Tho Telegraph Conference.

The International Telegraph Conference is ut an esd. Yostorday the delegates , signed the dooumont embodying the results of their deliberations, and today they five all on thoir wny home. The Australasian •eprosontativoa have a feather in their cap, but disappointment in their heart. They llttVO won, privately, after strenuous efforts, the concoesion from the Cable Companies that Press moaaages nball, after January next, bo 2s Sd instead of Us 5d per word, but have failed to get any reduction of tlio 10s ()d per word charged on messages from the public in gonur.il. Tho Berlin corres pondent of tho " Times " gavo yostorday a pretty full and authoritative) account of tho negotiations. Tho Australasians do well to bo angry. Mr C. Todd, the representative of South Australia, says thoy had the dis tinct promiso from t,ho Cablo Companies early in tho Confeionco of a reduction to tho public of 2s Od per word, and ho telo fri-aphed to his Gnvernmeat to that effeot. Vlr John Ponder (Chairman of tho Bastorn Company) declares tliat this promiso was conditional on tho reduction of tho European tariff not hitting them too hard. Yetso lato as Saturday last a compromise was ofl'ered of 2s reduction, uubjoct to the consont of Persia and of India to bear thoir Bharc of it. Porsia consontod ; India would not. Tho Australasian repreeentatives.led byMrHen nikor Hoaton, sent a joint telegram to Lord Dutforin ; ho was still obdurato, and advised then to appeal again to tho Companies. The Companies replied that tineo India could not boar its share of reduction, thoy could not reduce. Tho excuse came very handy, though it is not worth much ; they cannot move a two-pound weigh* because India will not lift its two-ounce sharo, for India's part of the proposed 2a reduction would only havo boon 2 Id. Tho real reason of the rofusal is the terrible blow to its Buropoan incomo which tho Bastorn Com pany has sustained within tho last fow days, not only in tho reduction all round of tho European tariff, but in tho successful demand of Mr Floyer, tho representa tive [of Egypt, that that country should come under tho European regime, which will mean a loss of about £70,000 a yoar to tho Company. On Wednesday, tho groat day of the concluding foast oi tho Confer ence, Mr Honnikcr Hcaton tried again fora reduction, backed up by Germany, Austria, Italy, and India, and the groat lforr Von Stophon himself tried his influence and por suimvcnere, but it was of noupo : theEuro poan tariff " as nmendod" will hit hard and Australasia must pay for it. Mr'Henniker Hoaton has como homo breathing forth " throatonings and slaughter " against the Companies. Five shillings a word, ho de clares, would payjamply. And how oaFiily tho Companies could bear a littlo loss to boifin with. Tho Eastern Extension pays regularly 7 per cent., and has an enormous rosorvo fund of more than half a million. Mr H.H. will immediately set himself to movo tho English and Austra lasian Governments to unito in laying the cabio which I mentioned to you somo weeks ago, via tho Capo and Mauritius, pointing out with truth that iu case of war such a cablo would bo almost a necessity, since an enemy could so easily dNablo that by Egypt and tho Rod Hea. Aprofm, the "Tall Mall Gu/.otto" says:—"Tho best thing to which the Imperial Moderation l.Mtfito, if it wants to do any real business, can :■('( itaolf is loagilato for thoulfornativo ruble-ho important also on naval grounds — via tho (!apo and Mauritius." Mr tihnmbevliiln'H Anooilotoa, Mr Chamberlain in hta ."poeehfis i-i usually very apt in n?ing iilimtratiniin to rlinrh his pnihlH, Tlio, other day nt lnvornots, in bin pneoi-h on tlin mofler question, which has boon much talked of, ho tr.ld tho old story of llui Now Zealand chid' who based his claim t;i a piece of land, the right to which w.r- hi ing contested, on tho curious ground that ho and \\U tribe had eaten tho former nwiu r Mr < Shnmboriain thought tho claim to private ownership in land, at least in the Highlands, rested on no other foundation than that of the New Zealand chief. Go:ii,iii About tho Telegraph Conference. Tho Australian dolcgatoa to tho recent Telograph Conference are back in town, and—as is porhaps natural—havo mot with rather a warm reception from tho Anglo colonial mercantile community, who fool bittorly disappointed that eo much talk should havo resulted in nothing. Mr Hennikor-Heaton, tho represontativo of N.S.W., cornea in for most opprobrium. Tho othor delegates aro understood to havo whispered that it was as much his offensive manner and ropcatcil throats to support tho construction of an alternative cablo that prevented an understanding being como to as anything else At tirst thoro was a dis tinct desiro on tho part of tho Com panion to meet tho wishes of Australia, and if Mr 1 [eaten could havo been suppressed, all might havo como right. Tho man who can suppress Mr Hoaton has unfortunately yet to bo discovorod. At Berlin ho simply talked all tho other Aus traliansdown, and «ith tho most melancholy result. At tho closo of tho Conference ho was rudely advised to go to tho — well, Capo, and construct his alternative cablo. Tho meatoaloßman at tho Contral Moat Markot who rocontly committed bigamy in tho character of skipper of tlio Now Zealand Shipping Company's Kaikoura, came up for trial at tho Contral Criminal Court this week, and was sontonced to a lorg term of ponul sorvitudo. It ecoms ho picked up the name of tho vessol from having sold somo of its consignment of frozen icoat.

