A Serious Outbreak

London, November 21 Reports from Lagos, West Africa, state that Captain Bower the British resident at Yoruba ; has been killed, and the King ordered his residence to be destroyed by fire.

The outbreak in the native kingdom of Yoruba, on the west coast of Africa, is of a serious character. The pariy under Captain Bower, who was killed, afterwards shot a number of the leaders of the revolt. The Governor of Lagos is sending reinforcements to the scene of disorder.

Affairs in Turkey.

London, November 20 Lord Salisbury said there was no want of sympathy among the European powers for the position in which the Sultan was placed, but the Turkish laws were not sufficient to enable good government to be maintained and competent Governors were essential to success. A magician's wand could not cure the diseases, which in England were looked upon as the result of long years of error. * w -»t i ni

Paris, November 21 The French Press approves of the Sultan's message to Lord Salisbury.

Constantinople, November 21 M. Nelidofi, the Russian Ambassador, | has assured the Armenians resident in Constantinople that the danger of further outbreaks has passed ; but he has also advised the Armenian leaders in the provinces to abandon the hope that the Great Powers will intervene with Turkey.

The Embassies have insisted that additional measures shall be taken by the Porte to preserve order in Anatolia. It is reported that Great Britain is sending four more Consuls to Armenia.

The Great Powers each require an additional gunboat at Constantinople,

The Liberator Cases.

London, November 21 Jabez Balfour has been found guilty on the first charge of embezzlement, and sentence is postponed.

All the accused in the charges arising out of the Liberator Building Society frauds were found guilty, with the exception of Dibley, in whose case the jury were unable to agree. The charges on' which Jabez Balfour, Brock, and Theobold have been found guilty are in connection with land allotment, false reports, and cooked balance-sheets, The defence was that the values had to be altered owing to the depression in trade. Five other charges have yet to be heard.

The Melbourne Tragredy.

Melboukne, November 21 The Inspector of the Commercial Bank states that when he examined the books of the Sale branch in Sep tember last he spoke to Short about not being so attentive to business as he bad been previously, or as his position required. The matter was reported to the head office, which drew Short's attention to the complaint subse quently; but he still failed to comply with the requirements of his position as manager of the Bank. The Inspector was on the point of again visiting the Bank when the tragedy occurred. Short might have been troubled in hia mind over these proceedings; but, certainly, the report made, or the in formation asked for, was not of such a nature as to cause the committal of the tragedy. The Bank books are now being examined.

The Sheridan Case.

Sydney, November 21 The Judge, in directing the jury in the Sheridan case, poinied out that though in ordinary cases of murder wilfulness must be shown, in this case there was a special definition. Sheridan was charged with maliciously causing the death of the young woman; but malice had a special significance in this charge. The law bearing on the matter meant that the act must be obviously j dangerous to human life. If the jury were satisfied that the offence had been committed recklessly, wantonly, or with obvious danger to life, they must bring in a verdict of murder.

Australian Politics.

N EW SOUTH WALES

Sydney, November 21 A resolution was adopted by the House in favor of holding a Conference with the Council re the Land and Income Tax Bill.

It is officially stated that Mr Chamberlain has not stopped prepara tions for the expedition to Ashantee. He declined to negotiate a treaty with the envoys, and told them it must be settled with tne Governor of the Gold Coast.

Sugar Beet

Sydney, November 22 The Government statistician, report ing on the growth of sugar beet, says, regarding the tests of roots grown for experimental purposes in different districts, that experts pronounce the yields unparalleled in the history^ of the cultivation of beet, and there is a general development of cropping where the soil is unsuited for sugar cane, Should cultivation fulfil but half the expectations of the promoters there is little doubt it will greatly modify agriculture in .the colony, and add another profitable staple to its re sources. Mr Cooghlan also reports there are very large areas suitable to grow beet

August 22, 1894 To Mr F- Ferriman, Ashburton— Dear Sir,—ln reply to your inquiry re Joseph Ford'a Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture, I have used this Mixture for two or three years when my sheep showed signs of scour or lung-worm. I may say, I found it a cure, and the result, was beyond my expectation. lean Btrongly recommend the drench.—Youra truly, Samuel White. Mota Tapu, Auckland, August 15, 1893 To Messrs Buckland and Sons— , Gentlemen,—We have used six tins of.Ford's Scotland Lung-Worm Mixture, on both calves and sheep, and it has given us every satisfaction. We consider it the beat and most economical mixture that we have tried.—Yours truly, Reid Bros 1 Orari Gorge, Woodbury. May 26, 1892 To Mr D. Thomas, Ashburton— Dear Sir,—About three weeks since, I obtained fire two-gallon tin* of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture for about 1500 half bred lambs that were scouring very bad and going back sadly. They have now been drenched about a fort night, and have decidedly improved. The scour stopped, and I have only lost two lambs since. I feel convinced, if I hadfnot used it I should have had a heavy loss.—Yours truly, . 0. G. Teipp. To Mr R. Wellwood, Hastings,— X c Mats; Dear Sir,—The two tins of Ford's Lung-Worm Mixture I got from yoa were a great success. I used it on a flock of very weedy hoggets and the effect was simply magical; not one died, and the whole lot improved so much that you would hardly know them for the same sheep in a month's time.—Youra truly, J.

Eiffelton, January 20, 1894 Mr Ferriman, Ashburton, — Dear Sir, —My crossbred lambs were suffering so badly from the lung-worm and scour (both) that I had forty deaths ia a flock of 350. After one drenching with Ford's Mixture, the 310 to my astonishment, improved beyond anything I have ever seen. Only two deaths occurred after drenching and these two were almost dead when drenched. The Mixture paid me well and I would advise any one to use it.—Willson Ckosskell. , Doric, January 16, 1895 Mr F. Ferriman, Ashburton— Dear Sir,—My sheep haying derived much benefit from using Joßeph Ford's Lung-Worm Mixture, I think it only due to you that you should know that it was very effective, and I can confidently recommend it to any farmee whose sheep are not thriving.
