“Although some bitter complaints are made here about the falling off in me tourist traffic, New Zealand has no special cause for complaint, as the present conditions are world wide,” said Air J. L. Wheeler, who is managing a tour of 11 Americans through •the Dominion, when interviewed. “There is practically no tourist travel at present, or rather, it is only a fraction of what it has been. Of eleven tourist cruises which have been running each year only four are now left, and one of the boats concerned, the Alalolo, is carrying only half her capacity.” An inquest which was opened on the 7th December last, touching the cteat.li of an infant female child, was concluded at the Court House yesterday before Mr I>. J. Evans, District Unrulier. Tim evidence taken previously was supplemented by further statements by Dr Hopkins, Sergeant King, the mother of the child, and Airs AI. Reid. The verdict was in accordance with the medical evidence that the cause of death was haemorrhage from the umbilical cord. Sergeant King stated lie was present at the post mortem, and the Doctor had satisfied him ais to the cause of death, demonstrating the tests of the various organs. A meeting of coal-mine owners was held in Wellington on Wednesday to consider certain aspects ol the rationing of work, not as a general principle, as it is probable that each mine will act independently in this respect, hut to confer regarding certain features ol the case ol the Blackball mine. The Blackball mine lias been idle for several weeks, because of the reduction of hands on account of the reduced output. The men have demanded a sharing of the \/brk on their own terms, and it. was this matter which was chiefly discussed yesteubu. ft is possible that a conference "'ill he held on Monday next between rerepresentatives of the mines and the Blackball Company to consider the question.
