THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

(BY TKI.KUKAI'H. SI'ECIAL UKI'OHTKI!.)

WKtI.IS.iTOX, this day

Tlie Cabinet-Making Mess,

Sut .hi.n s Yi>i,'i:r. was engaged all yestor

day afternoon endeavouring to tinoolli Ihc rutiled feeling.-of Im Canterbury .-supporter.-', Mr Wakolield was summoned for an inter-

view, and a meeting of Yokel's povsonal

supporter? is convened for 11 o'clock

to-day. Mr Richardson, it is understood, i.s reconciled to his omi-.-ion from the Cabinet ; part of the piograinnio being a null-political Railway Board, for which two or three Immlxmiiuly-paid eiunmis>i,>ners will be required. Wer.t Coast Members. Mr Keddon is still very disalVccted in his allo'/ianno to Sir George Grey, but will pro bahly come round ; nnH he cannot in any en.se carry the other West Const members with him.' Which i:u\c :•-. the Stronger 7 It is a curious fact that each party in pricking oil n card claims about ,v_\ and 'jives the other side I'-'. 1 incline to think, however, that the Atkinson-Grey count is most reliable. All their followers have been working well together, while the now party depend upon defections. Mr Macandrew's Illness. A medical examination ofMr Maeaudrew slight imguluvity from ovor-exortion, and he is now nearly well again. Mr Hamlln and the Vogol Party. Mr Itamlin assures me there is no (ruth in the'report about any intention on his part, to join the Yogel combination. He says it is a canard pure and simple. A Thunderbolt to Canterbury.

The oiler of a portfolio to Sir Geo. Grey yesterday fell like a thunderbolt upon the many Canterbury supporters of Sir Julius Tog'l. Some of them llatly refused to credit, it until convinced by the acknow ledgments of tho members on thior own .side who had conducted tho negotiations. The object of Messrs Macandrew and Montgomery in holding back from ac ceptance of portfolios has evidently been to see what accessions of strength could be obtained by lobbying among the supporters of Grey and Atkinson. -Mr Macdndrow, however, was too ill to engago in this, and it has been carried on mainly by Messrs Montgomery, Barron, and .1. C. Brown.

Mr Stout's Attitude.

ilr Stout, before his departure for the South yesterday, is understood to have stated that, ho would agree to anything the majority ol those remaining behind might decide.

Placing the Members of the Now Cabinet.

The "Post," last night, say* Mr Mont gomery will take the portfolio of Public Works, and Mr Macandrew that of Colonial Secretary. The same paper again strongly advocate* Mr ilnmlin as tho Auckland representative in Hie Cabinet, and also mention* Mr Tole as a suitable maii. Of course here is no chance of getting tlio latter, and Hie former equally repudiated tlie idea. Tlio Strength of Parties. Careful pricking of cards shows at least f>2 supporters of a (irey-Atkinson combina tion, against 43 for the Vogel-Stout party. Otngo Discontent with the Proposod Cabinet. The "Otago Daily Times" would not like to nee a (tovcvnmont formed of men with such eti'ong provincial views as Messrs Stout, Macandrew, mid Mont gomery, and it therefore recognises that the North Island will have very good reason to complain of such a Government. It says: " The Radical element has obviously far more than its fair share of influence, and, though the policy may ba moderate, we confess the names mentioned allord anything but the assur ance of moderation. With all due vespert to Mr Stout, his is not a name which in spires confidence in the position of Premier, nor does the predominating influence of Messrs .Montgomery and Macandrew di minish our fears. We regret, toheai it is) lie voices of the Otago members 1 hat put Mr Stout, in a position he has not sou;_;..t. Sir Julius Vogel, of course, knows his own business best, lint we cannot help thinking if he had been able to go about, the lobbies himself, and were better acquainted with tlio feelings of tho House and the colony, he would not have estimated the influence of Messrs Montgomery and Maeandrow mj highly, and delivered himself so completely into their hands ; for this is what the pro posed Ministry means. A Ministry could bo formed which could give satisfaction to the House without including either, if Sir Julius Vogel ventured the attempt; for though he could not. moot tho House with an assured majority, we are confident a Ministry which was personally strong would attract support from many who were elected as adherents of Major Atkinson. It is, for tunately, very doubtful if the Canterbury followers of Sir Julius Vogel will accept the choice lie has made, and though we should s-ogret to see Sir Julius have to give up the attempt to form a Government, we believe that this would bepreferable to the formation of such a Government. Sir Julius himself is certainly acting unselfishly in resigning the Premiership at the bidding of a section of his party ; but what shall we say of the greed of Mesai sMontgomery and Macandraw 2nd tho petty vanity which actuates them ? They seem not to mind what policy the Government pursues so long as their lights are not eclipsed by a brighter one. Even if the proposed Cabinet foils to tho ground, thjeir conduct on this occasion will not soon Jjo forgotten." The " Evening Horaia" Rcvieivs the Position. The " Herald " says:—" Sir Julius Yogcl has probably the largest following, but it js still doubtful whether even in the event of his succeeding in getting a Ministry to gether from the four winds of heaven, lie would be able to make .1 hopeful start, or whether the hostile combination, which is eteply a matter of _ OOlir.-r, would bo too powerful for him. it is quite plain that he is not so omnipotent as some of his most fervent supporters ex pected. He is, nevertheless, to all appear ance tho only man in tho House who could form a Government out of its heterogeneous elements. His chief danger lies in the offi eiousness and strong provincial tendencies of somo of his new friends. If he deliver? himself to a clique—as thoro seems to be some fear of his doing—ho is lost. Unless he can form tt fairly representative aiul truly colonial Government, he may" i«st as well givo up the at tempt ! for n 0 other Government could lon-' weather the storm winch would bo sure to° bd raised by provincial jealousy; The outlook, ft r*a*t be confessed, is not very bright; but there is happily some thing to hone for in the character of the House, which is on all hands admitted to be greatly superior to its predecessor. While, theroforo, we muy expect a certain dogree of failure at tlio outset, there is little doubt that a majority of the members will, ere long, find themselves united in support of one or other of the .candidates for the Premiership".

