LOKD KOSEBERY'S PROGRAMME.

London, January 19 Lord Rosebery, addressing 10,000 people at Cardiff, said the next session's programme will be a purely business one. Pending the elections the dis establishment of the Church of Wales will be taken first, and then measures dealing with the liquor traffic and the question of one man-one-vote, the Scotch Church Bill would also have attention. He said the payment of members would admit an abundance of •working men to the Houße of Commons. Regarding the measure to be intro duced dealing with the House of Lords, he declared it was not the intention to destroy the upper chamber, and that all that he wanted was a better adjust ment of relations with the House of Commons. 'J he Premier next referred to the motion tabled towards the end of the session, which, he said, hinted at a murmuring of discontent in the Liberal camp, and in connection with this he urged strong unity, as, if the Liberals were defeated at next poll, it would be more difficult to recover the position than formerly.

Inwurreetion In tlio Band -wfoli Islands.

San Francisco, January 22. News was received on the 19th that a number of Hawaiian natives resisted an attempt to search the houses of prominent royalists for arms. They fired on the search party, and killed Mr Charles Carter a member of the Legis lature. Afterwards the rising became serious. Ihe insurgents at first re pelled the regulars, but reinforcements were obtained and the rebels were pur- j sued into the brushwood, 500 captured, twelve killed, and many wounded. It is admitted that the leaders of the outbreak were Colonel Nowlin, of the Queen's Guards, and Wilcox, Jeadar of the revolution in 1887. Another band ef rebels were driven into an impasse, several were killed and the capture of the rest is invitable. The Queen has been placed under survellance. 26,000 Japanese are inclined to side with the royalists. Washington, January 22 Mr P. R. Hitt, republican member for Illinois, introduced the question of the Hawaiian revolution in Congress as an argument in favor of an Ameri can cable, opposing a conces sion to anything English, The President contended that the United States had no right to interfere with Hawaii, and declined to protect any American who attempted to overthrow the existing Government. The Senate ignored a motion simi lar to Hitts, and also one in favor of the annexation of Hawaii. London, January 22 The Hawaiian envoy in London de clares that the rising has been sup pressed.

Ihe JT.rencli Crisis

Pakis, December 23 The excitement over the election of President is quieting down. M. Faure is said to be strongly sympathetic with England. On January 20, M. Bourgeois was to "form a Cabinet, jn. succession to M. Dupuy, who resigned, £fe undertook the task, and gave forth m h|s programme pledges of concen tration and Republican union. He selected as colleagues M. Oavaignac, 'Minister' ofWarj M, Shumpu, Mini ster of Marine; M. Peytral, Minister of Public Works ', M. Poincaire, Mini ster of Finance ; M. Houstieux, Mini ster of Foreign Affairs. Two days later he announced that he was unable to complete his Ministry, and attributed his non-success to the fact that severa,! p| his colleagues objected %6 the prq gressive income tax. At the request of the President he renewed his efforts, but finally abandoned.the task yester day.

jL,ord Ornssscy.

London, January 18

At the Liberal Federation meeting Lord Brassey, replying to congratula tions expressed on his appointment to succeed Lord Hopetoun as Governor of Victoria, said he had accepted the office chiefly from a sense of public duty. He would do bis very best to serve the colony well snd promote cordial relations with England. [ January 24. I Lord Brassey, speaking at Roches ter, said that if the leaders in the House of Lords were prudent and discreet, that Chamber might not be required to be reformed for many years to come. Its attitude on the Irish Home Rule question, was, he thought, to a certain extent defensible, but its rejection of every Liberal measure compelled a review of its posi tion. The last straw was its rejection of the Evicted Tenants Bill. He approved of the payment of members of Parliament, and regarded the local veto as being in accordance with the spirit of the age, because it prevented the excessive number of licenses When absent in Australia his heart would always beat in unison with the Liberals in the old country. January 19. It is reported that Lord Brassey refused the £800 allowed for his out fit, holding that his property in Australia would benefit by his presence in the colonies.

Bogus Cablegram*.

The/c are not very many readers of the Christchurch Star in Ashburton. In the nature of things an evening paper that only reaches the town at eight o'clock cannot find many purchasers. But hitherto that paper has been looked upon as a highly respectable journal, tryiug to do good work in its day and generation. This reputation it did much to injure last night by publishing a number of bogus cablegram?. Taking ad vantage of the break in the cable it piled up the agony with " Latest cablegrams," announcing the fall of Pt kin, the capture of the Chinese amperor, some extraordinary news about a revolution in France, and what Britain meant to do in Armenia This may do all very well for a joke "limited in its effect to half a dozen people, but when a journal circulating ia a large city like Christchurch is so far left to itself as to in dulge in tomfoolery of the kind, and lend its countenance to hoaxing its whole round of subscribers, it cannot complain it it loses ground in public esteem. The editor who played that trick upon his readers simply does not know his business, and the outrage upon all the traditions of the Star is enough to make the bones of William Reeves and John Hebden turn in their coffins.

COMME RCIAIj

Brisbane, January 24 The Stock Conference estimates that the present system of branding depreciates the value of hides by £300,000 annually. Sydney, January 24 Despite the absence of information as to the state of the London market, the local wool sale 3 continue brisk. One of the features of the week was the recipt of 1200 bales from Albury. Hitherto the clip from that district has passed down to Melbourne. Although a very fine sample of merino fleece, it only sold up to B|d. Crossbred fleeces realised the same figure. Merino lambs were passed in at 9d. The Sydney Morning Herald considers there is a likelihood of the wheat export trade from Australia being limited this year, in consequence of the scarcity of wheat of good shipping quality. Melbourne, January 24 The Argus t commenting on the summary of the frozen meat trade issued by Shaw, Savill and Co., says it is evident the froaen beef trade in New Zealand is not a sucoess, as Queensland is able to ship far mor« cheaply, London, January 24. Professor Bryce, President of the Board of Trade, speaking at Salisbury, urged British farmers not to leave the dairy in dustries to foreigners and colonists.
