THE SMALL-POX SCARE.

Fumigating and Cleansing tho Waihora,

Dr. I-iiilron, Medical Olliccr of Health, has given full and detailed instructions for cleansing and fumigating tho steamer at the Quarantine Station, so that all danger of infection may bo removed. These in structions embrace tho following :-Ist.

Brimstone fumigation of every apartment in the vessel for 24 hour..; tho berths and com partments occupied by tho crew to bo specially attended to. 'md. Scrubbing with carbolic acid wator throughout the entire ship, and tho free use of chloride of lime. 3rd. All clothing and bedding on tho ship to be thoroughly washed and fumigated. 4th. Daily inspection of the passengers nnd crew. sth. Vaccination and re-vaccination to bo carried out, especially among tho crew a.d children. These operations have.'some of them, been commenced, but Mr Mays, Superintendent of Quarantine, having now made all necessary arrange ments, means to fulfil theso recommenda tions strictly and regularly. Dr. Howell has been nppointed medical adviser at the Quarantine Station, and is expected to start at his duties to-morrow (Saturday).

On tho Quarantine Island

everything is now in good order, and the great majority of the passengers havo landed and occupied their new quarters. Thero is n splendid supply of water, nnd tho work of six men has rendered the build ings most comfortable, clean, and healthy. Captain Edie, though much worried by the many demands made upon him, is keeping his " happy family " of prisoners in as good spirits ns possible ; and tho creature com forts supplied from Anokland help to make the lot of tho isolated passengors at least tolerable.

Recalcitrant Pnssorgcrs,

No littlo embarrassment and obstruction has arison through tho action of certain mal contents among tho saloon passengers, who refuse to lonvo tho steamer and go into tho loss attractive quarters on Motuihi. Tlio pretext for their nttitudo of rebellion against orders is that tho accommodation at tho quarantine station is not fit to bo used by ladies and children ; but therearo some whose only motive is said to bo selfish love of caso. It will roliovo tho minds of all to learn that stops aro in contemplation which will effectually quell tho incipient mutiny. Tho Superintendent of Quarantine has absolute powers t_ enforce tho regulations, and these powers ho intends to oxorciso immediately after tho medical man ar rives. Tho cottage of tlio care-taker on tho island, which is comfortably fur nished, will bo relinquished to tho ladies and children, thus removing any ground for dis c.ntent on thoir behalf. If tho male pas sengers persist in remaining on board, in spite of the " firo and brimstone " torments in storo for them, not to speak of the added agony of carbolic acid and chloride of lime, the Superintendent of Quarantine may employ legal force to cjoct them, so that tlio cleansing of the steamer may be effectually carried out. Mr Mays again went down to the Quarantine Station this afternoon to superintend further arrangements for the comfort of passengers and crow.

Precautions In tho City.

His Worship the Mayor lias telegraphed to tho Mayor of Napior, thanking him for his forethought and courtesy in telegraph ing to tho Council regarding tho landing of the smnll-pox patient at Napier, without which warning tho passengers per Waihora might have been landed hero. The Mayor has also consulted Ur. Stockwell, tho medical otliccr to the local Hoard of Health, asking him for suggestions to guido tho Board in tho event of disease breaking out here. Dr. Stockwell has sent the following memo, i —"August 7, 1884, Memo, regarding Henlth Act. —1. Pro vision of somo building as an hospital for eontagcous diseases. It need not bo very largo, but should be apart from dwelling.. It should bo provided as woll for tho sur rounding districts as for tho city. 2. Also a means of removal of persons alllicted with contagious diseases to the hospital, such ns a cab.expressly kept for that purpose alone. (I hear Cousins nnd Atkin aro building an ambulance) 3. Tho publio should be informed, in every possible way, of tho great advantages of re-vaccination, and should bo urged to have this done without waiting for an outbreak of small-pox. The recent statement, regarding the perfect freedom from this disease of all officers and servants of the Small-pox Hospital in Lon don, during a long period (I believe GO or 70 years), should be mado as public ns pos sible, as a proof of the efficacy of re-vacci nation. L Tho provision of a large supply of vaccine lymph from the Government in stitution (in Wellington, I think). 5. The provision of a good supply of disinfectants, xind of bedding aud clctliing for any pa tients. G. Tho Hospital Committeo would be the body to take into consultation rc farding tho hospital. — Wm. Stockwell, ~8;C.5., Edin. P.S.-I shall be ablo to undertake ro-vaccination of tho public, pro vided a suitable placo and assistance from Bttendants, to keep order and pas? the people on, in a few days.

BAY OF ISLANDS COAL COMPANY.

