V. I*. Kello.v, and it) the evening by the Rev. J. W. Burton. The evening subject will be. "Doubt and Belief.” The .batch of Illawarra milking Shorthorns/ which whs imported from Australia recently by the Government have scrvcvl their term of quarantine, and on Tuesday they were removed to the Weraroa State Farm. The Southland Daily News is a poor picker, ft did not believe the Opposition canable of securing more than •wo or three of the seals referred to t.hc second ballot. The Uainaru Mail b not very much better, for it thought there was a strong probability of the Government winning eighteen- of the second ballots. In th* Magistrate's Court to-day before Mr. H. S, Eitzherhevt. S.M., a first oticndiug inebriate \\a*i cenviccd and discharged. Selina Kyle was charged with having been found drunk and with having procured liquor during the currency ot a prohibition order. Detective-Sergeant Boddain said that accused had been arrested by Cons', ft hie WhitehouM 1 . who found her wheeling a perambulator about with a couple of half empty beer bottles in it.

A Hamburg paper publishes an article on "German shipping with New Zealand,” in which Hie write/ advocates the creation of a direct steamship line ir>nn the Continental ports and the Nonh Sea to New Zealand. In the lint few years, it is admitted, the <o\ n'T.s would have to temain sat idled with a moderate letuni on their capital, but la,er on Hie reward el omerprbe would come, and "as >oon as. the importation ol f logon meat is permitted in Germany and Belgium, which must mine wioa.-r or later, the undertaking will experience ilouri.diing lini'*.” The article rone(udc*: "If a German company does m»t soon make up its mind to establish nidi n line, it is to be ieared (lint one of Hie English companic.' running to .New Zealand will in- 1 elude Hamburg or Antwerp in it* ‘ailing programme.” Dr. Karl Kididi. Hip missionary ex,pl«uer who receitly visited New Zealand. spoke wei. ol Hie Dominion on his M-turn to Sy iney. "dhe vine thing that impressed e.ie.” lie raid, "was the method of the Government m dealing with the problems of the Maori raw. In a generation or two Hie Maoris will have gone up into ihc Anglo-Saxons. To be a .Maori in New Zealand does not mean to la ot a lower caste, tor tin l Maori women are gemle. and Maori men are gentlemen. I’erhaps, as i only had a cursory g.ajiee at the people, my opinions may ci.rry very little weight, hnt I am convinced tint the Maoris are ol the same Aryan parentage as Europeans. The Gr/oeo-Honum and IncloGermanic tribes went, wesi ward, while tin* lon-lathers of the Maori went eastward, mixed with the Mongols., and. to a certain extent, with (he Rolyne.Hans, ami at last arrived at the Britain of the South Seas. In a communication from Pcmiiu, about 100 miles from Shanghai, to n Victorian friend, under date October *JB, the following appears: “The whole country is in sympathy with tin rebels. Pekin is greatly troubled, and is offering money and pardons wholesale to trv to induce soldiers who have joined the rebels to return to loyalty. Mnnelm magistrates and heads of villages and cities are leaving their posts and flying to save their heads. Here is a bit out of to-day’s paper: ‘Some of the shells fired by the Imperialists last Wednesday fell into tile German concession. According lo our informant, who gives MrD-hand evidence, these were in the nature of pom-pom shells, with this difference, that on being picked up they were found to be made of wood. This precisely recalls the story of the Chino,Japanese war. Some great official had evidently found a contractor who was willing to supply wooden shells at the price of steel, and to divide the difference.* ” Splendid tailor-made suits at the Melbourne.
