TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1885.

For tho cause that lacks assistance, For the wrong that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And tho good that wo can do.

The arrival in port of the steamer Wai rarapa gives the people of Auckland an opportunity of judging how narrow has been her escape from total destruction by fire. Of all dangers at sea that of fire |is the most terrible, and an out break of the devouring element on ship board is an occurrence which tests to the utmost the nerve of passengers, the resource of officers, and the courage and discipline of the crew. In the case of the Wairarapa there would seem to have been nothing to com plain of in the conduct of the three classes named. The danger was faced bravely, the enemy was fought with energy, and the result was that not a passenger had as much as his eye brows singed, and the steamer, though badly scaned by the devouring element, and all her splendid fittings ruined, was able to resume her journey. Captain Chatfield and his officers de serve every credit for their exertions, and we by no means sympathise with the remarks of a Gisborne passenger casting blame on the officers for not havingan efficient watch. To those who know Captain Chatfield such a calumny carries its own .refutation, and in any

case it is unseemly to talk of appor tioning the blame before the fullest inquiry has taken place into the unfor tunate occurrence. In the meantime we assume that everything possible was done to ensure the safety of the ship, and that the fire was the result of an accident beyond the power of human foresight to avert. While sympathising with the passengers who have lost so seriously by the con flagration, it must not be forgotten that the reputation of the ship's company is at stake, and that the Union S.S. Com pany are also heavy losers. In the in terests of all concerned, it is to be hoped that the official inquiry will elucidate the causes of the outbreak which came so near proving a most lamentable catastrophe.

The San Francisco Mail Con tract.—An Opposition Service From Sydney.

A TELKGBAM rocoivod last night from Sydney states that, " Ponding tlio docision of tho Now South Walos Parliament respect ing tho continuance of tho San Francisco mail sorvico, it is understood that an nr rangoment has boon mado wlioroby tho Zoafandia and Australia will run from Sydnoy to San Francisco diroct, calling at Honolulu on route." This our morning contemporary dismisses as n "curious" and unrohablo rumour; but in roality it U what might have boon oxpocted to rosult from tho rocont agitation in Sydney, headed by tho Chambor of Com morco, for tho substitution of n diroct sorvico for tho sorvico arranged with tran shipment at Honolulu. Advices rocoivod in town this afternoon not only confirm tho tidings, but discloso ft fluddon and unex pected chango in tho relations botwoon tho Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and tho Union Company of Now Zealand. It will bo romombored that tho latter Company, who aro tho chiof contractors under the new sorvico rocontly ontorod into by tho Now Zealand Uovornmont, had arranged with Mr Poarco to chartor tho Zealandia and Australia for a timo, until thoir own steamers wcro ready to tako up tho miming botwoon Sydnoy and Honolulu. Tho agitation in Sydnoy must, howovor, have lad Mr Poarco to withdraw, no doubt in tho ho))o of socuring a handaomo subsidy from tlio now (lovernmonti which id ox pectcd to como into power in tho wistor colony. It is, at any rate, clow that tho direct running of tho Zealandia and Australia, is to bo in opposition to tho I^ow Zoaland Sorvico. Mr Hondorson, tho local reprosontativo of tho Union Company, has rocoivod a tolo? gram frpm the hoad office, instructing him that tho Mararon and Alamoda aro to carry tho first mails under tlio now contract. Messrs Brown, Campboll nml Co., agonts for tlio Pacific Mail Company, have also received advices that tho Company's stonniora start a diroct ecrvico from Sydnoy to San Francisco noxt month, calling at Honolulu, but omitting Auckland. This nows is not vory wolcomo ; for of course if tho traffic was insutliciont to pay ono lino of Ktoamcrs, tho running [of two must provo ruinous. VV'lion it is romombeied tliat throo-fourths of tho traflic—passengers and goods—carriod by tho Pacific Mail stcamors was to and from Sydney, it will bo scon what a serious blow to tlio Union Co. will bo tho starting of the Sydney diroct route, as the lattor will naturally rocoivo tho bulk 01 tho trado. If it also secures tlio postal contract from tho Now South Wnlos Govornmont, with tho with drawal of that colony's mbsidy and post ages from tho New Zealand contracts tho result will bo that our Govornmont will havo to chooso between increasing tho sub sidy or abandoning tho contract. The Stuart Ministry, as presently reconstructed, may hold tho reins of Government in Sydney and prcvont such a crisis arising ; but thoro is ovory roaaon to fear tho worst and that Now Zealand w.'ll bo thrown on her own resources for tho maintenance of tho mail servico botwoon this colony and tho United States.

