Imperial Parliament.

London, February 15 In the House of Commons, Mr Clancy's amendment to the address-in reply—that an amnesty be granted to dynamiters — was rejected by 188 rotes.

Sir W. Vernon Harcourt warmly complained of the number of such amendments, and pointed out that when Guy Fawkes attempted to destroy the House of Commons by the gun powder explosion people did not descriminate as to whether it was a political or ordinary offence. i

In the Lords the Premier said Government would undertake the construction of the Uganda railway when the moment was opportune. Negotiations were proceeding with those interested in the territories ■which the railway would traverse. i

The Marquis of Salisbury urged promptitude, owing the fear of loaing the markets thbre in view of the energy of other powers. The Right Hon. Joseph Chamber lain, in moving his amendment said he desired to lay bare the tactics of the Government. If, he said, the Govern ment believed the country favoured Home Rule they would have struck a greater blow at the House of Lords by appealing to the country than the pro posed resolution which he urged the Government to submit forthwith. The Government, he declared, was totter ing, and should not shrink from the inevitable plunge. Speaking to the amendment, a member of the Government said Home Rule at present was not a vital ques tion, arid while the Government had the confidence of the House of Com mons they were determined to fulfil their pledges to the electors. It is expected that the division will be taken on Monday. The Hon. Joseph Chamberlain de clares there is no doubt that a general election would return a large majority in faror of autonomy for Ireland, but there is, he says, no genuine agitation in Ireland, although a levy of four pence per head has been made to meet the needs of the Nationalists.

In the House of Lords, speaking ■with regard to the Uganda railway, Lord Salisbury said that the enormous growth of protection iv France, Ger many, and America had everywhere choked British commerce, and de manded the construction of the pio posed railway, as it would open up new territory. London, February 17 Lord Salisbury, speaking in London, said if the Ministry appeal to the country on other issues besides home rule, and not on home rule alone, the Lords will not be such idiots as to pay any attention to the result of such an appeal.

Lord Kiroberley declines to inter fere with the right o! English vessels to act as transports for French troops to Madagascar.

Newcastle, February 18 Mr Ourley, secretary of th« Miners' Association, advised the Greta miners, who have been on strike for many months, to return to work on the best terms obtainable. He said the As sociation is hopelessly beaten, and the funds totally exhausted. The Lodges refuse to collect the necessary levies. The miners accepted his advice, but the company refused to recognise them as a lodge, and will only deal with the men. individually.

There are further signs of disrup tion. The men employed in the New castle coal pits have decided by a large majority to secede from the Union, and so desirous are the unionist miners, lately employed on co operative work, of obtaining employment, that they have made an offer to the Company to cut coal at from 4d to 6d less than the price paid to non-unionists.

fM AbAßukiOW CittAiiDi^: MoSM¥; FEBRUAKY 18, 1888.



The Dunedin Evening: Star of Friday has the following:—Mr Harry Gdodraan, of the Forbmy, has just received news of the death by drowning of Edgar Edwards, who for about six years was employed as head lad in the stable, and left some four years apo for Sydney. ' Ted,' as he was known, hid recently gone with a drover named Symmons to drive a mob of sheep in North-west Australia, and it is from Mr S. R. L. Elliot, the manager of Mardee Station, near Roeburn, that the news comes. Edwards, it appeal's, wa3 found drowned in a pool on Christmas Day. From appearances he had taken a header into the water, intending to have a swim, and got stuck in the coarse weeds at the bottom. led is highly spoken of by Mr Goodman, who has undertaken to Bend on particulars to the decease's mother, a resident of Ashburton. [The father of the lad Is Air Joseph Edwards, of. Ash bin ton, who received Mr Elliott's letter to-day, forwarded by Mr Goodman ]



There has bean since th« seventies a considerable amount of debt on the Ash burton Presbyterian manse. When that debt was incured the Presbyterian dis trict here, over which there was but one unaided minister, was perhaps the largest in the colony. Its boundaries wen the Rikaiaand Raugitata on the no-th and couch, and the Southern Alps and the ocean on the west and east. There was but one chaich and one man«e~-one minister and one common tund. Since then the hills with Rakala and Methven have bived off, no have Springburn, Mount Earners, May field, the Hinds, and all the district couth of the Ashborton below the railway line. The latter district supports a minister for itself. The Mayfield district has another. Springburn is the centre of the hills dis trict supporting a third, and the Rakaia district has a fourth, while Ashburton and Wakanui are left alone with the parent church. The mance grounds were pur chased at a time when things looked better for everybody than they do now, and the prospect of paying the deb* at an parly period looked well then. But the roseate hues soon changed to a dull grey, and the colors have never pufc on again their early brilliance. But that debt was incurred in the interests of all the Presbyterians in the County, and though they have done their best by planting churches here and manses there since then, there ought still to be a little moral obligation on their part to help the Ashburton Presbyterians who remain to wipe off the debt. Doubtless the old hands recognise this, and when the gift auction now being arranged for is held, their recollections of old times will take a silvern if not a golden form. In the early days—"Give you a note ; will that do ? ' was the way contributors put it. Nobody thought of giving less than a note for anything. Nor—you are lucky if you get beyond 1 the fashionable crown, or still more 1 fashionable half-crown. The Presbyterian Finance Committee are hoping for a good many crowns and half-crowns, or failing these, gifts in kind.
