[UV TELEGRAPH—SPECIAL TO STAR] DUNEDIN, This Day.
A number of Chinese quarters in Stafford street were visited yesterday afternoon by Inspectors Donaldson and Gladstone, and several of them are “marked down” to form the basis of a condemnatory report. The dwellings in Walker street are to be examined in due course. The Government will bo asked next session to justify its action by granting a subsidy of £IO,OOO to Alley steamers, which' have been running between New Zealand and Vancouver practically empty. It seems that at last these steamers are to got a little cargo,, but only on account of the extraordinary state of things which could not have been foreseen when the subsidy was granted. A number of Dunedin 'consignees of United States goods have received cables notifying them that on account of the breakdown of the Oceanic Company’s service, American goods are being transferred to Vancouver for shipment hero by tlio Alley steamers. As the next Alley vessel will not get away from Vancouver (ill April 28th, and is not remarkable for speed, importers will needs have to possess their souls in patience. The Minister of Lands reached Dunedin by the first express to-day, and proceeded right through to Invercargill on departmental business.
