THE NEW TARIFF.gfiOTEST AGAINST" DUTY ONFLAN.

NELETTES AND SHIRTINGS*

A MlB-S-lNa of employers, employees and

©bhers interested ii t&e ebir. making andnnderclotfemgindustry wasbeld'lasbnightInSb. James'Hall. Wellingbon-Bbreeb. Themeeting was called bo consider bheproposedduties upon flannelebbes and shirting-There was acrowded attendance, and Mr J.J. Holland (the Mayor) presided.5 Therewere seabed on the platform Mrs E.Collings, Mrs Kerr* Mrs Hendre, MrsCaradus, Mra.Shera, Mrs Copper, andMessrs Geo. Powley, Rendell, Mulri Shera,Beehan, fitzsirdthoris, J. S. Dickson,(Secretory Early Closing Association),fernyhough, Robson, and Martin. .

TheMayor, inhis openingremarks, askedthatthe discussion should be confined botbe effec. of the tariffon the sfiifb industry.In looking over tbetariffand the suggestedconcession in regard to shirtings, ib ap-peared to him one-sided. The iarg6 mahu-facburers would" be able to import theirgoods* and the Government would allowthem, in bhe presence of theCustoms officer,to oub the material up for Bhirbings. Hewas givento understand thabonegentlemanthab day bad had orders to allow that bo bedone. jTbiswould bea great hardship toBmall 'manufacturer-. lb would certainlythrow oub of employmenba large number ofWomen and girls. He didnotbhink ibwas aLiberal measure to interfere wibh any in-dustry. He trustedstrong represenbationswonld be madebo bhe Governmenb in refer-ence* to bhis mabter, and alsobb all membersfor bhe Auckland provincial district. Hewould like bo see bhe Auclkland membersvote"as one man for once, and give a blockvoteagainsb bhe tariff. The Governmehbhad baken off Id in bhe pound from bea.Leb bhem keep bhab Id on. The reductionof bhe duby would nob beriefib any one intheroom in bhe leasb, for the Id would gointo fche pockets of the wholesale and retaildealers.

Mr J. M. Shera was then called upon.He said bhe tariff benefibed squatters,.addlera, clothing and obher manufacburers,"bub ifc did nobfavour shirb or underclothingmanufacturers; but on theother hand therehad been taken whab probection bheyhad. * He thought the blunder would nobhave been made if Mr Thompson had beendown ab-Welli.ig-on sooner, and had beenconsulted. (Cheers.) He was glad to hearthatthewj.hesof traderswould beconaideredby bhe Governmenb. He had pleasure inreading a telegram he had received fromMr Ward. Ib would be seen from bhistelegram bhab the wish of the Governmenbwas to tne6b tbe views of workers■■much ad, possible. The speakerthen read bhe following telegram :—"la reply to your, telegram of 3rd inst. IhaVe to state bhab bhe distinction betweengedefal cofcbon piece goods and shirtingcannot bo continued, being unworkable, andthe Governmenb is nob prepared to make allcotton piece goodsfree,bub ib is prepared toiavotirably consider any suggestion whichwould have, theeffecb ofavoiding injury tothe shi_bmaking indusbry, Calicoes andBbeetings remain free as before, bo bhabmanufacture of underclothing ia nobf-ffected.-nT.' G. Ward." The speaker-urged those present to make suggestions botheGovernment, for the telegram read wasthepledge of, bhe Treasurer bhab bheir in-dustries Would hob be affected. A greatleeßon was bo be learned in politicaleconomy from whab had taken placelately. Workers should stand together andeed bhab bheir industries werefostered.

Mrs Cbllings moved, "That, in theopinion of this meeting, the effect of bheHon. J. G. Ward's proposal to place 20per dent, ad valorem duby on ftannellebtee(which aro purely cotton), and 10 per cent,upon cqbbon shirtings, articles which, forclimatic reasons, are la.rge_jk,used, in NewZealand, will be to injuriously affect theBbirbmaking and underclothing industry inAuckland janpV surrounding,,..,.townships.""In Speaking bb bhe resolution, Mrs Collingsreminded the meebing! whab Mr Ward haddone fbr New Zealand. When thab gentle-manwis informed Whab the result wouldbe in Auckland, she had no fear bhab bhemistake made would be rightly settled.There'were thousands who could nob buyflannel, therefore bhey would see whab aninjustice - would be done. The Govern-ment had been bhe friend of bhe workingcl_t_.es, and intended tb be so.

Mr Geo. H. Powley seconded. He saidthab ahder an extra tariff New Zealandmanufacturers conld hot compete with thoforeign -made article; Boys' and men'sshirtfcould be landed in Auckland at 4s6d( per dozen, work and material included.Men's flannelette shifts,'after paying the29 per cehb. duty; could be landed ab some-thing' like 9s or 10s 6d. He wouldadduceorifor two factsfaceto face wibh the handsusually employed in shirt factories. Hehad hid made in his factory during thepalstsix months aboub 1,400 dozen shirts,add be wasWell within the line when -hesaid fully two-thirds came Under the newscheduleoftariffrates. If thenew tariffwasmade!law by Parliament, it would throwabout 40 of his (the speaker's) hands out ofemploytnent. Tho tailoresses would beaffected,-because the number of girlsthrown oub of employmenb at shirtmakingwould go to swell the ranks of applicantsfor work as tailoresses. He questioned ifany member of the late TariffCommissionbad any knowledge ofsoft goods. 'He didnot ktiOw where they got their informationabout flannelette, but ib was nob in Auck-land. They must have got ib from theproprietorsof the Southern woollen mills.

