The Proposed Intercolonial Inhibition.

AT the invitation of tho A ucklawl Chamber of Commerce, Sir .fnlius Vogel mot the members of (hut body yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, forth© purpose of explaining lis views regarding the proposed exhibition to be held in Auckland in the year 1890. Mr John Lamb, President of the Chamber, presided, ar.d there were also present: Messrs T. Peacock, M.H.R., J. M. Darga ville M.H.R., S. Vaile, J. Buckland, A. fl. Nathan, J. M. Clark, W. Lodder, G. Aickin, C 0. McMillan, W, J. Speight, J. Britton, W. R. Waddel, F. Ireland, N. A. Nathan, E, W&ymouth, m. luit, H. Hugo Harrop, S Luko ,I.M.McLachlan, C.V.Houghton, D. H. McKenzie, J. H. Upton, Walker (Walker Uiiui Company), K. Mitchelson, M.H R ,J, M. Shera, R. C. Ca.r, Morrin, J. Ksid, A. Bell, Garriclt, M.H.R., and others. The President having bristly introduced tlio business*, called on Sir Julius to addrea*. tho Chamber. Sir Julius Vogel said that lie was not there to speak on behalf of the Government. He had had several coiivoraations with gentle men on tho subject, and had beon asked to explain his views to tho Chamber of Com mtrce. He apologised to tho Chamber [or tho shortness of tho notice of tho confar enco, whic'i was due to bia hasty summons to Wellington. They would understand that ho was giving no pledge ou behalf of the Government, as when this thing came to be realised there rp'ght be another Government but aftor tney had heard him they could consider whac valuo should be attached to hid rtmarl-s. It appeared that about ISfJO thpio would bo tnroe events of momentous importance to tho colony : the fiftieth anniversary of the moclatnation of tho co'.ouy; about that timo the Panama Canal would bo finished, ;or nearly linished ; and thon thero would bo , that matter which wouJdhayosomuehDllect jon tho fuuiro ol this pari ot ti.e colony-Hie I completion of the railway betweon Anck ' Und and Wellington, lie thought these three events worthy of celebration, und they ! were there perhsp- to discus-, the means ot , celebration. And first l*o would speak o tho Pimtt.oa Canal, tho inif iit-nce of ! which ho did not think was re ali-ed fully. It would, in hia opinion, 1 croatia new world, and ontirely alt ir tho ', conditions of tho towns on the Pucihc Ocean suflh ua had already beon done in tho ! countries boidci-ir.BH-.oAtiß.itio, Hethought if thoy hud observed how, dmmg tho last throo or four voare, there had beon such n ' rush to obtain possession or control of the inlands in the Pacilic, they might have some ', idi v ol iho opinion entertained by astute mon iialo ■l.oclu.i.fce- which would follow iho completion of the Panama Cuii'd, ai,d of the ' enormously increased valuo ihuso would pus ' Mens when thut canal waa opened out to lhe coa-ts of Iho North and South of Australia ' ami of New Zoalund. Tlw-io would bo coal in,, stations, accumulation.* of vessel., an.l ol Hauls of all c ,iinliio« if the world. It. had often b.ousaid that Now Zealand was to bo the Great. Britain of tho South, and lio linpod ho should not be looked upon as BfW ttkinu dispaiugingly »hon he . aid it wuuld not becouib tho Groijl l.ntain of the •South simply on account oi its placo on tho map, hut it must bo by the energy and enterprise of her inhabitants. One thing of greut impoitanoo to Now Zoalanii waa to make herself known, in view ot tlio increased internet which would bo taken ' after the opening of the Panama Cui.al. Ho know of nothing which could inort fhoiouj'hly cehb.ato tho events to which he (vici referred, and which would bring Now Zouli»..d more proßlintOtly beforo the world, 'hup this propose.- (nte.-i.nlK.nal und (.ol.iMi.il Exhibition, 110 know something , about the manner in which t|iu liist Exhibi tion was .Luted, and ho most iomark ill-,! 1,1,e50 inatilutioiiß coiitiniisii to bp mor.

