Replying to a question in the Cham ber of Deputies, Admiral Briu, Minis ter of Foreign Affairs and Marine, said it was unlikely the Australian Cabinets would listen to the demands of the Unions in regard to legislation which was hostile to Italian workmen in the colonies, and added that if occasion arose Italy would endeavor to assert her rights in the matter.

THE PANAMA SCANDALS.

Paris, March 12, At the Panama Canal enquiry Madame Oottu stated that the Govern ment were alarmed at the widespread effects of the trial, and had attempted to purchase the silence of the directors by promising to put a stop to the pro ceedings. They also endeavoured to obtain documents containing damaging evidence against deputies of the Right. The latter charge was virtually ad mitted. s

A Victimised Hotelkeeper

"Spielers," cracksmen, and pick pockets are repotted to be numerous in Auckland at present, but so far the police have not been nble to detect any of the light-fingered fraternity. The "Star" reports:-One of the latest ex ploits of these birds of passage was the victimising of a well-known Auckland hotelkeeper in an audaciously cool man ner. Two outwardly respectable young men, dressed in the height of fashion, and of apparsntly exceptionally "high bred manners, took up their abode in an Auckland hotel about a month ago, and lived on the fat; of the land while they were there—roast turkey, champagne, and cigars ad lib— but did not pay a penry for board and lodging. At last the} casually mentioned to the landlord that they intended leaving by the San Francisco mail steamer which was to leave Auckland on the following day. The boniface thereupon asked them to settle up, and on one of the men pro ducing a cheque and filling it in, the hotelkeeper demurred, raying that *it was not usual to accept cheques where he was not quite sure of the money. Upon this the tfwo lodgers conducted him across to a chemist's shop, stating that the proprietor would at once cash their cheque when presented to him. One of them went inside - the other re maining outside witfl the landlord—snd explained to him that he had a friend out side who was ill. but who did not like to come in, and asked him (the chemist} to go out and tell him that it would be all right if he would come dswn to the shop on ,the following Monday morning. This the chemist did, and the boniface retired, quite satisfied. Next day the two jokers left in great style by the mail steamer, boniface seeing them off after " shouting" them a couple of bottles of "fizz "as a token of goodwill. The sequel which re sulted when the hotelkeeper visited the chemist again may be imagined. Need less to say, the cheque was merely waste paper.

A special meeting of the Ashburton County Council, to consider the Wakanui Creek question was held to-day. It was decided to take over the creek under the Water Supply Act 1891. Report is held over.

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for OurPureVolatile JEuca lypfci Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state: — It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Sander and Sons* Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and tc Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles ' and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible : 1, By their deficiency in pungent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2, By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 3, By their taste, the result ot the contracting tendency of resins and tannatep, If these crude oib, or so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptherh, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc.Jthe consequences are most appalling. Vov safety sake ask always for £s«n«ier and SoiiH 1 Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and reliable preparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Au*Ua,Uu.-~R*ttua©r awd Sou*.