The Auckland Minister

No Auckland member except Siv George Ooy haa yet been formally approached for the Northern portfolio, theugli "feelers" have been put out to several. There seems a disposition to dangle it about, like a bunch of carrote as a bait for votes. Captain Morris is freely mentioned as pro bable, but I tind that he has not been approached on tho subject, being selected mainly in opposition to Mr Bryco's native policy. He seems not unlikely to work with tho new Government if there is any chance of stability.

The Vogelito Conference,

The meeting to-day was of Canterbury supporter* of Sir Julius Vogel, and was only intended to endeavour to heal angry fooling?-

THE VOGEL CONFERENCE TO-DAY.

No Progress Made,

At the nesting of bora hold • to-day at Sir Jnlins■ vogolH il ,v Jo 1y Mt.L WaUcfiokl, Harper, and U^^nf present. They stated tjeir ob joo/lon to Mr Stout as Premier, with Messrs Macandrew and Montgomery in tho Cabinet. A long conversation tooite pwco, in the course of which it was said the objec tion would be considerably neutralised if Sir Julius Vogtl were given the Premiership or one of the members named were with drawn. They objected to Mr Montgomery more than to Mr Maeandrew. Sir Julius Voeol said he believed the arrangement made was the only possible way of gaining .a majority in ths House. The deputation dissented from this, and believed it Sir Julius Vogel formed a Cabinet, with now men, it would command a substantial following. No conclusion was come to, the meeting finally adjourning tilj two, in order that Messrs Walker, Lance, and other Canterbury members may attend. Meanwhile, the entire business of Cabinet ■amking is suspended.

Tin: third contest between the Australian cricketers and an olevou of All England commenced to-day at Kensington. Tlie weather was line, and as the greatest interest, has been taken in the match, the attendance of spectators was enormous. Tin: ground was iii ■rood order, :md an excellent wickol has been pitched. The All England (cam is composed as follows :—Ur. \Y. ti. Grace, Lord Harris, lion. A. Lyttolton, Mr W. W. Head, Mr A, (.!. Stcele, Messrs Barlow, Raines, L'eat, .Scotlon, Shrewsbury, and Ulyott.

Tho Australians, won the toss and went first to tho wickets, McDonnell and Bannorman being sent in as usual to open the play. The latter soon succumbed, having only contri buted -I when he was caught; Mvrdoeh then became McDonnell's partner, and both batsmen soon became firmly sot. McDonnell hit freely all round and Murdoch being al<o in good form, runs came rapidly. The century was reached without a separa tion being ellected, and the latest telegram from tho Oval states that McDonnell is not out with Si! to his credit, and Murdoch not out with :!(i.

