THE VANISHING PIG-TAIL.

A Chinese diplomatist, Chirig CliunWang, writes interestingly ill theAtlantic monthly about the abolitionof the pig-tail jn Llima. li rom hisenter i-aiiUug paper \»e make a tewexcerpts:—

"The strongest obstacle was thefear of the inevitable economic de-rangement. it is recognised that asChinese goods are not suitable for theEuropean style.' of dress, any sleep-ing change of costume would conse-quently necessitate the importationof enormous quantities of loreigngoods. This \lould at once throwthousands of Lhuic-se weavers "<ndotner laborers «ut{ ol work, to saynothing ox cue waste of the stock ofgoods on h.aud. alius it 13 admit-ted that such an important andsweeping change in Chinese econo-mics as would be involved by thechange of costume would necessi-tate a great ioss of money to, andprobably ruin of, the innumerablesilk merchants and clothiers of thecountry, in fact, the Hangcliow hat-ters, who, 'like Demetrius of Ephe-sils, 1 feared their crart 'in danger tobe set at nought,' have, already pro-tested strongly against any changeof the sort. The cheiciang silk man-ufacturers have also raised a loudcry. That a sweeping change ofcostume will result in much loss andmisery hardly admits of any doubt.For .these and other reasons the sim-ultaneous change of the eo-stume ar:dthe queue v.- as thought impracticable.

"The best opinion cc...curs chatthere is no need of discarding theChinese costume. On the contrary,it would be a mistake it China slioukladopt, wholesale, the liluropean dressin place of her own. The senselessadoption of the dress of another peo-ple is likely not only to introduce ali 1the bad points of the new, but to ban-ish all the good points of one's own.Moreover, the erroneous idea thatthe removal of the queues must ne-cessarily imply a similar change orcostume cannot be demonstrated moreclearly than by the fact that the Jap-anese 1, as well as other, peoples, ex-cept a small minority among them,still retain their national garb, not-withstanding their cropped hair ; andthey certainly do not appear theworse for the change.

"Reports say that aftei the experi-ment with the diplomatic officers, the.Government will soon impose the re-form upon the army, the navy, andthe s'cudents, and finallv will proclaimthe complete abolition of the queuethroughout the country, and will leavethe question of costume to each indi-vidual. The general attitude of 'themasses, the strong conviction of theleading classes, and the sineerit3'shown by the Government in carryingout the reform, make it apparentthat those who want to see the Chin-ese queues will have to go to Chinawithin the next five years.SAVING OF TIME AND MONEY.

"The significance of this changecan hardly be overestimated. Whenthe whole country is taken into con-sideration, the benefits and savingfrom doing away with the queue ar<enormous, lor instance, the comb-ing and braiding of the queue takesevery day at least fifteen minutes oithe best hours of every man in China,and perhaps twice that much of thebarber's time, which could be appliedto productive purposes. Although■time is cheap in China, ■it is worth atleast ten cents a, day on the average.According to this rate, each queuecosts about one cent every day forcombing. Multiply this by the num-ber of males above fifteen in thecountry, which is placed at about100,000,000, and then by the numberof days in a year, one will see • thatthe annual saving from this sourcealone will mean about £73,000,000.

"This, however, is only the cashvalue of time saved. But the actualsaving in useful material is also con-siderable. A conservative estimateof what an average man or boyspends for queue cords, etc., will beabout twenty cents a yea?, whichmeans £4,000,000 for the country. Itis also recognised thai, the queueshortens the life of one's coat or gownby at least 10 per cent. The removalof the queue will, therefore, mean asaving of about twenty cents a yearfor every man, or about £4,000,000annually for the country. There aremany other savings from the removalof the queue, concerning which weneed not go into detail; but thesethree sources alone will mean an act-ual saving of material valued at£8,000,000 per year, or £81,000,000 incash value of time and material.

"The economic and hygienic bene-fits, great as they are, dwindle to in-significance when compared with themoral effect of the reform. In intro-ducing the western institutions uponwhich China's destiny largely de-pends, China must change the atti-tude and feeling of her masses. Toaccomplish this, northing seems moreeffective than to do xway with thequeue.

