COLONIAL WARSHIPS.

London, November 9. H.M.S. Satellite replaces the Roya list on the Colonial station. THE LATE DUKE OP MARL BOROUGH. The Duke of Marlborough died of heart disease. THE EVICTED TENANTS' COMMISSION. The Opposition press continue to denounce the partisan spirit exhibited by Mr Justice Mathews, chairman of the Evicted Tenants' Commission. On the other hand the Government organs seek to justify his conduct, alleging that organised attempts are being made to throw discredit on the Com mission. Lord Clanricarde describes the Tenants' Commission as a plan of cam paign. One thousand and thirteen tenants are claiming reinstatement. The Bishop of Clonfert deposed be fore the Evicted Tenants' Commission that the Earl of Clanricarde's rents were unbearable, and he fully expected that they would lead to fresh outrages. THE LORD MAYOR'S SHOW. The Lord Mayor's Show was a very poor affair. In many parts of the city no bunting was displayed, and Mr Knell was hissed on several occasions. A procession of ultra-Protestants was forbidden to follow the show. LIBERAL FEDERATION MANIFESTO. The Liberal Federation's manifesto claims Home Rule for Ireland first; then labour, the liquor traffic, and land reforms. VIOLENT GALES. Further violent gales have been experienced in the Atlantic ocean, and several steamers are overdue. THE "PALL MALL GAZETTE." It is reported that Sir Charles Dilke has bought the " Pall Mall Gazette." ANGLO-COLONIAL.

It is believed among city men that the construction of railways in Vic toria, under the land grant system, would benefit the position of the colony in London, provided it was carried out within reasonable limits. It is sug gested that if the system is adopted, preference should be given to in-! dividuals over companies. Sir Graham Berry's refusal of the French oft'er about a loan is highly eulogised. Bankers and brokers assert that had the offer been accepted, it would have closed London borrowing, and seriously prejudiced the prices of colonial stocks as it would have created distrust.

THE BOMB EXPLOSION.

Paris, November 9. There was an exciting scene in the Chamber of Deputies during the de baste on the bomb explosion. The Premier's speech was interrupted by cries of " You helped to give the strikers courage-" Count de Bernis interpolated. " They sang ' Baron to the cannon,' and flaunted a red flag with the consent of the Government." The Premier denied these statements amid uproar. The Socialists blamed i the Anarchists for the outrage. . Two inspectors were among those killed. The Premier has announced the intention of the Government to insti tute a wholesale crusade against the Anarchists.

DAHOMEY. Despatches from Dahomey state that the French troops, under Colonel Dodd, captured Cana with a loss of eleven men killed and forty wounded. RUSSIA AND TUREEY. St. Petersburg, November 9. The Russian Note to Turkey states that the Government are willing to wait for the public arrears of the Tur kish Avar indemnity, but demand the immediate payment of private claims for compensation. WRECKS IN THE BLACK SEA.

Eight vessels have been wrecked in the Black Sea, and the crews of three of them w©re drowned.

THE MAKIN CASE. A sensation was caused to-day by the discovery of four more bodies of children in the yard of a house pre viously occupied by the Makins. The inquest on the bodies found last week is proceeding under difficulties, the de composed state of the remains render ing it impossible for the medical men to say what was the cause of death. November 10. Makin and his family have resided in a number of premises, which the police are now searching. They are suspected of being connected with the death of a child found recently, making twelve in all Many of the bodies are converted to adipocere, rendering identification impossible. SENTENCED.

KANAKA LABOR.

Melbourne, November 11. At the Presbyterian General Assembly, Rev. Mr McDonald, New Hebridean missionary, admitted there was nothing to complain of in the manner Kanaka recruiting was carried out, or the treatment of the islanders during their service in Queensland. He denied that a visit to Queensland did them any good permanently, and if any mischief was afoot in the islands the returned laborers were generally mixed up with it.

LOANS.

Adelaide, .November 11. An interesting discussion has taken place in the Legislative Assembly as to whether the work of floating the colony's loans, now undertaken by Messrs Glyn, Mills, and Co., bankers, could not be done by the Agent- General, thus effecting a saving to the colony., The Treasurer promised to inquire into the matter.

NEW RAILWAYS.

,x Brisbane, November 11. The Legislative Assembly, by twenty five to five, approved of the construc tion of a large number of railway lines, under the grant system.

"THE LOUD-MOUTHED INDIVI DUAL."

