A sudden death occurred at the Star Hotel, Kihikihi, on Friday. Tiie deceased Alexander Keith, lately employed at the tunnel, whilstin the Hotel was taken suddenly ill and expired within a few moments. De ceased, who was between 30 and 40, was formerly an officer in the Imperial Army, and at one time hold an important position in the.Civil Service of the New Zealand Government. ~ , ' Inquest «-j,- ,■-■.,.,-. , , Te Awamutu this day. An inquest was held at Bond's Star Hotel, Kihikihi, on Saturday, upon the body of Alexander Eliphinstone Keith, before Mr Gresham, District Coroner, and a jury of whom Mr Forbeswas elected foreman. The death was of a very sudden character. From the medical evidence it appeared that it had resulted from inflammation of the bowels. The deceased was apparently in good health on Friday morning, and at six o'clock tho same evening he died. It is believed that Mr Keith was highly con nected in Scotland and in Leicestershire, and that he formerly held a commission in H.M. Life Guards. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the evidence.

The Catholic Church of.St. Patricks was opened at Orepuke yesterday by Bishop Moran who deneunced as shabby and un just the action of those who opposed Catholic claims for an educational grant. The concession was oppored because it would increase the expenditure, and yet Catholics were entitled to £40,000 a year, that being the sum saved to the Govern ! ment by their schools.

THE SCULLING CHAMPIONSHIP.

KEMP'S CHALLENGE,

Peter Kemp is ono of Australia's most promising scullers, and has yon a great many important matches during the last few years. So far as we are aware j he has nob met either Beach or Haitian in public. Kemp wont to England last year as Beach's trainer, avid lie acted in a similar capacity for the champion in his last match with Hanlan.

P. Kemp is 34 years of age, and was born at Colo, the name of a .stream running into the Hawkesbury about eighteen miles dis tance from Windsor, where be now lives and has a farm of his own. Hβ first came into prominence by beating Solomon easily for £50 aside on the Hawkesbury. Next he vowed Matterson on the Nepoan for £200, when Neil won. He won the Mor peth Regatta with a start of 20sec., or 10 from Charlie Messenger. On July 4tli ho defeated Neil Mutteraon over the Champion ship course in a very hollow stylo. He is a very strong man, built on some what similar lines to Beach, only smaller. He has fine arms and shoulders and back, and good legs. In his last match with Mattorson Kemp beat Beach and Hanlan's record up to Uhr's Point on tho champion course, doing it in lmin. 50sec.

Beach has stated that in his opinion no sculler, with the exception of Gaudaur, could so extend him for two miles as Kemp,

(BY TELEGRAPH. — OWi? CORBKSi'ONDENT.)

Thames, this day. The Committee who were appointed at tho iccent public meeting of miners, to con sider how the Mining Act, 1886, could be best amended, have finished their labours. Tho suggested amendments will be for warded to Parliament to-morrow in the form of a petition, as follows: —(1) "That no area of new goldiiolds should exceed ten acres in extent for tho first four years ; (2) that one acre should be tho extent allowed to one man, and that in a claim or licensed holding, one man be employed to every aero ; (3) that on the receipt of ap plication, the Warden shall cause the survey to be made and lodged within thirty days ; and (4) that men working on tribute in ground held on lease or license bhall not count as manning such ground."

AN EXTRAORDINARY PROPOSAL.

Torpedo Fracticc.

[J3Y TELEdKAI'H. — HiESS ASSOCIATION , .]

