Rapid for New Zealand. • M klboutine, This Dny The Melbourne Trades and Labonr Council is sending through Mr John Burns, M.P., a protest against the Imperial authorities subsidising mail steamers employing coolie labour. The premises of Messrs Tibbet Bruce and Fecknalc, importers, caught fire last night and before the flames were extinguished damage to the amount of .4*5,000 resulted. The firm is insured to the extent of .4-7 ,2f>0, of which .£2,780 is in the South British office. HOBABT, Aprl' 13 The following is the personnel of the new Ministry : — Premier (without any special portfolio), Sir E. C. N. Braddon ; Colonial Treasurer, Mr P. C. Fysh ; Attorney-General ; Mr A. I. Clark ; Minister of Lands and Works, Mr A. T. Pilliuger: Minister (without portfolio), Mr Reibey. The Ministry is regarded as the strongest combination that has held office in Tasmania for years. Sir E. Braddon'9 surrender of a portfolio greatly strengthens his position. The proposals of the new Government will probably include an increase of the present land tax from Ad to Jd, the imposition of an income tax, and a scheme of retrenchment to obviate increase in the Customs duties.
