the- Lake

(Jore-street, which runs parallel witliQjeen-street, from Fort-street to Customs-.street.East, is to be paved with Neuchatelasphalt.' The work of excavating was tohave been commence 1 yesterday, but owingto. the wet weather it was impossible tomake a start Operations will-probablyto begun' to-day. : Commerce-street, alsoleading from Fort-street to Customs-streetEast, will be the next street to be pavedwith Neuchatel asphalt, and a start willbo.raad'3 to lajl- down Customs-street Eastin the same paving about the beginning ofnext year. When Fort-street, which isbeing;paved with Powellined . birch blocks,and the. other three streets mentioned arecompleted, the city will have five busystreets, including Queien-istreet, in closeproximity to the water front permanentlypaved, and this ought to largely mitigatethe dust nuisance in th<s city.

• Several of th<a stewards' and engineers,on the ill-fated Titanic were prepared forconfirmation by Bishop Crossley. : HisLordship mentioned the fact in the courseof his address to confirmation candidatesat St. Paul's Church, last night. "I amproud," he said, "to belong to the racethat produced such. heroes as the engineerson the Titanic." The Bishop said thatduty was sometimes hard, and he instancedthe action of the engineers in "keeping theengines going on the Titanic as an ex-ample of devotion to duty.

The old custom of "burning the guy"and letting off fireworks in celebration ofthe frustration of Guy Fawkes'a notoriousattempt to blow,up the English House ofParliament will be indulged in to-night.At Cheltenham Beach, as in previous years,there will be a huge fire, and the residentswill make merry on the beach.

TERRIBLE FIRE TRAGEDIES.

■17 GIRLS LOSE THEIR LIVES

DESPERATE LEAPS FOR LIFE.

THRILLING ESCAPES. '

SEVERAL GIRLS INJURED. ';

By Telegraph.—Press Association—

London, November 3.Seventeen girls have lost their livesas the result of a fire which tookplace in the premises of Messrs.Barker and Co., drapers, in SouthKensington yesterday.

Thirty girls were in peril of theirlives, and there were some thrillingescapes.

One girl was dashed to death onthe pavement after jumping from thefourth storey.

Others, who leaped to the pave-ment, were seriously injured.

One rescued girl saw four of hercompanions perish.

Eight girls are still missing, andthere is no hope that they haveescaped.

Eleven girls were taken to the hos-pital and four of them have sincesuccumbed to their injuries.

The heat was so intense that anyfurther rescues were impossible.Heart-rending scenes occurred at thefire.

The building was gutted.

GETTING ON WALL-STREET.

By Telegraph. Association—

New York, November 3.The betting on Wall-street favoursMr. Woodrow Wilson's chances ofbeing elected to the Presidency.

ACCIDENT TO MR. WILSON.

A SLIGHT WOUND.(Received November 4, 11.5 p.m.)

New York, November, Mr. Woodrow # Wilson's head wasstruck by the roof of his automobilewhilst he was riding in it yesterday.He sustained a wound, but it is notserious.

HOW THE PRESIDENT IS ELECTED.The Presidential election takes place

to-day. The candidates are Mr. Taft, thepreeeafc President (Republican); Mr.Roosevelt (Progressive Republican), andMr. Woodrxyw Wilson (Democrat). .

A direct election of a President by the90,000,000 people' of the United Stateswould probably lead to endless confusion,and this is avoided by a system of doublevoting, under which the people elect, aspecial representative assembly, which inturn electa a President. The first step in

I the election is the appointment by eachState of a number of Presidential electors,equal to the whole number of Congress-men and Senators returned by the State.

The political parties in each State nametheir candidates for the office of Presiden-tial elector, and it is the names of thesemen which appear at the head of the bal-lot papers. The Presidential electors whoare thus chosen by the various Statesbecome an electoral college, whose duty itas to make the final decision, and .todeclare which of the candidates,put for-ward by tho great parties shall be Presi-dent. Presidential electors, of course, arepledged by their speeches, etc., to sup-port a certain candidate, and the pledge isstrictly adhered to.

The Presidential electors do not solemn-ly assemble at an electoral college at Wash-ington and proceed to poll for the Presi-dent ; they rarely- go outside their ownState. They meet in their respectivecapitols.- forty-six groups in. all, and eachelector signs a declaration for his choice ofPresident and Vice-President. Then eachgroup transmits the votes of each Stateto Washington, and in the presence 'ofboth Houses the President of the Senatecounts them. When the President hasbeen elected the college dies a naturaldeath, and its members lay down theirprivileges and become ordinary citizensonce more.

In view of the triangular contest it isquit© possible that no candidate on thisoccasion will secure tho necessary major-ity in the Electoral College, in which casethe election will be thrown into the Fed-eral House of Representatives, The vot-ing is then by States—each State dele-gation having one vote only.

TURKEY ASKS FOR PEACE.POWERS REQUESTED TO MEDIATE.THE ARMY COMPLETELY DEFEATED.

GREATEST ROUT FOR 100YEARS

LOSS OF 40,000 MEN.

REMNANT MAKING A FINAL, STAND-

The war news published this morning confirms the previous messagesas to the complete rout of the Turks by the Bulgarians.

The position of Turkey is so hopeless that the Porte has appliedto the Powers to mediate, with the object of securing peace. Turkeyhas thus ignored the. semi-official statement published in Sofia to theeffect that negotiations for peace must be with the allies direct, andnot through the medium of the Powers.

M. Poincaire (the French Premier) has submitted to the Powersa proposal as to the form that intervention should take. It is under-stood that the proposal meets with general approval, but its natureis not disclosed.

A message despatched prior to the announcement that the Porteis seeking peace, stated that the Turkish army is making a final stand.

• A graphic ■ account of the crushing defeat sustained by theTurks at Lule Burgas and the subsequent flight of the panic-strickenarmy, is supplied by Mr. Donohuc, of the London Daily Chronicle, whois with the Turks at Chorlu. He states that the disaster is irrevoc-able, and that the rout is the greatest that has taken place'since theretreat of the army of Napoleon from Moscow a hundred years ago.No greater debacle, he says, has taken place since the capitulation ofSedan in 1870.

Forty thousand Turks are stated to have fallen in the battle ofLule Burgas and during the flight.

