The Wairio Licensing Committee granted a new license in face of the option poll declaring against increase.

Compila tions are likely to arise,

POLITICAL.

(MOM OUR PARLIAMENTARY CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, June 15. The state of parties remains ulaltered, the Government having .a most decided majority. ..  It is understood pretty generally that Mr Bryce is to b« the Opposition leader. Captain Russell had nut arrived last I learn on good authority that the Chairmanship of Committees is to be settled to morrow, and I hear from a priv»fccf but w«U iuforwed source, that

the Government mean to support Mr W. C. .Smith. j I am in a position to state freely that the financial policy of the Government is quite ready for development and that it is of a most comprehensive character. The labor party in Wellington are de lighted with the Government programme in regard to them. A large contingent of southern mem bers came in yesterday, and delegates to the municipal conference are rolling up in force. Thj Electoral Bill comes on to-morrow. The Opposition have had one or two informal meetings, but no decisions have been arrived at. The advent of Captain Hussell is anxiously looked for by his party.

Municipal Conference.

(PEK PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, June 15. The Municipal Conference opened this morning. The delegates, of whom over forty were present, assembled in the Mayor's private room, and were welcomed by the Mayor. "The success of the Conference " was drunk in bumpers. On returning to the Council chamber, Mr A. W. Brown, Mayor of Wellington, wna unanimously elected chairman, and Mr Page, Town Clerk, secretary. In his opening address, Mr Brown expressed the opinion that more power ought to be accorded municipal institutions, and if this were d«"no they would not find, as [ very often was the case, Parliament undertaking d'lties which really belonged to a Public Woiks Committee. There should, he thought, be differential legislation as between the four large iiaes and the other boroughs. Especially was this desirable in regard to sanitation. He hop»d to see a Municipal Association on a substantial basis formed at this Conference. One of the most important questions to come up for discussion was the financial aspect of municipal corpoia tions. At the end of the Conference * deputation would wait upon the Govern ment and lay before them the result <>f their deliberations. The Premier, who was in sympathy with them, would no doubt assist them as much as possible.

Ashburton Racing Club.

A meeting of the Committee of the Ashburton Racnig Club was held on Saturday evening. The Works Committee reported that tendershad been accepted for top-dressing the course, and the work would be begun on Monday morning. Designs of a grand stand, which had been prepared by Mr J. C. Maddison, F.R.1.8.A., were submitted, aud a plan shewing seating accommodation for about three hundred persons, with ladies' and gentlemens' cloak rooms and lavatories and a spacious tea-room underneath, and a commodioup luncheon-room and bar in the basement wereselected. The cost, how ever, was more than had been anticipated, and for that reason and in order that the work may be dona under the most favourable conditions of weather, the building will not be undertaken until the Spring. Thedfttefor the Spring Race Meeting was the subject of some consideration, in consequence of the unusally lato date of the C.J.C. Spring meeting. It was de cided to hold the meeting on November 19 and 20.

SHEARERS' STRIKE ENDED.

Brisk ike, June 15. At a mass meeting of shearers held at Barcaldine Station f a resolution was passed declaring the strike ended. The Chairman explained that the Unions had been crushed, but by the Govern ment and the squatters. He advised the men to work, and to insist on Government finding employment for them. Many of the Unionists are bitterly incensed against their leaders for misrepresenting the state of the funds. Some of the men are in a per ftctly destitute condition.

Day by day the number of wells that have run dry is being added to. The wells in tlw north and north-east parts of the town are moat affected, but during last week some Wells in inoie central localities have given . out. This flatly contradicts the opinion which was expressed in some quarters that only a fall of rain was wanted to set the wells flowing again. Daring the whole of last week a strong coating \)t ice covered the reservoir at the Domain—some mornings quite three-quarters of an inch thick. Even the sunshine of to-day has had little effect in thawing off the sheet, which, however, is broken in parts. It will be remembered that two years ago on the 20th and 21st June the ice was sufficiently thick and keen on the upper reach of the Domain water to admit of skating, and not a few pairs of skates got an airing then that had not seen light for many a day. Whether the frost some of these nights may be sufficiently sharp to admit of skating again remains to be seen, but the ice has not yet touched bearing point this season.
