head man, Otto Bauer, who had apparently been fretting and was looking a , bit white. "My point of view," continued Mr Hatch, " is that the Government lias made a mess of the whole darned business. I was willing to pay the Government to send the Tutanekai to bring off the men and the oil/ thatis, to pay a reasonable amount. They would not say definitely what they wanted, and Mr Millar afterwards talked about £7OO, whicli was absurd. Tlio thing has cost me about £SOO as it ivs. The season was over for the time being. When the Jessie Nicoll came back in February the captain went to another job and I had to get the vessel repaired.' When I approached the Government they always reserved the right not to bring off the oil, and that was no good to me." Mr Hatch stated that it was his present intention to put the matter before the public from the platform. The papers had " kicked up such a row," he had been so blackguarded, and such insinuations had been made, that he thought this was the best way he could put the whole case before them and answer any questions, and the people could then see who was right and who was wrong. The difficulty was that a great many of the things said in the newspapers were the "darndest lies,' and though people seemed to take an interest, when it came to the point they did not caro to hear the truth. Speaking as to the conditions on Macquarie Island, Mr Hatch said that people appeared to think that it was a hare rock in the sea. It was really twenty-five miles long, and five or six miles across, and contained about 25,000 acres. The men had any amount of fuel. They used for warming purposes'the timbers of the old sailing ship Gratitude, which had been wrecked there some five or six years ago, and they had coal for cooking. There was any amount of animal food. There were some rabbits, though these were about, done now, but sea elephants were plentiful, and their tongues were used for food. Penguins, too, were there iii -abundance, also there Avers Maori hens, though these were now"-"be-coming scarce. All over the island there was a store of vegetable food with broad, cucumber-like leaves, which the men boiled for eating, and which they called Maori cabbage. In conclusion, Mr Hatch said that he did not know when the next party would go to the island, though in conversing further on the matter he suggested that the Jessie Nioo-1, would probably sail in about a month. He anticipated no difficulty in getting men. There never was, he .said, any difficulty * in that respect. The trouble was mostly with the ships. He had now at the island about 600 casks of oil ready for shipment. DOMINION FINANCE, [Pi;r Piiess Association.] WELLINGTON, July 28.

Frootoids are the proper aperient madir cine to take when any Congestion ol' Blood Poison is present, or when Congestion of the Brain or Appoplexy is present or threatening. They have been tested, and have b«en proved to afford quick relief in such cases when other aperients have not done any good at al«. Frootoids act splendidly on the livers A dose taken at bed-time, once a week, if highly beneficial.
