Hobart, September 12. Sailed, yesterday.—Monowai, for . New Zealand. Sydney, Sept. 12. The Trades Council has passed a resolution declining to recognise Mr Champion as a representative of Trades Unions, and refuses to accept him as a mediator m the present struggle ; also that the Council regards his actions during his visit to Australia as opposed ; to the best interests of labor. The Labour Defence Committee declare they have no intention of call ing out the-Western miners so long as •work is carried out as at present. The Chairman of Broken Hill propietary mine disclaims any connec tion with the Employers Union, and states that the lack of supply of timber and coal was the sole cause of shutting down. Mine operations are to be resumed as soon as supplies are avail able. Adelaide, September 12. A number of officers who withdrew from the Adelaide Steamship Com pany's steamers have returned to work.

Auckland, September 12. The Kahu, with a Union crew, arrived from Napier last night, and is discharging to-day with Union lumpers. The Southern Cross and Manapouri are dis charging with non-union labor, 'lhings are quiet on the wharves. The Sarah Pile, brigantine, has arrived from Raratonga with a cargo of oranges and lime juice. She is discharging with her crew. The lumpers, two or three m number, struck work this morning owing to a non-union carter being employed to cart goods away. There is some talk of the trouble extending to the Island steamer Richmond on her arrival from Tonga, as she is owned by Donald and Edenborough, the same firm as have the •Sarah Pile under charter. Carters and expressmen returned to work unconditionally this morning. In several places the carters found situations already filled. Wellington, September 12. Mr D. P. Fisher, president of the T. and L. Council, m an interview with a " Times" reporter yesterday, said the two parties m Australia should be compelled to settle their difficulties within a given *kne, and failing their doing so the ship owners and Unions m New Zealand should secede from the other colonies. New •Zealand lias nothing to complain of, and all that is wanted is to revert to sfatu quo ante. The Council, he says, are quite willing to withdraw, and supposing the Union Company would not, employers and employed should combine to force them to it. , Several employers, when interviewed, said Unionists must abandon the rule which forbids members of Unions work ing alongside " free" labor, and m all cases employers will resist coercion among workmen. _. „ In an interview with tbe "Times reporter the President of the Federated Trades Council said that one most difficult question to settle m connection with the present dispute was non-unionist labor, and though anxious for a settlement, the men would not submit to the crushing of Unions. He also mentioned that money was coming m well, and there was no danger about funds. Mr Fisher, President of the Council, stated there were 60,000 Unionists m the Colony. He calculated that there were about 1200 men on strike here and about 4500 all over the Colony. A number of employers who were inter viewed said that a clear and distinct agreement must be come to among employers that all non-union workers who had taken the place of strikers should be retained. All employers agree that there is no scarcity of labor. Blenheim, September la. As far as Picton is concerned the jstrike may be considered almost ended. On Wednesday m order to meet the pro bable refusal to work the Graf ton, the Union Company's agent took down non union labor, and got the boat away next morning. Before the agent left Picton Jast night eight unionists waited on him and of their own free will gave him a «i<n*ed agreement throwing off allegiance to°th« Maritime Council, and others, it is said, are willing to do the same. They will be tested to-morrow when the Kameri comes m. . At nine o'clock yesterday morning the Marit:me Council called out the railway employees, but they refused to recognise the call.

JRlown to ««■«. Auckland, September 12. Garrett,tae young man who was blown to see m a dingy at the Thames, has been TIM» XJ>»r>raTHl« Mrnrd*r. The trial of Funcke for the Dargaville murder, is proceeding to-day. A number of special men are giving evidence m sup port of the plea of insanity. * Later. A telegram received from Auckland just before going to preas, states that the charge against Henry Funcke, for having wilfully murdered Constable McLcod at Dargaville, was commenced to-day. The medical evi dence produced by the defence was very strong in.proving that prisoner was insane, and suffering from a delusion that he was being persecuted. After eighteen minutes'deliberation the jury returned a verdict that Funcke was not guilty, cm the grounds of insanity. Mr Justice Conoily airected that prisoner be removed to the Auckland Lunatic Asylum, and kept m close custody during the pleasure of the Colonial Secretary.

LABOR QUESTIONS.

(PER VB.ESS ASSOCIATION,

Wellington, September 12. The man named Gerard, who was 'knocked down the hold of the steamer Australia," m suffering from injury to the wrine, and lies m a precarious condition. \lian .state? he was struck first, and only acted m self-defence Allan was brought before the Magistrate's Court tins morn ing ami remanded.

Messrs Lewis and John Collier were charged with assault. Mr Jellicoe said the Maritime Council had now issued a manifesto calling on all Unionists to keep order and do their best to preserve the peace. He added that the Maritime Council and Federated Trades and Labor Councils would not, m future, be re^ sponsible for any rows, and individuals concerned m them could not look to these bodies for support or protection. They would have to answer charges on their own account. The Crown Prosecutor said, m face of that statement he would, seeing the assaults were not of a serious nature, withdraw the charges. Mr Robin ton, R.M., agreed to this. The Court was crowded to suffocation, and there was some applause on the decision being an nounced, but was quickly suppressed. The charges against T. Beveridge, for obstructing and inciting, Andrew Nelson and Nicholas Calogorlas, were remanded until Tuesday.