Mr Beehan said the Bhirt makers weregrea.iy to blame. When the Tariff Com-mission sathere nob One ofthose inberesbedin shirt making industry bothered to inter-view the Commission; The tariff was notthe tariffof Mr Ward, bub of-the Commis-sion. He (tbe speaker) bad never seen orheardof the'low-priced shirts spoken of byMr Powley, and "he did not believe any;bddy else had. However, "he knew theycould gob shirts ,made up' at 2s 6d perdozen, butthis was hob in. factories:like Mr.Powley's :and others. When bhey heard:thab they,musb think there was "sweat-ing" in Auckland, and of a severe typetoo.,

The motion was pub and carried unani-mously.

MrFifczß.mmons said large factories withexpensive plant would be shut up if theduties werecontinued. He then asked per-mission to move thefollowing :—" That MrWard, in the Financial Statement, Saidthere was a surplusab the end of the pre-sent financial year of '£180,000,and yet intfie face of this large, surplus ib is proposedto still further increase the burdens oftaxation ; - that therefore this meetingenters its emphatic protest againsb stillfurther increasing the burdens ofthe peopleof this' coictriy."

At) .the! suggestion of the. Mayor, MrFitzsimmons subsequently withdrew themotion, owingto its political character.

Mr Ht Fi Coope. moved :—" That the im-position ofthe duties upon flannelettes andcotton shirtings, while shutting up smallfactories, will not so materially affect-thelarge ones able to import goods in bulk,and afterwards cut them up tinder thesupervision of .a ~ Customhouse j officer,thereby bringing them in duty free, whilethis small; manufacturer must bhy- locallyfrom the importer, who has paid duty."The speaker said he did nob thinkthe newduty on flannelette wouldwork at all. 'Heread thefollowing telegramfromMr Ward:—"In reply .to your telegram 3rd ins..,Thave to inform you that the cutting up ofcotton piece goods for*shirt-making is notprovided for*at present; bub the Govern-ment isprepared to favourably Consider thequestion."

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE.ERUPTION AT SUNDAY ISLAND.

KAIPARA MAORI HISTORY,

THE TRAINING! OF SCHOOLTEACHERS.

A meeting of the Auckland Insbifeube washeld lafb eveningab bhe MuseumBuildings,forbho purpose of amending a rule of bheInstibube, and ot hearing bhree papersread. Professor Thomas presided. A by-law ofthe Institute was albered On avobebeing baken, bo read bhab retiring mem-bers of the Council should nob be eligibleforre-election for 12months.

The Secretary, Mr Cheeseman, read apaper by Mr Percy Smith; Surveyor-General,, consisting chiefly of an accountof a forgotten volcanic eruption which, oc-curred ab Sunday Island^ Kermadec group,in bhe year 1814. The accounb in questionwas from bhe Sydney "Gazebbe" of Sep-tember 17, 1814, and was published undertheheading of "Ship News." Itgave aninteresting description of the firsb knowneruption ab the Kermadecs, whereib was described" as having takenplace in Denham Bay, Sunday Islands.The account describedbhe firsb appearanceby. volcanic agency*;,. on the;Bth March,1814, of an island,of -, loose, volcanic-matter,ab bhe entrance to Denham Bay. All thishad disappeared when Mr.Percy .Smithvißibed Sunday Island in 1887, in the Go-vernmentsteamer Stella;. The upheaval ofthe island was witnessed by Gapt. Barnes,of a Sydney vessel named the Jefferson,which had been engaged in trading on thecoast of New Zealand. In March, 1814,he was engaged in getting wood ab Sun-day Island, and while in Denham Bayhe took soundings, which ehowed bhabbhere we.c 45 fabhoma of waber on aUnewiththe heads of bhe Bay,,graduallydecreasing to 16 fathoms near the shore.On the Bbh of March the Jefferson wasaboub 21 miles off Sunday Island, whensuddenly a thick Cloud of dark smokyappearance was observed above the island,where ibremaioed all day. Ab midnight aflame broke forbh, andbhe atmospherewasfilled wibh a sulphurous odour. CaptainBarnes reburned to Sunday Island, andfound bhe appearance of Denham Bayentirely altered. An island occupied theplace where 45fathoms of water had beenfound a fewdays previously, lb was threemiles in circumference, bhe outer edgebeing ona line wibh bhe heads. The waberwas very warm around fche island, and ibwas still smoking, and Was evidenbly asmouldering mass. Subsequently CaptainBarnes was informed by Captain Jones, ofthe King Georgo, that he (Jones) had sometime previously Bounded Denham Bay, andab the place where Barneß found 45fathoms ho could geb no bottom with a leadand line. This showed bhab theisland hadbeen gradually growing up from the bottomofthe sea, and tea vnsb area was shown bybhe facb bhat its summib was three milesround. No brace of bhis island nowremained,

In the course of .remarks on thia paperProfessor Thomas remarked thab similarinsbances of eruptionalost to Maori memorymight have occurred in New Zealand, andhe instanced Rangibobo as a volcano which,ib was quibo possible, had been in eruptionin comparatively recenb times, say two orbbree cenbudes ago. ' -.. 'The nexb paper read was one on "TheHistory of Otakanini Pa." (in the Kaiparadistrict) by Mr Percy Smith, including atranslation of an accounb of bhe old pa sup-plied by Hami be Waewae, a chief of theNgatiwhabua bribe, in connection wibh thepreaenbatibnto bhe Auckland Museum of acarved post or tiki which formerly stood abbhe gateway of thepa. Ib waß stated thabbbc Otakanini Pa, which was famed in theolddayß.of "tribal warfare for several cen-turies back aa a very sbrong fortification,was situated ab bhe junction of a navigablecr6ok with bhe Kaipara Harbour, jusb southofthe"Aotea Bluff. Ib stood ona hill aboutrlOOfeethigbj defendedby terraces* and by*bhe tide on one side and a swamp onanobher. Near bhe foot of the hill on oneside there was a spring of water, and ofbhis spring ib was said thab ib waa bhenceRona (the Maori equivalent of bhe "manin bhe moon") was taken up into themoon after having struck her footagainßb a root while going for water.This was a carious illustration of thelocalisation of a world-wide mybb. Oba-kanihi firsb emerged inbo bbc lighb of his-tory aboub ten generations ago, in bbc timeof Maki, the chief of the Ngaiwi or Nga-riki tribe, who formerly held the Auck-land poninsula. Maki attacked Otakaniniand killed many of its defenders.Subsequently bhe Ngatiwhabua tribe camedown from tho North, and overran theKaipara disbricb. They attackedOtakanini,whipb washeld by Ngaiwi, and^besieged ib,ih a somewhat unusual fashion. / They,plied bhe pa with long epears made ofmanuka, sharpened in the fire, and .brownby moansof a kotaha orkopere, a whip-likeoontrivance known bo the old Maori, from adistance of sorbe 150 yards. Under coverof this shower of spears, they advancedand took the pa wibh great slaughter.This siege took place about the year 1700.Subsequently Pokbpbko-wbiti-te-ra, a greabchief of Ngatiwhabua (and celebrated as abaniwha slayer), occupied the pa. Between1830 and 1840 Ngabiteaba and Waikato pre-pared to take Ofcakahini,bub did nobadvance, arid ib was ab bhis time bhab bhepa was re-builb and tbe tiki,or c»rvedpost,named " Te Whare-o-Riri," whidh ie notf in jbhe Museum, was erected.

