A fracas m which two leading medicos Trere concerned, arising out of recent proceedings of the Medical Association, is likely to come before the law courts.- There is a great deal of feeling among the supporters of women's franchise about the proposed compact to defer the measure coming into operation till after the next general election, and an indignation meeting has been convened. Miss Morri son, secretary to the Tailoresses' Union, has telegraphed to the Premier that the Federated .Tailoresses Council, repre senting 2000 working women, indignantly protest against the proposed suspension of the women's franchise, which as a matter of right and justice should come into effect at once. They hope the Ministry will justify its claims to Liber ality by immediately conferring this right on those who so far have loyally sup ported them. The Union also protest against the Council's action re increasing the number of persons m a factory as tending to encourage sweating.

Fearful scenes of riot and violence have occurred at Conception and Coronal. The latter place was sacked by the mob, who indulged m excesses of the worst kind. Women were abused under circumstances of revolt ing brutality. The German warships are now protecting the place. At Talcanhuano the troops revolted and were joined by four thousand miners. The men shot all their officers and sacked the town. There is a violent feeling against Egan, the American Minister, who is i accused of harboring refugee officials m the American warships. Order has been restored m Santiago, j A German cruiser, with Don Claudio Vicuna, who was to have succeeded i President Balmaceda, and many other official refugees, has come north, and will, it is believed, land them at Callao. It has been found impossible to bury ! those killed m Friday's battle and the bodies will be cremated. j New \okk, September 2. ; A rumor has found publicity here that President Balmaceda, while flee ing from Santiago, enraged at the slow-1 ness of a muleteer, struck him and was shot dead by the man.

Messrs Hislop, Bruce, Menteath, Izard, and all ex members will attend by invitation. THE NEW LEADER. Ib is nofc yet arranged who is to be leader of the Opposition. Messrs Scobie Mackenzie, Rolleston, and Sir John Hall now sib " cheek by jowl," and it is under stood they are the only candidates. Mr Mackenzie is not considered m the running. Sir John Hall is eminently fitted, but is not acceptable to the country. Mr Rolleston will probably be leader, though his views on the land question arc too advanced for his party. Sir John Hall has made some sparkling speeches of late, characterised by elegance of diction, and rippling with humour. The House usually hears him with pleasure, whether agreeing with his principles or not. LOCAL INDUSTRY. Mr Haycock, of Nelson, recently sub mitted samples of dressed flax, which were exhibited m the lobby, and handed to the Petitions Committee, who reported most favorably upon them. One of the Committee assured me (and he is a man of extensive experience) that he has the highest opinion of the product, and is convinced it would command the highest price at Home—quite an extraordinary sample, he says. The Committee recom mended Government to purchase five tons from the manufacturer at £15 per ton, but Government will, I b.4i3ve. purchase two tons. These to be sent Home to the J&ve. of the Agent-General, who will

communicate with the principal fabrii manufacturers m Britain, and get them to test and report on the article.

THE MINES STATEMENT.

J The Minister ior Mines has laid hi.s statement on the table of the House. Mr Seddon states that about one-eighth the entire population of the colony is sup ported by the mining industry. He refers to the falling ofl' m gold and the rapid development of coal-mining, and concludes by confidently looking forward to assume that as the mining industry advances it will maintain its former position as the most prominent factor m adding to the prosperity and future great ness of the colony. The amcuni received In goldfieldi revenue for the year ending March 31st last, was £19,074 and m gold duty £16,961, making a total of £36,035. The aveiage number of mineis employed on the goldfields for that period was 13,409, showing that the average tax on the 'goldminer m addition to the amount, he contributed to the revenue by the con sumption of dutiable goods is £2 13s 9d per man per annum. The total amount of revenue from goldfields up to the end of March last was £2,417,694. With regard to coal mining, Mr Seddon states that last year an important coalfield was opened m Hikuranai, m the Whangarei district, aud 3743 ton 3of coal produced equal, if not superior, to the semi—bituminous coal worked, at Kawa kawa, and the Bay of Islands. There is a large extent of coal m this new field, but before it can be brought to market at a reasonable cost of railway or tramway will have to be constructed to connect the mines with the port of shipment. The coal is nearly exhausted m the Kawakawa mine. Mr Seddon goes on to say that there are three things necessary m the development of the mining industry roads and tracks, water supplies, and prospecting—and works of this character required a certain amount of Govern ment aid. There are many places m the colony comparatively un explored, including the northern portion of the Auckland district, and the con struction of roads and tracks is indispens able. It is proposed to ask the House for a vote to aid people who choose to construct large works for supplying water to goldfields. It is the duty of the Government says Mr Seddon, to assist miners m prospecting and exploring. A small vote is to be asked for that purpose. In order that the work should be done systematically and economically it should be under the direction of the local authority or Miners' Association m the district. The Waste Lands Board to-day decided to recommend the Government to recog nise the claim of the Rakaia Road Board to a share of the thirds, and to pay over the money forthwith.

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 m about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted, and finishes by siyinf» 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.

MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says -He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime aad phosphate m 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 e\se one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing m tlie land «hich had the most lime, although he vas told not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the lirae would liberate the ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with. the result that he intends using lime again.
