A Damaging Statement.
(Per Press Association.) London April 29. Under date March 16, Hon. Kingston, Premier of South Australia, published a letter to the effect that a certain ex-mem-ber of the House of Commons had called on him in Adelaide respecting the establishment of a Company to work a large area of the country in the Northern Territory, and has made certain pecuniary overtures to him ; further, that, he had shown the ex-member the door and wrote to the Earl of Kintore, from whom the visitor brought a letter ot introduction, explaining the matter, and had also written to the Agent-General if be bad the hardihood to call on him to kick him out. Mr Hugh Watt, ex-member for Gamlachie, Glasgow, who apparently takes the letter as a reflection upon himself, describes the letter as an electioneering dodge and contrary to fact. He intimates that he will reply In extenso by mail.