Half-Yearly Meeting,

The half-yearly meeting of the Company was held to-day, Mr J. C, Firth presiding. There wero 10 shareholders present. Tho half-yearly report of the directors was read as follows:—" The directors beg to report that the salesjof coal for tlio past half-year have been 12,506 tons, the strike of the miners at tho beginning of the year having, with other causes, tended to diminish tho quantity sold, as compared with that of the previous six months. The seam of coal has not undergone much change. The production has somewhat increased, although a good portion of the workings is still in faulty ground. It is intended shortly to put down another bore hole, at a point agreed on by the General Manager and Mr McKay, Government Geologist. Tho railway has been handed over to Government, and tho whole line, from Kawakawa' to Opua, is now being worked by them. The steam cranes sup plied for shipping coal having been proved unsuitable, the matter was brought under tho notice of the Public Works Depart rnent, by which steps have been taken to remedy the defects. Tho directors have endeavoured to dispose of the steamer and barges, but, so far, without any result. The accounts presented herewith show a marked improvement on those of tho pre vious half-year. Tho prico of coal has lately beon reduced one shilling per ton. With this reduction tho directors hope for an increased sale of coal, and trust that the business of the current half-year may show a still further improvement on that of tho six months just ended.* The balance-sheet showed :—Liabilities : Capital, L 30.000 ; resorve fund, L 2.000; debts and li.bili.ies, overdraft Bank of New Zealand, 14,510 14s Id. ; money orders issued but not presented, L 723 10s Od ; amount due to Government for royalty, L 5.386 16s 4d ; bills payable, L 331 8s 9d ; debts due by Company, L5!6 0s 2d— L 43.469 Is lOd.

(BY I'AIILE-

COVYRIUHT.)

London, August 7. A letter received at Cairo from Goneral Gordon, dated Khartoum, Juno 24, asks for information concerning the expedition which is to bo sent to his relief. His letter further states that Khartoum is being

attacked by 10,000 rebels.

Lord Northbrook's Mission,

DOCKING THE TRIUMPH.

At half-past six this morning tho steamer Triumph, in charge of Captain Fisher, Deputy Harbour-master, and in tow of the steamers Rotomahana, Victoria, and Annie Milbank, loft the Railway Wharf to be docked. Sho was thon drawing 12ft. Sin. for ward, and Il*ft. lOin. aft. Everything wont well until tho Triumph was fairly'pointed for the dock oil' Queen-street Wharf, when tho l-otoniahana'.s propeller struck » rope fender, and every blado was knocked oil. Tho Rotomahana wont into Freeman's Bay for repairs, and the Victoria and Annie Milbank continued towing. The Triumph, however, took tlio ground about half-way between tlio end of tho wharf and tho dock, and sho had to be loft there. Tho falling of tho tide of course prevented any further oll'ort to movo hor to-day. Her propellor, however, was removed, and she will bo taken alongside of the dock this evening. It is very doubtful, however, if she will bo docked, the tides at presont being very bad. At high water to-day, for instance, thero was only 12ft. Sin. of water on tho sill, while the Triumph \ias drawing 12ft. lOin.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Tun weekly meeting of tho above body is being held this afternoon. Present: Messrs S. Luko (in the chair), 1). Goldio, J. W. Carr, and J. M. Clark.

Value of Board Propkuty.—Tho follow ing approximate estimate of value of schools, dwelling-houses, fittings, and othor pro perty owned by the Board at .'list March, ISB4, was submitted: — School buildings, including outhouses, i'8H,247 2s (id ; school furniture and fittings, _:10,70'i; teachers' dwellings, includ ing outhouses, £25,25.l 10s ; area and approximate value of school:sites and play ground, £40,000 25,, area being 031 acros 1 rood and 17 perches ; area and approximate valuo of othor land held for purposes of teachers'dwellings, gardens, paddocks, Sec, ;iOS acres .'1 roods and 27 perches, £0,370 15s.

Girls' Hioh School.—A letter from the Edue.-tion Department stated that tho Board's application for a payment on account of tho Girls' High School must remain over until a voto for the purpose has been takon. Eli'mkxtaiiy Science.—Tho Minister of Education applied for full information as to the steps taken in tho Normal School to prepare students for tho work of instructing their future pupils in tho elementary scioncc and drawing prescribed in the Standard regulations, and what arrangements aro made to tako advantage of tho teaching of .cience in tho University College, and of the teaching of drawing in tho School of Art. .Mr McArthur forwarded to the Board by way of reply a iist of 22 students of Tiaining Collcgo who are attending tlio lectures of the University Collcgo.—lt was resolved to forward the in formation asked for.

