John War.! one of tho watchmen at the Auckland Timber Company's mill, responding to the first, cries of " lire," says that tho flames appeared to him to bo situated on the basement lioor, about 80 foot back from tho front where the watchman is ac customed to hang his lamp. lie at once returned to the mill, alarmed hfs fellow watchman, and rang the factory bell. Long before the bell was rung tho fire had burst through the rouf of the New Zealand Timber Company's mill, and many people living in Collego Koad and on Mount St. Mary, having perceived it, were on their way to the scene. Accidents, etc. A number of the employes of the N.Z. Timoor Co. lost their tools in the fire, and many of tho sufferers in this respect had previously lost tool by the fire at tho Union Sash and Door Co.'s mill. Several of the members of tho Fire Brigade met with trifling accidents. Branchman F. Findlay hid his thigh hurt, and junior Fireman Carke is suffering from a ricked ancle. Mr j W G. Connolly sustained an injury to his j fact. 'An employe of the Auckland j Timber Company, named A. Neil, fell into tho sea, " but was fished out none the worse for his wetting, though ; he lost a wa'.cli and chnin from his j waistcoat pocket. W, Parker, another; employe, sustained a bruise on the head ' through a p!«nb from one of the stacks j falling on him. Most of the Fire Brigade j men are suffering from severe colds in con- | sequence of the wetting and exposure. .

Miscellaneous.

About 120 men and boys, employees of the New Zealand Timber Co., have been thrown out of employment by the disaster. A meeting of the directors of the Company was to have been hold today, for tho purpose of considering what steps will bo token. It is considered probable that the mill will bo re-orected without dolay. Several thousands of persons visited the scene of tho firo yesterday afternoon. ]t was still smoking, as indeed it was also to ri ,y. Tho suddenness with which the firo broke out, is proved by tho fact that at 932 the tramoar passed the mill, and there was no sign of firo, ton minutes latel thoplacowaiin a blaze. Insurances. The New Zealand Timber Company's loss is calculated at between £S,OOO and £9,0: 0, of which £3,000 is covered by a policy in the Norwich Union Oilice. That Company has, however, roinsured £'2,500 of the risk, go that H« loss is but £300. Tho re-insur ancoa aro as follow : — Phffintx ■ ■ •• £S(W Kite Insurance Association .. .. 50f! Colonial 230 Nationil fj>o New Zealand ~™ Kquitablo -•.'« Union 2. : »0 United _2jO Total £-.»00 Proposals for an additional insurance of £3,000 had been forwarded to Sydney on Thursday last. Unfortunately for the Com pany these proposals will not benefit them, as information of the firo will reach Sydney by cable before the arrival of the s.s Hinga rooma. Prior to the Slat of December last, the South British Company had a risk, fur £1,500, but, having a heavy policy on the Auckland Timber Company, de clined to renew for more than £2,000, making £10,000 om the block. The Auckland Timber Company's machinery and mill is insured in the South British Office for £8,000 but the timber in the yards is not protected. About .1"1,500 worth was destroyed, which is thus a dead loss to tha Company.

With reference to the workmen's losses by Saturday's fire, a correspondent writes : —" The hardest case arising out of the New Zealand Timber Company's fire is the loss of workmen's tools. They have boon denied the protection that is afforded to almost everyone else—the opportunity of insuring against loss by fire. Tho writer of this made inquiry at one of tho offices with a view to insuring between one and two hun dred pounds worth of these workmen's tools, and was told they would not take the risk at any price. One of the sufferers went and made a proposal to cover twenty pounds worth of tools, but was absolutely refused. A generous public will know how to sympathiso with such sufferers, and how to express it. I accidentally met several of these workmen in the street this morning, and suggested to them tho desirability of forming a Co-operative Insurance Society to meet this special risk amongst themselves, and they are considering the matter. Who will help in this wise and provident ar rangement?"

IRISH ASSASSINATION

AN MURBrr^.i IH (VDONOVAN

(UY CABLK—COPYRIGHT.)

Nkw Vohk, January 10.

A kksious affray occurred to-day at O'Dono van Ros^a's otiice in this city. It appears that an Irishman, a member of tho Invin-

eiblo pirty, was invited into Rossa's oilice, and while there was sot upon and stabbed to death by other members of tho Society. Tiie ciime, it is stated, was committed on account of the murdered man having divulged the secret plans of the Society. O'Donovan itotmi disavows all complicity in tho affair.

