ranked higher than any other securities whatever. By that time the total of land-notes in circulation had increased to twelve millions. It will therefore bo seen that such a scheme has proved successful In a country like Prussia ; and 1 am quite sure that it only reqnires trial here to prove similarly successful. The Bill ha 5 been so drafted as to provide for all instances of the cise. I may be per mitted to briffly explain its more salient points. In tho First Part it provides for the establishment of co-operative associa tions, and all associations- now trading or registered under that heading ate per. mitted to participate in the advantages of this Bill, but any hereafter registered must be comprised of members at least two-thirds of whom are engaged in agricultural pursuits—that provision must da campised with before a new associa tion can be allowed to taka advantage of the provision of this Bill. Then, they will be permitted to issue what are called general debentures; but the association must have raised &t least t tenth cf the maximum v»luo of its copital before it can issue those de bentures. Part If, provides for the use of loans, the general borrowing powers, | and the administration of tho association. The loans are to ba applied to i he payment of liabilities, the paying off of contracts or additional loans, and the issuing of debentures after the receipt of the certifi cate of the Registrar. The directors cm then seU their debentures in tho London money-market for the nominal amount authorized to be issued within or without the colony. Tho powers of the English agent of the association and of the agents generally will be to borrow money, in England and elsewhere in Europe, by bonds and otherwise, and by shortdated debentures, which shall not bear greater uvterest than 6£ per cent. ; but the association can reduce that Interest if it can obtain money at a less rate. Mr Ivess then proceeded to explain the various clauses of the Hill seriatim and | concluded as follows: —There are numerous other c'auaes in the Bill which 1 has been placed in my bands to explain to the House. Many members may con sider it a herculean task that wn im posed upon me to describe it, but I rely on the intelligence of honourable mem bers to follow the Bill for themselves. I am quite sure they will have no difficulty in doing that. I may also add that I have not the credit, nor do 1 wish to accept the credit, of drafting this Bill. As I said in my opening remarks, It has been drafted by a gentleman who has given long study to this important subject, and who has full confidence that the measure will be liberally and fairly dealt with. All that be is desirous of Is, that an impartial discussion should be elicited upon the various clauses of the Bill. There may, of course, be many cm.rsions in the Bill, and perhaps tho inte'pretations of the varicu* clauses are not fairly set out

For instance, there is an omission as to who should occupy the position of Registrar ; bub the aema thing occurred In the Mortgage Debentures Bill. When that wrs introduced tho position that the Agent-General was to occupy wts not defined so Ido not think the House will decline to discuss the mo. its of this Bill because there may be a difficulty in defin ing the various provisions of ihe Bill. 1 am sure tb-\t the mea ure will receive duo attention at the hands of motnlers of tho

Houe', many of whom, I observe, have taken a keen interest in iho subject, not only during the time the Mortgage De bentures Bill wes under discussion, bet when they were on l ho hustings seeking

Beats in this Assembly ; and, as tho time is not far distant when they will occupy similar positions and be called upon to account for the action they have t?kcn in reference to this Bill, I trust tiny will, at all events, allow it to go into Committee.

I am sure it may be there amended and made workable by the united wisdom that is likely to be bestowed upon it.

ERUPTION OF TARAWERA

[per press association.] A Locg Fast. KoxokuA; June 16. The discovery of the old chief named Totutonga, buried in a whare at Walroa, is a strong reflection upon the dilatcrinuss of the Government in adopting measures to explore these houses. Although mud was heaped up around the whare and over the roof to a height of over 4 feet, the dcor was not so blocked as to shut out light. The failure to find him, however, was partly the wish of the natives in the village that he should never bo discovered. He is reputed to bo over 100 jeara old, and is greatly feared as a wizard of fbst | class transmogrification power. Ho is accused of causing the death of a child before by “Belching” him. The doatruc tion of Wairoa is also attributed to the old man’s malevolence. When found ho seemed perfectly contented with his con dition. Although a mere skeleton, his 104 hours hybornating had not made him speechless, and he protested against being c rried ouP. He at once partook of food, however ; and on reaching the sanatorium at Rotoma, was fed upon milk, administered in small quantities. His dutiful nephew and geandchildron, who ha 1 made no efforts to reirch for their aged relative, flocked down to weep over him when he came m To-day was a great day with the Wairoa refugees in front of the meetinghouse at Rotorua The food for distribution was heaped up ; the great rod flag of the tribe, bearing the name of their ancestor, was hoisted at the flag mast, and the chief made the usual harangues. The natives of the dis trict have behavee very well to their un fortunate brethren, dividing clothing with them freely. Government have also authorised the issue of food and clothing.

