A singular contrast to this, was the fact tliat on the occasion of this his first visit to Gisborne as a deparmental officer he had been AA*eatherbound since Sunday. , Yesterday afternoon : the Mayor (Mr W. Pettie) conferred Avith Mr Jas. Hislop, Under-Secretary. J for Internal : Affairs, prior to his departure for South, regarding the visit of H.M.S. NeAV Zealand to Gisborne. Mr Pettie outlined , Avhat had been done, and Mr Hislop advised him to delay definite arrange- ' ments until he (Mr Hislop) wired irom ,' Wellington. He Avould. gather Avhat information he could, both as regard tho arrival and departure of tho battleship , and the captain's Avish'esiJ, and Avould , communicate with the Mayor. After serving 14 days, for drunkenness. ! George Jackson Avas liberated yesterday, ! but later in' the day he Avas again |. arrested At the Police Court this m'ornjing he was convicted of- drunkenness for }.tb.6 fourth time m six months, and avos s sentenced to tAvo months' imprisonment.

Dr. Wi Repa, referring'- to the telei pram from Waipiro yesterday sxiggesting | that many of the typhoid cases m Waiapu j district bad arisen from the Manutuke hui, said to-day that the insinuation could not be true. In the first place, these people could easily have got the infection from Gisborne or on shipboard as from Manutuke. Manutuke was not a typhoid camp. There was not a single case of fever there. A case A\'as reported a Aveek after the dispersal of the people, and Mr Thehvall Arent out to make investigation, but upon investigation it Avas found that the patient came from Whangara and had a brother m hospital with typhoid fever, avlio also came from Whangara. There awis.absolutely no case Avhere the patient had been at the hui. The - sanitary conditions at the hui Avere rigorously looked after. If any person had got the germs of typhoid there, fever Avould have disclosed itself long ago, as the incubation period Avas oiily a fortnight.

Tho revenue from the Gisborne railAvay section for the four-weekly period ending March 1 Avas £1806, and the expenditure Avas £1217. A case of alleged cruelty to a consignment of 3000 sheep, forAvarded from the Chatham Islands to Lyttelton, was mentioned at a meeting of the society for the prevention of Cruelty ■ to Aniinala m Christchurch. The inspector reported. tliat the sheep had' been driven over the; hills m hot Aveather, and then to tha Heathcote Valley, "at* least, as many of them as could walk." They were then kept m a paddock Avithout either food or water, Avith the result that when the inspector saAv the sheep' he found their condition deplorable, and there were 90 dead and dying. " ' : : Ul !*2 R/eferring to the outbreak of typhoid amongst the Maoris m the 'Waiapu (reported m our last issue), Dr, ..Cbe&vti District Health Officer, informetF'a Herald representative prior to his departure south by Jast evening's steamer that it had been found necessary to re! open the fever camp at Manutahi. There, Avere about eleven cases there! and it was thought infection had come] from the Manutuke hui. Tlie Maori hostel at Te Araroa, Avhich Avas under the charge of JSlurse Tate and a probationer, was also doing good work m providing nursine tor the natives. Jhurse McElfigott was recovering from her recent attack of typhmd lever. She is being nursed at Mr A. T. Ngata's residence. ,w.- . :.. .-.