""Once an average 'Climaman' findshis head minus his queue he will atonce take it for granted that he hasalso become one of those 'foreign de-vils,' and hence regard it as his lot>to adopt things foreign. Instead ofbeing opposed to western innovations,he will become eager to adopt them.Indeed, it seems safe to prophesy thatthe removal of the queue will bringabout more changes 111 the attitude ofthe masses toward the introduction ofmodern institutions than any otherreform. It will probably mean thecomplete revolution of the thoughtsof four hundred millions of people!"

small space in your columns to dirawattention to the fact of .how deeplythe men of the Challenger appreciat-ed tlw sociability and courtesy shownto them by citizens of Weil'Eingtom.during ou>r short stay in this po.rt.At out ii-rst port of call in New Zea-land' (Auckland), the doors of amuse-ment we're closed to us on 'account ofour' wearing the .uniform of his Maj-esty King George V., .and wo werenot allowed to .associate with theskating community of Auckland1, butwe are •all very pleased to acknow-ledge that aucih w.as not the case inWellington—the city where wie re-ceived tlie kindest weiconic to ourhome waters, .and the city tlhat wie aliilove so well. It was ve>ry interest-ing to ue to see so many of Welling-ton's citizens on board last Sundayto look over .the -ship, and this pawedto us that "Jack" was thought 'asmuch of by the people of Wellington■as lie is by his own people. W'e allnoticed it very much, especially af-ter ouir long cruise to 'the various is-lands iin the Pacific, and along tliocoast of 'South and Central America,'among people who could not ©peakour language, though, to be sure, wereceived a very wa-rm and iheairty wel-come from the people of tine differentRepublics, especially in Ohile.

But, as soon .as wo touched slhoresof the land' that flies the Unliom Jack—the flag that wo al'l look upon withp-rid'e—.and on going on shore for thefirst time foir six months among ourown kinsmen, we found out, to ouir•great surprise, that we were notwanted at i'ts plaices of amusement.But we leave Wellington with a finlefeeling towar,dig everybody, tibanikingthem sincerely one and alili for theirsociability and courtesy."

We wieire never in favor of the ChiefJustice being .appointed l to report om

j-mattieJris at Raratonga. No dioubt heis eminently qualified to hold onquia,L-ies of this sort amd to take a cocm-prehensivQ view of things and formi asane opinion from enquiry laand obser-vation. But in this case tthie griev-ance was elaborately manufacturedfor party purposes. The triviality ofit -.all, the disproporfcion'ato bitternessdisplayed, the absurd as wiell as vic-ious refLectionis cast upon the Judgebecause his report did) not bear outtlie complainants 1' allegations—aresufficient evidence of the party char-acter of the affair. We deeply regret to.see the Cliief Justice subjected totreatment so disgraceful!; it is de-grading to the hecklers and a verybad example to thie community. Anidhad the attack consisted of directsledge-hammer blows :at the Judigowe should have becai less concernedtlian wo n'ow are to see public mendescending to eonteimptible innuondloand insinuation. To have 'accusedSir Robert Stout of defective judg-ment would! have been far more par-donable than to insinuate that hewould bo the creature of the Govern-mlent. Such a base, low, brutal me-thod of attack defeats its own p.ur-poso. The community knows theChief Justice as a man who by sheer'ability., culture and purity of Mftehas worked himself up from a humbleposition to ono of the highest dig-nity, as a consistent domoioriat, a.s aman. of wide sympathies «and highphilanthropic purpose. The onllyresult of the attack is that the 'as-

sailants of the Judge have broughtupon. themselves the contempt off,r-tin-iaided persons.

THE ELECTORAL BOUNDARIES.(Pahiatua HoraJd, August 24.)

