The Customs Revenue.

(per press association.)

Wellington, July 1. The Customs revenue collected in New Zealand last month amounted to L 115,033 168 2d, the estimate being L 131,250. In the previous month the collections amounted to L 130,821 9s. The total for the first quarter of the present financial year is L377,51112s 7d—or L 16.238 7s 5d less than the estimate for last month. Dunedin contributed L 28,972 18s Bd, Wellington L 24.870 17a lid, Auckland L 24,205 12s, Lyttelton and Christchurch, L 16.666 14s 9d. The Postmaster-General states that the actual saving as bdtween the cose of pur chasing and fitting up the Tsrranora, and the probable cost of using one of the Eastern Extension C »mpany's steamers, has been between 1-6000 and L7OOO, while the cable has been righted at least twenty days sooner than tho very shortest time that wo'ild have been possible under the old sj stein. There is of course «he further advantage that the colony now has its own repairing steamer on the spot to make good any future breakages. The" beer duty for the month was L 4169, of wh'ch Auckland contributed L 937, Wellington L 509, Christchurch L 785, Dunedin L 970. For the quarter the total is L 13,426.

KANAKA LABOR.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Sydney, July 1. The Presbyterian Hebridean Mission Synod, consisting of seventeen Euro pean missionaries, have met and decided to forward a protest to Lord Knutsfoud against the resumption of the Kanaka labor traffic, on the ground that while j not disputing the contention that cheap labor is a necessity for the sugar in dustry of Queensland, knowledge in possession of the Synod leads it to affirm that the traffic cannot be carried on with justice to the natives or honor j to the British nation. Despite the pledges as to regulations, etc , given by ! Queensland, the absence of a civilise i Government to protect the interests of the natives makes recruiting without abuse an impossibility. The deporta tion of young able-bodied natives pre vents the development of industry, and hinders the advancement of civilisation and of Christianity, and is a powerful factor in the depopulation of the Islands. The practice of making large presents to natives recruiting is uni versally regarded by them as purchase mbrieyli'aricl the traffic in nuuaan beinga is havibg a demoralising etfec.tl' ° .

Mr R. Reeves charged Mr Buckland with branding three fourths of tne people of ih 3 colony with perjury, and said " he ought to be ashamed of himself." Peals o f laughter followed, and the Speaker asked "Did the hon gentleman say the other hon gentleman ought to be ashamed?" *'No," replied Mr Reeves, amid renewed laughter, *' but I thought so." The matter dropped. THE ELECTORAL BILL. There is a remarkable unanimity in the House on the general principles of the Electoral BiU. Mr Rolleston and Mr Fish gave ie handsome support, but both objected to female suffrage as not de manded, and denounced the one month's residential clause as liable to c abused. They urged that Government might cart employees about like oxen from plane to place to every election in doubtful dis tricts., Mr Duthie threw out a very sensible suggestion, approved by both sides of the House, that electoral pro cedure should be simplified, instancing [Mr Mac Arthur's constituency, which, by his death, was still left unrepresented. woman's suffrage. Sir John Hall mi»de a highly effective speech in the coursa of which he earnestly advocated Female Suffrage, saying that he waß careless whether it was carried by Government or by himself, so that the object was attained. He spoke very strongly on behalf of minorities, which were as yet unrepresented. He justified the Hare system, which he considered particularly adapted co New Zealand.

The General Election at Home.

(rBK FBESa ASSOCIATION)

