LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Wellington, Occober 4 The Council met at 2 30 THE CHINESE QUESTION

A motion by Mr Bolt, thab bhe evidence taken before the Public Petitions Com mittee, relative to the Chinese question, be printed, caused some discussion Several members objected to the publica tion of the evidence, as it was sensational, while others urged its publication for that very reason. Ultimately the motion was lost by one vote Mr Rigg *hen gave notice to move that in the opinion of tha Council the Chinese are undesirable immigrants SECOND HEADINGS The Chattels Transfer Acs Amendment Bill and the Margarine Bill were read a second tfme

IN COMMITTEE The Council went into Committee on the Alcoholic Liquors Bill, but after the short title had been passed progress was reported till Tuesday PINAL STAGES The Coal Miners Ant Amendment Bill, the Public Domains Act Amendment Bill were put through their final stages At 440 the Council adjourned til Tuesday,

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, October 4 The House met at 2 30. * ADVANCES TO SETTLERS

Mr Ward moved the second reading of the Government Advances to Settlers Act, 1894. He said it was pro posed to reconstitute the Board, nob be cause Government had any dissatisfaction with the Board, but to enable a less num ber to form it. He explained that although the whole of the money set apart under the Act for advances had not been wed by the settlors, there were still a large number of applications for advances, and a*, that had been the means of considerably reducing interest he felt sure that the Act would confer great bene fit on the colony generally. Sir Robert Stout said ib was absurd to contend that thia Act had lowered interest, when interest was being reduced all over the world. He much preferred to see the board remain as it was under the present Act. The debate on the Bill occupied the whole afternoon, and was interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment. The House resumed at 7 30 p.m. SECOND READINGS

After further debate the second reading of the Government Advances to S, tfelerw Act Amendment Bill was agreed :o t n the voices The Mining Act Amendment Bill was read a second time on the voices and referred to the Qold field* Committee IN COMMITTEE

The Land and Income Assessment Act Amendment Bill was committed

In the interpretation clause Mr Hone Heke objected to the taxing of native lande under the Bill and moved to omit native land from the clause

Mr Ward offered as a compromise 'o reduce the rates on native lands under the Bill by one-haif Mr Hone Heke accepted the compro mise

On clause 3 a long discussion took place on tho proposal to make the land and income tax a permMPnt tax, the genet al opinion as expressed by those who spoke being hosti'e to to the proposal on tbe ground that it wa* not desirable to keep the tax an annual one

Mr Montgomery moved to strike out that portion of the clause which made tbe tax a permanent one After considerable discussion Mr Ward expressed his willingness to take the voice of the Fouse on the amendm nt

Eventually the amendment was carried on the voices, and clauses 3, 4 and 5 were struck out in order to give effect to the wish of the House in the direction of re-' tainiog the tax as an annual tax Clause C, land tax to be paid on native Und occupied by others than Maoris. After considerable discussion on the question of taxation of native land, Mr Ward moved to am?nd the clause to pro vide that native land occupied prior to the passing of this Act to be liable to half the duty of the land tax, bot after the passing of the Act to the full amount o. the working ordinary duty, but in neither case to be subjected to the graduated tax After further discussion Mr Ward moved to report progress on the Bill. He said that the compromise he had madehad been received in such a way thab he felt justi fied in withdrawing and reporting progress The motion was agreed to At 1 a.m. the House rose till 7 30 p.m. on Monday.

Constantinople, October 3.

The recent outbreak is believed to be part of a general rising planned by the Armenians six months ago, and hinted at at the time. It is feared tho Turkish fanatics, in revenge, may at tack the Europeans, especially as the police are not likely to be able to Control them. A section of the Armenians are taking refuge in the churches. Said Pasha, Minister for Foreign Affairs, has been dismissed, and Kismil Pasha appointed in his place.

In view of the uncertain pros pects elsewhere, the General is inclined to go back to his first love—-South Africa—where a private individual has presented the Salvation Army with twenty thousand acres, ai*' beautifully situated in a district en joying a fine climate. One of General Booth's latest proposals is to establish a Native Oolony in South Africa with a view to training theco for Salvationist officers and soldiers.