' l.v ..tiie. joaiitriei", and though it teem-.d a I lo^ time to look forward to •ho Jut? 1800, he thought, it would be none too ic-ng if ihey i H .i-|,ci;o3,cureagco.| L xhbiiioi. and Dial amount ot »y«np-.t..> which xoiild bei nfceo= snry 'to m .kb ii li ti.ee. if -he S.xhibitionsat Muiboiirno an.l B*,dney woro i-ery sati*fuo ' tory, co much co that thoy wore vory ahoi tl j to be repeated. With regard to the Jntjr national Exhibition oi New Zoalanii, he I thought thaio *'■ '■' 'I he ° spiciat character given to it by calling it an I nternaiionjl ' Colonial Maiitimo t xbibti lon. The future. 'of tho colony must depend very much upon its uni'time oliftracter, A tlistitiiiii'ehiug ' leoturo ol tho c lony wua i(« enormous sea , b,.urd, which would heeomo of vastly ifiore ■ imi ortanco in its relations to other coun ; t.ies thiough ihe ue.v moans of com j municatioo afforded by tho canal to i which lio had _o often roferred. But, I whilo thoy gavo the namo of a inaii ; timo exhibition to that which thoy pro- I po-od holding, aa a mouns of giving 'it special interest, it would not exclude any oihcr a ticloß for exhibition. Ho had soen eon.o exhibitions which hid special flump.' given lo them, cc( icially tlio Fish priV.s p'-.h.bUioj!, bui; ~o irtfcles were ex cludiil from thoin. Supp M -ing tj-.oy had » llariiimo Exhibition, tlioy could imagine that anything could bo brought indirectly into maritimo use, and therefore might havo a place in tho Exhibition. Supposing, to tako anextioiuo caso, thoy montlined agri cultural implements; such itoplamcnta were frequently of use to tho people " who went down to tho sea in ships," to they would not, in realty, curtail the comprehonsive nos.. of tho Kxhibitiou by giving it a special rhnractor, but they might make it more productive in that maunoi- than they ciuldio by any othor plau. Thoy would get tho practical appliances in O.ujnes'ion with n-oritimo pursuits of all kinds. He suggested that thoy should obtain specimens of the canoea of the South Sea Islanders, which would givo a good idea ol primitive ideas of naval etructuro before science rondorcd euch service 11 their prac tico, whicli waa shown in nothing moro strongly than in iho scionco of navigating tho waters. It would bo vory interesting to ascertain tho courso of naval aichitecturo in conniction with the development from these primitive etipoee, aud contraat them with tho spVmlid results obtained by the older 'world, It would also bo very interofting to hayo all the various op pliunoes connected with th-hipg poiauite, which ho considered were of very great i*p pcrtance to the colony. The fishing industry of Canada produced thicc millions sterling, as much as iho wool industry at p.esont produced in this colony. Thutii,dust,,y hero remainedaloio.-t uutou. lied upto tho present time. Hut what he considered tuo-t impor tant of ud waa that they would bo able to invito the preseuce of vessola into thoir waters to try their speed in (ho beautitul harbour thoy possessed heie, That would be to hia mind a great tea tui o of the Exhibition. They would be able to invito vessels of evoiy eizaond kind -sailingvessels and steamers— to try their merits on tho watere of tho Waitemata, They might by that moans make a variation which would be mo«t attractive to peraon3 who^migh*- be wearied with ordinaiy exhibitions, if such trials of speed could be fixed tor every duy, and could be witnessed by those who visited the Exhibition by day. They hod another advantage in Auckland in btiDg ablo to pro ' vide economical amusements, us ho found that great difficulty had been experienced in exhibitions iv other parts of the colouy in providing auch varied amusements aa were required, and which were always liable lo fail, without great expense in engagements. They would ho a* la to afford an amusement which he believed would be very attrac tive in the day limo, by drivea iv the open air in the summer eveniuga • aid in tho summer evenings by providing music and the elecu-ic light, and perhaps firewoike. He thought thoy would bo ablo to run tho Exhibition eh. aply. Ho thought tho Exhibition would have a very good edu cational effect in the colony. It waa of great importance to them to establish well the art and practice of boat and shipbuilding. Now, such an exhibition could not fail to bring to them in ihe colony a great number of visitor.), who would receive the impres eion that it would aft'oid a fino field for their enterprise Ho believed they would have no lack of visit- rs to keep open tht Exhibition for (our months, with tho.-o who came from n distance and thoso who lived in the colony. Mow, thoy might say, "How are you going to carry it cut ?" That waa a question which appeared to him required consideration, but liesuggts'.ed as ono plan, though there might bo others, that it would bo best to curry it on indepen dently of Government control, by moans of a Rjyal Commission, tho same aa in other countries of tho world, where thoy had been very successful Then camo the question of means. It appeared to him t.at the question of expenditure would veiy much depand on the coat of management and upon tho responsibility thrown upon thoee who had charge of it. It would be ono of those thingß which might swallow up a groat amount of monoy, but which, by careful and judicioua manage ment, might provo self-supporting, or even yield a i oturn. He though.;, for example, that a very largo return might bo obtained by tho various means of making money which thoie wero in connection with these exhibitions, and that very little would be required from those who had charge of the Exhibition. He noticed that £26,000 had been paid forplaces pmchaped for Bhpwipg guides at a recent

