FROM AUSTRALIA.
Comes News of a Bountiful Wheat
Harvest and Mining Prosneritv.

Vancouver, B. C-,Dec. c.29.-Advices from
Australia brought by the steamer Aor-
ang1 say that the prospects of the Aus
tralian wheat harvest for the season
OF 1899-190O are most favorable. New
South Wales alone will have 5000 600
bushels available for export and the
other colonies viii have proportionately
as good results from their cereal acre
age.
The values of minerals exported from
tasmania during November amounted
10 $oo'OOO, one-third larger than in the
corresponding month last year. New
Zealand's export of gold is 81. OOO. 900
greater than last year.
The premier of New Zealand says
that he is absolutely opposed to his col
Ony joining the Australian federation.
The New Zealand government believes
that the colonies should federate for
defence and for one or two other pur-
poses, but otherwise New Zealand pro-
poses to maintain an individual nation
ality.
Concerning the proposed fast Sc am
ship service to San Francisco and pro-
posed changes in the Australian steam
er service, the premier of New South
Wales has sent the following communi-
cation to the premier of New Zealand:
I informed you on the 18th instant
that this colony would continue the e34,-
for another year subject to parliament
voting the money. Regarding the pro-
posed improved service in view of the
large subsidies now paid to the P. & O.,
Orient and Vancouver services. I am
not disposed at present to commit this
colony to a larger subsidy to the San
Francisco service than now paid

It has, however, always been supposed
that the largesse assigned to him was a.
voluntary one. This idea, has now. ac-
COrding to the decision of court at Chem
nitz, in SaxOny. been shown at the ex-
pense of a certain commercial traveller
who recently visited that town to have
been an Illusion. The man in question re-
mained at Chemnitz for four weeks at a
local hOstelry. performing his mercantile
duties and on leaving handed to the boots
for the usual services rendered by that
functiOnary the sum of four shillings as
a gratuity- The boots demanded twelve
shillings. that is to say, at the rate of
three shillings a week. AS the higher sum
was not paid he Broughtan action against
the traveller. and the court declared that
the latter was to pay ten shillings. The
reasons given for the judgment were that.
although the boots received board and
lodging from the landlord. he was paid
nothing in cash: the other hand, he
had given remuneration in money out of
his own pocket to two assistants who
helped him to do the work of boot-cIean-