The Turkish port of Preveza, at the entrance of the Gulf of Arta,has surrendered to the Greeks. The Greeks have also capturedYenidji, which is only 14 miles from Salonika,

It is stated that Adrianople is likely to fall next week. s

THE ROUT OF THE TURKS.AN IRREVOCABLE DISASTER

"GREATEST DEBACLE SINCESEDAN."

LOSS OF 40,000 SOLDIERS.

"MEN MELT LIKE SNOW."

A TERRIBLE ARTILLERY FIRE

TURKS MOWED DOWN INTHOUSANDS.

(Received November A, 11.5 p.m.)

London, November 4.Mr. Donohue, the Daily Chronicle's

correspondent, who .is with the Turksat' Chorlu, is one of the two English

; correspondents who were caught inthe stampede after the battle of Lule

■Burgas. He says :— '

".An irrevocable' disaster has be-fallen the Turks, followed by con-fusion and rout, which has been un-paralleled since th<9 retreat of Napo-ledri's army from Moscow in 1812. Itis the most complete military disastersince Mukden (in the Russo-Japanesewar): the greatest debacle sincethe surrender of Sedan by the Frenchto the Germans in 1870.

Enormous Losses.. "Forty thousand Turks have fallen,

while Abdullah Pasha narrowly es-caped the fate of 75 per cent, of hisartillery force, who were made cap-tives.

" Men melted like snow before thesummer sun. The disintegrationwas soon general, and the demorali-sation complete."Handfuls of the army found their

way back to Chorlu, the Bulgarianartillery cruelly harassing and mow-ing them down in thousands.

"Terrible scenes, which burnedthemselves on the memory, occurredduring the engagement.

Terrible Artillery Fire.

"Throughout all the terrible fight-ing the superiority of the Bulgarianartillery was pronounced. TheTurks were unable to withstand themurderous fire, and withdrew slowly.The gunners were dead and themajority of the horses killed by theafternoon."The Turks were shelled at Lule

Burgas. The civilians had previ-ously fled, and therefore the non-combatants' loss was insignificant.

"The Bulgarians launched infantry 1attacks and stormed ,the town at thebayonet's point."The greater portion of the Turks

were withdrawn, but the rearguardwere caught like rats in a trap.?'

Check to the Bulgarians.

Mr. Donohue, in continuing hisnarrative, states that the fourthcorps, although without food for twodays, stubbornly resisted, and diedto a man.

At the railway station, four milesfrom Lule • Burgas, the Bulgarianswere checked for a couple of hours.Here the Turkish cavalry was con-centrated under Salih Pasha andFeud Pasha.

As the Bulgarians approached,they were exposed to an unexpectedand raking fire from batteries postedon the hills around the station.

Shrapnel tore gaps in the ranks ofthe Bulgarians,, and then SalihPasha's cavalry dashing from theirplace of concealment, swept like atornado upon the exposed infantry.

The Bulgarians turned, and thecavalry rode them down, causing ex-traordinary havoc.

Work of Bulgarian Machine Guns.

In their elation the Turks pursuedthe enemy, when suddenly the Bul-garian machine guns opened fire,tumbling' Turks tod horses into a.mangled mass,.

A few who had entered upon thecharge returned

Meanwhile the Bulgarians' heavyartillery caused the Turkish garrisonto retreat, but a few reached thehills.

The Turkish artillery was then con-centrated on the town of Lule Bur-gas. Many houses were destroyed,and a large number of Bulgarianswere killed in the ruins.

The Bulgarians then got . theirartillery into position and a duelcommenced.

The Turkish position was badlychosen, and was lacking in cover,whilst there were no trenches for sup-porting the infantry;

A Severe Bombardment.The Turks lost heavily, but their

severe bombardment caused the Bul-garians to temporarily evacuate LuleBurgas.

Towards evening the Bulgarians'advance became more rapid. Theinfantry pushed forward at. an in-credible speed, and the artillery tookup positions as coolly as if they weretaking part in peace manoeuvres, andknew their range to a nicety. Theirmarksmanship was superb, and theirfire murderous!

Turks Short of Ammunition.The Turks were poorly supplied

with ammunition, most of which hadbeen expended in the morning's'fight.

Many gunners who stood to theirguns were unable to reply to theenemy's fire, and they, awaiteddeath, which came swiftly. !

The Turkish front was harassed bya terrible fire, which as time pro-gressed became simply carnage, menfalling in hundreds.

The appalling shell fire destroyedthe morale of the Turks.

� Foodless and Sleepless Army.

Night fell upon foodless and sleep-less men, for the Bulgarians seemedendowed with relentless energy.

The dead cumbered the ground.Doctors were few, whilst there wereno ambulances. ■ The greater portionof the wounded perished during thebitter cold night.

The retreat, for perhaps an hour,was orderly, but pressure from therear induced rout in the vanguard.

Two hours after sunrise the Bul-garians learned what ha"d happenedto Abdullah Pasha's army, andstarted in pursuit. They then occu-pied SakzjoK without a shot beingfired in defence.

The Only Chance Fails.The Turks' only ray of hope, Mr.

.Donohue states, lay in MukhtarPasha's effort to relieve the pressureby turning the Bulgarians'. left.

Abdullah Pasha was unable toaccede to the second corps' appealfor help at Bunar Hissar, where theammunition was exhausted, nor couldthe centre company comply with hisrequest to hold their ground.

A Heavy Shrapnel Fire.At three o'clock on Thursday the

general sauve qui peut took place,and everything was, abandoned.

. In the. stampede across the Thra-cian Veldt 75. per cent., of the menwere wounded or injured by theshrapnel fire.

Two Battalions Destroyed.Out of two battalions which ar-

rived at Lule Burgas on the day ofthe battle, only six men were alive atsundown.

The second corps caught six Bul-garian spies and court-martialledand shot them-.

TURKS STILL FIGHTING.

ANOTHER DEFEAT BY , THEBULGARIANS.

MAKING A FINAL STAND.

WEAKNESS ' OF TURKISHOFFICERS.

Sofia, November 3.''The remnant of the Turkish

army is making a stand betweenTchorlu, on the railway about 100miles from Constantinople (and 60miles west of the capital in a directline), and Serai, 20 miles further tothe north.

It is reported that the Bulgarianshave surrounded Shevket , TorgutPasha's division in the heights eastof Serai, in the Istranclja DaghMountains,

After a desperate fight, the Turksbroke through and fled to Chataldja,about 20 miles from Constantinople.

