SUGAR BOUNTIES.

Protest by English Trade

Unions

AUTHOR OP THE ENGLISH GOVERN-

MENT.

(SPECIAL.)

London, July 24. A deputation representing twenty-six trades unions waited on the Premier yester day to urge that steps be taken to secure the abolition of sugar bounties. They pleaded that all legitimate means consistent with free trade should be anopted.

Lord Salisbury, in reply, said the ques tion was one of tho deepest moment and it was the most important that had been in troduced. Tho working men of England were naturally indignant at being made victims of a continental conspiracy to close the English markets against English work men. There were two courses open to the Government, and a choice would be speedily made. One was to expostulate with the Continental Governments en couraging bounties and ; 4 the other was retaliation. A Conference had al ready been invited, pending the result, of which it would be unwise to discuss the probable action of England. Ho assined the deputation that whatever the result might be, the Government had determined to act with unity and effect.

Fire on a Steamer.

MINING NEWS.

(by telegraph—own correspondent.)

Waihi, Saturday.

Crushing for the Silverton mine is now going on at the Martha battary, where 10 cad of stampers are running Continuously in the reduction of a parcel comprising about 85 tons of quartz, which is shaping for a highly remunerative return. The second lode met with in driving the cross cut from the prospecting shaft^ in the Union mine proved to be two feet in thick ness, and some of the stone broken out therefrom gave mortar prospects of the precious metal, but the inflow of water is now so heavy that the men are at present unable to determine its intrinsic value. This prospecting shaft was sunk to a depth of 120 feet beneath the other workings on the channel of country through which the lode above referred to has its course, and is composed of fine grained tufa, which is invariably found run ning in company with gold and silver-bear ing lodes in this district.

THE SEAMEN'S STRIKE

There is little news to report in connection with the seamen's strike, the Auckland Branch of the Union having suspended oper ations pending the result of negotiationsnow proceeding for the charter of steamers being made known. The Northern Company are running as usual, and although several changes have been made in the crews it is understood that they have not been caused by any influence exercised by the Union.

Sir G. M. O'Rorke's first address of the present campaign will be delivered to; morrow (Tuesday) evening at Onehnngai His address at Newmarket will be given on Wednesday eveningl instead of Thursday, as formerly announced.

Over thirty gentlemen went by the steamer Waitoa yesterday morning to in spect the ostrich farm at Whitefoord Park; The birds were found in good condition, and despite the wretched weather, the visitors thoroughly enjoyed the trip.

Sir Robert Stout's visit to the North on this occasion will be of very brief duration. After speaking here to-morrow evening he proceeds to the Thames on Wed nesday, where he will deliver an adr dress on the evening of that day, and returns South again on Thursday. Sir Robert has not yet decided what subjects he will deal with specially at his meeting here, but it will no doubt comprise an ex haustive defence of the actions of his Go vernment.

The orative typographical errors in Mr ConnelTs speech (published else where) call for correction. The consump tion of tobacco per head in New South Wales should be- 46 ozs as against 35£ozs for Victoria. Mr Connell also said "it would be better to kill our industries than pamper them," and that " we had had enough misgovernment by stupid and ignorant newspaper editors and lawyers."

Sunday afternoon's concert was again an excellent one. Madame Pooley gave Sullivans " Thou art Weary " with dramatic feeling and much fervour the audience taking the opportunity of giving her a hearty' welcome after her illness. Mr Pooley played as an organ solo, his " March Tanpare " which he arranged for the band of H.M.S. Nelson and which they played at the City..Hall some three years ago under the composers baton.

Inspector Shearman, who succeeds In spector Thomson, as officer commanding the Auckland police, arrived here by the Mararoa this afternoon, in company with Mrs Shearman and family.