Exhibition, and the universal pla.n was to charge for apace, which would yield thorn a largo return. He suggested a subscribed guarantee fond nf £25,100, and ho did not think thoro would bo any difficulty in getting the Gov.rnment to guarantee a similar amount, £ for £. If that, were obtained they would be in a position to go_ on with, the . work, and he repeated his opinion that if the Exhibition wore well managed tho guaran tors would not be called upon to pay uny thing, or at any rata only to a vory small extent. It they decided to go on, hs did not think there was* much time to spare. They would have to get a Royal Comruiasion, and enlist the sympathies of other parte of I the world. Even if they were net called upon for immediate action,he dm nof thmu they could allow the mouths of the present year to elapse without taking action >n the matter. Thoy should fix the, time lor the Exhibition aa promptly an possible. They might perhaps cay tho las* month ot 18S9, and tha first threo months of 1890,0 d then thoy would not havothe compstitio. ot any of the countries of Europe where these were winter months. They would probably secure the field for themac-lvos, which would onablo them to count upon the support tit all the other countries in the world. (Applause) . . . The President then invited tnose present: to make what remarks they wiahed. Mr J M. Clark said thut though ho thought tho suggestions of Sir Julius Vogel worth a full and favourablo eonsidorutioii.lio did not think they could do moro that afternoon than express their thanks to Sir Julius for tho trouble he had taken in ox pounding the ma.t.i-to them, and to say that if thoy could ate their way to act.ng on hia suggestions, thoy would do so. Flo did not yot teel lnmaolf in a position to express a decided opinion on tho matter. Ho moved a vota of thanks to Sir Julius Vogel for tho interesting matt ,r he had brought boforo thorn, and the eug gestions he had mado, which might prove of great vuluo to this coinmui.ity and to tho colony at largo. Tho Chairman, in seconding tho motion, auggoeted that U.o Chamber should be assisted in initiating the matter by a largo committee of tho public. _ Mr J. M. Dargavilio, M.H-R , an being asked to spjak by tho Chairman, said that when tho matter waa firet mooted he had felt doubts aa to whether a practicable Bchemo could be formed. Sir Juliuae speech had largely removed thoso doubt?, and if the schemo could be earned out It lurgoly devolved on Auckland to do it. Ono specially good effect which ho thought it might hi.vo would bo in inducing tho people of the Islands o( tho iiaciiic to look to How Zealand £s the placo of their headquart ;ra —their empoiium. If they could got them to prefer Auckland to Sydney, it would bo a moat important advantage Ho thought thp'proppsala which hud been made by Sir Juliueiar fostering tho Squth Set, Island trado did not receive at the lima the at* <n t.ioh thoy deseivod, and the question might well ba revived. Mr E, Mitcholson, M.ll &., expressed hia willingness to assist, i ho project by every means in his power. If Auckland would meet the suggestions of Sir Julius \ ogi-1, onoimous benefits would acoruo. Tho President agreed with Mr Darga ville that it waeagieat mi.take thut Sir Julius Vogel'a proposals regarding tho I'ncitic ialandu h.*..l npt mot wjlb li>rge uup port, and had bean allowed to drop through. Ho referred to tho recent inoreiifio of tho Fiji trado. Mr J. Reid did not ug.eo th it tho Islands had b.-eu neglected, as waa shown by tho aubsidiaod atoamer and the increased tiaie He would givo all the assis'unco ho could to promoting tho Exhibition. Mr T Morrin rogretted that Sir Juliua had not received bcttot support from tho psoplo of -.upklipid ia the majfjr of h:.s endeavours to fos r ti'o I-laud trade. [Io suggested thai us g..111-mining was thoir rpoat promising indt'.tiy.specimens of machinery tjaed in that pursuit should ho attached to the Exhibition. With regard to ti,e com petitions amongst tho ves-ilethey need not havo much cxpenMo over thorn, as thoy could uso the tuiuliealor.