The agitation which is being con-ducted by the business men of Dan-nevirke against tho inclusion of Umu-taoroa and. other districts in Pahiatuaelectorate is on© for which a good dealcan be said, for it is undoubted thatthe commercial centre ■ * some of thedistricts which have been thrown, intoPahiatua electorate is Dannevirke. Atthe same time, we do not see how theprotest can be anything but futile,and certainly the discussion whichtook place at a special meeting of tlioDannevirke Chamber of Commeres oxiTuesday night does not encourage tliehope that any way out of the difficul-ty will be found. There was muchtalk of community of interest havingbeen disregarded. The charge is »

just one, but it is apt to be forgottenthat the first consideration of the Re-presentation Commissioners must beto include the necessary population ineach electorate, and if they cannot dothis without disregarding communityof interest it has got to be done allthe same. The Commissioners haveto fix a quota for electorates, andvtlien they are allowed a margin, buta small margin, above or below thatquota, and within the limits of_ thatmargin, but no further, community otinterest may De studied. It is veryeasy, now that the results of tlie 'commissioners' deliberations havebeen made public, to appreciate the-difficulty in which they were placed.Masterton and I'aliiatua. olectoravsawere both short of the necessary pop-ulation ; there w-as an excess of popu-lation in the north and none in thosouth; theref ore the oo.uudari.es hadto be moved north. The deficiency ofpopulation in. iviasterton electorateterritory of which Pahiatua is 'thecommercial centre, and which lias nowas made good by throwing into itmore community of interest with Mas-terton than Umutaoroa has with Pa-hiatua. The alternative co includinga number of country districts inMasterton was to. cut out the countryterritory and put the borough ofPahiatua in ivias'certon electorate.This would have meant the closing ofall hotels in Pahiatua unless restora-tion. had been carried over the whole,electorate, and would have been so ob-viously unjust that the commissionerschose the other alternative. In orderto bring the population of Pahiatuaelectorate up to the quota the boun-daries had to be moved northwards totake in a considerable tract of coun-try lying near Dam.-evirKe, and. it -sagainst this that Dannevirke pro-tests. It is difficult to see what valuethe protest will have unless it is ac-companied by a practical suggestionfor re-adjusting tlie electorates, sothat each shall contain the necessaryquota, if iianncvirke borough werothrown into the Paliiat-ua electorate,the country districts round

_

Danne-virke would have to go,intoto keep the balance of populationeven, so our friends would oe no bet-ter off. The business men of Pahia-tua would welcome a re-ad jus oment

. of boundaries which would give \Y ai-: pawa electorate the northern portion

> oi iJ ahiatua aud add to the Pahiatua> electorate such places as Fongaroa, the■ whole of Akitio county, Kaiuiwa, Ko-

[ nini, Hamua and Hukanui, of whichl Pahiatua is the natural centre. If

. community of interest were the onlyj consideration, it would be easy to map

, out an electorate containing Wood-; ville, Pahiatua, and Ekataliuna,5 would be compact and conveni-

. ent, but the Legislatuie has rightlyj decreed that in order that oao vot«

-j shall have the same value all over. New Zealand, the electorates shall

contain as nearly as pos . ble the samenumber of people. To this democraticideal even community of interest mustbo sacrificed, and hence it* is that

• Masterton electorate encroaches on agood deal of country of wlrich Paliia-

' tua is the natural and commercial cen-' tre, and Pahiatua encroaches on ter-

! ritory which sends its trade to Danne-virke.

N.S.W. CRISIS.DETERMINED OPPOSITION TO

THE SPEAKER.

A SERIES OF SCENES

Press Assn—By telegraph—CopyrightSYDNEI, August 24.

A remarkable scene tooiv place inthe House alter Mr H. Willis was in-stalled in the chair. The members ofthe Opposition claimed that they hadbeen tricked. Violent and continueduproar prevailed lor considerabletime. Many members were apparent-ly spoiling tor a iiglit, and in severalinstances only the intervention ofothers prevented them from comingto blows. One member was forciblydragged from the Uhamber to keephim lrom inflicting bodily harm oilan opponent.

The actual election was peculiar. AMinister and a Ministerial memberhad concluded his speech when. <.

member on each side jumped up. TheClerk, who was presiding, pointed toa Laborite, who, instead of commenc-ing his speech, advanced to the cableand poured out a glass of water.

Mr Willis' mover and seconderthereupon hurried him forward andinstalled him in the chair, amid louaprotests from the Opposition, andshouts from the Oppositionist who hadrisen thao he intended to make an-other nomination. This announce-ment was greeted with cries ox "Toolate."

Mr Holman, Acting-Premier, sub-sequently explained tnat there being-only one nomination, no division wasrequired. They thought the debatehad terminated and so called upon MrWillis. The proceedings were strictlylegal, and the Opposition had defeat-ed themselves by neglecting to nom-inate a second man.