The third paper read ab bhe meebing wasone by the Rev. J. Babes, of North Shore,On "'The Training of Teachers for PrimarySchools." Mr Bates, in the course of athoughtful and carefully-written paper,

iSajd^tl^to be a successful teacher soundelementaryknowledge musb be possessed,aswfill as belch nical knowledge of ihe arc ofteaching; There were many evils con-nected with the present system ofteaching, and amongst tttese wasbhe undesirable practice of puttingyoung people wibh a email . sbock ofknowledge to teach children, the verypurpose for which they were leaßt fitted.This was unfair to bbth teacher and chil-dren. Secondary schools and universitieswere of the greatest possible use in thepreparation of teachers, and they shouldbe closely allied with the primary schoolsin connection with the wOrk of preparingyoung people for the teaching profession.There should be also a practising school,through which all young teachers shouldbe required; bo pass. Some reform wasbadly needed ih the matter of trainingteachersfor the primary schools.

A discussion followed, in the course ofwhich Professor Thomas Said .it was aserious injury to any child to be tai-ghb bya pupil beacher. The presenb system wasab fault very grievously in some respecbs,especially with regard to the qualificationof teachers, and he thoughb thab thereshould be a beacher to teach the art ofbeaching and the method of the work toyoung befichers, while the head teachersought to spend, their time in insbrucbinl-their pupil teachers how to teach.

There are abdtibfive feet of the reef stripped ready forbreaking down. No. 3 reef, low level:The south driveis in 18 feebfrbm bhe cross-cub. The reef for bhe lasb six feeb drivenhas been pinched up, no gold showing.The drive going norbh is in 23 feeb, .be reefbeing sixfeeb wide in bhe face. The hang-ingwall portion for the last three feeb hasbeen low-grade quarbz, bub firsb-rabe crush-ing dirb bas been coming bo hand from bhefootwall, gold showing freely in strong dabsin the stone. Yesterday about 51b of goodpicked stonewere obbainedj leaving goldstill showing >in the reef towards the floorof the drive. There are aboub 16 bons ofquartz on hand.

Bunker's Hill, —The manager tele-graphed yesterday : "No reporb thisweek.The Bhafb is down 104 ieet. A nice lookingstringer ia coming in ab bhe bobbbm:" i

Golden Hill Extended.—No. 1 leader10 inches thick. A few pieces of solidquartz showing some coarse gold were got,bub nob good enough to be called pickedstone. Ib looks well for both the solidquartz and the rubble to be carrying,gold.No. 1 leader is two inches bhick of solidquartz, which shows a few colours of gold.The leader haß heaved a little, and anobher10 feeb driving should reach the junction.

Invicta.—ln the No. 2 level, the coun-try is disturbed, bub the reef niceprospects" of Iboia' gold; ,! There "are""9inches of quartz, Ab No. 1 level there arefrom 4 bo 6 inches of quarbz, some ofwhich-shows nice little dabs of>gpld. Inthe winze, thegold is now going down inthe floor, and really firsb class crushingdirb is being also gob, also a few pounds ofpicked sbone.

Whau. —A greab change has bakenplace in the country sihce starting thedrive on thesouth end of the winze. Thewhite hungry parb of the reef has disap-peared, and what is left though smaller, ismore favourable for gold. A very goodclass of quartz is being driven, on in bheFlying Cloud section of themine.

Try Fluke,—The reef in theVenus sec-tion has been stripped for nine feeb, andwill be broken down this week. In thesecond and third stopes the ore prospectswell. There is no change of importance inthe Mariposa section. From the Flukesection a quantity of ore has been sent .6the mill from bhe stopes above bhe No. 4level.' There are on hand 78oz of amalgamfrom bhe plates.

Hauraki No; 2.—The leader has openedoub to a large reef from 2fb to 2ftGin thick,a fine solid body of well-mineralised stone,which looks well for gold. The manageradds:—" There is no doubt ib is the Hau-raki No. 2, or wHab is known aB Legge'sreef. Ib bas bhe S-me underlie, and bhecourse is the same, and we may get goldany time."

Welcome Find,—The prospecting driveis complete to the Just-in-Time shafb, anda cross-cub has been commenced behind bheshafb in a eoubh-weeb direction. Thisshould intersect the most imporbanb gold--bearing lodes in bhab parb of the mine.

Imperial.—The manager has extendedbhe drive 17 feeb and hopes to reachthe main break in a fortnight or threeweeks, and then he expects bo be onpayableoreab once, according bo bhe prospects lefbin bhe bottom of the winze.

THE OHINEMURI GOLDFIELDS.(FROM OUROWNCORRESPONDENT.)