The Reichpost publishes anaccount of the heroic assaults on theTurkish centre at Kavakdere during,the second day of the Bunar Hissarbattle.

Undismayed and unshaken by theappalling Turkish fire, the Bulgar-ians captured the heights at thefourth charge.

Efforts made in Berlin have failedto extract from Field-Marshal Vonder Golz the reason for the failureof his Turkish pupils.

German experts say that the faultdoes not lie with the tactical les-sons, but in the wretched individualwork of the officers.

Twelve thousand wounded soldiersfrom the battlefields have arrived inConstantinople from the scenes ofthe recent battles.

A bomb exploded in the Govern-ment,Department at Dimotika (southof Adrianople), causing muchdamage.

The Bulgarians, during the battleof Lule Burgas, captured 80 guns and160 ammunition waggons.

THE KIRK KILISSE BATTLE.

HALF WON BY TURKS.

PANIC CAUSES DEFEAT.

TURKS FIGHTING EACH OTHERLondon, November 3.

A German officer, who was with theTurks at Kirk KUisse, asserts thatthe Moslems had half won the battle,when, for an unknown cause, theybegan to retire.

The failure began with a weakRedif regiment of Asiatics, whosepanic communicated itself to therest, culminating in a pellmell flight.

There was absolutely no truth inthe reports that Mukhtar Pasha, thegeneral in command, was a cowardor clumsy. He. was one of thebravest and best soldiers the Turkspossess. Reports that he was re-called disgraced are untrue.

The same officer describes the inci-dent of two sections of Turks firinginto each other. He says :

"Despitethe darkness, we poured lead intothe enemy, whose flashes were occa-sionally visible when the rain heldoff; The firing continued nearly allnight. We were losing prettyheavily, but advancing.

"Finally, with the dawn, we fellto the ground to rest, having wonthe battle, but were staggered tofind that the dead round us werenot dead Bulgarians, but Ottomans.Then the conviction dawned that wehad been fighting our own ; men.

"The Bulgarians evidently soondiscovered that something had upsetour formation, and soon after day-light, they attacked our weakestpoint, the semi-trained Bedifs. Thesebroke and ran."

Prince Aziz, second-in-command atthe battle of Kirk Kilisse, who wasreported to have fled in the finalrout, will shortly be court-martialled.

SIEGE OF ADRIANOPLE.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.Preveza, which was surrendered,to the

Greeks, is a Turkish seaport in SouthernAlbania, at the entrance to the Gulf ofArta. Its population in 1905: was 6500,of whom about four-fifths were Christian,Albanians or Greeks, -the remainder beingMoslems. The harbour ia available foronly small vessels. A considerable quan-tity of produce is exported from Preveza,the yearly value ranging from £70,000 to£80,000. A battle was fought there in1538 between the Turks and AdmiralDorid (a Genoese commander), the latterbeing defeated.

In view of Bulgaria's marked successesin the recent battles, the following tri-bute by Mr. Foster Fraser to the Bul-garian army is of interest: —"There issomething fine and noble in the way thelittle Bulgarian nation is equipping itselfto meet a great Power, be it Russia orTurkey. Now and then I heard. a groanat the burden of the army, which con-sumes a third of the national revenue. Itis borne because there is no Bulgarian whodoes not realise that his country may anydav be called upon to fight for its inde-pendence ... I visited .-.ana was shownover the great barracks beyond aofia. 1went out to the plains and saw the menat drill, for its size the Bulgarian army is

THE FISHING SEASON.

GOOD BASKETS AT ROTORUA.

v The fishingseason has opened very success-: folly, especially as far as the Rotorua dis-

,' trict is concerned. Fishing in the local.. streams has been of a rather patchy charac-

ter- Strange to say, many well-knownpools and haunts in the Henderson River

'■'. ■« and Creek have not been yet pro-"';' ductive of good sport, but in the Clevedon

• district good catches have been taken fromt , the MMingatawhiri and Wairoa.

The trout in the Rotorua lakes aregenerally in better condition than last year.

. During tho week-end a party consisting ofRear-Admiral Ross, Mr." Ttjjjdj Mrs.Fharazyn; and Miss Ross landifca* 24 veryfine specimens from Lake Rotorua. Messrs..Pepper and McCanley, of Rotorua, madethe biggest catch—46—all in good condi-tion. The average weight of the fish isnot so large as last year, but the troutappear to bo in much better " fightingform.

Anglers who havo made the Lower Wai-kato their first stream for the season statethat tho season there hail opened moreauspiciously than ever before. The basketswere not large, but each fisherman has re-ported some success, so there is evidencethat the stocking of the river has been ofgreat service.

MEN PAINTED LIKE CLOWNS.

CRUEL PRACTICAL JOKE.

[from otte own correspondent.]Sydney. October 30.

/An* extraordinary case was brought under'the notice of a magistrate at the CentralPolice Court in Sydney yesterday, inwhich it was shown that a dastardly jokehad been played upon two men namedHenry Lowa and Thomas Drew. The menwere found lying prostrate on the roadwayin a semi-conscious state, with their clothesdisarranged. Their faces had been paintedin various colours—liko the faces ofclowns. They were taken to the policestation, and a charge of improper be-haviourmade against them.

For the defence, Lowe stated that, ho

was a university coach, and a musician and■artist. Ho remembered that he had been

asked by some young men to go with themto try a piano, and ho was taken into an

hotel. Afterwards ho got into a vehicle,and he remembered no mote. Ho believedhe had a drink at the hotel, and had beendrugged.

Drew said ho was an upholsterer. liedid not remember getting into any vehicle,nor how he got to the place where he wasfound. He remembered joining some menin a drink, and a piano being played.They had a, drink, and that was all he.knew. • ' '■

The magistrate wiid ho had no doubttluit the two men had been the vc-itims of acruel practical joke, which had been per-petrated upon them by some persons whowere, at present unknown. He-'thereforedischarged them.

BLAZE IN QUEEN-STREETA MAN SERIOUSLY HURT.

REMOVED TO THE HOSPITAL.

I BOARDINGHOUSE BURNED.