MELANCHOLY CASE OF DROWNING IN VICTORIA.

Melbourne, Nov. l. A VKIIY sad caso of drowning took places horo today in tho Murray river at Ecliuen, Captain Barnes and his son, 12 years of ago, being drowned. Father and eon were on the steamer .Resolute, which is moored to tho bank of the river insido tho park fonco, whon tho lad foil into tho river. Tho father who is a good Bwimmor, at onoo jumped in to rescuo his eon, but tho lad clutched him around tho nock, and both wont boneath the water. In afowsoconds thoy roso again, but only tbo father's hands and arms wers visiblo abovo tho water, and almost in a moment ho disappeared again, tho boy apparently still clinging to his nock, Mr Birkett, a ship wright, who was near by, jumped into a boat in ordor to save tlio child at tho same time as tho fathor jumped into tho wator head first. In jumping Captain Barnoe struck tho boat, and Birkett was capsized into tho river. Before ho could recover himself and render assistance both father and son had finally disappeared.

Map ok tub Bohouoii.—Or.ulayton eaid that in tho faoe of tho roply from the Kngmcer ho was almost afraid to move the motion of which ho had given notice re obtaining a correct map of the borough. The charges ostiraated appeared excessive. He did not think the borough could stand tho strain of £100 for such a work. Perhapj it would be better to try if it could not bo done cheaper. Ho would therefore wiihdraw his motion.— Tho Mayor stated that tho same work in tho City of Auckland had co3t over £2,000. It was absolutely necessary that thny should obtain tho levels of the stroots beforo tho watormnins were laid. They wished to havo one wolldevined Bchemc, so that they might vvorkßtraißht ahead. —Cr.

Political summary.

LevCKA, October 29,

The month has been a busy one in this particular. The Legislative Council has been in session, and the Estimates have been duly passed. They came down, first of all, at £54,274, and without any word of comment from the Administrator. Hitherto !it has beo'n the practice to forward with them an explanatory measure from tho Governor, remarking on detail and goner ally blowing the trumpet as to progress and prosperity. On this occasion tho two J'.'s are conspicuously absent from tlio picturo, and evidently tho Adminis trator thought that tho least said might be soonest morided. Tho figuiee of Estimates wore £12,464 less than thosofor the year now current, but the unoificials wont down pledgod to retrenchment, and after holdim* a caucus meeting notified the Government that they would vote £75,000, and not a penny boyond, ltathor cool - when tho President of tho Council holds tho controlling vote, and lias used it before now to carry his measures, claueo by clause, in despite of tho solid opposition. But, to Mr Thurston's credit be it said, he met tho unofficials fairly. Ho called an Executive mooting, re-cast the Estimates, knocked off about £5,000, explained tho difficulty of going further, and not only carried his budget without division, but pleased all parties by his evident desire to conciliate. Tho figures now stand: — Anticipated revenue, £84,575, as againot £100,050 for 1885; oxpendituro, £80,660 9s lOd, as against £9G,73S for the year now current. The reductions are very considerable, but it is gonerally held that the still greater falling oft" in revenue will mako necessary still further retrenchment. To effect what has beon done, many of the "more recently appointed Civil Servants are to go to the right about, and expenditure on"public works is reduced to leas than £4,000. An effort was made to dislodgo tho "cadets" thrust on tho colony by the Colonial OMico, but this was unsuccessful, as they hold appointments under special arrangement with tho Imperial Govorn ment So also with tho Governor's salary ; but whilo the unofliciala wore unable to roduco this, the officials allowed them to pass, without opposition, a protest against it, and tho Administrator allowod it to be understood that lie know our absentee Governor would not bo permitted to draw his half-pay. Verily it i? a wholesome and a pleasing thought. Legislation to Suit the Times. . His Honor has been keeping his Nasova word. He has not only reduced the Poly nesian introduction cost to £15 from £25, but at this last meeting he has paseed an ordinance to facilitate tho re indenture of time-expirors. Tho principle is that they may be re engaged ind paid off before the Magistrate of tho district in which they aro to work, instead of being hailed from every part of tho group to Suva. His Honor has also moved to repeal the ob noxious native labour ordinance of 1883, with a view fo substituting other provisions making this labour supply more easily available For all those evidences of a dis position to holp tho people in their time of need ho is duly commended. But his crowning morcy, his special act of consideration, is the introduction of (1) a Now Bankruptcy Ordinance, (2) an ordin ance touching imprisonment for debt, and tho.=o havo boon forwarded to the Chamber of Commerce), ho thai, thono more particu larly interested may havo an opportunity to ofl'or auggci'tioiui! Thcrofnro do tho ponplo cry '' I 'in: //■ Admhmlmli »?■.'" AHr.x-atloiiß in thr- l'artir. Certain of those havo boon efloetorVbut they aro neither ninny nor important. Tho spirit duty li/ib born advanced from 12s to 14s per gallon ; that on tobacco has fol lowed from :ts to 4s ; co that His Honor does not menu men to drink or smoko for nothing. Rico also has been advanced from 10s per ton to 40s, just to got an oilicial fingor on tho long atocking of Rainoe, Sainoe, and Co. Thoso people, it is assorted, aro bo coming bloated plutocrat?, and report docs say, I know not how truo, that there is more monoy standing to credit of Indian coolica in tho Bank of New Zoaland, Suva, than thoro is to that of European. Possibly that might be without Rainee and Co. being overburdened with lichos. But I must not forget to montion one other important par ticular, in which tho tariff has boen amended. His Honor, thoughtful for tho comfort of tho struggling colonists, and desirous that each unfortunate devil should at least enjoy tho opportunity of making a littlo eheol for himself, has taken tho tax off sulphur.