THE TRIUMPH.

Tub temporary caisson having been erected at the mouth of the dock, the water was pumped out this morning, when Mr Eraser examined the vessel from stem to stern. On tlio starboard side ho found not tho slight est sign of damage beyond the hole in the bow. On the port side there was ob served a hole just under the funnel, but the existence of this was known when the Triumph was on tho rocks, With the ex ception of a slight bulge in the cope plates aft of this there was no sign of damage whatever. The vessel's keel, from the hole forward is perfectly straight. I laving made a

satisfactory inspection,' Mr Frasc'r found that (he tide was an unusually high one, and ha considered it too risk)- to resist tho tide owing to tho temporary caisson not being properly braced inside. The water was accordingly let in again, after which tho caisson was strengthened, and at a late hour this afternoon the Dock was again being pumped out. Mr fc'rnser experts hi commence operations on the viva1 I to morrow.

Tho light house keepers at Puysegur Point said no wreckage or tires had been seen lately. They had sighted tlio lvingarooma when passing last Sunday night. They reported that a teak companion, supposed to have belonged to the missing ship, Min-.1-Don, was found by a sealer not long since.

A Press Association telegram adds : — " Those on board tho Hinemoa searched the »hore everywhere, tired guns, and blew the whistle in the Sounds, but faw no signs of castaways. The Kekeno has gone round I'uysegur, and will make a furthor search."

DrxKniN', this day. TitK'local branch of the Salvation Army are i;i deep sorrow over the loss of one of their " Captaius." who has left Dunedin for Mel. bourne with one of the most promising " Hallelujah lasses." Tho young woman who has succumbed to the charms of " Gap taiir' Beddingtield, is very respectably con nected, being a niece of Captain Bendall, whose name is well-known throughout tho colony as Secretary of and Valuator to the Wellington Underwriters' Association. While ir. the Army, Miss Bendall was christened "The Little Wonder," on ac count of her great oratorical powers. Her friends communicated with the police as soon as they heard of her departure, but un fortunately the Wairarapa had left tho Bluff two hours" before the news reached Inver cargill. Tho "Army " observe tho strictest silence on the subject, the officers only ad mitting that the late "Captain" has been discharged from the service. It is rumoured that a subscription is being set .on foot in aid of thfl unfortunate Mrs Beddingtield and two children* who, it is expected, will arrive in Dunedin this livening from Ashburton. Beddingh'eld, when ho enlisted in th.o Army, was a compositor in Christchurch, and is about 30 years of age, while the feu? ono is only 17.

FATAL SCUFFLE RETWEEN MINERS.

(liV BRM'MBAPH. —OWN ONBRKWONDBS*. )

JJctxeijin', this day.

As inquest was held at Queenetown by the Coroner touching the death, of Joseph Savell Mayne. The deceased was, at the time of his death, at Kces Valley, at' the head of fcho lake, where he had bee;: for weeks, in company with some other miners, prospecting the Independent quartz-mining claim. On the evening of Sunday, August 9. about six or seven o'clock, whilst in his hut, an argument arose between himself (deceased being of a \C"y excitable temperament) and .ioasph Mitchell, who had come in from an adjoin ing hut; a miner named Frewer being pre sent. Deceased took hold of Mitchell, and threatened to put him out, when the latter pushed him on to a bed. Mitchell then Jet go deceased, who rose, walked to the fire place, mid reeled down, crying out, " Alf !" Mitchell immediately lifted deceased on to the bed, but he died in his arms, The scufHe lasted about ten minutes. Tho two bud always appeared good friends till then. The men had no intoxicating drink that day, and nc blows were struck. Deceased fell against a box and struck the side of his head." Dr. Douglas, who made a post mortem examination, said that i,od he been consulted at any time he should have advised deceased, to avoid any kind of excitement, as his hearf was so affected that undue excitement would have caused death. Tho jury returned 3 y.erdjcj of " Death from liewt diseaso whilst in & state of excitement." Mayno was a colo nist for more than tWrty years, the earlier portion of which he spent on the Victorian L'ojdfjelds. He and his party were the dis coverers of the celebrated. "WUcannfc nugget. He leaves a wife and family of six grown-up children.

ARRIVAL OF THE TONGARIRO.

