CABLE ITEMS

The Gothic's refrigerating machinery worked splendidly during the voyage Home and the meat and butter have arrived in perfect condition. "The Times" says Nubar Pasha, "who succeeds Riaz Pasha as President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, is the best qualified Egyptian to manage the Khedive. Sir J. C. Bray, Agent-General for South Australia, has not been officially informed of the appointment of the Hon. Thos. Playford as his successor, and he is astonished at the action of the Government in thus suddenly re moving him from office. The Vienna correspondent of the " Daily News " says the Emperors of Germany and Austria and the King of Italy have agreed to disarm whenever the interests of their respective coun tries permit of such a course. Lord Playfair says the Government will introduce Bills to put a stop to de ceptions in the sale of frozen meat. The French Government will meet the deficit of five millions by econo mising in the railway service and im posing a tax on houses and servants and monastic property. A fire has broken out in tha Coburg Palace, in Germany, and the Duke himself is directing the firemen in their efforts to extinguish the flames. The German Reichstag, by a majority of 123 votes, repealed the measure for the repression of the Jesuits. The Germ»n Government has decided to borrow eight millions at three per cent. News received in Sydney from Noumea states that a cable message had been received by the authorities announcing that the French Govern ment had voted a subsidy of 400,000 francs per annum for a period of fifteen years to the French New Hebrides Company.

The Ballance Memorial.

Wellington, April 17. A deputation from the JBallance Memorial Committee, introduced by the Hon J. Bigg, M.L.0., waited on the Premier to-night, and asked him to grant a site in the new Parliamentary Grounds on which to erect tha Ballance statue. The area of ground required was 12ft square. Mr Seddon said thia was a matter of some importance, requiring very careful consideration. He would consult his colleges on the subject and inform the deputation of their decision latter on. Personally he was of opinion the question was one for the House of Representatives itself to deal with, and he even doubted whether the Recess j Committee, which had control of the Parliamentary Grounds when the House was not in session, would take the re sponsibilityofsranting the request. Speak ing for himself, Mr Seddon said he would be only too pleased to assist the move ment, for he recognloed that in the colony thoae who had sacri ficed themselves in the country's interests were not accorded the re spect and veneration he considered they were entitled to. He was paintd to Bee so little attention given to movements of this kind, and he regarded the tendency to treat these matters so lightly as detri mental to the nation. This trait in the colonial character was hard to account for, but ib could not be denied that the colonies were behind the Old Country in regard to the veneration and respect shown to those who had served the nation, He considered the manner in which the proposal co erect a memorial to the late Sir Harry Atkinson had been treated was a great blob on the colony. Sir Harry had done yeoman service and he deserved batter at the hands of the country than he had received. It was clearly the fault of the people that the movement for a national memorial in this case has fa'len through, foi th 9 members of the Ministry and their late leader had nothing to reproach themselves with in the matter. It was a source of great regret to him that nothing had been done in Sir Harry Atkinson's case. In reply to a question by Mr Seddon, Mr Rigg said the monu ment to Mr Ballance would cost about fSOO. There were very few incidental expenses and almost the whole of the subscriptions wowld be spent on the memorial, which would be of very hand some design, and worthy both of the man and of the case.

The Collision at Sea.

Melbourne, April 17. The steamer Konoowarra, which was yesterday in collision off Green Gape with the ship Titania, has reached port safely. Her funnel was guyed in position by a block and tackle. The port side of the vessel from amidships right aft ia a complete wreck, the iron railings, rigging, deckhouses, and seats being swept away, while the port life boat was smashed to matchwood. Dur ing the collision one of the seamen belonging to the steamer jumped over board and it is supposed that another was swept off the deck by the ship's [ rigging. . j The steamer Glaucus, which is tow-1 ing the disabled ship Titania to Syd- j ney, has signalled from Jervis B iy that she has on board two sailors belonging to the Jkonoowarra* The Oaptain of the Konoowarra says he saw the ship Titania eight miles off, after passing Green Cape. He called the second officer's attention to the vessel when the latter took charge of the bridge. He then went to tea, and while he was away the collision occurred. After getting clear of the ship he found that several of the firemen had " rushed" a boat and lowered it. One man got away in her, while the steward jumped on board the ship. Finding that the steamer was making no water, the captain en deavoured to find the missing boat, but without avail, and as the Titania held on her course, he decided to go on to Melbourne. (Received April 18, 11.35 a.m.) Mel/BOUKKB. April 18. The captain of the Konoowarra states that when he saw the Titania she showed no lights, and although at that time a collision was highly im probable, he called the attention of the second officer the fact. Later on the ■ second officer suddenly saw the vessel [ through the darkness bearing right down on the steamer. A passenger confirms the statement that the Titania had no lights. The Konoo warra was struck right amidships.

A Hard Case.

Wellington, April 17- At a meeting of the Benevolent Trustees to-day, mention was made of a case of the local bakar who c«ne before the irustees recently, and drew forth a statement from the President of the Bakers' Union to the effect tint no member of the Union had applied to the trustees The wife of the man, who came before the truscees, stated that her husband had been a member of the Bakers' Union, but for the paab twelve months had been unable to obtain more than a few weeks' work. The man and his wife and family were reduced to starvation and pawned everything they possessed, incluluding bedding and clothing, to secure food. As the man was unable to continue his subscription of 6d per week to the Bakers' Union, he was struck off its membership, having first been continually worried, the wife said, by officers of the Union to pay arrears, which he was unable to find The Chairman said this was surely an extraordinary action on the part of the Union to expel a man who could not pay ; for that reason, and so prevent his getting j work. Mr Heaton said there might be ! some explanation. Other trustees having j spoken of the harshness of the case, it was ' decided to redeem the woman's bedding and necessaries and allow her two weeks rations.
