WELLINGTON ITEMS.
[From Our Correspondent.] WELLINGTON, June 16. The new system, of inspection in connection with the public schools of the colony is at present, I understand, only in embryo, and in any case cannot be brought into operation for some time. The Premier left for- Wood ville this morning to deliver a political address in response to a. requisition by the Mayor and citizens. ' The question bf the 'appointment of ".Mr Cooms, Inspecting Engineer of New Zea-hmd-sßaiiways, as successor tb Mr Lowe; Engineer-i n-Chief, . is. not yefc- definitely settled, pending Cabinet approval, bub little doubt is entertained in well-informed official circles that the appointment will follow the recommendation of the Minister. \ Mr Ruddick, Government Dairy Commissioner, after his return from Canterbury will commence a series of scientific lectures on butter and cheese-making in all the main ; centres of population in the country. I learu on trustworthy authority that j though Ihe appointment, of additional Jus- \ tiees of the Peace has been practically de- j cided upon their names will not be publicly , announced for the present. _ ! The ' Agricultural Department has ar- • ranged for a rigorous. inspection of all tho vineries in the Wellington , district, with a ; view to the detection of phylloxera. i On the return of the Hinemoa the Marine J Department will hold an inquiry into the | allegations made recently by a deputation representing the Federated Seamen's Union j of New Zealand to the Minister of Marine, I to Ihe effect that the landing at Cape : Maria Van Diemen is so dangerous that, en one occasion, some' of the Hinemoa' s crew refused to land goods, and only did so on the urgent request of Captain Bollons, who . desired to speak to the light- , house-keeper.
