Victorian Politics.

Melbourne, January 21 Having received an assurance that the Legislative Council will pass the Income-tax Bill and a Bill providing for tliß reduction of thfl Govern ment subsidy to loc.il bodies, the Premier has arranged to prorogue Parliament on Friday <o enable him to attend the Hobart conference.

UNKNOWN

Melbouhnf, J >i vary 21 What is practically an inaugural public meeting in connection with the Australasian Ffderal League will be heH on Wednesday, and will be attended by the Premiers of New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria. It is understood that Mr Reid, of New South Wales, will make the principal speech.

GUBERNATORIAL

Melbourne, January 21 Although it has been officially announced that Lord Brassey will succeed Lord Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria, there is now some doubt whether he will accept the position, owing to the action of Legislative Assembly in reducing the salary of the office to £5000 per annum. A cable of a confidential nature was received from Home through the Governor. Its con tent s have not been allowed to transpire, but the Premier will ask the House to re- ( consider its decision, significantly re marking that unless this is done he fears the Imperial Government will have some difficulty in getting a suit able man for the office.

The Telegraph.

Adelaide, January 21 The interruption on the Port Darwin telegraph line was caused by heavy floods at Warrina, north of Strangways •prings, where the river is now running a mile wide. The lineman after being in the water five hours succeeded in getting a wire across, but as he was about to have it clear of the water it caught in a snag, and operations had to be suspended owing to darkness setting in. An effort will be made to get the wire hoisted clear of the water early today. Perth, January 21 The northern telegraph line is still Interrupted,

An Untoward Accident.

Albany, January 21 While the P. and 0. steamer Hima laya was in harbour on Saturday, the salt water pipe from the condensing engine burst, causing a rapid inflow of water which could not be stopped for some time. All the pumps were set going, but there was about five feet of water in the hold before repairs were effected. The weight of the water caused the vessel to settle down con siderably, with the result that her keel was within a few inches of the ground, and had she grounded she would probably have capsized. The steamer proceeded on her voyage after the water had been pumped out.

Revenue of the colony

Wellington, January 20. With reference to the telegram sent en Friday that the New Zealand Tiuvs placed the deficifcfor nine months ab £84,173, Mr Ward sends the following memo, to the Press Association:—' I may state that the condition of the finances clearly indicates that there is nothing in the annouueed deficit. The fact is apparently overlooked that in computing my estate for the year 1894-95,1 reduced the estimated receipts by £133,538. The receipts of every department, except railways an 3 Customs, are in excess of the actual amount received hsb year, and I have no hesitatbn in saying that my forecast will be fully realized/ The excesses from the various departments will, I feel sure, more than make up the estimated shortage from railways and Customs.'

The Catholic schools are announced to re-open on Monday, January 28. Vrohdeacon Williams was yesterday consecrated Bishop of Waiapu. There were present the Bishop of Auckland, acting' Primate, Bishop Mules of Nelson, Bishop Julius, ofChriatchurch, and Bishop Wilson, cf Melanesia, and a large number of local and visiting clergy. The Cathedral was crowded in every part, m*ny extra feats having to be provided. Bishop Mules preached the sermon. The dairy-farmers of Taranaki are petitioning the Government to suspend the operation of the clause making the grading of butter compulsory. They complain that they have sustained heavy loss by the grading of butter in Welling ton. Mr Hone Heke is at present engaged in compiling a series of Maori legends and an account of some of the circumstances! which led to the war with the celebrated Hone Heke, known as the Northern War of 1845. These, he states, have never ' before been published. H. M. Wollstein a Timaru boy, a lieutenant in the A Rifles, Clirittchurch, who gained an Imperial Commission, haa been ordered by cable to join the Ist Scottish, in India, immediately. A- boy named Cooper jumped off a tram car while in motion at New Brighton this morning. He fell and the car passed over his left arm and leg crushing both badly, and injuring the right arm and leg also. Amputation of the Injured limbs was per formed bat the unfortunate boy died at the Hospital at 10 o'clock last night. The Half-holiday Conference for Ash barton, Hampstead and Tindwald met to day. Present, MessrsJ.Sealy,G.Andrews* and E. Gates, and decided upon Thursday afternoon. Thursday will thus be the holiday throughout Canterbury, while Otago appears to be likely to be almost or quite unanimous In favour of Wednesday.