Fire broke out just after two o'clock thismorning in a boardinghouse ;in the tipper

part Queen-street, known as- the Greer-ton Private Hotel. The house, occupied byMrs. Howard, had a frontago to Queen-street and ran back to Liverpool-street.: The fire had a. strong hold when dis-covered by one of the boarders, and it isconsidered by those who saw the blaze in;its early stages to be exceedingly fortunatethat all the occupants of the house got outalive. There were 18 boarders in thehouse. All the occupants were promptlyawakened, and with one exception wereable to get to the street in safety beforethe fire made exit by the stairway impos-sible.

A son of Mrs. Howard. Sydney JohnHoward, aged about 23, employed in theRailway Department., was not so fortu-nate.

"

He either jumped from a highbalcony or fell from a ladder, and waspicked" up bleeding and unconscious. Theinjured man was at once carried to theresidence of the' Rev. Jas. Cocker, whereDr. Murray attended to his injuries. Hewas later removed in an ambulance to thehospital.

The fire brigade turned out with greatpromptitude, but the fire liad a stronghold on the building before their arrival,and practically all thoy could do was tosave the adjoining buildings. At first itseemed that this would not be possible,and some furniture was hurriedly removedfrom the promises next to the burningbuilding. In a remarkably short time,however, tho fire was over, but little wassaved of either Greerton or its contents.

The building was of two-storeys, builtof wood. It burned rapidly and there waslittle chance to save any of the contents.Some of the boarders, however, succeededin bringing portions of their belongingsout of the building.

THE WEBSTER CLAIMS.

A SPECIAL TRIBUNAL.

SOLICITOR-GENERAL LEAVINGFOR ENGLAND.

[b? texeg: CORRESPONDENT.]Welungtox, Monday, i.

The Solicitor-General (Mr. J. W. Sal-mond) will leave for London on "Fridaynext, to represent New Zealand at thespecial tribunal that has been got up tosettle one way or the other the long-stand-ing Webster claim.

It will be remembered that some tenyears ago Dr. Fitchett accompanied SirJ. G. Ward to London in connection withthis case, and that last year Sir JohnFindlay, on a similar mission, accom-panied Sir Joseph Ward to London. Boththese visits seem to have been somewhat,premature, because until quite recently thespecial tribunal to deal with this .'andother cases had not been appointed.

Sir Joseph .Ward, towards the close ofthe session of 1910, explained that theclaim way one for £500,000, and was madeoriginally by an American whaler, whohad settled in the country years ago, andwhose successors claimed to be the pos-sessors of certain lands now owned by theCrown. The lands are. in the Aucklandprovince.

Tho Solicitor-General will probably beabsent from New Zealand for about sixmonths.

LONG RECORD OF CRIME.

A LIFETIME IN GAOL.

[Br TELEGRAPHSPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]Wellington, Monday.

Tub record of an aged housebreaker,Georgo Lee, who came up for sentence atthe Supreme Court thin morning, was ofan unusual character.

Though 75 years of age, he lookedyounger, and appeared to retain much ofhis youth, with reason, for his life hadbeen rigorously regulated. Since the agoof 28 he had probably not had a year outof gaol, certainly not a year at a time. Hohad been convicted on 18 occasions, andsentenced to terms of imprisonment aggre-gating 50 years and six months, this totalbeing subject, of course, to deductions forgood' conduct.

His principal sentences had been one of14 years,, two of seven years, three of fiveyears, and one of three years.

Lee was recaptured after a housebreak-ing attempt on Sunday, October 27, whenlie remarked to his captor, If I'd been ayounger man you would never have gotme."

" There is only one sentenco that can bepassed on you," said the Chief Justice(Sir Robert Stout) in passing a sentence ofthroe years' imprisonment with hardlabour, and declaring him an habitualcriminal.

HUSTON IN COURT.

A SERIES OF CHARGES;

SOLICITOR AND POLICE:

A SENSATIONAL 'INCIDENT.

ACCUSED COMMITTED FOR TRIAL.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]»

Whangarei, Monday.'The young man, David Lansing Huston,

who has earned considerable notoriety oflate, appeared at the Magistrate's Courtthis morning, before Messrs. W. Chadwinand R. .T. Kernohan, J.P.'s. He wascharged with breaking and • entering theHikurangi Hotel and stealing the sum of£3, also with stealing money and an as-

sortment of articles from Isaac Ringroseat Kawakawa on October 27. ■» He wasfurther charged with burglariously enter-ing McMahon's Hotel and stealing £3 Issd° and some articles of clothing, the pro-perty of Alfred Rawle. The third allegedoffence occurred during Huston's first es-cape from custody.

Two separate charges of escaping fromlegal custody were also entered.

The first witness called was themanager of the Hikurangi Hotel, who

gave detailed evidence regarding tho oc-currences on the night of September 27,when the first theft with which accusedwas charged occurred. He stated that hohad a large sum of money in the house.About two, o'clock in the morning heheard somebody moving about, and oncalling out was answered by someone,whose voice he declared was identical withthat of accused. He also went down-stairs and'saw in the moonlight someonerunning off, whom he swore positively wasaccused.

'David Morpeth Courts, a miner, resid-ing at the hotel, deposed to having beenrobbed of £4 18s on that occasion.

Harold McDonald said that on the nightof the robbery he was proceeding hometo Hikurangi at a late hour. Ho passeda man whom he would swear was Huston.

Other witnesses gave evidence in regardto Hvston's alleged thefts at Kawakawaand Whangarei Hotels on the occasion ofthe second escape

The conclusion of the first series ofcharges against Huston was,'marked by anunusual incident. Huston had conducteda vigorous cross-examination of the variouswitnesses, when a solicitor, Mr. A. J. Ed-munds, stood up in the body of the Courtand announced that he had been instructedto - appear on behalf of the accused. .Hesaid that he had been instructed by sym-pathisers of Huston. Mr. Edmunds triedto pass the prisoner a written piece ofpaper, but the police intercepted it. Astruggle followed between Sergeant Moore,Detective Hollis, and Mr. Edmunds, dur-ing which Mr. Edmunds was thrownheavily by Sergeant Moore, who exclaimed,heatedly: "The man is under the influ-ence of liquor." .

Mr. Edmunds indignantly denied the im-putation, and protested that the prisonerwas not getting a fair trial. The highly-coloured reports concerning Huston, hesaid, were all lies.

Mr. Chadwin, J.P.: If you are not care-ful you will be committed for contempt ofcourt. The Bench declines to listen to you.

Mr. Edmunds's parting remark was : "Hewill get justice at the Supreme Court,'.'

