A deputation from the Licensed Vic tuallers' Association waited upon Mr Holies ton hero to-day respecting a notice received on Saturday that the police will enforce ho clauses of the new Act relative to he closing at ten. They showed that tho licenses they hold entitle them to keep open till eleven, and it seemed unjust to curtail the privilege. .They were willing to way a fee for extension to twelve 0 clockt but there being no committees yet elected, they could not obtain what they required. Mr Rolleston replied that the qucstioh was outside his department, but lie would wir'o to the Colonial Secretary and set tho case fully before him, and consult with him on Thursday and see what could be done.

THE STRIKE AT THE UNION COMPANY'S WORKS

lit accordance with an advertisement ap pearing in last night's STAB, about 170 of tbe "locked out" employes of the Union Sash and Door Company met iv front'of the Wynyatd Arms Hotol at 10 o'clock this* morning." < After some desultory conversation, the assemblage formed! tWfl deep and marched to the hall in the Working Men's Club. Mr W. Turner, who was voted to the chair, said that a long prologuo from him was unneccasary—they all knew as well as ho did the business that called them together. He then called on someone to propose a resolution or address the meeting.' Mr Fox suggested that the meeting should appoint a committee or delegation repre senting all hands to proceed to interview the representative of tho Union Sash and Door Company. It was docided to act on this suggestion, a former committee, which was not con sidered sufficiently representative, being dis solved, and the following were appointed :— Messrs Brewer, Ripley, Thorburn, Turner, Middloton, Deering, and Rogers. Mr Pivott moved, " That the delegates interview the company and inform them that wo will not work over-time Unless we get paid at the into of time and a quarter." Mr Middlcton moved, as an amendment, " That the company be informed that we don't want to work over-time at all, and that if we do we shall expect time aud-a quarter." • Mr Pivott withdrew his motion, and the resolution was carried unanimously.

Mr Middlcton referred to a inis'statement that had been made, to the effect that Mr Murdoch had addressed tbe men. He denied tbat this had taken place-fat any rate ho had heard nothing of it. • $

A workman, whose name we could not ascertain, said he wished it thoroughly un derstood that the present movement was not a strike—it was a "deadlock-out." He recommended the whole of them to take no steps about looking for work until they had heard the report of tho delegates con cerning their interview with the company. He really hoped none of them would take a job. Let them not take up this matter us joiners, machine hands,or labourers, but let them do it as one man.

Several members ot the meeting said that the movement had the sympathy of num bers outside the trylo altogether. The meeting terminated with votes of thanks to tbe chairman and tho press, it boing decided to meet again at two .o'clock in the afternoon at the same place.

The deputation.met tbe workmen at two o'clock this afternoon, and reported that Mr Herbert (the manager) •' declined to accede to the resolution passed at the meeting in tho mo nifig. Ho had statod that if they would come back to work for a fortnight fresh arrangements would bo made at the end of that time. The men wouid bo allowed v, quarcer»of-an-hour for tea, Mr Hcrbort had expressed himself as feeling very much insulted at the action of tho men, and had demanded tbat )h;y should apologise. The meeting received tho rcpo.t of the delegates with signs of disapproval, and a resolution was unanimously adopted expressing their determination to stick to tbe course decided on in the morn ing. A "rest lvii. n censuring the men who continued at»work was lost, and it was finally agrcd tbat the , delegates should again see Mr Herbert and meet the workmen at live o'clock this evening. Several persons iv the meeting stated that the workmen had the sympathy of tße public.

Captain Ashby's visit will result in an important city improvement. He has in structed Messrs Reals and Sons to prepare plans of a handsome new building for St. Mungo Cafe (MrC. Canniug's.) The build ing will be furnished with all the most modern conveniences, Captain Ashby having brought with him various designs of fcho leading European restaurants, tho best features of which will be incorporated in the new cafe.

THE PROTEST AGAINST THE MAKABAU.

(To tho Editor.)

