Speaking in the House of Commons, Mr Balfour, First Lord of the Treasury stated that the Government was con-\ sidering the giving of monetary assistance to sufferers at Martinique, though there was ho precedents for such a step.

The British misson to the Lake Tchad district, in Central Africa, peacefully occupied the town of Bautshi. The mission defeated and captured a notorious freebooter named Gibrilla, who was usurping the position of ruler of the lower Bornu, and appointed a British Resident. A French garrison has occupied the town ot Dikoa, south of Lake Tchad, which is said fo be German territory. At the last meeting of the Wanganui Presbytery, a letter was read from Mr A. Honore, forwarding a commnnion service and baptismal font in use by his late father for the use of the Maori Mission. It was resolved to thank Mr Honore for his gift. The Rev. J. Doull also reported that he had a cup and plate which were used by the late Mr Honore. The former, it was decided should be sent to Mr Fletcher, at Taumaranui.

A woman servant who was employed at St Pierre, says that a loud report was heard in the town on the Bth instWhen she recovered she found her. self horribly burned. She saw two members of the family with whom she lived alive, but they died before aid arrived.

Toms, Rangitikei County Inspector, together with Messrs Mitchell, Overseer for the Manawatu County, and Bray, of the Manchester Board, submitted' lengthy reports to the Council on the state of the Rongotea ■oad and the general damage done to it owing to the extraordinary heavy raffle caused by the traction engine, fhe distance of the bad portion of the road was 3$- miles, and the damage was estimated at something like £SOO. i£ighl cubic yards of metal per chain :*xtra would be required on the road if heavy traffic continued, the road would also require considerably more attention than a road which was used for ordinary traffic. A national subscription is proposed in France for the Martinique sufferers. Sir E Mouson, British Ambassador at Paris, has informed M. Delcasse, Minister For Foreign Affairs, that all British resources and ships in the vicinity of Martinique are placed at the disposal of France. Since 1895 the State schools in the Wanganui Education district have increased from 106 to 141 in igor, ■fudging the future by the past, the Inspectors anticipate an increase with each succeeding year.

Yesterday a peculiar blast of wind lasting about a quarter of an hour struck the town between the Ferry hill and the Scotch kirk. Apparently the effects were not felt elsewhere. The wind burst open the doors of the boatshed and blew the iron off the roof, landing it in Mr Laing’s paddock and some pieces right up to the Mainstreet. One or two of the front windows of the Post Office Office were blown in. Mr E. Osborne has got one side of his shop windows in of plate glass, and it foreshadows a great improvement when the whole front is finished.

Cheerful man is Dr. Levinge as he writes to the N.Z. Times. “It seems the “ shake ” at Martinique agitated New Zealand and precipitated something that was impending here. Two earthquakes occurring simultaneously at. opposited sides of the world are probah'y connected. I have been through the We-t Indies, and noted that iiriit of them are volcanic, with extinct craters, hot springs and a pitch lake (Trinidad). We are similarly situated, and may expect like results.