The incident then closed.The case for the prosecution took over

five hours, and at the conclusion Hustonannounced that he pleaded not guilty, andwould reserve his defence. He was com-mitted to the Supreme Court for trial.

Throughout the proceedings, Huston, inspite of the fact that he was handcuffed,took copious notes with a pencil and paper.

[by telegraph— association.]GisnonxK, Monday.

A mishap occurred at Rakaurou this morn-ing, when a man named Gavigan, engagedin connection -vith the construction of theRakauroa station bridge, fell from the topof the p; er, a distance of 40ft, and, it isfeared, sustained internal injury.

WORKERS AT WAIHI.

WORE OFFERING THANREQUIRED.

OUTPUT STILL INCREASING.

'A POLICE ULTIMATUM.

FIRM STAND IN FUTURE.

[BY TELEGRAPH.-—OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Waiiu, Monday.Nine men signed on with the Waihi GoldMining Company this morning, eightof the number being local workers.Five of the Waihi men are ex-perienced miners of long standing,and tho new arrival is also a practical un-

derground worker. Other Waihi minershave arranged to commence work on Tues-day and Wednesday mornings, and it isquite evident that the Waihi Companywill very shortly have all the men requiredunderground for the effective working ofthe mine with one sliift. Already it hasbeen found necessary to hold in abeyanceapplications for work on the surface, andthose whose names are being handed in willhe taken on as employment offers.

That good progress is being made by theunderground staff in the Waihi mine maybe gathered from the fact that during thepast week about 2500 tons of ore woreraised from the shrinkage blocks, and thestopes in which the men are breaking outquartz. Of the quantity mentioned, about50 per cent, was broken out, and the re-mainder drawn off from the blocks in whichthe ore was left "when the striko com-menced.

A nmnber of the workers! who had beentravelling to and from the mine by trainfrom Waikino took up their residence atWaihi to-day, being billeted in close proxi.mity to the main mine entrance. Theymarched down from work this afternoon,wuen there was a mild demonstrationagainst them by strikers and women, thelatter being much fewer in number thanusual. Evidently the firm attitude adoptedby the police on Saturday night has hada good effect. A further detachment of themen from Waikino will make Waihi theirpermanent homo during the present week.

The Waihi Gold Mining Companystarted the pumps going to cope with thewater which had accumulated in the mineworkings below the 1000ft level.

On Sunday night the federation leaders,Messrs. Webb (president) and Semple(organiser) addressed a largely-attendedmeeting, consisting mainly of strikers andtheir womenfolk, in the Miners' UnionHall. The workers were once moreurged to stand solid, and were assuredthat if they did so victory would botheirs. Although they had informed thestrikers on arrival in Waihi on Wednes-day evening last that it was their inten-tion to spend a week in Waihi, Messrs.Semple and Webb left by the train thismorning.

The demonstration of Saturday nighthas forced the police authorities to theconclusion that the patient and good-natured tolerance previously extended tothe strikers and their womenfolk has beenmisconstrued into evidence of weaknessand-, a warrant, for further.license. Theyhave accordingly decided to adopt infuture similar methods to those of Satur-day in dealing with such scenes. Theywill firmly arid, if necessary; 'sternly sup-press demonstrations and disperse mobs,whether men or women, in the publicstreets and about the houses of law-abiding citizens. No further warning willbe given, and persons forming part ofgroups or taking part in demonstrationswill be doing so at their own risk, andwill have to put up with the consequences.

TRAM EXTENSION DROPPED.

TROUBLE WITH ROAD BOARD.

The residents of Greenlane are keenly dis-appointed. They have learned that thetramway .extension from the JunctionHotel, Manukau Road, to the. Harp ofErin, for which all preparations had beenmade, is to be dropped. The residentswere looking forward to a tram servicewhich would bring them into close touchwith the city, and property-owners hadbeen building hopes and plans on the as-sumption that the cars would be runningto their district within a few months.A Herald reporter learned yesterdaythat the Auckland Electric Tramway Com-pany's action is due to the fact that theplana for the extension have not beendealt with by the Remuera Road Board.The Great South Road is under the controlof two local bodies, half of it under theOne-tree Hill Road Board, and the otherhalf under the Remuera Board. Theformer body expeditiously dealt with theplans, and passed them. The RemueraBoard, however, delayed the matter fromtime to time, and at last the companyhas decided not to take delivery of thematerial which had boon ordered for theline, and to allow the matter to drop.

Dissatisfaction, amounting almost toindignation, is expressed by Greenlane resi-dents, who express their intention of notallowing the proposal to full through soeasily.

The Remuera Road Board met lastnight It had no communication before itfrom the Tramways Company, and nomention was made of the decision, to dropthe construction of the line. The onlyreference to tramway matters was ,thepassing of a resolution authorising a pollto ascertain whether a doan of £7000should bo raised to form reading in con-nection with the tram extension on GreatSouth Rond.

AFFAIRS AT HUNTLY.

NEW UNION GROWING.

ARRANGING A CONFERENCE.

TO FIX MINING CONDITIONS.

The new, or Arbitration, union Jn the

Taupiri coal mines, at Huntly continuesto make progress. The secretary statesthat yesterday 44 applications for enrol-ment were received. That number heexplains, includes new names as v.ll asthose of several who had previously signi-

fied their adherence to arbitration pnn-

"Akeady the union contemplate.; theerection of up-to-date offices, and severalsites are under inspection m connectionwith the project. ,

A conference between the employersand representatives from the union is tobe arranged at an early date to discusswages and conditions, and to endeavourtotrrive at an agreement, to be ratified as

an award. ,. . . .

Tho new union, even in its initialstages, will be well off for funds in spiteof the-fact that members will only be re-

quired to pay 2s 6d as entrance lee. and

thereafter sixpence per week as subscrip-tion. In accordance with Act of Parlia-ment the coal mine-owners have to con-

tribute £d per ton for every ton of coalwon from the mines towards a miners re-

lief fund. As the employers have de-finitely stated that they will have nodealings with any union allied to theFederation of Labour, this amount will in

future be placed to the credit of the new

union. As about 7000 tons of coal arebrought up from the mines at Huntlyweekly tho amount to be contributed tothe new union will total over £14 perweek. '

BONERS FINED FOR BREACH OPPEACE.

and organiser of the Federation of Labour,arrived in Huntly by to-day's second ex-press. According' to a notice posted inthe window of the Miners' Union office,they will address a meeting of membersand their womenfolk to-night on the pre-sent situation.