THE FRENCH RECIDIVISTE PROPOSALS.

(BY CABLE —COPYRIGHT.)

I PARIS, January 10. Is the supplementary report on the Reei divi-ite Bill the Committeo of the Senate admits that New Caledonia is glutted with j convicts and considers the transportation of i furthor shipments to Noumea undesirable. Loxiinx, January 10. In commenting on tho present position of the recidiviste bill tho "Times" to day i b&Hoves that the measure will ultimately pasa, but that, it will practically remain a dead letter. Report on tho Rocldlvlste Bill. London', January 10.—M. De Verniae, reporter of tho Committee of the French Semite appointed to examine the Re cidivisto Bill, has submitted tho second re port of the Committee. In thu opinion of tho Committee, New Caledonia would bo quite unable (o absorb the number of reeidivistes that would require to bo do ported, nnd Cayenne was unsuitable for such a purpose. As in the previous re port, the Committee havo left the question of places to which convicts shall be relegited optional with the Government. It is probablo that tho Bill will bo passed without opposition.

THE HINEMOA'S MOVEMENTS

A certain degree of mystory still appears to enshroud tho movements of the Go vernment steamer Ilinemon. Steam was got up again yesterday forenoon, and the ilinemoa left the wharf about one p.m. for the Thames, and from thoncc fhe proceeded to Waiwera. The Hon. Messrs Buckley and Tolo visited tho Hospital, &c, at the Thames, and then the steamer took her de parture again late last night for Waiwera, where she arrived early this morning. Sir Julius Vogel expected her last night. He wa-s to havo had an interview tins forenoon with Messrs Buckley and Tolo. and tho steamer was expected back in the afternoon. Nothing was done at tho Thames in tho direction of shipping stores or taking in coal. Tho Hon. J. A. Tolo oxpected to leave Auckland for Wellington to-day. The conference at Waiwera was on the vexed question of Samoan annexation, and Earl Derby's positive refusal to sanction tho Now Zealand expedition. It is reported that ilis Excellency the Governor and his advisers are also seriously at variance.

Visit to Thames.

Tiiamks, this day. TIIK Hincmoa arrived off Tararu yesterday afternoon, having on board Hon. Messrs Buckley, and Tolo, Messrs Cooper, Mitchell, and ono or two others. Tho party landed at Rocky Point, and were driven into town, and after visiting Thames Hospital and Old Men's Refuge,departed for Waiwera. The vessel only remained in harbour for about four hours. No effort was made at coaling or shipment of stores.

THE ANNEXATION OF SAMOA.

[UV CABLE.—COI'TRIfIHT.] Prince Bismarck on Now Zealand's Action. London", January 11. Piuses Bismarck instanced tho action of New Zealand in regard to the proper an nexation of Samoa, as a proof of the delay on tho part of Germany which was damaging to her interests. He also men tioned that a it port was current that tho natives of New Guinea were oppos ing the German occupation, and implying tint such was due to English incitement. Tho report has caused some sensation amongst the Berlin papers. Annexation of Samoa. London', January 11.—Lord Derby is not in favour of annexing Samoa as proposed by NZ. Government. A telegram from Berlin states that in well-intoimed circles there it is generally believed that both Ger many ami tho United States protest against, tho annexation of Samoa by Great Britain. Insidious Policy of Germany. London, January 10. Fearing competition, Prince Bismarck has refused To discloses or indicate tho future colonial policy of Germany. Proposed Annexation Council. Earl Grey has suggested to Lord Derby the advisability of referring all important questions respecting annexation to a coun cil selected from the various Agents- Gcnurul for the colonies. Lord Derby refuses to sanction the annexation of Samoa by New Zealand,

New Zealand and Samoan Annexation

(BT TRMMRAPH—OWN CORESPONDENT.)

