THE HOT LAKE TOURIST TRAFFIC.

AN.ILL WIND THAT BLOWS

NOBODY GOOD.

(by telegram—own corresjponpe.nt,)

Wellington, this day. Mr Mills, the General Manager of tho Union Steam Shipping Compauy, informs me that during the past year there has been a large falling off in the tourist traffic to the Lake District, but he does nob attribute this wholly to the destruction of the Pink and White Terraces by the eruption of Tarawera. He says that the land owners in Australia, from whom the tourist traffic is largely drawn, have been prevented from travelling by long contiuued drought there, while the depression in New Zoaland has caused the South Island people to remain at home on the principle that it is "an ill wind that blows nobody good." Mr Mills anticipates largely increased traffic during the coming season, for Australians who have hitherto paid Tas mania a visit are not likely to go there after the recenc small-pox scare, and accordingly may come onto this colony.

OUR FIJI LETTER.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Levuka, October 26. Since my last no little excitement and in dignation has pervaded the public mind of Levuka by reports that tho Government in tended shortly to close this as a port of entry for ocean-going vessels, but energetic action on the part of the citizens has (at al* events temporarily) averted this disastrous blow to the trade and commerce of the colony. Rumours to the above effect have been whispered for some time past, but were little regarded, as it was not believed that even our Government could commit sdeh a suicidal act. When, however, the harbour master in charge of the port was ordered to remove to Suva, and the sub-collec tor and another officer in the Cus toms department employed here received notice that their services would be dis pensed with at the close of the current year, it was felt that the time for action had come. The town addressed a letter to His Excellency asking for imformation as to the truth or Otherwise of current rumours. No answer was returned to this letter, and the Chamber Commerce then, took the matter in hand, and sent a deputation of five of our leading business men to Suva. These gentlemen received a courteous re ception at the hands of His Excellency, and succeeded in obtaining a promise that pro vision for Customs Department;.should be placed on the estimates for the coming year. His Excellency, however, informed them that if revenues continued to fall off the port would have to be closed, and despite the facts adduced to prove that buoli action would impoverish the colony to an extent infinitely beyond the bagatelle ex penditure required to. keep the port open, he could not be moved from the position taken up. His Excellency admitted that tlie removal of the seat of Government from Levuka to Suva was an unfortunate blunder on the part of his predecessor, but it having been done that port must now be forced ahead, no matter how any other portion of the colony might suffer thereby. •

Burlesque Legislation.

The past week has brought to light amending acts on ordinances passed since the Ist January last, and lawyers say that the bankruptcy ordinance, also enacted this year, is worse than useless for all practical purposes of protection to creditors. I heard a some what scandalous suggestion the other day, to the effect that blundering legislation in the latter ordinance might perhaps be ascribed to the financial straits in which the Colonial Treasurer now finds himself.

Official Salaries Reduced.

j His Excellency summoned the Civil Ser-' vice together last week to hear the particu larly welcome information that all salaries up to £200 would be reduced 10 per cent., up to £500 a second reduction of-5 per cent., making 15 per cent, off in all. Over £566, 1a second reduction of 10 per cent. His Excellency also presented a second pill

for'digestion to the effect that the staff, would be reduced at the close of the cut rent year, and that the number of em ployees would be further reduced mJune next. It is devoutly hoped that these re ductions will include some of the worse than useless drones drawing high pay as heads of departments.

Mail Matters.

The Fijian-Sydney mail boat came into port from Suva on Sunday last, the Waihuij from Auckland, with San Francisco mails on board being in that harbour when she cast off from the wharf. A delay of half an hour or so would have enabled the post master to send on Levukabags, but Captain Hurry refused to wait, and consequently our letters did not come to hand untd yesterday.

Fatal Poisoning Accident.

Last week two children aged 7 and 4 years, sons of MrsCutbush, a widow resident in the outskirts of Suva,, gathered and ate flowers, ota poisonous acacia shrub known as Pride of Madagascar." Everything was done for the unfortunate boys that the skill ot Dr. Coiney, chief medical officer, could do, but with no effect,both dying within two hours. A subscription was opened, on behalf of the bereaved mother, who is in poor circum stances, and ib has been liberally responded to.

Drowning.

A fatal boab accident is also reported from the island of Naitamba, in the eastern portion of the group. The overseer in charge with a crew of Polynesians, had been off to a coaster lying outside the reef, and returning to shore after sundown, managed to get their boats capsized in the surf. Two of the Polynesians forming the boat's crew were drowned. The European overseer and the other three labourers managed to clam ber on to the keel of the boat and were roscued from the shore after spending 16 to 18 hours in the uncomfortable circum stances above described.