Two miners were charged at the PoliceCourt this morning with threatening be-haviour, occasioning a breach of the peace.An argument occurred between the two,one of whom had worked while the troublewas o«i, and the other was out on strike.Heated words passed and a blow wasstruck. Both men pleaded guilty, andeach was fined 10s and costs amounting to7s. By consant a prohibition order wasissued against one, while the objection ofthe other to such order was sustained.

In evidence it was alleged that onedrew a revolver and fired it. Such evi-dence, however, was ruled out, as thealleged shooting incident will form theground for another charge.

There is every indication Hint the newrailway arrangements for the summer, in-cluding as their main feature the doubleexpress service on the Main Trunk line,are toprove verypopular. Already they have'met with wide public approval, and as. 1thetime-table becomes more known, the publicpatronage will undoubtedly be larger.

It must be pointed out that though theextra express trains now being run be-tween Auckland and Wellington do notappear to be so heavy as the ordinaryevening expresses when they arrive anddepart at the Auckland railway station,the traffic between intermediate stations,especially between Rotorua and Welling-ton, already fully justifies the running ofthe trains.

A Wellington resident who made use ofthe connection at Frankton from Rotoruawith the new daylight express on Saturday,is emphatically of the opinion that the ar-rangements are the bast yet. made on theNorth Island section, and .he says thetravelling public, with whom he comesinto contact a great deal, speaks highlyof the convenience to passengers to andfrom Rotorua. Often, he said, he travelledfrom Rotorua to catch the Main, Trunktrain early in the morning, but at Frank-ton—nino times out of ten— most com-fortable seats were already occupied byAuckland passengers, and the wholejourney to Wellington was often spoiledfrom this cause.It has been stated that in a week or

two's tiirce the railway authorities intendedto run two night expresses. A i-ailw&yoffioial diaracterised this as " absolute non-wense." The facts are, as stated in theHesalb on Saturday morning, that fortwo or three weeks at Christmas time theauthorities will have to run. three trails aday to and from Wellington, two beingnight expresses. In previous yearsthere have been two night expresses,and it is quite expected that evenwith three trains a day, the Departmentwill have a difficulty in coping with, thecrowds of holiday makers.

"Have there been any complaints thatthe midday express is an inconvenienttrain V an official was asked.

"Quito to the contrary," was the reply."As far as -wo have heard, the public ap-proves heartily of the new arrangements,and the new connection with the Rotomaline is very much appreciated."

As evidence of the support being giventhe extra Main Trunk trains, it may bomentioned that the accommodation on thesleeping-cars is being fully occupied.

THE ORAKEI BILL.

PROTEST BY THE MAYOR.

[BY telegraph.--own CORRESPONDENT.]Rotortta, Monday.

Tire following telegram has been sent tothe Prime Minister by the Mayor of Auck-land (Mr,' C. J. Parr) :~" Deeply dis-appointed over Orakei. Nothing can nowprevent Earl and Kent securing block forsyndicate. Already 14 transfer.? signedby Maoris during last few months topakehas at low prices. Maori oppositioninstigated by interested Europeans. I pre-sume the Government accept responsibilityfor the Native Minister's action, whichmeans the triumph of private speculatorsand utilisation of Orakei in the worst in-terests of Auckland and the Maori owners.I regret I cannot allow any party predilec-tions to prevent me protesting againstgreat wrong to Auckland.—-(Signed) C. J.Parr."

THE TAUPO RAILWAY.

PRIME MINISTER INTER-VIEWED.

ANY HASTE DEPRECATED.

NO LEGISLATION THIS SESSION.

[BY TELEGRAM— COIUIESrOKDENT-]Wellington, Monday.

Six Auckland members of Parliament in-

terviewed the Prime Minister (Hon. W.F. Massey) this evening in reference to-theproposal of the Taupo Totara Timber Com-pany to extend its light railway fromRokiai toLake Taupo. ' '

Mr. Young (Waikato) acted a* spokes-man, arid the other members presentwere :

Messrs. MacDouald (Bay of Plenty), B. P.Bollard (Raglan), Bradney .(AucklandWest), Mander (Marsden), and Myers(Auckland East).

Mr. Young recalled the fact that thespecial Parliamentary Committee which re-cently reported on the petition by thecompany recommended the Government toguarantee the debentures of the companyto the amount of £50,000, so that it mightextend its lino to Lake Taupo. The depu-tation desired, Mr. Young stated, that thePrime Minister should promote legislationempowering the Government to guaranteethese debentures. They did not desire thaithe Government should take this action un-less proper securities were provided andthe interests of the public were properlysafeguarded. What they wanted was thatthe debentures should be guaranteed if thePrime Minister was satisfied from his per-sonal inspection or from the reports of hisresponsible officers that it was desirableto do so. Unless legislative authority weretaken as suggested nothing could be donefor 12 months.

Mr. Myers expressed the opinion thatthe importance of the matter would war-rant the action Mr. Young had indicated.

Messrs. MacDonald, Bollard, Bradney,and Mander also supported the request ad-vanced by Mr. Young.

Mr. Massey : How many of yon gentle-men are familiar with the district ?

Mr. MacDonald said that he could tellthe Prime Minister lots about the districtif he had time. Mr. Myers also said some-thing about having visited the district.

Mr. Massey said that he had hopedto receive advice from gentlemenfamiliar with the Taupo . country.Ho continued that he would con-vey the representation of the deputationto his colleagues in the Cabinet, a» he wasin duty bound to do. Ho considered, how-ever, that this was not a matter whichshould be gone into hastily. It should beentered,upon only after proper inquiry. Hehad already indicated to the House thathe intended to visit the district as earlyas possible in the recess, and he hopedthat the Minister for Public Works wouldbe able to accompany him. At all events,he would be accompanied by experiencedofficers from the,Lands Department, andpossibly from the Public Works Depart-ment as well. He would then be in aposition to advise his colleagues as to what,they should do, •

|; It had been said that nothing could be[done for 12months. This was not so. The

j House would meet in June, and fromNovem-ber to June was seven months. If the matter

' were reported on favourably legislationcould be introduced without loss of timeafter the House met in Juno next.