When Mr Willis was introduced asSpeaker, after the dinner adjourn-ment, the Oppositionists remainedseated and greeted him with shoutsof "Ihere's no Speaker," which wererepeated whon lie invited members toproceed to Government House to jire-scn'c the Speaker to the Governor..The Opposition remained in the Housewhile this ceremony was being per-formed, and also declined to attendthe Legislative Council to hear theLieutenant-Governor read his speech.

Cries of "There is no Speaker" wereagain repeated. The speech was shortand simply indicated the ElectoralLaw Amendment Act be restored tothe business paper mid finally dealtwith, also the Public Works propos-als and such other business as was ofurgent character or necessity. Onreturning, to the Assembly the Speak-er immediately adjourned the Houseat 4 p.m. in spite of further turbu-lent Liberal opposition.

Mr Holman declares that the Gov-ernment is determined to stand orfall by Mr Willis' election. They arenot prepared to entertain any over-tures for any alteration of their de-cision.

Mr Willis' appearance was greetedwith cries of "Traitor," "Judas Is-cariot," and many other similar com-pliments, and he was asked if he hadinformed the Lieutenant-Governor ofthe trick by which he got the seat ?

Oil re-assembling after tea MessrsDunn and Perry, recently electedmembers, took their seats and trou-ble immediately recommenced.

Mr Cohen, on a. question of privi-lege, complained that Mr Willis' elec-tion was irregular, as he was address-ing- the House when Mr Willis waselected to the chair. Notice of mo-tion was given for Tuesday dissentingfrom Mr Willis' action in leaving thechair before the motion was put.

LATEE.The Assembly to-night is extremely

lively, though less rowdy than in theearlier sittings. Mr Cohen was con-stantly interrupted and frequentlycalled to order. He concluded bymoving that the action of preventinghis addressing the House on the elec-tion of the Speaker when in the actof proposing another candidate, was agross breach of privilege. Other mem-bers attacked the Government overMr Willis' election. The debate andthe House adjourned till Tuesday.

The Council passed the Address-in-Reply.

RARATONGA.ATTACK ON THE CHIEF JUSTICE.

TICE.[I'KESS ASSOCIATION, j

WELLINGTON, August 24.In • the House of Representatives

yesterday afternoon the report of theChief Justice on the eliarges againstthe administration of iiaratongacame up for conisderation.

Mr it. A. Wright said the reportwas most unsatisfactory. The peti-tioners, who had asked for the en-quiry, wan ted evidence taken on oathwith open doors. The report was un-fair, unjust and biased. He movedthat the report be referred back cothe Chief Justice for further consid-eration.

Mr C. A. C. Hardy seconded themotion.

Sir James Carroll said that noth-ing humanly possible would satisiyMr Wright. They had certain re-sponsibilities to discharge in connec-tion with the administration of theCook Islands and he strongly objectedto the matter being made a channellor party polities. There had beennothing specific in the charges againstthe administration. Practically thewhole trouble was that Dr. . Dawsoncould not get on with Captain Smith.The_ charges were ridiculous. Politicalfeeling had something to do withthem, and malcontents were stirringup strife. When the charges were aiiralysed they were found to emanatefrom three persons. Ihey were en-deavoring to obtain from London ayoung medical man well up in tropicaldiseases to go to the Islands, andthey were arranging 'or a doctor togo round all the islands of the group.Dr. Dawson was offered the officialposition at Niue, but he preferred togo to Raratonga to start privatepractice. Considerable improvementhad been made in the managemeiiirt ofthe islands since Captain Smith wentthere.

Mr Allen said that a great deal ofwhat was allowed had been proved.The Resident Commissioner was notcompetent to deal with matters ofjustice or Land Court matters. Hecharged the Government with havingutilised the Chief Justice for purposesfor which he ought not co have beenutilised. It was not right - that theChief Justice should be- asked to pro-nounce judgment 011 the Government.

-Dr. iiangilioiroa said the complaintshad been grossly exaggerated, andhe wondered if so inuch notice wouldhave been taken of the report had itnot been given a political aspect.

Sir Stallworthy thought the reportvery fair.

