The Coronation.

MEETING IN ASEBURIOV.

A public meeting was hell in the Borough Council Chambers last evening, to coniider wbab steps should be taken io Aahburton to celebrate the Coronation of His M j sty King Edward VII. There was a targe aiteedance, and His Worship the Mayor occupied the choir, The Chairman tatd they wore aware of the object of the masting; Be had given the matter some attention himself, %t<& he thought they should put forth united effort, «nd have a local cslebration; The meeting weald have to decide on the best method of carrying »vi the celebrations. He had telegraphed' to the Acting-Ptemser re the Indemnity by the Government d money expended by the Council. Sir Joseph Ward had replied stating than an Indemnity Act would be passed by Government* This would enly apply to money paid by local bodies, ana would not affaot outside contributions. He fought a united service should be held in the morning* mi the aftercoon should be deveted'to the children. A fireworks dis play could be held la the evening. j Mr Ferriman asked if the County Coanoll would fall in wi'h anything to be done.

The llay or hopod so, Mr 00 Bollock said that he had received some paper! from England giving consider able information of what was to be dene there. He thought the Government was behaving in a very liberal tnao&er. In England the municipalities were striking ■peoial taxes, and giving the Mayors honorarium, Manchester was giving £10 000, and small townt were spending large same of money. Permanent memorials were being erected in several places, and this plan was favoured by the Kin;;. He thought I* would be very appropriate if all the ■ohoo! children could be gob together in the Domain: He moved that ths whole of the children attending the sohooia in- th) Ooaoty should be invited to assemble In lbs Domain. , .

Mr Ferrfman seconded the motion, and a medal should bo presented to each child as a momenta.

Mr MoLaohian, M H R, «aW there would be no cl'ffiaalty about money matters. The Chairman thought that a resolution ihoaid be passed espousing tba oause, and another asking the Borjugh and Ooanty (Poonoils to vote money, Mr Parnell moved :-• ThAti in the opinion efibis meeting the Cororation tf King Edward the VII, should be celebrated in a ■Datable manner.

Aa a oltiisD, h's thought the various dfluomi nation* should hold se vices as they thought beat. United services were not a success as » role. Rev G B In«lie differed entirely from D»n O'DonneHj He thought) a commrttee •hould fix whit waa to ba done, und he would abida by the decision they arrived ati K»t Mr Faa Btood elds by aide with Mr log'l*' §he Rev B Whitehouse was in tr.e same position ai Daan O'Djuoell. 3tß Bishop wonld fix ipeolal aervioes f>r Coroaation D*y, but he w*3 aB aaxoua for a oit z^ae aetviae was Me IngH* < wa».

SOUTH CANTERBURY EXECUTIVE.

&t the meeting of the Soath Canterbury exsou'ive of tfa« Farmers Union, held in Timura on Thursday evening, Mr Ward asked if auychiog had been heard from the Ashbarton Conference regarding the man net Id which the money of the branches had been expended. It was due to the branches to know this , Mr Maslin said be had written to the j Secretary, bat had bo fat received no reply. A balance sheet had bow been printed, and possibly it would be forwarded as soon as it had been before the meeting there Mr Corcoran made strong complaint of the way Waimate had been treated In this respect. They had sent their money to Ashbnrtou and had not siaoe either seen or heard of l\ and had never got a receipt or anything to show that in had been received. Mr Maslin said they were expecting it) too soon. The balance sheet bad only jasfc been made up, so he saw by the papers. For bis part he mast say that he hid reoelved a receipt for the money Bent from South Canterbury, and had since received word that there was a credit standing for them now of £9. He had reoelved do money from any of the bmnobee. He had refused to t»ke it, All the money he had received was from the South Canterbury Branch.

There is a widespread belief that peace is practically assured. The Boers, recognising that annexation is irrevocable, are seeking certain aas ur» ances on minor points.

The Standard says Lord Milner would scarcely have consented to sub mit proposals to tbe Cabinet which, in hie judgment, would be wholly inad misssib!e.

Mr Baifoafj in a speech at a meeting in Edinburgh prior to hie summons to a Cabinet meeting, declared that he expected to ba summoned to London very specially, for an important par pose.