Fastest Passage on Record,

(FKOM OCR LONDON COUHKSI'ONDENT.)

fjONliON', June 27.

A niiNTXEMAN from Auckland, who was a passenger by theN.Z. Shipping Company's Tongaviro from Wellington, hua kindly furnished me with particulars of her latest and most remarkable voyage Home, which is the fastest yet recorded. He says: — " You have already seen that the Tonga riro made the run in S minutes less than the Ruapehu—viz., in 37 days '20 hours It minutes, She really did it in several hours less, having to stop for perch ing when she certainly was not " stoaming." But this is not all; she did it on an average consumption of II tons of coal per day. As* than on her previous trip, when the then un precedented run \vas7 hours longer. Further, she burned very much less than the P.ua peliu did. The fact is, she was not pushed at all, excepting from Madeira, whence she made the second greatest run over done, although against head winds all the way, and very strong on the lint day after leav ing Madeira. During her last Mi hours' .-•teaming the Tongariro made 500 miles, or over 14 knots per hour, dead steaming. Her best tlu>/'a run was BS9 miles, but that was clone in 22J hours' steaming, the 24 hours'run (add the H hours balance taken by log) being 357 miles. .She also van 333, " 330, 320, and 324 miles in ditl'eront days. From New Zealand to Kio she had constant favourable winds, and thence constant-head winds. ThoS.E. trades wore bad, and the N.E. trades exceedingly strong with heavy head sea for four days. Two moderate gales wore experienced in the Southern Ocean. The Tongaviro ran as far south as latitude 59.}deg. A delay of five hours was caused by a row with the firemen. One birth occurred and one death (Thomas East Sheary, of consumption). Measles broke out soon after starting from Welling ton, and spread from children to the adults, causing much inconvenience, but no serious consequences. This wns all the unpleasant ness, and the passage was most enjoyable. Captain Haslctt made himself eminently agreeable. Certainly he managed tho ship admirably, and won golden opinions from the passengers. On arrival, he was in vited by the saloon passengers to a cham pagne mooting, where his health was pro posed in highly eulogistic terms by the Bishop of Wellington, and three hearty cheers were then given for him, Ho also received a very complimentary address from the passengers in tho other cabins, In fact, nobody could have been more kind, attentive, and indefatigable in promoting tho comfort and welfare of his passengers', Theolcaulincss, order, mid discipline of tho ship were quite exceptional in my oxperi enee, which now extends over u'O or 70 stoamor passages. The arrangements, nnd provisioning were also excellent, but the planning of the vessel is a great mistake. Sho i?, in general terms, a mere copy of the Kotomahana, on a larger scale, and tho placing of tho saloon aft is a huge blunder. The vibration and shaking caused by tho screw are distressing. As for the Wellington passengers, tho Bishop is much better. Ho began to improve directly wo got to sea, full oil'again in tho cold weather, but improved greatly in the tropics, especially after we left Kio, and ho is now in a fair way towards recovery. I It: did no! suller from sea-sickness, though usually an indifferent sailor. As for myself, lam very much butte. already, having been recom mended a six months visit to England by my medical adviser.

A HARD CASE OF BREACH OF AGREEMENT.

(lIV TKLWiIIAPH —ftWS fOUUFSVONUKST.)

Di'nkiiis, this day

Tl|K case of Fordyce v. the Westport Col

lieryCompany, heard before Judge Williams yesterday, was an action to recover £GOO for breach of agreement. Tlio plajntilT, tin accountant, declared he had been engaged by Mr Hay Dickson, General Manager uf tho Company, at a salary of £:)■>') a year. Fora couple of months tho plain! ill served in that capacity, when ho recoived intima tion that he must go to Westport along with the rest of the stall', as head-quarters were to be removed there, llowover, ho agreed to go there for a month on tlio understanding that after that time ho was to have charge of the Lyttelton agency. When a month elapsed ho was told t he ('onipany would not sanction tho alleged agreement. Plaintiff was nonsuited on terminal grounds, principally on the ground that there was no writtpn contract. Tho Judge, in addressing tho jury, said tho evidence showed tho agree ment was fora year, and that it could not bo determined beforo that timu either by the Company or the plaintiff. As the agreement was made beforo the ensuingycar, there could be no question it was within tho fourth section of the Statute of Frauds. It was not for him to comment on tho morality of the objection raised by the Company, but it seemed to bo a very hard ease.