On resuming at 7.80 p.m. the Hon.Mr Fowlds said that the little bicker-ings of a small community had beenmagnified in enormous way. Asaner, straigliter and soberer state-merit than that presented by theChief Justice could not be possible.It had been received with satisfactionthroughout the country.

Mr W. F. Massey said they hadnot done tlieir duty in the matter ii«mtaken up their responsibilities. Dar-ing recent years there had been muclidissatisfaction expressed Jn the ad-ministration of the Cook Islands. Hedid not think it right to have ap-pointed Sir Robert Stout as Commis-sioner. The Chief Justice was far toofond of secret enquiries. The coun-try was sick of star chamber enquir-ies, and more would be heard of thematter before the end of the session.He deeply regretted tliac judgesworebrought into the arena of politics. Thereport was a report of counsel for thedefence rather than of the Commis-sioner.

Mr A. E. Glover thought xhe reportwas very satisfactory.

Mr G. Laurenson was greatly con-cerned with the brutal and personalattacks made against the Cliiof Jus-tice. If the charges were to be macTeagainst any of our judges, theyshould be made straightforwardly onthe floor of the House and not bysuggestions and innuendo.

The Hon. A. T. Ngaca pointed outthat it was impossible for the revenueof Cook Islands to stand the strainsthat would be put upon it if some ofthe suggestions of members were putinto effect. He would suggest thatbefore all sorts of Acts and conditionswere introduced into the Islands thatall intruders should be deported fromRaratonga and the Raratongans leftto themselves. These matters wouldbe brought up continually. Sir Rob-ert Stout's report was deserving ofrespect.

Messrs Poole and -Russell defendedthe report.

Mr "Wright, in reply, said the ChiefJustice had been brought into thematter by the Governmnt and giveninstructions. Probably some of thecharges were not grave, but gravercharges would have been brought hada proper enquiry been set up.

The motion was . negatived on thevoices. . 1 !

THE CORONATION ANOMALY.

The Nation publishes -an article ontlie "Anomaly of the Coronation, in-sincerity oi the service, a pica for a

- revision," from which we take a lewexcracks:—

AN UNHEAL SERVICE.

"Tlie religion of tlie Unction, tliechivalry of tlie sword and spurs, themystery of the throne that en close3

■ the stone 011 which, in our forefath-ers' belief, the head of Jacob rested,

1 the fierce ieudalism of die oath of- liomage arc still present, but, to the

vast majority of English people, theyare present as the scenes in a play,

• and not as the solemnities of an aw-ful sacramental mystery. Even, tlit*fact that the rite is associated withthe Eucharist fails to inspire rever-ence.

"Few probably of those' who willwitness the scene in ohe Abbey willknow anything or the wonderful his-tory of this rite. Like the BrtiishConstitution, it represents the slowdevelopment of oho ages. Only, un-like the British Constitution, it

■ reached its perfection 111 the days ofChaucer. Reformation and revolu-tion liavo mutilated its prayers andcer<?monies, tine! distorted its signifi-cance ; but both have failed to im-press on it a new character. The

' changes that they have made haveemptied it of its sacramental mean-ing ; but ;they have left it only an im-

, posing feudal ruin.DEMOCRATIC MONKS.

"A order was devised in the; twelfth century; but the great medi-• aesral office, the Liber Regalis, grew

up gradually "n the Benedictine Abbeyof Westminster. Xo-dav, as we real-ise how this old service is inspired

4' with tlie love of freedom, we grasp.<■ the fact that the unknown monks who

slowly composed it in their cloistersr had none of that aloofness from the

world of real things which holds backthe modern ecclesiastic from the causeof popular justice and liberty.

< "Could those Benedictine monkshave dreamed of the use to whicli af-ter ages would put their solemn officebook, it would doubtless have perish-ed in the flames. To the true rnedi-aevalist, what could be more repulsive

' than the picture of an Archbishop■ administering to the King an oath

under the order of Parliament? 111f. the ancient days, the successor of St.

. Augustine, the national representa-tive of the Kingdom that was not ofthis world, bade tho King, the lorcl

J of armed might, to swear that lie' would rule as a Christian Prince, that

he would love justice and mercy, thatho would protect the Church, and up-hold the laws and customs that goodSt. Edward had granted to the clergyand people. Only when the King hadtaken this oath was he deemed wor-thy to'receive the Holy Unction.