Unauthorised Closiso ok School.— A letter was received from Mr A. Bongo, headmaster of DjvonjortSchool, in reply lo Board's demand to know by what right he had closed tho school earlio. than usual in on tor to permit somo of the pupils to play a football match. A memo. on tho subject from tho In spector having also beon read, it was agreed to send t. Mr Bongo a copy of tho caution given to Mr Worthington. T'urir, Teachers' Examination. — Tho following report from the Chief Inspector on tho recent examination of pupil teachers was received and adopted:— I have tho honour to report that tho an nual examination of pupil teachers and candidates for employment was held at Auckland, tlio Thnm.s, and Waikato, on the Ist, 2nd, 3rd, and lth Jul/. Those examined wero divided into four classes : —

Ist. Pupil teachers of tho first year

2nd. Pupil tear-here of tho second year. 3rd. Pupil teachers for the third year (voluntary). 4th. Candidates for employment. The following tablo shows the number examined in each class, tho number that passed, and the number that failed : — _-. , I'd § 3". o G rode. «g __ ~i. ___ Pupil Teacher, Ist year.. 72 31 23 18 Do. 2nd year.. II lti 2(i 2 Ho. .rd year.. 2 2 0 0 Candidates 7 1 0 _ Total . 125 5_ 19 23 It will bo seen that the plan of partial passes has been adopted from tho teachers' examination. This has been done to meet the caso of thoso whoso papers were on tho whole meritorious, but who failed in ono or two subjects. It is proposed to examine at a future time the first year pupil teachers who have partially passed on the subjects in which they avo defective. This will be done in such manner as may bo found most c.n venient.

As regards tho pupil teachers of tho second year who have partially passed, it is proposed to allow them to pa-s on condi t:o.i of their coming up at the next annual examinations iv their weak subjects. Ir will te remembered that, according to the regulations, the coming up for examina tion at the end of tho third year is optional. It is considered that by adopting tho propose I course anything liko harshness will be avoided, and at tho same time effi ciency will bo secured. It will be under stood that no one is recommended for a partial pass whose papers arc not of con siderable morit.

It will be observed that a large number of partial passes is shown among the second year pupil teachers. Nearly all the passes of this section were good, and the partial passes have been given to secure greater efficiency. At tho samo time tho pupil teachers do not suffer.

The passes, taken as a whole, were very satisfactory, and showed a marked improve ment on previous years. Arithmetic was the weakest point, but the paper was per haps rather difficult. I expected higher marks in school management ; those obtained were respectable, thoy should have been excellent, 1 have no gross errors to call attention to. I had to noto bad spell ing on ono paper only, and that was not written by an Auckland-trained pupil teacher.

As a rule very fair composition is ob. taincd here from pupils in the third stand ard. It is not likely therefore that the teach... should be very defective. 11. J. O'Sullivan, Inspector.

The Election 'Holiday.—Letters were received from tho Head-teachers of tho Poii_nby, Grafton Koad, Otahuhu, and Richmond Road schools with referonco to tho unauthorised closing of them on the afternoon of the 22nd ult. A memo, by tho Chief Inspector stated that tho excuses made by somo teachers in thi. matter were altogether inadequate That without any authority whatever teachers should take on themselves to add to the holidaysseemed to him mostobjection able. If this sort of thing were connived at, tho consequoncos would bo most injurious. —It was decided to caution the teachers in question.—A letter from Mr Barlow drill master for Thames schools, was accepted as satisfactory. Essat Competition.—Tho Secretary of the Auckland Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals wrote, announcing its intention to offer four prizes fer the best essay " On the Usefulness of Domestic Animals to Man," to be competed for by the children attending the public schools, and requesting that a special afternoon should be set apart for tho writing of the essays under the masters' supervision, so that they may be sent in by the Ist Sep tember.—lt was agreed to co-operate in the matter, the date mentioned, however, being altered to the Ist of November.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

Exciting &. Unexpected Developments.

Wellington, this day

Arrival of Mr Ormond.

Mr Ormond arrived overland last night, but nothing lias transpired regarding his viow of the situation.

Grey's Star again in the Ascendant.