i ATTACK ON A TAMWORTH LADY. UOW IT OCCURRED — HER DESCRIPTION OF THI CIRCUMSTANCES, AND THE OVERWHELM ING TESTIMONY OF PROMINENT WIT NESSES. Mis Matheson's statement of thisferocious attack is so extraordinary that some readers might think it incredible, or that she was deceived by appearances, but her lamentable, condition was admitted by her local doctor, and corroborated by the physician in charge at the Electric Baths in Sydney, and her sufferings were witnessed by all of her immediate friends and neighbors. Conse quently it is not to be wondered at that our interviewer left her thoroughly convinced of the truth of her statements, which should be placed before the public. In fast, what she suffered and endured—her narrow escape from death—is the talk of the town, and her home has been beseiged by friends offering congratulations. Her own statement, made July 16, 1894 :— * It is now five years since I had occasion to use any kind of medicine, having been cured at that time of a very loDg and severe illness by taking Warner's Safe Remedies. The complaint I suffered from was muscular rheumatism ; my neck, arms, legs, and back were much swollen and stiff. I could not turn my head or lift my arms, neither cculd I move myself into a sitting posture. The kidneys were also in a very bad state, the pains in the back most excruciating, appetite feeble, and my con dition altogether helpless, My friends did not expect that I could possibly live. I had spent my pounds in advice and prescriptions, all to no benefit, and also underwent a month's treatment at the Electric Baths in Sydney, but returned worse than ever, and without any hope of getting about again; At this juncture a medical p imphlet containing \ theaccount ofaremarkable cure by Warner's I Safe Remedies in the case of a gentleman who3e symptoms were similar to my own j was given me. I resolved at once to com mence with a course of Safe Cure and Safe Rheumatic Cure alternately, and was delighted to find some relief from the first two bottle?. Persevering until I had taken seven bottles, and one bottle of Safe Pills, I ' became free from all aches and pains, and able to eat and sleep well and help myself without any assistance wha'ever. To this day I have had no return of the complaint. Many friends and neighbors are ready to | vouch for the truth of this statement, for ! they say th<jy never expacted me to be about among them again, and were greatly sur prised that any medicine could do what the S ife Remedies have done for me. I have lived in the colonies forty-five years, and raised a family of nineteen children, and am well known throughout the district of Tam wortb, where my unexpected recovery has caused quite a sensation.'

Holloway's Pxlls and Ointment —The most effectual Cure for Gout and Rheumatism —A frequent cause of these complaints is the inflamatory state of the blood, attended with bad digestion, lassitude, and great debility, showing the want of a proper cir culation of the fluid, and that impurity of the blood greatly agravates these disorders. Holloway's Pills are of so purifying a nature that a few doses taken in time are an effec tual preventive against gout and rheumatism but anyone that has an attack of either should use Holloway's Ointment also, the powerful properties of which, combined with the effects of the Pills, ensure a certain cure.

I Ashburton, October 2, 1895 mo DAVID THOMAS, ESQ, Dear Sir,—Hearing that the English woolbuyers are bringing pressure to bear i for the purpose of having the Ashburton wool sales di_continued (which have been successfully conducted during the last eleven years), we beg to request that you will call a Meeting of the Ashburton Farmers and others interested for the purpose of ventilating the question and arriving at a definite understanding of the position, as we feel sure the buyers are not acting in our Interests. Boy cotting our sales conclusively proves this. ; —We are, dear sir, yours etc.—Peter Doig, Edward Corbett, Mrs J. Eliza Corbetfc, James Wilson (Dromore), J. McQuillan, Dan, Brick, and others. JN COMPLIANCE with the above J_ Requisition, I hereby ask the Farmers to meet at the ARCADE on SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1895 &t three o'clock, for the purpose of considering the "WOOL SALE QUESTION" or any other which may be introduced for our mutual benefit. DAVID THOMAS, - 10 19 Convener JE4XJLJEL cB Hydropathic Sanatorium, ASHBURTON. OAN RHEUMATISM BE CURED . THIS is a universal complaint. By soma it is considered to rest merely in the blood. Others think the cause of Pain, Inflammation, and Swelling ia owing to the sheaths of the Mujcles and Nerves wanting the required serum derived from the blood, which is necessary to lubricUe the sheaths of the muscles and nerves. Rheumati.m will never be cured while ( the tongue is red or furred, showing chronic Inflammatory action in the muc >ua membrane lining of the stomach, liver, and bowels. OUR REMEDY for this Complaint consists of Fomenting, Steaming, Sweat ing, Rubbing, Blistering, and Bandag ing in their different forms, and WK NEVER FAIL TO CURE. Avoid ill Stimulants, Ale, Porter, Spirits, , Medicine or Tcbacc ..>; little animal food. i These precautions and treatment would save thousands from a painful existence. w. hHrule.
