MR BOGUE'S REPORT. I United Press Association—By Rleotrio Telegraph Hokieika Eeb 18 1 The Minister of Public Works has fur- j nlshed the Premier with a copy of Mr Bogue's report on the Arthur's Pass route ; of the Midland Railway. Prom the s«ma ib appears thab Mr Bogus Is satisfied thab Arthur's Pass la the bast for connecting the two coasts, and he generally approves of the location of bhe line as far aa con structed. He earns up the Abb and Fell systems aa heavy In first cost, and extraordinarily expensive in operating. No advantage oonld be gamed by tha use of .he systems. The report goes on to deal with the various routes lettered *A' to * F.* Line •B' keeps to the aoith side of the Otlra for a dL< tanoe, ascending Rolleston Creuk. The entrance to the proposed tunnel is nearly opposite Hodges' Creek, on the face of the bluff above the ooach ro*d, and strikes the Bealey river nearly opposite MoGrath's Creek. The length is nine mi'ea6.4 chains ; maxirmra grade of ihe east approach, one in 50 ; grade of the west, one in 32 ; length of summit tunnel, threo miles 68 chains ; total length of tunnels, 1848 feet j total length of bridges 1402 feet; elevation at summit, 2508 feet ; estimated cost £480.600. The estimate for the sis mile tunnel route, as recom mended by the Committee, was £556,000. His other proposals are on a steeper grade consequently reducing the length of the tunnel proposed. Line ' C 'he estimates at £480,000; line 6E' ab £435,000, and line 'F sat £400,000.

The Liverpool Bank Frauds.

.—, _ OQUDIE'S FRANKNESS. At Goudie's trial Detective-Inspector Nairn, of Scotland Yard, deposed to having arrested Goudie at Bootle, and examined by Mr Mathews, related prisoner's conversation on the way, Among other things in the train, Gou die said: "-I first met Stiles and Kelly with another man with whom I was travelling in a first-class carriage between Newmarket and London, oo the day of the Cambridgeshire meeting at Newmarket, 1900. I had been backing horses at the races. In the train, shortly after leaving Newmarket I was spoken to first by Stiles, who in vited me to join in a game of solo whilst with two of their friends, which I did. Kelly made an appointment to meet me and Stiles at Hurst Park races next day. I agreed, and stayed »t the Bedford Hotel that night. I Beet Kelly and Stiles, and had some bets with them. " I returned to Liverpool (the state ments continued) and afterwards Stiles and Kelly paid me visits at various times. I did win once ta the amount of £2jooo, and when I applied to Kelly for it he said that Stiles had borrowed it. I told Kelly he had no authority to pay money away belonging to me. The largest amount, I think, I ever won from Kelly or Stiles would be about £250 in all. " I dined once," added the prisoner, " with Stiles and a lady at the Tro cadero ; on other occasions I have mot him in town, and he has introduced me to his wife at 16, Wharf .dale-street, Earl's Oourt, Stiles used to tell me he frequently bad £10,000 each way on a horse, I thought he was a substantia! man. He had a man named Wicks with bira at times who acted as his footman." Then Goodie's thoughts turned to tho bank, "On one oocusion," he said, "a" cheque for £900 was returned to tho bank, and I was asked whether tho signature on it was genuine. I said of court.e it was ; it was accepted. I never wrote a cheque twice ; they always went through without challenge. The bank has been defrauded to the amount of about £168,504 10s. "After I had parted with Riles and his friends, a man approached me from North John-street, Liverpo« I, where I did some business. He stsid to me • 'You are a man who understands a lot about racing '; and in the courso of * , conversation on the subject, I told h;m 1 was afraid he was mistaken. Me was very persistent, and said he knew I was ! a bank clerk, and could command plenty of money, I was alarmed, and con sented to grant an interview later, I ssked him what hia nama was, he said Mances. Hew*s staying at Charing Cross Hotel. I saw hira in tho evening of the same day, fearing ho might give the whole business away. The conver sation was all about betting. Marks was introduced to mo through Mances by wires I never saw Marks ; I doh't know Dick Burge, Two men, named Elswortby and H»ggerty, had £4,000 out of me. Kelly sold mn for some £5,000 three weeks ago, due to mo by Stiles."

H Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Columbia, in a recent letter states; * Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Her parents were sore she would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a siudy for me, but I thought Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected.
