*uthprHy : <* *' Qn the night following the departure of the Imperial yacht from Eng land, the crew were beaten to quaiters, aiid were Bwpnked to find the'quarterdeck brilliantly illuminated, and an altar being erected on deck, bearing the Old and New Testaments.! The Kaiser stood by it, wearing a white chasuble, with a crossier in his hand, and a black and white mitre on his head. He read the most warlike, passages from the Testaments, and invited the crew to respond. He then preached a long sermon on the duties of sovereigns to their people. The whole service lasted from 11 o'clock at night till 2 o'clock in the morning. The ciew.were then piped bplow. At 5 o'clock in the morning the Kaiser appeared, on the bridge-in the uniform of a high admiral, looking extremely haggard, and addressing .the commander said—"Sir, retire to your cabin, I shall take charge." The com mander replied, "Sir, permit me to ob serve that we are in a dangerous passage, and it is advisable for your Majesty's safety as well as that of the crew, that a sailor remain in charge." The Emperor responded, " Never mind, God will in spire me. The commander bowed and retired. The second officer remaining, the Emperor angrily bade him retire also. The officer respectfully protesting, the Emperor said : "You resist? Wretched creature, you trouble the spirit of God that is within me. This is the vengeance of God upon you "—dealing the officer a heavy blow en the cheek. The officer turned crimson but remained passive, until the Emperor seized him by the throat and tried to throw him overboard. In the struggle that followed the Emperor fell and broke his kneecap. He howled with pain, and his eyes protruded from their sockets. He foamed at the mouth, and swore terribly, displaying symptoms of madness. The officers, after consulta tion, carried him into a cabin, nobody being admitted excepting the doctor, Empress, and the. men necessary to re strain him till his leg was bandaged, and he was encased in a straight-jacket. The crisis lasted three days.

SUPREME COURT.

[per tress association. Wellington, September 10. Christian Hansen, for setting fire to the Island Bay Hotel, was sentenced to three years hard labor. In the Divorce Coutt a rule «m was granted in Logan v Logan, a husband's petition. Neither respondent nor Chas land (a half-caste) the co-respondent was represented. Hazel, the theatrical agent who was found guilty cf obtaining money from a new chum under the false pretence of putting it in to a travelling company, was brought up to day and remanded for pro bation. The Chief Justice refused to reserve the law points raised, on the ground that there was nothing in them. The charge of perjury against Nitiku Hapiti, a Maori tfouth from Otaki, which had resulted in the jury disagreeing last week, occupied the Court all to-day. At 8.30 p.m. the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Oamaeu, September 11. • The charge against David Campbell, for sheep stealing at Mount Nessing, occupied the Court since Tuesday. The jury re turned a verdict of not guilty, with a rider that Campbell leaves the Court without a stain upon his character, A nolle prosequi was entered up in the second charge against the accused.

POLITICAL.

(feom our parliamentary corr&s I'ONDENT.) Wellington, September 10. While the Female Suffrage Bill was be ing discussed in the Upper House yester day and to-day a considerable number of ladies ,were in their gallery, and great interest was shown. The speeches were of excellent quality. Mr Bowen, yester day in moving the amendment that the Bill be read that day six months, made one of ihe finest speeches ever listened to in the Council. It was understood that the Lords were evenly divided on the subject, and it was whispered that Sir Harry Atkinson, the Speaker, would find himself in an embarrassing position if called upon to give a casting vote. This afternoon excellent speeches were made by Messrs Buckley, Grace and Wilson. Mr Buckley thought the Hill premature, and urged that the colony ought to be consulted. He said previous speakers had enlarged on the "heroic virtues" of woman in danger and her angelic virtues by the pick bed, but none had referied to her domestic "virtues." Dr Grace thought the grand influence of woman, so valuable in this levelling age, would be marred when she became a political partisan. The division was close—ayes J7, noe» 15. There is an end of female suffrage. The Workmen's Lien Bill was rejected and the Dentists Bill read a third time in its amended form, the Council having can celled the proviso making the local ex amining board, that existing at Dunedin. The Public Works Statement- is ac knowledged to bean equitable distribution of the funds at the Minister's disposal. The Libel and Bankruptcy Bills will come on if time permit. Wellington, September 11. There was some sensation this evening on the debate on the Payment "of Members Bill. One or two members wer.e discretly absent. Messrs Blake and Bhodes opposed the third reading, on the ground that io was unfair to reduce the Civil servants and raise their own " screw." Sir George Grey spoke to reduce the pay ment to £150. Mr Seddon made a spirited reply, and denounced the opposition to the proposal. He had seen in former times members sitting quietly lo observe how others voted, and when they were sure of a majority they voted against it. Mr Carncross said the. colony would judge the men who voted. What about the Opposition men who spoke for it and then voted against it. (Applause). The member for Egmont had no right to lecture them as he had done. Mr T. McKenzie made a characteristic speech against the Bill accusing Ministers of change of front. , Mr Rees hoped when those who voted against the Bill explained to their con stituents they would also say that they voted against the amount and then took it, Mr Earnshaw said carrying the Bill would mean the return oflabbr members. The action of the Opposition showed their desire to thrust out the labor men. Those whospoke against the Bill really wanted it. Mr Ballance repudiated the misrepre sentation of himself, and supported the ; Bill on the ground that democracy re quired good representation, and recog nised the need for sustaining members by sufficient payment. If the colony wanted good men they rausfc pay them. It was not landocracy but plutocracy that oppressed the colony. A member of Parliament if he did his duty was worthy of his hire.