Mr C. C. McMillan ex pie se i symp-thy with tho propools of the Hon. lira.-. .;, and with reference t. the Island trade sai.l they would have a hud t.sk to comp..! J with a free port like Sydney. ' _>fry. i*,icl_iu cordially expro,-oi the gratitude he "felt to air Juiins f-r .bi" address, which was cloar and bu-imss like, and tbey would bo to blame as business men if they qoijid not bring the mutter jutu a practical shape. Thoy would, however, nnsd tlio cj operation qI lit- general public. Regarding tijo Jslautl trade, ho ihought that Auckland had cot-J injudiciously }n throwing cold Waltl* on Sir Julius Vogol'a proposals, and ii those pu-soi.), io .:_ tho mail ir up it mightoncoui^o Hit Julius to again briir.; the mailc-r bi.fore Pailiamont. Mr Donald" spoke a lew wurdsou the ad vantages of fostering the ]>}atid trado Tbo voto of thanks »a< then pip, and carried with acclamaijon

Mr Harpor was proceeding tc hrina under the notice of Sir Julius the matter of foreign vessels trading on tho coast of New- Zealand, but ho was ruled out of order. Sir Julius Vogol then returned thanks for the vot3 that had just been passed. Ho re minded those prc.ctit that the Exhibition had boon hinted at In tho last Financial Statomont, and members of the Govern ment were agreeable ti tlio celebration of the opening of the Trunk rail way by tho holding of ari exhibition hero, lie might state that ho oould not. speak authoritatively on the do tai'». Hints of this had boen givon, but Auckland was a very ouy maiden, and did not liko to put hereof forward Thoy hnd now had a second hint, aud if thoy still do clinod it might bo very ere litablc to lluir modesty, hut ho did not think it would be very croiitablu t) the r onr-ruy llunedin had undertaken an exhibition with out any Government aid, and he thought somo plan could be devis.d in which this district could carry out an exhibition, and thoy knew that theUovemment were-friendly to it. Now that the I-land question had cropped up, thero wore some who said (hey had mado a mistake in not going into Hi matter long since. It was first proposed in 1574 that the.o should be a chartered company for trading with the Islands, and if that hud been carried out at the time New Zealand would havo absorbed the control of the trade. It was proposed t_i make the. matter one of a largo business, and then Great Britain would have krpt the contiol of the islands. Now a great, opportunity had passed away from British control Then, again, in 1884, another attempt was mado, a hill was introduced into the Hou-o, but it was so coldly received by those supposed to bo most interested that it did not pass its second reading, and fell through, In tho meantime tho great nations of the earth hud been ulmost fighting and spending millions of their money to obtain possession of some of these islands. Germany, every month, was going iv for fiosh annexations, and sanding out steamers with a view of get ing po-.session of the trade of tho Paciliu. They might take up the question now, but they could not get the advantage from it which they could in former times. He related the classical story of bj billine books which were relused when first offered, because of the high price, but when all wero burnt excepting one, that was takou at a price beyoud what the whole might havo beon secured for, That was an illustration of their treatment of the Islands question. Thoy would have a greater cost in getting the trade of a small part of the islands thau they might have had the whole for fouusrly. They might havo regulated the currency of ths Pacific, and thtir uoteH havo been as- good as sove reigns or shillings. But still they should get os niuch influence as I hoy could there, and he hoped they would mako every effort to do so.

