Adrift From Her Moorings.

Press Assosiation-By Electric Telegraph Gisborne, November 12 The ship Soukar, Captain Hyne, which is loading wool here for Home, parted her port chain about midaight, and drifted to within about 500 yards of the shore, off Sandy Boy " the town side of Tuamotu Island- Her atarboard anchor was at once got out, and held her at that spot, iY^»°rte and a-half fathoms of water. The ship had be» making bad weather all day yesterday, when a heavy southerly gale was blowing, Tnd w*« rolling heavily. The wind increased very considerably during the night, and then changed to south-west, and it was soon Jttw Sis time that the chain parted. The ahiD lies in rather an awkward position and in close proximity to a reef, leaving very little room for the operatien of tow.ng. Arrangements are being made to put out the Seam anchor, as a stand-by when her own anZris lifted, and all the available, tug boats here will be utilised m the effort to °The eriauoches Saark and Noko, and the oil steamer Tawera, have succeeded in towing the Soukar out of her dangerous position, and she is now safely anchored in tne bay. .--

Police Force Commission.

Prosa Association-By Electric Telegraph—

Auckland, November 1?, At the Commission of Enquiry the charges against Inspector Emmerson were—That on May 1. 1897, on the Dingadee, he played carls and drank till two o'clock on Sunday morning, and retired the worse for liquor. On Sunday evening, May 2, he landed at Gisborne to inspect the station and men, and returned intoxicated; was guilty ef disgusting conduct, and was somucaun.ee the influence of liquor as to be unable to remove his boots, and had to be got mto his bank with assistance. He lay 011 the floor until those who occupied the same cabin came to hi? aid. That he used obscene and threatening language to fellow passengers, and by reason of such conduct he brought the force into disrepute. To be guilty of such conduct renders him unfit to continue in the force. Mr William Cooper, barrister, was a passenger by the Dingadee, and gave evidence supporting the charges.

WESLEYAN CONFERENCE.

Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.

Auckland, November 12

At the Wesleyan Conference there was a long discussion on intercolonial changes. The secretary of the Conference moved that the recommendation of the New South Wales Conference (that exchanges should only take place when the ministers affected are willing) be adopted. Rev. 3. Woolnough strongly supported this.

Pev. W. Fitchett said this was a most revolutionary proposal, to use the moßt mild expression. To carry this would imperil the existence of the general conference, and one of its most grave responsibilities was the unity of the ministry, which is the living link binding together the methodism of these colonies. Rev. Dr Watkin expressed the view that the first principles of the methodist consti tution must be maintained.

Dr Brown said that as missionaries return ing from mission work were located in the several annual conferences in rotation, the same power should be exercised in regard to the regular ministry. The motion was lost by 16 for to 74 against. ________

SIR, —A gentleman informed us a few days ago that some tailors make suits for about half the regular prices for first class tailoring and then give an extra pair of trousers over " for nothing !" We frankly admit that wo cannot perform such impossible tricks ai those *' wizards of finance" profess. We have every facility for competing with the keenest legitimate trade but we never oonntenance " sweating." We employ first class tradesmen and pay fair wages. A few of our old customers have tried the so-called " cheap suits," and found them " dear at any price," and many new customers who have admired first-class tailoring on their friends have simply remarked—" I want a suit like you made for Mr ——." Our turnover for the last six months shows the largest amount of business we have ever done in one season. This fact speaks for itself. We have just opened a splendid assortment of new summer goods in ail departments; and by recommend ing only materials we can guarantee, com bined with good fib, best workmanship and style, we have determined to maintain our reputation as "the leading tailors and out fitters." Customers requiring suits for the show are respectfully invited to favor us with their orders as early as possible as we have already a "rush" of orders in hand.— Cbaighead & Beeryman.

f MOTHER AND DAUGHTER Restored to Health by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A Crateful Husband and Father tells the Story:



"M? Wife has all her life long been subject to rush of blood to the head and fainting fits. In later years these were more frequent, and her skin became very sallow. She had scarcely any appetite, and it was not safe to leave her at home by herself for fear of a fainting fit. I may citato-we had medical advice both in England and here in New Zealand, but if did no good, so some months back I suggested that she take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. She protested against it, believing it to be quackery, but I purchased a bottle just to give it a trial, and the result was mar. vellous Mrs. Moul has taken five bottles, and now she is a new creature. My* daughter has also begun to use your sarsaparilla for skin discoloration and poor appetite, with considerable success already. I forward you their photo by this mail, and you can make what use you think proper of this statement. Yours gratefully, John T. Moul, Ty-Coed, Swanson, Auckland, K. Z., Feb. 9, 1897. p. s.