Thames, this day,This parb of our auriferous-peninsula iarapidly becoming one of bhe most impor-tant mining centres in the whole of theAustralian colonies. Paeroa shows strongevidenceof"substantial progress, as beingthe chief centre. Ib is only natural thabmostprogress should there bo noticeable.In order to furnish accommodation for bherequirements'of the general public, MessrsCassrell's and Bennett are erecting a largeball in place of the original public hall, inwhich to hold either public meetings, orconcerts, etc. The building is a splendidstructure, and lain informed bhab itsseating capaciby; iaseb-down ab 600.

The sameremark applies to Karangahakeand Waihi, the other two important centresof mining. As bhe main object ofmy visibto these districts is, however, to furnishreliable information as regards bhe develop-menbs in the difierenbmines; I musb confinemy remarks to the objecb of my tour.

GLADSTONE MINE (Waihi).In a previous reporb upon this,property

I gave a full explanation of the positionoccupied by this mine, and the variousworks that had been performed up to thetime of my visit; Since then, Mr Holliß,the.,Syndicate's energetic and courbeoU-manager, has opened up works which haveevery appearance of proving bo be of ahighly remunerative character.: The driveupon, the No. 4 reef has been advancedeastward a distance of 45feeb since my lastvisit two months ago, and the total lengthnowopened up on this quartz body east-ward of bhe crosscut is 65 feet. Ib will alsobe remembered bbab the drive was carriedalong the footwall of bho lode, and thegreater parb of the reef was leftStanding.In order to' ascertain the exact dimensionsofbhe lode, Mr Hollis started the men tocub into the hangingwall, and since thenthe lode has been penetratedfora distanceof nine feeb,and still bhere is no signof the hangingwall. /The formation iscompacb and well defined, and is composedofribs of solid quartz separatedbyrubblybands of the same matter, only thicklyimpregnated with silica and oxide of iron.The appearance of the lode is really;splen-did, and it is certainly- worthy of furtherextensive development. Tb'wit. be recol-lected bbab this No. 4 lode did nob corres-pond with the large body opened upat. Usoutcropon the surface and that the presenblow level would have to be extendedeast-ward a considerable distance to intersectwhab will now be known aa tho No. 5 lode.Mr Hollis, Iam pleased boBay, has adoptedbhe same idea, - and: with' thab object inview, he has temporarily suspended the ex-tension of thedrive upon theNo. 4 loder-andremoved themento carry out the; furtherextension of the low level due east, andinterseci) theN0.~5 lode.1 Sofairadistance of33ft has been driven from the hangingwallof the No. 5 reef, and anobher 15 or 20fbfurther driving ebould see bhis lode to hand.The country penetrated is ofa very kindlydescription, and in the face of the crosscutnumerous manganese seamsand small veinsare striking in the direction of 4where thequartz body;should; be met .with. ; In ad-dition bo these indications of the. .closeproximity to an ore body, there is a goodstream of water flowing; from the face.This alone is strong evidence that the levelis approaching a formation of some kind.However,Ilookuponbhis No. 5 aabherichestlode bhab has so farbeen opened up in theproperty, and from assays baken from thewinze sunk down ab bbc outcrop, the resulthas far exceeded expectations, yieldingfrom £5 bo. £22per ton. The ore which gavethese handsome results was broken fromthe very centre of the lode, extendingthrough a thickness of 2 feetof solid wavysilicuous quartz. The size Of .the lode atthiß Doint is fully four feeb in thickness,and is partly separated by a band ofsandstone closely associated with thequartz portion of bhe lode. ,1 dohob for a momenb estimate bhefull thickness of the qttartz body atbhe above, but I ami prepared to say thabif the lode were shot oub from wall towall, and: bhe ore passed through a stonebreaker, the assay results would yieldas high as £5 to £7 per ton. When thislode is intersected in the low level I wouldStrongly recommend the syndicate to putthrough a parcel ab bhe Thames School ofMines. The ore is of a, free milling class,and I am sure the cyanide process will bewell adapted to its treatment. Since miylasb inspection of the surface parb, bhe boplevel has been cleaned out, but at presentib is nob the intention to extend the level,'simply because the extension of the lowlevel will prospect all bhe country eastwardof the NoB. A. and 5 lodes. Itwill thereforebe seen that bhe works: under Mr Hollis'careful supervisionare all in a veryprogres-sivesbabeand are almosb certain bo eventu-ally prove of a profitable character. ;

LANDSAND SURVEYREPORT.: /ey telegraph.—parliamentary re-

porter.) ,:"-.,-■ Wellington, this day.

THE report of the Lands and Survey De-partment will be a somewhat) elaboratepublication when completed. It will

; tontain a large number of photogravures

" aiid maps, and will be a handsome andI btereating addition to any library. Fromi: Se firsb parbof the reporb which has been

|__ue'_. we learn that there have been noI vary prominent features ia dealings wibh

L'rovyn lands during the period under!I Hjnaideration, bub settlement haa gone on j

ateadily. The principle of. bhe presenb jj Ljiod A-b, and of bhe Land for Settlements

''Act. is the lease in perpetuity system,and consequently bhe greabesb num-ber, of selections take place on that

■->.D_re. .A- very considerable portion'■'"-jf the land now offered to thepublic, what-!

syer difference in detail theremay be*must,by law be selected under that system ;knee ibis seen that selections under thatheading exceed others.. During the year(Ming March, 1895, there were 38,719acres taken up for casts 5,497 on deferredpayment, 1,263 on perpetual lease, 75,500

■fin occupation wibh ,the right of purchaseiyfltem, 166,037. on the, lease mi perpetuity'jistem. and 568,293 iacrea of pastoral runs.