KING 'AND PARLIAMENT.» "To-day the oath of the Revolution

of 1688, which the Primate adminis-ters, makes 110 contract betwen Kingand Church. It is a contract between

:/;■ King and Parliament, and when theParliament Bill is law, the successor

{■: of Dunstan and Beckett will adminis-? ' ter it as a servant of the House of!r Commons. When Napoleon dragged

Pius VII. to his Coronation at Notre-. Dame, he shrank from inflicting on

his guest this final insult. To the!*• Pope he took tho old oaths of the

feudal king; only when the Pope andj; the Churchman had departed did he

■ swear to the President of the Senate1 , and Legislative Assembly to respectf and protect equality and liberty. It;-* , would be well if our statesmen of. 1 1688 had taken a similar course. The

tragic blunder of George 111. over7 Roman Catholic emancipation would1' have been impossible if the Corona-

tion Oath had been administered tothat muddle-headed bigot by the LordChancellor and the Speaker of theHouse of Commons.

THE ANOINTING.!■ "Unpledged though tho Sovereign

is by the Church, the Archbishop will" still pour the consecrated oil on the

crown of his head, on his breast, andon the palms of both his hands, whilethe old Coronation anthem of Chris-tian Europe, 'Zadok, the priest, andNathan, the prophet, anointed Solo-mon. king,' rings through the aisles ofSt. Edward's Minster s it rang onthe day when the oil was poured overKing Harold's head. Here we standin the presence of that which wasto the men of the days of chivalrythe mystery of mysteries. 'Not allthe water of the rough rude sea can

; wash the balm from an anointedking.' "

PHANTOM OP A MYSTERY., "What sanctity has the anointing

for His Majesty's subjects to-day?The faith which saw m the anointed

" sovereign a mixta persona, half-spiritual half lay which believedthat through his unction he had re-ceived in a special manner the seven-fold gift of the most Holy Spirit, haspassed away to return no more, not

■ even in the almost impossible eventof the triumph in Europe of a cler-ical reaction. The philosophy ofSuarez, the Jesuit, no less than thatof Milton, the Puritan has shatter-ed for ever the religion that half-defied the hereditary ruler, and hasdriven the Sainte Ampoule to keepcompany with the Holy Grial in theland of Faery. And yet practicalEngland retains the phantom of themystery.

"On the anointed king, St. Ed-ward's robes are placed, tha linenalbo and the dalmatic. The litur-giologist names them ancient robes,but th robes of the Kings of Englandwere knocked down for u few shillingswhen Charles' head fell on the scaf-fold, and St. Edward's robes are nowmade fresh for each Coronation. Thesacerdotal character of these vest-ments shows that mediaevalism atone time was not so far from invest-ing monarchy with priestly attri-butes.

I regret' to have to chronicle a ra-ther severe accident which befel MrsT. Aylward while driving into Ban-nevirkc one day last week. Thehorse shied and overturned the vehi-cle, and Mrs Aylward received a verysevere shaking, from which she hasnot yet sufficiently recovered to beable to get about.

The mortality amongst dairy stockappears to be very heavy out thisway. One settler has so far losit nofewer than 18 dairy coavs, Avhilst loss-es of from one to five head appear tobe common. Another settler has lost35 out of 97 liead of weaners.

A number of settlers have theircows coming into profit now, and I•understand it is Mr Black's intentionto start his factory running on Sep-tember 2.

The spring-like weather Ave havebeen having during the past tAvoAA-eeks has had a very beneficial effectupon the groAA'th of grass

A meeting of the- School Committeewas held in the schoolroom on Mon-day evening. Present: Messrs E. W.Clemens (in the chair), J. Bowie, W.Holden, J. Moriarty, I. Giddens, W.J. Lillas. Correspondence was re-ceived from the Education Board, remetalling around the school; alsocheque for carting metal etc. Capi-tation money received. Accounts am-ounting to 6s 3d were passed for pay-ment. Ke&olved that the committeeplough, harrow and grass the schoolground, as it is in a very dangerousstate at present. The committee thenadjourned.

