AUSTRALIAN NEWS.

Per S.S. Manapouri,

The Sydney Unemployed.

The New South "Wales Government have

finally decided to close the Labour Bureau,

. and to discontinue the relief works for the i unemployed as soon as possible. It is found

! that the Labour Bureau has proved very h unsatisfactory in its working, and so many ■ cases of imposition have occurred that the • Government have determined that the best | course to pursue will be to finally terminate its ; existence. The relief works,of an unpro- I ductive character which have been insti-

tuted solely for the relief of the unemployed

! will be discontinued gradually so as i: not to cause any unnecessary distress ; among the men employed among them. A certain number of men will De dis • charged every fortnight in order to allow these workmen to become gradually ab sorbed in the ordinary labour market. The works which are of a really re productive and remunerative character will of course 'still be carried on, and

the Government will, as far as possible, endeavour to obtain legitimate employ ment for those out of work, and when neces sary will give them assistance to get into the country ; but they are firmly determined nob to continue the pauper works, Avhere men are simply employed for the sake of giving them employment.

Trouble in the Solomon Islands.

According tone ws received in Sydney by the 1 schooner Hally Bayley, tho natives of the Solomon Islands are again getting trouble some. Mr John Stevens, a trader at Ugi, informed Captain Wolsch that the natives of that island had threatened to kill him ; self and his partner, Mr F. Howard, and burn his station • and that Captain Cariip | bell, of the labour schooner Hector, had at their own request, lauded four Malayta boys at Wano, San Christoval, and that a few days afterwards two of them were killed and eaten. -

Strike of Tramway Employees in Brisbane.

The strike of tiamway employees at Bris bane has ended. The men refused to work this morning, and some of the cars were got out by substitutes amid the jeers and groans of the strikers*, and some threats, but no serious disturbance took place. This afternoon an arrangement was come to, the company granting the concessions demanded, except as to being compelled to employ only unionist men. The com pany also guarantee not to reduce the wages for 12 months.

Later News From the East.

OUTBREAK OF CHOLERA AT SINGA-

PORE.

Theß. L.S.N. Company's steamer Bulimba brings later eastern news to 7th July. The: French transport Coinoiin, with 900 troops, arid the Russian transport Nijni No ,-gorod, with 525 prisoners from Odessa, arrived at' Singapore' on the 22n'd;1 The French transport Cachar, with 785 troops, arrived on the 24th 'from Saigon, home ward.

Cholera has broken out at Singapore, and already three persons have fallen victims to the disease. Cholera has also broken out at Telukanson in Perak. * Twenty-nine deaths occurred in a short period. The victims wore Chinese. The outbreak was caused, by the want of good water.

The Netherlands India Government, says the Sourabaya " Courant," has every inten tion of : laying telegraphic cables between Java and Macassar, via Buli. A British company will undertake the work.

New Pilot Schooner for Mel bourne.

The schooner Hawk, recently purchased jfooni the New Zealand Government for the Victorian pilot service, has arrived at Melbourne. The vessel proved herself a fast and splendid seaboat on the passage across, and successfully stood all the heavy tests to which she was submitted by the pilot in charge. On one occasion she had what her master termed " a howling gale," and the vessel not only did well as regards speed, but was particularly dry. The Hawk is a vessel of 84 tons, built at Ara tapu, N.Z., in 1881, as a revenue cruiser for the Government at a cost of £3000.

Peculiar Robbery From a Bank Counter.

A peculiar case of larceny is now being investigated by the detectives at Mel bourne? A clerk named Snowden in the employ of,| Mr R'G. .

Sydney Commercial News.

The " Sydney News " of August 18 says : ■' In the import market business continues to show an improvement all round, but separate transactions are, as a rule, outside one or two specially favoured lines, small, although more numerous than for some time past. Of the lines which show a har dening tendency, cement especially stands forth," the advance lately noted, which shows every indication of becoming more pronounced, having been steady and not speculative, being based entirely on the in creased inquiry. At tho moment 14s to 14s 6d is quoted for leading brands, and 13s for second. Currants are very firm, and Gd is obtainable. ' We do not see any reason to alter our opinion that woolpacks have seen their highest for this season. In fish we note a scarcity of ling, which is asked for. American lib salmon has had speculative inquiry, and up to 8s Od per dozen quoted. In spirits little of moment has transpired during the day. We hear of a sale 25 quarter casks of com mon brandy at 4s 3d per gallon. In beers a very moderate inquiry exists for all descrip tions, either in'bulk or bottle, and values show an easy tendency, which, however, will likely be checked as scon as warm weather sets in. Quicksilver has fallen considerably during the past three weeks, a good line having come to hand by Orient boat, with more reported to follow. We doubt if over 2s 5d could be obtained even for small lots. Rosin is quiet, but for some unexplained reason holders are not so pushing. The sugar market is without anima tion, and buyers only purchase for absolute pressing requirements, looking, for a reduction in values as the crushing season advances. The timber trade is most active, and yesterday's auction sale of Oregon, etc., passed off well, the following prices being realised :—Ex Dr. Mezgar, 2 x 10, 2J x 5, 24 xB, 24 x 9, 3 x 6, 3x 8, 3 x 10, 3 x 9, 3 x 11, rough Oregon, at 10s Gd; 16 x 16, at lis 3d ; 6 x 12, 18 x 18, at lis 6d ; 20 x 20 at lis 9d ; 12 x 12 at 12s ; 4£ft laths at 19s 6d. Ex Juletrae :6x f, 6x f T. and G. and beaded white Baltic at 9s 6d ; 6xgd at lis 9d ;64 at 10s. Ex Firth of Tay : Checked and chamfered white Baltic weatherboards at 5s 6d.

