TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS

A Hero. Wellington, April 3. Mr H. Bevan, the settler near Mana kau who saved a train Hsb year from crossing a partly destroyed bridge, is dead. He got up from a bed of sickness to warn the train, and this hastened his end. He was only thirty-six, and leaves a widow and several ohildrea. Electric Tramway*. j The expert's report in connection with the proposed electrical tramway in Dunedin Btates that no serious injury is HkeJy to result fco the telephones, pro vided steps are taken to reduce the re sistance of the return tr&raway circuit, »nd thereby prevent, as far as possible, the straying of the return current into the gas and water pipes. The telegraph circuits, they state, would not be affected. To obviate danger to life and the risk of fire, they suggest the two systems should occupy opposite sides of the streets, and at the points of intersection should cross at right angles if possible. They con clude by stating that, subject to their recommendations being adopted, they see no objection to the construction of the proposed system of electrical tramways in JDanedin. __„___„_

CECIL RHODES.

One of the most remarkable public men outside the limits of the British Isles is certainly Mr Cecil Rhodes, the enterprising Premier of South Africa, who is rapidly building up an ex tensive empire for the English in Southern Africa. Such a man is bound to have detractors, but Mr Bhodes knows well how to deal with such. Referring to the recent Mata bele war he said, in a speech recently, he had done all he cuold to prevent it. Was it likely, he asked, that any human individual who had been landed with the Mafekinss Railway, with ihe telegraph to Nyasaland, and the ex tension of the railway through the fly country from Beira, was recklessly going to chuck himself into a struggle with the last ruthless power of barbar ism that existed in feiouth Africa ? But the situation was such as no man with a claim to humanity would submit to, and the result was almost amusing, when one remembered that the Mata bele power had been destroyed by a band of 600 colonists, mostly trades men. They had vanquished a barbarian power equal to that of the Zulus, a savage power with whioh Her Majesty's Government would otherwise have had to deal at a. great cost. " Surely," he said, " that ought to satisfy them in England, but it did not." Mr Rhodes went on to refer to the Aborigines' Protection Society, and related a conversation at Buluwayo with gentlemen who styled the Aborigines' Protection Society the 11 Aborigines' Destruction Society." Mr Rhodes also referred to the fact that when the charter was granted Her Majesty sent a letter to Loben gula telling him to recognise the charter; but at the same time there was a breakfast given by the Aborigines' Protection Society, and they sent a letter also, telling the King that he should work his gold himself, and that he should not give it to any adventurers. The two letters arrived togetker. The King made a careful examination and found, un fortunately, that at the breakfast they were all gentlemen with white hair; and he said, "It is clear to me that Her Majesty is giving a nominal letter in favor of Mr Rhodes, but her old councillors have sent another." This was in the terms of native ideas, and the King did his duty. Did those present know what that duty was ? He promptly went and murdered the man who had witnessed the concession and seventy of his people, women and childrenj and, when remonstrated with afterward, he said, " Oh, but the old gray-beards told me to do it 1" The old gray-beards, however, it is only fair to s»y } do not admit Mr Rhodes' statement of the case. Mr Cecil Rhodes is an Imperialist, and ex pansionist, and an Afrikander —indeed, they are all expansionists in South Africa now. On this subject Sir Graham Bower, at a recent banquet to Mr Rhodes^ made some amusing, yet none the less sensible remarks. He said he would like to relate the political experiences of a certain Patrick and Judy (/Flaherty. They were man and wife, find they quarrelled—such things happened sometimes—but, hav ing quas relied, they go on very nicely with their quarrel till it was time to go to bed, Now, they were poor people, and had but one bed and one blanket between them; but they were not going to give up their quarrel on that account, so they arranged to place the bolster in the middle and thus divide the bed into two halves. It is true that the bolster got all the blanket and Pat and Judy were left shivering with cold, but they were keeping up their quarrel nicely and that was a great comfort to them. Well, things went on in this way till Pat, who was getting influenza, sneezed, and Judy, from force of habit, said, "God bless you Pat." Pat cried, "Did you say God bless you, Judy, then away goes the bolster," and ke threw it overboard. Now, those who dwelt in South Africa had made their bed in South Africa, and they had got to lie in it. There was enough of the blanket to cover all, but if they were to quarrel amongst themselves, if they were to place a bolster between the various States and colonies, or between the various races and Interests, why, some one had to be Jtit out i» the cold,

Frozen Meat Trade.