Tho Molbourno Cup will bo run this afternoon, and an oxtra odition of tlio Stak will be issued immediately on tlio rosult

reaching town,

Tlicro was voryj littlo business ilono in tho stock markot to day. Cambrias nro quoto<] : Sellers, 21s. Otlier stockß aro no^lectod. A tow buyers of Land Mortgago and National Hanks at very low rates. Colonial Ranks aro wanted at l'2s Gd, and no sellora quoted. Bank of Now Zcalands aro oll'orod at £21.

Tliei'O is again .1 probability of tho con struction of Ilobson-stroot wharf being pushed on. AtUio Harbour Board to-day, tho Works Committoa recommended that tho Enginoor bo instructed to prepare nnd submit estimates, soundings, and plans for wooden wharf ofl Hobson-streot, say GO feot wido, wharf to bo full length required, nnd provisions mado for letting tho work in sec tions of pay 400 feot, and that tho piling of t'lo eastern pide of tho present whaif be strengthened, and tho spaco botween the ntono slope and piling clocked over. Thoond of tho month which wns expected to decido tho dispute concerning ovortimo between tho Northorn Steamship Company nnllho Seamen's Union has passed nwny without tho anticipated strike. It is said that tho ovortimo was paid, and that in this way tho matter in disputo was amic ably arranged. Throo stowaways were discovered on llio s.B. Tarawcra, which arrived from Sydney this morning, and they wore taken to tho Btation by the water polieo. Their names aro Charles Christio, I'atrick Murphy, and William Barry. Every lino Sunday afternoon tho resi dents in Upper Syinonda ■ street, Kybor l'asa Koad, and Grafton Road can eoe a quartetto of youths seated on tho grass amusing themselves at card-playing. Tho police have been informed of tho occur ronco. Tho names of the lads aro known as sons of well-known and reputable residonts in tho neighbourhood. It is hoped that this hint may prevent a repetition of the practice ; if not, they will certainly receive a summons to appear at the Resident Magis trate's Court. At the meeting of the Parnell Borough Council last night it was resolvod that tho Foreman of Works be instructed to employ double tho presont number of mon on tho roads of tho borough. Yosterday afternoon, Mr Young, of the Railvay Department, was presonted with a fmt-< lass sot of cutlery and oloctroplated ware by his followclerks.on tho occasion of his approaching marriago. Summonses have been issued against sevoral larrikina for window-.breaking nnd othor "high jinks" in Chapol-atreet a fow evenings ago. A meeting of tho Plasterers' Society was held last evening in the Naval Hotol, corner of Karangahape Koad, Mr George Newman in the chair. Forty-sovon members wero in attendance. Eight now members woro elected, ao that the Socioty lias about SO members on its roll. After tho completion of tho ordinary business, Mr Cullen, tho accredited iiolegate to the Eight Hours' Demonstration, addressed tho meeting, and urged upon all membors to do their utmost towards making the demonstration a suc cess. Mr Cullon referred to the difficulty botweon tho Seamen's Union and tho Northorn Steam Shipping Company, and hoped tho Soeioty would give their practi cal sympathy to tho Seamon's Union. A sum of £15 was voted to tho Eight Hours' movement. A vote of thanks to tho Chair man concludod the business. Frank Roevoa is petitioning tho Harbour Board, on behalf of the residonts of Remuoro, to b: allowed to eroct wooden baths on the samo site as used by Mr Bennett, on the edge of Orakei basin. The goneral topic of conversation in town to-day has been the fire on board tho Wairarapa, added zest being giyon to tho subjoct by the steamer's arrival in port. On overy hand surprise has beon expressed that the conflagration was not at once subdued by means of tho "Star" or "Cli max " hand grenade, lately introduced into tho colony. To this tho reply is very simple, viz., that tho Union Company have not provided the steamers of their Hoot with these useful articles. As a proof of tho efficacy of thoss gronades, wo observe from the Wellington papers that on Monday morning, 26th ult., a fire broke out in a large two-story wooden building thero, used as a store. The lessee of the store and his assistants, armed with Hardon hand grenades, attacked tho flames, which, by these means, says the " Post," woro " imme diately and as if by magic almost subdued." According to the "Times" only three of the grenades wero broken, yet this com pletely subdued the flames, though the fire brigade persisted in deluging tho place with wator. For use on board ship the fire hand grenades seem splendidly adapted for preventing the spread of fire and minimising the damage to goods caused by the copious lisa of water.

