Auckland, July 14

Mr J. H. Upton lias given a notice of motion for consideration at tho meeting of the Synod on July 25th in connection with the Bishopric of Auckland. Eegulation 74 states that Synodsmen shall be elected for a period of three years at the general election to be held once in three years. For that purpose Mr Upton gives notice to add:—"Provided, however, that in the event of the resignation or death of the Bishop, the Synod then existing shall continue in office until his successor is ap pointed." The ideajto to prolong the life of the present Synod, which would expire on July 31st, in order that tho appointment of Bishop Cowis's successor may not ba dealt with partly by one synod and partly by another, and also to avoid haste in the matter. Mr Upton, howeyer, doubts if the aiiggestion can be given effect to, in the present case, although there can be no doubt the Synod has power to make such a rule for the future.

A six-roomed house at Penrose, occupied by Mr William McCulloch, and owned by Mrs Margaret Laurence, was burnt down. Nothing was saved. The house and the furniture were valued at .£SOO. The house was uninsured, but the furniture waa insured for .£l5O in the Eoyal Office.

Dunedin, July 14.

Joseph "Ward and Henry King were com mitted for trial to-day on two charges of stealing jewellery, etc., from the Central Hotel, belonging to a member of Pollard's Opera Company. New Plymouth, July 14

Mr John Elliott, of Mahoenni, is defi nitely announced as a candidate for Egmont The Native Minister has visited Waitara and discussed the boundaries of the Egmont electorate with the chairman of the Town Board. Mr Carroll acquiesced in the sug gestion that a portion of the Kawhia county, now in the Waikato electorate should be included in Egmont, and a portion of Stratford county cut off. Wellington, July 14

At the Anglican Synod this evening, a motion affirming the desirability of. women having equal rights with men to vote at parieh meetings, and in the election of officers, was rejected. The voting of the clergy on the subject was equal, though the laity was in favor of the alteration. Sir Joseph Ward, speaking to a deputa» tion from Lower Hutt to-day, said the con cession now given on the railway for the haulage of lime should not be taken as the basis for asking for other concessions. On the contrary, it was more than likely it would be removed. He again indicated that it would be impossible to undertake the straightening of the Wellington-Petone railway owing to lack of funds. Chbistchurch, July 14

At a meeting of the Committee of the •Canterbury Chamber of Commerce to-day the following resolution with reference to the State Fire Insurance Bill was carried— "That this Chamber considers that the provisions of the State Fire Insurance Bill are unworkable and trusts that Govern ment will definitely withdraw it, and is further of opinion that Government competition in trade and commerce is detri mental to the general prosperity of the country."

DEATH OF ADMIRAL SAMPSON.

EECORD OP AN ADVENTUROUS

CAREER,

Admiral Sampson, of the United States Navy, who was in charge cf the naval operations on the Cuban coast in the war between the United States and Spain, died on May 6th, after suffering from violent hemorrhage. William Thomas Sampson was born at Palmyra, New York State, in 1840. His father was a labourer, and his childhood was spent in poverty and hard work. He had to pick up his education as best he could in the odd moments when he was not assisting his father in cutting and piling wood or doing similar work. He could only attend the country school ir regularly, but he allowed no obstacles to baffle him. In 1857 he obtained an ap pointment a3 midshipman in the United States Naval Academy. After four years' Btudy he graduated first in his class. When the Civil War broke out young Sampson was too young to obtain a com mand. He distinguished himself by his pluck and daring, and for his conduct as master of the frigate Potomac he was pro moted to the rank of second lieutenant in the summer of 1862. In this position he served on the training ship John Adams, in the South Atlantic blockading squadron, and on the flagship of the European squad ron. While executive officer on the iron clad Patapsco, cf the South Atlantic block ading squadron, Lieutenant Sampson gave a signal proof of the metal he was made of. The fleet, January 1865, was engaged in blockading Charleston harbour. For many days the Confederates had been laying sub marine mines and torpedoes in order to prevent the Union fleet from forcing an en trance. The Admiral, on January 16, or dered Lieutenant Sumpson to enter the har bour and destroy the mines. Standing upon the bridge, exposed to the fire of the enemy, he steamed into the harbour. The little ironclad had scarcely entered when the bullets from the rifles of the sharp-shooters rained upon her. Lieutenant Sampson saw the men fall on all sides. He ordered them below, but kept his place on the bridge. Suddenly the firing ceased, and the Pata pasco steamed onward unmolested. Then there came a mighty explosion as one of the mines exploded. The ship was lifted into the air by the terriffie force from be neath. Other explosions quickly followed, and the shattered ironclad settled down and qnickly disappeared. Lieutenant Sampson was blown a hundred feet away from the wreck, but he was rescued together ■with, twenty-five of his men. Seventy had been shot or drowned. In 1866 Captain Sampson was promoted to bs lieutenant commander, and 1874 he was made com mander. He served on the Chinese station in 1879.

On the outbreak of the Spanish-American war in April 1898, Captain Sampson became an Admiral, and was appointed to the com mand of the " North Atlantic Squadron " at Key West. He was in chief command of the American fleet which destroyed the Spanish Squadron off Santiago de Cuba, and thus contributed greatly to the early termi nation of the war.

THE GREAT THROAT AND LUNG CURE. Tussicura. The true secret of health lies in the pre vention of disease, and for this reason a medicine which not only cures complaints, but prevents the development of more serious trouble, possesses a special value. Of all such Remedies TUSSICURA takes pre-aminence, and the phenomenal success it has achieved more than justifies its claim to support. No matter how severe a Cough or Cold may be, a dnsa of this wonderful preparation will give instant and permanent rplief, acting as it does upon the organs affected and rendering capable of doing- the work ordained to them by Nature. It should be remembered that TUSSICURA is in no sense a "quack" medicine, but is the invention of an experienced pharmacist, who has given special attention to th 9 study of the throat, lun<?s, and bronchial tubes. A single trial is sufficient to prove its effi cacy, and those who are suffering from any of the complaints which this mixture pro fesses to cure should not neglect to try it. Price 2s 6d per bottle.