Sydney, April 2. Mr Abbot, the well-known pas toraliat, has returned from a visit to New Zealand, He says that as New Zealand has no natural grasses like New South Wales the latter can pro duce crossbred sheep suitable for frozen meat export cheaper than New Zealand can do, and if New South Wales pa3toralists would only show some pluck and expend a few hundred thousand pounds in the establishment of the industry, they would in less than two years double the value of pastoral assets.

Liquor Riots in. America

New York, April 1. As a result; of the riots in connec tion with the enforcement of the liquor laws, martial law has been proclaimed in Darlington County, South Carolina, and the Governor of the State has placed an embargo on the telegraph and railway companies. 3Sbw Yobk, April 2. The Governor of Darlington has obtained a reinforcement of Militia, and has proclaimed the country in a Btate of rebellion. The law in South Carolina places the sale of alcoholic liquors in the hands of the State. (Received April 3, 10 45 a.m.) Washington, April 2. The sale of liquor by private indi viduals has been stopped in South Carolina since July, without payment of compensation. A few State dis pensaries only supply the public, and private citizens are forbidden to im port. It is alleged the law was only forced through the Legislature by the Governor's fanaticism. The seizure of railroads and telegraphs is driving the State to revolt.

THE STORM.

Napiek, April 2 Eight inches of rain fell in thirty-five hours from Saturday night to Monday morning. The Tufcaekuri and Petane rivers are in high flood. The Taradale and Meanee were in a worst plight than at the floods in December last for a few hours, but the water quickly subsided on the cessation of the rain to-day. Farn don was also heavily flooded. In Petane Valley the water was higher than ever known before. The Ngaruroro and Tutaekuri, though banks high, did not overflow to any considerable extent, and Olive was free from flood. A good many sheep have been lost, but the losses of stock are insignificant when compared with those of December, as the waters rose more gradually and there was more time to move stock. It is reported that much damage was done up counfciy. The rain was accompanied by a gale of unprecedented severity. The chief damage was to gardens and fences, an enormous number ©f large trees being blown down. A very heavy sea was run ning from northeast. The wind was south and this raised enormous waves and solid green seas thirty feet deep swept over the cant of the breakwater, but no damage of any importance was done either to the breakwater or to the wharf. The mole to the weso of the breakwater now under construction was, however, heavily damaged, about 430 ft being swept »way. The loss is about £2000. A crane also went over into the sea.

A pumpkin grown iin Timaru measures six feet in girth and weighs 101 lbs. A young man was leading a horse in Mas. terton a few days ago with a rope twisted round his hand. By some mischance the ! lad's hand was caught in a fence. The result was that the skin of the hand was pulled I right over the fingers, one finger was broken, and the hand was terribly mutil ated. They were married at Melbourne, and the bridegroom gave her as a wedding present, anltosurance policy on his life for £1,000, He died suddenly a little ever a year after the wedding, and she communicated the sad news to her mother in a telegram:—" Jim died of fever last night. Loss fully covered by insurance." A very pleasing ceremony took place on Tuesday last 27th inst., at the residence of Mr G, C. Waby, Ingham Grange, South bridge, when Mr J. McLeod, of Annat, and formerly of Southbridge, who was that day married to Miss Aney Waby, was made the recipient of a very handsome fruit and cake salver from his scholastic friends. Mr Murdoch McLeod, of Waimate, was deputed by his fellow teachers to make the presenta tion on their behalf. This he did in a very appropriate speech, in which he conveyed to Mr McLeod the good wishes for his future prosperity enjoined by the donors, and then handed Mr McLeod the souvenir, accom- ( panied by a highly complimentary address. The address was signed by teachers who had been co-students with Mr McLeod, amongst the names being that of Mr David Grant, Ashburton. Mr McLeod replied in a suit able speech. The San Francisco mail did not arrrive by the afternoon trains from Christchurch. The heavy head weather delayed the steamer be tween Wellington and Lyttelton. The Brunner left Wellington with the mail at 11.45 a.m. on Sunday, and was not reported at Lyttelton up to 4 p.m. yesterday —was not in sight, twenty-eight hours out. The steamer, however, arrived at Lytteiton in the evening and the mail lef b Christchurch by special train at ten o'clock last night, reaching Ashburton a few minutes before midnight. After a short stay the special proceeded on its way. The officials at Ash burton commenced sorting immediately, and the office was open for a short time, but we fancy the editor on duty for the night was the only caller for correspondence* The home correspondence went out with the first delivery this morning.