'"':'l__ deferred payment and perpetuallease tenures are practically obso-lete but there are a few uncompletedtransactions. ... In order to arrive ab someidea of bbc mosb popular, system underthe presenb Act, figures relating to lands.elected on the "optional system "must beteforrfld to, with this qualification, however*that the cash sales include rural lands soldatauc'bion. They are nob very many, andgenerally conßisb of small areas on whichvaluable timber is growing. ' Taking

'.--o.4inj.ry Crownrural lands, bhe figures areas follows:—Cash selections, 174 selectors,3_j._3 acres, from 8s 2d to £112s sd, cashprice per acre. Occupation with righb ofpurchase, 398 :selectors, 75,477 acres, renb8d per acre. Lease in perpetuity, 336

> .electors,87,374 acres, renb 7'7d per acre.It will thus be seen that, bo far thismethodof testing popular feeling is concerned,the desire to obtain leases with the pur-chasing clauseß preponderatesslightly overiihab for a lease in perpetuity. On the 3lsb6i March, 1895, the number of Grownt-_'auts waa 15,326, and the terriborialFeV-hu. collected was £375,879. Up bo the31b. ofMarch last there were 2,547 selectors_. purchasers of Crown lands under allsystems during the year, to which may beadded 68 selectors of endowment landsdealt wibh by the department, and16 under the Mining DistrictsLand Occupation Act, making 2,631 in all.The total number the previous yearw&a 2,876, showing a decrease of .245.electors. Bub 491 selectors in ten associa-tion blocksi whose lands were nob finally

X illdbbed onbhe 31sb March,are nob includedin thefigures 2,547, the number of people).who lii&y be considered as having taken uplands for the purpose of making homesthereoD, and residing therewithin a shorttime. The decrease in the number ofselectors is due in a great measure tothewanb of accessible lands — settlementhaving- in rrost districts extendedbeyond roads—and also to the scarcityOf- really good lands. The recentacquisition by the Crown, however, of somegoodlands, and the extension of roads tothem, will enable the Department to offer,daring the coming season, some desirableblocks, which it is believedmany people arewaiting for. The area opened for sale,, -election and lease during the year was1,132,-33 acres. The area of agriculturalland remaining in the colony suitable forelaall holdings is very limited. Ab the j, pfMen^timeVtheUrbwnowns scarcelyany,:abd.thiß considerablearea of land still heldby Maoris, providing for theirown wanbs, will fnrnißh bub libble level

lof firab-class quality. During the periodunderconsideration, ten new special settle-ments were completed, so far as ballotingfor allotments was concerned. They arecomposed of 262 members, and the areaselected is 51,345acres, all under leaae-ih-perpefcuiby. In addition, however, to tenassociations, there are twelve .other nu_o>beriiig 491 members who have selectedblocks, bub in which [individual selectionshave nob been made. This system has beenthe means of settling a considerablearea of country, and is so far successfulwhere the position and character ofthe lands admit of a living being madeoff small areas. During the year fournew. iVillage homestead settlements wereformed, and 95 selectorstook upan averageof25| acres each.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1895.

Although two Licensing Bills havebeen introduced into Parliament, verylittle public interest has been mani-fested. This is, perhaps, attributableto the fact that general attention hasbeen concentrated on the tariff andtreaty proposals, which for the timebeing have thrown all otherproceed-ings of the Legislature into theshade- The Bill advocated by theNew Zealand Alliance is in chargeof Mr McNab, and its leading]principle is, of course, the total aboli-tion of the liquor traffic. It providesfor dealing with local option by atriennial poll, when the question of1license or no license is to be submittedto the voters. Colonial prohibition^ isto be dealt with on the same day onwhich a general election, takes place,when a straight-out vote is to be give*lfor license or prohibition. Ineachcase the votes of abare majoritydecidethe question. The Bill has!passed its jsecond reading, but no onesupposes]fora moment that it has the sUghtest jchat.cc ofbeco_nibg law_':; " " ! 'The .licensing battle this sessiont.-is?likelyto jrage round the Bill which QicGovernmentlias drawn up witha. viewof amendihg the Act of 1593. It isnow two years since the AficohoiicLiquorsSale Control\Act was passed,and a sufficient lime has .elapsed .tororm something like a ccacrect estimateof its adaptability to theof the colony. Ncrtwit__s»a_-!Kng ,theclamour that was raised -tgai__S-.it incertain quarters, it must he admittedby every unprejudiced person that themeasurehas on the wholeworkedwelLThat certain. modincations; would feerequired was thought highly p-Obable,and experience has shown that - thesurmise was correct, ' The design ©ftbe Government is, as the Pi«raierstated in the' House, to deal with ithiisvexed question so that it shonSd -totbe a distarbing dement session aftiersession,. and impede., the. propess.ofother measures of great in-portanoe totbecountry.■ We ha-re,already _?«en an.©a-Biaieof the.

This provisiion h not re-tained in the Amending B-% ait-I theconcession wiß_ nodouht-fee. tegan^eda®of great importacsce by the p_o6iß-Btiis£c_ii_party. In order to affsatd an' ©pgxß----tnnity for a substeßtHal espsessui-a. ©fthe wishesof the publSc,: it- is p©Tafledthat the -icensingelectaonfshal foe hdldon'the same'dayas ,:the gemeaal eles>.tionof men-beis to the- Horase.

It is "provided- in the Ball that iffp.ohibition is earned at the.poMs thesame"""iaajQii^' o. threc^fifths is re~quired toreverse it. This is obwionsSyfair, although we. notice ■ that sojue'.-oftbe prohibitionists in the South a»etaking exception to it';ias weßl:as' to thethree-fifths majority in .aTonr ofprohibition. At present an increaseof populationof as per cent is neces-sary to the i-tcresse of licenses,■■butiathe Bill an iuexease of.only io percent, is required, a change: which,although apparently warranted hf.

circumstances, fs safe to be opposedby' the prohibitionist party. Theexistence of Bellamy's is madesubjecttb a poll of members of each House,clubs" are subjected to ordinarypublichouse hours, and in common withrailwayrefreshment rooms, are subjectto prohibitionist votes. The proposedabolition of bottle! licenses and NewZealand wine licenses will no doubtgratify the temperance party.