TO THE EDITOR. Sir,-—Referring to your report of the swimming races in last night's issue 1 with many others who were not present had no difficulty in recognising the person referred to &s above. I must congratu late your reporter in having the courage to endeavor to put down a public nuisance. There is no doubt that the gentleman re ferred to richly deserved the remarks made about him, as his attendance at any sort of sports gathering is a source of great annoyance to the better behaved public. I trust your well merited rebuke will have the desired effect.—Yours etc., Citizen.

THE METROPOLITAN SHOW.

The attendance on Thursday was as large as it usually is on the first day of the show, and consisted mainly of exhibitors, judges, stewards, and others having business at the great agricultural gathering. The proportion of visitors from other parts of the colony was unusually large. The arrangements worked exceedingly well, and the judging was, as a rule,*, got through early, the majority of the classes having been adjudicated upon by luncheon time. The entries numbered nearly a couple of hundred le»s thin those of the show of 1891, but there was no perceptible difference in the appearance of the ground, and, as a spectacle, the exhibi tion was as attractive as ever. From an educational point of view, too, this year's show, despite the falling off in entries, was of considerable interest. The sheep section, for instance, "illustrated the attention which is now being paid to breeding for export, to the production of an improved breed of erossbreds for the English frozen meat market. It was in sheep, and especially in merinos, that the principal falling off in entries occurred, the total being about 120 less than at the preceding show. This has been ccounted for by the abolition of the classes for housed and clothed sheep ; by the wet weather, which has prevented many of the sheep from appearing in show condition, and, in the opinion of some persons, by several of the best sheep of the south having been sent away to improve the flocks of the North Island. Cattle were nearly as numerous as at the 1891 shew, and, as a general rule, their quality was good. This could I not be said of the draught horses, for, j though there were some remarkably fine animals on the ground, there were many not by any means up to show standard. That Canterbury may become a first-rate pork producing country was proved by the admirable quality of the pigs ex hibited, though they were much less numerous than those shown last year, Notwithstanding the importance which, thanks to the factory system, the dairying industry is assuming in New Zealand, the display of dairy produce was not very interesting. It might be thought that a great gathering of people from all parts of the Colony, such as that which annually takes place at the Metropolitan Show, would afford one of the finesjfe possible op portunities for advertising 1 the merits of New Zealand manufactures. That, how ever, is evidently not the opinion of many New Zealand manufacturers, for the dis play of specimens of local industry was, I a meagre one, less in numbers thin at the preceding show, and possessing no features of striking interest. The Com mittee has more than once endeavoured to revive the drooping interest in this section, but evidently has not yet hit upon the right method. In marked con tract was the array of machinery, agri cu! i'-al implements and vehicles. The lary .sc display of the kind ever seen on a |how ground in New Zealand, it was of a most interesting character, particularly as illustrating the rapid inultiplicatiqn of labor-saving appliances which is so marked a characteristic of the present age, The collection of miscellaneous objects of interest was as varied and j attractive as ever, The following are winners of champion medals:—Messrs Mallock and Lance, best ram and ewe, fine combing merinos ; Mr F. M, Rickman, best ram j Mr Gideon Rutherford, best ewe strong combing merino ; Hon. M. Holmes, Border Leicester ram, and Lincoln ram and ewe ; MessrsMcKercher Bros., Borde/Leicester ewe ; Mr John Reid, Romney Marsh ram and ewe ; Mr S. Bonifant (Ashburton), best ram ; Messrs Mawson Bros. (Ash burton), best ewe, English Leicester** ; Mr John Deans, Southdown ram and ewe ; Mr S. Gibbs (Woodend) Shropshire ram ; Mr John Grigg (Longbeach), Shrop shire ewe ; Mr H. Hight, beat shorthorn bull; Mr J, Deans, best shorthorn cow ; Mr John Ferguson, best ' fat bullock. Most of the prizes for Ayrshire cattle were 1 taken by the Srjnnyside Asylum, and Mr J John 'Reid, qf EldershV Mr Robert! McAulay's Wallace, of U.amaru,' took the medal for the best' draught entire.' Mr John Shearer (Fiomington) took the medal for the best draught mare. Mr James Rowe took most of the pig prizes, but Mr W, Bramley also t,oc|; several. CHFiS'jpcHUECH, November 11. Rain at Intervals last night gave a poor prospect fcr the success of " People day " i M the Show, Up to. U o'clock tq-clay

matters looked very gloomy, as the clouds were lowering and threatening. The streets were thronged with visitors, and country people pourea in hy trains and traps by thousands. Towards mid day a change of wind cleared the clouds, and there was a general rush for the Show grounds, and there is every prospect of a record attendance. The Governor, Lady Glasgow, and suite were presented with I an address of welcome by Mr Overton, i President of the A. and P. Asssociation, to which his Excellency replied. The party afterwards proceeded on a tour of inspection of the exhibits, and appeared' delighted with the excellence of the Show. His Excellency was also entertained at luncheon.

