The Late Mr Ballance.

THE NEW CABINET.

(per press association.)

Wellington, May 1. •* Gazette " extraordinary, issued to night, contains a notification of the ac ceptance by His Excellencj the Governor of the resignation of Ministers, and also announces that the Governor has this day appointed the Hon Messrs Seddon, Beeves, McKenzie, Ward, Caiman, Carroll, and Sir Patrick Buckley members of the Executive Council of JSew Zealand, and that these gentlemen have taken the oaths of office accordingly. The following is the new Cabinet:— Hon It. J. Seddon—Premier, Minister for Public Works, Minister for Mines, and Minister for Defence ; Hon Sir P. A. Buckley, C.M.G. —Attorney-General, Colonial Secretary, and Minister for Marine ; Hon W. P. Beeves—Minister for Education, Commissioner of Stamps, and Minister of Labour; Hon J. McKenzie—Minister for Lands and Immi gration, Minister for Agriculture and Commissioner of Forests; Hon J. G. Ward—Colonial Treasurer, Postmaster- General, Electric Telegraph Commissioner, and Commissioner of Customs ; Hon A. J. Cadrnan—Minister of Justice ; Hon J. Carroll—(without portfolio) representing native race. It will be seen that the new Ministry consists entirely of the remain ing members of the Ballance Cabinet. The principal changes of office, outside . the accession to the Premiership of the Hon R, J. Seddon, have been the transfer to the Hon Mr Ward of Colonial Treasurer and Commissioner of Customs, and the passing of the Marine Depirlnisnt from the new Premier to the Hon Sir P. A. Buckley. Mr Seddon, after fully con sidering the situation with his colleagues, has undertaken to carry on the adminis tration on similar lines of policy to those followed by Mr Ballance. The Ministry will call a meeting of tha Liberal party at the opening of the session, when the party will be asked to determine as to whether the present arrangements shall continue. Sir B. Stout has consented to stand for Inaugahua on condition that he is not re quired to visit the district or iacur ex pense. • The " Post" states that Mr Thompson, of Auckland, is likely to be offered the portfolio of Minister for Public Works,

Wellington, May 1. The " Post," which is an authority on Masonic matters, gives the following ex planation of the way in which the late Premier came to be buried under the Masonic ritual. Mr Ballance was formerly Worshipful Master of St Andrews Kil winning Lodge, then working under the Scotch Constitution. When Sir Robert Stout established a lodge in the colony under the Grand "Orient of France, Mr Ballance joined it, and so cut. himself off from Freemasonry as recognistd by the Scotch Constitution or the New Zealand Constitution, to which the St Andrews Lodge transferred its allegiance, Prior to the operation being performed, Mr Ballance expressed a wish to Mr Seddon, who is also a Mason, to be buried accord ing to the Masonic form by his old lodge, should the operation terminate fatally. At similar wish was expressed to his wife. On this being represented to the Grand Lodge, the M.W. Grand Master granted a dispensation to enable St, Andrews Kiiwinning Lodge to comply with Mr Ballanee's wish. Tha D.Gr. Lodge of Wellington, K.C., also granted a dispensa tion to enable its Lodges to take part in the ceremony, and the P.G.M. of the North Island, S.C., Bro McCullough, was among the brethren present at the grave.

Auckland, May 1. At a meeting of the Auckland Liberal Association to night it was resolved to call on kindred societies to join in an endea vor to raise a fitting memorial to the late Mr Ballance. A resolution was also passed expressing pleasure that Mr Sed don had been called to form a Ministry. Wellington, May 1. At a meeting of the City Council to night the following resolutions ■ were carried :—" That the citizens of Welling ton deeply and sincerely regret the death of the Hon Mr Ballance, and remember with gratitude his many years of service to the people of the colony. The Coun cil requests that this resolution be re corded in its minutes, and that a copy thereof be forwarded to Mrs Ballance with an expression of the respectful sym pathy of the Council and the citizens of Wellington in her bereavement." A special meeting of the Trades and Labor Council was held to-night for the purpose of considering a proposal to can vass';for subscriptions to defray the cost of a lasting tribute to the late Premier. There was a large attendance of members. The President moved—" That steps be immediately taken to raise subscriptions publicly for the purpose of establishing a lasting tribute to the memory of the late Premier," The Hon W. P. Reeves in seconding the motion said he hoped that tha Council would take the matter up in an energetic manner, and suggested that all local bodies and organisations of every kind should be asked to subscribe. The resolution was carried unanimously, and all arrangements were made for carrying the proposal to a successful issue. It was decided that the money raised be applied (1) to the erection of a suitable statue in Wellington ; (2) the surplus, if any, to the establishment of a scholarship or some other educational purpose.

LABOUR MATTERS.

[PER PRISBS ASSOOIATIOM.]

London, April 30. In a letter to a city newspaper, a Queensland farmer says that the Government gulls the people in Great Britain to emigrate to Queensland to starve. The Hull dockers are depressed, and many of them are famishing. May 1. Three thousand London dockers have resolved to go out on strike to-day unless the Shipping Federation men at the Victoria docks are removed. Mr Burns is averse to the proposed national strike, which he regards aa madness, but Keir Hardie and Mr H. Wilson are in favor of the proposal being carried out. (Received May 2, 11.15 a.m.) London, Mayl. The dockers strike in London has fizzled out. The First of May labor processions on the Continent have passed off quietly.

ASHBURTON RACING CLUB.

THE RACING CRISIS

At a meeting of the Committee of the AshburtOD Racing Club, held on Saturday evening, the following resolutions were carried, copies of which the Secretary was instructed to send to all the Racing Clubs in the South Island and ask thtem to appoint delegates to attend a conference to be held at Ashburton on July 5 next to discuss the matter:— Resolution.—l hat the Ashburton Racing Club considers that the time has arrived to form an association of country clubs, and that all bonajkle country clubs throughout the South Island be asked by circular to join and generally help forward the Associa j tion for the following reasons :— I.—That it is desirable that New Zealand racing should be governed by a representa tive body, or bodies, and not as at present by an unrepresentative one. 2,—-Thit Country Club 3 should be repre sented at Conferences held for the purpose of framing rules and considering matters connected with the welfare of racing in !New Zealand generally. 3.—That under th« present ruling the very existence of some of our oldest and best country clubs, whose meetings largely assist to maintain the sport, is seriously jeopardised, and a continuation *of this un desirable state of affairs will have the effect of encouraging proprietary clubs. 4.—That the Country Clubs b^iDg as sociated would be in a,.-better position to further the interests of racing in general.
