country. No country could afford to pay the amount that had hitherto been expended in Government adver tisements and the Government had, therefore, decided that the cost must be decreased He held that there was, no occasion for the Government to advertise in two papers which virtually had the snme subscribers. No busi ness man would do it. He pointed out that in three years the Railway Commissioners had paid £11,000 for advertising, and some papers had re ceived £1000 in that time. What the Government had done was in the in terests of the colony, and was not done either to punish any newspapers or to purchase their suppo t. The Hon J. McKenzie said that when the present Government came into office they found Opposition papers treated in the same ncminer as was now complained of. The Govern ment had only proceeded on business lines, and had no intention of buying support. Mr Ward spoke in a similar strain, and pointed out that some Government advertisements were given to all papers. Mr Allen pointed out that a large increase had taken place in advertising in the Grown Lands Department in the last three years. Several other members spoke. Mr Bell took the opportunity of the adjournment having been moved, to call attention to the reply given by Mr Ward to Mr G. W. Russell, when he stated that negotiations were going on for amalgamation between the Colonial Bank and the Bank of New Zealand. He asserted that if these things were being done before the president or directors were appointed for the Bank of New Zealand, or before the colony bad the slightest opportunity of being protected, the House had been betrayed and misled. The amalgamation of the two banks might be a good thing for the colony, but he hoped that nothing would be done before the House had been consulted. Mr Ward was much surprised at Mr Bell's remarks. Was the honourable gentleman not aware that there was a president of the bank at present in London. (Mr Bell: Yes, quite aware.) The Government were not delaying the election of a president, and were anxious to see one appointed for the colony, They would not interfere directly or indirectly in the election of either presidsnt or directors. The two millions guaranteed by the colony for the Bank of New Zealand had not yet been raised, and the Government had no responsibility yet in connection with the amalgamation negotiations which were proceeding. It was a matter entirely for the two * institutions, and no decision whatever would be arrived , at without the approval of (the House. He assured the House that, at the earliest possible opportunity 8 they would be informed of the full parti culars of the negotiations. After further discussion the motion j for adjournment was lost. | FENCING BILL. j On the motion of Mr McKenzie, the Fencing Bill, to regulate the erection and maintenance of dividing and rabbit-proof fences, was read a second time, and referred to the Stock Com mittee. The House rose at 5.30. 3 he House resumed at 7.30. RATING BILL. The Rating Bill was committed. After considerable discussion on the interpretation clause, Mr Ward, at the request of the native members, agreed to report progress so that the Bill could go the Statues Revision Com mittee. GAMING BILL. A message was received from the Legislative Council insisting on their amendment in the Gaming Bill. Sir Robert Stout, Mr Lannry, and Mr Duncan wore appointed to confer with the Council on the matter. RATING ON UNIMPROVED VALUE BILL. Mr Buchanan resumed the debate on the second reading of the Unim proved Value Bill. He said that if the Bill passed a gross injustice would be perpetrated throughout the coun try. Mr Hone Heke and Mr Parata ob jected to the Bill as one dealing with native lands. The Premier stated that the natives did not come under the Bill. Dr Newman supported the principle of the Bill. Mr Pirani and Mr Hogg heartily supported the Bill. Mr McKenzie (Clutha) said that the Bill was a most pernicious measure. Mr O'Regan heartily supported the Bill, but would prefer to see it made compulsory. Sir Robert Stout opposed the Bill, and said that the effect of it would be to exempt from taxation £18,000,000 worth of property in town, and £28,000,000 of property in the country. Those who would escape taxation were the owners of large offices, warehouses, banks, insurance offices, etc. _. Mr John McKenzie combatted Sir Robert Stout'a arguments, and took exactly the opposite views to that gentleman. Mr Macintosh, Mr R. McKenzie, and Mr McGowan supported the Bill, and Mr Eraser opposed it. Mr J. W. Kelly, Mr Hall, Mr Thompson, and Mr Lang supported the Bill. Mr Massey and Mr Crowther opposed it. Captain Russell said that there could only be one reason for the intro duction of this Bill, namely, to pro pitiate Mr O'Regan on the question of single tax. He strongly opposed the Bill. Mr Stevens, Mr Harris, and Mr Willis supported the Bill. Mr Ward in replying, said that they had heard nothing during the debate from the Opposition to induce the Government supporters to change their views on this question. He said that a considerable demand had come from the local bodies for this Bill As to Captain Russell's statment with re gard to the single tax, he pointed out that this Bill was introduced last session before Mr O'Regan was in the House. The second reading was carried on a division by 37 to 4, The committal of the Bill was set down for next day. The House rose at 1 a.m.