Jubilatory.

This 'att remark most naturally suggests reference to the Jubileo Comniomorutiou of tho introduction of Christianity into the group by tho memborfl of the Wesloyan Missionary Society, which is now in activo progress. Tho ovent itself took place on October 12th, ISIIS, whon the Kev. William Cross and tho Rev, David Cargill, with their devoted wives, laiided at Lakoba from Tonga. In a sketchy lotter such as this 1 will not. attempt to trace tho progress of tho work, or oven to revert to tho unutter able horrors of heathenism by which tho pionoor mombors ot tho mission were sur roundod, and against which they for so many yoara contended. But the rosults are all around us, in a land reclaimed and made habitable. All that Fiji has and is ifc owes directly ok indirectly to tho mission, and it is but right to say that every man of honest thought and earnest purpose will instinc tively uncover his head and stand reverently in the prosonce of tho great work which has been so nobly achieved. The Wesleyan Mission has used its grand opportunity most worthily. It has done what tho Go vernment nover would and nover could have done. It has placed its preachers in ovory villago throughout tho group, and wheresover >t has placed a preacher thoro it has placed a secular teacher, so that to-day it has 1,545 day schools open, which are at tended by 00,000 scholars. Tho jubilee sorvicos havo boon held witli great succobs at Mntailobau, where 2,000 natives attended; at Rewa, where 1,500 woro present; and hero in Lovuka, where on Sunday last your Mr Koid and Dr. Kelynack, of Sydney, preached in tho Theatre to tho largest European congrega tion over assembled in the group. The Rov. A. Keid goes back to you by this boat, but it will bo long before the recollection of tho intellectual pleasure of listening to him will fade from tho memory of his Levuka hearers. Lachrymatory. In contrast to the gladness of those who rovol in tho possession of riches incorrup tible and that fade not away, is the dejection of tho fruit-shippers, who have rocontly been subjected to a very heavy loss through the quarantining of tho Sydney boat. She was nearly a weok be hind her tiino, as she camo down doad slow in expectation of her fato. But up to her time very heavy shipments of fruit were awaiting her, a coneidorablo portion of it being case fruit, pines, &c. When tho boat did como sho was detained for eight days more, by which time not a pine or a banana I was lit for shipmont. It ontailed a dead loss, and it falle the heavier at tho timo of general depression.