A voto of t.anks to the Chairman termi nated the meeting

Re Capture of the Convict Crab, tree.

\Vk_...inul'o*-, Wedt esday.

Okai'Tßle was ariestcl at twenty minutes past seven this evening ou tho Wutlestown Road. Thi? morning MissKnowlos informed the police that sho had seen a man with a tall hat on the lawn of her brother's bouse in B>dnoy-3tio6t ; and Detective'Campbell, fancying ho might be tho convict, traced him thonce to the* vVadestown district. In the evening ho returned, and while speaking to a man on lhe leii-el over the hill there came along i*. man laultlestly j;ot up in a black suit, belltopper, overcoat, and gold walch and chain. Campbell rocogui.ed him as Crabtree, and cal.ed ou him to surrender. Sosurpri.cd v-as the escapeethat he dropped on tho roael in despair without offering the least resistance*. Whilo doing so, however, he put his hand in his pocket, and hearing n jingle, ihe uetccUvo immediately covered him *itb his revolver. Lurious to see whether he wa; armed, Campbell felt in his p cket, and found it tilled with jewoilery. A further Search revealed the fact that Cramreo was fairly loaded with bracelets, riiifS, studs, earrings, and valuables of all dosciipuons, the list of which makes qeiiij a foiui.iiab.o document. These, with the olothts, he had obtained at the house ot Mr Knowles, who is away jus! now. His siste-r visits tbe house in the day time, but nobody sleeps on tho premise.-, and et.tre l.rab..e6 p_is;t.u tho night ar.d mado his no table haul. Trusting co the dis guise atfordeo by his moie ihan respectable get up, he was evidently about to venture into ioau, v> hen ho fell plump into the aims of the man who happened to know him pe, sjuaily. The truant was so wcuty with his ei-'uics, und wilh the chagrin, that he was unable to accompany his captor back to town until refreshed by rest and a irieudly cup of tea. Luring his escapade he has piled up at least two charges of burglary and house-breaking, betides the breaking out of gaol, for which alone he can get live years' penal servitude. Tte reason he gives for his behaviour is that he consideied his tontence of thirteen years too long for the ciime. It is now believed that the man chased last night was not Crabtree at oil, but a confederate.

Crabtree led his pursuers a very good dance Altogether, what with detectives, policemen, warders, and militiamen, there have been at least fitty men on his trail, and he had .everal narrow escapes betoie ho was finally caught. At one boarding house the puiico had mado a visit unci left a fow minutes before the absconder put iv an appealan'ie, aud again the same thing happeined at another house. Jiarl*, in the Search soma otiiooro visited the I'eoguin, as she lay in tbe slip, thinking it a hkoly pluce, and the watchmen told them he hau just seen a man dait across the deck in hia stocking feet and disappear down the engine room Making sure they had thoir man, they placed a sentinel on the gang way, and instituted a systematic search, but if Crabtree w_B there they never found him, for aite-r somo hours' la-iour, no trace of the mystic individual seen by the watch man could ba discovered. It is supposed be lurked iv tho bush during iho u_.y time, and no doubt huh..d some ciothes con cealed there. His .-udcen arre t gteatly disuoncerttrd Citibtree, and hia lirst exclam ution to Duuoiiv- Cumpbell was •• i will die in gaol after this " So overcome was he by his four days' hide and seek that the handcuffs wore nut required, and a cab had to be obtained to convey him to the station, as be was unaole to walk, d c had not had anything to eat for two da^s, accoidine to his own account. Ho confessed to being the man chased last night, though it was at hist thought, after his arrest, it, must have been someone else, and it is said he escaped by jumping ovor a fence into a garden He will not say where he got the toolh which enabled him to get out of his cell, but be destroyed them afterwards. lhe warder who was on duty when Crabtree escaped has b t en dismissed.
