It has transpired that Mr James Service has: telegraphed- to the other colonies inviting their support to the proposed annexation of New Hebrides. All the Governments have replied, ex cept New Zealand. The Government of South Australia has expressed their cordial approval of the proposal, and ■ the Governor, Sir Wm. Robinson, has telegraphed to Earl Derby and urged . his approval Mr Service has tele graphed to the Agent-General of Vic toria, in London, instructing him to take steps for furthering the object in . view. 1 Shipping. Melbourne, To-day. Arrived, yesterday morning—Hau roto, from Wellington. The Orient steamship Austral has sailed for Glas gow in excellent trim.

TELEGRAMS.

- [per press association.] The Natives. Auckland, To-day. Sir G. Grey Las received a letter from the Kiugite chiefs, expressing satisfaction with the sentiments expressed by the Governor during his recent visit to the Waikato. The Pilot System. , . The Harbor Board are considering a proposal to abolish compulsory pilotage, and employing * licensed pilots on the competition system. ' '■ Fire. • New Plymouth, To-day. The Bridge Hotel, at Waitara, was butnt down between two and three o’clock this morning. Mr Tatty, the proprietor, ■had recently sold his lease to Mr Prosser, late of Hawera, and was to have handed "over the premises to-day. Mr Tutty had, however, moved out of the house with his family on Saturday, and Mr Prosser was in the house. Tne only insurance is L3OO in the New Zealand office on the building, which is owned by Mr Brook ing. Nothing was saved. Plucked from the Burning. Christchurch, To-day, At the Magistrate's Court to-day three men were sentenced to 14 days’ hard labor, for stealing salvage goods during the fire.on-Sunday morning. i . o The Weather. Si . s i . Dunedin, To-day. -"T. There was a heavy fall of snow to-day. e r f An Innovation. ■■ -The St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church has agreed to the introduction of instru mental music. ■ The Dummyiam Question. ' ’The"first of the cases brought by the land' Board to compel the attendance of Witnesses is fixed for Thursday. -‘lt is stated, With what truth we know not,' that the water supply of the United States is diminishing to an .alarming ex tent', and the New York Times declares thAt'the rivers and lesser streams of the Atlantic States are visibly smaller than they were twenty-five years ago. Owing to the failurepf the springs and rains which once* served as feeders, many country brooks ' have totally disappeared; while the level of the great lakes falls year by and many piers on the shores of lake* side’cities, where vessels once approached with ease, now hardly reach to the edge of the water. Harbors are growing shallow, and all the dredging which can be done to New York harbor will not permanently deepen it; while that of Toronto has grown shallow}, in spite of such deep dredging as to reach the bottom rock. The Hudson is notably affected, and many places during the summer are almost bare in the upper water. If these details are correct, we should imagine the Shenomena' due not so much to the iminution of the water supply as to a gradual upheaval of the land, similar to that which is taking place in the Scandi navian peninsula. • .BEAD IT ALL. IT MAY SAVE YOUR UF& —Hop Bitters are the purest and best ' rned'jcineevermade.
