The Appointments From Scotland Yard. (Per Press Association) i Wellington, Sept. 6. When the announcement was mads of the appointment of ex-Inspector Ton* bridge, of Scotland Yard, and two detectives, to the Police Department in New Zealand, it was stated that snch apf (ointments were made with the knowedge and by members of the Cabinet at present in the colony. Such was the case, and the Hen. T. Thompson, Minister for Justice, declares that early in the year the New Zealand Government discussed the advisability iof securing more up- to date advisers for the police, and when Mr Seddon at tended the Premiers' Conference in Victoria he was on the look out for suitable men, but was unable to find any. He completed negotiations on bis arrival ia London. ______^____ A Scottish Bill of Fare. The Times of India prints the bill of fare uf the dinner which was given in Bombay in celebration of St. Andrew's Festival, under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Scottish Freemasonry in India.

The Federal Convention. . — . « — (Per Press Association) Sydnky, Sept. 6. The Convention this morning went into committee and decided to take the clauses relating to finance into consideration. Mr McMillan (New South Wales), although a Freetrader, recognised that New South Wales must give up Freetrade ia order that a workable financial scheme could be devised. He was willing to leave such a scheme to the Federal Parliament. He hoped Mr Reid would agree with this. Mr Reid interjected : " I certainly do not." Mr Barton (New South Wales), moving to report progress, said be noticed a distinct advance in the Federal feeling in tho present debate and a keen onder* standing of the criticisms advanced in the interim between the two Conventions. After the present week the Convention will sit in the evenings. Mr McMillan said he was of opin ion that they ought simply to propose some plan such as was in the present Bill for guaranteeing for the first 5 years a certain amount which would provide against the dislocation of the provincial finances. Then, as to the matter of debt, and the matter of railways, they ought to leave them absolutely in the hands of the Federal Parliament. Mr A. Deakin (Victoria) thought it was essential to the full and perfect government of these colonies that such enormous agencies as the railways should be taken over by the Federation. " In the adversity of our best friends we often find something which does not displease us." One of tho maxims, this, of that old cynic De Rochefoucauld. Burke in his " The Sublime and Beautiful " utters a similar sentiment, yet, if it be true, it is also a fact that real worth is always accorded recognition. No more striking proof of this is there than in the premier position held to day by Walker's Whisky — Always the same— Always tho best — Advt. The wife of Mr D. Robinson, a prominent lumberman of Hartwick, N.Y., was sick with rheumatism for five months. In speaking of it, Mr Robinson says : "Chamberlain's Pain Balm is the only thing that gave her any rest from pain. For the relief of pain it cannot be beat." Many very bad cases of rheumatism have been cured by it. For sale by the Farmers' Co-op Association, Feilding.