The Now Zealand Frozen Moat and Stor ago Company havo ronowed their applica tion for permission to sublet their reclaimed allotments. In tho course of a lottor re coivod by tho Harbour Board to-day, tho manager of tho company soya:—With ro gard to reclamation, to which is now to all intonts and purposes complotod, I am directed to roquost that a general sanction to aublot may be grnntod, the objoct boing that a loan may bo negotiated thorcon. It is doubtless within tho knowlodgo of tho Board that the Company's resources have boon very sovoroly strained, owing to tho unnogotiablo naturolof tho titlo to thoso reclamations, on which largo sums havo boon oxpondod. Tho letter has boon ro forrod to tho Financo and Legal Committeo of tho Board.

WRECK OF THE MAZEPPA.

Anotiikr report that tho Auckland schooner Mazoppa has been wrecked reached ua by tho schooner Moilo, which arrived from Friendly Mania this morning. Captain Rose, of the brigantino Myrtlo, which was at Apia wlion the Mailo loft for Auckland, reported that ho had received information of tho wreck of tho Mazoppa at Marshall Island, a small placo situated near Poupo, Caroline Group. Tho vossol is said to havo become a total wreck, that all hands wcro saved, and are now on tho Ransom Fund for Auckland, but that a fidl cargo of copra wus lost. It is also reported that tho wreck was subsequently purohaeod by a Dutch firm.

The roporfc respecting tho loss of tho Mazoppaisdiscredited in certain quarters. It is said that tho only authority for t ho rumour is tho statement of a trader at tho islands that ho had purchased tho wreck and cargo. It is considered very improbablo that thoao on board would soil under such circumstances, while this cour.so would bo contrary to Iho custom pursued by tho linn's agents. Tho vessel is owned by Messrs Henderson and Macfarlano, and is insured for £1,000 in tho Colonial ollico, :CSOO of this amount being re-insured in tho South British. MessrsHonderson oni Macfarlano havo not yet received any positive truth of tho Mazoppa having boon wracked.

On Tuesday, tho 13th October, a grand volcanic oruption took placo in mid-ocean, about 4S miles N.W. of Tongatabu, and caused no littlo oxcitcmont amongst tho Europoan and native population of Nukua lofa, and aa tho great massos of gasoous matter were ejoctod from tho volcano in a cuuoiform shnpo, thoy roso to some thou sands of feet high, and formed themsclvoe into most fantastic shapos, and cirrus clouds of snowy whiteness. Tho I'romior im mediately ordered tho Sandfly to got under way, and, nccompaniod by the Kov. J. B. Watkin, Mr Buokland, and others, immo diatoly proceeded to tho sito of tho volcano. From tho description thoy gave of thosarno, it must have been magniticent in tho ox -11 oino. Thoy stayed all night in cite of tl.o volcano, und had tho pleasure of peeing it cinverted from that of a submarine volcano to that of an ordinary volcano, being about 30ft. high at tho back of the crater. Thoy doscribe the immense nines of gaseous matter as somo 2,000 foot or moro in circumferonco, and piercing to tho skios far above tho cloud. Tho island is still activo, and Captain Lano, «ho has roccntly visited it in the Mailo, slated it is now about 130 ft. high.

IJii Eininenco, who was warmly welcomed at Adelaide by Bishop Reynolds and xoveral clorgy, who went on board, stated that hia voyage from Home had been a very ploasont ono. As regardod the work of tho Catholic Church in Australia, it had prospered well in tho past, aiid ho hoped to boo it succeed far hotter in tho future. I'opo Leo XIII. looked with groat favour and affection upon tho Australian Church. Tho priests who were with him would be dis tributed ovor Australia rather widely. Two Vincentian monks woro about to open a house of thoir Ordor in Sydney. The labours of tho priests would proceod as hitherto. Interference with the present system is not contemplated. Cardinal Mo ran said that the dignity of Cardinal, although it carriod many privileges, did not alter tho relations of the Church to the bishops. Whofc it did was to give tho Australian Church a voice in the highor councils of tho Churchi The Synod,[which has boen announced to be held on his arrival, will commence on Satur day, tho 14th November, and the first public session will bo held on Sunday, 15th. Nothing has occurred since he left for Europe that would make it necessary for tho programme to bo altered.

Tho Roumolian archives have not been ro movod to Sophia, in Bulgaria.

