YESTERDAY’S CABLES.

United Press Association —Copyright The executive oi the English independent Labor Party lias 1 ailed to devise a scheme l'or bringing the metropolitan labor organisations together into a labor party, owing toserious differences between the positions of the Labor movement in London ami the provinces. . .Mr. G. Havelock Wilson, M.P., interviewed. declared that the- Australian Navigation 'Bill quite represents the spirit of the resolutions of the Navigation Conference. He considers the complaints of British shipowners, cabled to Australia- through Lord Elgin, are untenable. . . Tho education defence authorities in each colony are entitled conjointly to enter one team of eight schoolboys to compete annually for Lord Roberts’ trophy for the British imperial schoolboy competition, which is fired locally between January and August. If tlie colonies send two boys to Bislev to compete for the Lady Gwendoline Guineas, ail Imperial trophy for individual schoolboy marksmen, tlie secretary of the Lord Roberts trophy fund will provide hospitality. Munitions of war sufficient lor five years are being sent to the Philippines, together with torpedoes and mines for tho protection of Manila and Subig Bay. Receivers have been appointed for the Cliicago-Milwaukeo electric railroad and allied corporations, representing a capital of six millions sterling. . . Air. Deakin has not yet received a reply to the cablegram sent to the Admiralty nearly a month ago. urging it to reconsider its rejection ot the arrangement lie proposed .should he substituted for the naval agreement. The. Litligow ironworks (N.S.YY.) re-start to-day under the new management. The births and deaths ol the Sydney metropolitan area for the past year are both over 5 per cent, higfior than the average for the picviojelive years. The increase in deaths is due chiefly to an epidemic of w hooping cough and measles. The source of the plague outbreak in 'Sydney has been trued to Marriekville. Wharf laborers at Newcastle, disregarding (lie Arbitration Court aw°aid. have struck for higher wages. A number of vessels are delayed. The Queensland revenue for the half-year is £500,279. an increase ol £55.100. . ...... Tiie railway revenue in South Australia for the half-year increased £150,000. The South Australian I reasurer states he will not be surprised : i more of the ioan was not converteo ill London. Tho otter ot 3-1 per cent, stock at £9B 10s. instead of I per cent., would not be sufficiently tempting in the present state of the London market. in any ease lie hid sulUcii-nt in hand to meet a I airly large proportion ot the loan ol £1 .- 400.000 falling due in July. Distributing the AVcst Australian Rilli* Association's prizes, the State Commandant urged the importance of rifle shooting. Australia had deliberately put up her lists t;> tin Asiatic races, hut how were they sroing to keen tlie alien out if lie wanted to'conio in’ unless riflemen were ready to join the citizen soldiery? They did nut know what was going to happen to the country during the next 10 years.
