FIJI NEWS.

[Per s.s. Penguin.]

Wb cull the following Irom the Fiji papers

The recruiting of Polynesian labour for New Caledonia has boen resumed. Tho fir*t vessel leaving Noumea on tho servico is a barque of 600 tons, which sails for the Gilbert Group

The "Suva Times" reports that within the week, on two occasions, endeavours have been made by Fijiana to force an entrance into housos where thoro wero at the time no mate residents. In the one case, one of the ladies assaulted fired at two would-be intruders with n pistol, and a Polynesian house-servant assisted them in retreat by belabouring ono with a club. The pity is that the pistol was not aimed straightor, or the club swung moro vigor- By late arrivals from tho Macnata coast we learn' that Mr Leicester Smith had about completed the erection of his Pioneer Sugar Mill on Mr J. B. Simmond's pro perty, Drekoti, and will shortly commence crushing there.if ho has not already done so. We shall be happy to announce- the fact that Mr Smith pronounces sugar growing, with its results, satisfactory an that fine river, as if so it will open up a largo dis trict for this profitable industry, and lead to the occupation of the large area of valuable land extending far into the in terior of Viti Levu, which has already been too long neglected. _ ' , By the return of tho schooner Eastward Ho, MrL. Boehm has returned from tho ceremonies in connection with tho oponing of tho Mango Island Company's mill on that island. These, he reports, passed oil most successfully, the results being very satisfactory, and everyone proving equal to such a momentous occasion. The Auckland riflemen nro not satisfied with tho result of the match in which some short time ago the local men scored a vio tery over them, and conclusions are again to be tried at an early date. This is as it should be, for as the Lovuka mon had only a second-rate team, and fired at great disadvantage in consequence of tho bod weather, the result of the match was einlnently unsatisfactory in that tho Auck land men came up so close. The chances are that the result of their next match, if fired under circumstances more favourable tb the local men, will leave the Aucklanders perfectly satisfied. Tho Rewa planters havo succeeded in ob taining from the Colonial Sugar Refining Company an advance on the price hitherto paid for cane. According to the agree ments entered into before the starting of the mill, the planters contracted to grow for 10s per ton. Since then the increase in the cost of labour has been so considerable that at such a price cane can only be grown at a serious loss, and on the representation of the planter the Company has raised the price to 12s 6d. An effort is now being made to obtain a further advance, and the object is to make 15s per ton the standard price for cone." " . .'; ■ 'At the present there is throughout Viti Levu an epidemic of whooping-cough and mumps: The natives and Polynesians are, we understand, suffering severely, particu larly in the. Rewa district,, where several deaths have occurred. In Suva, Europeans lire also suffering, but not to any consider able extent „ i ..'.' :. AA shed of very considerable size, is being erected next the premises of Messrs J. S. BareAch and, Co., at Suva, its dimensions being ßStt by 40ft. Mr Darrach is. erecting the' building for the use of i the Rewa Sugar Company, who by last Cintra received, in pieces, four 60ft iron punts., ';>" -'; .'Carrier pigeons are employed by- a planter at the back of Ovalau to announce the arrival of an intercolonial steamer at- Suva, and so enable him to have his fruit cut in time to meet her on her arrival in Levuka. ■ ' . .' . The body of an Indian woman has been; found on the Eugenic Estate. Vuna Point, under circumstances which- leave; but little doubt that her death has been compassed by foul means.- It was in an advanced stagel of decomposition, but it could at once be seen that the whole of the left side of the skull had been smashed in: with some,blunt instrument No clue has^yet. been dis ri covered as to the perpetrator oL this crime. - Some little excitement-was caused on Thursday among the .knowing, ones in, ship lore when it was seen that. the.sohooner Marie was about to stretch her canvas for the first time. .Mr Blacklock. schooner Hylton Lass, which is gfenerally considered a regular heeler, was at once manded.wjth the intention, of testing the speed of the new oraft. Both achooners mode really good work, sailing up the. harbour, oft the wind, at almost an equal rate of speed ; on the return,, however, the Mane .showed come little superiority in beating, and was certainly considerably ahead at the finish. The "Marie is a particularly neat-Ipoking little craft of some 121 tons, register, and has every appearance of being well and faithfully built Her dimensions are 44ft. overall, 12ft. 3in. broad, and sft depth of hold She is from the yard of Messrs J. 8. Darrach and Co., and built to the order of the Loma Loma natives, who will possess in her a craft which is a credit to local ability and sound workmanship. , The spread of that detestable weed com monly known as the sensitive plant, which we believe is identical with what is called the "cane-piece" sensitive plant in the West Indies, the botanical designation being " Cassia putchella," or "C. chamte cristt" of Limueus, has extended so for in this colony as to have become a perfect pest. Yet, notwithstanding the propor tions the evil has assumed here, hardly » vessel leaves for Australia-or New Zealand without some infatuoted acchmatisatoi tokteg with him a few of the roots to dm seminate the plague on tlw> pastures of the neighbouring colonies. .'' ;'f ;

The case, Yon Schoen v. the Mango islafad Company, was heard before tne early in laefc year chartered the plaintiff* vessel,' the Saucy Loss, on.^time. bargain to trade within the, group-tba defendants to return her, at the expiration of the charter, and "insure her in the meantime. The Company to appoirit'and pay their own master and crew. ' Just beford the charter expired, the master, fearing (it is alleged) a proscution for bigamy, took the vessel to Havannah Harbour, ostensibly to buy yams, but after his arrival there he left the ship and wrote the mate; to. return ,'witfr the vessel to Suva and deliver her to the charterers. The plaintiff meantime arrived from New Zealand to retake delivery of his vessel, and finding her non est, broughtthis action for her detention. Shortly ' after wards ■ word came :from; H.M.