How the Revolution was Eil'ectod

Tlio following is a narrative of tho oventa which led up lo tho coup iVclat at J.'hilip popolia : -Societies havo oxislcd for sovorul months, both in Bulgaria and Eastern Romnolia, whoso objoet has boon tho pro motion of a united Bulgaria. On Thurs day, Soptombor 17, tho commilloo of one of tho above sociotio? at Philippopolis was in formed that at noon tho following day a thousand Bulgarians would cross over into KiiHtorn Houmelia, and th(it) moasures should at onco bo takon to provout (ho entry of Turkish troops into the [irovinco on its Bouthorn side. Accordingly arrangoments were made to efl'oct the latter object. On Friday morning tho rails were torn up on tho Turkish frontier, and the bridgea over tho river Marit/.a were rendered impassablo. On tho Khudupo frontier a cordon of troops wore placed to prevent tho advance of tho Turks from that quator. Moantiuio 1,000 Bulgarians c-osaed into tho southoni proviuco, near Hollora, and procooded by railway to I'hilippopolis. On arrival thoy wero joined by tho main body and tho loaders of tho movement, and together went to tho Govornor General's roEidonco, with cries of " Down with tho Turkish Govorn ment," and "Cheors for United Bulgaria." Soon afterwards a deputation from tho in surgonts went to the Governor's palaco, forced an entry, and mado prisoners of Go vornor Gabriol and tho membors ol tho porinanont committoo of the province. A circular was sent to tho foreign consuls, informing them of what had been done, and requesting thorn to inform their respective Governments that in caso the Turkish troops entorod Easlorn Roumclia, overy in habitant would rather fight to tho death thnn again go into subjection, or abandon their intention of joining their brethren in forming n united Bulgaria. Tho next stop wan to Fond a telegram to Frinco Alox andor, who was at Varna, offering to oloot him king. On receipt of an answer tho I'rinco loft for Tirnova, where ho had convoked a National Assembly o Bulgaria. On Sunday tho Assembly voted an acceptance by acclamation, whero upon tho I'rince telcgraphod to Philip popolis signifying consent, and adding that ho would at onco start for I'hilippopolia. Tho Turkish Ministors received tho nows on Friday ovening and Saturday of what was passing, and on Sunday a Council of Minis ters, presided over by tho Sultan, met to dotorminu what steps should bo takon. Orders wero given to tho Governor of Adrianoplo to concentrate all tho troops possiblo at Moustapha Pasha Bridge, tho frontior town of Boluccir, in Eastern Rou molia, and Vilayet, of Adrianoplo. Russian Intrigues- General Gordon's Views. On Sunday, Noilidoll, tho Russian Am bassador nt Constantinople, was roquosted to visit tho Sultan. It is stated that ho assured Ilia Majosty that his Government knew nothing of what had been preparing, but that, in tho presence of actual facts, his counsel to the people's Ministers would bo to act with deliberation and moderation. Russia was goneially supposed to havo been tho instigator of tho revolt, but it is now statod on tho best authority that tho British and other foroign representa tives have telegraphed to thoir re spective Governments that tho movomont for.the union was purely of Bulgarian origin, that its realisation came as ,a sur prise oven to Russia, and that a recognition of tho union would constitute a guarantee of Bulgarian internal indopondouco. The Russian newspapers at lirst were jubilant at tho action of tho Roumolians ; but tho linnnoss of I'rinco Aloxandor has caused thorn to chango their opinions. Tho London "Times" has published a memorandum on tho Eastern Question, drawn up by Gouernl Gordon in March, 18S0. li.itCaneralUordon dwells on the foolishness of dividing Bulgaria and Koumelia, and advocates tho formation of a united Bul garia, which would be the greatest poseiblo obstacle lo Russian aggression. This was romarkuble prescience; for, failing in thoir endoavoure to secure tho deposition of Alexander, the Russian pross strongly con domns unitod Bulgaria. Tho Turkish Ministry have been dismissed, and a now Cabinet has boon fcraicd, under Kaimil Pasha, Tho Austrian, French, and Gprman Governments havo already informed tho Ottoman Ambassadors that they highly disapprove of the action of I'rinco Alexander, and recognise tho right of Turkoy to lake moasuros for tho

preservation of tho Burlin Treaty. Ir is stated that a Berlin conference on tho subject of Eastern Koumelia is almost docidod upon, the several i'owerj having already intimated their acceptance'of tho proposals.

THE RIMUTAKA IN THE ARCTIC REGIONS.