Sib,—Tho protest has been accepted against tho Makarau taking the prize. Can we again legally protest against the prize being handed over until we placo tho matter in tho hands of the Court, where the depo sitions of the evidenco on both sides will be put on paper, and be made public through your paper and other journals ? In our evidence wc proved that an attempt was made to bribe tlio captain of the Makarau. Our friends, members of the committee, omit to make this known, and it is only fair to tbe public at large that it should bo known, as 1 feel sure that many have been interested, and will lose by the Pukapuku receiving tho prike, which, is most unjust. The evidence in a court of justice would be published, but on this occasion it is not; and as I personally knoW (as also do rila'ny lothers) that certain statements in the evi dence are incorrect, and tbe Makarau is justly the owner of the prize, I should like tbojmblic to see the evidenco. >An oiler of £l3 was made to James Conway to accept ■the protest, nnd throw the owner (Mr Pal* met) out of tbe race or the money.—Yours, &c,

PONSONBY V. NORTH SHORE.

(To the Editor.)

Sib,—-Some adverse remarks having bttcn made to the action ot the Ponsonby and North Shore Junior e-ews in not being at the starting point'in timo at the late Kcgatta, I think it only right the blame should fall on tbe right person, in the pro* sent case undoubtedly the startci. The Allcomers-Race was advertised to start at 4.30 o'clock, at which time the competitors were ready off the starting point at Watch man ; the starter's boat did not leave the flagship to proceed to tho starting point till then, being detaincd,for the purpose of taking the boat of one of the amateur.scullers up to tbe starting point, which race Was not to come off till 4,15'r-plenty of time, one' would think, to enable the sculler to proceed up in his boat himself. The all-comers were not started till within a few minutes "of 5, only two boats starting—Ponsonby and North Shore. Tho race finished after 5, and the boats, being required for tile junior crews, were at once sent back with their crews. When over half way up they met tho Auckland crew pulling down, the starter having told them to go. After keep ing one race waiting for over 20 minutes, he should have postponed the juoier gig 'race, at the samo time knowing full well tbat the same boats were required, and bad to return to compete in the junior race, as were used in the allcomers' race* If tbe allcomers' race had been started punctually there would have been plenty of time for tho junior crews to have got back in their boats, and a good race between the three crows would have been the result, and not a walk over and race spoilt. In conclusion^ I may. stato that the other clubs are wait ing to sco Whether the Aucklank club practises what it preached about the North Shore Club taking the trophies at the last Worth l_horo Regatta, the cases being similar,—l am, &c,

Fair Play,

SCARLET FEVER.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—The paragraph on the above subject in your yesterday's journal is food for serious reflection. That there should be eleven patients suffering from, this foyer iv our public Hospital may be regarded as an index of the extent, to which the evil has spread in the district; but is it not a grave reflection on those in authority for having taken no pracllc il steps to arrest and stamp out the cuemy long ago ? Had this been done, humanly speaking, the resources of the institution would not now be taxed in caring for these, nor would the nurse who has fallen-a victim to it be now in her grave —with a good many others. It is stated that one of the Onehunga patients has been put to inconvenience and loss, being,a milkman, because people refused to purchase his milk. Does it not reason a gross want of huminity that there should be any effort to vend the milk under the cir cumstances on his part, considering the well known character of the article as a medium for propagating feVer germs ? And is it not pitiable that the public should not be pro tected from such glaring wrong ? -We have heard 'nothing further about that specimen of the same trade in Parnell, so tbe evil is possibly being sown widely there. There is a carelessness manifested by people on this matter that one could not credit, unless a personal witness. I havo seen families, whilst mem bers have been down with the fever, ad . mitting persons ignorant of the fact into their homes without a word of caution, and then the patients moving abroad and mixing with the public, whilst the skin was yet peeling. The schools aro about to com mence their work again, and unless imme diate action be taken, one of two things will follow. Thoy will have to be closed, which will mean a'scrious loss and waste of public funds; or large numbers of families will refuse to expose their children, and so keep them at home. Whenaninfcctiousdiseascbrcaksout amonst aheep or cattlo tho law stcp3 in at once, giving protection; but when it is human life, jhe public . are left to tbe .mercy of fate. All this has been ' anticipated too. A medical man told "me months *Ego that we should have this epidemic, unless steps were taken to arrest the evil. When the fire-bell sounds the alarm the men are soon on the spot to arrest theovil aod prevent the growth of destruction, and will tho many alarms trmt are daily made bring forth no effort to stop and stamp out this slayer in our midst ?—I am, &c, Sanitas.

