Londonderry Mine

IjONDON, Api '1 5 The directors of the Londondei ry mine, Coolgardie, are in receipt of cable grams stating that the rich shoots of ore in the mine are exhausted, 'the news caused a sensation in the mining market. It is probable that some of the promotion money will be returned. Shares are now quoted at fifteen j shillings.

Governorships

London, A pril 5 It lias bfan officially announced that Sir James Fergusson was offered the Governship of South Australia but declined the appointment. Itis reported that the position has been offered to Sir E. Grey, Under Secretary for the Foreign Office. Cecil Rhodes denies the statement that he is intriguing against Sir Henry Loch, and declares that when he left London for Capetown he was unaware of the Government's intention to ap point Sir Hercules Robinson as Go vernor of the Colony. Mr R. @. Munro Ferguson, MP. for Leith, and not Sir James Fergusson, declined the South Australian Gov ernorship,-

Leamington Election

London, April 5 The Conservative party in the Leamington constituency refuse to support the Speaker'&Jon George in the forthcoming election for the seat. The attitude of the party is due to anger at the rejection of Mr Montague Nelson's candidature by the Conservative leaders.

The Live Cattle Trde.

LosDoy, April 5 The steamer Buteshire, from Port Chalmers (February S) has arrived. Her live sheep have been landed in splendid condition. Only three died during the voyage. The ball ocks are mostly in excellent condition, but a few show signs of slight wasting Five died during the voyage. The animals fed well and the heavy beasts stood the, voyage particularly well. Eighteen of the bullocks are in excellent condition, and two middling. Another one was landed in a very bruised and wasted state, and had to be killed immediately, j The rest of the animals will probably be killed at Smithfield on Monday. j

The "Mafia" Again.

Kew Yoek, April 5 By an explosion in a drinking saloon in .New Orleans fifteen persons were killed and many injured. It is believed to be the work of the " Mafia " society, formed to avenge the lynching of the Sicilians in- prison in New Orleans in 1891.

THE COREAN WAR

Sh.vsgshai, April 5 The Chinese at Maiching tired on the Japanese officers who held the flag of truce with the view of communi cating in regard to the armistice. Five tr&wsport vessels crowd* d with cayalry and infantry left the seaport of Shimonosek', in Japan, ■■ before the armistice was arranged.

Owing to the fear of Japanese invasion, the Chinese in the southern part of Formosa are fleeing to the northern portion of the island, which is garrisoned by fifty thousand ex perienced, well found find well aimed troops. Additional booms and torpedoes have been laid for the protection of Swatow and Canton.

CHITRAL.

Calcutta, April 5 The Swatis swarmed on both sides of the Pass. Their shooting was wild, but if they had been armed with modern weapons it would have been impossible to dislodge them with the force at the disposal of the British General, The machine guns mowed them down by hundreds. The First Brigade has capturtd the Shatchot Pass Another Brigade is being prepared fpr service in Ohitral. „ Calcutta, April 5 The efforts of the troqps from Gilgit to force Masttfj Pass failed owing to the blinding snowstorm. Fifteen were killed on tho British side. Both brigades are at Malakund Pass, Ihe Ranizai tribesmen, defeated at the storming of Malakund, have since submitted to the British.

The Colonial Treasurer.

London, April 5 Th 3 Bon J". G. Ward delivered an informal address to the Colonial party in the House of Commons. Ho ad yocated preferential trade rates throughout ]the Empire, Imperial post age and a Pacific cable, providing thp last named is left to private enter prise.

LABOR

Newcastle, April 0 The miners' ballot has been com pleted. The secretary of the Miners' Association states that the two-thirds majority necessary for declaring a general strike has been secured, but .he is reticent as to details. This reticence leads to the belief that the supposition that non unionists working in the pits throw in their lof; with the Union has not been realised. If this ia so, several poliieries will not be afieeted by the strike, and there will not be a general stoppage of trade,

WATER AT COOLGARDIE

Perth, April 5 Good water has been struck in the Premier mine, at the twenty five-mile, and the Oonsella mine, at the ninety mile.