Wellington , , Sunday. It is intended to test the efficiency of the torpedo branch of the defences of the colony and with this view the whole of tho perma nent force of tho colony connected with the working of torpedoes and the laying of mines, will be summoned to Wellington, with perhaps tho exception of tho store keeper fit Auckland. Tho display in fixed to commence on tho sth of January, and the work will probably take somo three months) before tho final test is made. Captain Falconer, K.E., who is well versed in this mode of warfare, has been encrusted with the full charge. of making tho arrangements, and as tho torpedo branch is known to possess many who are incapable for the work en tiut-ied to them, it is his intention to weed out all undesirable men and place 1 ho branch on such a footing that the Admiral of Aus tralasia and tho commanding oflicers of other war vessels of other nations, on Visit ing New Zealand, will at once .see that one portion of tho naval defence of this colony has not boen neglected. The torpedo launches at Lyttelton and Port Chalmers are expected hero shortly, and will take part in tho manoeuvres.

Thoro has been a fino market for mining stocks. Cambria have been sold at 7s 6d ; Saxon at 4s 6d, ex dividend, with buyers and sellers holding for an advance. Tron ton have been enquired for at 3s to 3s 3d ; sellers 3s 5d ; Bank of New Zealand shares sales, £12 12s 6d ; Now Zealand In surance are quoted at 69,5; mortgage sellers, 21s 6d ; sales, 21s 3d; gas sellers, £10 15s ; Loan and Mercantile sellers, 68s.

Macky, Logan, Sthkx and Co. v. St. Mvby's C.C.—The above match played on Saturday on the St. Mary's Club ground, St. Mary's road, Ponsonby resulted in a victory for the home team by 10 runs. Only one innings was played. Score:—M. L. S. and Co. 74 runs— (Vickery 29). St. Mary's 84 runs. (A. W. Father Egan 53 ; J. H. Swales 16.) The bowling honours were shared by Messrs Goudie (3 wkts. for 1 run) and Adgerson (1 wkt. for 6 runs) for the M.L.S. and J. H. Swales (4 wkts. for 19) and Father Egan (5 wkts.,for 28 runs).

The Temperance Hall was fairly attended on Saturday night, the chair being oc cupied by Mr Tremain. Mr Hayter de livered an address on the Physiology of the Human System, and the injuries sustained by tho internal organs from the use of alcohol. Miss Guest and Mr Stanton contributed cones, Mr Marson accompany ing. Little Miss Leslie also gave an amus ing recitation.

A noteworthy feature in the perform ance of " Rob Roy " to-morrow evening will be the Highland Reel to be danced on the stage by nine performers, three of whom are ladies. This dance has been well x-ehearsed, . like all other departments of the performance, and a-cs it introduces some novel evolutions Avill be well worth witnessing. The iinal re hearsal, with full dress and all other adjuncts, it is to take piace to-night at the Opera House, when no one will be admitted except performers, and those holding orders from the manager. The fortnightly meeting of the Mount Eden Baptist Band of Hope was held on Friday evening last, and proved a great success. The building was crowded, and each of the performers acquitted themselves in a very creditable manner. Miss Roberts presided at the organ, and Mr Freeman conducted the choir, which gave several very choice selections. The anniversary tea-meeting was announced for next meet ing. The Benediction brought a very profit able evening to a close. The fire at Mr A. T. Craig's residence, which occurred at Remuera last Friday nigjht, has made him a much heavier loser than was at first anticipated. It appears that besides the loss of all his furniture Mr Craig and his brother lose all their tools, which are estimated to have been worth about £30 or £40. The- builder's risk does not cover the amonntof work done, therefore the owner loses in that particular also.

ALLEGED MANSLAUGHTER.

SAMUEL CLEGG BEFORE THE

COUET,

HE PLEADS NOT GUILTY,

At tho Police Court this morning, before MfH. C. Baddeley, R.M., Samuel Clegg was charged with that he did on the 26th November, 1887, at Auckland, feloniously kill and slay one Arthur Dewson, Offences Against the Prison's Act, 1867, sections 4

and 5. ". . , Clegg, who had been confined in the police cells since ho was lodged there yesterday morning, way escorted to the Court in company with other prisoners. He appeared quiet and composed, and was not overcome by the cerious charge pending against him. Clegg is an ordinary-looking man of medium build, sft. 6in. in height, with brown hair, sandy beard, audshaved on the cheeks. He has light blue eyes, aud a somewhat indifferent expression of counten-

