London, Oct. 24

A Committee of the House of Commons decided in favour of the withdrawal of the United Electric Eailways Bill to con nect Hammersmith and Hyde Park. This action prevents the Morgan Syndicate pro ceeding with the Bill to continue that tube to the City and the north-ea3t, inas much as the preamble of the latter Dill implies amalgamation to complete the through route. Tho withdrawal represents a victory for Mr Yerkes and Mr Speyera over Mr Pier pont Morgan, inasmuch as the united tramway nnder Mr Speyers'fl control, in stead of feeding the projected Hammer smith tube, will feed the district railway ; moreover, the Central London Company aspires to the completion of the circle covering a portion of Mr Morgan's route.

Tragedy at Sea.

United Press Association—Dy Electric Telegraph—Copyright

Wellington, October 24

The German barque C. Paulsen, which arrived in Wellington from New York on Monday, was the scene of a desperate tragedy when the vessel was thirty-three days out from America. On the 3rd Sep tember, while a seaman named Eeinsberg was doing some work on the dolphin striker, he suddenly i-eeeived a severe blow on the head. Looking up he 6aw an other seiiman, mimed Ohlsen, with a toma hawk in his hand, raised for a second blow. Eoinsberg sprang up and grappled with his assailant on such precarious font ing as the jibboom afforded, and was twice more wounded before he succeeded in wresting the tomahawk from Ohlsen. No one else saw the struggle, and when last seen by Eeingberg, who was tainting from loss of blood; Ohlsen was descending un der the bows of the ship by the chains. Whether he was knocked overboard as the result of a blow received in the struggle or committed suicide, is not known. As the affair took place on a foreign vessel on the high seaß no enquiry is to be held here, but the statements of the crew will probably be taken by some statutory aut hority, to be handed to some Court when the vessel reaches a port under German jurisdiction.

The Charge Against ''Colonel" Lynch.

At Bow Street Police Court, London, on August Bth, before Sir Albert de Kutzen, the charge of treason in the Transvaal pre ferred against " Colonel " Arthur Lynch, M.P., was further proceeded with. " Colonel" Lynch, rising in the dock, said he wished to make a statement, and pro ceeded to read from a document, When he went to South Africa, he said, it was with the sole intention of acting as a war cores pondent. So far from contemplating taking any active part in the campaign, he ex pressly stipulated in one Of his contracts — via., that with the "Journal de Paris," that he should not be required to remain in South Africa more than two months. When he" met Colonel de Villebois Mareuil, the latter was a journalist, and had no position in the Boer Army, He invited him (tho accused) to accompany him. He (accused) agreed to do bo, and he became naturalised as 3- burgher in order that he might have unrestricted liberty to go practically where he wished among the B®er forces and into their positions. Lven though it would necessarily involve his becoming acquaint 3d with military secrets, he had no intention of fighting, and no idea of being asked to command a troop. When he was naturalised, he was naturalised only for the advantages which it would secure to him as a journalist. Colonel de Villobois Mareuil left for Coles berg, whore he (accused) intended to rejoin him. A delay occurred owing to his horse getting fever, and while waiting he wa3 in formed that a new troop, composed prin cipally of Afrikanders of Irish origin, was in process of formation at Johannesburg. He went there to observe the state of affairs in that city, and met Louis Botha. After a conversation with him, he (Lynch) decided to assist in the formation of the troop men tioned, which became known as the Second Irish Brigade. Subsequently they came to him, and asked him to command the troop, with the title, confirrel by the Executive and approved by Oommandmt Joubert, of Colonel of the Second Irish Brigade. When he arrived on. tho scene the troop numbered about fifty horsemen, and it was decided to make a beginning with that. Soon after taking the field the numbers had doubled, and sub sequently the roll showed considerably more than 200. His troop had become considerably broken up around Johannes burg, and after consulting the FJxecutive governing Pretoria he duly obtained his discharge and a pass to Lorenzo Marques. "I had fought, of course, as a burgher. Neither the authorities cf the Transvaal Government nor the Boer officers had any doubts on that score. Nor had I, for I was assured that my naturalisation was in due form and complete. That opinion I still maintain."

The Magistrate then committed the prisoner to take his trial either at the King's Bench or before a Commission, as may be decided.

It's a Manly Act.

An Ashburton Citizen Speaks for the Benefit of his Fellow Citizens

A plain straightforward statement, j A grateful acknowledgment of help, | Telling a personal experience, Making it public for the public good, Is's a manly act, It's a manly act because it helps others. So many people have been misled, So many claims made that were not true, An Ashburton man speaks here, Speaks in the interest of humanity, Removes the stumbling block of deubt, No better proof can be had. Mr C. W. Andrews, East Belt, Ashburton, states: — " Some months ago I was attacked by a bad pain in the small of my back. It used 1 me rather hnrdly for a time.\ I suppose it I must have been cold in the kidneys, for : during tho past 12 months I have beensub -1 ject to this sort of thing, and to protect the part I wore a flannel belt. I saw Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were recommended for this sort of complaint during my last attack, and I procured a box at the Ash burton Drug Company in East Street. This 1 medicine relieved me shortly after I began to use' it. Anybody with such troubles should try this medicine ; if they do they j will not be disappointed."

Success has brought up many imitations of Doan'"s Pills, but there is nothing just as pood as the remedy which relieved Mr Andrews of his pains, therefore ask for Doan's backache kidney pills. They are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be ported on receipt of price l>y the proprietors, Foster, McClellon Co., 7P Pitt Street, Sydney, N.SW,'

But be sure they are Doan's.