The vexed question of . supplyinglodgers and travellers is morestringently dealt with, and in future thethirsty, traveller on. Sunday must havemade a journeyof five miles in orderto qualify himself tobe supplied;withliquor. .

The interests of the Maori race aresafeguarded by a provision -.whichmakes ~it penal to supply; a Maoriwoman with., liquor at. all or, to sellliquorto an intoxicated malenative.r It Is a frequent ccKhplanttb^pn)-hibited persons are suppliedwithstrongdrink. In order to place additionaldiffi-culties in the way ofevading the law,the Bill provides for the punishmentofa prohibited person, who is.: foundinside a public house, except as alodger /. on business, and a heavypenalty is inflicted upon anyone whoprocures liquor for him. ..;■..,."■>.■■

We believe that many of the pro-visions we have enumerated^.■■vwooldprove highly beneficial in: operation,and theBill is undoubtedly an honestattempt on the part of the Governmentto.deal fairly and equitably wi.h allparties. Where there is so much em-bittered feeling, Ministers can hardlyexpect to fully succeed in satislyingeverybody, and we observe; that theBrewers' Association in Wielfipgtoo andthe Proihibitioh Leaguein Chr#churchare already pointing ont objeciiototo the measure from their respectivestandooihis.

With respect to a separate vote fewrcolonial prohibition, objection may,l^taken to it ,

fo- the Rroond that iiviolates the principle of local: .option,and it is probable that if this prav_sMM_is .retained it will..be "the: csmsty;&friction,"' -and prore y a t-SsSsmlbii-igfactor ■in the' local regaJalic_n.:= of; Bluetraffic: in alcoholic liquors.v.-If totalprohibttion, as advocated by «he NevrZealand Alliance^is evertobe ecachedj,wc believeitwouldhave morepurospcitof pennaoence if amvod-^at, emiilirdljFthrough the mediam of lotal <D^-_i_-n-..Undera natio-tal po!8 tiaere tmv^n%,feinstance, be an overa-.e-B-M_g -Ensjjffisnit^'ih favour of prahibi-ion im tine SOTitt--Isiand,.whae:-!_te:-_-m«ißiiie-iit ms <did__i|-p-trnttvely7: weak in: t_.se N^&.-;__-riSa»ißi-li:%t--imvi^hcf:jaxaa£e^^,m3mss,ya. __»?&

CHAPTER X.The .newly-wedded pair, in accordance;with thewish ofthe land, were to residein

Rafaela's native capital for the present,and Duke Henry had had Sophymhof, a

charming palace which had been theresi-dence of the dowager:duchessj fitted up forPrince CarlGuatav and his young wife.

Sophienhof was a rococo palace of themoßb ideal style. Its graceful pillars,balconidß and turrets rose like a fairycastle from the beautiful park, with its

terraced gardens, where were fountainsfend hedge, and bowers interspersed withwhUie marble statues, the whole place so-preserved in its original .character, thatone might fancy that ladies and gentlemenwith powdered hair and high-heeled shoesstill walked along thegay sand walks, intherear of bhe castle, mysterious, windingpaths led to grottoes, pasb stone benches,mythologicalfigure., urnsand ivy wreathedmonuments and deep, green_ ponds, onwhose surface floated water-lilies, whileblooming shrubs bent and touched thowater. .; , , _

Could there be a more ideal spot for atoowiy wedded pair than this castle, whosefurniture, much of ib unchanged for twocenturies, had seen many an interestingbib of bhe ducal family life1, The fadeddamask could bell many a taleof laughter,of jesting,dancing and feßjDivitie.. of Bighßand mabybitbor bears. ;

Great changes bad taken place inSophienhof-. Ab firsb thesummerresidenceof ite'builder, one of bhose German princeswhose ideal had been Versailles, his misfor-tune .«' .a Versailles. The sins beautifulwomen had committed in these halls, thefaith, belief and pure lovethey had deridedhad soon been expiated by the deep sorrowof noblewomen.

Sophienhof was an ill-fatedplace. Fromthe momenb when its builder, the dissolute__»uke Augusb Maximilian, sank down withan apoplectic stroke in the midst of hismistresses, a champagne glass in his hand,misfortune had lurked at thethreshold, andeach one musb learn to fear its gloomypower.

Thus, in thecase of theDuchess Leontine,who, ia defiance of all supersbition, gave aball in Sophienhof. Remorseless fate de-creed that at this very ball, her favouritedaughter, Princess Hertha, rushed madlythrough the corridors, screaming for help,her garments ablaze, and sank down,terribly burned, before one of the guests,paralysed as they were with fright, couldspring to her assistance. And yet again,when, the late duke, father of the rulingone, an enemy to superabibions,ventured toarrange a skating party on thetwo lakes,Jobe followed by a little Bupper and dancein Sophienhof: .- "

The windows, usually so darkj alreadyblazed with light; the instruments of theorchestraworebeing tuned ; thefirsb guestdrewnear. ■'"

But how? Resting on a -.retche., hisbleeding bead covered with an officer's cbalimortally wounded by a fall upon-tbe joe,they bore Lieutenant yon Schmehlen intoSophienhof.

Flutes and violins, were hushed. Alllaughter died in tbe last sigh ofa man whohad daredcome toSophienhof forgaiety.

And it was in this house of evil omenthai the darling and Only hope of the landwas to enter as a radiant) young bride.Society heard bho news with a thrill ofexcitement; and bhe courb marshal wasoverwhelmed with anonymous letters, con-taining the mosb urgenb warnings andpetitions.

The courbmarshal ventured afewremarks.0 Duke Henry concerning bhis, bub hitupon an unfortunate hour, when hissovereign was in anill-temper.

