Frozen Mutton for India.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. (Received lugusfc 25, 10.40 a.m.) London, August 24. General Newmarck has promised Mr J. H. Geddes, manager of the Pastoral Financial Association of New South Wales, every assistance in supplying Indian troops with frozen mutton from the colonies. Mr Geddes has, with the assistance of Messrs Daugar and Grant, completed a scheme, the substance of which was cabled last month, respect ing the European Company's powerful directorate being appointed, and ship owners are taking shares. An agree ment with the shipping companies provides for the necessity for different though uniform temperatures for frozen meat and butter. Mr Geddes considers that though the United States and the Argentine Republic are formidable rivals, if Victoria and New South Wales imitate Qeensland in their sup port accorded to refrigerating works, the scheme ia sure to be successful.

Probabale Fatality Averted.

What might have proved a most serious matter had it remained undis covered until the vessel had proceeded to sea, was brought to light on board the Hood, armoured battleship, Cap tain Jeffreys, which left Chatham on June 11, on her way to the Medi terranean. The vessel had made a final trial of her engines in the repair ing basin, and on an inspection of her double bottom being made by the officers of the ship it was found that the fore compartments were full, and that she was still leaking. The inci dent caused no little excitement among the crew, who numbered close Upon 700: The matter was reported to the officials at the dockyard, and it * was deemed advisable to dock the vessel at once, as the cause of the leakage was not perceptible. She was docked in the afternoon, and as soon as the water was pumped opt of the dock the bottom of the vessel was examined It was found that the leakage had occurred from an opening in the seams of two of the keel plates a few feet from the stem of the vessel. The leakage, it is reported, was due to a piece of bad workmanship on the part of an individual workman. When the vessel was last docked, a little; more-weightrthan should have been was thrown upon her stem, and this caused her plates to start, and the little opening that might have been caused was widened by the steam trial: but there is said to be not the least doubt the mishap would not have happened had the work been originally carried out properly. Instead of this, the rivets which should have been driven right through and fastened on the other side, had been driven only partly home, and the hole on the other side filled by what is known as a " stud " —an imitation of the rivet head—so that the plates had no hold ing powers when the slightest strain was upon them.

CABLE SUMMARY.

Siam has paid France 3,000,000 francs (£120,000) indemnity. The U.S. Senate have appointed Mr Bland, chairman of the Coinage Com mittee. The "Financial Times" thinks that the prosecution oi Sir Matthew Davies will be only a sham. The French have occupied Ohanta ban, though it is not included in the ultimatum accepted by Siam. A Capetown cable says:—Strong bodies of natives are threatening Fort Victoria both from the east and west. Thirteen hundred Boards of Trade in the cities of the United States are in favour of the repeal of the Sherman Act. Mr Randolph Want is now in London engaged in promoting the establishment of colonial stores, for the sale of meat and wine direct to qon sumers. 1 The Duke of Edinburgh took the oath of accession as Duke of Saxe- Coburg and Gotha, in the presence of the Gerrfan Emperor. It is under stood that the Duke of Edinburgh will resign the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha to his sqn. The Hon. St. John Brodrick, M.P., was horsewhipped in a street at the West End of London by an ex employee of the War Office, on the ground that he had been unjustly treated by the hte Government!

Sir Robert Looks Ahead.

The Parliamentary correspondent of the"Otago Daily Times," wjring on Thursday morning, says :—As I write at 1.30 a.m., the night's work is draw ing apparently to a close, for the divi sion bell is now ringing for the division on the last subsection of clause 15, and presently they will get to pass the whole clause, which is the crux of the measure. The feature of the night's work is the defeat, almost amounting to a rout, of th 3 prohibition party, and the strong, vigorous, and uncompromis ing attitude of Sir Robert Stout to ward the Government and their mea sure. Jn truth he has been aggressive to a degree that has apparently offended almost all of those of the temperance party who followed him upon the second reading of his own Bill. I say apparently advisedly, for I think the knight knew what might come, and laid his plans accordingly. Then there c»n be no doubt the Government have strained every nerve to compel alle giance upon this occasion, and they have succeeded. The tactics of Sir R. Stout to-night point unmistakably to a determination on his part that the country shall at the proper time know how far the votes of these hon gentle men are od all fours with their pledges to their constituents, and particularly to the prohibition parties. Time after time, with clear and forceful iteration, he declared that his desire was "to trust the people," and this was not the desire of the Government. Amend ment after amendment, division after division did he make and take until it began to be a perfect weariness to his most faithful adherents. But there was, I think, a method in his seeming madness. He knew and felt his chance was hopeless in the House, and he, by speech and division, appealed not to the assembly before him, but to the country behind it—to the constituents, when the time comes, he will say, "I asked the last Parliament to trust the people, and they refused. Now these are the men in these division lists who so refused and broke their pledges to the country."

Mr D. Thomas was voted to the ehuir A letter was read from the Domain Board in answer to a deputation from the cricket clubs, stating that the Board had no power to give to any one club the control of tha ground, but suggested the formation of an association of athletic clubs, to which the management could be entrusted legally from year to year. Mr A. Harrison wrote, for the Ash burton Swimming Club, stating that his Club did not consider a caretaker would be of any service to that Club. Mr Cuthbertson moved—" That the representatives of the Clubs present form them 3elves into an AssocivJon with power to include other Clubs, to be called the Ashburton Athletic Association, for the purpose of taking over the control of the sports ground from ihe Domain Board." "'ihat the delegates present be a provisional committee for the pur pose of arranging terms with the Council, i and report at an adjourned meeting." These resolutions were seconded by Mr Fooks, and carried. • Mr Denby moved "That the Asso ciafcion off or the Domain Board an annual rental of £00, for the sports grounds, undertaking the maintenance and im provement of the grounds free of cost to the Board, and to have the right of eight close days in the year ; other terms and conditions ©f le»se to be approved by the Board ana the Association."