AN UXTKAOKDINARY VOYAGE

- (Fkom Quit Own Goiuiehpondent,)

London, Sopteinber IS. You will probably havo heard by cable that tho homeward voyago recently completed bytholl.M.S. liimutaka was a disagroeably ovontful ono. According to tho statements of tho saloon passongera who landed at Plymouth, tho vessel loft Wellington in the teeth of a stiff gulo blowing from tho South. Tho sons woro running mountains high, and frequently mado clean breachos ovor tho ship. Two largo boats were swept out of their chocks, and eomowhat severely damaged. Tho galo raged with all its fury for about two days, and after it abated the ship encountered an immense quantity of ice and snow. The weather was bittorly coH.and intcnselyfeltby thopaesengew. Tho ship eventually became literallycoverodwith icicles, and presented tho appearance of a voesel in tho Arctic regions, Tho ropos woro ono macs of ico and enow, oven tho signal halyards boing six times their ordin ary size, and on tho hurricane dock there were six inches of ice, and undor tho foro hatch twelve inches. Tho ship was amongst tho ico for fivo days, and tho thermomotor most of tho tiino registered 10 dogrooa bolow zoro. Eight of tho crew, including the boatswain, woro frost-bitten in their hands, and it was alleged to a reporter of tho "Western Morning News" that they had not altogether recovered ovon yot. At any rate (that journal says) tho boatswain woro gloves up to a fow days before arrival, and then his hands peeled a? if they had boon badly scalded. After leaving the ico the Kimu taka mot with bad weather and strong winds to within threo days of the Horn. Tho Cupo itself was rounded in beautiful weather on tho 10th of August, and from thonco to Rio all went smoothly, calms for threo days after leaving Rio, and then strong winds with moderate seas to Plymouth. On entering the Sound, tho liimutaka is said to havo had a narrow e£Capo from colliding with H.M.S. Agin court, which was moored just inside tho Breakwater Fort. Tho liimutaka came in at the west end of tho breakwater, under easy steam, and was reaching across tho Sound to tako up safo anchorage, thore being a frosh galo blowing, when the Agin court was seen right ahead. Passengers believed a collision inevitable, but the ongines of the liimutaka were promptly put full speod astern, and tho danger wns avoided. Mr Strickland's Opinion. In order to ascertain tho truth with regard to tho complaints alleged to havo boon mado by the passengers) of tho N.Z.S. Co.'s Rimutaka, I this morning interviewed Mr Strickland, manager of tho London oilico. Ho says ho boliovoa tho statements in tho Plymouth papers aro.a tissuo of exaggerations. It was no doubt bittorly cold in tho South Pacific, but tho captain didn't ovcu go 60 far south as usual. Uonerally, tho N.Z.S. Co.'s boats make lat. 50" during tho run down to tho Horn, but on this occasion Captain llallet turned korlh at lat. 65. Things cannot, Mr Strickland thinks, havo been quite so bad as tho landsmen passengers avor, for the lUmutuka mado tho ru>> llomo in much about her ordinary time. Aa to complaints, thoy havo had none ko far. It, an reported, a pro tost was drawn up, it certainly hasn't reached tho oliico. Thorc woro only 12 second cabin passcngoro, and co far aa Mr S. can learn, the only complaint thoy made on board was about tho quality of the butter supplied. Tho talk about a colli sion nearly eventuating in Plymouth Sornil was puro nonsense, It was a pitch - dark night, and great care had in conse quence to be observed. The liimutaka was going dead slow, when she sighted tho Agincourt a ehort distance on", and, of courso, reversed horonginc3. There was, however, nothing at all remarkable in the circumstance.

lhe young Earl of Dudley is about to visit Australia and New Zealand. Hi newly-fitted steam yacht Marchesa left Southampton the other day for Rio where Lord Dudley and his uncle, Mr Moncrieffe, will join her, thence proceeding to aN« Zoaland port via the Strait* of Magellan Tho young Earl inherits to the full h,i mother's splendid beauty and his father! lino physique. Ho will be one of the hand somest as well as one of the richest peers in England when he comes of age, 18 monilg hence, and (needless to say) a great "niatri monial catch." Colonial beauties are, how ever, warned that at present his Lordahipli very carefully "shepherded" by his uncle and a governor, or tutor.

I noto with some satisfaction a reaction in the prices of fro::en mutton. The ten dency in the Metropolitan Meat Mirket towards the end of last week was to firmer prices, and a good clearance wrs effected oa Saturday. On Wednesday there waa a dull appearance with full supplies. The beet Canterbury carcases fetch 3s 2d, bat whore tho meat is fat, lower rates have to bo accoptod. Very few of the Sydney 6heep recently arrived havo as yet been offered st Smithliold. Thoso brought forward _on Saturday scarcely made 2s lOd. Includim (ho Rimutaka's cargo of 14,000 sheep, there must bo at least 90,000 carcases now wait ing to bo disposed of; and as there art several cargoes due in the next fortnight, there does not seem much probability of tho stocks being reduced, Theßiinutaku consignment will rcquiro careful handling lor if there is any eagerness shown on toe part of tho consignees to realise, quotation would at onco give way. The market a very sensitive.
