A KKKIUHT train in Montana broke in halves on a steep gradient ami 1H trucks ran Hi niiloH to Nyaeh station, whore they crashed into a passenger train. Thirtysix |iersuns were killed, and as the ears took tire twenty eight bodies were cremated.

TaIEKI Advocate says : - " It is stated that a pamphlet will shortly be is. r ued by the Government, giving directions for the successful nursing of babies. Our progressive legislators having Kiirely their minds made up to cope with (he decreasing birthrate, and have resolved to secure the successful raising of what children there are born." A NORTHERN paper states that, there are immense herds of >vild pig.- around Tarawora and Rotoinahana. The Ngatirangitihi tribe, who lost so many people at. Mount nt the time of the eruption, declared the whole district tapu, consequently the pigs have increased so much that food has become scarce and the pigs bold. David Swanson was sentenced to three months' imprisonment at Auckland for " ringing the changes" in four hotels by the usual method Entering a bar with a friend he called for drinks, tendered half a sovereign and got 9s (id change. He then pretended to discover that he had •id in his pocket, and asked for the half sovereign back, thus, puzzling the barmaid, he got off with his half-sovereign and 9s (id change. The Maoris are discussing the question raised at the Rotorna meeting of going to England for the Coronation. In the Pipiwharauroa newspaper, of Gislxirne, a writer from Te W'hiti, Crewera Country, says 200 of the Matat.ua tribal "canoe" wish to go to England. In the same paper is published a letter from the late Major Fox, advising his people not to go to England as proposed, "lest they may be made as dogs." Whilst Patrick Corrigan, a fisherman at St. Leonards, Hobsons Hay, was fishing from his boat he noticed in the distance a whale whose appearance has previously been reported. The mammal sounded, ami after a time Corrigan was surprised to see the monster coming straight for his boat. He quickly got his craft out, of the way, but was almost capsized by the swell from the whale as it passed. Corrigan go', on tile deck of his boat and stamped his feet in the hope of frightening the great fish, but was surprised to see it coming towards his boat once more. The fisherman, not caring for the whale's company sailed for home.

A sensational abduction case is reported from Wanganui. Some three years ago a boy was kidnapped whilst going home from school and his father utterly failed to find where the child had been hidden, though the police throughout the colony had been informed of the case and a reward was offered for his recovery. Quito recently the police discovered the missing lad, who is a son of Joseph Soler, a well-known vigneron and wine maker, near Balclutha, and restored him to his father. The latter is taking legal proceedings against those whom he suspects of having kidnapped the child, who it is thought was dressed as .a girl and sent to various places to defeat the efforts of the police to Hud him. Soler brought a somewhat sensational action for divorce from his wife about the time his boy was kidnapped. Disctssin.; the war editorially, the Wellington Post Remarks : —Reluctantly we are compelled to the belief that the end of the war may still be far off, and that the last stages of it will be marked by increasing bitterness and bloodshed. To 0111 lit it k [ll'.ik'lllli' tlllt lll'lliy lilol'e colonial troops will be required, and picked men chosen who will tight bush fashion without being handicapped by c nvoys. There are still 11,000 burghers in the field, and are fought as are "bushrangers " as they must be to be killed or captured it may mean years of work before the country is pacified. Besides this radical change of method, the Kitchener proclamation should be enforced ; but even then we question if the Boers can be brought to submission unless by promise of amnesty to all the. (.'ape rebels who have joined their cause. Meanwhile, t liesc colonies may soon be required to lend further aid, and it is well to consider what we shall be prepared to do if it be .-inked. The country has declared fur imperialism, and will lie expected to prove its sincerity whenever called upon.
