TABLE TALK.

' Betsy " at the Opera House, And why shouldn't Betsy go to the Opera House ? Oh, you don't understand! That's the name of the comedy to be produced to night. Then we must go and see Betsy. Of course ; sbe'e awfully funny. The comedy is by the editor of "Punch." Fire in Beresford-street this morning. Yet; the incendiary rat killed on Satur day last must have left a successor to the business. Mr Gladstone marching out with tie Home Rulers ! A noble example of devotion to principle on the part of the " grand old man." The Unionists are determined to support the Government in passing the coercive measure. Yes i but they don't do this on principle, but simply to prevent Mr Gladstone return ing to power. Dog-in-the-manger policy ! I expected better things of Hartington. Qb 1 he has a sneaking regard for the Tories and is working in their interests. Jubilee troubles in London, I ccc. Yes ; a cable message says ;—" The feel ing of opposition manifested as to the mode of celebrating the Queen's Jubillee in London is on the increase." Well, what does that mean ? Is it a Socialistic spirit that ia at the bottom of it? I scarcely think so. Probably a few people with a "fad," which they want, to , carry out. Somebody who thinks that a big gaol or workhouse would be the best Jubilee memo- ' rial to erect! Talking of the Jubilee, yon should hear the cantata to-night, " Britannia and Her Daughters." Mean to be there, of course, and T expect St. James's Hall will be crowded. The big stage will be crowded tji ; chorus of 120 voices besides many other per formers. Inquest on the Bnlli disaster proceed ing. The evidence given shows gross careless ness on i lie part of the men, and neglect of 11 ■■'. ary precautions by the Company. •jh yes; blame the dead men. Lcs absent! out toujmvrs tort. But miners are very reckless, you know. Familiarity with danger breeds contempt for it. Sir George F. Bowen is to hold the position of Governor of Hongkong for a further period of two years. Wonder if Sir Wβ, Jervois will get a " second term " in New Zealand. Retrenchment in New douth Wales Civil Service ; about 150 officers to be dismiseed from the Land Department. Ah ! That's something like retrenchment; must effecfr a large saving in public expendi ture. J Signs of trade levival in Australia The revenue of New South Wales for the past quarter thows an increase of £222,000 compared with the corresponding period of last j ear. That's all right; but in Queensland the ' revenue for the past quarter was £022,000, as compared with £660,000 for the corres ponding period laat year, a falling off of £88,000. Yts ; but that is a small matter compared with the great pi ogress made in Hew South Wales. ■ ■■■-■■ -■■•■■■■■ The Koyal Geographical Society are arranging with the Rev. James Chalmere, a New Guinea missionary, to explore the Owen and Stanley Mountains in New Guinea. French war-ship Duquesne left Auckland to day. .....' Off on a trip to Kawau, and then straight to Tahiti, " the land of love and beauty !" the captain of the baique Ada Melmore. Glad to hear it! There should be a full inquiry into that deplorable collision, The English Postmaster-General hae de clined to sign the contract for the carriage of mails between England aud Australia until the Imperial Conterence has discussed the question. That's Henniker Beaton's doing. He's "running ' Cecil Raikes and the whole Postal Department just now. ■ - ■ Seems to me H.H. wants "sitting on." What in the world has the Imperial Con ference got to do with mail contracts ? Weather set me quite broken, eh ? Yes ; but that't to be expected. We are now in the equinoxes, and wind and rain are to be looked for. - .■■'■ They had a little hurricane at Wellington last week, which was not telegrapbtd, bu* appears to have been rather alarming. Yep ; what did the local papers say about 't? ■■: _/ . ■ ■■' : One journal said:—"The wind, coming \ from the north-west, readied almost hurri cane force, and a more wretched day has rarely been experitneed. Wooden houfis were shaken, to their foundations, an J few people ventured outride. The bar* bour presented a grand spectacle, the spray, as each eucc sesive gust swept the water, rising in a dense cloudy like steam, and rushing at mad speed high over the surface till it broke in a drenching salt rain upon the shore. Towards the evening the gale abated some what, and heavy rain succeeded, flooding the streets in a very short space of time. Daring the gale a 12-ffc. half-decked boat, , named the Ivy, ?aok oft the mole at the foot of Cuba-street; and another half decker belonging to Mr S. Smith, of tha Tramway CompaDy, went under in Orien tal Hay." Must have been a regular "buster ;" but * they think nothing of that at Wellington.' , The Premier arrives in Auckland to night. '■ -' ■ ■ ' '■' -■'■-■ ' He gives a teetotal speech to-morrow night, and a political address on Wednes day. I see , be had A big "korero" with the nativee at Taupo. ■ !V;i ■'.../■ ";', Yee ; it ia proposed there to make alight railway line through the Thermaf Springe district, from Taupo to Tanranga i. Good idea ; it could be made cheap, and : ■ would add immensely to the tourist traffic. The: Maori chiefs will give land in the shape of endowments sufficient to construct the whole line, I suppose. Mr Jas. Service, speaking-before thu Federation League, reruindtd British Btateß men that, engrceeed as they were in party differences and petty fights, they wete' neglecting- Imperial matters of great im- -, portance. Oh ! Thafs all hunkum! The first : Imperial interest to atleno. to is the paoi- " fication of Ireland, You're righ; ; ard that's just what British statesmen arc tackling now. TiR they settle the Irish question, it ie pure " bosh "to talk about the unity of the Empire! • . id Ah ! I'm afraid you're a rank and' net over loyal. '.

The Loan Proposal Carried.

A good leal of interest was taken in the poll on Saturday. Several cabs had been engaged to bring voters to the polling booth, while ihe committee formed in the interest af thrive who were in favour of the loan did their utmost to ensure tuccess The poll resulted in a decided vic'tom jor the loan party by a majority of 64 votes 5 above the required number. As on the two previous occaaions.the succffsa or otherwise of the loan party depended upon securing a sufficient number, of votes, over one half being required. The number of voter* on the roll, is 294", or 34 less than when the last poll was taken; Of this number 203 recorded their votes, 198 herbs f °u-, ~ lo J *l' 4 agßinet ' Bnd "I informal; while 91 did not vote at all. With the ex ception of (he four just mentioned, those against the proposal refrained from votißg either for or against, in the hope, that the required number would not ba polled" ---but they were quite " out of it* Mr Stickley acted as returning nffi cer , and when he announced the result there was I Eoine cheering. Now that the master -is i settled, it is hoped that everything will a _ ( along, smoothly. ■ ,--,>%,