'Nonsense! Ridiculous!' cried the duke.* The people do nob know what theywanb.First they desire thab Prince Carl Gustavreside here with his youngwife, and thenBorne superstitious fools come with theircroaks, and wish to prevent Sophienhoffrom being occupied. Where else can theyoung couple lire? Say yourself, excel-lency, is there anobher suitable building ?The old caable, ruined by fire, cannob berebuilt in a night. There is no suitable

* villa to be purchased.. Why should bheideal little palace be lefb to the rabs ? Be-cause afew unfortunate chances havemadesuperstitious minds believe in the mostabsurd old'iwives' tales. Prince Carl Gustavand the princess also, declared decidedlyfor tho Sophienhof. I would do anythingrather than attempb to dissuade one of ourbravest princes from a residence there be-cause theplace is reported tobe ill-omened.Therefore, excellency, have thekindhesß tosuppress all these foolishreports to thebesbofyour ability. For my part, I wish to betroubled no morewith such nonsense.'

And .so ib remained. The letters werethrown in the fire henceforth. The dukesaid nothing more about the matter, andseemed in thebest of spirit^ ; but when theyoung couplehad goneto make theirformalentrance into Prince Carl Gustav's nativecapitalhebecame graver and moire thought-

" ful, and as the hour when tho pair wasexpectedback drew nearer and nearer, hisshadow was often seen behind the curtainsOf his study, pacing restlessly up andf10Wn...,' .. . ..'.',. ... '..'; .;._■'.'

Ho laughed absuperstition and preiinoni-bions,- yeb an uncomfortable feeling tor-mented him—the sense of responsibility.

If it should chance thab any misfortuneactually occurred in Sophienhof, ho wouldhave all bhe blinded fatalists against him,and they would reproachhim for sacrificinghis sister to the evil spirit of bhab fatalcastle/ - .

If Duchess Sophie really wandered, agloomy ghosfei through bbc halls of thehouse in whioh once tho deepestmisery andlonging for lost love and happiness hadbroken' her hearb, surely she wouldaparethe lasb of her raoo—bhab tendet blossomwhich Was bo give new life to the F|fce'vrace otherwise dying oub. Yeb,* h&d shesparedPrinces- Hertha-! And was nob sheas merry and light-tearted as Rafaela ? _

The gloomy-spirits of Sophienhof hatedall mirth nnd happiness. If bhere weroreally truth In this belief. " ",

In vain did the duke reason wibu himselfand call to mind the justness ofProvidence,He paced his room restlessly, and fairlystarted when ib was announced to him thatSophienhof was lighted and famished toreceive tho young couple. '■_,'.■'."■.'■'_.. ,

For a moment Puke Henry staredthoughtfully before him; then be suddenlyraised his hand and commanded bhab uounbLankwitz be sent for ab once.

The duke has nob forgotten the ironicsmile of the young counb when PuohessReuse had recently touchedvexedly upontho theme of Sophionhofand its HI name,

:.« You surely do hob believe Buoh tales,my dear count ?' ho had asked.

'No, your highness, I think bhem soabsurd that ib is. incomprehensible bo raethat people who are sensible, " ouUlv.abed.>religious, can cherish such nonsense andrepeat it.,' ~'"

■-- -? .' Ah, excellent J So you are convinced

ghat that calumniated palace will bring

fro fatality tipohtth'e 'p-ifrce-. and h&rhusband?' .

A- strange exp.ession crossed theyoungman's face for an instant/ ' . . '.'.;'

'Misfortune, your higbnesß, ip in .thepersonality ibßelf, nob in bhe walls whiphsurround ib. It is borne into thO castle-it does not come from; it. If he* highness,the prihcoss, brings happiness with her,and knows how to chain ib, it will never beendangered by evil powers.. God controlsour desbinias. No marriage, even thehappiest), is proof against sorrow, and ifthis happens upon neutral ground, noremark is made. If ib comes to Sophienhofall declare the sibyls have prophesied truly,and ib is caused by ghosts and evil spirits.'

This was one of those little speecheswhich had once made Rafaela exclaim,mockingly : .'His lips droptfiedom.V Now,too, tbelittle groupof dinnerguests smiled,and bent low Over their plates, bub theduke cried approvingly : "

"BravO, my dear Lankwitz, quite myopinion.' ,

Thishad closed bhe short debate, and theduke had been in thebest of tempers. To-day herecalled this speech, andcommandedCounb Cyril to accompany him. Sophieshof was brilliantly illuminated, and in com-pany with young Lankwitz, theduke droveup bo the side entrance thab he mightwander,unnoticed, through the rooms oncemore. Not a sOul was in sight, and thefootman sprang down from the box to ringthe bell.

"Hey, Maloff,make no noise. I wißh toenter unnoticed.'

' yes, your highness.'' Take the~carriage back by the same

route.'" Yes, yourhighness.'The horseß dashed off, and the two men

hastilyentered the dimly lighted corridor.Ibwas quieb and deserted. The side

entrance was used only by the servants.The footsteps of the duke and his com-panion rang loudly on bhe uncarpetedfloor. In two nitcheß had been placedweather-beaten sandstone figures broughtin from the park, and these seemed tostare at them with their dead eyes as theypaßsed.

A narrow flight ofstone stairs led up tomore comfortableregions. A long better-lightedcorridor extended before them, fromwhich openednumerous doorawith tarnishedgildings. This connected thetwo wings ofthe palace. ,

The duke pausedfora momenb and galedupa dark, winding staircase.

There was not a sound, nor waß there ahuman being in sight.

'The unfortunate Princess Hertha oncerushed, wrapped in flames, down thesestairs and corridor,' he whispered, drawinghia hand across his brow. ' Horriblo 1When one knows of Buch sad occurrences,one's imaginationis doubly active. I fancyI can hear her cries for help.'

'The populace are practicing cheeringin front of the castle. Tour highness hearsthe shrill voices,' said Cyril in his calmway.

