THE COLLIERS' STRIKE.

Sydney, Jane 26 The ballot at Newcastle as to the acceptance or otherwise of the proposals of the Conference against the reduction of the hewing rate, resulted —for acceptance 1253, against 454. PRECEDENCE. Adelaide, June 26 From correspondence presented to Parliament on the precedence question it would appear that if the matter is reported, Government will recommend that Legislative Councillors should rank below members of the Legislative Assembly, and that the prefix "honourable" be abolished, on the ground that Councillors are elected by only a section of the community, while members of the lower Chamber are returned on adult suffrage.

Dixon from the line out secured the first try for the Juniors shortly after play had started, amid many cheers from the local bar r ackers, Tinwald were mostly on the de'enaive, and were wanting m combination. The other tries were secured by Rickman, McTeague, Hepburn, and Boyle, one being converted by E. Orr, who also converted a mark secured by Woods. J. Jackson kicked a goal from a free kick. — ' • • y

The Highbank Bailot.

i From Cur Owu Correspondent | The High? ;u:k ballot h:'.s, piactical : y peak ug, been the nwv t> pic of coversa i>n during tho wetk On Saturday evening Mr Hunt, of the Crown Landt Department*, came down to Rukala to be ready on Monday morning to give oat •ipphoation forms and assisb applicants generally, and it is admitted by ail that a more obliging gentleman conld not have been selected for the duty. Fur soiree ime forms were obtainable at, the Pos Office, bub on this occasion the supply ran oufc, and on Saturday last, rot ono could be obtained there, »nd sev^rni pet-pla wenb on to A-.hburton by ih\ oxpress to be served there. However, Mr Hunt's arrival put an end to that little drawback, and he had many en quiries on the Monday. On Tuesday another gentleman came down to give assistance, and by the evening express Mr Marchant, Commissioner if Crown Lands, arrived ; with sill another assistant from the head office. On Wednesday, the last day for receiving applications, there was quite an excite ment, and the local JP.u were m great demand for taking the declarations. Many of the applicants appear to have bub a very limited knowledge of the conditions to be complied with m the event of their being successful at the ballot, and will soon find out that some thfng mote is required than the mare application for a piece of land. Some 1200 applications have been received, and probably each paper wili represent four sections. The Comtuisai ,ncr has arranged to take the ballot m the Town Hall, commencing j at 11 am, and it Is scarcely possible that I the work can be done m one day. i The business must) close at 7 p m promptly, as the hall is engaged for an entertainment at eighb o'clock. The Gazette notice is to the effect that the O jnrthouß9 is to be the place of ballot, but as there is scarcely room to swing a cat round m it, there is no other course open but to prcvlle better accommoda tion for the public. Out of the 1200 applicants, how many are bonafide a id really m a position to go on to the land 1 The fact of the Depart ment not requiring any deposit with applications Is, no doubb, a great induce ment to many to apply for what they don't require ; also, to reslly put m on behalf of their relations and friends, despite the declara'ijn thiy are required to take, m the hope that after a year or so tho Land Board will consent to a transfer of interest* Rumour has it thab several applications have come m unsigned, although the declarations have been taken by Justices, but how true this is yonr correspondent cannot say. The matter of making a declaration appears to be of very little moment to some, for one is repeatedly asked if i& wonb do " Just to sign for my wife, son, daughter, etc.," who can't find time to come m. A considerable number of people came m ky express last nighb to be present at the ballot, and this morning's train brought a large contingent from Ashbur ton, and tho Chrlatchu;ch train a still larger number. Settlers on foot, horse back, and m traps are coming m from all parts of the coun'y Mr Grainger has a nurquee erec- ed for a refreshment room, which will be much appreciated, as the two hotels cannot possibly accommodate such numbers. Up t,o the traln.leaving full particulars as to the number of applicants cannot be attained, as the Commissioner and his assistants have not completed tho lists. The weather is fine, and giv^s promise of remaining so. The Railway Depart ment is not running the morning train from Methvon at. an earlier hour, so many will have to ride or drivo to be here by II o'clock Surely this is a little short sightedness on the part of the officials. Rakaia, June 26. (By Telegraph) From Our Own Correspondent As soon as the doors were opened at five minutes after 11 the ball was rushed, and fully ore hundred could not get m. Tho Commissioner stated i hat about thirty applications were informal. Some applied J for an excess of scerage, others were received late, _nd others nob m order. Generally In cases of excess of acreage, when applicants were present, they were allowed to state which sec' ions should be struck oub. It was impossible for those near the door to hear a word said on the platform. Mr MoLachlan was present, and was asked to ast-idb m tho drawing. As there was nob roc m m the hall for the ciowd, the room was' cleared and the Commissioner took his stand m the porch and "conducted the ballot, tho applicants being crowded outside. The first section was drawn ab noon, and at 1.23 there was an adjournment for half an hour for lunch.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN CRISIS.