There is every appearance of anearly spring, lucerne and wattle treesare in blossom, willow and some fruittrees are coming into leaf. We arehaving very mild weather* and grassis coming along nicely. Young lambsare plentiful, and the season promisesto be an excellent one, s. - regards per-centages, etc.

Cows are coming into profit undervery favorable conditions. It is re-ported the Waimiro creamery willprobably re~ope.n early next month.It is expected the milk supply willbe much larger than last season.

Operations will be recommenced atthe timber mill at an early date, asMr Yeoman, co-proprietor (managerof the Waimiro branch) is expected toreturn from Sydney, where he hasbeen spending a holiday at the endof this month.

Our roads, which have been coveredwith the usual thick coating of mud,are now fairly dry, and much moresuitable for wheeled traffic.

Those farmers who are fortunate inhaving completed their stumping andclearing paddocks, have been takingadvantage of the fine weather in get-ting their ploughing finished andcrops planted.

The young folk had made arrange-ments for quite a series of surpriseparties in the district, but owing tothe recent news of the death of anear relative of respected residents ofthe place, the project has been aban-doned for this year.

HINDUS AND MAHOMEDANS.(Times correspondent.)

'Riots wiuich at one timie threatenedto reach serious dimensions have oc-cuinredl in ia some/what inaccessiblecountry on the borders of the Jessoreand Ivihul'nia districts. Heine there hasbeen a feud for some months betweenthe Mahomedams and the Namiasud-irias, a law caste of Hindus who formthe majoirity of the cultivators in thisregion. Th)e origin of thie dispute asobscure, but the police account da thatthe Mahomedians were inritatedl bythe acquittal of certain NiamasaitDraswho were charged with setting fireto a Mahomedian village. Theshot was that Mahomedan .mobs (raid-ed Namasudra villages. The riotersnumbered: between 1000 audi 2000.They were directed by leadSeirs onhorseback, and were .armed "with! gunsand spears. The villages which were■to be .attacked had been prepared be-forehand, the houses that were to bespared bearing protected' iby smallflags. In 'all 16 villages were visited.Niamiasudra houses were wrecked, anldthe rice stores were broken into, thecontents being scattered. Foir ia daythe rioters .pillaged mtU impunity,but, as soon as the mews reachedKhulna, armed pio'liice were sent tothe district, when the mob promptlydispersed. Troops in Calcutta hadbeen warned .to be in readiness, buttheir services were not required.

SUBSIDIES ON RATES.

[press association.]WELLINGTON, This Day.

At the Counties' Conference, a re-mit dealing with this important sub-ject was put forward as a substantivemotion by Mr G. V. Pearco, M.P.,viz.:—

"That there be paid to all countycouncils a uniform subsidy of five shil-lings in the pound on all general ratescollected up to the prescribed maxi-mum as defined in section 117 of theCounties Act, 1908."

Dr. J. E. Riddell, of Weber, movedas an amendment: "That the confer-ence re-affirm the principle that sub-sidies should be paid on a graduatedscale, and that no subsidies be paidon a less rate than Jd in the £."

The matter was debated at consid-erable length, and several membersfavored the amendment, which, how-ever, was lost, the motion being car-ried bj' 40 to 14.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

WELLINGTON, August 24.The House met at 2.30 p.m.The Papakio Wat arm-ace District

Validation Bill, designed _to removea;l'l doubts as to the legality of mat-ters connected with the PapakioWate-rraoe District was read thesecond time.

The Raratonga affair, reported 1 else-where, was discussed, and the Houserose at 11.35 p.m.

CONDENSED CABLES.

Further insurances on the risk ofwar between certain European Pow-ers within three months have_ beentransacted at Lloyds on a basis of 5per cent, and' within six months on a

basis of 10 per ceait. There have alisobeen nuimerus insurances of cargoesat 2a 6d per centum.

The Primate, in reply to a oonre®-ponldlenit, said the question was notwhether the Parliament Bill shouldpass im,mediately or a few weekshence, after the House had! been flood-ed with new Peers. He denies thatthe Biisihops' vote is likely to promotespeedy disestablishment.. He believesthe exact contrary to be true.

