TABLE TALK.

Rumouked political coalition

Atkinson-Vogel rapprochement. Sir Julius to be thrown overboard. The Grand Old Man is stumping Hawker __* Bay. Earthquake tremor in Canterbury yester day afternoon. Major Atkinson has left Wellington for Nelson. Only one political address in Auckland to-night-Mr Garratt at Eden Hall. Half-holiday at Wellington to-morrow for the interprovincial football match. "Bellamy's is quite indispensable," said' Mr Moss at his meeting last night. A miniature Rifle and Revolver Company has been formed at Wellington. Bellicose New Zealand ! The Hinemoa is under orders to start on an annexation cruise. The Kermadec Islands are to be formally taken possession of by Capt. Fairchild, on behalf of the Government of New Zealand. It is not expected that the populace will j resist the annexation, especially as the populace consists of one family. Among the Zulus young people fight and •' get married. Hero they get married and fight. Mr Moss poked fun at the retrenchment of the Board of Education last night. He also was very satirical at the expense of the Political and Financial Reform Asso ciation. He said it included amongst its members some of the greatest intellects and_ the best financiers in Auckland, one genius having offered to show how re trenchment of £2,000,000 a year could be ! effected. Two men named Clune have been arrested on the charge of participation in the Anson jewellery robbery. Wonder the police did not discover it before, seeing that there is a " Clv " in the name. Quoth Mr Moss at his meeting last night: " If you touch the Direct Mail Service sub sidy you are touching the apple of the eye of the people of Wellington, Canterbury, and Otago. These would all agree to cut off the L 25,000 for the 'Frisco Service if you want that sort of retrenchment." The prisoner Harris has been sentenced to three months' hard labour for stealing drapery goods at Christchurch. Mr W. C. Fitzgerald, the Wellington chemist and druggist, has disposed of his business to Messrs Turner and Parker, late of Auckland,and intends to settle down in England again. Messrs Turner and Parker take possession of the business on the Ist prox. Trade with China.—A cargo of 1,800 tons of coal has been taken from Greymouth by the steamer Woosung for Hong Kong. Dull times in the South. Mornington Tramway Company. Dunedin, declares no dividend this year. The Company carried 12,023 fewer passengers last year than in. the year preceding. Mr Joseph Lamb, of Cambridge, has started the manufacture of violins from New Zealand timber—rimu and rewarewa ; and by altering the shape claims to get im proved tone. The population of Europe has increased in a century from 145,000,000 to 350,000,000. Englishmen have multiplied fivefold, the Russians fourfold, and the Germans less than threefold, while Frenchmen and Spaniards have added only about 50 per cent.

"I give Mr George's statement that I left my party and joined the Government a direct and flat denial," said Mr Moss ab Parnell Hall last night.

The Colonial Treasurer has given a proof of his financial ability at Dunedin. When waited upon by a deputation on the sub ject of the dock loan yesterday, he showed that he knew more of the proceedings than the deputation. Sir Julius said that the Trust had acted in a most extraordinary manner, as three sets of debentures for one loan had been signed—one set at 4, another at 5, and another at 6 per cent. The pro ceedings were frightfully irregular, and he promised to consult the Crown Solicitor in the matter.

" Augustus," said Maude, who, as he had been calling on her for some time, thought she would give him a hint, " I should like to be an actress." "An actress !" repeated Augustus, in astonishment. "What on earth do you want to be an actress for _" " Because then I might be engaged." She now wears a solitaire.

It was proposed to organize a national pilgrimage from Ireland to Rome on the oc casion of the Golden Jubilee of the Pope this year. A similar pilgrimage has nob taken place since 1698. "Kind words never die," and Mr Moss put in a few kind words for the Auckland unemployed in the course of his address last night.

"When I saw those men (he said) troth ing on the Kaipara railway up to tho.? middle in water, and earning 10s a week, t thought if you put rifles into their hand, and sent them to face five times their num ber in deadly combat, they would not show more courage and endurance than they were doing then."