. «. Capetown, June 24 Three prospectors have reached Fort Salisbury m an exhausted state, after being chased by MatabeleS for forty. eight hours. The prophet Olimo has been killed, June 25. Fort Salisbury reports that the whole country round has risen, and relief is anxiously awaited. Many whites have been murdered, including nine members of the Ayrshire patrol. Fifty thousand rounds of Rlartini- Henry ammunition have been stolen at Marindello. Fort Charter also is surrounded. The natives have seized all the cattle they can secure, killing the herd boys, The Oape Government has offered to assist m the transport of ammu nition, men and supplies. Plummer'a patrol had an engage ment with the enemy, m which the latter lost thirty. They burned 200 kraals and recaptured 700 head of cattle.

The Claridge Concert.

There was a full house last night at lie i complimentary concert m the Oddfellows Hall t« Mrs A C. CkrMge, and the enter tainment taken all round must be spoken of is successful m the highest degree. The Brass Band played m front of the Hall for a , time before the entertainment began, and their music was a welcome contribution indeed. Thft programme opened with Bellini's overture " Piiritani," played with t.ast« by the Orchestral Society, who had the full strength of their membership on the stage. The players appeared, however, to be rather hampered for room, more especially the violinists, whose bowing had to be done J within a rather circumscribed radius. Surely rhis need nob huve been the case with the stage room now available m the Oddfellows' Hall, bub probably the experience will bi profited by iv future. Mr J. Kersel sang iiis always welcome declamatory song " The battle of Stirling " tellingly, the martial effect greatly enhanced by the introduction by Mr A. Gordon of cornet refrains m substitution for trumpet calls, and this number, as well as that of the Orchestra! Society, was loudly applauded. So also was the carefully and expressively rendered pathetic song "Never again,' entrusted to Miss Barratt. Mr Gordon, the new cornetist, who now made his first public appearance m Ashburton as a soloist, played a solo specially arranged for display of tho performer's mastery of the difficulties of doubls and triple tonguing. In this he was eminently successful, and as it is seHom indeed that an Ashburton audience is treated to each exquisite work as Mr Gordon sub mitted, he was most enthusiastically ap plauded and recalled, responding with a few of the closing but difficult strains of hia number. A poriion of the Orohes. tra accompanied the soloist. Master Dickie, from Wakanui, delighted the audience with two recitations — "The organ fails, " and m response to the encore he reoeived "Curfew mußt nob ring to-nighfc." Ihe lad ; « work showed not only great natural aptitude for elocution, but gave evidence of very careful training. Mrß Mitchell, who made her first appearance under her new name, was warmly received, and was as usual repturously encored for her exposition of the Irish song "Molly asthore," bub she was still more successful m her second effort m response, •* Flight of ages." A display of Mrs Donald McLean's perfect piano playing followed, also encored, and Mr Broad gave a couple of coster songs. Mr Broad's get-up may pass on a pinch. He w&s literally covered with an eruption of "pearlies," and his general air and gait were those, not of the typical coster he sought to pourtray, bub of the ctreet Arab of the ciiminar class, slouching along ac it ever on the watch for the police. But no coster would overdo his personal appearance as Mr Broad did the character, and Cheva lier, who is the f,ns d ori^o of the coster song idea, never intended to sing of tho criminal classes of the London streets, bub of a class who, though far from belonging to the upper ten, are not necessarily criminal. Btsi one need not be critical of Mr Broad* He was there to rave a laugh— and he did it. Me W. B. DeviShire's " Italia, w was the finished effort her numbers always are, and was appreciated accordingly. The Rev T. A. Hamilton's bass voice was well fitted for the song he chose, " Out on the deep," and he waa warm'y applauded. '1 he first part of the programme concluded with a carol by the members of the Liederkranz, under Mra Bowman Fox's baton. This number was unaccompanied, and having been care fully committed to memory the ladies sang without the help of wribte n words or music. Ib was given m excellent, time, with due regard to expression, and by a chorus very well balanced indeed. Throughoub the first part Mrs Mayne wag the accompanist. Previous to the interval Mr Harrison, m a short speech, thanked the audience and tho performers on behalf of Mrs Claridge, and ifter a short interval a comic operetta entitled "The Recruit" was performed. The characters were taken by Mrs C. M. Brooke, Mr H. A. Gates, and Mr M. J. Burgess. The operetta is a sparkling piece of fooling, and the music is bright and tune ful, while the numbers set for soprano, tenor, and b.iritone are specially taking. Mrs Brooke made a most lively and bewitch ing Jenny, and sing throughout with her usual sweetnesß, while she pourl rayed the character of the skittish yourig maiden archly and with ranch naivete. Mr Burgess, the young lover, "sighing like a furnace," was well fitted for his part, and saDg well indeed. The old Chelsea pensioner, god father of Jeuny, was taken by Mr Gates, and m this character he wag tie source of great fuu. He, too, sang the music allotted to him very well indeed, and altogether the pieoe went with a awing that was an agree able surprise, giving ample evidence that great care had been taken with" the rehearsal of the piece, and much time and pains expended on ib. Mrs Bowman Fox played the accompaniments throughout the operetta, which was well mounted and admirably dressed, the indispensable peruquior having btcn Mr J. R. McK<,y, Burnett Street.