LATEST CABLE NEWS. DISASTROUS FIRES IN MINNESOTA.

Washington, September 3 The forest fires were due to the pro longed drought, which has lasted two months. They began on Friday, and the result was appalling. Sixteen towns, exclusive of villages, have been destroyed, and fifteen hundred lives lost. This shocking feature of the calamity was in a large measure due to a change of wind, by which towns supposed to be safe were suddenly engulfed. In many places the citizens kept the fire at bay for hours, till they were exhausted. Wherever the flames swept the air was filled with the shrieks of the dying, Some stood in pools and dashed water over one another; others wallowed in mud, and so sought to, escape the dreadful fate. Rain is now falling in Minnesota, but the fires con tinue in Michigan and Wisconsin. Forty square miles have been devas tated. September 4. Minnesota has been the theatre of devastation and ruin, and most horrible scenes have occured. No less than th cc hundred passengers by train are missing. In one district, over which a body of fire had swept, one hundred and thirty corpses were found within a space of five acres. At Hinckley forty unfortunate people, surrounded by flames, took refuge in a waterhole, but the fire swept over its surface, and some were burnt to death and others drowned. The train, mentioned in yesterday's cables, caught fire before it reached the swamp, and in the panic that ensued 12 people leaped out into the raging fire and were killed. The counties of Kennebec and Oarl ton were denuded of villages. Thousands of people are camping out without food, and surrounded by charred corpse?. No house or village in the path of the fires escaped. The damage is roughly put at £2,000,000. i

SHIPWRECKS.

Brisbane, September 4. The Cambus Wallace is a complete wreck. Two of the seamen were drowned, and the captain was injured. (Received September 5, 11 30 a.m.) Brisbane, September 5 The snrvivors of the Gainbus Wal lace were landed from the vessel in a terrible plight, and almost naked. Six lives were lo3t, five by drowning and the sixth succumbed, en route to Bris bane, from injuries received. Birch, the steward, one of those drowned, got locked in the cabin, and was unable to get out. The other victims were O'Neill, (cook), Smith (carpenter), and Paterson, McLachlan, and Peebles (seamen). The captain states he thought he was thirty-five miles off the land when the ship struck. One by one the crew got ashore until only the captain, carpenter, and steward and four apprentices remained. These with the exception of the steward, took refuge in the nrizzen rigging. "When the mainmast went overboard the brace struck the captain, throwing < him out of the rigging and severely in juring him. After this the riggingl was deserted, and one of the lifeboats was launched and the survivors got aboard. One of the apprentices fell overboard and swam ashore with difficulty. The carpenter also fell into the s«?a and was drowned. Paul, chief officer of the vessel, was seriously in jured. The captain refers with pride to the fact that the apprentices were rescued. All the lads are under six teen years of age, and were making their first voyage. The ship was on her,maiden trip. The South British and New Zealand Insurance-Companies are interested in the wreck.

Wellington, September 5 The Marine Department have received information that the schooner Christine, owned by Captain Smith, Auckland, and bound from Hokianga to Napier with telegraph pole 3, was totally wrecked at the mouth of the Waitotara river on Monday, and the crew, consiatiug of six men were drowned, Hawbea, September 5. The schooner Christine was found on the beach at the mouth of the Waitotara river. A mile and a half further along the beach two ships' boats were found. The schooner had been leaking, and the holes had been plugged with blankets. There is no trace of the crew, and it is considered probable they are somewhere on shore.

Holloway's Pills and Ointment—The ost effectual Cure for Gout and Rhemutism —A frequent cause of these complaints is the inflamatory state of the blood, attended with bad digestion, lassitude, and great debility, showing the want of a proper oir- j culationof the fluid, and that impurity of j the blood greatly aggravates these disorders. Holloway's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doses taken in time are an effec tual preventive against gout and rheumatism but anyone that has an attack ot either should use Hollawiys Ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effects of the Pills, ensure a certain cure. The Ointment should be thoroughly rubbed into the parts affected at least twice a day, after they have been sufficiently fomented with warm water to open the pores to fac iliate the introduction of the Ointment to the glands