" Certainly, certainly, my dear Lankwitz,said the duke, walking quickly on.'Echoes deceive one so strangely in thesequietrooms. Leb us inspect thesuite ofrooms which is intended for the royal pairand their court.' He opened a door andentered. ' Ah, light and comfortable, andapparently in good order. These roomsinterest me less. Let us hasten to theyoungcouple'srooms. Ah, what tales thesefaded hangings and old furniture couldrepeat. Few gay opes. But if God wills*a new, cloudless sunhas arisen for Sophien-hof.''

The duke paused suddenly, and staredab an old moth-eaten tape-try. A weep-ing, girlish face, supported on foldedhand. * A broken heart,' waß embroideredin queer, old-fashioned letters beneath.

"Strange! Rafaela's face!' he mur-mured.

'The eyes are different, only tho shapeof the face and bhe way Of arranging thehair remind oneof the princess.'

"The eyes seem different because theyweep,' said the duke, excitedly, andsuddenly drawing a deep breath, he turnedhis head from the picbure. 'Inever wishto live to see Rafaela weep,' said he, withemotion. '. '' And why not, your highness ? Tearsin awoman's eyes are sacred dew to thesoul. There is an obstinate, defiantkindof weeping, bub bhab has no tears, it ismerely sobs and anger. Such clear dropsas fall from the laahes here in the picture,however, flow direcb from thehearb, and Ithink they can bring blessings only. Thespring rain bursts the buds, and summerrain ripens the fruit.'

Involuntarily tbe dukesmiled."You strange philosopher. When one

hears you speak, one would beliove thabyou had been collecting your experiencesoflifeand women forfifby years.' Thoughb-fully he turned to the picture again.* Bub you may be righb. Tears are oftenas beneficial as the sun of love and happi-ness. Only "a broken heart" wouldseem toohigh a pricefor a benefibed soul.'

■Indeed,-your highness?' Cyril's youngface wore a strangely gloomy expression,"How many hearts bleed withoub theirsouls being benefitted. Nob only lovebreaks a hearb, bub cruelby also; and Icould nob compare a man who dies in thearms of love, bo one who is trodden underfoot, misunderstoodand despised.'

AUCKLAND TIMBER COM-PANIES AND PUBLIC

CONTRACTS.(BT 'XELEGRAPHit-PAKLIAMENIART' RE-

PORTER.)

Welungton, this day..Mr T. Thompson, ,who is taking a verylively interest in tho question of freeCanadian timber, which so deeplyconcernsAuckland, has ascertained that there isvery strong feeling in the Public WorksDepartment that the timbercompanies ihAuckland have entered into a contract bywhich they aro bound not to tender againsteach other for Government wfork. If.this;is actually the case the copapaniesare running the risk, not only «if injuringthemselves, but'the whole Province ofAuckland, for it is rumoured fchat tbe De-partment, in view of prices /charged inAuckland, may be induced to get its timbersuppliesfrom the West Coast; lam givento understand that the diffenfence betweenAuckland and West Coast rates wouldquite warrant such acoursai If it be a factthat a timber " ring " exists in Auckland tokeepprices at an unjuafci-iably high level,thereis a warning contained .in the abovewhich should not be neaJected.

THE REV. JOSEPH COOK._ ; "—■■-■♦ — '■ , .-:;■,.;'; .■ _The Rev. Dr. Joseph Cook, the famousBoston , lecturer, delivered hi. ,'farewelllecture yesterday ej/eniDg ab the City Hall,takingror hiß subject. "Leaders and Mis-leaders of the D/_y." Mi. C. E. Button,M.H.R., presideci. Dr. Cook opened hislecture by a prolonged reference to the de-mands of socia'-ists and socialism. Afterspeaking of the dangers threatenedto our moa'ii sacred institutions bysocialistic 'doctrines, he remindedthem thab' great precautions wereurgently noeded for the protection ofthe ship of/State. The soundings, said he,jshowed by the gradually shoaling water|the near approach of land, ao in dealingwith the day dreams of socialism, if tbeywould escape shipwreck they would putdown t>4o load lino, and mark tbe lessen-ing depth of water, and thenearerapproachto someunknown counbry. He looked uponBociaAism as a castle in the air, with-out a ladder to reach ib. Thje lecturerdevoted some time bo dealing) with thetheories of Henry George and EdwardB'allamy. These so-called reformers (saidbe) were no doubb above robbery,, bub theirtheories, although clothed in hif'li-soundingphrases, meant, ultimately,. appropriationfor the public good of priva;te property,withoub compensation, which- was a dis-tinct violation of the divitva injunction,j'"Thou 9halt not steal." If a man;«junk his boil and 'labour into/bis land, aad devoted .. large partof his fortune in developmentand improve-ments, he had a right to t he result of bispersonal labour sunk into t /hab soil. If hedidn't make the soil, he made it saleable inbhe market, and bad a rig ht to compensa-tion. With regard to bb'a bheory thab bheState owned all bhe land, Dr. Cook wantedto know if seventy millioi.s of people couldown land, why could seven millions notown land also. And if aeven millions, whynob seven thousand, an'.dif seven thous-and, why nob sever}, and then whynob a single persoq'. In conclusion,bhe lecturer made a fer. remarks anent theliquor traffic. The JYI/.thodist body inAmerica, he said, had./decjared. that theliquor traffic could hot/ be-legalised with-oub sin, andhe believ fad'they were not far-wrong. To legalise /the. liquor"tradowasvirtually to hold out ,4. temptation to vice.The " suggestion beir/g carried oub in theUnited Statesto cxclade all engaged in thedrink trafficfrom ciiurch. membership wasone which they nr'^ht well adopt in thiscOunt_y. Hehiirifjelf was an UOapologetic:prohibitionist. /It the close of the lecturea heartyvote ofbuanks was accorded to the,lecturer for; tho/able series of lectures hebad given in tbiyg colony. ;
