Sydney, January 23 Mr Cook, the Postmaster-General, replying to a deputation from the Seamen's Conference, who urged that the Government should not subsidise mail steamers employing Asiatics, said he would go to the Postal Conference in Hobart witn his mind clearly made up to use his best endeavors to try to get white labor only employed on mail steamers.

Sydney, January 24

The Newcastle miners' funds are exhausted. The secretary states that after payment of 'he strike allowance to-morrow nothing will be left.

The Oable

Sydney, January 23

Owing to the bad weather in New South Wales, only one wire is avail able to the southern colonies, and, as a consequence, the foreign cable messages delayed by the recent interruption on the Port Darwin land line can only filter through very slowly. Adelaide, January 23

The Port Darwin line, after restora tion between Oodnadatta and Strang ways Greek, failed almost immediately between William Creek and Oodna datta, and communication is again completely interrupted.

Ship on Fire.

Melbourne, January 23

The Italian ship Savoia, 1308 tons, iust arrived from New York, caught fire while lying at the wharf, but the brigade was fortunately able to obtain a mastery of the flames before nsuch damage was done. Her cargo consists of 70,0001b of gasoline, 100,0001b of kerosene, 250,0001b of lubricating oil and 100,0001b of paraffia wax. It is marvellous that no explosion occurred, as a case containing a quantity of kerosene was burnt.

Missing; Vessels.

Sydney, January 24

Two coasting vessels, the schooner Philip Palfrey and the ketch Dewdrop, are reported missing.

Damage l>y Floods.

Sydney, January 24

Great destruction of property by floods in the Maitland district is repotted. Bailway communication is still interrupted. The Morpeth district is one stretch of water for miles; not a farm escaped inundation. A man named Corbett was drowned. The flood in the Manning river is the heaviest since 1876 ; farms are sub merged in. all directions, but the water Is now receding. Fifteen inches of rain fell in three days.

Australian .Federation.

Melbourne, January 24

An enthusiastic meeting on the subject of Federation was held at the Town Hall last nighi, the Chief Justice presiding. Mr Read, Premier of .New South Wales, said it seemed to him thct the vital defect in the efforts of the last few years in the direction of federation was that it never seemed to quite ccme home to the hearts of the masses. The first essential of a thoroughly successful federal move ment was popular enthusiasm ; if not obtained in that way it could only come by popular panic. Let them take care they were not some day compelled to do in mad haste that which had better be dore at leisure. They must not forget the great work done by Sir H. Parkes and the Sydney convention. Much of the draft con stitution then framed would be accept able in the future. As an observer of the proceedings of that convention he had been unfavorably struck at its close by what seemed a feverish anxiety to smother conflict of opinion upon matters of great im portance. In the Draft Bill there had been a too palpable bid for federation at any price. He was sure New South Wales wij,s not prepared for such a fedpratipn, and that they wouM never take the irrevocable steps of legislative and, executive union unless they could see befpre them for their arceptance a definite, sound and economical arrange ment, He feared for the success of any new platform placing the subject on a sound living basis unless the people specially selected the f ramers of the constitution, Parliaments and Gov ernments had tried to do it and failed. Mr Kingston, Premier of South Australia, and Mr Larke, a Canadian representative, also spoke.

A meeting of the New Zealand Flock Book Council was held yesterday in the rooms of the Canterbury A. and P. Asso ciation, Cbristchurch. Present—Mr John Grt<4g (Chairman, in the chair), Messrs J. McCrostie andJ. McKercher (Southland), Patrick Patullo and John Deans. 'Apologies were received for Messrs D. McLaren, A. C. Lang, 0. N. Orbell, and J. S. Holmes. The Chair man stated that the meeting had been paljed {x> pons'lder at* application to rein troduce tbe inspection clause, which had been expunged at the Tast meeting of the United North and South Ishnd Council. Letters were rpceiyed from absent coun cillors urging that it would be inexpedient to do so, giving their reasons for such advice. The Chairman jßinted out tbat even on the score of expense, if on no other, the work could not be efficiently carried out. It was decided that dupli cate entries should be sent to the local Committees who have been appointed to inspect them, and to report to the Council on or before the Ist of March, the local Committees to have the power to inspect any lock or rfocktf In 'their districts, should they think It desirable' to" dp aoj and, further, fy* Secretary was instructed to advertise ;n the local papers that copies j qf the entries from the various districts will be open for inspection by any breeder, and any objections raised will be fully considered by the Council, [Duplicate entries will be sent to the offices of the following Associations representing the flocks for the several districts:— Invercargill, Dunedin, Oamaru, Timaru and Qhlistchu.rch, The S«w»^ y re . potted that upwards of 200 flocks had been sent in for registration, embracing, with one or two exceptions, every flock of note in the South Island. He also reported that upwards of eighty flocks had heW registered with the North Island Secretary.* The following is a resume of the flocks sent in for registration :— Border Leicesters 60, English Lmcesterß 37,'Ilonineys 1%, Shropshire 18, Lincolne Si, merinos \2', othei? breeds 5 f entries |i|ti yet completed 20.

