The coal position is still far from satisfactory-, and the extended facilities depend upon the present coa! position being maintained. There will be an additional passenger train from New- Plymouth to Wellington, connecting at Palmerston North -with"- the train from Napier on Tuesday, in view of the opening of Parliament. " ""
