AUSTRALIANS

PBR PRESS ASSOCIATION THE COLLIERS. Sydney, March 13 A deputation, representing the Socialistic and Democratic Associa tions, presented the Premier with resolutions passed at a recent meeting m favor of interference m connection with tbe difficulty m the Newcastle coal trade, and the State-ownership of mines. Mr Reid said a Government monoply, under the most favorable circumstances, could only control local consumption. As a subject of practical politics, he would not take the matter up, because it would only be a waste of time. The idea was Utopian and not practicable. They might m the future get a better state of society and Government, when such questions might be seriously considered. CANNIBALISM. Tbe Archer brings details of a cannibalistic feast at tbe Island of Nusa m the Bismarck Archipelago. The chief Balak, who bad the reputa tion of killing and eating three white men, and committing numerous other murders, was captured by a cannibal tribe, speared and clubbed to death. His body was roasted and a big feast held. DEATHS OF MISSIONARIES. Brothers Justina and Emile, two members of the Catholic mission m the group, have succumbed to fever. VICTORIAN 'R-v ILWAYS. Melbourne, March 13 The Cabinet decided to advertise m the Australian papers for a general manager of railways. filß VENN'S DISMISSAL. Perth, March 13 Mr Venn has replied to the Premier m a lengthy minute, which he has laid before the Cabinet. He also sent him a letter, protesting against receiving the notification of his dismissal m other than the Governor's hand. He accuses the Premier of showing indecent haste and hostility. ADELAIDE HOSPITAL. Adelaide, March 13 Tbe hospital difficulty is as far from settlement as ever. The medical staff refuse to withdraw their resignation until the services of nurse Graham, who was dismissed but afterwards reinstated by Government, are discon tinued.

CRICKET.

Melbourne, March 13 At a meeting of the cricket team It wae resolved to offer Harry £75 as compensa tion, and inform him that this is tbe limit to which the executive are prepared to go, a definite answer to be given to day. Harry consulted two leading barristers, who advised that he had undoubted claims, .and a ca<-e would lie. They, however, advised him to com* promise, as it would be unpleasant to travel with a hostile team. The meeting also decided m f .vor of taking Johns, Kelly, and Hill. Mr Mas grave, the manager, interviewed, stated that the changes were the outcome ot sn opinion lWd by a majority of the players that the team as first composed was not strong enough tp meet the English teams. Johnt*' exhibition of his previously un known batting powers led to his final Inclusion after it had been deoided to exclude him. He would not say that Harry was not good enough to take, but there was a chance of his breaking down, and the team, one and all, were doubtful as to the soundness of his knee. The cricket counoil are taking no risk, and not finding any money, the team taking all the risk and it is natural that they should want to see only the best jpen go. Mr Musgrave feelß sure the Council will see that it would have been madness to take a dissatisfied team.
