The Steamship Trade.

United Press Association—By Eleotric Telegraph—Cop j right New York, October 2 The Morgan shipping combine has been incorporated at Trenton, New Jersey, un der the designation of the International Mercantile Marine Company, with a capital of one hundred and twenty million dollars C=£24,000,000). Mr Pierpont Morgan is not a director. Mr Clinton Edward Dawkins, a partner in the firm of Messrs J. S. Mor gan and Company, is chairman fi the British Committee. Mr W. J. Pirrie, of Harland and Wolff's, and Mr Ismay, o£ the White Star Line, are membern. The "New York Po3t" says that the predominant feeling in Wall Street is that Cunard's subsidy is a severe blow to Mr Morgan's combine. Ottawa, October 2 Canadian business mtnaie satisfied that the Cutmrd arrangements will sa'eguaid Canadian interests by preventing tl c supremacy of the Morgan Company. London, Oct. 3 The International Mercantile Marines' stock has been entirely subscribed by those directly interested. The " Daily Express " states that the slnreg do not carry voting power, for which purpose a continuity policy has been vested with Mr Pierpont; Morgan and four other voting trustees, namely Messrs Ismay, Pirrie, and two Americans. ■

The Friedman Case.

United Press Association—lsy Klectric Telegraph—Copy ri gh *. Sydney, October 3 Instead of the largo majority which it obtained, the Government had a narrow; escape of defeat. By a majority cf only one a caucus of the Labour Party decided to vote against the motion. Mr GormleyV amendment, which provided that the func lions now exercised by the Attorney- General should only be exercised by the Executive Council, was a Government de vice to capture the country party. It was ruled out of order, and the party went to pieces when the division came.

The Victorian Elections,

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright • Melbourne, October 3 As a result of the elections the Govern ment has secured a majority of thirty seven. No less than twenty-one old members lost their seats. Two candidates forfeited their deposits. The new Parlia ment will meet on October 13. ''■

Queensland Parliament.

United Press Association—By Eleotric Telegraph—Copy right. "" Brisbane, Get. 3 In the Legislative Assembly the debate on Mr Plunkett's secession motion was ad journed until October 16. Mr Fox gave notice of motion, in view of the deficiencies in the finances and the further deficiencies likely to result from the recent action of the Federal Parliament, that a Bill should be introduced authorising the Government to sell Crown lands not exceeding ten million acres. The revenue for the quarter decreased by £227,003 compared with the revenue for the last corresponding 'quarter,' but was £242,000 in excess of expenditure. The decrease is practically accounted for by the postponement of payment of pastoral rents, by two months, owing to the drought.

Ross' Antidote and Ointment The Great Herbal Remedy for Purifying the Blood. following unsolicited Testimonial by a gentleman well known in Ash burton, speaks for itself : — i Masterton, August 28,1901. ! Ross Antidote Company, Dear Sirs, —I feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My i life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every knowH one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I wa3. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to yotir great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J. H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashburton. FURTHER EVIDENCE. JAMES THOMPSON, Masterton, states that he has been cured of a long standing blood ailment, also running sore on the leg, by the use of Plantekda Medicine and Ointment. Good for Thomp son. W. H. DEVONPORT, also of Masterton, was unable to wear his boots owing to broken chilblains, but his feet were quite healed with three applications of Plantekoa Ointment. Seems wonderful, doesn't it. MRS J. ROW, Heatherlea, Levin, suffered from " nervous debility, extreme weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. One bottle effected complete cure."