A Doctor Shoots Himself.

On Saturday evening the residents of Hunter's Hill were shocked with > the news that Dr. Leutaigne had committed suicide by shooting himself with a revolver. Dr. Leutaigne was quite a young man, about 25 or 26 years of age. He was son of the late Sir John Leutaigne, Bart., Ireland. He had suffered from paralysis for some time, although not severely enough to hinder him practising his profession. He leaves a widow and one child.

The medical evidence showed that there was an empty cartridge in one of the chambers which nad been apparently dis charged. On the body there was two wounds in the head on the left side, about half an inch above the Outer angle, of the left orbit. The wound might have been inflicted by the deceased. It was possible that the pistol might accidently have gone .off when de ceased was reaching it down. The jury found " that the said Henry Westenra Lentaigne died from the effects of a pistol-shot wound in his head inflicted by himself, but whether intentionally or ac cidentally the evidence does not enable us to decide."

Shocking Death of a Child.

A child named Addison, sixteen months old, son of a farmer at Perth, toddled after his father across the railway line yesterday When the evening train ran over him, killing him instantaneously. His head was crushed into a pulp, and the brains strewn along the line. A magisterial inquiry was heldand a verdict returned of accidental death with no blame attaching to anyone. It is supposed that the left front horn-plate of the bogie of the engine struck the child.

ONEHUNGA BOROUGH COUN CIL.

The fortnightly meeting of the above Coun cil was held in the Council Chambers yes. terday evening. Present : Crs. Tapp» Keehan, Hills, Hill, Sheldrick, Wilson, Jackson, Rowe, and Goldsburg. In the absence of the Mayor, Councillor Tapp was voted to the chair.

Correspondence. — A letter from R. Farrell enclosing £4, being rates due by Mr Deacon King for lands in Onehunga, and requesting that the balance, £1 13s 6d (being costs for advertising the proposed sale of same) be not pressed for.—The matter was referred to the Finance Committee. A letter was read from Messrs Adams and Webb, lessees of the Recreation Reserve, enclosing cheque for £36 13s 4d being rent due to date and requesting a reduction of rent for said reserve—Referred to Reserves Committee. A letter was received from Mr Matthew Scott stating that in consequence of other outlet for money in the South Island he de clined to take up debentures for water works. From Mr Samuel Jackson, junior solicitor, declining to accept the sum of £7 4s 8d tendered in payment of his account £13 for professional services to the Council. Councillors Tapp, Jackson, Sheldrick' and Wilson were appointed to act as Committee to investigate the matter and report to Council. The Mayor (Dr. W. G. Scott) arriving at this juncture took his seat. %

Committees' Reports.—.The Finance and Reserves Committees' Reports which were of an unimportant nature were adopted by the Council.

Financial Statement.—Balance in hand last meeting £70 14s 3d ; since paid in £35 2s sd; paid away, £64 9s Id; leaving a balance to the credit of the Borough of £41 7s 7d, with liabilities under contract amounting: to £261 19s Id. Tenders for Water Works Loan.— Cr. Jackson suggested that before opening the tenders that the proposed rate of in terest be decided upon. The Mayor con sidered that as the law prohibited a higher rate than 7 per cent., it was unnecessary and then solemnly proceeded to open tho tenders. There was only one, which was from Mr W. J. Courtney, of Ponsonby, offering to lend the full sum of £5,000 for 2i years at 7 per cent., on the securities being approved of by his solicitor.—The tender was not accepted.—After the matter was discussed, Cr. Wilson considered that had it not been for certain articles having ap peared in the Auckland newspapers that there would be more than one tender pro duced to-night. Ho would give notice of motion to move at next Council meoting : " That the best legal opinion in Auckland be taken as to the validity of the loan for water supply as it stands at present on the books of the Council, and as to the Council's present position as to the alleged accepted tender for the contract."—

Cr. Hill, in speaking to his notice of motion previously given re the occupa tion of that portion of the Borough Reserve property, was inferrupted by Cr. Jackson, who considered it a matter of retaliation on the action he had taken with regard to the Library. The matter was referred to the Reserves Committee.

The Mayor's Resignation.—The Mayor's hand in a letter which he read tendering his resignation from the Council. After some discussion he was presented by the Council to reconsider the matter, and he withdrew his resignation. '""" Tfro Council then adjourned,

ACCIDENT IN CUSTOMS STREET.

