FIJI NEWS.

By nfrival of the Penguin from Fiji, we have iiles of tho "' Times " and " Argus " tq Nov. 28. We oxtrsisf the following Items :-

The timber trade at Lcvuka is very active. In iul.lit.iou to several cargoes ot New /calami timber recently to hiuul, the llobart lown barnno Guiding Star has just com pleted discharging a cm-go ot hard wood, and lias (,'ono on to Suva to land a moiety tlio.ro. while quickly succeeding her came the American vessels Newsboy und \ ega.

A seaman named John Grant, a native or Scotland, bolongiiii? to tlio burqucntine \\ alto niata, was drowned whilst bathing in the harbour at Suva. s Two Fijiaus. who were suspected of having boon the perpetrator.* of the lato luiinlcr at Howa.. have been committed lor trial by the KKHfistratc of the district. li'M S.

SALVATION ARMY BARRACKS

Layhifr tho Foundation Stone.

An ovent of considerable importance in con nection with the Salvationist movement in Auckland was celebrated this afternoon. We refer to the laying of the foundation stone for tho new Army Barracks in Albert-street. Since its establishment in Auckland, the movement has made such remarkable progress that the Temperance Hall has long failed to afford either the

necessary accommodation, comfort, or facilities for the prosecution of the evangelistic work which the officers of the organisation have in hand. With the object, therefore, of providing tlieso, Mr Herapath was engaged to prepare plans of a new structure, and these having been approved, the contract for the erection of the barracks was let to Mr Matthews at tho price of £2,473. The new barracks are to be 011 tho east side of Albert-street, closo to its intersection by Wellesley-street. The building will be of one story, built of Boyd's ornamental pressed bricks, and will be capable of seating 1.-200 persons, allow ing a space of eighteen inches to each. Hie frontage to Albert-street will be -17 feet, with a depth of 10i feet. There will bo kitchens and class-rooms under neath, and every convenience, including a supply of water through tho whole structure will be provided. Three o'clock was the time fixed for tho commencement of the ceremony, and at that hour there was an immense concourse of persons in tho vicinity of the scone of operations. A platform adjoining the site ot the foundation was occupied by Army officers, ladies, clergy (including Rev. Arch deacon Alaunsell, ttevs. Bond, Why-lock, Willis, Potter), Mr and Mrs Phelpa, Messrs G. .1. Stone, Wiseman, Mackie, Wliite, Brame, Herepath, Parker, lioynton, and others.

Tlie proceedings commenced with the singing (with cornet accompaniment) of the ;t3al hymn, commencing " Saints of God Lift up Your Voices." Prayer was then offered by several brethren. Several verses of hymn No. 12 wore then sung, and Rev, Bond read a portion of the 10;>rd psalm.

Captain Tod Wright then addressed tho assemblage, saying thoy had met there to celebrate a very pleasant event. He re minded his auditors that some sevon months ago a boy had laid tho foundation in Auckland of a movement which now numbered several hundred soldiers within its ranks. They were unable at first to obtain tho use of a room in which to hold their gatherings, but now they were about to lay the first stone of a barracks which would accommodate many hundreds. The building, he added, would bo strictly maintained as a Salvation barracks, and with Clod's help neither a dance nor a con cert would be held within its walls.

Mr F. W. Boynton, Socrotary to tho trustees then deliveredtho trustees'address. Ho stated that £620 lfls (id had been con tributed towards tho total estimated cost of £2,000.

Mrs Hampson was then presented by Mr Herepath with tlie trowel with which to perform the ceremony.

In a forcible address, Mrs Hampson, who pleaded to bo suffering from congestion of tho throat, expressed the pleasure she had in laying the foundation of the building. One of her prayers when she first camo here from England, was that there should be an unseetarian hall for mission work, where thoy would bo able to reach tlioso who nevor go to church or chapel. Both church and chapel wore doing their own work and theirovorworked pastors could not reach tho mass of humanity beyond, who were practically untouched by the influence of either. Pastors grieved over it, and thoy welcomed and valued such nu important auxiliary to their work as tho Salvation Army. Its work lay amongst the masses who were outside the palo of church work. It did not cook to build up a church but to form an organisation as auxiliary to the churches, which it sought to till. At tho conclusion of tho address, Mrs Hampson laid tlie foundation stone. In tho cavity underneath it was placed a zinc box containing copies of tho Star, "Herald," " I'reo Press," " Korimako," English, Australian, and Xew Zealand War Cries, Id and Id as coins of tho realm, and the following document: Decemboi'4, ISXi, Salvation Army, Auckland, New Zea land, No. 2 Corps, Barracks Building, Provisional Trustees—C. O. Davis Alex, Mackie, John Castle, F. W. Boynton. H n. Secretary and Treasurer —F. W. Boynton. Foundation atono laid by Mrs Margaret Hampson, Evangelist,1 Total cost of build ing, .1-2,000. Tho ceremony was proceeding when we went to press.

Tho December number of Gardner and Co.'s Penny Timo-table has mado its ap pearance, and well sustains tho repute of tho serial as a capital compendium of busi ness information. It is repleto with tho data that one expects to find in a well-fur nished Bradsbaw, and may I e'obtained at a fraction of tho cost— »ti other words, a penny.

Tho final meeting of the creditors erf John Elias Davis, milkma.ll, of Mount Albert, was held today. Mr Macffarlano (trusteo) presented his report, which stated that the debtor had lost by accepting into partnership a man named Webster, who only remained with him six months, and that subsequently being prevailed upon to give two bills of sale to a cattle dealer named Martin. Thi3 in dividual eventually seized his goods and stock, and sold him out. Tho debtor has a large family, and at present has no monoy to live on. His liabilities amount to £103 4s Bd, and he had no assets whatever. A resolution was passed recommending tho dobtor's discharge.

A case was heard this afternoon at tho Poljce Court in gwhich Robert Hall was charged with threatening to perform a surgical operation on the body of Richard Bade by cutting .off his head with a sharp instrument. Mr S. Hesketh appeared for Richard, and Mr Jackson for Robert. The evidence disclosed a most trivial cause for so much disquietude. Mrs Eade deposed that she saw Mrs Hall pull out a hedge-stake from her husband's fence for the purpose of boil ing the kettle. Mrs Hall, on the other hand, stated that she jvas simply hunting for eggs—her stupid hen would lay in Mr Eade's paddock. The case occupied some timo, until one of the solicitors said, "Richard and Robin aro two pretty men, and 'tis hoped that they never will quarrel again." ilia Worship dismissed the case, leaving the parties to share costs.
