ACTING-PREMIER AND SHIPPING COMBINE. By Telegraph—Press Association. Nelson, last night. At a meeting to-night it wa3 agreed to guarantee £IOO to secure the visit of the amateur English cricketers. SpeakiDg at Motueka last night, Sir J. Ward said there were many things happening abroad that were exercising intelligent minds at this time, because of their probable effect on the 'eolony. He- especially alluded to the Amerioan-Anglo shipping combine, which could not be a matter of indifference. He could not but look with concern at the enormous tonnage represented by the combine being controlled from New York. Unless watched, the combine would force up freights. That touched the settlers, the backbone of the country.