CAPTAIN CLOSE ACQUITTED

; SynNEy, April f> r4/he court-martial aequittpd Captain Close of the charge of seduction brought against him by the young woman Cummings, and also of sug gesting an illegal operation, but held ! him guilty of traducing the woman's character. The Executive, with whom the final decision rested, reviewed the iinding, and upheld the Court with regard to the acquittal, but quashed the finding of guilty- Captain Ckso wafy therefore, fully acquitted.

RABBIT CONFERENCE

!• yon by, April 5 At the Kahbit Co; f-ir^nce the Vic torian tU'leirato stated that his Govern m pn* ha lad >pted a. system of com pulsory and simultaneous destruction jof the pesb by means of loans to land-

holders through the Shire Councils. This plan worked well, and most of the money was repaid. He opposed the proposal to utilise the rabbits for com mercial purposes, as it would only conserve the pest. Canning did harm in the sama direction. The Conference negatived a proposal for opening up markets for the sale of rabbits in Eng land and Europe, but recommended their free carriage. It was resolved to favor the advance of money to land holders to erect wire fencing at the rate of four per cent., free carriage of fencing wire, reduction of pastoral rents in the rabbit infested districts, reclassification of the land and declara tion of 'all infested and likely to become infested districts.

IMPROVED PROSPECTS

Beisbane, April 5 The Premier, speaking at Longreich, said he expected that his estimated surplus of £50,000 would be exceeded. He was quite of opinion that the country had started on the up grade,

and that in a few years they might

j expect a wholesome recovery in all I industries. The development of the

wool and frozen meat trades promised to make the cattle stations some of the best assets in the colony.

Recent Discoveries of Ice Action.

Adelaide, April 6 Mr Howdira, who was appointed to investigate the recent discoveries of ice action made by Professor Tate a few miles from .Adelaide, read a paper on the subject before the Royal Geo graphical Society. He stated that his I investigations had not only thrown a new light on geological events, but had proved that the geological area existed to a much larger extent than was supposed. The ice age represented by the deposits must have been made at an earlier date than the glacial period which left such marked evi dences in the Northern hemisphere in the post-tertiary times, but he was still much in the dark as to when the Adelaide deposits were made. He proved that the ice sheet came from the South, travelling against the present lines of drainage. There was an indi cation of great changes in the interval, and probably the denudation of great mountain chains, of which the Mount Lofty ranges remain. He believed there was sufficient resemblance be tween the Victorian and Adelaide de posits to show that they belonged to the same great system of glaciation. ! Old moraines were traced for miles and proved to be of immense extent.

"KISS ME, JACK, AND LET ME GO."

Ooce, long ago, I was witness to a duel in California. The two men had been bosom friends, but had quarelled about (of course) a woman. Splendid fellows both—young, brainy, and ambitious. As they stood in a dear space among the pine trees near Sicramento, parie as lilies, steady as rocks, weipo'is in hand waiting for the word, the rising sun shining athwart the line of ■vision, they presented a picture, too often seen in 1856, The pistols cracked almost simultaneously. One man stood en et, evidently untouched ; the other fell upon his back aid lay straight aadstiil. Seconds, surgeons, and spectators rushed to his sidy. He was • ail there, 1 mind as well as body.

' ]STo, dou'e. disturb me,' he said coolly to the doctor, " I'm shot fatally and shall die in five minutes Cxll Jack and be quick.' Pistol stiil in hand, his antagonist came and bent over his erstwhile shum. Tho faxcite ment among the crowd was intense ; tha rlyiug man alone was calm. ' Jack, my darling old'boy,' he said, ' forgive me and forgive her Kiss me and let me go.' A minute more and he was dead, with Jack lying across his body, crying like a baby. After I have told you am.ther and very different story, I'll show wherein they teach

the same lesson. There is no tragedy in this one; never theless ifc is of wider human interest than the other. A woman had been ili more or less all her life. The details are common place enough, and yet they will appeal bo millions who care nothiDg for the jaalousies oi young men in love. ' At times,' she says, I suffered from pains at the back of the head, and a sense of weight, and felt tired and weary, yet it was not from work only. I had a strange feeling, too, of something hanging over me, as of some evil or danger that I could not explain or define.