WKixnraTOX, tins day. The "Post" of Saturday night says:— The idea of the New Zealand Government determining to act in opposition to the. wishes of the Imperial Government, and on its own responsibility sending the Hinemoa down to annex Samoa is so supremely ridiculous that wo cannot believe the Gov ernment ever seriously contemplated such a proceeding. That they are perfectly right in doing all in their power to urge the Imperial Government to move in the matter must at once bo admitted. The importance of Samoa being preserved from the grasp of any foreign power is vory great to this colony, and no efiort should bo spared to induce the Imperial Govern ment to securetheserich islands. If,instead of affecting a foolish and useless mystery. Ministers had taken the people of the colony into their confidence when the ques tion first arose, their hands might have ere

tins been a good deal strengthened by a de monstration of public feeling in the chief centres of population, and the Goeernment might have been enabled to assure Lord : Derby that the people of New Zealand were I thoroughly in earnest, and in entire accord i with the Ministry in the rootter. Mims ' tors, however, were apparently disin i clined to seek the support of public i opinion, and preferred to act on . their own personal responsibility. v\ c ! hope that by co doing they have not I prejudiced the object they have in view. However earnestly they may feel the urgent necessity tor the annexation of Samoa, they are quite powerloss of them selves to do anything more than urge the Imperial Government to action. Unless they have Imperial authority, they can do nothing effectively. If, in despite of Lord ' Darby's decision, they send the Hinemoa down to Samo i to hoist the British flag, the action wouli have no more effect or significance than if they hoisted all the ilaps of Maryatts or the commercial I coae. No annexation. in defiance of Im • perial oader would be recognised by any foreign power,, and the expedition would amply be a filibustering one. The New Zealand Government has no more power or I authority to annex Samoa than any country. ; Even the celebrated Lone Star Society, formed in Aladama in IS4B to "extend the i power, influence, and commerce of the 1 Unitod States over the whole of the j western hemisphere and the islands of the 1 atlantio and pacific oceans," had to send an by sentence of Court-martial, and the leader General Lopez, was garotted. If heliincmoawent clown to Samoa.without Imperial warrant those on board^ would certainly vender themselves liable to be -treated in a somewhat similar inannerand if there was a German man-o -war aboat, "it is quite possible that the in vadcrs XhC specrlily find . themselves tottoM. The law of .mtions JjwW afford no protection to such an .expedition but would, in fact, justify itsbeing treated

!as a political one. The Hinemoa has no I commission on board to legalise her proaenco in Samoan waters, and slio might not im probably bo seized as a lawful prize. nir'iii tvh-i.-r. mijchl bn infiictci I'ly'tbn ul present recognised Government of Samoa probably at German suggestion and with German assist.inco. There is generally a German man-o'-war about Samoa, and tho Hinemoa, on such a mission bent, would" almost certainly meet with a very warm reception of a docidedly unpleasant character. Ministers will scarcely be so fonlish as to authori.so an absurd, ami very risky expedition of tho kind.

EXTRA ORDINARY. OCCURRENCE.

A Hospital Patient Struck Dead by Lightning.

Information respecting an extraordinary occurenco transpired at tho meeting of the Hospital Committee this afternoon. The members of that body were electrified by receiving a requisition from tho house steward for the pro vision of lightning rods for the Hospital ; the reason for tho request being that a patient had been struck dead by lightning last Sunday fortnight. As this wus the first intimation either tho Committee, the press, or the public had received of tho occurrence the astonishment of the Committee was quite natural. On turning up tho report of thcjHouse Surgeon it was found that the death of a patient named Spargo from concussion of the bruin was mentioned.

The Fisheries Bill.

(To tho Editor.)

Sits,—As one of the few men who havn con sistently opposed tlio Fisheries Ililis of various Governments for some years past, allow me n. little space to state tlio reasons why so determined an opposition was mndo to the bills in question. Wo felt that the bills were introduced not so much for tlio preservation of lish as for tlio destruction of an important industry. Men were meddl ing with it who prcbably did not know tho merits of the case. The earliest bills bore tna paternal name of the Hon. Mr Chamberlain That of itself looked fishy. The Ghainberlin family own an island which is surrounded by oyster rocks, where boatmen have collected oysters year after year Tho Chamberlins look upon the oysters as their own privtito property, and to my knowledge are very inhospitablo to boatmen or others who may happen to land on the island. Witness an advertisement a short timo ago in your columns threatening to prosecute any boatmen taking sand tr sho'.ls from the islund. Is not that virtually laying claim to tho foroshoro ? It was because of these things, because of the offensive natuie of the clauses, because the bills tended to place- too much power in the hands of the Go\ernor-in-i ouncil, and because we considered the timo had not ar rived when such intevferflnco was necessary, that the Fisheries Bills were opposed. A bill with proper regulations would bo vvolcomed, no doubt; but i warn tho fishermen of Auck land to guard against a bill that will ciippie their industry, or they may tie a knot that with all their skill they will be unable to loose.—l am, &c., Joseph Lowndks.
