[per press agency.] Railways in Otago. Dunedin, August 14. Several men who were provided with free passes for works at Balclutha have tramped back to town. - Others are going about the township idle, refusing to accept the wages offered to them. Mr Blair, District Engineer, concludes his report on the railway routes as follows :—“ If it is the intention of the Government to take steps towards constructing a railway into the interior of Otago, I have no hesitation in recommending,the Strathtaieri line as emphatically the shortest and easiest route, that will in its course open up most good country for settlement. I may also add that I believe there is every chance of a railway in this direction being directly remunerative in a very short time.” A meeting of Licensed Victuallers and others will be held to-night to consider the Local Option Bill. The Ohau Murderer not Arrested. Wellington, August 14. Senior Constable Green has returned from Sydney, whither he had been sent to identify a man apprehended by the Sydney police on suspicion that he was Cunningham, accused of the Ohau murder. Green says the man is not Cunningham.
