Sir Wm. McKinnon, Bart., is dead. It is reported that two hundred deaths occur daily at Mecca from cholera. Owing ta a run on the Californian banks six bank suspensions are announced. Great forest fires are raging in Minnesota. Four townships have been destroyed and several large cities are in danger. A train returning to New York from a race meeting was wrecked, ten passengers being killed and 100 injured. The signal man, who was asleep, has been arrested. M. Turpin states that he has not magnified the capabilities of his machine gun. He considers with improvements a few volleys from it would demolish several army corps. " The Times " states that it ia generally believM that Lord Herschell s Commission on the Indian currency advises that the Indian mints be closed to free coinage, that the silver exchange be fixed at 16s, thus virtually creating a gold standard. MM. Millevoy and Cocarde claim to be in possession of State secrets abstracted from the British Embassy, involving M. Clemen ceau and others, in high treason. The officers of the British Embassy declare that there are no documents missing. The "Sydney Morning Herald," com menting on Lord Glasgow's speech at the opening of the New Zealand Parliament, says the change that has taken place in the condition of the country is a monument to the noble spirit in which tne people of New Zealand set themselves to battle with their difficulties. During a panic in a church near Moscow, 136 men and women were suffocated to dtath on a staircase behind a fastened door. Twenty of the congregation were trampled to death, while a number of others were killed by jumping from the galleries. The panic was caused by thieves raising a cry.of fire in order to cover their operations. , M. Millevoye created a scene in the French Chamber of Deputies by declaring that Great Britain had bribed M. Olemenceau to advocate the conces ion of Corsica. The majority of the Chamber condemned the odious calumny, and this is regarded as a victory for M* Clemenceau. M.M. Mille voye aud Derouledge have resigned their seats in the Chamber. Mr Reid declines to participate in Mr Barton's scheme for the establishment of an Australian Federation League. He con siders there can be no full development of the subject until the Commonwealth Bill has be n discussed in Parliament, and suggests either that a special session be held or that Parliament meet earlier than usual to deal with the question. While he is desirous of promoting federation, his first task will be to advance freetrade.

CRICKET.

AUSTRALIANS v. KISNT.

London, June 22. Fine wea'her was expertenced for the opening day of the match Australians v Kent, but the wicket was rather bumpy. There was a good attendance. The prin cipal scorers in the Australian first inning* were Bannerman 10, Bruce 77, Gregory 59, and W. Giffeu 24. A, Hearne took six wickets for 49, and Wright three for 72. The innings of Bruce and Gregory was a splendid dis play of batting. Kent in their first innings have lost eight wickets for 97. A. Hearie 18, and Weigall 20 were the leading scores. The batting of the Eng lishmen was poor and the bowling of Trumble apparently puzzled the majority. The fielding on either side was inferior, (Received June 23, 1159 a.m.) LoNfcON, June 23.

FEARFUL CALAMITY.

FOUNDERING OF A BRITISH WARSHIP.

ADMIRAL TRYON DROWNED WITH 430 MEN.

[per press association.

(Received June 24, 10.30 a.m.)

Lohdon, June 23. News has just been received here of a fearful calamity in the Mediterranean. H.M.S. Victoria, 10,470 tons, 15 guns flagship of the Mediterranean squadron foundered with the loss of four hun dred lives. Amongst those drowned is Admiral Sir George Tryon, formerly on the Australian station. (Received June 24, 11.15 a.m.) London, June 22f. Whilst the vessels of the Mediter ranean squadron were manoeuvring off Tripoli yesterday afternoon, the iron clad Camperdown, a ship of 10,000 tons, rammed the Victoria just for ward of the starboard turret The latter went down with appalling rapidity in eighty fathoms of water. She appeared to sink bottom upwards, and in fifteen minutes was out of sight. The Oamperdown herself was seriously injured. There were 660 men onboard the flagship, of whom 256 were saved. The survivors were sent to Malta. The following were among those drowned :—Vice-Admiral Sir George Tryon, X.0.8., and his clerk, Allen ; Lieutenant Muuro ', Chaplain tho Rev. S. S. O. Morris; Fleet - Engineer, Felix ; Foremen Engineers—Harding, Deadman, Sea ton, Hatherley ; Gunner H6well ; Boatswain Barnard ; Carpenter Beall; Midshipmen—Leslie, Inglis, Grieve, Ascough, Fawkes, Lanyou, Healey, Gambier, Scarlett; Naval Cadet Stoaks ; Assistant Clerk Savage; Fleet Paymaster Valentine D. J. Bickcard. The names of those saved are not yet known. Owing to the lamentable catastrophe Her Majesty has post poned the State ball. The Premier referred to the calamity in the House of Commons to-day. He was deeply moved, and his words were listened to in deathlike stillness, as he described the disaster. He felt certain the deepest sympathy would be excited for the unhappy fate of this band of brave men, who had gone to an early grave amid circumstances of peace, from which the pomp and splendour of war were absnt. He added there were 718 aboard, of who 611 were officers and seamen and 107 marines. Four hundred and thirty were believed to ba drowned, and the Premier paid a high tribute to the capacity and services of Admiral Tryon. When the news of the dis aster became known the relatives of those serving on the Victoria be sieged the Admiralty and many heart rending scenes occurred. (Received June 24, nocn.) London. June 23. Captain- the Hon. Maurice A. Bourke, and Commander Charles L. Ottley were saved. Admiral Tryon refused to leave his ship and went down with her. j

