THE S.S. KATIKATI ON FIRE.

VMoel scuttled and Subsequently ijbo ¥«■•» °" Floated.

TsE origin of the fire on tho Katikati so far •■.perfect mystery. It appears that she Jttttetown wharf shortly after G a.m., at Thiob time everything seemed all right. HZ «.msl had been loaded the previous *>V Ten infant* after leaving the "ffithe engineer observed some smoke in !?* inrine room, and being unable to *• Sit, told Captain MoLeod, who the wheel, that something must be ta the hold. Captain IvlcLood ■*J the engineer and deck-hand to remove K Brf the fore-hatches, and examine the Sm The hatches are usually very stiff to " bnt on this occasion the moment they 8553 It it came a*ay without an effott.and Tinmn of flame shot up to the mast-head. S££t*dl to replace the hatch and throw a i ,!Llin over it, but the heat was so in- SSSKhey were unable *° d,° ,ao- The S,Sg situated on top of lie deck- S2S taSdhtely abaft theforehold, the E curling round drove Captain Me gffeEi "is post, and the vessel ZT a time was beyond control. Th .hWla was now set going to bring ff and every effort ma3e by the ~ w to confine the fire to the hold, but Soiit avail. It was now seen that the a, m eanß of saving the vessel from total destruction was to run her into shallow Slter and scuttle her. It being impossible 2) reach the wheel, through the intense Seat it was a difficult matter to accomplish. However by means of great exertion and determination, this was at last done, a noint of land near Lime-burner a Creek y D Z chosen for that purpose, which was known to afford sufficient water to tfnk her in, and at low tide would leave her dry on a hard bottem. The only instrument on board to perform thp scuttling with was a email tomakawk, which was used for chopping kindling wood for the galley fire, but this was plied to , B oh effect that in a Bhort time a hole was cat under the bilge and the water let into theforehold. Willing hands in the shape o f den from the Glenelg, Mr Moore, of the Railway Department, and Mr A. Hoey, a Mttler near the place, had by this time ar rived, and set to work with right goodwill to eavethe tophamper from the flames, which by this time had burnt the deck through and set fire to the deck-hous«. It was a fierce battle, but they were at length success • ful. The vessel filling rapidly with water, pat the fire out in tfhe hold, and the steam assisted those on deck in extinguishing the fire above. A most singular thing hap pened daring the fire. Close to the deck hoase was a box which was blazing up, and teemed impervious to the dsluge of water thrown on it. Some one suggested that it weuld be better to throw it overboard than to keep throwing water upon such a use less article. It was taken hold of for that purpose, when it was found to be a case of kerosene. Had it exploded, very little of the Katikati; would have been left to the shareholders of the Company. , As it is, the loss will be considerable, as the vessel will require a new deck and supports from the bow to near midships, and repairs to the deck-house. The other portions of the vessel seem to have escaped damage, and as soon as the water is out of her, which it is hoped will be at low water, she will be afloat again. Besides the Company, there ire others who will lose coseiderably by the disaster. Mr Harrison, of Maagapai, had 40 mats of sugar and a quantity of floor, etc., on board, which will be uaeiess. Three other persons, who are leaving the district, will lose heavily, namely, Dr. Edgelow, Messrs McCready and Son?, and Walter Simpson. Mr Simpson had the whole of his household famitore and effects on board, and will probably lose nearly everything. He is an old and respected settler in thia district, and very general sympathy is felt for him. Mr Lecca, a gumbuyer, had on board fflewt, of first-class gum, valued at about £70, some of which may be saved eventually. Altogether, it is the most serious disaster which has befallen Whangarei for a long time, and quite eclipses the Macgregor- Wellington collision in so far as private persons are concerned. Lattr.

The Katikati Bteamed up to the wharf and nude fart at about 8.30 p.m. Captain Me- Leod and his crew, assisted by a party of Tolasteers, had been hard at work all day In having the vessel pumped out and re jtmng the scuttle-holes in her side, so that then the tide rose she floated safely, making im little water. Steam waa thon got up, udthe vesiel brought to her mtorings at tie wharf, where a crowd of eager friends congratulated the captain and crew on tho success attending their efforts. Too aueh credit cannot be given to Cap tain MoLeod for his promptness and re source during the disaster, and it was mainly due to his intelligence . that the vessel was caved from total destruction.

BURSTING OF WATER-MAINS.

■Wthbhamstbeet was not the only portion of the city that was visited yesterday by a water eruption, three other maißS having bunt in variou? districts. As usual, there was a cause which, as often ia the case, night be attributed to carelessness. It appears that, twing to the reservoirs in the city undergoing a cleansing process, the tntranco of water from the springs to the reservoirs was shut off; at the came time tha engines at the pumping-station were in full operation. This, of course, put an enormous pressure upon the water-pipes, as the engines were forcing water where there waa no escape. The natural result was that either the engine or the water mains must give way. In this instance the pipes burst under the hydraulic force, thus saving any neater damage occurring at the Pumping-Btation. It is stated that uu ia not the first time that roch an accident has been occasioned by vant of necessary precautions. In justice to tie engineer at the pumping station, it v only fair to state that he was not notified to cane pumping yesterday when the en wnoe of water to the reservoir was shut on. This is all the more to be deplored as there ia telephonic communciat ion between tt» station and the turncock's house in Kwujsahapeßoad.