It is believed 1 that the Right Hon.Redmond Barry, lv.C., member forNorth Tyrone, wii'l'l succeed the late•Sir Samuel Walker as Lord Ohaneeii-Itor of Ireland.

Tine International Agricultural In-stitute of Italy estimates that the to-tal yield of wheat in the principalcountries! is about 5.6 above 1911.Barley is 9 per cent., oats 5.4 percent., .and rye 1.2 per cent, above theprevious harvest.

Owing to foot- and mouth disease■the French Grand Army manoeuvreshave been reduced to divisional and!■brigade exercises.An express en route to K assart(Hungary) collided with anothertrain. Six were killedl 'and ten sev-erely injured.

Sir,—ln common with many others,I went to tlie,Drill Hall last nigho ex-pecting to the picture show, onlyto find that .the 'Termis Club Bail wason tliere. 1,, think the managementmigh'G show a little more thought fortheir patrons and not allow the ad-vertisement to appear announcing thepictures, as tf'as the ease yesterday.

PATER FAMILIAS.Dannevirke, August 25

[We regret that Paterfamiliasshould have suffered this disappoint-ment., but wo find some consolation inthe proof his letter affords us of thepower of die- press. By an oversightthe notification was inserted lastevening without authority. The pro-prietors of the pictures are not at allresponsible. We may add that diepictures will be shown this eveningas announced elsewhere.—En. Advo-cate.]

A BOUQUET FROM "PUNCH."

Our congratulations to the DailyNews ior publishing at least two itemsof excl:usivo i'nfoirmaition concerningour Navy. King George, we aire told,lias, in his time, not only swabbedtine deck ainid fed tlhe fire, but lias also"furled the mast." Further, "oxereight Dreadnoughts (represent a totaltonnage of 523,650," thus averagingover 65,000 tons apiece. Prodigious!—not to say, grateful and comfort-ing.

"Two-year-old twins who fell fromthe second-floor window of a house inHamburg were,'' the Express in-forms us, "uninjured." The fortun-ate coupile will, we presmme, adopt astheir motto the paradox, "United wefall."

Tlhe Times has published a letteron "Losses of Sheep in Hunts." Wecan only imiagine such losses to "be duoto the fact that miamy of oooir sports-men suffer from short sight.

We do not want a repetition hereof the trouble in Morooc©, and wethink the police were wise to arresta Pretender who was found walkingdown Park Lane with a lairge giltcro w:n on his 'head, copiously jewelledwith glass.

The menu at the Royial Luncheonat the GuildbaJll was printed an Eng-lish. We believe this innovation tobe due to the fact that previous menushave been found to puzzle the Frenchguests.

THE POINT OF VIEW.Farmer (on mioto,r-bus trip, viewing

the Coronation stands): "My ! Whatcowsheds these wouM 'ave miaidle,Bill!"

CONSIDERATE.The Squire (just returned from

London) : "By the way, how did yourbazaar go off?"

Cuirate: "Oh, we haven't had ityet. By somie error it was fixed forthe 22nd, and the vicar very wiselypostponed it. He was afraid it mightinterfere with the Coronation."

A Taranaki horse-owner at present inAustralia, writing to a friend, states thatthe market is flooded with good animals,and that the sales, which commenced thisweek, may bo affected prejudically. Headds that the Taranalci horses appear tobe as good as the very best that areoffering. Disease, however, is very rifethere just now, and it is no uncommonsight to see some of the finest horsesdie. Some of the stables are infectedwith disease, and it is dangerous to usethem.

Kodaks of the children and Kodaksby t'h© children are the pictures mostvalued in. any collection.

A New Plymouth contemporary pointsout the absurdity of keeping Stateschools open until an epidemic has a firmgrip among the pupils, £Ls, if the schoolswere closed as soon as th& disease madeits appearance, its further spread wouldbe minimised. The idea seems to be,adds our contemporary, to carry on aslong as possible in order that the greatestnumber of children should be affected.It is further pointed out that careful pa-rents cannot, without risk of penalty, usetheir discretion in keeping their childrenaway from a school in which an epidem-ic has made its appearance, the truantofficer having power to insist that a childshall attend school and contract measles,or other epidemic, or otherwise take sum-mary proceedings against the said carefulparents.
