Wellington, March 15. At a meeting of the Trades and Labor Council to-night, the following letter was read from Mr J. A. Millar, M.H.R:— *♦ Federated Seamen's Union of New Zea- j land, Be id Office, Duuedin, March 1, 1894. The Secretary Trades and Labor Council, Wellington. Dear Sir,—l have been instructed to write to you and re quest yonr assistance in the matter I now bring trader your notice. The steamer Tasmania is running over here with men receiving lower wages than are paid by j the Union Steamship Company, and un less we can bring public opiaion to bear upon Messrs Haddart, Parker and Co., so as to force them to pay the same wages as the Union Company, I am informed that the latter will probably reduce their wages sheet to the same level. As you can ace, this would be a serious matter to the colony, as it would mean the with drawal of a large sura monthly from circu lation, besideß being an incentive to employers to reduce wageß. Would your Council pass and publish a resolution requesting the public to patronise our local steamers until Messrs Huddart, Parker and 00. pay the district wages 1 " After considerable discussion it waa re solved to refer the letter to the Trades Councils Conference, to be held in Auck land shortly, In order that the whole question may be discussed then. Wellington, March 18 Mr Murrell, Mr Huddart's representa tive hare, says the rate of wages on board the Tasmania is according to the scale paid on all the Australian vessels, bat is lower than the Union Company's. He does not see how it could be altered with out breaking agreement; with the - ship owners on the other side. He thinks possibly the difficulty might begot over by registering the vessel here, but cannot gay definitely what will be done until he consults the proprietors, and is inclined to believe they would have no objection to do this.

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAMS

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION Xiil>«l. Wellington, March 22. < , McKee, one of the proprietors of " Fair f Play," has been committed for trial for an alleged criminal libel on Davii Gain, ex president of the Temperance Union, by publishing an article from the " Licensed Victuallers Gazette" referred to in a j pamphlet published by Gain respecting j certain incidents in his career. In a similar case against the " Fair Play Com pany," iudgment was reserved.

The "Kindergarten."

I The annual entertainment by the I pupils of the Ashburton kindergarten took place on Thursday afternoon in St Stephen's schoolroom, the platform of which was tastefully decorated for the occasion. There was a very large atten dance of parents and friends of the pupils attending the school and a somewhat lengthy programme was very pleasingly carried out- The children seemed thoroughly to enjoy their part in the performances, the enthusiasm manifested by some of the little dots being most amusing. After a pianoforte overture brilliantly played by Miss Mainwaring, and a march by the children, the Lord's prayer was recited and a hymn sung by the i pupils. Their next item was a song " The Seasons" in which spring, summer,, autumn and winter were represented respectively, by Misses Dorothy Ha milt om, Mary Tweed, and Masters Charlie Brooke and Harold Lane, the little per formers being appropriately dressed and carrying baskets filled with flowers, corn, holly, etc, in conformity with the character, Miss Oarata Redmayne dressed as a queen taking the role of the New | Year. Then came a minuat performed on the stage by the Misses Friedlander (2), Lucy Kempthorne and Ila Paul, very , effectively attired in fastiion of a century ago. Next were ball games, an action song and recitations by the children, followed by a gavotte very prettily exe cuted by six young ladies. The remain der of the Items were pole exercises neatly performed, a double march, song dancing, and movement song—"Some Folks," —all of which elicited the applause of the spectators. These items were interspersed with songs charmingly rendered by Mrs Denshire, Miss E. Davie, and Miss Hardy. At this stage Major Steward on behalf of the audience, congratulated the Misses Cousens and Graham on the excel r lent performances of their pupils, and expressed the pleasure with which these had been witnessed by all present. If for that reason only, they might all wish themselves young again in order to have the opportunity of going through the kin dergarten training, and he was sure that if all the parents in tiie Ashburton county | could have seen that day's exhibition the number of children sent to the kindergar ten would be quickly more than trebled. On behalf of all present he wished the ladies in charge all success in their future work. Dr Tweed suggested thit in future the school might be held with advantage at the Orange Hall if the use of it could be arranged for. Another hymn w*s then sung by the children and the national anthem closed the proceedings.

THE ASHBURTON OTABDIAff, FRIDAY, MARCH JL6, 1894.



The coming bicycle meeting on East r Monday promises to be a great success. No stone is left unturned to make the arrage ments as complete as possible. The Brass Band has been engaged to play throughout the day, and will add to the attractions of the meeting. The entries close with the Secretary this evening, and already a large number ,have come to hand from outside clubs, including some as far south as Inver cargill. The Ten Mile Championship of New Zealand promises to prove a great attraction. The new tropedo boat Hornet, which has attained the speed of 28 miles an hour, is the fastest in the British fleet. This craft on the measured mile attained a speed of 23.84 knots, with the engines running at 472 re volutions per minute, while the speed on a three hours' continuous rui was 2% knots. The engines indicated 2000 horse-power, which in a vessel of only 130 tons weight all told is a high power. But Prance has two torpedo boats which go 28 knots, and two which go 26 knots, while Russia has three of the latter speed. Of 25-k not boats, Franca has seven, and of 24-knot craf * ten. Of the 23-knot boats, we have or are building, 11, while France has 53. Some excitement has been occasioned in Nelson in connection with " Professor" Richard, the medical electrician. Henry Smith, who was employed by the •'Pro fessor " t until a few days ago, has made public statements of a damaging nature re garding his late employer, and Mr Buxion, C.E., went on the platform and said he was aßked by " Professor " Richard, who was not present, to state that he would completely answer Smith on Sunday next, and asked the people to withhold judgment until then. On Thursday afternoon, however, the " Pro fessor " left for the South and Invercargill. Some have threatened to bring actions against him. Mr Buxton appears to have been set upon after he left the meeting and assaulted*
