DR. LAISHLEY'S REPORT ON EDUCATION.

(BY TELEGBAI'H— OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Wellington, this day. Mr Fisher, in the course of hia address on Thursday evening, devoted considerable time to praise of Dr. Laishley's report on education, which, he said, was the grandest report on the subject it was ever his good fortune to read. It had been said in de traction of Dr. Laishley that the document ■•was a mere compilation. To that ho re plied that to Dr. Laishley belonged the credit of having produced the finest com pilation on the question ever produced m any part of the world yet. This was one of the gentlemen to whom credit was never given in connection with the system.

MR BALLANCE AND THE MAORI ELECTIONS.

(by telegraph—own correspondent.)

Wellington, this day. Mr Ballancb denies the accusation made at Napier that he has canvassed in the interest of Wi Pere by means of memorandum telegrams at the public expense. He states that he has never used "memorandum" telegrams in communicating with natives. Ho _ha 3 answered questions put to him by natives in regard to the election, but has done so in hia private capacity by means of ordinary telegrams, the same as any other citizen might do.

RIFLE ASSOCIATION FIRING.

(BY TELEGRAPH.—OW!f CORRESPONDENT.)

Wanganui, this day. At a meeting of the Wanganui members of the New Zealand Rifle Association last night the programme for Oamaru was considered. The meeting approved of the use of the Remington-Lee Rifles and of the pro gramme in the main. They suggested that the team match should be for five-men teams as heretofore instead of twenty-men team as proposed, and recommended the institution of a North v. South Island match. They did not favour a 1,000 yards range, and suggested a 900 yards at most for the iinal twenty in the Championship. As to the idea of doing away with the old belts to procure a new one with the same clasps and suggested that belts be continued, the rifle and carbine belt to bo presented to the weapon with which the winner was armed till one was won outright. As to the proposal to take a promissory of note 30s from each man it was suggested that the captains of the corps iright sign for the rifles in place of the men but it was thought; necessary to have some check on the "ifies. Captain Soinmerville said he expected to have 400 rifles and had ordered 1011,000 rounds extra to the date of meeting they favoured January or February but declined to consider Otago interests alone.

SUSPICIOUS OCCURRENCE.

Supposed Attempted Inccu

diaxisni

Two separate outbreaks of fire occurred last night and early this morning in the stables of Messrs Dwmgool and Kelly in John street, Mount Eden, under such circumstances as leave but little doubt that they were tlie work of an incen diary. - The stables in question adjoin each other, and Mr Drumgool states thafc he was in his stables about ho If-past eight o'clock last night with a lighted candle. He fed the horses and left everything safe, going to bed himself about teu o'clock, j lie was n'urakened im mediately before midnight ;by a cry of "Fire," and petting up, discovered that Kelly's stable was on fire. He lost no time in going to the stable, when he dis covered that the building was on fire in no fewer than three separate places. The (lames were extin guished with assistance from some neigh bours, and Mr JJiumgool went to bed again. He says ho was awakened again by a crackling noise, and then found that the room of Ins own stable was on lire. Til© horses and harness wero quickly got out, and the fire was again suppressed. Constable Dewes and Christie heard of the occuiTence while they wero on duty at the Edcu Terrace lire, and proceeding to John-street, were in time ,to see the extinction of the flames. Mr Drum gool gave them the explanation of the affair that we have published above. The police will investigate the circumstances surrounding the occureiicc. By the kind permissioe of Captain Bosan quet, 11.M.8. Opal will be thrown open to the public to-morrow afternoon, from 1 to ;"i p.m., also on Sunday for the same hours. As this is a fine op portunity for the public to inspect this iino vessel and as the De.vpnport Steam Ferry Company, have advertised to run their steamers to and fro, this opportvnity will no doubt be taken advantage of.