"Personally," said the Prime Minister,"I am rather doubtful about the proposalmade by the deputation. I-do not thinkthat any action should be taken before Par-liament has had an opportunity of con-sidering the position as disclosed by. thereport, which will be made officially orotherwise after I have visited the district."

However, he continued, he would submitthe representations made to the Cabinet,which would meet on Wednesday morning.

LAW AND SANITATION.

A JUDGMENT CRITICISED.

Damages to the amount of £75 were re-cently awarded against the Remuera RoadBoard for the cutting down of some treesin the course of drainage operations. Thecase was heard by Mr. C. C. Kettle, S.M.,arid Messrs. H. R. Cooke and W. Garrettan assessors, and the judgment of theCourt was communicated to the Boardlast night in at: indignant letter, fromMessrs. Russell and Campbell, solicitorsto the Board.

The letter stated that the original claimhad been amended from £60 to £35 forthe loss of the trees, and from £35 to£80 for deprivation of shelter. Theywere loth to comment on the actions ofany Court; but there were instances inwhich a proper sense of the public in-terest demanded criticism. Eveu givingthe claimant the benefit of all disputedquestions of fact, the amount awardedwas on a generous, not to say an extrava-gant standard. "If in future/' the lettercontinued, " claims are to be treatedaccording to the standard adopted in thepresent, case, sanitation will become notmerely a burden grievous and intolerableto local bodies, but an impossibility, asbeing beyond their financial resources.''

Members, on the reading of the letter,expressed surprise at the sum awarded foran injury which they considered shouldhave been met by a much smaller amount.

The Chairman (Mr. J. G. Rutherford)said he did not see any good in pursuingthe matter. The Board could do nothingnow but foot the bill. The time when itshould have fought the case was when itwas being heard, and that time was past.

The discussion closed, and the letter wasreceived.

DETECTING WEEDS.

A HELP TO FARMERS.

To be able to detect the presence of weedsbefore they grow is a valuable power fora farmer to have at command. The De-partment of Agriculture is now assistingfarmers to recognise the seeds of variousweeds, so that seed samples can be ex-amined by purchasers and rejected if dan-gerous elements are present. The Depart-ment has prepared a supply of " weedseed reference cards," which are for sale,with a magnifying glass, at a moderateprice. Each "card" consists of two sheetsof glass, with a piece of cardboard, per-forated with 50 holes, about on inch indiameter, sandwiched between them. Ineach of the .W cells so formed'a smallpinch of a weed seed is cemented, and thename of the weed, in both vernacular andscientific terms, is printed beneath. Thecharts display the seeds very well by re-flected light, and the lens enables thecharacteristics of each to be clearly seen.An improvement might easily be made byusing a modified cement; with the pre-sent mountant the seeds cannot be clearlyseen with the light behind them but thecharts as they are should"find a welcomefrom all serious agriculturists.

PARLIAMENT.

THE LAND BILL.

PASSED THE COUNCIL.

BY THIRTEEN VOTES TO FOUR.

A "POISONOUS CLOUD" DISPERSED

[BY TELEGRAPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

. Wellington, Monday.The Land Bill passed its third reading inthe Legislative Council this afternoon.

The Council met in the forenoon, whenHon. H. D. Bell moved the third readingc? the Bill.

Hon. J. Rigg said he was prepared tovote against this Bill, because it was afreehold Bill, and he stood for landnationalisation. The State should neverpart with the fee simple of the land, butsimply lease it for reasonable periods, withrevaluation. Only by a system of landnationalisation could they hope to gel theunearned increment for the people.

Hon. Samuel said the Bill did not goas far as he would go, but it was in theright direction. The country was to becongratulated that "this poisonous cloud"of leasehold was being dispersed. Up tothe present the land policy of the countryhad been.that of the South Island, butnow the Minister for Lands was a NorthIsland man, and the North Island wouldno longer be held by the policy of theSouth Island. Ho was not satisfied thatthe right to the freehold had not beenextended to tenants on national endow-ment land. There was nothing sacred aboutthe endowments, and he believed that be-fore long the Government would realisethat what he suggested : was really desiredby the people.

Hon. C. Mills spoke in favour of theleasehold tenure.

In the afternoon the Hon. J.'Ban- re-sumed the debate. He admitted that therewere good points in the Bill, but said howould not vote for it because there wasnothing in it to promote close settlement,nothing to stop gambling in land, nothingfor the man with no considerable capital.

Hon. R. A. Longhnan said he wouldvote for the Bill because it was well-in-tentioned. ■'.■•' '■

Hon. J. T. Paul said he would voteagainst the BQI because it would not pro-mote settlement. The provision in thatdirection was purely .voluntary, and wouldbe inoperative.

Hon. J. Anstey entered his finalprotest against the Bill. The Govern-ment, he asserted,' was riot making anyeffort to increase the productiveness ofthe country. We vere approaching acrisiu, :aot only in the land position, but

!in the whole political situation. Therei was required a real Radical statesman-like treatment of the .whole question, -t ,

. Hon. W. Beehan and Hon. B. Harriscontinued the debate.

Hon. H. D. Bill, in reply, denied thatthe Bill aided speculation. Provisionhad .been made against speculation.

ALTERATIONS IN THE SYSTEM

PREFERENCE FOR OUTLYINGDISTRICTS;

NO MONEY. FOR LUXURIES..[BT rEXEOBAPH—SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.]

Wellington-,' Monday.Important amendments in the State-

guaranteed Advances Act are proposed inthe Bill introduced in the House of Re-presentatives to-day. The Bill embodiesthe Budget proposals 'regarding financialassistance to needy local authorities .inback block districts, and gives effect tothe policy enunciated by the Minister forFipance.

The existing law provides that the.in-terest to be paid by local authorities onloans from tho State-guaranteed Advancesoffice is to be at the same rate as thatat which the nonoy was raised, andthat the borrowing body is to pay a com-mission not exceeding one-half per cent, ofthe loan to cover expenses of administra-tion. The Bill now proposes the repealof tho provision for commission, and thesubstitution of a new provision that therate of interest shall be one-eighth percent, mora than the rate .at which thomoney was raised, and in calculating therate all fees, commissions, discounts, andother charges connected with the raisingof the loan are to be allowed for. Theseprovisions are to apply to all loans orany part of loans paid, to a local authorityafter the date of the passing of the newlaw, whether the application was finallygranted before or after that date.

