FIRE AT DEVONPORT.

Shortly after one o'clock this afternoon a Beven-roomed house with lean-to, situated in Cameron-street, Melrose, Devonport, was totally destroyed by fire. The house was owned and occupied by Mr Hedley, secre tary of the Devonport Ferry Company. Mrs Hedley was engaged washing, and a short time before the alarm was given she placed a sheet in front of the dining-room fire, and went into the yard. She had only been there a few minutes when a neighbour told her that her house was on fire. She opened the door and found that the flames had a firm hold of the back portion of the building, which was full of smoke. About the same time Mr E. ,W T. Allison arrived on the scene, and as sisted by Mrs Pine and other neighbours got out some of the furniture. There was no chance of saving the building itself owing to the scarcity of water, which had to be Carried in buckets, and in a very short space of time the place was reduced to ashes. Mrs Hedley and children were received at the house of a neighbour. Mrs Hedley accounts for the fire by the supposition that the sheet which she left before the fire was drawn into the flame by a draught, and set the interior of the dining-room ablaze. About five minutes before 1 o'clock Mr Faddle passed the house and observed no sign of fire. The house was insured for £300 in the Union and the furniture for £100 in the same office.

Wellington, this day. The Shaw, Saville and Albion Company (limited), have cabled to their agents that the rate of freight on all-goods from London to the colony by their sailing vessels is re duced to 20s per ton.

[The Auckland agents of the 3baw> Saville, and Albion Company have received a similar message, which states that the reduced rates apply to all goods upon which freight is payable in London. The previous rates were 25s and upwards.]

Yesterday afternoon, as a young man named Frank Pierce was driving a buggy near the Supreme Court building, the horse bolted, and the vehicle, which was just being taken home from being repaired, was |>uUy smashed. Pierce was thrown out of *_* soggy and sustained a number of tntjjw*. bat w>* not injured seriously.

THE UNION STEAMSHIP COMPANY.

What it Does and What It

Spends.

(BY TELEGRAPH —OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

• ■ " l Dunedin, this day. Mr James Mills, speaking at Port Chalmers on Tuesday night, argued against a special tax on colonial shipping. He said for the kindly manner in which his op ponent had spoken of him, he wished to thank him, but he understood that he had been endeavouring to raise a little feeling against the Company to which he (Mr Mills) belonged, by declaring his intention to get ships made subject to tho property tax, to abolish subsidies, and even to close the Victoria Channel. With regard to the property tax, ho feared it would be unworkable, as it could only be levied on locally-owned ships, and might have the effect of driving their owners to register them elsewhere. Otherwise, by being subject to this, they would be at a disadvantage in competing with steamers on the coast registered elsewhere. We had now on the coast steamers from both Germany and New South Wales, and we had also sailing ships doing coastal work sailing from Germany and America, and we had also steamers from abroad, both American and English. To render such a tax consistent it would be necessary to protect locally-owned ships, and provide legislation that, none other should be allowed to trade to our ports. This would be very satisfactory provided other colonies should not retaliate. In that case where would be New Zealand? Steamers would not be allowed to .visit Australian ports, nOr would Australian steamers bo allowed to visit New Zealand ports. This would not work well, though, no doubt, it would be quite proper from a protectionist point of view. His hearers' had no doubt seen how recently the Vic torian ship owners demanded from this Go vernment some share in the benefits to be derived from the policy of the colony, aud they asked that locally-owned vessels should enjoy exemptions from port dues, and also receive a bounty. This had been refused, but he confessed that he could hot see how they could with any consistency continue to^fo so. He would like to say, however, that although the property tax was not levied on ships, the Company did not escape from contributing their fair share to the government of the colony. They paid, of course, property tax on all their pro perty other than ships' stores, merchan dise, etc. They paid in Customs duties on supplies no less than £6,000 or £7,000, and in light dues some £5,000. They paid no less a sum than £12,000 for pilotage and port dues, notwithstanding that they never, or very rarely, utilised the services of pilots. He could mention many other suras to show that the Company contri buted very considerably to .the support of the institution of the colony. (Applause. )He made bold to say that the Union Company was the greatest local industry in the colony, and as such deserved every sym pathy and consideration both from the people and the Government of the colony, seeing that it was such a large employer of labour, and that by its large expenditure it afforded a great deal of assistance to many deserving industries. The total expendi ture last year amounted .to about £600,000, and something like £50,000 per month. The total number of employees ashore and afloat who were under monthly en gagements was. I*soo, representing, with families and belongings, 5,000 souls. Of mechanics, labourers, local carriers and others; there were from 500 to 600 who de pended upon work from the Company, re {iresenting, with families, etc., probably rom 1,500 to 2,000 persons. They supported directly nearly 7,000' per sons,, besides, in directly, the tradesmen,'. labourers, etc., with whom they dealt." -Of their expendi ture, £200,000 went in wages and labour; • £40,000.in repairß and mainten ance (largely labour); £60,000 in victual ling alone. In connection with the latter item the Company used in one year no less than 2,000,0001b of meat, equal to 40,000 sheep or £15,000 worth of dairy produce. During the last six months they had carried 80,000 tons of West Coast coal, or equal to 160,000 tons in the year; and their steamers had consumed no less than 120,000 tons of coal themselves. These figure* were very in structive, and when it was considered that the greater part of the money was expended in the colony, it would be admitted that the Company deserved to rank as a local in dustry, and that it would be inadvisable to do anything to divert any portion of the expenditure away from tne colony.