Since yesterday I have substantial reasons for changing my opinion regarding the per son whom the Premier would name if asked by the Governor for advice. Your readers must understand there is the greatest diffi culty in arriving at certain knowlegcd on this subject. Ministers keep their own counsel, and the supporters of every leader naturally believe and declare in favour of their own man ; but all seem to concur that the choice lies between Grey, Vogel, and Ormond. My own conclusion, formed by piecing together information derived from most reliable sources, is that the Ministry would name Sir George Groy as the man who should ho asked to undertake tho formation of a Government. What course, if left to himself, tho Governor might tako is not likely to be hinted at by His Excel lency to anyone ; but tho belief now pre vails that he will certainly not inelino to tho selection of Sir Julius Vogol. Tho obvious objection to Mr Ormond is that ho was never mentioned during the elections as a loader, and he has not a single rocog nised follower.

Tho Ministerial Resignation.

Major Atkinson wont to Government House this morning to tender the resigna tion of the Ministry. Ho will announco the result to tho Houso when it meets this nttornoon. It is usual thon for any mombor who has been, summoned by tho Governor to riso in his placo in tho House, and stato that ho has boon asked and undertaken the formation of a Government.

Tho Coming Premier

Thero is no doubt whatever in my mind that tho loading nrticlo in this morning's " Times " reflects tho Ministerial mind, and that if tho Governor asks for advice tho Premier would recommend that Sir Georgo Groy bo sont for. In doing this Major Atkinson would consistently follow his statement in tho House last session that ho recognised no loader of tho Opposition except Sir George Grey. The estimates of election return, only give about 21 members who declared in favour of a qualified support of Sir Julius Vogol, and that, in a House of ninety-five, is insuffi cient to placo him in tho (>osition of recog nised leader, and Major Atkinson would probably consider that ho was bound by tho position of parties in last session. My own opinion, howovor, is that tho Governor will not ask advice, and tho course ho will pursuo in furnishing himsolf with Ministers is the

inorest coujooturo.

Tho Government Organ States Sir George Grey's Claims.

Tho "Now Zealand Times" of this morn ing, discussing tho .situation, says: "Tho Ministry will, if possible, avoid giving tho Governor any ndvico regarding thoir suc cessors." It then proceeds to ask how His Excellency, if left alono, is to decido upon the propor course to take. Ho cannot go about and Inquire how many members aro favourable to a particular londor, and must look to tho former position of parties. Tho >' Times " concludes by declaring that Sir (Icorge Groy is tho only man who can unite tlio Opposition, and that ho ought to bo permitted nn opportunity of attempting to form a Government.

Party Intrigues and Plans.

In this connection I am assured that tho statement that Sir Georgo Grey nnd Mr Dargaville met Sir Julius Vogel on Tuesday is positively untrue, and that thoy havo hold no communication whatever directly with him sinco they camo to Wellington- Negotiations havo, howovor, been carried on by Mr J. C. Brown, who is enthusiastic for a Groy-Vogel combination. Mr Ballance also favours it, and Mr Stout has taken part, expressing tho opinion that thoro is no material divergence betweon tho opinions of tho two londors, both being agreed upon the main question of tho substitution of a land tax for a property tax.

Sir Georgo Grey a Stumbling Stone,

Thero is among the Opposition, howovor' a section who Uneaten to withdraw if Sir George Groy is taken into coalition, anj Mr Stout's alternative .suggestion that a meeting be hold and a leader elected, tho minority submitting to the majority, hu s not proved acceptable. Negotiations have so far absolutely conio to nothing, and if Sir George Groy or Sir Julius Vogel wero summoned by tho Govornor, their hands would be absolutely free in chosing col 'eagues. Somo of Sir Georgo Grey's sup porters, notably Mr Dargaville, favoured a Grey-Atkinson combination ; but this alsoi I believo, has rosultod in nothing, thcro being likewise ajsection of irreconcilable miti-Greyites among Major Atkinson's sup porters. At present, therefore, whoever may bo chosen to form a Ministry will enter upon tho task untied. LATER. Wellington, 2 p.m. I am ablo to say positively that tho Government will adviso His Excellency to ask Sir Geo. Groy to form a Ministry, in tho event of their advice being asked. His Excellency will not, of his own choice, send for Sir Julius Vogel; but it is by many believed that ho will ask for direction from his Responsible Advisers, in the absence of any data whereupon he might arrive at an independent conclusion. Sir George Grey will therefore probably havo tho task of forming a Government entrusted to him. SIR JULIUS VOGEL STILL LAME. Sir Julius Vogel was wheeled down to tho Houso to-day.

RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.

Wellington, 3 p.m.

Tho House met at 2.30 this afternoon

Major Atkinson announced that tho Go vernment had tendored their resignation, and that His Excellency did not ask any advico as to who should bo sent for, and

consequently no advice wa3 given. Major Atkinson moved tlio adjournment of the House till Thursday next, at 2 o'clock. This was agreed to, and the Houso rose.
