At the quarterly meeting of the Egmont Licensing Committee at Stratford, Mr. Hignett brought up the question of supplying drink to Maori women. After discussion it was agreed to ask the police to be more diligent in carrying out the law in this direction. The Blenheim Borough Council has decided to raise a loan sufficient to wipe oat the whole of its present liabilities. The Council hopes thus to effect a saving in interest of £BO per annum. The miners working at Karangahake railway tunnel are still out on strike. They say the Government terms would not give them a living wage and they will sot accept them. They are willing to have a fair price fixed by any three competent mine managers or work at 8s per day for one month and then fix a co-operative price on the basis of that amount of work. Mr. James Linn, aged 72, an old settler, died suddenly at Normanby last evening. The deceased was a Crimean veteran and also took part in the Maori war. A new system of granting railway passes for the Rifle Association meeting hai been arranged by th#Defence Minister. All railway passes must now be issued by the officer commanding the district, and Riile Club men must send their applications to Colonel Sommerville, being careful to state the station at which they wish to entrain, Colonel Sommerville will wire the name to the officer commanding the district, who will forward the pass. There is no alteration in the case of volunteers. All applications now in were sent on Friday. The result of Mr. Tregear's interview with Mr. Barry at Waihi is that the latter agreed to reinstate all meu who were dismissed from the mine since the presentation of the Union demands as soon as they drop the dispute. Mr. Wolloy, secretary of the Union, and Mr. Dane will be reinstated forthwith, owing to Mr. Tregear's personal assurance that they took no active part against the Company This acknowledges the important principle that the cflicials of Unions are not to be sicgled- out for presenting a claim. These concessions may result in a satisfactory solution of the difficulty when Itlie ballot of the Unions ia taken.

The members of the Spanish Cabinet in succession to General Azcaiaga are: Premier, Senor Sagasla; Minister of the Interior, Scnor Movct; War, General Weyler; Foreign Affairs, Seaor Alinodovar; Finance, Senor Urzary; Marine, Admiral Veragus. Speaking at Te Awamutu, the Hon. J. G. Ward said the present condition of affairs with regard to cable rates between New Zealand and Australia was unsatisfactory, and he thought New Zealand should lay its own cable. He had formerly asked the Cablo Company if they would sell their cables, and he thought the matter was remitted to the London Bo.jrd, but ha had heard no more of it. The Premier was with him in the views he held that the. State should own its own \ cable, and he trusted that the majority of , members of Parliament would also agree, se J that the much needed reform would not be a thing of discussion but an established fact. With a State-owned cable the rates would be considerably reduced. Holloway's Ointment and Pills. Indinputable remedies. In the use of these medicaments there need be 110 hesitation or doubt of their cooling, healing, and purifying properties. The Ointment stands unrivalled in relieving, healing and thoroughly curing the most inveterate sores and ulcers, and in cases of bad legs and bad breasts they act as a charm. The Pills are the most effectual remedy for the cure of liver complaints, which derange all the proper functions of the organs affected, inducing restlessness, melancholy, wearnineis, inability to sleep, pain in the tide, etc. These wonderful Pills, if taken according to the printed directions accompanying each box, strike at the root of the malady and stimulate the stomach and liver into a healthy actios.—Advt,

The City 15and Concert was poorly attended, but was a very good performance. The picnic for the Convent schoolchildren will be held at the Waterworks on Thursday, March 14th.

Mr. C. R Bt-nford's Dramatic Cempany will appear at the Theatre Royal on Thursday and Friday next. The opening piece on Thursday night will be an entirely original melodrama of modern life entitled "The Power and the Glory." by arrangement with Mr, Charles Holloway. This play enjoyed a run of six weeks when first presented at the Theatre RoyiJ, Melbourne, last year and saven weeks at the Lyceum Theatre, Sydney. Mr. Bismarck Shannon, the Company's representative, is in town making the necessary arrangomeflts. On Thursday next Mr Newton King will hold a clearing sale of < l airy and farm stock at Tataraimaka on account of Mr A. E. Watkins who has sold his farm. The cattle are an exceptionally choice lot, belcg mostly' half to pufe bred Jerseys and are well worth the attention of Jersey fanciers. The bulls are champion prize winners, and will prove a valuable acquisition to any dairy. Though the removal of the headquarters of the Polynesian Society to Taranaki, says the Wellington Post, met with the unanimous approval of the Council, and the full confirmation of last night's general meeting. It cannot but be a matter of regret to scientific circles in Wellington, which as the University city and the site of the Colonial Museum-and three important libraries, is, as a sitej manifestly the most appropriate. The valuable and unique ethnological and philological library accumulated by the society during the past ten years will in itself be a serious loss to the city, and, as regards the general student will be practically buried in New Plymouth. These considerations had full weight with the Council, and it was not without reluctance that the change was made. It was, however, inevitable, Mr. Percy Smith, apart from the leading share be has always taken in the work of the society, is the only member of the Council possessing the advantage of leisure. He is now settled in a district where he has special advantages for foMowing up his investigations, and has I the assistance of a Strong council of residents in his own neighbourhood. In Wellington, since his removal, it has often been difficult to find a quorum. The change, therefore, rentable as it is in many respects, is in the interests of the society, and had, in fact, become inevitable. The feature of the Home Mission meeting

jheld lately ia connection with the Weseyan Conference was an earnest address of the Bey. Robert Hadden, a young half-caste, who is one of the most zea ons workers the Wesleyans have amongst the Maoris. Mr. Haaden t-peaks English perfectly, having been edncated at the Wesleyan Oollege at the Three Kings, and hs has powers of description that many an Englishman might envy. His account of the trials and troubles of the missionaries among-t the ratives in many parts of the West Coast of the North Island >vvas listened to with the closest attention, and there were cries of " Shame, shame," when he depicted some harrowing scenes amongst Maoiis in Taranaki caused by the indulgence «f his peonle in strong drink. Mr. Hadden's address made a strong impression on the minds of all present, and the President of the Conference (Rev. 0. H, Garland) remarked that it was worthy of Exeter Hall. At the suggestion of Kev. Dr. Morley a fund was started in the room to erect a residence in Taranaki for Mr. Hadden. and over £4l was subscribed in a few minutes. i Harvest Thanksgiving Services will be held in the Primitive Methodist Ohurch, Queen-stroet, to-morrow (Sunday), March 10th, when the Rev.
