THE MARINE SCANDAL

United Preae Association—By Electric Telegraph.

Wellington, July 18 On the Commission resuming this after noon, Captain Jones was further cross examined by Dr Findlay. He stated that before he left the Minister's room he was told ho could sit for master. He was pretty well cure come one said so. In the exami nation room he did not say, " For Go;Is sake captain, don't destroy them ; I di.l them all myself, bo help me God." Ho said, | simply, "Don't destroy thtm," and nothing \ elae. He never mentioned hia wife and ( family, or about •« losing his billet." j In reply to Mr Hislop, witness said he aaw Mr Seddon a week before ha went Home, Mr Seddou promised him nothing but to look into the matter to see if the service certificate should be given. When hs went to Captain vo_ Schoen it was on the under standing that he should be able to go up for examination without having a mate's certi ficate. .  In reply to Mr Atkinson, witness said Captain Altaian did not assist; him with any of the questions on the examination papers. Keplying to Mr Gray, Captain Jones Btated there was no truth in the suggestion that an improper application waa made to the Premier on behalf of witnoßa. Witness only went to the Premier in order to try to get justice. Witness's employer, Mr J. H. Williams, had nothing to do with the matter. He did not assisb witness in any way, nor did he particularly wish witness to get his certificate. When witness aaw Mr Hail-Jones, witness understood him to say that he would give an order to enable a mate's certificate to bo dispensed with. Witneßß left with the impression that the order would be given, There was no arrange ment whatever between Captain Allman and witness, or between Mr AUport and witneas, as to the examination. Witneas hid no idea there waa anything fraudulent in hia action. Had he thought bo, he would have had nothing whatever to do with the matter. Witness trusted Captain yon Schoen at that time, and thought his actions were prompted by friendly feeling* for him. The Premier did not know about witness's examination, and when he spoke to him on the Duchess, be thought he was referring to the service certificate. As far aa witness knew, neither AJr Seddon nor Mr HallrJones had any knowledge of the way the examination was conducted. Witness said he did not claim protection for any statements be had made. He came before the Commission to tell the whole ttutb, and he was willing to take the consequences. Coptein Edwin gave evidence that tie remembered CapUin Jones presenting him- Belf for examination for a master's csrtin- j c&te. When Jones seated himself at the table he took an envelope from his pocket and handed it to o>ptain Allman. On wit ness making enquiries, he found the envelope contained examination papers, and he advised Capt&in Allman to tear them up. Captain Allman apparently did so, as wit ness saw the pieces drop, but it was evident afterwards that he did not tear up the whole of the papers, although witness thought he had done bo. Witness had no doubt whatever after he saw the papers des troyed that Captain Aliman had conducted the examination fairly and efficiently. Many yearn ago witness found .Captain yon bchoen in the examination room assuming a candi date. Witness ordered van Sohoen out 01 the room, and failed the candidate. Since that occasion witness had not known yon Sohoen to be overanxious to obtain infor mation in connection with the examinations. In reply to Dr Findlay, witness said the examiners were authorised by the Collector of Gustoms to dispenso with the mate's qer tificate in Joneses ease,' although it was a breach of law. Witness considered the examiners had received sufficient authority to allow Jones to sit for his examination. Witness could not Bay he was aware that toe Minister had agreed to illegally dispensing With the mate's certificate. He went by Ihe letter from the Marine Department, authorising the examination. When Jones was sitting for the examination, witness s reason for leaving the room waa not became he did not want to be involved in the case. He knew nothing about the case at that time He left the room in order to attend to hia own work, Captain Allman remaining in the room to supervise the candidate a W°l_. 'reply to Mr Atkineion, witness said when he found yon Schoen with the oandi date in the examinftti n room, the candidate had been left "alone for a few minutes, but that was not contrary to the regulations then in force. Witness admitted Captain yon bchoen's competency as a coach tor mautical examinations. The Commission has adjourned till Inurs day, m , ,i _______

Wanted, A Wife.—A farmer in Manitoba recently wrote to England, asking for a wife to be sent out to him. We believe he meant well, and wo h'pe he mob wibb success ; but good wives aro not usually to be obtained in this way, In such a matter a man cannot safely trust to the judgment of another, but must use hia own. In choosing a wife, every man's judgment varien. In other thinga it sis not so. For instance the judgment of every senaibk man is in favour of Holloway's Pill, and Ointment for the cure of liver complaints, disordered stomach, shattered nerves, iheumfttiam, goub. lumbago, scalds, burns, and all skin diseases.

Fortu nately he did not happen to touch the com mutator, a vital part of the m chinery. Had he done ao the town weuld immediately have been thrown into darkness, valuable machinery would probably have been ruined, and the foolish fellow would have received the whole force of the electric current luto hia body, and wou'd at least have been seriously injured for life. _ It has been decided that in future no visitors shall be al> lowed to enter the dynamo-room.