London, June 301 The Irish National League of Great Britain warns liberal candidates that nothing short, of legislative automony, on the terms demanded by Mr Parnell in July last, will satisfy Ireland. Mr Gladstone had a succession of ovations at various railway stations on his way from Hawarden to Edinburgh. He delivered several brief speeches, and in each expressed himself sanguine that he would score a victory at the elections. Oh his arrival at Edinburgh he was accorded a most enthusiastic | welcome. Mr Gladstone has opened his Mid lothian campaign. He claims that the prospect of success is brilliant, and hears only the voice of hope and courage. He told his hearers that this would be the last occasion on which he would have to solicit their votes. His meetings are attended by crowds of enthusiastic supporters. The Liberals everywhere profess confidence in the xasulfc. If they succeed, it is stated the Marquis of Ribon will be Viceroy of India, and Lord Rosebery Minister for Foreign affairs. It is expected that twenty-eight Tories, eight Unionists, and fifteen Liberals will be unopposed. Both parties are busy raising funds to prosecute the cam paign and peeresses are openly ongaged canvassing. The Duke of Norfolk, head of the Roman Catholic peers, asserts that autonomy will be merely a pretended boon to the men who defied the Pope. Sir J. Gorst has been returned unopposed. Arshbishop Walsh has addressed a letter to the Irish clergy, directing them not to meddle A'ith the voting. The Parnellities rushed the hall in "Dublin where the other party was holding a meeting, and took possession of it. They severely treated their opponents, and in the confusion I)r Tanner was robbed. The police were compelled to protect the weaker side with drawn swords. London, July 1 In his speech at Edinburgh Mr Glad stone said that none of the provisions of the Home Rule Bill of 1886 would be retracted, and the retention of the Irish members at Westminister would be added. The supremacy of the Imperial Parliament over an Irish Parliament would resemble that of the autonomy of the colonies. He thought that it was hardly likely that it would have to be exercised since it was monstrous to suppose that Canada and .Australia would practice an injustice against a minority and there was still less likelihood in Ireland. The Go vernment would have to decide in a practical spirit whether it would be better to retain all or part of the Irish members ; whether they should vote on all home subjects, or whether some members should sit both in Dublin and London. The press complains that Mr Glad stone's speech reveals nothing.

Congress of Chambers of Commerce.

I'EK PEiSSS ASSOCIATION]

T/ONDOif, June 29.. The Congress, voting by c^araberff, anc| jiot qoijnt^n^ tjele^ateii, was §£j to $3 against 0- Tapper's ain.endifl.ent; in. favor of preferential duties, Mr Medley's original motion, aimed against preferential duties, was carried by 47 to 34. Mr Dibbs spoke in favor of a motion for the creation of Boards of Concilia tion to deal with labor disputes. The Trades Unions of the colonies em braced the most intelligent of the artisans, and it would, be ft great mis take oa the part of capital not to trust them. He was pleased to' say there were 36 labor members in the' Parlia ment of New South Wales, and that their assistance had been given to ' effect the object of the motion r Lord Brasfey Agreed that it would be* foolish of employers not tq recognise the. unions. The mo.^ioii Ayas carried, as wa§ alsq a resp,lufc|on in favor o| codifying the eomm.ercial l^w, Mr Clarke, of Auckland, moved^ in favor o! reforming bills of lading, Canterbury Chamber's resolution on the same subject waa withdrawn. Most of the speakers were in fav6r of a conference between shipping people ami merchants for the purpos.o o.| ingV $$$, ViH' Of' ''tVdingj which sliould be acceptable to both. The discussion was adjourned. The Townsville (Queensland) and Hobart Chambers supported Sir C. Tupper; the Auckland and QatitprMiry Qha*jib,er3 iiemained. neutral/ Brisbane did'iiot vote;';anii'l;lie other colonial Chambers opposed' the amendment. Mir' Gjr^^tn, of Cafifavhwy^ moved to etjuali^e the duties throughout th,e

| Empire, but the motion was rejected. It was resolved that it is desirable that the Merchandise Alaiks Act should be universally appiied to the colonies. London, June 30. Mr McMillan, ex-Colonial Treasurer of New South Wales, opposed Sir C. Tupper's amendment at the Chambers of Commerce Conference. He de-1 clared that next election would show that New Soutli Wales was in favor of freetrade. Sir 0. Tupper's proposal was impracticable and a pettifogging commercial union was impossible un less based on freetrade. Mr Huddart argued that 64 per cent of the Aus tralasian external trade in 1889 was transacted within the bounds of the British Empire. England's share had increased slightly in the last thirty years. Sir O. Tupper ought to show that preferential rates would produce a better result than this. Sir O. Tupper and Sir J. Lubbock vigorously supported the amendment, which was lost by 79 to 34. Sir C. Tupper challenged his opponents to allow another vote to be taken in the morning.
