New South Wales Parliament.

Sydney, January 21. With regard to Mr Peel's paper on the New South Wales finances, Sir G. Dibbs says the explanation of such peculiar subjects was a most delicate one, dealing as it did with the credit of the colony, and yet the writer was allowed to publish it as a State paper. He declares that he is aware that two others, at least, besides himself received copies. The Premier considers that it is just as well that the paper has been repudiated, though he considers it strange tbat it should have beeu al lowed to have b«en published under the auspices of the Imperial Government. Received January 22, 11.45 a.m. Sydney, January 22.

Captain Francis, of Raff's Rangers, has informed the Press representatives that he instructed his men to take no prisoners, and that he saw wounded Matabeles shot down by th 6 Bechuana police.

A " MISUNDERSTANDING."

Wellington, January 22. Despite the statement of Ministers on Saturday that; they did not intend to make the appointment of the Railway Commissioners public, a lengthy tele* gram, giving full particulars, appeared in some papers the tame afternoon. These must have been transmitted while Mini sters were refusing to announce the appointments here, and it is necessary to .explain that when the Cabinet rose at 1 p.m. on Saturday the representatives of the Press Association and other reporters waited on the Premier, who told them the appointments were to be made known, but the Cabinet had left it in the hands of the Hon. W, P. Beeves to explain what had been done. Another Minister also said the decision would be communicated to the Press. The Premier was pressed to give the names, but rtfused on the j ground that Mr Reev«s was to be the > mouth piece of Ministers Mr Reeves was therefore interviewed but ftatly re fused to say anything, adding that Mr Seddon must h%ve been misunderstood, as the Cabinet had decided cot to publish the result of the deliberations. The reporters then went back to the Cabinet room where Ministers were again assemb ling, and interviewed Mr Ward, and then Mr Reevesagain finally. After three hours had thus been spent in endeavoring to persuade Ministers to make up their minds, the final answer was returned that a resolution had been passed by the Cabinet that nothing was to be divulged at present. Nevertheless, in spite of these resolutions, the whole of what has been done was transmitted to certain evening papers, and reached them in time for publication, It is^also necessary to add that there was no misunderstanding of the Premier, who decidedly said the result should be made known on applica tion to Mr Reeves.

Raid by African Slave Dealers.

London, January 19. News from the West Coast of Africa state that the Sofia slave dealers pillaged the villages of the interior and massacred the women and children. The British forces surprised them, killing 250 of their number and setting free four hundred c»ptives. London, January 21. Details of the defeat inflicted on the Sofias show that the engagement was decisive. Seventy-seven prisoners were taken and four hundred slaves released, though many were previously butchered.

Starving Women and Children.

An enthusiastic women's demonstration was held in London on November 7 in support of the starving women and child' ren in the mining districts. Lady Henry Somerset wrote: IC No meeting I remem ber has ever more thoroughly commanded my endorsement and sympathy than the one over which you will have the honor to preside to-night. To know that mothers and their little ones are starving on British soil while the material for warmth is locked away from them, and the hands that would gladly earn their food are paralysed by the fiat of a great monopoly, is the most painful and humiliating fact of current history. Industrial warfare is the most unreasoning in which human beings can engage. It is a national humiliation that no better way has yet been devised by which Labor can reveal its wrongs and Capital claim its so-called rights than by withholding bread from the mouths of women and children. Surely legislation is still a most clumsy machine when a great nation finds Itself reduced to straits like these." Mis Sidney Webb, chairwoman, spoke of the condition of the miners' families as a great national calamity. Over a quarter of a million miners and their wivea and children were slowly starving. They must insist that in these great industrial conflicts the Barae rule should apply as operated in wars between great countries—that the men should kill each other but that the wives and children should be protected. Another speaker said th re were thousands of weakly women and children who were fast being sent to the grave by this struggle. They had been living on bread and water, but had coma to such a stafca that they could not take this any longer, A miner's wife wh j was present gave her expeiience of miners' difficulties for the past twenty years. Her husband had worked six days a week for the miseiable sum of 10a, 12s, and 14^ per week (Shame.) She had lost % child in hard times through want, and the had a son now suffering from the deprivations of early youth. They couli never consent to their husbands going back at the miserable old wage, especially after en joying a decent living wage for the last few years. They did not want chad y, they only demanded a decent living wage. She was told th t half a loaf was better than none, but she replied that they had lived on half a loaf long enough, and must have a whole knf or none at all. (Cheers.) Women were deteimined to die ( rather than submit to the proposed reduc tion, and many of the miners' wives must come to this, because the shopkeepers in plac s had declined to give them any more credit, and they had no money to buy food. She knew of cases in Yorkshire in which the family hfcd nothing to eat for breakfast but cold turnipo, and the children were fainting at school for w *nt of food. Others had sold all their furniture and effects io buy bread, and now they had nothing to lie on but bare boards. Tha masters said they would starve them to submission, bub this was a cruel and terrible weapon, and was felt most by the innocent women and children. Tha colliery proprietors seemed to act more like slave owners than Christian men, and she of en thought they were drifting back to serfdom. A resolution was carried with much en thusiasm :—" Thafc this meeting of women having watched with profound grief the terrible sufferings endured with heroic fort" tude for over three months by the women and children in the mining districts, sends heartiest messages of love and sympathy. Thia meeting considers that all workmen have a right to a wage upon which they can -support their families in decency and independence free of charity."