About 10 minutes before 5 o'clock yes terday afternoon, a distressing accident occurred in the yard ab the rear of Messrs Morton and Co.'s premises. This yard is used by several other firms, Messrs Collins Brothers being amongst the number. An employee of theirs named Edward Skeleton, who has been with the firm for 16 or 17 years was engaged assisting to load one of Barnes drays with 800 C.C. bales of paper. These bales were lowered about 30ft in the lift. Skeltonand the driver of the cart were waiting to receive the paper in the dray, when by some means a bale of paper rolled right off the tip, and fell the distance of 30 feet. It landed right in tho dray. Both men saw it coming, and the driver, with great promptitude jumped out. Skclton tried to do the same, bub was too late. < The bale first struck another parcel already in the dray, and then bounded off against Skelton. His leg was jambed on the. side of the dray and thus broken. He then fell to th ground, when by a sad fate the bale again fell on top of the unfortunate man. Other men who were engaged in the yard speedily removed the bale when it was found that Skelton's leg was fractured in two places. He was removed as quickly as pos sible to the Hospital, where his wounds were attended to. Skelton is an elderly man and has a wife and seven children.

HARBOUR BOARD.

The usual fortnightly meeting is being held this afternoon. Present:—Messrs W. R. Waddell (Chairman), C. E. Button, Thos. Henderson, M. Niccol, and J. Winks.

Freeman's Bay Reclamation. —A letter was received notifying the Governor's ap proval of the plan of reclamation of Free man's Bay. Hobson-street Cutting.— The Town Clark wrote intimating that the City Coun cil propose in carrying out Hobson-street outtting andCustom-sbreet filling, to remove the wood shops built by the Harbour Board at the junction of Hobson and Nelson streets and to replace them with permanent drains, as they are now in an unsafe state. Permission was therefore asked for these alterations.—The Engineer reported that he saw no objection in the applica tion, but the Board should guard against the discharge of sewage through these surface drains. An intercept ing sewer would have to be constructed along Custom-street when formed to its permanent level, and the whole of the drainage west of that line delivered into the main sewer.

Machinery and Tools.—J. Birch and Co., Liverpool, wrote offering to tender for any machinery or machine tools required by the Board. Tally Clerk.—A letter was received from G. G. Wills, of Wellington, offering his services as tally clerk in connection with the wharves.

Seven-ton Crane. — Application from Westport Harbour Board, for leave to ex hibit in Board's office, specification for bed plate of seven-ton crane. Calliope Dock—The Contractor Com plains.—Mr Errington forwarded specifica tions for supply of permanent ballast for caisson and reported that specifications for shores and bilge chocks would be ready in a day or two. On the 15th steam was got up in centre boiler to 601bs and drainage engine and pumps tried. They worked well. Mr Swanson reported that the work of constructing the dock is now approach ing completion. MrPierceLanigan (contrac tor) forwarded a letter complaining that he had been seriously delayed and subjected to great loss and inconvenience throughout the contract, by. the engineer; not sup plying'him with detail drawings. He nad generally , received only verbal directions from Engineer and Inspector, and as these gentlemen do not always agree in their ideas, he [frequently had diffi culty in deciding between them. He was even now waiting for details which should have been given in advance, so as to per mit him having the materials ready. He received details of dolphins only a few days ago, although lm had frequently, asked for them for months.past, arid as a conseqiiepce he would not be able to get the exceptionally large totara piles required under 3 months from now, which .meant that it would b{?.-4 months before the job could be finished! He looked to the Board to take these facts into consideration, whon estimating what compensation ho was entitled to.

Shoal Bay.—William Webster applied for leave to make a survey and take borings in Shoal Boy with a view to opening com municating by steamer the head of the Bay. Works and Tariff Committee.—This Committee recommended :—(1) That the dredger be worked on the system suggested by Mr Scott and approved by the Board, and if the engineers decline to work amicably -with the dredge master the Ist and 2nd engineers be discharged and fresh engineers appointed ; (2) that no claim be made for compensation in respect of land taken by Public Works Minister at the North Shore for defence purposes ;

Finance and Legal Committee.—A re commendation of this Committee was:— That the Sugar Company's request that the wharfage due on coke landed at the Com pany's works, should be charged only 6d per ton be not entertained. A letter was read from the Bank of New Zealand with reference to charges for commission paid to brokers on certain allotments of debentures and as to amoun of proceeds of £100,000 worth of debenture passed to credit by the Bank. New Ferry Jetty.—The Engineer sub mitted sketch drawing of a design for toll house and goods-shed, to be erected at the shore end of the new ferry jetty. The building would consist of a general waiting-room and a ticket office with two stories, parcels and manager's offices front ing Quay-street, and on the line of street a goods shed 50ft x 24 on the west side of the tole-house for working the goods traffic only. .

A numberof the Otago players made the ascent of Mount Eden to-day, and this afternoon the whole of the team were taken put on a, drive to Sylvia Park,