fMy appetite was variable ; sometimes I could eat anything and again I could not touch any food at all. But I was never laid uj>, as it were.' Please note' the last sentence. It may seem like the weakest, but really is the strongest point in this lady's statement. We will tell you why in a moment. She goes on : " Still I was often in misery, but got along fairly well uutil August, 1890, when I had a severe attack of rheumatism. First the great toe of my right foot and the thumb of my right hand grew hob and pain ful. j?fier a time the trouble extended to my back and hips, I could not straighten myself; I was almost bent double. Month after month I was like this, getting little or no sleep at night. Medical treatment

proved of no benefit to me. In December, 1891, thepain almost Unite vie mad. My face ysriia gwpllen to nearly twice its natural size, and my eyes were so, covered by the enlarged Jids that I could scarcely see. There was a constant ringing in my ears, and the doctors "said I had erysipelas. (For days and days I could not walk across the fbor, and for some time I was able to move about only by taking hold of the

furniture or other objects When all other means had been tried and had failed, Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup was recommended to me. A single bottle did me a deal of good. I kept on with it, and Eoon was stronger and in better health than for forty years previously. I still take an occasional dose and continue in good health notwithstanding my age (48), and the ' change of life.' I tell everyone'what the Syrup/has done forme, and give you permission to publish what I have said. Yours truly (signed), (Mrs) Mar¥ Jane Milnes, 18, Walker's Hold ings, Brewery Lane, Thornhill Lees, near Dewsbury, Yorkshire, October 12, 1892.' Now for the lesson of both these incidents; what is it? .This; that it is not people in desperate extremities who suffer most. Pain is in proportion to the resistance to disease. Those who surrender, who are in despair, who give up, have present punishment large'.y. remitted. Dying persons are the most comfortable of all. Hopelessness and dissolution administer their own anodynes. Those who are not laid up, who are ill, and yet work and straggle, need pity and help. This lady was one, andto'subh 'Mother Spigel always proves a friend.

N.S.W. POLITICS.

[ ■ -• yi>X!.v. April 5 ( In the Legislative fi. s: c nbly las'. night, the Oonciliiitio!! and Aibif rat ion Bill was read a third time on a division by 31 votes to 9, and finally passed. Consideration of the amendments I made by the Legislative Council in the Land Bill was postponed. A numerously signed petition has been presented to, the Legislative Council against the Land and Income Tax Bill. The Herald, commenting on the third reading of the Conciliation Bill, says the measure was carried by less than a third of the members of the House. More than that number thought it not worth white to stay to secure it, and less than a thirteenth part of the House stayed to oppose a Bill so menacing to the security of important interests, those of capital in the first inatance J and those of labor secondly. This, it says, is a significant fact of the situation, and an equally significant question is, how are the very large number of members who did not vote to be regarded 1 For a large portion of them it is only possible to hold the belief that they opposed the principles of the measure, but had not courage to vote against it, and preferred to devolve the responsibility of dealing with the Bill on the Council. If, says the Herald, this supposition is correct, it puts the standard of courage, <sense and responsibility of the repre sentative Chamber in a deplorable light before the country.

An sight-year-old son of Mr Peter Gourdie's met with what may be a serious accident this morning through being struck or ron over by a traction engine. Dr Trevor is attending him, but. up tofhetiroo of our going to press the extent of the boy's injuries had uot been ascertained.

On Tuesday afternoon a man, who had had no f>od since Monday, vh>n he had one meal, and who?e boobs were worn out, cam^ before the Uenavi lent Trustees at Wellington. The Trustees fail they c >uld not cripe with all these cases of able bodiei met), and would have to hand them over to the Government. Meeting by meeting the number of unfortunates just now seemed to increase, and the meet ings of the Si ciety became more heart rending as story after story <>f misery, vice, or crime is unfolded to the Trustees. The l Jo;t concludes its rep rfc of the maet ir.g by siying :—' Ie would be good for some of our legislator*, who speak so glibly of sc cUI qu »stions and legislative panaceas, to spend an afcernonn at one of the Trustees' meetings.'

Mr W. S. ftfaslin, member for Rangitata, addressed his constituents in Geraldine last night. A vote of thanks and confidence was passed. Much of the address was taken up with explanations as to why he voted against Government on the details of measures while support ing them as a Liberal Government. He complained with some emphasis that Ministers do not take the party into their confidence a? much as they should, and fcaid that party government should be government by ihe patty, not by ministers followed by a party. Beform of this nature was better than electing an exe cutiva.
