The fight over the sugar schedule delays the passage of the Tariff Bill, but you may rest satisfied that the duty will be removed from New Zealand flax, and that the American demand will be renewed if a superier article is sent to market. Uf course, if the direct steamers to San JJran cisco are taken off, the result will be very injurious to flax exporters, owing to the interruption and delay m mail communica tion. lam pleased to find that the outlook for your fruit is so good.

Vanderbilt's railway men decline to strike. . , __ Sydney, August 26. The Union Cos. steamers Ohau, Tarawera. and Taieri are being un loaded by non-Union labor, of which there is plenty available. The employers have established ft labor bureau where non-unionists can apply for work. Stewards and cooks still remain on the Union Company's vessels. Newcastle, August 26. The Agricultural Company's men have struck, and there is every proba bility of a general strike m the coal trade. , , , A large crowd rushed the steamer Gwyder, dragged the non-Umon laborers from their work, and severely used them. The men were ultimately rescued by the police. Melbourne, August 26 The crew of the Tasmanian steamer Tenders refused to strike. [&emved August 27, at noon.] 1 London, August 2b, Acting on a cablegram received by Mr G Bhipton, Secretary to the Trades Council, the Dockers Union has re solved to extend moral *nd pecuniary assistance to the Australian strikers so soon as they hear the nature of assistance required. # A deputation representing the Sailors, Firemen, and Dockers' Unions have asked for an interview with the Directors of the British Indian Steam ship Company, with a view to urging them to instruct their Australian agents to comply with the demand of the Maritime bodies m those colonies. At a meeting of 20,000 Derbyshire miners, resolutions were earned de manding eight hours as a day s^ labor. Similar meeting* have been held m other districts. (Received August 27, 11.30 a.m.) x Sydney, August 27. The Labor Defence Committee has decided to allow wharf laborers to dis charge deep sea vessels. Miners m Wallsend colliery have struck. o ~ Melbourne, August 27. The gas stokers have gone out on strike, but the Gas Company are confident they will be able to maintain the supply by non-Union labor. At a meeting of employers it was resolved to urge employers who are not already members of the Union to join at once, so as to ensure united action being taken*in repelling the unjust demands of labor organisa tions. (Received August 27, 12.20 p.m.) * Sydney, August 27. The principal Broken Hill silver mjnes are shut down for want of fuel. About K*oo non-union laborers aie employed, berthed, and fed on the ■wharves. The Labor Committee announce that they are prepared to sacUwtefce con tracts for loading and discharging vessels. The Conciliation Court Bill, dealing with labor difficulties, and introduced m the House of Assembly by Mr Dibbs, leader of the Opposition, provides that the Court shall consist of five or six persons, one from each side, with a permanent President, who is to have ihe status of a Supreme Court Judge. The Marine Engineers have, by a majority of fourteen, disapproved of ■the action of the Amalgamated Society (of Engineers m calling the men out. MswaoußNE, August 27. Arrangements 'have been made to run «wal trains from New South Wales as tlie North East Railway system is dependent upon that colony for itsj coal supply. Brisbane, August 27. The police hav«e been reinforced by 150 of the permanent force, under arms, who will be called out m case of emergency.

DraneniN, August 26. Private cable messages received from Sydney convey a large nmount of infor mation -with respect to the development of matters re the shipping strike m Sydney. The Union Company's Tarawera, Taieri, and Ohau are getting their cargoes dis charged by non-Union laber, plenty of which is available. The A, A. Company's miners have all gone <->ut on strike on account of the Corimia being coaled from i the mine. All the Souther" colliery proprietors have decided iwt< to coal steamers running outside the Owners Association, and it is probable the New castle proprietors wij) follow suit. Mean while there is a prospect of all the miners at Newcastle coming out. The crew of the Flinders, one of the Ta,smanian Stea>» Navigation Company's vessels, Isavo refused to strike at the command of the Seamen's Union. Tlic foiloAvitig manifesto lias been put forward by the Union Steam Shipping Company: — "The Directors °f "ie union Steam Shipping "Company of New Zealand have arrived at the conclusion, with much