Groundless Bumors. > Ohinamutu Is in a condition for the pro duction of a panic on small provocation, Wonderful stories, which are pure fic'ion. or have slight foundation, fly about con tinuously. One current to-day, with much detail, was to the effect that Mount Edgecombe has broken into eruption, or that White Island was in a terrible fer ment. There seems no ground for this report, beyond the increased activity of the Ngaruahua, at Tikitere. The ad jacent districts arapn activity, which, as Dr. Hector points out, is readily accounted for both there and hero, by the closing of the outlet with mud and the banking up of water in the lakes and springs. Rotorua is two feet higher from this cause, but the ovetflow will clear a course for hadf, as it has done at Wairoa. What may be effected by the slipping of the mud on the north shore into Rotorua remains to be soon. If there is a very sad side to the catastrophe there is also a humorous one.

A Maori Prayer. Mr Morgan, surveyor, rela'od that ho was at Galatea with the natives, and when tho shower of ashts came on, one native fell upon his knees and exclaimed, “ Oh Lord, if you will only lot us got out of this, I will give yon a pound, and Morgan shall keep it." A Curious Point. A curious point of insurance loss has arisen in the case of Mcßae’s hotel, Wairoa. It was insured for £I2BO in the Onion, but doubts have been entertained as to whether the company is liable, as tho destruefion was caused by volcanic eruption. To day McPae received tho following telegram from Tauranga : “ Insurance company not liable ; matter, however, bo fully considered by directors : awfully soary for you.” W. M Commons Miscellaneous Details.

Dr Hector left this morning for Napier, via Taupe, accompanied by Messrs Vaux, Sladdou, and Pope, Sergt. Cahill .left for Maketu, to sea the state of the district and arrange for a distribution of forage for cattle. Inspector Goodall proposes leaving to morrow for Tanranga to per form the same mission in the adjacent distiiots where cattle are starving. In specter Goodall sent Constable Cavanagh today to Kaiterera to bring in old Pariri and the native women rescued Pfom Waitangi to ilotorua Hospital. Old. Tutioto, who was dug out, is recovering fast. Blythe leaves for Galatea t'-raoirow and brings Mrs Blythe and Mr and Mrs Soper from Galatea This is necessary, as' owing to the blocking o : the roads with volcanic mud no supplies can be got in ; they will go to Auckland by Taupe and Lichfield. Morgan, Blythe's over seer at Galatea, ai.ived to-night Ho states Mrs Blythe had tried first to get through alone, as the natives would not assist. Not being able ha went back fifteen miles to his place and took her to Preece’s old mission station. " He states that the Fangaroa plains are covered with volcanic mud. The volcanoes had not extended to them. A third volcano nor ! h of t.'ksro was very eclivo, throwing up boulders. Percy Smith, Assistant Surveyor General, arrived at Polcrua to-night. He informed me lo had spent Sunday and Monday at the south end of the volcanic erup lion near Gkaro. The southern crater : s about 200 yards long 250 yards wide, and 350 feet deep. He examined the back of the pink terrace. Bath it and the white terraces are blown up. The country round Lake Botomahana is all in motion lo the lake. He went on to Wairoa, and there found a Maori who had discovered the woman coming from Wai tangl and had abandoned her. He stated thit the natives had gone out to bring her in, and had started with a party of Europeans. The natives discovered her at a point three miles north of Wairoa. She had been six days without food or water ; and was wandering in her mind. Smith, Baker and B’ytho aided by four natives carried her to Kaitori. Constable Kavanagh, who saw her to-day, says she will recover. Smith leaves for Auckland on Friday, but hopes to return when | the weather is better to examine the Tarawera ranges, especially at the He believes the rain now going on will clear the hills of mud, and enable them to be accessible, but practically destroy Tarawera lake and still further alter its appearance. Mcßae has sent seven horses to try ajid get out a wagon having a piano in it. The drivers could not get to Tikitapu bush even, and had to go back over the flat at the lake. The volcanic slush from the mountains at lake Rotokakahl has now

found its way to the lake, obliterating this sec* lon of tho road. There is not a living thing now in Wairoabut It is belived tho Maoris at the adjacent settlement will peril their livrs to reach and plunder Mcßae's sto’e. Tho last Europeans who come f ut stole some of Humphries’ goods. Aa the weather at Tarawera is cold and rainy, most of the visitors, tho Press representatives, and natives are going to clear out on Sunday unless anything im portant Intervenes. Edward, a native Interpreter, and one cf the boating barty, has made a series of rough pencil sketches showing many features of volcanic act! n on the Tarawera range, and the altered State of the country. As neither Dr Hector nor the photographer got a view of the Tarawera side of the volcanic system, these sketches will be especially Interesting and valuable.