Parliamentary Notes.

(FROM OVTt OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, June 23.

The absorbing topic of conversation in the lobbies to-day has been the political libel action at Napier, and thera is evi dently an uneasy feeling in the Minisv terial party as to its outcome. The fact that the jury had ac the time of writing been unable to come to a decision after several hours" retirement is nob viewed with marked favor by Mr Cadman's friends, who at the outset of the writ were sanguine as to the ultimate issue. Government are understood to have decided that the Hon W. P. Reeves, Messrs Sandford and Taylor s^all be the Ministerial candidat s for Christchurch at the general election. The new membar of the executive has not yet been decided on, but I incline to the beliet that it will be either the Hon. W. Montgomery or Hon. W. McCullough. The first intelligence of the recent libel action was'contained in a telegram by the Hon Mr McCullough from Mr Cadman, who claimed to have been vindicated on all points, and members quietly formed themselves into knots to discuss the matter. The general opinion appeared to be that the jury considered that " techni cal " libel had been committed, and found accordingly. Staunch Ministerialists held that Mr Cadman's actions as a member of the Government was fully justified, and that Mr Rees must retire from his posi tion as Chairman of Committees, while 1 defendant's friends and members of the Opposition were quite pleased with the result of the trial, and emphatically pro tested that Mr Ca_dman's sense of honor ■ must ensure his retirement of the Minis try. It will be interesting to watch the developments of the matter before Par liament reassembles on Tuesday. In any case, more of this unpleasant business is sure to be heard on the floor of the House. Wellington, June 24. THE NEW " HALF-HOLIDAY BILL." Owing to the unworkableness of the present Shops and Shop Assistants Act, it is proposed to replace it this session by a Shop Hours Bill. This measure, instead of allowing the local body to fix a day on which the shops in any given district shall close, the minister has appointed Saturday for a com pulsory half holiday ; but in any case, where that day may cause undua incon venience, it will be possible to choose another day. The exception in favor of chemists, hairdressers, and tobacconists, is to be removed. PAYMENT OF MEMBERS. The Payment of Members Bill, of which the Treasurer has chaige, merely provides for the formal amending of the existing Act, by entitling members to draw their month's honorarium from the date of their election, and not from the time they are sworn. CADMAN-REES LIBEL. ' The outcomj of the libel action en grosses all attention in the lobbies. Mr Cadman is expected in Wellington to night, and lo is presumed that he will ask to De relieved from office. In the event of his resignation a new departure may take phce with regard to tho Native Minister, by conferring this portfolio for tttf first lime on a South Island member.

Mr Francis Arenas, who iB Consular- Agent at Cnristchurch for Spain, has received a telegram from Newcastle, New South Wales, intimatiDg that the Nautilus, a Spanish man-of-war, would call atLyttelton whilst in New Zealand waters. The Nautilus has a large number of naval cadets on board, young men belonging to some of the best Spanish families, who are learning naviga tion practically by a trip round the world. The Nautilus visits Wellington first. The civil action, D. H. Brown v J. Jack son, for £250 and interest, was at the late Timaru civil sittings of the Supreme Court referred by consent of the parties to arbitra tion, the arbitrators being Messrs G. T. Booth, of Christchurch, and H. J. LeCren, of Timaru, with Mr C. A. Wray, R.M., as umpire. The case was heard in Timaru on the 14th and 16th instant, Mr J. A. Caygill appearing for the plaintiff and Mr J. W. White for the defendant. The arbitrators have now made their award, finding in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed.