PonoE Offences. -Cases agaiosfc W. H. Uellins and John Orr for obstructing the footpath by leaving goods on the footpath in East street were dismissed and the offenders cautioned not to re peat the offence. Drunkenness.— William Davidson, for whom Mr Crisp appeared, waa chaiged, on the information of Thomas Bay man, with having been drunk and leaving his hotse unattended on the South Road. Thomas Hayman said he saw accused on the South Road, not fit to manage his horse. Witness and Jackson tock the horse out. Accused tried to yoke it up again bat could not do it properly. Ex aminedbyMr Crisp—Was a prohibitionist. Took a bottle of whisky out of accused's trap and gave it to the police —Richard Jackson, blacksmith at Willowby, saw Davidson at Tinwald ai.d saw him drive away by himself. Davidson was not fib to manage tho horse. Wit ness took the trap inside a gate and took the horse out. —F. Standish, etock manager at Longbeach, taid Davidson was a little the worse for drink, Suggested to Jackman the h' rse should be taken out and accused given an hour's spell. He <3ould walk very well, but could not; drive properly. He put the horse into the shafts after li had been taken oir. Could not say the man was drunk, as he cculd walk all right. Should nofc hare inter fered if he had known any prohibitionist fanatic was there, as he believed accused would have got on all right if let al^ne, j but might have been the better for a slesp.—Mr Crisp said he would show ac cused Davidson was not diunk, ard where he had been all the day ; that he had not been well, and had on'y had two brandies all day.—William Davidson, the accused, had been twenty-one years in the colony and nine years in his present em ploy. Got up at four a.m. and drove sheep eighteen miles to Westerfield. Had breakfast and a drink out of the water race. Went into Ashburton and pid some accounts. Went to Mr Thomas fjr i some twine for Holmes. Complained to Holmes of being bad. and went and had two glasses of brandy ; then drove straight to Tinwald with Holmes. Might have been ten minutes at Tinwald Hotel. Drank about half a glass of ginger ale. Remembered getting to Hampton's gate, but was very bad and remembered nothing more for three-quarters of an hour, when he came round and yoked up his horse and drove home. Remembered seeing Standish and Jackman, but not Hayman. Knew nothing about a bottle of whisky being in his trap. There was tobacso, but it was gone. Did not be lieva the whisky was ever there. Never lost two days on the spree since hq came into the country.—Thomas Holmes said Davidson was perfectly sober, about five o'clock in the evening, but said he was very unwell. Davidson had two brandies at the Royal and drove himself and Burne't over to Tin wald. He had ginger ale at Tinwald He left with Jackmau, who said he would see him along the road as he was bad. Knew nothing about a bottle of whisky, Nothing passed from the Tin wald Hotel to his trap —Bobert Burnett corroborated last witness.—The Sergeant stated the police knew nothing about cha case until it was reported to them a couple of days afterwards. —The S.M. said there was no doubt accused was not able to look after his horse, and hy admitted having a certain amount of liquor. He would be fined 20aand costs or seven days' imprison ment.

The Licensing Act.—-Michael Lag*n, licensee of the Tinwald Hotel, for whom Mr Crisp appeared, was charged with eeH ing a bottle of whisky to one William Davidson, he being in a state of intoxi cation. —The case arose out of the one just heard, and Eichard Jackman said of : Davidson that he was merry and under the influence of drink at the Tinwald Hotel. Did not know what he got. Saw a bottle of whisky in his cart. Did not know where he got it. Did not see it before he got to Hampton's gate. The Sergeant here withdrew the charge. Trade Mabk Case—W, B. Page was charged by F. W. Page with infringing his trade mark, and exposing goods baar ing the same for sale. Mr Outhb6rtson appeared for complainant, and Mr PurneU for defendant. The goods in question were the horse oils well-knowu in this county, and recognised as F. W. Page's preparation?. F. W. Page said he had cautioned his brother against using similar labels to his own. Had appointed his brother agent in Ashburton, and gave him commission on the wholesale price of 2ls per dcsißn, Told his brother he had registered the trade mark about fifteen months ago, about a week after regi"ter ing. Told him verbally, and by writing. His brother then promised to alter his label. On July 19 last found he was still using the label complained of, and in structed his solicitor to write and warn him. (Both labels were here put in.) The name "horse's friend* on his own labels was his own sugges inn.—Mr Par nell admitted the pale by W. C. Pyge of oils with the labels produced on them, and Mr Cuthberfcson put in the certificate of the Patent office, grancirg the uso of the trade mark.—Cro*s-examined by Mr Purne 1!— His father invented some oils, not horse oils, in England. Commenced making horse oils in 1890. His brother might have been making horse oils his knowledge. Believed his brother was making medicinal oils when he (F. W. Page) arrived in the colony. He had his father's recipe for this. Had sold the horse oils for two years befc re register ing the trade mark—a largo racehorse with F. W. Page on the body. The horse on his brothers label's was not like that in the certificate. Did not put the trade mark horse on the bottle, only on the wrapper. His brother told him he con sidered be had a right to uee the labels he used.—Mr Outhbertson here asked Pis Worship if he considered the label used by defendants was sufficiently like the registered trade mark to constitute an infringement of the rlghfc'. His Worship thought not, and Mr Cuthber|json thought he cpuld not go farther, and the charge was dismissed.

Civil CASES.T-The following cases were nndefended :—Mitchell and Turner v J. H. Smith £4 17s 7d ; v William Fawcett, £17s 7d ; and vF. Rodd, £119 a 2d.