Cuet, September 8, 1890. Mr Walker Sir,— I have great pleasure in testifying to the wonderful cure f-ffected on my knee by using your London Rheumatic Cube.

I rubbed them we 1! with the Cure, sni can now do my sewing, kniUiDg, and bouso work as fresh as ever. It is marvellous ! My neighbors are astonished at me, and I advice them all to use the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE for all their complaint e. You can use this as you please, Mbs Andbew Gabd'ser, Sefton, October 21, 1890. I hereby bear testimony to the great relief go by using the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE. I was Buffering terrible pain in my shoulders with rheumatism, preventing me from workiDg and sleeping. I used one bottle, and am thankful to say the pain has gone. I believe it is a remedy everyone should have in their possession. I naver had its equal. P. Behrym n. Springbank, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right !o add my testimony to the wonderful effects he LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE. , I bave suffered with chilblains for years. I tried everything, but never got be ter.

I had a very sore back, and was suffering with rheumatics, both of which have been completely cured by its use. I have also cured my neighbors of their rheumatism, sprains, chilblains and Bore throats. It has no equal; everyone should use it. Mbr McOausland. Springbank, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. Mr Walker, Dear Sir,-I can testify to the wonderful cure I got by using the LON DON RHEUMATIC CURE. I was suffering badly with rheumatics in my hands and wristd ; the back of my hand was badly dis colored. I rubbed them well with the Core, and am thankful to tell you they are quite batter, Thomas ClAncett Ashburton, 0 tober, 1893. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is a remedy worthy to bs praised. I took rheu matic fever and was a good while in the hands of the doctors; at last it seemed all to lodge in my ankle. I had to walk with a oiuioh and stick. The doctor at last advised me to go to Christchuroh and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there seemed no oura for me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and got one bottle, and before i: wae done I was able to lay aside my st cks and to resume business, and have bad no trouble since. It is a valuable remedy I can highly recommend it, as I believe it baa no equal. D. MACPHER3ON. Lower High Street, Ohristchuroh, May 1893 I have keen a sufferer from Chilblains since a boy; my bands broke out' every winter, and my feet ware bo bad that on Saturday eights I had to fill my boots at the srteßian and stand in this till shutting time I tried everything, but never got a cure. was advised this winter to try the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and to my astonish ment and delight it healed my wounded hands, relieved my suffering feet, and for the first winter I can remember kept me free from suffering. I can recommend it with a!! con fidence to those suffering with Chilblains. J W Ripb Sod by all Storekeepers Wholesale Agent for Colony R. "WALKER, Woplston Canal Rflnerve.

[ADVERTISEMENT J TO THE EDITOR. CSIR, —The gaspipo exploded ! and what *3 a pitiful exposition of utter conceit, impudence, pompousness, thorough cowardice, contemptible meanness, la mentable insincerity, and shuffling 1 Will D.T. ever learn to think before he acts. This daring and dangerous but to our mind childish challenge of his about call ing a meeting of faimers, etc , is another clear evidenco of the hollowness of the man. After he has spent pounds and pounds in trying to pub his case before 'he public, through the columns of your pipera, he wakes up.at last to find that he has failed, and is still anxious to make a further exhibition of himself, A vestry man, a Synodsman, a member of racing clubs, a * guardhn of public morality,' he finda his conscience pricking him respect ing tha many falsehoods he has written. But let m remind him of the story of the truthful (1) boy, who called wolf, wolf, wolf, etc. No use Mr D.T. trying to whitewash yourself on a public platform. And now, good-bye, Mr D.T., you must be the devil you refer to in your last letter. You ought to practice what you preach, and not show your face again in Ashburton. We won't have anything more to do with you. So good-bye again. Go and challenge Mr Isitt; he is the man for you. Yours truly, Friedlander Bros. Ashburton, January 21, 1895. 1119
