THE MARINE SCANDAL.

The Commission.

United Presa Association—By Electric Telegraph, Wellington, July 13 The Commission resumed this morning. A. R, Hiulop, commission agent, gave evidence that he was in the saloon of the Duchess with Mr Seddoo, Captain Jonee, and several other gentlemen on the trip of the steamer to Day's Bi.y some eighteen months ago. Only some few commonplace remarks pasted between the Premier and Jones. Nothing was said that witness could remember as being of a serious business nature. He never heard Mr Seddon make the remarks which Jones attributed to him, If he had undo the remarks witness must have heard them as the saloon was very Binall, Croaa-exaTuned by Mr Gray, witness said he had known Jones over twenty years, and regarded him as a straightforward man, and Dot likely to invent a. lie. A. G. Johnson, secretary oo the Benevo lent Institution, who was also present on that occasion, gave similar evidence. So far an he could recollect only ordinary greetings passed between the Premier ard Jones. Had Mr Seddon made the remark attributed to him by Jones, witness thought everyone present would have heard it as the cabin ia bo small. Jones was only present two or three minute?. Cross examined by Mr Gray, witness said he could not say what happened on the trip back from D*y's Bay. All he cou'd say was that he never heard the remaik made on the journey across. X- E. Buinister also said he was in the Duchess cabin, and never heard the remaik attributed to Mr Seddon. Hon. Mr Hall Jones was the next witness. He detailed bis connection with Jones' application for certificates, giving the same account as he had already tendered in the Supreme Cmrt. Beyond Mr Seddon's tele gram from Auckland the witness had no commumc.it i>n about Jonea until th^ revela tions were made, and witness believed that until that time the Premier had no idea that Jones had got his competency (master*} certificate. Wnen the oase was before the Supreme Court witness learned, much to his surprise and alarm, that his memo on an envelnpo had been need by Mr Allport as a Ministerial authority for Jonea to sit for the master's exuninatiou. Witness never in tended Buch nee to be made of the memo, which he had given to Captain Alltmn 113 a reminder to look «"*o the matier. The memorandum was on an envelope—" J'jnes Duco permit rxam master." Witness was in the habit of making memorandums ia this manner for his own guidance. They were never intended to be taken a* instructions Before leaving the room, Ciptaiu Al'm^n said he would look inb'j tha question 0/ a pern-it for the elimination, and wi neaa lold him to cake the envelope as a reminder. The Commission adjourned for iunch.

SHIPPING DISASTERS.

Two Vessels Wrecked on the Westralian Coast.

Numbers of Persons Hissing.

Great Loss of Life,

United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Perth, July 13

The bsirque Carlisle Castle, bound from Liverpool to Fr\ mantle, was totally wrecked at llockingham during the night. There is no trace of any survivors. The &hip City of York, Captain Jones, bound from San Fran« cisco to Fremantie, went ashore at Rottnest Island last night. Twelve of the ciew are missing. Eight others were taken by steamer to Freraantle Search steamers ha?e been despatched to look for traces of those missing from both disasters. Much valuable cargo belonging to the Carlisle Castle is strewn along the beach, Hottnest is an island lying about 14 miles north-cast of Fremantie, and is about 7£ uiile? in len-jtb, by 2£ miles in breadth. The marine residence of the Governor is on the island, also a native prisoners' establishment and farm, and a juvenile reformatory. There is a lighthouse, with a revolving white light visible at 21 mil's Rockinghara ia a small town 33 miles south from Perth, and 17 from Fremantie It in the centre of a fine timber country, which supplies jarrah timber in large quan tities.

(Received Wakapuaka July 14, 9 30 a.m, Guardian Office 10 24 a-m) Perth. July 14 The City of York had a crew of twenty-aix, of whom the following are missing :—Walter Jones, master ; D. T. Baxter, second mat®; T. Penning ton, steward; J. Oonway, J. Wallis, W. P, Lanten, H. Borner, J. Black j man, A.B.s ; W. Stockwel!, ordinary seaman ; A. Purdy and 0 Hancock, apprentices. The survivors state that they had fine weather until off the Australian const, when a succession of gales was experienced. Rottnest Island, twelve miles from Freinantle, was sighted yesterday afternoon. The ship was steered for the lighthouse, and the captain gave the order " Down helm." Owing to the heavy wind and sea, the rocket signals fired for a pilot struck about two hundred yards from shore. The captain mistook Rottnest lighthouse for the light at $n$ steered a course direct for the light. The danger was not observed till the vessel was a quarter of a mile from sborp, and it was then impossibta to bring her out of danger. Two boats were launched, but both capsized, but novae of the occupants contrived to reach the ship again. Seven more got ashore, nnd the remainder, including the ciptain were drownei. Seven found on the ship were taken off by the steam tug Penguin, the other seven were also brought from Rottnest Island.

The wreck of the Qarliale Qastle lies on Coventry reef, four miiea from shore at Fremantle. One royal mast ia visible above water. Everything pointed to the fact that the vessel had gone down almost immediately after striking. From the condition of the wreck it is evident that she struck during the storm on Tuesday night. Two boats found on the be^ch had evidently nofc been used by the crew, as the mast and oars were lashed. No bodies have been washed ashore. It is considered almost certain that the whole of the ship's company were drowned.

