THE SWIMMING CARNIVAL.

Sydney. January 25

The New Zealand swimming repre sentatives bad a rather bad time from a competitor's point of view. Whether the men were outclassed by their rivals or out of form through the severity of the climate is uncertain. -A Hen, the colony's crack diver, had a rather unfortunate experience m the diving contest on the Parramatta river. After covering seventy yards he rose to the surface and then suddenly sank from exhaustion. Several of the by standers got him out, and he soon recovered. The North Island con tip gent have sailed for home ; the re mainder journeyed to Newcastle to participate m the newly formed Federal Qlub's" gala, where Fox, of Ohrist phurcb, with 3Qsec start, won the 120 y rds inter-club handicap m !j.min 48sec. The Canterbury representa tives, with the exception of Fox, leave for home to. day, ANOTHER DEAN EPISODE. Rebecca Dean, sister of the notori ous George Dean, has been arrested at Narrunder on a charge of lunacy. The evidence showed that the woman was j found m a perfectly nude state behind her ino.ther?§ house, building up a dry brick walj. which she had pulled down the previous evening. She was re manded for medical examination.

THE IMPRISONED CHINESE GIRL, Adelaide, January 25. Miss Yam Ga, the heroine of the Celestial romance, is a bright, intelli gent girJ, and talks English fluently. When taken to the Government offices the Executive was sitting and the Gov ernor requested to see the girl. She chatted freely with the Governor and the Ministers. She states that she was sold m Canton for 103dols, and accompanied her purchaser to Ade laide. But there is a reverse side of the picture. Way Lee, m whose bouse jjjhe 'wW fqunjt, is 6'ife : 'bf thp most respected Chinese merchants here. His account is that the girl was not bought, but adopted, and the . money paid to her mother was an advance of wages. The girl is of a wayward dis position, and this is borne out by the statement of several ladies with whom she was brought into contact. Way Lee, at the request of the girl's adopted father, took charge of her until she could be returned to China, &<&(>rdingly he detained- her, and kept 4 careful watch on hja'r/because'he was afraid she would run away ' and con trapt" a marriage. Such a gafcastrppbe tfould, under p^imese, law, make it necessary for her foster father to have his head removed by tbn public executioner. To avoid this unpleasant consequence was the reason of the girl's incarceration,, Way Lee seems to have had a lot of bother lately with Chinese ladies, pother Chinese custom permits a tixkn's toother 1 tcV find a wife fot }iim, fcrid Way Lee's mother, having 1 a suit able JMdein her minoVs eye for her ffon, persuaded the'l^dy who brought ftfe'girl but to go to !Ac|e|ai4e to depo jrafe Way's jiqarthstdriei "Unfortun ately Way is already inarripd and he thus found it necessary to ship his mother's choice back to Ohina^

THE RU6SO-TURKISH AGREE MENT. London, January 25 Many denials nro published of the reported Russo-Turkish agreement. The Speaker's Constantinople corre spondent confirms the first statement, and adds that the Sultan sent some famous jewels to the Czar and presents worth £35,000. The Times' Vienna correspondent telegraphs that it is reported that the Sultan of Turkey proposes to lavishly decorate the Russian and French diplomatists. Washington, January 25 The Senate has adopted the report of the Committee respecting the diffi culty m Armenia. Constantinople, Januaiy 26 The Sultan denies the agreement with Russia. Vienna, January 26 The Freie Presse says that Europe can not permit any single Power to direct the destinies of i urkey.

THE SMOKING NUISANCE ON THE ASHBURTON PLATFORM.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, — I should not have taken any notice of your correspondent "Puff" if he had confined himself to the truth. Whether my stay has been long or thorfc nan nothing to do with the nuisance. "Puff" says you can't stop smoking on the platform because they dc not do so at Christchurch. Now I do not believe there is any smoking at Christchurch station, aud 'would want the statement made by some one who is more reliable than •■ Puff " before I do. " Pufl " thinks it cannon be stopped on country stations. Why not? *' Puff" says a by-law is ridiculous, and yet he tßlls us there is one, and admits that he ignores it. He ac cuses me of hanging about the platform every day. Now I tell him that I never hang about the platform or anywhere else, and I challenge him to put the by-law he speaks of m force. He a i ks me to tell your readers why I spend so much time on the railway platform. Well, I gener ally go to get a Christchurch newspaper when the morning train comes m, which may detain me a quarter of au hour, and I very seldom go to the station till the evening brain conies m, so your readers will be able to form an opinion how much time I spend on the railway platform. — I am, etc.,

The Heat m Australia.

Adelaide, January 25

The weather has been intensely hot, and 111 hi the shade was registered on Thursday. One or two casps of sun stroke occurred, but without fatal results.

Sydney, January 25 A great fall m temperature was re ported last night m the Western dis tricts. The southerly gale brought up a good rain. The first news was from Wilcannia at four o'clook, where a terrific dust storm made the sun miserable for the first time for weeks. Bourke experienced a great downpour of rain an hour later. The gratitude of the inhabitants was unbounded, and many actually delighted m getting drenched to the skin.

Along the coast cool weather, with rain, predominated during the week, though it again became oppressive at the close. The unfortunate dwellers on the plains, however, had not even the satisfaction of the small mercies doled out to the coast residents; for the thermometer 1 maintained a consis tent : des}re" to remain.- above 100. Little relief come 3 when the gun sets, for the sun-dried earth gives off suffi cient heat to make the nights almost unendurable. Many families availed themselves of the railway concessions to reach the high lands and search for la more temperate zone. If statistics go for anything, there appears to be immunity from the effects of heat m some religious persuasions over others. Of the deaths last week 'attributable to h^at irt' the metropolis anci suburbs, the Church^ of England contributed seventy-n.ine and the Qatholios sisfty^ while th.c Wesley%ns ancl Presbyterians more than doubled the average. On the other hand, the Oongregationalists seem to be the greatest heat-resisting body m the community, for they had only four interments, which is below tl \t Average. Throughout the country the death rate was alarmingly high, and far exceeds anything of. the kind, through disease or epidetnic/ which the colony- hus ever experienced. Two pathetic instances are recorded from Bourke. A Mrs Wright, while attend ing her aged, dying husband, became ser^oubly ill, and shortly expired. A Mrs Honeysuckle succumbed to the intense heat, and her son-in-law went to Bourke to engage a railway carriage to convey her body to Mudgee for burial. After returning horns he had just completed soldering the coffin lid when he was stricken, and died within an hour. The carriage which he had ordered conveyed his body al§o, Over 200 deaths "were r recordect m the country a!one, Bourke heading the list with fifty, January 26. Steady rain fell throughout yester day, and to-day $hero have been gop3 general raifls, qlrhqst tiie whple of the interior participating. At many places the change was preceded by violent storms, which did considerable damage to property. YET MORE DEATHS F&OM THE HEAT. Sydney, January 27 Mr James Cameron, M.L.A., for Waverley, has died of heat apoplexy. Prior to the change m the weather eight more deaths were reported from Bourke^