The Sydenham Licensing Case.

[per press association.]

Christchukch Nov. 10. The following further particulars of the Sydenham licensing case, which is now before the Court of Appeal, will be of use as a reminder of tho circumstances under which the appeal was made. The com mittee was elected pledged to act on pro hibition lines, and close all publichouses in the borough. There were then eight licensed houses in the borough. Before the first meeting of the committee in 1891 an injunction was obtained at the Supreme Court restraining the committee from closing all the houses merely because a majority of the ratepayers desired it, and requiring it to consider the wishes, of the minority desiring to purchase liquor. Acting on this, the committee, m 1890, at the annual meeting closed five houses, but left three open, of which the Lancaster Park Hotel was one. The order restraining the committee after wards came before the Court of Appeal, when it was reversed as premature ; but 1 the court expressed concurrence with Mr Justice Denniston, that the committee ought not to act on the mandate of the majority electing it, but should act judi cially, and consider also the requirements of those desirous to purchase liquor. At the annual meeting in 1892 the com mittee heard evidence and received petitions for and against the re newals of the licenses of the re maining three houses in the borough, including the Lancaster Park Hotel, and decided to close them also. The present proceedings were brought by Mr Thomas Quill, the lessee of the Lancaster Park Motel, and Mr Justice Denniston granted a writ of certiorari on the ground that the committee had been unable to bring a judicial mind to the consideration of the question, and had deeidtjd it on prohibi tion lines and without due consideration of the actual requirements of the district. The present appeal is on the grounds— (1) That the respondent waived Ins right to object to the committee as biassed, by appearing before it and making his appli cation, so that the matter was one within the jurisdiction of the committee; (2) that on the affidavits the committee had to the best of its ability, honafide, honestly and without bias or predetermination dealt with the application. The contention cf counsel for the Com mittee was virtually that the discretion of j the Committee was absolute, while the other side hold that having pledged itself before election to dispense with all the licenses in Sydenham, regardless of the requirements of those who wished to pur chase liquor, the members of the Com mittee were incompetent to sit. Jndgment was reserved.

THE ABHBURT-ON GUARDIAN: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1892.



The number of exhibits afc the Wellington A. and P. Show reaches about 1000, an increase of 100 over last year. The increase is principally in the horse classes. Forty-five unemployed from Dunedin and forty from Oamaru proceed by the Hinemoa on Sunday to road making works at Wilson's river and Waikawa. A Hobarfc telegram dated November 11 says :—" The Tainui, from London via Cape, arrived at five a m. to-day, and sails at two o'clock this afternoon for Wellington. She has seventy-two passengers for Austra lian ports and one hundred and six for New Zealand." , From our own correspondent we received the following telegram from Ohristchurch to-day: — The remains of Mr John T. Matson, jun., were buried at Papanui Churchyard this forenoon. There was an immense assemblage, far beyond the capa city of the church, and no young man was ever followed to the grave by more sincere mourners. The service at the church was choral, and in the chancel and at the grave the coffin was covered with wreaths of flowers. Mourners from all parts of the colony were present and universal sympathy was ex pressed for^the bereaved wife and parents— •'Jack " having endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact, Messrs Colemane and Sons' Eucalypti Extract (manufactured at Mittagong and Cootamunr'.ra, New South Wales) has attained a reputation as a specific for affuc tions of the chest, lungs, consumption, asthma, diphtheria, and a variety of other complaints.

THE " Machine of Steel," would never have been built had McCormick been con tent to stop when their self-binding harvester was considered by thousands to be good enough. "Advance and improvement " the policy of the McConnick Com pany. It is striving at all times to anticipate the wants of the agriculturists, and to make machines for handling grain and grass more perfect than any other machines on the farm. THE FRUIT OF THIS POLICY ' is seen in the immense sale of the McCORMICK. The people of the world demand and will buy the best, even though th'o cheap is offered them at far less price. While McCormick machines are recognised world wide as the best, the Government of the U.S. specifying them as the standard, still at home and abroad, in the competitive field trial with a combined opposition whose cry is " McCormick must not win,' NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN THE McUORMICK IS VICTOR. The aggregate of aH the prizes won by all makes of machine, both home and foreian, do not equal the prizes won by the McCormick.
