THE MARINE SCANDAL

The Commission.

United Preßa A^nociation—By KUietrio Telegraph, Wrlmnoton, July 24 Mr G. Hutchison w»» rxitmined. He smd he had known Mr Allport for nineteen yeans and always regarded him as the ideal of what a public officer ought to be. Witness had no new light to throw on the question of Jones' examination. Asked liy Judge Ward for his opinion as to the employment of boys or apprentices, witness Baid h« attributed she non-applica tion of boys for service at «?ea to the fact thab the maroanti o work was done by Btenmers, and on thes« t!ic work was simply that of a laborer. Youths cmld not be ' trained in seamanship on steamers.

Cross-examined by Dr. Fmdlay—Witaesa aaid yon Schoen lo'd him he reached over hia pupil's shoulder, and held hia hand while he made answer to the questions, and that he (yin S'choen) rrade out the exami nation papers himself. In, reply to Mr Gray, witness said yon Behoen did nob express any feeling against Captain AHman. His complaint was that examinations were done in an erntie way— eometimea very strict, and at others very lax. Oaptain Bendall gave evidence that he •went for examination as a licensed adjuster of compasses in 1896 He did all the work set for him without illegitimate reference to books, or other assistance of any kind. He coald not account for the same errors appear ing in Captain McLellan'a papers as were shown in his own.

Mr J. A. MiHar, M.H.R., gave evidence as to the operation of the Shipping and Seamen's Act. Witness contended I hat no vessel could safely go to sea with fewer hands than at present stipulated for, and that any apprentices carried should be in addition to the statutory number of men.

The Commia ion adjourned till to-morrow, When the taking of evidence will finish.

Ths Dredging Boom. Otago in just now up to the eyes In a dredging boom. . ; Some of the di-odges are getting gold, and some are K oinu to get it—when they re ] built ? Meanwhile, the .hedges at work are i miking a basis f.. r Bpc-.-ul.tion in tho shares of those who intkno to work and INTKND to get gold. Did it ever strike you the I amount of money invested—and lost--in good intentions. Take Tea, for instance. A lady will buy a packet of common blended lea with the besb intentions in the world, when, lo ! ib . turns oub trash. Had she added a quota of ! intelligence to her good inten'ions she would have known that more reliance could be put on the British grown arii X and so to make sure would have iusihled uc set ting tha Ceylon grown and packed ii^.dai Lanka, with name on every genuine packet j and box, sold by McKei ssie's Company and by good-intentioned and intelligent store keepers. Ihe dredging boom will doubtless burst in time—when every bib of river bank worth £200 is sold for fiiOOQl—but the boom in i M Keczie's Hondai-Lankft Tea can'b burst, j for the reason thitt ib is I uilt on actual fact, j and nob ou specn'atiou and good intentions, j Aa long as people can get Tea worth, say, > 2s 4d for 2* the trade wiil increase, aa is the case w;th Hondai Lanka We don't look for much disaster when the dredging boom bursts, for there is too much gold in our Otago rivers, and too many i fquare-headed common-sense Hondai Lanka I Tea users ab bhe head of affairs, keeping cool I heads and recommending the free use of McKenzie's pure Unblended HondaiLmk* Tea. _________________ " Ye maun be wud "—Surely unblended is better value than tea blended for profit ab your expense.