JNo complete list of the crew exists, but there wpre probably twenty or twenty-four. From letters waiting at Fremantle the following list has been compiled:—Oaptain Lindsay, master ; Houston, first mate j A. Guyien, sail maker ; Oscar Anderson, Wesley Tljomas McLean, Robert Wilson, Robert Jenkins, E. F. Stokes, Thomas McMahon, seatren • iTohn Oodd, ap prentice, Jt is rumored that there have been two more wrecks—the barque Ara? Bella, from England, at Moote River, p&d the Mandurah between Fremantle

and Bunbury. Sydney, July 14. The steamer Katoonjba, which left for Brisbane on Sunday returned to Newcastle to replr-nU.h her coal. She had a terrible experience during the late gales, and was several days knocking about at the mercy of the mountainous seas. Hei cargo included 4iO valuable rams. Only two were saved, the others being washed over board, or so maimed that they had tc be killed.

MAYFIELD NOTES.

From Our Own Correspondent

TEMPERANCE DE3ATE.

Ifc was resolved at the laßt meeting of the Mayfield Mutual Improvement Association to ask the Rev G. B. Inglis, of Ashburton, to give a temperance lecture here on Tuesday last, but this gentleman waa nob able to come ; consrquently the AaaociatioQ asked Mr George Andrews, of Aehburton, who happened to be in the neighborhood, to give his viewß on the temperance question. He reidily complied, delivering an oration of over halt ao hour's duration on the evila of the drink trade in this and other older countries, and held that !he only solution of the evil was prohibition. Mr Hyde, in a short speech, upheld Mr Andrews' views, and quoted many deg'ading scenes which he had personally come in contact with, especially during; his sopurn in the alums of the cities of the Old Country. Mi W G Gallagher, white in favor of prohibition, did not think it should be brought into the political arena, as it waa apt to bring about, the election of an inferior candidate. Mr Ham was in favor of doing away with a!] duties on drinks and allowing any and everyone to brew who cho»e. Mr A. Simpson was not in favor of prohibition, hub would like to see the control o: liquor entirely in the hands of the Government, bo that the people should 1 c ensured pure and unadulterated drinks, and »ny profit derived from the trbffia would go dirrcMy to ben> fit the country, antl cot private mdi viiu'v's. Ho enumerated many other things which n quired prohibiting before the irink, and there were many ct!'.<r curves besides th 3 drink, which, though not as apparent as drunkenness, wera none th-i less evil for their secrecy. '1 here was no vote taken on the debate. ITe*ry votes <>f thinks w<-tc accorded to the i-pcaker?. There w.isaf.iriy large attendance, considering the slushy slate of the roads, 1 uudenitand that the foregoing subject is to ba the theme of another lec'ure by one of the leaders of the tempsranco party iv the near future.

THE WeATHER. Contrary to my expiations, the snow disappeared from the plains very rapidly. On Monday nighr, & drizzling raiu foil, und by Tuesday mid d*y most of the snow had vanished, leaving the uuahingled roids ankle deep in mud (and by the way there aro some of our principal roada in a disgraceful state just cow, the one to the ValetU railway station being almost im^assabie) Very he&vy snow still lies on the range?, and it freezes very intensely at night*-.

THE TELEPHONE. We aro igain in touch with Ashburton by telephone, the br-ak-* occasioned by the snowstorm having all been mended up. It is wonderful how much we feol the want cf it when anything gies wrong. Many messages were deliyod in couscquencß

PERSONAL Ihe mu>y friends of Mrs Ewen Cameron, Glenroy, Surrey Hill*, will b- p'ras'il to learn that she is getting better ag»;n after her serious illness.

AsKBURTON TO TUX Fore. — A Wellington telegram states th-tt Messrs Willis, of Pel ham Poultry Yards, Ashburtoti, has won a ten guinea trophy at the Wellington Poulry Show. Forecast-—Thursday's forecast from C p tiin Edwin's office was:—Moderate to litiht winds between N. and W. and S. W ; barometer fall soon ; weather cold and generally fros'y. Akri^T. —J vat before the < xpress departed for the south this morning from Ashburton, a man was arrested by Constable Moore, on a warrant charging him with indecent ass mlt on two young girls in Cnristchurch. Prisoner had a ticket for Dunedin in his possession, bat wa< captured before ha boarded the train. He will be returned to j Chriatchurch to be dealt with. Euchre. — The annual euehro nutch between the Fire Brigade aud the New Zealacd Railway Clubs was played at the ', Fire Brigade rooms on Thursiay evening — fourteen men a-side. Great interest was taken in the play throughout, the Railway proving winnerß again. The pcores were— Fire Brigade 22, Railway 39 points. The play occupied an hour and a half. After the match a pleasant hour was spent in harmony. A.A.C. & &.G- Ball.—The first annual ball in connection with the A.A.C. * A.C. waa held in the Orange Hall last evening »nd was a great success, over forty couples being present. Dancing was kept up to an early hour, to music kindly provided by Mr J. Walker (piano) of Inuriston. Mr R. C ark discharged the duties of M C. to the satisfaction of all present;. The catering in the hands of Mrs Morton and her staff of waitresses was all that could be desired. The Committee deserve great kudos for the excellence of their arrangements which re sulted in a most enjoyable evening for all present. Judicious Advertising —It is often very amusing to hear people discussing the question of advertising. There are, strange to say, some persons who do not beliave in it, bub they are in a very insignificant minority. Advertising is the only way to obtain business. But advertising must be judiciously done. It is not enough for a man in a particular line of business to insert a notice of the fact and then patiently wait for custom. The secret of successful adver* tising is to keep oneself constantly before the public eye. The proprietors of some of the patent medicines have got the grip of the position, but they have not exactly the best style. Apropos to this subject it may be interesting to our readesa to know that there ia now in Ashburton a novelty advertising paragraphist—Mr A. Eggleton—who is very highly spoken of by the press throughout the colony. His specialty is short " puffa " in | compiling which he seema to be an adept, and to judge from the testimonials he has he must have proved a perfect godsend to the newspapers in the districts he has visited —not to mention the advertisers themselves. He intends calling on the principal business men in town,
