Great Britain and the European Powers are endeavouring to arrange for an International Conference to deal with the Anarchists. Colonel Saunderson addressed a meeting of 20,000 Ulstermen at Lurgan, and was received with great enthusiasm. A resolution was passed by those present declaring that they would never submit to Home Rule. Mr T- Shaw, who succeeds Mr Asher as Solicitor-General for Southland, has been re-elected for Hawick Burghs by a majority of 647. .Mr Huddart has secured the cooperation of the Grand Trunk and Pacific Railway companies in support of his Atlantic service, London financiers are convinced that the scheme will be manifestly floated. Five of the best shipyards have offered to build veasels. The Tower Bridge has been completed. The owners of the Salford Ironworks are so satisfied with the result of the year's experiment upon the eight hours system that they intend to make it permanent. The Tivnes urges that the whole of the engineering and other skilled trades should follow the example. It is expected that Sir George Grey will have an audience with the Queen when he arrives in England. Mr Weddel's friends in Hamburg have opened retail shops for the sale of frozen meat, and are doing a satisfactory trade. Mr Weddel shortly revisits Germany, with a view of opening additional shops. Certificates forwarded by the German. Consuls in Australia a3 to the soundness of the flocks will facilitate business. It is probable that the Turakina will discharge her cargo at Hamburg, and that the vessel will then be used as a cool store. The Tainui's and Nairnshire's factory butter realised 963 to 100s. The Nairnshire's mutton arrived in sound condition.
