Vancouver, B. c., Sept. S-The steam

| tralia
A Tasmania paper says New Zealand
desires to cooperate with Great Brit
am canada, New South Wales, Victo-
ria ana Queensland in raising the CAPT.
tai required for the Pacific cable
The Maori race in New Zealand is fast
dying out. At diocesan synod in
Wellington, clergymen of the Taranki
| district who appealed strongly for as
sistance in the work among the Maoris,
| gave a sad description of the state of
| things prevailing in many places.
Drunkenness, immoralitv and sloth are
! the chief enemies of the race. Accord
| ing to the last census returns. in April
| 1895. the number of Maoris was 39,S54
| and it was calculated that during the
| previous five years there had been an
| apparent decrease of 2, 1889.
A boat crew of the steamer Victoria
| had an exciting time with natives of
the New Hebrides. Captain Williams
| arrived at one of the islands week
| after recruiting vessel had shot a ma
| tive. The natives enticed the boats
| crew up a creek and then fired on them
in revenge. Fortunately only one man
| was wounded
Mr.. Fonron, the home secretary OF
| Queensland, has been inquiring into the
| pearling industry. He finds that seri-
Gus abuses exist regarding the recruit
| ing of natives and also in the treat
ment Of native women. The recruiters
| offending are very often Manila men
| owning luggers. The women are taken
away in boats, the owners alleging that
I they are with their husbands.
| The sloop Ketchannie was lost in al
| storm off the Tasmania coast. Her
crew were all drowned. The crew con-
| sisted of four.
A terrible accident is reported from
! Fort Mahonga, Just outside yelling
| ton, N. z. Some members of the local
torpedo corps were detailed to remove
an old electric lighting plant. 1t was
found necessary to explode big charge
| of gun cotton. The sapping party. con-
sistng of Sergeant Olive, Corporal
Black and Seppers league and Head
| set the mine and had just lit the fuse
| when the charge prematurely exploded.
The force of the explosion was terrific.
| When the smoke and dust cleared away
it was found that the little sappipg
party had ben practically annihilated,
| Sergeant oliver, Corporal Black and
| Sapper league were blown to pieces.
| Sapper Head was seriously injured.
| This is the second accident of the
| kind. Two torpedo men were killed and
three injured in similar explosion of
gun cotton at Shelly bay barracks in
1891.
| Owing chiefly to the increase Of dredg-
ing the new seal and gold output for
the first seven months of the year ex-
| ceeded by E252,507 that Of the corre-
spending period of 1898.