The open boats Blanche and Ped are likely to have a trial of speed at an early date, the latter having been challenged to compete for £10 upwards. Seven candidates have been nominated to fill tbe ' vacancies ou the Education Board : Mr Clark, nominated by ten com .mittecs; Mr Moss, by seven committees ; Mr Peacock, by four committees. These three are the retiring members. The other candidates nominated are -. Mr Laishley, jua., nominated by thirty-six committees; Mr D. H.

OUR SYDNEY LETTER.

_U_"l_iti. VAoAfid_.fa'."

THE DRtNR CiUEgTiOft

j) , Sydney, January 26. * _Tltl_ indignation tnsetiug of the citizens of JSydney held at the Theatre Royai dn Satiifc day afternoon was not a great success. It

was about the, wdtst time it cauld be held. St_ll,the object, to protestagainst the tyranny of the new Licensing Bill, was fully attained, the feeling of the five or six hundfbu * prescn being unmistakoably strongly opposed ttf the provisions of of the ! (resent Act, and, the resolutions carried inanimtJiisly. Hjit ihei:e were many cachrca in connectioii with this rtieetlng which favoured of the ludicrious, and which supporters of the Bill might tako advantage of. As I sat' on the platform I felt how easily, if my feelings had been towards the other side, I could tear tbe whole affair to pieces and hold it uf> to public ridicule. I expect the moral and religious and servile journals ot tho Government will do so. If not, the accomplished pressmen who support . Parkcs, and ; all his works don't know their business. Tlie S.M. "Herald" has. cast a damp over the affair by its Oai'efully prepared report of the proceedings. I only know that what I aim stated to hdve said aa it now appears in this morning's *' Granny " seems to mo Utterly ridiculous, and will be mote so to other people. I know what I said, and as I dont suppose tlio reporter is incompetent, I put it down to mal.eeprepense. It is not pleasant to be thus accounted a fool, but I nave long since given up all idea of getting any justice from John Fairlax and Sons. MINORITY RULE. The contention at the meeting was that this is not a question of drink or no drink. It is one of the liberty of tho subject, Shall a minority rule a majority . Shall we make sumptuary laws which will affect the poor and not the rich . There are very few temperance men in Parliament; as a rule they are rather tho other Way, some of the present Ministry having been chawed with being publicly drunk on scvoral 'occasions. But the temperance bodies have become such an Important factor at elections that the mem ber Whb rightly gfcts "full" at the Parliamentary refreshment-rooms still votes !oi- the exclusion of liquors from railway re reshuicnt-tdoilis and to close public-houses at,ll p.m. and all day on. Sunday?. The members of thcI.O.G.T. cast a solid vote. They plump tts due matt for thoir candidate, and there being no party formation here, politics being an individual scramble for seat, place, and power, such a vote will turn the scale at any election. Hence the new Licensing Bill, essentially a piece of legislation for a class, rondo by a clique, PKOGRESS. Every day I see frbsli evidences of the progress which, during tho last three years, haa so rapidly spread in this Once Sleepy Hollow. There is no doubt that Sydney will.be the city of the future, tho entresol of all Au-tralian commci'ce. The other night I walkod from Bddfern Station with the new American Consul, Ooloncl Kahlo, "Coilie. and see,the Bowery of Sydney." Dawn the hill to the Haymarket, and a few

yards up aside street, wesawa hallof dazzling Jight. "What place is that?" said tbo Consul. " You're a pretty newspaper man not to knoSv." I pleaded my nine months' nbschec, and proposed that w0 sjiotild in vestigate. To my itstonishment it turned oiit to bo the pala.cn atoro of Anthony Hdrden and >s!ous. The Consul and I were both thunderstruck at the magnificence nnd completeness of the building and the arrangements. We are used to big stores in the States, ami when we said that this waa equal to anything to lie met with there, no bigger compliment could be paid to Mr Samuel Hordco, who showed us round. W. Mac Arthur, son of tho late Lord Mayor, was one of the party, and was equally pleased. Why people pat ronise the miserable establishments to bo found in our so-called adocratic thorough' fares is a mystery? But t am told that many ot the first families now drive rouud to llordcfi's side door in tho motning; nnd in the afternoon saunter through Farmer's or Jones's, and buy, perhaps, one pair of gloves, having made all their putchases iv the Haymarket, where- everything is Cheaper and better.

