THEATRE ROYAL.-UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.

A CAPITAL performance was given by the Mastodon Minstrels to a good hOU*e CO Saturday. The songs were well executed, and the "stage business; andjatajr funnyism generally proved highly eflectlve in entertaining the audience.

The production of " Uncle Tom's Cabin" is announced for to-night, Mr W. H. Leake being especially engaged to take tho part of Simon Legree, and the titlo rOle being confided to Hosea Easton, who has histrionic talent of no mean order. There is a lull cast of characters, and every care has been taken to mount the piece as appropriately as possible. It has been per formed with great success in the South and iv the neighbouring colonies, so that there need be no apprehension as to its popu larity here. The Minstrels will doubtless be honoured with a bumper bouse.

DEPUTATIONS TO THE PREMIER.

RAILWAY EXCURSIOS FARES.

A DEPUTATION from" the' Builders" Asso ciation, consisting of Messrs C.. S. Wright, Chas. Rhodes, an* Geo. Rhodes, waited upon the Premier this morning for the pur. pose of urging upon him the advisability of increasing the inducements for railway ex cursions by reducing the fares on special

occasions. Mr Wright stated the object of the Visit. He said that the Builders' Association were anxious to point out to the Government that the cost of travelling by rail was very high as compared with the cost of travel ling by steamer, and that iii consequence the railways were not made use of td the extent that they would if the fares -were more reasonable. Quite recently their Association determined to have a pic« nic at Hunua, proceeding tbither by rail, but in making up their arrangements they "found that the prices charged by the Government ior con. veyancc were greatly in excess of those for which a steamer could be procured. Their party numbered 300, and the cost of their conveyance to and irom Hunua was £30, whereas they would have been taken by Bteamboat for £10. When they inter viewed the Manager of the Railways (Mr McDonald) on the subject, he told them that they would have to pay a deposit equivalent to tho value of GO single tickets before ho could lay on a special train, and that even if they took 600 people with them the rate would be the same per head as if only the guaranteed GO went, viz., 4s ca._ for adults and Is each for children. Now, ho did not think tbat a hard and fast rule like that would work well; some concessions should be-made when the excursionists were in great force. Mr Charles Rhodes, in supplementing what Mr Wright had said, stated that their especial desire was to impress upon the Government the desirability of holding out inducements for picnic and excursion parties to journey by rail, whero It was expedient, in pre. ferencc to boat or any other mode of car riage, and that this could best be done by. reducing the fares for special trains some what id proportion with the number of the excursionists. The people looked upon the railways as their own property, aud they would be naturally anxious to see them as largely patronised as possible. That was the manner in which tbe depu tation thought they should be regarded. The Premier, having asce tamed that the distance to Hunua was 20 miles, ex pressed the opinion that 4s tor a single re turn was not an immoderate fare, being little more than a penny a milci Tbe steamers could run more cheaply because they were workod at leas expense. They also traversed a course v hich had not re quired to be mado for thorn like that of-the railway. Mr Rhodes reminded tho Premier that where the railway rolling stock was available, it was always wiso to employ it when it could be done profitably. If hundreds of peoplo could on special oc casions be induced by a reduction ot fares to patronise the railway in preference to a steamer, he could not see why it should not be done. It was to the interest of the Gov* eminent to increase the railway revenue by every legitimate means, Mr Wright and Mr George Rhodes spoke to a similar effect, the former gentleman taking care to allude to tho special ar rangements made for school teachers and children as a reason for extending the system. The Premier, in reply, said that when he returned to Wellington ho would enter fully into the question. He was obliged to the members of the deputation for their suggestions, and he would give them care ful consideration, Wherever the Government, could promote tho comfort and meet the wants of the travelling public without entail ing any loss they would do so. Their iaterests were those ot the public also*

THE HUNUA DEPUTATION-AN EX. PLaNATION.

Mr Charles Rhodes said that he had an explanation to make with respect to a pri vate matter which was brought up by tho deputation from Hunua on Saturday. His name had been imported into the discussion, i and he had takon the troublo to put in writing what he wished to say on the sub ject. The gentleman then read tho follow ing letter :—"Tho Hon. John Ball, Minis ter of Public Works, New Zealand. -Seeing it stated in connection with the Hunua Highway Board that I refused to have a road cut through my pro petty leading to Mr Georgo Hirst's land, I beg to offer some explanation. It waa stated by Mr Cossey tnat this road would lead to 60,000 acres of confiscated land, Now,l do not deny the quantity.but I distinctly state that 90 acres is all the land, that this road will ever be required for, as the balance is only fit to herd goats upon. In fact, it is nothing but hills and gnllies. To prove this-there is no settlement upon it to this day. The Government surveyed three sections of this par ticular land. I attended the sale and Mr George Hirst was the only applicant. Two of them he bought, tho survey of which must cost the Government the price the land made. I wish to point out that Mr Hirst bought other two allotments— that is, land adjoining-on the opposite side of the river. If the Government have funds for soch a road, I respectfully request tbat the road for Mr Hirst be put through his land and not through mine. Mr Cossey stated tbat I applied for a road and was not satisfied with what the Board offered. I say it is false. I asked for no road—only the road that tho Government gave in the Crown Grants and surveyed upon ail maps. I have seen this particular part, and offered to contribute one-third of the cost, or £30, to open the road in question, t I was sur prised to see the Chairman of tho Board stand by and not place this matter fairly before the Hon. Minister for Public Works. Had not my name been brought in question, and the quality of the 60,000 acres been stated, 1 should not have troubled myself on this subject. This is my excuse for taking up tho time of your honourable self. The iiret'part of the Board's mission I entirely agree with, as the road would be a large feeder to ihe railway, and what goes by boat now would go by rail. If the Government would spend £1,000, in ton years, I believe, it would reproduce itself, and this should be a strong induce ment for tho Government to subsidise all such roads.-I havo, etc., CHARLES EHODES, builder, Bemuera." The Premier said that he would add this letter to the notes which he had of the mat ters urged upon him by tbe Hunua deputa tion. He had already declined to interfere in what was really a difference between the settlers in the neighbourhood of the Board. As Mr Rhodes's name had been mentioned he was willing that he should state his case. At any rate the Government would not interfere.

This terminated the interview.

SCARLET FEVER.

(To the Editor.)

31ß,—1n my former letter referring to tha manner in whloh Boarlet fever Ib being pro pagated by the negleot of the Banitary authori ties of|Ano-land and suburbs, I used the term "legaUy mardered.". Strictly speaking, I ought perhaps to have said "morally murdered but legally man slaughtered," for if we look at other classes of persons than sanitary authori ties—for instance, railway oompanles and officials, ship captains, bus conductors, mine rmanagers, honeemiilders, or in fact anybody holding a position of responsi bility over the lives of others, we nnd that if they neglect doing anything which it is their duty to do for the preservation oflthelives placed under their oharge, and by such neglect oauae death or injury, they are II able for damages both orimlnally and olvilly—that ia to say, they may be indicted for manslaughter or felony, or sued for compensation. Win onr legal mends In form the publlo whether any Aot has been passed treeing tne sanitary authorities from this lia bility for the effects of their neglect of duty t I think it would be worth their while to look into the question, aB it might open up a fine field lor business. It there la anyidoubt 1b the matter, I would Baggest a test case, at the iointexpenno of ell who have Buffered damage either by the lobs of relatives or their services, or by having doctore" bllis to pay through the Present epidemic It the oase were successful thia would probably be the first thing that would waken the eanitary authorities to a proper onnsaof their duty.
