Wednesday 4th February 1891.

The Colonial Council held a meeting
on Monday, at which His Excellency the
Governor was present.
The chief business was the introduction Of
and first discussion on the Budget for 1891
80. His Excellency the Governor introduced
the Budget with a few remarks, chiefly
pointing out, In regard to the stimated IN
m that there was a decrease, owing to
the necessity Of estimating the export duty
at a low amount on account of the poor crop
prospects. Government had considered that
there was a probability of making only half
of an average crop and had therefore put it
down at 5000 hogsheads. The other items
Of revenue had been calculated on the aver
age of the preceding years, and as 1889 was
a very good year and gave q much higher
revenue than usual, it might be found that
the estimates on these items were rather too
high, In regard to the expenditure His
Fxcellency then called attention to two
tens that were slightly increased and to
araral others in which there had been a
rs-5 elton. He also stated that there was a
tl 55f3re the Diet for altering the Colonial
w similar to the draft which was laid be-
lore the Council last year, only hat the
revenues allotted to the municipality were
Increased by the tax on sugar production.
The likelihood of passing it in its present
form was nop greab UHo pIosPe0U "'n1 "~S
th..s if finally adopted it would not be SO
favourable to the. colony as the original Draft,
but the future would show.
Mr.. Hewitt, 10 % speech of some length,
PROPOSED not to vote for the Budget, but
TO appoint 8 Committee to go through
It and see. where ~retrenchments could
be made, and subsequently, to petition His
Majesty the King to appoint a Commission to
consider the whole question.
CAPTAIN Blackwood supported the propo-
ga. which, after some discussion, was carried
by SIX votes, five members declining to vote
either for or against.
Further discussion on the Budget was post
poned. until after the Committee have given
ia their report.
As Members Of the said Committee were
elected Messrs. Creagh, Blackwood, Brown,

have, on the whole, discharged their duties in
a satisfactory manner
During the first half of 1890 there was
much sickness among the children. An cpl
denlic of measles prevailed from the begin
ming of the year till the month of April, now
in one di ,trict now in another, and greatly re-
duced the daily attendance at the schools.
This epidemic was followed in May and June
by a wide spread fever, which also had a bad
effect on the attendance. In the course of
the year there were 81 deaths among the
children, attending the public schools, against
10 deaths in 1899. From the above taiile it
will be seen that there is q reduction of 400
in the average daily attendance at the schools
as compared with the attendance in the pre-
viou8 year, and THAT this reduction has taken
place in al the schools with the exception of
Peters Rest School, where the attendance has
been a little better, and of La Princesse
School, whore the attendance has been unu-
sually good in the past year. That this fall
ing off in the attendance must in the main be
ascribed to the above mentioned prevalent
sicknesses, is clear when we compare the at
tendancei in the several schools inthe latter half
of1890 with the attendance in the latter half
of 1889, as in the following table, from which
it will be seen that the attendance in that part
of the year 1890 in which the above mention
ed disturbing influences were not present was
q triAe better than in the corresponding part
Of 1899. 1t must be observed, however, that
the epidemic Of measles had already COM
nenced in the district of Peters Rest School
at the close OF AS89, OH which account the
figure for Peters Rest School in that year
is rather low.

LONDON, May 23.-A dispatch received
from Lourenze, a Portuguese town of
Africa, on the north side of Delagoa bay,
says that the British torpedo cruiser Brick,
Commander Alfred L. Winsloe, has ar
rived, and reports that serious conflict has
taken place between the British and Portu-
guese colonies. Commander Winsloe says
that the troops stationed at the Portuguese
military post of the River Pungwe have
attacked the British South Africa Com
pany's expedition, commanded by Com
missioner II. H. Johnston. Seven Portu-
guese were killed. The British loss is un-
known.

was at Beira that in April the Portuguese
authorities seized the British mail sacks
and refused to allow them to be carried to
their destination. These mails were in
tended for the British colonists in Ma
shonaland. The British colonists were in
dignant at this high-handed proceeding and
complained to the British Government
about it.
When Colonel Willoughby's expedition
reached Beira the Colonel applied for per-
mission to proceed to the Pungwe river in
order to pay the prescribed duties, but, re-
eeiving no answer after As hours, he started
without permission and the Portuguese
opened fire upon his expedition and seized
the two steamers which composed it. The
Portuguese also seized the mails and pro-
visions and imprisoned 16 members Of the
expedition. Colonel Willoughby en-
deavored to secure the release of his vessels
by the payment of the usual customs duties,
but the Portuguese officials who seized the
boatsl refused to accept this payment, and,
ordering the British flag hauled down,
hoisted the Portuguese flag in its place. The
Portuguese declare that the British are ex-
cluded from the Pungwe river, which

eating when seized.

CBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.l
LONDON, May 23.-The panic among
British manufacturers, as they begin to feel
the operation of the new tariff in the United
States has spread to Sheffield, where it has
taken the place of the influenza epidemic in
the popular mind. It has been discovered
quite suddenly that the value of cutlery
sent to the United States from Sheffield,
which for 10 years past has averaged s22, 900
annually, has fallen off during the
present year to $1,000. At meeting. held
last evening in the afflicted town the speak
ers told the workingmen, who mainly COM
posed it, that they must starve if fresh
markets could not be found and developed,
and their hearers could only groan assent
to the proposition painfully se1f-eyident.
Howard Vincent, who was present, i'm
proved the mournful occasion to boom his
United Empire Trade League. Every
Yorkshire man, he said, had suffered griev-
ously through injurious tariffs and prohib-
tive duties imposed by foreign States, and
if they wanted to see better times they
ought to join this league. AS the argument
had personal application to those present,

CBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.l
LONDON, May 23.-Dispatches from Aus
tralia indicate that the much-boomed COM
monwealth scheme has stormy time before
it, although the New South Wales Legisla-
ture has taken the lead in declaring in its
favor Inter-colonial jealousies are already
making themselves felt, and the personal
rivalries of statesmen also threaten
trouble. In Western Australia there
is a growing suspicion that the COM
monwealth, even if it should become a
reality, will be. dominated by New South
Wales and Victoria, and the two last-named
colonies evidently distrust one another
New Zealand, ''the England of the An

interests are distinct from her neighbors
Queensland is still in the throes of sepa-
ratist agitation, and even little Tasmania is
beginning to think that its destiny can best
be worked out alone.
Altogether, it is by no means improbable
that if the commonwealth scheme be sub
mitted to popular vote it will be rejected in
every colony, except perhaps New South
Wales, where Sir Henry Parke's immense
influence and popularity may carry it
through.

tBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON, May 23-The man who for
years past has made living, more or less
honest and variable in its fatness, by rails
ing war cries has turned in despair from the
persistently peaceful and well-armed
European continent to this country, which,
it seems, is in imminent danger of being
eaten up by the first warlike neighbor
whose appetite shall incline to an English
diet. The facts are simple and the man
has set them forth artistically in
the sympathetic and ample columns of the
81. James Gazette, the organ of militant Tory
ism. England is supposed to have what is
proudly termed ''the first army corps," I"
composed of $4,000 men, infantry, cavalry,
artillery and transports, well armed and
equipped and ready to 60 anywhere and do
anything, but the man has discovered that
this force exists largely on paper, the best
men being Systematically drafted to India
battalions, which should each be 1000
strong, but can muster only 600 and the
average age of the men is under 20.
Some cavalry regiments have only $50
horses instead of 600. The. mounted in
fantry have no horses at all to mount, and
the man knows of a transport company
with 81 horses instead of $50 "Where,"
he walls, "are the horses? In the omni-
buses and cabs of the metropolis. The
greatest empire in the world; the greatest
horse-breeding nation in Europe, mounts its
cavalry on cab horses and harnesses to its
guns the homely bus horse. Where are
the mounted infantry ponies and cobs?
There are not any, and never will be till
war is actually declared" The unhappy
man demands "30, 900 men, veteran soldiers
of physique and stamina, umattainable in a
short-service army; 10000 men in the ranks
and parade, not &c, 900 men on the docket in
some staff officers pigeon-hole.
"Let money be almost squandered, but in
return see that you get a first army corps
before which the crack army corps of Europe
will grow pale with fear and envy" This
man might as we'll cry for the money until
war shall have justified his facts and
clinched his arguments The average
Englishman of every political line thinks
he payu enough already for the army and
obstinately refuses to recognize that which
is plain to the unprejudiced investigator,
that the grossest mismanagement and job
berry prevails at the War Office; that much
of the money annually voted by Parliament
is wasted upon highly paid horde of civil
ians in that department, and that if the
millions now provided, if wisely spent,
would more than furnish the perfect force
demanded by the critics.

of Wales viii be settled at a family
council which will be held at Windsor
Castle 1t has hitherto been feared that
the Duke of Clarence would never be well
enough to admit of his entering lthe mar

imperative to arrange a match for his
brother, Prince George.
The Prince of Wales himself has ND to
the present time strongly objected to his
sons being forced into marrying German
Princesses, as His Highness is well aware
that such alliances would seriously impair
his own popularity, as the nation
at large does not take kindly to
these foreign matches. 1t is believed to
be probable that his objections on this
score will be oyerruled by the pressure
which wiz be brought to bear on him by
his mother and his imperial nephew. He