Various Items

Encouraging accounts have beon received from Melbourne re tho annexation project. A complimentary dinner is being given to-night to Mr G. R.-Wilkin, manager of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, prior to his departure by the Wainui for Now Zealand on a well earned holiday. Dr. Dunlop, of Taviuni, leaves at the same time for Sydney via New Zealand, to the regret of all that portion of the group. The captain of the barque Astrea has been fined £25 and two men belonging to the s.s. Suva £50, or six months' each, for smuggling clothing—the captain also forfeiting forty-one suits of clothes. The captain is a foreigner, and was ignorant of the Customs regulations.

MESDAMES FLETCHER AND ROY'S BANKRUPTCY.

Mr John* Leydon, auctioneer, and Mr G- Andrews, of the firm of Andrews and Cooper, have been examined on oath as to their connection with the bankruptcy of Mesdames Fletcher and Roy by the Oflioial Assignee. Mr Levdon stated that he had been employed by Andrews and Cooper to soil the effects of Mesdames Fletcher and Roy, on July 13th and 14th. He received his in structions from Mr Andrews, who came to him with the inventory and told him to advertise the sale in three papers. He pre pared the advertisements from the inven tory, but did not submit the draft'ad vertisements to Mr Andrews. He paid for those advertisements out of the proceeds of the sale. He left the' advertisement to tho discretion of the newspapers as to the form in which it would appear. Tbe master was . the same in all the advertisements. There was an arrangement with Mr to his (Leydon's) fee. Heing a small salerand &St9HBM~ ot 1 tt'<|v»tiltfig* only charged£22aperday. Having-regald to the number of items, it wpuld be impos sible to sell oti" one day. He did not of diet the refreshments. Theitem£7i_B_d deducted in tho account sales is the goods bought by Mi- Bradford. Mr Andrews said it was all right, and he need not get the money from Bradford. He didn't think Andrews gave any reasons. Ho (Mr Leydon) rendered the account sales to Andrews and Cooper with the balance of £20 16s 2d. For the number of. items the advertising and other charges might be a trifle more than usual. Mr George Andrews stated that he was a partner in the firm of Andrews and Cooper and that his business connection with Mesdames Fletcher and Roy commenced about a month previous to the sale, the first transaction being concerning some 1 debts for collection. His firm sued, through Dr. Laishley, for Dennison's debt, and judgment was given for some amount between £20 and £30, but the defendant becoming bankrupt, nothing was recovered. The second business was the sale." Mesdames Fletcher and Roy asked his firm to take an inventory of the furniture and arrange a sale. His firm handed the list to Mr J. Leydon, and f instructed him to advertiso and sell in the usual way. The accounts connected with the sale were paid by Mr Leydon without being submitted to Andrews and Cooper. Mrs Fletcher gave express directions that the advertisementshould appear in the three papers. He could not say why Mr Leydon bad charged £4 4s for his foe, instead of $ commission on the amount realised. A smjn of £5 was lent by bis firm to the bankrupts, but the £7 in Leydon's account had no re ference to this amount. The item of £2 8s was for three weeke'rent for tho Queen-street house paid to Mr Lynch. The amount of £7 lis 3d was for furniture bought by Brad ford, for which he did not pay. There was no arrangement made that this should be a set off _g_in_e Money owfffg PY him,;( A ndrews) to Bradford., The luncheon at the sale waa ordered from Bradford by Mrs ifQ £4 6s 4d, but was afterwards reduced" to £3 lOsu The following are the items:—July 13: 12 bottles rum, 10s; 5 gallons ale, 13s 4d; 1 dozen English ale, £1 4s; 3 dozen lemonade, 14s; lunch, £1. July 14: Lunch, ss. Total£4 6s 4d. In regard to the rent, they (Andrews and Cooper) gave a guarantee to the landlord of the Queen-street house, Mr Robertson, for £34, but he could not say how much was paid. The sum pf £13 7s 4d was loss on the new- furniture, for which they had guaranteed the full price, £28 10s 6d, but the amount realised when sold by Mr Dowden Avas only £15 3s 2d. The item pf £10 12s to Dr. Laishley had been paid by them, and the receipt handed to Mrs Roy., They had no arrangement with Fletcher and Roy that they should not charge for the" loss on' the furniture. He had received £20 15s 2d from Mr Leydon. By Dr. Laishley: The whole of the details of the sale arrangements were left to Mr Leydon. He did not consult him (Andrews) upon the length of the advertise ments. Fletcher and Roy's estate now owned his firm £30 2- lOd. He had got no rebate or commission from the auctioneer. He had taken part in this transaction Bimply to oblige hiß partner, Mr Cooper, wha was a boarder at Fletcher and Roy's. He had charged nothing for hia services, but had lost £30.

Some little exoitemenfc was caused in town this afternoon by the strange con duct of a lunatic who called himself a Commodore, and said. he was the owner of nearly all Auckland, and went into the shop of Mrs Williamson, tobacconist, and demanded rent, and was there taken into custody by Con stable' Hanson.