At Mr Lennox's, Queen-street, 13 dis played another fine collection of old and rare books imported to the order of Mr H. Shaw. Among the antique volumes is one entitled "Opora Guillermi I >ttrisiensis ) "lsl6, a thick quarto printed in black letter, two columns to a page, in splendid preservation. A huge portfolio of old engravings, made by somo studont of ancient history a great many years ago, contains 160 portraits of Roman Emperors, 64 of Kings of France, and 81 of Kings of Spain. An inteftsting volume is an ediiion of tho Now Testament, dated London, 1589, edited by Dr. William 1( ulks, and containing inpar&llel columnetho RheinM version and the version "commonly used in tho Church of England." The works oj the Father Origen, printed in Koman letters, two columns to a page, in 1572, form two ancient-looking folio tomes. Many collectors would bo glad to possess the "Anatomy of-Melancholy," dated 1660 printed in 4to. Tho original title page appears to be lacking, and to have been re placed by a copy. Mr Shaw is collecting voyages and travels, and there are numer ous representatives of this class of books in the present consignment. Among them may be noticed " Dampier's Voyages? 1703 " in 4 vols., Bvo., "Vancouver's Voyage*,'" 3vols. quarto, 1793, and " Volney's Travels Through Syna and Egypt," 2 vols. It will do the eyes of book lovers good to examine Mi Shaw s present instalment to his valu able library.

Coming past the stand Revolver still led the field, Victoria and Rewi being his imme diate attendants. At the back of the course the whole field closed up to the leaders, and the proverbial blanket would have covered the lot, but nearing the turn for homo Cinderella and Woodnymph were seen to come out from the field, and the pair led by a length into the straight, with Sir Bcdivore in cloeo attendance. A splendid raco homo ensued, resulting in Cinderella winning by halfa-length, with Sir Bedi vero third, cloho on Woodnymph's girths. Time, 2min 4, r).-oc. Totalißator dividend, £3 ss.

THE AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

Local Industries.

IN this department there were a number of in teresting exhibits. The New'Zealand Frozen Moat and Storage Company spared no exconso or trouble to present a really first class show o£ the various kinds of compressed meat pre pared at their otoros. With unusual generosity a tin was ul-o kepi open to tho public 10 taste, an opportunity which, it in need ess to say, was eager.y taken by many present. In fact, ouee or twice a party appeared to have camped alongside tho meat, after having first provided themselveß With biucuita on the cheap from Mr 13yoroft's samples. It is this kind of thing tnat mnkes exhibitors somewhat cbary of allowing tho public to sample their wares. The com pressed meat was all neatly got up in tins of va riousslzcs.iind uilcdupinthoshapoof a pyramid at the corner of ono of the eheds. A large block of ioe and two tons of butter for export, paokei in keg* aud came, wero also exhibited by the above Company.

Mr Chariot Williams exhibits a large assortm«nt of i aeful articH'B. includirg his celebrated blacking, of which it ia Bald that its only faHnp is that it lasts too loDg to suit tho maker, kauri gum fire kindlers, all description of sealing wax, Pipe clay for tho volunteers, pigments for mark ing sheep, and last but not least, an excellent imitation of Oaldoy's knife polish. M Williams mteads to make a speciality of this article which is said to be quito equal to the im poit3dartiele,andconsiderablych( aper. Itistobe hopod.therefore.thathouEckcepers will patronise this new local industry, and prove for them selves whether or not it possesses all the virtues claimed Jor it. The Cylindrical Washinc Machine, a new patent exhibitor! by Mr J. C Eraser, was kept in active operation during the Show, that gentleman standing at hand and courteously explaining to the mothers and daughters of tho Auckland distriot the action of ting new labour-saving apparatus. This machino is shaped and acts somewhat similar to the barrel churn, only tho barrel is formed of inch laths instead of solid wood. Around tho axle ib asmallercy Under similarly formed.and between tne two the clothes aro placed and nro washed by the action of tbo laths and water duting the revolving process. Messrs Waito and Bright also exhibit a washing raachino, which they have named the " Aomo." This is composed of various kinds of metals, and tho foundation ol tliß aiUir iai a small pirtablefurnace with f moke stack attached, whioh will burn either coal or wood, and is eo constructed that if requ'red gas may be employed.

The tost of the Harden Star B«ri Grenade on Monday, at the AgricbS Show, wafi extremely severe. • UmallZ was built 10 by. 10, and 11 bySfc This was properly weather-board^ 5 then some kerosene was poured n ™ it and ignited. When fa™/™ veloporl in flames, three hand emiia wera thrown in and the flre waa aweffir extinguished. Shortly afterward, ' £ building was ro : lighted, and the fa allowed to get such a strong M that the bystanders were, driren b«t fully 40 feet. From thie diatanoetli» hand grenades were hurled in, butbtts: to the firm hold of the flames it was load neoessary to use five hand grenades Wore' the flames werd entirely extinguished. It took exactly 20 s«conds after the gretada were thrown to generate the gasMfficlffi'*: to quench the flames.
