Auckaland Liberal Association.

Auckland, June 26. At a meeting of the Auckland Liberal Association the President, Mr W. Leyß, expressed his disagreement with a resolu tion paslsad at a previous meeting of the Association, which was to the effect that any meaanre or Bill having been twice passed in the House of Representatives,, and having been rejected twice by the Legislative Council, should become law as though passed by both Houses assembled. Mr Leys said that this resolution had been carried in epite of his most determined opposition, and despite the fact that; he had pointed out that it was not only too revolutionary in its character but quite out of the region of practical politics. It was, he considered, a resolution that would not be supported by a majority of the Liberal Patty. Mr Leys concluded by stating that he had decided to resign his position of President of the Association, and notwithstanding that he was strongly urged to refrain from taking this step he declined to recoasider his decision, and stated that it must be considered as final.

THE ASSASSINATION OF THE FRENCH PRESIDENT

[PBK ERESS ASSOCIATION.]

Pabis, June 26 The incendiary fires have been re newed at Lyons. Three of the mob were burned to death while setting fire to one house. Thousands of people are going to look at the President's body, which is lying in state at the Elysee. The funeral will take place on Sunday at the Pantheon. A period of official mourning will be observed in France for one month. Santo, in reply to the investigating Magistrate, asserted ho acted upon his own initiative, believing the deed would advance the cause of anarchy. The President's coachman disd from ,the effects of the shock while viewing the coffin. Lisbon, June 26. Anarchist placards have been affixed in this city claiming that Ravachol, Yaillant, and Henri have been avenged and that Santo merely dispensed retri butive justice. Six arrests have been effected. London, June 27. The Lords and Commons both voted addresses of sympathy, pAHia, June 27. The coffin of the late President is swathed in the national flag. The ! public are being admitted to view the body to-day. j Six hundred rioters were arrested at Lyons. The police are closing all houses and streets in the disturbed quarters of the city. Many meetings in Italy passed reso lutions of sympathy with France. An unfounded report that the French Ambassador at Rome had been murdered caused disorders on the Paris Boulevards. The excitement was only allayed by the exhibition of banners upon the public offices denying the rumour. The police seized the issue ©'£ "La Coca-dc " m hich published a paragraph asserting that the canard had been confirmed. The police had been warned that the Anarchists, abandoning the use of dynamite, had resolved to use the knife and the revolver against the statesmen of Europe—Orispi first, and Carnot next. The Italian Ambassador notified to the police that Santo had arrived in France, and advised them to watch him, as he was dangerous. Two Sisters of Charity and two pupils of the Polytechnic Institute guard the coffin. Anarchists attempted to dynamite the bridge at Montlucon. The King of Siam has sent a mes sage of condolence to the Government. Santo before the magistrate boasted of his deed, and repeated the murder in dumb show. He complained of rough usage by the mob. Thirty Anarchists have been arrested in Paris for justifying the crime. London, June 27 In the House of Lords the Premier said President Carnot waa a pure and blameless patriot. Lord Salisbury said he believed the world had reached a period of political passion similar to that at the close of the sixteenth century. Lords Rosebery and Salisbury, Sir W. V. Harcourt, and the Right Hon. A. J. Balfour paid eloquent tributes to President Carnot and the French nation. The Premier termed the Anarchists Ishmaelites. Referring to the long peace between England and France, he said he thought a little coolness and self-restraint in language, with more recollection of what was due to others on the part of the leaders of States, would improve all foreign relations. He hoped President Oar not's death would abate the strenuous ness of international complications.

A* he becomes more mature he gives evidence that he haa inherited the physical debilities and tastes of his ancestors.

An alleged Raphael (says the ' Canadian Gazette') has been discovered at Ottawa under singular circumstances. A poor Toronto dressmaker had a picture of an old mosque left her by her father, on which she placed little value. On January 6 it fell, and the frame broke. She took it to be repaired, when on the canvas, turned under the back of the frame, was found this inscription—' Interior of a mosque painted *t Urbino by Raphael when twelve years old.' Interior of mosque De La Granda.' On another part of the canyas was inscribed— 'Taken from Holyrood in 1688 by Lord Russell. Presented to Lady Isabel Russell, 1739.'