ance. Clegg was placed in the dock, and on the charge being read over to him lie said firmly, "1 plead not guilt}', your Wor ship." Sergeant Pratt said that he was not pre pared to go on with the .prosecution in this case. An inquest was to .bo held today on tho body of Dewson, tho man that the accused was charged with killing. It would be necessary for Clegg to be present at the inquest, and he would ask lor a remand. lb was desirable to have the hearing of the case as soon as possible, and he suggested Wednesday next. His Worship consented to tho remand till Wednesday, and tho accused was re moved from the Court and returned to the police station cells, pending the opening of the inquest. Tho Coroner's Inquest. At 2.30 o'clock to-day an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding tlio death of Arthur Dewson was commenced in < iloeson's Hotel, Lowor Hobson-street. As soou as tho jury had reviewed the body Dr. Logcr Erson held a 2ml mortem to discover the cause of death. Tho deceased's wife appears to have also suffered in the fray. She was visited by De tective Hushes on Saturday, and he noticed that she had a cut on the head, while traces of blood were observable on tho iloor

Dr. Philson officiated as coroner, a jury of six being: also empauuclled. Sergeants Pratt, Clark, McMuhon and Detective Hughes were in attendance on behalf of the police, the senior sergeant examining tho witness. Mr Charles Bailey was chosen foreman of the jury. As soon as the jury had viewed the body JJr. Leger Erson and Dr. Hooper at once commenced tho post-mortem examination of tho body. Sergeant Pratt stated to the jury on be half of tho police that the man being dead in tho cell ho was extremely anxious that tho wholo facts of tho easo (should bo laid before the jury in order to satisfy the public as to the action of the police in tho matter. He therefore wished all the men who had been connected with tho ease to bo examined m as to illicit all they know and thus givo the public tho fullest information. Constable James Addieon was tho first witness examined. Ho deposed to meet ing tho decased in front of the Thislo Hotel about 2.15 a.m. on Saturday the 25th instant. Constable Sheuhan was also present. The deceased said that he had been wounded on the head while in his own house by a man with an iron hook on

his arm.

The Tariff Debate

SIR JULIUS VOGEL'S SPEECH.

(BY TIiUXUt.U'H.- -I'.VKMAMKNTAKY

HJJI'OKTKU,)

\V ELLIN liTOjf,* tills dayi Ik the house this afternoon after the Premier had moved hi.s tariff resolutions, Sir J ulius Vogel said that the party with which ho was allied were not con tent that thero phould not be a specific attempt to have the tariff raised this session. He indignantly repudiated the chargo that ho had been guilty of wast ing the time of the house, saying that ho had only spoken three times andhud scrupulously abstained on some occasions from speaking. He charged the Government with deliber ately wasting the time of tho House or else not being aulo to guide it. Ho referred in strong terms to the odious system of talking out measures, and trusted that all sides would combine to stop it. lie ox pressed his opinion that his alteration in the Customs tariff was perfectly feasible, and would not take a long time. Ho mentioned items where revision was possible with a view to increasing the revenues, and said that 30,000 tons of sal| mon were brought here from San Francisco, while Auckland mullet, if preserved, would be more palateablo, and would be undertaken if inducement were afforded. Dealing with the- Premier's resolution he said that it on its face con tained an untruth as instead of bringing down measures dealing with retrenchment the Government left the House in the dark as to their proposals. A resolution of confidence in the Government was a French plan. Though the opposition were deter mined not to try and lengthen the session, they would not permit measures of which they disapproved to pass without op position. He said that Major Atkin son was utterly unaware of tho condition of the colony, and had no conception of the steps to relieve it. The retrenchment proposed was spurious, and would cause distress all over the colony. If he judged this Land Bill correctly, it would enable immense blocks of land to be acquired without much difficulty. The Government's plans were injuring the credit of the colony its stock had already fallen 3.J per cent, and people would be so prejudiced against New Zea land undertakings that tho obtaining of money for tho Otago Central and Midland .Railways might-be jeopardised. Although the Opposition intended walk ing out of the House arid taking no part in ,the debate he emphatically declared to the House and the country that if they thought they could force a revision of thejtariff. they would do so.