SANDER ANff SONS' 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 Our Pure Volatile Enca* lypti Extracts 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, 18 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 nre 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 fci these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to 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 classes 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 : , 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. g. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannatte*. If these crude oils, or so called eucalypt extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and eliable preparation—Sandhurst, Victoria, rnstralia.—Sander and Sons COLBMANB AND SONS EUCALYPTE Ex tbact is the only genuine in the market, and was a warded medals and diplomas at Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, beating aU competitors.

-: Crossbred Wheats. :- MESSRS JAMES CARTER & CO, of London, in 1882 commenced a course of experiment* in the croas-fertiU*, hon of WHEATS of various kinds. It is well known that almoit acy variation of quality, character, form and colom can to developed in Flowers and Vegetables by cross breeding, and fixed permanently by selection. Also in the shape of larnips *U Carrots and other roots, including iv the oase of Wheat, square or pointed ears, large or BinaJl grain, long or short straw or almost •» special quality that may be desired. With well selected parents crossbreeding imparts increased vigor in plants as well aa in animala. and Wheat, being a eeif-fertilizing plant which is bred in-and-m year after year for generations, as is the cat* with moat of our Whs**! Crossing should have the effect of producing more vigorous and producsivfl varieties. This seems to have beeu confirmed by MttMV Carters experiments, who, after several years careful selections of the strains produced by crossing ware successful in fixittc tto characterises of not less than 11 varieties of new Wheats, which they distributed in 1889 at necessarily f»ncr prices The farmers of this district may be congratulated on the fact that they can now obtain some of the best of these varieties froa tsW undersigned. A full selection of the eleven sorts were obtained in 1890 by them and given to MR T. SEALY of Riverbank to experiment with. The following year another district was chosen, and after very careful observation, discarded six out of the atom ' as unprofitable. They then last year distributed the remaining five selections anong farmers in different parts of this Oountrmt were rewarded by excellent yields, this in the face of the very trying season they had to contend with. As may be •apposea* ifcft varieties differ greatly in length and colour or straw, shape of ear», oolour and size oi grain, period of ripening, eta. ForinsUooei Sbliction F is the earliest ripening Wheat in cultivation, and should prove a great acquisition in the discriot towards the Hill, and Z, the South, where an early wheat is indispensable. Another variety, Sbmctiok G, produces straw of a short, stout description' whlab cannot be laid by rain or wind. This should be invaluable for sowing on moist land, which in the ordinary varieties of Wheat niodaaZ long straw, likely to be damaged by wiad and raia'. Other sorts, as Selection I, is pwctically unassailable by Birds so that shasdJ these sorts come largely into cultivation our feathered tribes will not be able to levy their usual toll on the farmers' oron Soma ~rifc_ has said there can be no best Wheat for all districts, but only for particular situations, soils, and climates which the'rarionV JItoS Wheat are naturally adapted to. We would recommend our friends to obtain a suficient quantity of seed of these Hybrid WhLbTT^I test the capabilities of them on their own land. This would undoubtedly lead to far-reaching results by bringing into general cnwllS! vanehes of Wheat suited to the various soils of the district, of high quality, hardy, and robust in constitution, and a pro^ohanSST The following will describe the five varieties we have to offer :•— SELECTION I—A bearded wheat, prolific. It seems of the variety to sow late and harvest early. Straw medium leneth II headed. Valuable for late Spring sowing. ' ™g* » WMI SELECTION F—An early ripeoing Wheat, even when bowu late. Straw, medium length ; very long headed ; a valuable Wheat The chaff is furnished with stiff awns wWch seem to keep off birds and protect it also from wind Bird*** Wind-proof Wheat. SELECTION G—Straw, short and strong, not likely to be laid by wind or rain; heavy-headed and very prolific. Should pror* invaluable on lands which produce in the ordinary sorts straw so long as to be damaged by bad weath.r Thta is the "Tom Thumb "of the wheat family. SELECTION D—Straw, medium length, Btrong, half-dropping habit; very well headed; rery pi oductive, and hkoly to prove* valuable Wheat for general purposes. SELECTION B-—Straw, very long, strong, and white ; ear a fair length, thick set; a rery productive Wheat. For Further Particui,ars, Apply to FRIEDLANDER BROS.