On the 6th, Mr Bradlaugh presented himself at the table of the House of Uimmona to be sworn. Sir Michael Hicks- Beach moved a resolution reaffirming that passed last year refusing to allow Mr tSradlangh to take the oath. Mr Hoowood moved an amendment declaring the neces sity of early legislation on the subject of oaths, Mr Gladstone supported Mr Bradlaugh, who then withdrew, declaring that he would appeal to Mb constituents against the injustice done him. The statement made by Lord Salisbury in the Lords on the 6th inst, the chief points of \t hich have already been cabled, produced 8 favourable impression. Mr Gladstone, in the Commons, concurred in the Premier's view that England's honour was pledged to the Ameer that the Zulficar Pass should remain Afghan. Lord Randolph Churchill thanked Mr Gladstone for his mag nanimous speech. As regards Egypt, Lord Salisbury, though reserved, spoke reso lutely and hopefully. England, he said, had no alternative but to buckle steadily to work in that country. It would be im possible and shameful to abandon Egypt to anarchy and chaoa. England, moreover, out of consideration to her honour, must be loyal to the Khedivo, who throughout had been true to her.

THE " PALL MALL " SENSATION.

CthOßtly Ploturo of London Immorality.

The sensation of the week has been the publication by the " Pall Mall Gazette " of a series of articles dealing with certain phases of the social evil, avowedly with the intention to influence the House of Commons to pass the Criminal Law Amendment Bill, sanctioned by the House of Lords, though, as a matter of fact, the Government exhibited its willing ness to assist the passage of certain portions of the measure not likely to provoke strong opposition. Heralding the crusade with the preliminary announcement that the purists had better not peruse the next few numbers of the paper, the " Pall Mall Gazette" suc ceeded in exciting the curiosity of the public to an extraordinary degree; but the realistic description given respecting the results of a special inquiry into tho most shocking features of metropolitan vice aroused an intense feeling of indignation, though a number of prominent philanthropists, in cluding the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon and several bishops and members of Parliament, sup ported the paperonthegroundoftheabsolute necessity of arousing public attention to the question. The paper bad an enormous sale, although it was prohibited at Smith and Willing's railway book stalls. Several clubs, includingtheßeformandAthenißum, refused to admit the paper. The police arrested numerous newsvendors for selling obscene literature in the streets, and the city au thorities threaten to prosecute the " Pall Mall ®azette.'' Questions also were asked in Parliament, but the Government have not at present indicated any disposition to inter fere. The street leading to the office of the paper waa thronged with applicants to pur chase copies, and the police were com pelled to interfere to prevent disorder. Men and women and children of both sexes eagerly competed to obtain early copies, many being sold as high as a shilling a-piece, the average price being at least double the ordinary rate. The editor, before commencing the inquiry, sought the countenance of Sir W. Vernon Harcourt, who deprecated_ interviewing the polico j but the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishop of London, Cardinal Manning, and several other well-known philanthropists warmly approved of the scheme. General Booth appears to have afforded most valu able aid to the Commissioners. The editor of the " Pall Mall Gazette " alleges that the ghastly details respecting the traffic in young children are unexaggrerated, and courts the fullest inquiry. It threatens that disclosures may be made which will shake die very foundations of our social order. It will be necessary, the paper says, to subpa-na Princes of the Blood, prominent public men, add Cabinet Ministers. The "Pall Mall Gazette" impugns the integrity of the police, alleging that numbers of them countenance the traffic.

OUR RAILWAYS.

A most interesting discussion took place last evening in St. Matthew's Schoolroom, under the auspices of the Literary and De bating Society, upon this topic, which is so much debated at present by all classes in terested in it. Mr A. K. Murray opened with a well-prepared paper, mainly dealing with the beginning and progress of steam locomotion. Mr S. Vaile then took up the subject with his usual incisive vigour, and scored some remarkably good points in favour of bis syatom, which evidently growing in public estimation. The Chair man (Mr Doonin), Mr V. Wright, and The President, the Rev. Mr Tebbs, joined in the discussion, and much information was elicited. The last-named Rontlomen raised a laugh by jokingly suggesting that the railways would bring in a better revenue if the/ charged, after the fashion of vehicle" at the seasileß in the Old Country, by time instead of distance. The usual votes of hankThavingbeen passed toMessniMurray and Vaile and the Chairman, it was deter mined that Mr Vaile should be requested to open a discussion, about six weeks hence, tattie same place, by thoroughly expW ing bis scheme, when it is hoped that a large Umber of tho public will be present.

THE LABOUR AGENCY QUESTIONS.

Some excitement was caused in town yester day at one of tho labour agencies by a lot of irate maidenß who gathered round the door way denouncing the proprietor, who, thoy alleged had deliberately taken them in. Upon making inquiries «c were informed that the fourteen maidens had applied at the Labour Agency for a situation, and had each , been sent some distance to the place after having first paid 2s 6d. To their astonish ment, they found that thoy wore all sent to the same place, and that upon arriving there, they were each informed that no servant was wanted, and in fact that the : agency had_ not been requested to supply one. The girls then saw how they had been hoaxed. The stronger minded ones hurried back to the office, with the expressed determination of taking it out of the agent._ Some of the ladies became so fierce in their looks aad language, that he felt compelled to hand them their 2s 6d back again, but it is stated, that the bulk of the maidens were left lamenting.