Wfxlington, this day.

; The Secretary read the record pf Satur day's proceedings which was approved. The Secretary gave notice that he should move in the Financial District meeting to morrow morning, that the subject of A Separate Conference for New Zealand bo taken for discussion on Wednesday morn- As this is the burninc question of thehour in the New Zealand Wesleyan Church, and it is well known that the feeling throughout the Auckland district both pro and con runs very high, it is expected that an animated discussion will take place. Kβ Theological Institution. The reports of the lecturers to_ the students at Wesley College were received, and it was agreed that they bo forwarded, to Conference. The reports were as follows: — Report of Lecturer on Ecclesiastical History, District Meeting In obedience to the direction of Confer ence I have attended the college, and as sisted the students in their ecclesiastical history studies. , The wholo of students havo been present at the lectures, until Mr Laws was called out of college by the President, and I have every reason to'be satisfied, alike withtneir useful preparation of the portion assigned for each lecture, and their intelligent interest during its delivery. . The text book in use has been Ihe Student's Ecclesiastical History." During the session we have nearly completed the lirst three centuries. . The excellent behaviour and general spirit and deportment of the students have materially lightened the labours of the lecturer, and augurs well for their future. It is a matter of rogrefc that the students have no good library, with works of refer ence at their disposal. (Signed.) Rainsfokd Bavin. Report of Lecturer on " Methodist Polity." This year the students have not read the ordinary text-book viz., "The Laws and Regulations of the Australasian Wesleyan Methodist Church," as in former years. As they had passed a satisfactory examina tion in this work, I deemed a change ad visable and selected the Fernley Lecture of 1885 " Methodists in the Light of the Early Church." This book the students have carefully read twice and I havo every reason 'to believe thali the examination papers will whew that [they have grasped the principles and facts (there taught. It is with pleasure I record thtir con scientious diligence and tho docility and gentlemanly conduct tfcey havo displayed throughout the session, (Signed) C. H. Oakland. Tln-co Kings Theological Institution. Report of lecturer on English and English literature: — " Pursuant of the instruc tions of the last Conference, I havo : attended Wesley College during the past, year for the purpose of assist ing the students in their study of the English language and its literature. With the exception of Mr Nott who attends features at the University College and Mi- Laws who during tho year was sent as a supply to Dunedio, all the students have attended tho lectures, and it gives me great pleasure to report that their attention, and diligence, their care in preparation, and tho deep interest which they have evidenced have been all that could be desired.

We have not succeeded in securing a suitable text book, but the lectures have dealt with English composition, the struc ture of the language, and the history of its literature to the time of Elizabeth.

1 join with one of tlio lecturers in the expression of regret that no standard works of reference are within reach of the students.

(Signed) 11. R. DEWSBDBY. _ The report of the Principal was also laid upon the table, and will bo considered in the financial district meeting. The report of tho trial sermons of students were received, and tho reemmonda tions re the students wore as follows, viz. : (1). That Mr James T. Burrows, and Mv Samuel, B. "Follows, bo appointed to circuits. (2). That Mr James G. Chapman, be con tinued as a student for a third year. (3). That Mr James T. Nott, and Mr Richard; J, Murray, bo retained as students for a second year.

The Rev. J. Law moved, " That with a view to further training of students a lecturer on elocution be appointed." — Carried.

Tho Rev. C. H. Garland moved, " That there bo a fortnightly sermon preached by the students before the Principal and fellow-students, for the purpose of criticism. "—Carried unanimously. The session closed at 12.30 with the Benediction, pronounced by the Chairman.