THE CHINESE QUESTION!

I am opposed to Chinese immigration, but there is justice, or should be, in all things. The three Chinamen belonging to tho crew of the City of Now York, who were fined £20 each and costs for landing in Sydney, must have an exalted idea of the quality of English jurisprudence. None of their mandarins at home would attempt to Squeeze them out of such ah amount. When the agents and Captain Cobb offered to be liable for any penalties if the men were not taken to sea again, I think it ought to be sutlicient, No intention to evade the Act was showd, and I think, on ' an appeal, the judgnlcnt would have been reversed. But the few Chinese merchants here raised a subscription and released their countrymen from gaol. Thfaso high-handed measures, while they will triid to deter Chinaman from coming to Australia) will also lead to restriction being placpd on the movements of Europeans in China, As I point out in my new book, "Occident and Orient," trouble in the East is brewing, THE NEW LICENSING ACT,

A test case haa been decided by tho new Stipendiary Magistrates who now form tho Licensing Board. The question was whether publicans, baring taken out and paid for licenses which gave them t*irtain privileges, to wit, the selling of liquor up to midnight and during certain hours on Sundays, could now be ...deprived of any part of these privileges by 'the new Act of Parliament until the expiration of thoir licenses on June 30, I,think myself that the publicans have both law and right on their side, but of course the newly appointed Magistrates decided otherwise. Thla matter haa now to be decided by the Supreme Court. It' is a good thing that the question of theco licenses is now taken out ot the hands of tho J.P.s, the Great Unpaid, othbrwise there would have been a fine packing of benches by tbe tobacconist Pcnfold, on the bne hand, and Browne and Co, on the other.

PARNELL BOROUGH COUNCIL.

Tin? usual meeting of the Council was held on Monday evening. Present: His Worship the Mayor, Crs. Herbert, Hood, Mcddcns, Winks, Davies, Clayton, and Mullics.

Correspondence,—Tho Town Clerk of Auckland wrote, asking the Council to adjourn consideration of the matter of carriage licenses until after the City Coun cil's meeting on Thursday. Agreed to.— The application of Mr J. Louudes for a refund in regard to the dog-tax of last year was granted.—Mr W. J. Lodge wrote com plaining of the negligence ot tho dust con tractor. Received.—Mr Thomas Hill wrote, asking the Council to accept a life policy aa security instead of procuring £150 in the Savings Bank.—Tho Council determined to adhere to its former position, aud re quire society's securities. •'■ Doo Tax.—Mr McKonzie's motion for a reduction of the dog-tax was brought up, and after some discussion, it was agreed to adhere to the present tax of 10s.—It was resolved to tako proceedings iv all cases where dogs are not registered by February 13th. Water Supply.—lt was resolved to write to the Auckland City Council asking them if they aro willing to furnish a water Bitpply to Parnell, and If so, upon what terms they would lay down the' necessary mains, and afford a water Bupply to the whole of the borough. Domain Board.—A deputation, consist ing of the Mayor and Councillors Barber, McKenzie, and Winks, was appointed to wait upon the Hon. tho Premier to respect fully request that the Mayor's name be added to the list of gentlemen forming tho new Domain Board. .

Small-pox Hospital.—lt waa resolved, on the motion of Cr -Herbert,'" That the Borough of Parnell views with alarm the possibility of a hospital for small-pox patents being erected in our midst, within tbe bounds of the public Domain, and requests your very serious consideration before allowing such erection, or that any portion of the Domain be alienated for any purpose whatever."—After the transaction of some other business of aq unimportant character, the meeting adjourned.

Last night's performance of Bent and Bacholdcr'a Minstrels was under the patron* ugeof the German Consul and the officers of the Habicht. The Inspector of nuisances should pay a visit to Wellesleystrcot West. His pie senco is certainly required with ureency there, for a powerful and most noisome odour has filled the atmosphere since Sun day. There mvst be a putrefying carcase in the neighbourhood, and if atepß are not taken to remove it, the health of the ped-' pie who live in the neighbourhood will be most injuriously affected.
