He thought, however, that this tplitting the diffdrence on the part of th" Government was the most inglorious termination to Saturday evening's performance that could possibly be witnessed. He hoped that members who were ia favor of 20 per cent would not allow themselves to be talked over by the Government to vote for 22£ per cent, which wa^ an excessive duty Mi* MoLachlan thought that 22 J per oeni. was a very reasonable compromise. There had been no caucus of Government supporters on the subject ; members hid met together in the whip's room that morning in an informal manner, and after talking the matter o?er had agreed that 22| per cent, was a fair compromise. The proposal had not emanated from the CJolonial Treasurer or from any other member of the Government Several other members who were present bore out Mr McLacblan in this statement. In the course of the discussion, which lasted nearly three hours, the Premier mentioned that as a result of private mem bers tinkering wifh the tariff the Govern ment would have to recommit the Bill to reconsider the fruit duty, as the wrong months had been selected during which the doty should be lowared On a division on th» boot item the words * twenty-five per cent' were struck oat by 49 to 17 Mr Masaey's amendment lo substitute 20 per cent was then pat and lost by 39 to 27 The following is the division list:— Ayes—27»—Allen, Bell, Buchanan, Buick, Button, Carncross, Crowther, Duthie, Fraser, Graham, Green, Hall- Jones, Heke, Lang, T McKenzie.

He also pointed oat th^t the custom house men charge a duty on photo-

Mr Willis KUggeuted as a compromise that a duty of ten par cent be placed on works of art over £50 value.

After a abort discussion the Minister In charge* said that when a person Imported expensive pictures or works of arb for hia own uae he should be prepared to pay duty on them Mr Collins was ia sympathy with the mover, but: in the face of duties betrg imposed ob so mapy of the necessaries of life, he could not tote for the motion ' After a short discuauion Mr Montgo mery's amendment waa lost by 32 to 10 ' Capta'ti Rusaell moved that the duty on the whole bo reduced from twenty per cent to fifteen percent, which', he ex plained was the'dhty u.nder the old tariff" :" ! ■" " The amendment was lost by 39 to 12

SAME STORY EVERYWHERE.

In Ashburton as in every other town and aity in the world, when Warner's Safe Cure was first introduced people shook their heads and would hardly believe when they heard of the cures from long-standing biliousness, jaundice, indigestion, or kidney disease effected through its use. Now the army of beHevers is daily increasing, and you can hardly turn without meeting one who owes life and health to the virtue of this remedy T)o we believe them 1 How can we help doing so ? Here they are, and thousands of letters like the following are enough to make the strongest sceptic hesit-ate before crying down something l"c has not tried Bead this fetter from Miss Maude Whyte, Forest Lodge, Sydney. Do you think for one moment tbat tins "conscientious lady would misrepresent facts so important to the general public ? Then weigh carefully her experience and let it guide you. She " rites " In some th^ga it Jakes a deal of pergu&sioll' and even demonstration, to secure my faith, and one oi these was Warnsr's Safe Cure. I had heard about it from friends and acquain tances quite a number of times, but could ne\ rer be induced to try it, supposing it to be what ia commonly called a « quark medicine ' until, when exceedingly ill from an attack due to inactivity of the liver, a lady friend put a bottle into my hand and said, 'There try that.' I did try it and with the toost surprising results ; for even after the first dose the heavy, kneuid feeling % had experi enced began to disappear. I was soon aWe to get abcub, being quite free trom all liver weakness After such a happy experience I am only too glad to testfy to the efficacy of this medicine, and I would further recom» mend ladies suffering as I was to take a few >of Warner's Safe Pills, which greatly aid the 1 effpacy of Warner's Satt Cwre. ■

A Visitor's Opinion of Us

Fr«d VJlHcrs' criticism,

Sydney, September 24 Mr F. Villiera, the war corres pondent, interviewed upon his visit to New Zealand, said it struck him the people^ were not so happy as when he last visited the country sixteen years ago. The women's franchise he con siders a mistake. He sees no objection to wo?nen really possessing a stake in the country having a vote, but does not agree with the one-woman-one-vote principle. The Liquor Bill, especially the clause dealing with the closing of Clubs at the same time as hotels, he considered an unwarrantable interfer ence with the liberty of the subject. Speaking generally, the colony had not fulfilled the great future he anticipated for it on his previous visit, The country was lovely, the people charm ing, and nature had done everything for the place, Man alone was trying to ruin it. He had returned with a stronger belief than ever that an unpaid Parliament is the most perfect form of government.

THE PEARY ARCTIC EXPEDITION

St John's, September 21

Gruesome accounts have been re ceived of the straits to which Lieutenant Peary and his party were put, The party were so far reduced that, after eating dogs, which are said to have* been frozen standing, they were compelled to abandon their project. The scientific results of the expedition were fairly successful.

Lieutenant Peary spent the winter in hunting and carrying stores to the edge of the inland ice-cap of Greenland, He steered northward from Bowdoin in April, and reached Independence Bay, but was unable to find a ton and a half of provisions stored there in 1894, owing to the snow. He was short of food and medicines, and was unable either to advance or return, whereupon the Esquimaux with him deserted. A herd of musk oxen averted starvation, and he was com pelled to return. Be marched one hundred miles per week, and reached 8000 ft above the sea level. The suffer ings of the party were awful. Lee early became ill, and was conveyed in a sledge. He subsisted on raw seal, walrus and reindeer flesh. The strong dogs ate the weaker ones, and the members of the expedition killed the remainder. The party then dragged the sledges themselves till compelled to abandon them. Before they reached the r§3cue steamer Kite they subsisted on coal oil. Peary's negro servant, Henson, was faithful to him. to the last.

The relief expedition secured a quantity of flora- and fauna, also two of the finest meteorites in the world.

The Fruit Duties.

Sydney, September 24

In reference to the fruit duty the Sydney Morning Herald says, as the New Zealand Government is intent on its treaties, perhaps the increased duty on an article so largely supplied by -\ ustralia is not unconnected with the preferential treatment proposed to be accorded to South Australia. It is to be hoped New Zealand will not insist on the increase especially when New South Wales is on the point of remov ing barriers to intercolonial exchange.

'It is such a simple thing and so common thot very few people, unless it is a case of pneumonia, pay any attention to a cold. There are a great many cases of catarrh and consumption which have their origin in this neglect of tho simplest precaution of everyday life.