Effect of Dear Money.Another important section authorises thepayment of a higher rate of interest on

loan moneys than originally contemplatedwithout obtaining tho further consent ofthe ratepayers by the local authority pass-ing a resolution at a special meeting, mak-ing a special rate to cover, the increased ;payment. It is also proposed that no localauthority shall have a right of actionagainst the superintendent of the AdvancesDepartment for failure on hia part to ad-vance moneys at the rate of interest atwhich the application for the moneys wasfinally granted by the Advances Board.Surplus moneys remaining after the com-pletion of any public, work for which aloan is granted are to be repaid to th«superintendent. ,

Provision is made for a local authorityto repay a loan in whole or in part at any'time. ,:.;.'.'

A DISAPPOINTING DERBY.i| SLOWEST TIME FOR TWELVE TEARS.

[Br ,TEr.HG!HPH.—OWS COBHESPOXDEST.]

CHRMTCBtrncH, Monday.In the Derby the Yaldhurst bracket, Bon Tonand Loa Rave, had a slight call in the bettingover the choke-bore pair, Autiunnua and Brownuwj. Tho pace from the start was very alow,Bon Rev« being allowed to run almost unat-Hi .i It was not until six fnrlong* from homethat the- r.ine wan really solid, and then BonRove had such a break on hi* field that the taskof overhauling- him was too much for the others.Haskaynei was running on better than anythingelse at the finish, but the race was very dii-appointing as a tert of merit oyer a mile and*-half, the time being the slowest recorded inthis venture for 12 years.

VICTORIA RACING CLUB'SSPRING MEETING.

now THE derby was lost and won.By Telegraph.— Association.—

Sydxtst, November 4.The Daily Telegraph, in describing the Derby

contest, gays :—" Cider on the rail? and Wolawa.next him joined issue over the last two fur-long', and 1 furnished one of the moat excitinghand-to-hand engagements ever seen for a! simi-lar race, Cider seemed to hold his own fornearly a furlong, but Wolawa stared belter,and gradually forged out, Lewi* easing him ashort distance from the port, the son of Wallacewinning rather comf6rtably. Perdila was badlyplaced at the entrance to the straight, but,getting clear, finished in the centre, of the coursewith a brilliant run, cutting out Aurifer forthird, which for a few strides seemed likelyto trouble the leader. Burrawang ran some-thing like a non-stayer, and never gave the leastsign of danger from the home turn. No ex-cuses can be made for Older'* defeat. Foleylet him run along In front, hugging the rails,and really rode a waiting race in front. Therewas some talk of a protest, but neither theowner nor trainer of Cider saw any grounds forone. Wolawa was certainly as clot» to Ciderall up the straight as he ,was entitled to be,but there was enough room to get through ifCider had been ablo to command the necessarypace/'

I The Sydney Morning Herald says that in spiteof the defeat of Cider, lie may safely be re-garded as the better stayer, and" had conditions"favoured him the same as they favoured Wolawa,the tablet would probably have been turned.Wolawa fairly worried Cider out of the racein the last two furlongs. Cider was under adisadvantage in not having anything to makethe pace for him, for he i*a strongpuller, and hisrider was fighting him for half the Journey. WithCider in front, and practically slowing down thefield for half the race, Wolawa was able toreserve himself and beat his rival at the finishfor pace. It was the slowest Derby for someyear*. Perdita really finished stronger than any-thing eke.

THE MELBOURNE CUP.The C2nd Melbourne Cup will be brought uofor decision to-day at Flemington. Kew SouthWale, u found this year with a strong hand,

and it seems pretty safe to offer the predictionthat the Mother State of the Commonwealth willonco again «upplj- the favourite. Duke Footehaving added the Melbourne Stakes to his listof captures, that circumstance, points to the sonof Sir Foote being in a position to reproduce hisbest form in the Cup. Even with the addition, of* 101b penalty, Duke Foote has an impost 161bbelow weight for age; «nd the fact of the NewSouth Wales horse having played his part brilli-antly in first-class company under standard con-ditions, it may be accepted as fully certain, thatif the V.R.C. handieapper had the right to re-fcntdicap him for to-day'* race he would be colledupon to carry nearly, if not quite, a stone morethan is opposite his name. There is one littlepointed fact beariug upon Luke Footo for a Jfel-bcurao Cup that will cause the well-groundedetudente of racing to steady themselves In sur-veying the question, and that is that the NewSouth Wales, horse has yet to be thoroughlytested as a stayer. Each time, however, thatDuke Foote waa rolled upon to gallop 12 fur-Jongs at Bandwick last month he completed thetask in a manner that left no room for a cavil,and we must not, of course, forget that Sir Footepreviously begat a fine stayer in Prince Foote.who won the Cup at three years old. Anotherstar performer uigaged in to-day's Cup is UncleSam. who, with a 101b penalty, has still thehandy impost of 7st 51b. Cnele Sam won histwo races at Oaulfleld last month brilliantly,and bred as he is. there is no reason whr heshould not stay out two miles.

DEBILITY, HEADACHE, LOSS OF APPETITE, Kdwsß|PIMPLES, BOILS, AND THAT RUN-DOWN, OUT-OF-SORTS FEEiIIT is well to remember that at this season, of all Others, the human system needs toning $* putting in thoroughly healthy condition. Now is the time to be on the look-out for tnejj^pß!- k.of spring. The human system, after the long siege of winter, is weakened through overwork—oyer- jwork of all the digestive organs, which have had to cope with the extra food consumed (a necessity |during the cold months), and overwork by resisting the attacks of colds and chills. The weatenefl >,

system is less able to withstand the renewed attacks of the severe change of temperature, arid infer- >[be toned up. At springtime you should feel so full of life and vigour, your energy shoujdfe|)« Pbubbling over. If, instead, you feel only equal to walking at a snail's pace—feel out of >*!*"' |out appetite, or have blood troubles, such as blotches, pimples, boils, rashes, eruptions, or irritation- gdepend upon it yon arc "liverish," your system is out of order, your Mood is impure, yon have spring fag. Bile Beans are <*"» ftnes * M** piknown for the ailments of spring. Being purely vegetable, and working on nature's own lines, they purify the blood, flush the bowels r. eW?;J '}mthem to natural effort, cleanse the stomach, regulate the liver and bile, and tone up the whole system ; and with your system thus toised dPi J* ||are In a condition to withstand the health daugers that lurk in the springtime.