A misprint occurred m our Court report of yesterday. In the case of non-regietra tion of birth the name of R. McCallura should read Thomas McCalman. < Eleven men were charged at the Christ church R.M. Court yesterday with unlawfully and maliciously inflicting grevious bodily harm upon one John Walker, of Richmond, at Wilson's road on the evening of Monday, September 8. Their names were William Thomas Barnes, William Buckley, Federick Green, Thomaij Blake, Peter Morrison, Wil iam Petheram, William Sinclair, James M'Gerty, Samuel M Donald, Luke Buckley and James Lewin. The case arose out of the present labor dispute, and accused were remanded until Monday next, bail being re fused. Barns and M'Gerty are prominent Unionists, and were active during the past few days m their professions of desire to help to keep the peace. All the accused are Lyttelton men. A contemporary states that a new shipping company has been formed, called the New castle Shipping Company, with the head quarters m New South Wales. A large number of shares have been taken up by the leading produce dealers m Newcastle and Sydney, but a certain proportion of the shares have been reserved for allotment m this colony. One of the objects of the pro moters is to increase the produce trade between New South Wales and New Zealand, which, says our contemporary, will be a benefit to our farmers, as the want of shipping facilities has been much felt of late. The new company do not intend to confine themselves to the two colonies named, but will despatch vessels for Home from the dif ferent ports m both New South Wales and New Zealand. The Paris newspaper, " Paix," states that a French scientist has made a discovery which is likely to revolutionise the art of war. M. Paul Giffard has found out a liquid gas which can be used to propel bull«tsi cannon shot, or shell. The Chamber of Commerce of St. Etienne has been ao im pressed by the value of the discovery that it has conferred upon him a gold medal and a more substantial reward of 10,000 francs. A small steel receptacle is placed under the barrel of the rifle containing 300 drops of this liquid gas. At each pull of the trigger one drop falls into the breech of the barrel behind the bullet, and contact with the atmospheric air causes it to volatilise instan taneously and with a force of expansion exceeding that of gunpowder, and drives the bullet before it with equal or greater velocity than gunpowder. No smoke or sound is produced.

The annual meeting of the Ashburton Cricket Club was held last night m the Council Chambers, and was well attended. Mr G. W. Andrews was chairman. The report and balance sheet, read by the Secretary, disclosed a passably good finan cial position, Both were adopted. . Letters from the Domain Board were read making I the offers agreed upon by the Board for the Club's use of the ground; The Board's last offer was accepted, the Club to ask the Council to employ a man for a day or two to fill up the holes on the pitch, and also for the use of the water to flood the pitch when necessary. The following officers were elected:—President, Dr Tweed ; Vice- Presidents —Messrs F. Wilding, Purnell, Thomas, Rees, and Rev E. A, Scott; Secretary, Mr W. L. Andrews; Treasurer, j |F. Mainwaring; and a Committee of five. [It was resolved that all subscriboions be paid before commencing play; that adult members' subscription be 10s per annum and junior members' ss. The Secretary was instructed to write to several Clubs named with the views of arranging matches. At the Police Court this morning, before Messrs. R. Alcorn and Alfred Harrison, Justices of the Peace, James Gill and Michael Shea were each charged with being "idle and disorderly persons, and having no visible lawful means of support." To the charge against Shea was added that "having beeu , previously convicted as such, is now a rogue and vagabond." Gill pleaded not guilty, hut the police evidence was too much for him, and the Court sent him to gaol for a month with hard labor. Shea pleaded guilty, and he was let off with seven days' hard labor, An extenuating circumstance m Shea's caeo was that he had not been j before the Courfc for some years; but Gill had only just finished a term of three months' for a very bad case of assault, and according to the police was a most inveterate cadger, and altogether a bad lot. A meeting of the Ashburton Cycling Club was held last evening m Mrs Pearson's rooms, Triangle. Only four members at tended. The a embers expressed their regret that the attendance was so small, which showed plainly that cycling was on the wane m Ashburton, for what reason they could not explain. The club has a grand'future be fore it, if the young men would but take an interest m this sport winch is looked upon as a very manly and popular recreation. From the japaihy shown |by members and cyclists generally, it did not eiiGourago those who had always taken on active interest m the clnb's welfare. The captain stated he was sorry that such bungling occurred last year, which did no end of mischief, and so far as he was personally concerned, he would not press members to join against their wish. lie would therefore move that the club for the present) l?e dissolved, but that if any one wished to convene a meeting at any future date he would subscribe towards its funds and do all he could as a private member to further the interest of cycling. All those present endorsed these remarks. The meet ing then closed. ___________________