(per press association.) Wellington, September.ll. The Labor Bills Committee in their re port on the Woikmen's Lien Bill, con rider that the results of the law if passed ■would inereaße litigation and lead to the restriction of labor, ana the Committee lire therefore not prepared to recommend its passing. ,

The "Thirds" Question.

(fbb press association.)

Wellington, September 10. In fch« (House of Representatives on tthiuidfy night M,r Wright «wved the »*•

i journtnent of the House to enable liim jto '■' ; f^fer to the position of the occupants of deferred payment, perpetual lease, and village settlement lands i-i the county of Ash burton. He spoke at considerable length on this question, and protested against the action of the Minister for Lands in .hot agreeing to the accrued "thirds" une to tlnwo settlvi's beiua paid over to the Comity Council, so tint they might be expended iu v providing them with water, which they were in .such great need of. He said it was a cry ing shame that those settlers should be kept out of their just rights, and he could not understand how the Minister for Lands should have raised so much difficulty in doing a straightforward action to small settters. Mr J. McKenzie defended his action and said if the Road Boards and County Council could not agree in this matter, he was not to blame. He had stopped '•thirds" immediately after Mr Wright asked him to do so, but now the lion gentleman wanted -him to take action that was opposed to all the local bodies in the district. It was clearly his duty to hold over this money till the dispute was settled, and when that was done he would pay the " thirds " that had accrued. Mr Wright said the best judges of the matter were the settlers of the district. They had petitioned to the number of ■ ninety-nine people, who w^re most, directly interested in this matter, and clearly better judges than the lioad Bo irds. The motion for adjournment was lost.

SPORTING.

RANDWICK TRAINING. [per press association. Sydney, September 10. Oxide has been doing great work at Bandwick, and if the Derby is strongly run from end to end it will favor the son of Sardonyx. Sunshine, assisted by Market, left a mile behind in fine style. Scots Grey put in a good working gallop, but nothing of special moment. Muriel did excellent work, and she will require a lot ot beating in the Metropolitan Stakes. Sfcromboli, the Derby favorite, was sent a striding gallop once round, and appeared to tire a little ab the finish. A large number of horses were out, and were tieated to sound work. Collins, the jockey, was thrown and severely injured to-day while schooling Takapau, the New Zealand jumper, over the hurdles. (Received September 11, 11 a.m.) Sydney, September 11. Palliser and Moraine are the only New Zealand horses left in the Epsom Handicap,

MR JAMKS AUSTIN, Winchester, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, not withstanding the very bad season for that ctop. I sowed the lime with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty in so doing. \Vhere any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime in sowing wheat; hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest : Says —He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime aad phosphate in the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the most lime, although he v/as told not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the lime would liberate • the ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MRW, HARRISON, South Rakaia, Says—He ground the lime into a fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of about 2£ cwt per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and in about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted, and finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success. ■ P.S.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. l§j£P To ensure delivery Orders should bp sent early. *11 E.
