IMPERIAL FEDERATION.

London, .January 11. In the discussion on Mr Labilliere's paper at the Colonial Institute, the Marquis of Lome said that he thought it would be better if the Agents- General were to constitute the elements of an Imperial Council. He did nofc expect, however, that the federation of the Empire would be realised till after the Australian States had federated. Sir Lyon Playfair said that in the event of war the colonies would be helpless. Clouds were already loom ing in the distance, and it was essen tial to unite for the defence of the Empire. Professor Bryce said that he hoped it did not require a war to secure the federation of the Empire. He trusted that they would agree on a scheme, and thus maintain the noblest political fabric in the world.

LABOR MATTERS.

The Miners' Conference passed a vote for farther legislation on the Eight Hours question, and also the establishment of a Minister of Mines. The Durham miners opposed the former proposal. It was stated that 270,000 members of the Miners' Federation of Great Britain demanded that the Eight Hours Bill should be passed by the legislature.

THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

Paris. January 11. The object of the Ministerial crisis is to' get rid of M. tie Freycinet on account of his supposed connection with the Panama scandals. The " Journal dcs Debats " approves of the action of M, Ribot, the Premier, in breaking the bond attaching the Ministry to the Radical party. There is no proof th*t M. Freycinet was implicated in the Panama Canal frauds, but as Minister of War he was more popular with the array then President Carnot or M. Ribot liked. France has intimated to the Bank of England to prepare for the withdrawal cf the credit balance in case of emergency. Berlin, January 11. The Emperor of Germany has sum moned his Ministers to report on the political situation. Patus. January 12.

THE PANAMA SCANDALS.

M. Eiffel admits having received 33,000,000 francs for contracts, and of that amount he only spent 5,000,000 francs on the works, keeping the balance for himself. i It is reported that M. Freycinet has ', confessed ta receiving 2,000,000 francs from the Panama Canal Company for secret purposes. The Panama Canal revelations are weakening the closely cordial relations which have lately existed between France and Russia.

POLITICAL FFGHT IN CHURCH.

Since Mr Cleveland's election to the Presidency, two families in Indiana, named Swinford and Lawson, have been on hostile terms, and the outcome of the enmity was a terrible scene in the church which the two families at tended. At the conclusion of the service a fight took place, the members of each family using their revolvers, with the result that one person on each side was killed and a total of seven were wounded. When the firing began, a panic seized the congregation, and eventually the remaining members of the Lawson family beat a retreat from the building.

MAGISTERIAL.

AS 1 BURTON -FBI DAY .

(Before Major Steward and Mr D. Thomas, J.s P.)

Drunkenness.—John Williams pleadtd guilty to druuken and disorderly beha vioiu- the previous day. As this was his second offence within six months he was i lined £1 nr three days in gaoL A first: offender was fined 5s or twenty four hours in gaol. George Thompson, au old offender, his second offence wnhin six months, was dealt with in the same w.ty as VVi]]i ams> .Assault.—Samuel Elliott was charged with having assaulted. Charles Giesler with a bale hook.—Mr Outhbertsun ap peared for f- Hint, and pleaded guilty, but the Bench decided to hear the evidence. Complainant said he and defendant were engaged in stacking wool at Mr Restell's store the previous day Defendant asked witness to bring him a shilling's woi th of beer, which witness refused to do. De fendant used abusive language towards him, and without any provocation what ever attacked and assaulted him with a bale hook, tearing his head and face. Elliott said in doing aj that he would teach witness to try co work him out of a billet. In cross-examination witness ad mitted that he had on one occasion while intoxicated assa-ilted a man, but he was not aware that Elliott was present on the occasion. The present assault took place at four o'clock, but there had been words between them mora or less since one o'clock.—Stephen Woodward, foieman at the store, gave evidence as to the assault. Could n •>*, s?\y that Giesl«i* v,as struck with a hook or v'fch hare fists. Both men were sober. Sent Elliot away, but Gies lor lefo of his own accord. The whole thing did not last more than a few second-.—Elliott asked to be sworn, and said that there had been bad feeling between Giesler and him because witness had interfered on one occasion when Giesler was assaulting a smaller man than himself. Giesler had been trying to in jure him with the foreman of the store, and witness refused to work with him. Had a sack harrow in his hands, when Giesler ptisaulced him first, and had not a bale hook. Uiesler had a hook, and when witness struck him it; was when Giesler had -seized him and torn his clothes ; struck Giesler with his fists, not with a bale hook.—Mr Kestell explained that Elliott was not in his eaiploy, but had been engaged for an hour or two by the foreman because cxt-ii help was wanted. Giealcr was a permanent hand. —Mr Oathbertson pleaded that his client was a hard working man, but very hot tempered when intoxicated, and any punishmont inflicted upon him would be a punishment) on his wife and children. He asked the Bbnch to take the most lenient view of thg case they could. —The Bench said the record of Elliott in Court was quite enough to hare taught him that a hot tempered man ought not to indulge in drink, and this was evidently at the bottom of the whole thing. Yet knowing what he had been guilty of when under liquor he had been attempting to get the nun he had assaulted to procure more- The charge was a serious one aud deseivad a serious punishment. To fine him would ' be only punishing his wife and children, and taking a lenient view of the case in their interest, Elliott would be sent to gaol wirh hard labor for seven days.
