DUNEDIN.

o The Provincial Council opened yes -. terday. Mr Macandrew in the open ing speech spoke warmly of the pro gress of the colony. The exports amounted to £2,279,663 against £1,190,000 for the previous year. This was equal to £7 per head for every statute adult, which lie claimed was un equalled m any part of the world The exports of gold showed an increase of 2,840 ounces. The revenue from all sources was. £338,000 against £259,000 for the previous year, and in place of an overdraft at the bank the province had now €16,698 to its credit. The "bonus offered for a paper manu factory had induced the starting of one at Mataura. A bonus of £500 would be offered for sperm whale fishing, and a local company was prepared to take it up. He indicated that votes would be required for increased school accommodation, and referred to the necessity for extending the Port Chalmers railway by constructing branch lines to Mataura, Clutha, and Moeraki. He thought the province should undertake the work. The sub sidy of one pound to Highway Boards, and Goldfields districts will be con tinued. £250,000 would be spent on the Waitaki valley tramway, and £130,009, would.be spent on roads and bridges at Kakanui. Arrangements would be made by the General Govern ment by which a stream of immigra tion from the Clyde by steamer to Dunedin direct would commence. It was proposed to increase the endow ments of the Otago University by £10,000 if a school of medicine were established in connection with it. The speech also recommended the reclamation of the mud flats of the bay, and the increase of the upset price of waste lands to £2 per acre. He said the province had never been so prosperous since the establishment of a responsible govern ment, Mr Bathgate, in his lengthy address last night in the Masonic Hall, characterised the events of the past Bession of the General Assembly as one long struggle between the party of progress in order to obtain office, and the party of obstructionists to regain it. Hehad opposedMr Stafford's resolu tions. He could not support men who would strangle the public works policy. The opposition of Messrs Stafford, Rolleston, and Gillies shewed strong hatred to Otago, as the Land Law University Bill, Crown Grants Bill,

and Mr Gillies's attack on their lands proved, and he, the speaker, could not support such men with justice to the views of his constituents. The Opposi tion had produced no new programme. It had made no effort to reduce the public burdens, or lessen the cumbrous weight of taxation. But the selfish struggle had not prevented the passing of a few useful measures, and he was glad to observe that Otago had not been neglected. When the lines in Otago, now authorized, were finished and in working order they| would yield an annual revenue of £50,000.j|The speaker said that he was in a position to state that the Provincial Govern ment had been offered a rent of £13,500 for the Port Chalmers line, — the lessee agreeing to keep the line in repair and meet the working expenses. The Government had wisely refused the offer; for he believed that within three years the line would yield a free annual revenue of £20,000. He con sidered that the oflicers of the Public Works Department deserved the thanks of the public, for to bring matters to its present satisfactory con . dition they had laboured day and night. Mr Bathgate deprecated local scrib blers who were ever harping about New' Zealand being an over-taxed country in comparison with Britain, and urging that the colony was fast on the road to ruin. The hon. gentle man then quoted largely from the statistics of various countries, and endeavoured to show that signs of prosperty were every where visible in these colonies. He criticised the speeches of Mr Stafford, and Sir David Monro, and preferred the latter v _°gntleman's hostility to the " blow hot *** 'vad blow cold " policy of the former. "^He compared their speeches to geolo gical curiosities of by-gone days, fit only for a museum, as they possessed . no vitality of importance or of present interest. At the conclusion of the Bpeech Mr Bathgate was loudly cheered, and a vote of confidence carried by a large majority, only four hands being held up in opposition.

COOKING BY GAS. IT is not generally known that Cook ing can be accomplished milch quicker, cleanlier, 1 better, and cheaper by G"« than by any other method. v i The Gas Stove *s portable, gives perfect and imme ! diate control over the her.t, requires but little atten tion, is always ready, 1: eps the kitchen and house cool, and is onJy alight wiien actually in use. The difference between the cost of cooking by G^.s, and by the ordinary mode, is much grecter than i usual at the present time ; for while coals have lately „ advanced in pries 50 per cent, Gas has been ke bucbd to 12s 6d per 1(K 0. i The following statement, which is the result of i many experiments, shows the relative cost of bo'Htiga j Gallon of Water in a copper kettle by means of a recently lighted coal fire, and by a Gas Stove, and the ! time required in each case ;— Coal used Weod Time Total per ton. u:ed> cm P loyed- Cost- With Fire.. 4jlbs. l-sthofld 1 hour.