BATHS FOR WELLINGTON.

(by telegbaph.—press association.)

Wellington, this day. A proposal was made to the Harbour Board for a long lease of the foreshore at present occupied by the Thorndon Baths, with the intention of forming a company to build new and commodious premises. The Board.found themselves unable to grant more than fourteen years' lease, and the idea was dropped. The need of new baths is, however, urgent, and probably an at tempt will be made to obtain the necessary site ny legislation, with a longer and more certain tenure.

THE DEPRESSION LIFTING.

Increase of Cnstoms Duties.

(BT TELEGRAPH.— PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. The Customs duties for August amounted to £121,079 as against £108,641 for the same month last year, and £96,712 for July of this , year. The advance is attri buted partly to the importation of spring goods by drapers, and partly to the reaction from the depression of previous months. The returns from the j .P"ncipal ports were as follows : Auckland £J°>}«<> Wellington £19,988 ; Christchurch £21,633; Dunedin £30,549. The beer duty for August amounted to £3,729; also an advance on previous month's. In August last year it was £3472; and In July last £3.464. The amounts for the principal towns are :-Auckland, £801; Wellington, £429 ; Christchurch, £767; Dunedin, £695.

Election Notices. 0 THE RATEPAYERS OF THE NORTH WARD. Ladie3 and GENTLBMEN,-On seeking your support at the Ballot-box, I respectfully say that, as in the past, it shall be mv endeavour to Economise, that the large overdr* t may still be reduced, though tlie difficulty will increase with the certainty of a decreasing revenue. Tho levels of the thoroughfares are so ad iusted and carried into effect, that property owners will have the opportunity of building thereon, without the risk of sireet formation.to damage their enterprise. Amongst the many needed works, drainage and water shall, as in the past, have my warmest support. I am, Yours respectfully, CHARLES ATKIST. TO THE ELECTORS OF EAST WARD. Ladies and Gemtlemen— I am again a Candidate to represent our Ward at the City Council. If you again elect mo I will do in the future as I have done in tho past, that is, try very hard to secure a fair Bhare of current expenditure within our Ward; and I assure yon it is not always easily done. While doing my duty to my Ward I am particularly desirous to eeoviro a more reliable supply of wator by increased storage at tho Western Springs, and every other means that may hereafter become available. I shall be always -willing at any time to do wliatover I can to got the vexed questions of Emily Place and Shortland-street settled; also, the works in Queen-street, above Alexandra street, amicably isettled, and I believe from tho efforts I have already made, that if the depres sion had not coim; on quite so soon, that before this summer had'passed over, we should have had these works ia hand. If my action and votes in the Council during the number of yeans I have been there, have not pleased everyone, it is simply because it is impossible. Tho differences that of necessity must ariso through altering levels, building retaining walls, etc., cannot bo fairly settled without expense to tho individual. It is very much more agreeable to' vote for the individual; but it we all did ihat then our city would unduly suffer through our having shirked the responsibility of voting fair and protecting the ratepayer as against the in dividual. Again, no matter how much a Councillor does for the whole of th c ratepayers, no one thanks him. Whorcas a vota for the property owner ensures at once a hearty recognition followed by a friendly shake of the hand. Financially the Council will probably make a few thousands oi^r expenditure this year, but the continued failing off in rental value does not point to any very promising results in the future. In fact, I believe the next valuations -will considerably reduco tho Council's income, thereby necessitating very careful shperriaton over the expenditure, and doing withoftt what is perhaps now considered indispensable. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the kind of "work tniit is so disagreeable; in short, it needs a firm man to face it and successfully pull it through. As you know me sp well I need not say any more at present. lam, faithfully yours, W. OROWTHERV VOTE FOR CROWTHER.
