Before appointing Nubar Pasha to succeed Riaz Pasha as President of the Council and Minister of the Interior, the Khedive consulted Lord Oromar, British Minister. Because of the Governor's refusal to dissolve the Newfoundland Parliament, Sir W. V. Whiteway and his late col leagues in the Ministry refused to leave the House of Parliament, and barred the doors against the Governor and members of the new Ministry. The supporters of Sir William Whiteway passed a vote of confidence in the late Ministry, but the Governor, Sir John O'Brien, ignored it.

SPORTING.

The tracks at Ashburton are now in first-class order, and trainers are hard at work getting their horses ready for the approaching meeting. Most of the work is done after breakfast, and East galloping is rarely indulged in. The local horses engaged at the meeting are on the whole, very forward, Mr Hobbs' especially so. Mr Brown's Warrington, who competed at Oamaru, made a very poor display, running unplaced in both his engage ments. Mr Friedlander's Wheedler, who annexed the Maiden at Oamaru, is at present in the pink of condition; the same remarks apply to th® speedy Jess, who has been very prominent in the winning brackets lately.

The Turf Libel Case.

STARTLIN© EVIDENCE.

Melbourne Press Correspondent. The turf libel action of Hayes v the " Australasian " has been proceeding this week, and the Court has been crowded daily with horsey people, including jockeys, trainers, owners aad boobmakers. Amongst the witnesses are Messrs Payfcen, Hiokenbotham, Huxley, Power, Dawes, Brewer, S. G. Cook, Harris, Smith and many others well-known in the sporting world, including $C. Rudings, formerly of New Zealand. Payfcen gave evidence that in February, 1893, in the Alma Stakes, Hayes was guilty of foul riding and pre vented horses from winning. On the same day, in the Oakleigh Handicap, the plaintiff, on Gladstone, endangered the life of Dawes, the rider of Premier, by crushing htm on the rails. Ib was a moat serious piece of foul riding. The other evidence painted Hayes in very black colors. Rudlnga, for instance, declared that Hayes had tried t? turn a two-year old into a steeplechaser by driving him at a feace as the only way of stopping him from winning; and in a hurdle race in ■which Hayca was riding Timotheus he chased Seasons? and Victim all over the course to stop them. On one occasion he -caught The Magistrate by the bridle <uid field on to him for fifty yards. At Aspen dale he rode a horse called Stonebroke to lose, and he was so near winning that he had to start Stonebroke climbing over Bridegroom's back. An owner called Scott, who was in with H*yas, said it was the best piece of horsemanship he ev»r saw. This man began by backing Hayes' tips and paying him 10 per cent of his winnings. Then t he became an owner. But Hayes took him down by losing a' fcwo-year-old rice with Baltic, and that ruined him. Among other incidents narrated by this witness was the " taking down " of Hayes' own father, who was ad vised to back a horse that he said they had agreed the nights before to lose with Hayes- At this time, according to the statements of the witness, Hayes was not good friends with his father, and Scott Jiad either to " take down " the father or on end the son.

Oceanic Language

Theßav. D. Mcdonald has just pub lished in Melbourne a book entitled, "The Asiatic Origin of the Oceanic Language," which should be interesting to all in New Zealand who have given any attention to the language of the Maoris. In a review of the work, the Argus says :—" The Rev. D. Mcdonald has a better claim than anyone else to the invention of the theory that the " Oceanic " languages are ultimately of Semitic orgin. Whether his notion will in due time amount to a well established article of the general philo logical faith we cannot yet say. Various hints of the derivation of the Malayo-Polynesian peoples from a common home in the Semitic quarters of Asia have been thrown out at times in a fugitive manner, but it has been left for Mr Macdonald to attempt some exposition of the linguistic material for such a view. In 1884 (we believe) Mr Fenton, of Auckland, delivered a couple of lectures, in which the argument of geographical dis tribution was roughly combined with arguments drawn from the tradition of a common starting point called Hawaiki, in such a way that feaba (Sheba) or Sabaea was the focus upon which the lines naturally converged. Nor is there anything either geogra phically or ethnologically violent in the hypothesis. When we find langu ages unmistakably akin to each other spoken over a number of islands scattered from Madagascar to Hawaii, we naturally look for a point from which it was as easy to reach the one extreme as the other. And when we next find the distribution broken up by interven ing islands, in which occur quite alien languages and races, we need hardly seek any other explanation than the obvious one, that the migrating ances tors of the (Oceanic' peoples crept from island to island, conquering and settling where they could, and passing on where they failed. According to this view a departure from Southern Arabia is at least as probable as from anywhere else. More cannot be said."

GOLD.

(Received April 17, 11.30 a.m.) Sydney, April 17. The Clyde river rush has proved a duffer s and is nearly deserted. Much destitution is prevalent; the diggers are eating corn in the cobs, and the majority are begging passages back to town. Hobaet, April 17. A splendid lode has been found in King River Tributary mine at Lynch ford. One dish gave two pounds weight of gold, including one piece a pound, Perth, April 17. Bad news has been received from Kurnalpi, where two thousand diggers have been compelled to leave owing to the failure of the water supply. A great many of the men are in a state I of semi-starvation. People are warned j against flocking there until the rainy season sets in. Provisions are also running short at Coolgardie, and any big rush will make a famine inevi table.