regret, that the present policy of the Labor Unions of all Australasia, which has led to the imminent paralysis of trade m all the colonies, and which has kept up constant irritation and unbearable uncer tainty m. all departments of trade for seme months past, is the outcome of a general determination on their part to try their strength with all employers of labor. There has been no dispute of any serious character m New Zealand, and the disputes m Australia cannot be considered to bear any relation to the measures adopted by the Unions. The Directors have, therefore, no alternative left but to fall m with the resolutions of the Steamship Owners' Association, and other em ployers of labor, and to support them to the utmost of their power m opposing the encroachments of Labor Unions by every possible means, until it is found that negotiations can be re-opened with some prospect of such a settlement as will enable them to conduct business with some degree of comfort and confidence. They have no hesitation m declaring that the wages paid by them for many years are such as no reasonable men can com plain of, and that their relations with all classes of their men have always been such as they have a right to regard with satisfaction, and, therefore, they unhesi tatingly throw the whole responsibility of the very serious disorganisation which is about to ensue upon the shoulders of the leaders of the Unions." The Christchurch Manager of the Union Company yesterday received *he follow ing telegram from the Head Office Dunedin :— " The Lumpers' Union are withdrawing the men from the Wairarapa, Te Anau, and other intercolonial steamers on arrival. Will not interfere with costal services m meantime unless non-union men are employed." Wellington, August 26. The act of calling out the crews from the intercolonial boats of the Union Com pany by the Seamen's Union was done at the instigation of the Maritime Council. The Union Company has withdrawn all sailing fixtures of their intercolonial boats from the advertising tables. A rumor is prevalent to-night that there will be a general lock out on the Union Companv.s steamers to-morrow. A telegram is known to have been re ceived from Mr McLean stating that he fears a areneral strike to-morrow, and telegrams on the subject {ire actively passing among the officials of the Mari time Council. It is believed here that the men would be willing to cut adrift from the Australian organisation if the Union Company would sever their connection j with the ship owners on the other side. The wharf laborers have determined to strike to-morrow if necessary, "Wellington, August 27. No fresh development of the labor difficulty Ims taken place here. Thu men I are working on the wharves and vessels ; as usual. Uunkdin, August 26* i Eighty men have given twenty-four hours' notice to leave the Wairarapa, dating from noon today. Mr Millar, us Secretary of the Seamen's Union, wired to the Executive of tlw Marine Officers' j Association, apprising them of what had taken place, and ho is confident they will take similar action. He explains this I action was taken because the Union Company are connected with the Ship owners' Association, and the only way m which a satisfactory settlement can be arrived at would be by the Union Com pany seceding from the Shipowners- Association, and paying the men m their employ the rates which the Australian shipowners refuse to give. The lumpers will discharge the ship here, but no cargo will be put on boarc'. by Union labor. Similar action was taken m re yard to the HaiH?oto and Tekapo. The Ellis line wilj not be affected, as they hare complied with the terms of the Association, It is said if no compromise is effected, the Union Company wjiU lay up then whole fleet. It is understood that Hie Seamen's Union will not interfere with the Inter provincial service at present, but business men consider it inevitable that the coastal service will eventually be involved. A report was freely circulated that the Com pany intended to lay up the whole of their fleet. The Directors of the Co. met yester day affcwn.qon to consider the matter, but no definite decision was arrived at, as they must be guided to a certain extent by the progress of events m Australia. ' The Company have received telegrams from different places containing offers of the services of largo numbers of non-union men to fill all positions on board their steamers, and it is believed nearly the whole fleet could be kept going by non unionists if the Company chose to adopt that course, The Jubilee is not affected, and a large amount of freight was yesterday booked at high rates for Sydney, the agents re fusing to take more. Only about thirty of the men belonging to the Tarawera have given notice. The engineers have not, and are not likely to strike, The Union Steamship ■ Company have suspended nutiuas both of their intercolonial and interprovincial services until further notice, It is evident the Union Company intend to fight the ques tion out. They are advertising for men to man the steamers m which the seamen and firemen have given notice. Undeterred by labor difficulties, the Union Company cabled Home to-day to purchase two new and large cargo boats to add to their fleet.

1889, by swearing that the firm of Ford and iNtiwton were m a good financial position. Mr Young applied for adjourn ment for eight days on the grounds that he had not been able to get a splicitor, and that Sir R. Stout, who would give material evidence, had not arrived. Mr Whitefoord offered an adjournment for one day. Mr Young replied that was not enough, as he wanted an order to have the Bank of New Zealand books examined. Mr Whitefoord said he could not give the order, and did not think a Supreme Court judge would give an order for books to be produced m the lower Court. Finally, Mr Young accepted the adjourn ment. Mr Whitefoord said bail would not be necessary.

Ashburton Coursing Club

(by pigeon post.) The last meeting for the season of the recently formed Coursing Club was held to-day at Winchmore, at.which a quite unexpectedly large crowd was present. The weather was all that could be desired, and the outing from the comfort point of view was very enjoyable. Mr A. J. Kelly had a waggon on the ground and provided an excellent luncheon, as wel] as the needful for the thirsty. Hares unfortunately were not as plentiful as could have been wished, and so a good deal of time was lost m beating for hares that did not rise. Mr John Corbitt acted as slipper, and had a long and gruelling trudge with the first couple m the leash before "puss" rose. The first paddock beaten was one just beyond the homestead on the left hand side of the road, about 250 acres m extent, and three-fourths of this was covered before any business was . done. Mr Corbitfc had Harpenden and Pride of Erin m the slips, and slipped immediately puss was sighted, but she made straight for the fence next the riverbed, where the dogs lost sight of her. Harpenden led so far as the Avork went, but the Judge had to declare an undecided course. The paddock was worked back on the upper side with Magic 11. and Lord Onslow m the leash, but finding nothing a shift was made to the paddock on the other side of the road, of very much greater acreage, but hero luck did not attend the Club any more than where they had been before, and it was quite half-past ten ere a hare was even sighted. At eleven o'clock when my first pigeon was despatched, no course had been run for want of hares.
