The Hon. W. Hall-Jones formally opened the Makohine Viaduct on Tuesday. The principal distilleries in Scotland are combining to check over-production of whisky. The Duke of Connaught, speaking at the Asiatic Society’s banquet to Indian Princes visiting England for the Coronation, announced that the Prince and Princess of Wales would soon visit India. The Horowhenua County Council has decided to apply for a commission to be appointed to allocate the cost of the proposed bridge over the Manawatu at Shannon, between the v bodies interested, the Foxton Borough and Horowhenua and Manawatu County Councils. The Pretoria plot against Lord Kitchener, in connection with which sixty arrests were made a few days ago, was discovered through an officer understanding Dutch overhearing a plotter while accosting Commandant Beyers in the street. The line of route the Royal procession will take at the coronation is exactly seven miles in length, and is the identical one taken by the late Queen at the Diamond Jubilee in 1897. The police calculated that fully two millions of the King’s subjects will be able to get a good sight. It will tafke 83,000 troops and police to guard the streets. The French Government has purchased the plans of the Berthon submarine boat for iiSooo, and is building twenty of them. An old Scotch minister suddenly gave up his toddy, for the sake of example. The doctor said this change was bad for him, and suggested his taking a dose surreptitiously whenever he sent for his shaving water. _ Some lime after the doctor called again, and the old servant met him with tears in her eyes. “ Oh, doctor, doctor I ” she exclaimed, “the meenister’sgane clean daft, clean daft I He’s sending for his shaving watber frae mornin’ tae nicht I ’’ While a submarine boat was submerged for two hours at Cherbourg, the French naval port in the Channel, three of the crew became unconscious through carbonic acid gas poisoning.

The Manawatu Herald will not be published on Coronation Day.

In another column members of the local volunteer corps will find orders advertised referring to Coronation day. Last week a bcttle was picked up on the beach at Port Waikato, within which was a message from Captain Chatfield, of the Union Steam Ship Company’s steamer Monowai, dated 21st October, 1901. The bottle was one of those send adrift when the steamer’s propeller was lost on a voyage from the Bluff to Hobart last year. Nothing like having everything in keeping. We have now an excellent Post Office, with a good staff, so that it is pleasing to know the Department has sanctioned the erection of a flagstaff, and provided a flag. We are glad to find that the position of a government building minus flags on public holidays, when the general public are urged to demonstrate, has been recognised and rectified. There should be a pleasing ceremony on Coronation Day at the flagstaff, as the schoolchildren, headed by the cadets will march from school and partly down the street and then to the flagstaff, in which the new banner now being painted by Mr Noonan will be used. There the Mayor’s daughter will hoist the New Zealand to the topmast, and the Misses Fraser and Jenks a flag each to the yard arm. God save the King will be sung and a volley fired. By the efforts of certain enthusiasts we lean that the school Cadets will be supplied with A. uniform, comprising blue jerseys, with white lettering} hhd blue caps with White ttoshliS. The Rowing Clubs’ boatsbed though bravely withstanding the assault of the flood on its walls, bad partially to succumb t t o t' ne undermining of its romidaliona and the floor resembles the roll of the ocean rather than that of a billiard table. The Coronation committee held a meeting on Thursday afternoon and much business was transacted part of which will be gathered by advertisements elsewhere. A detailed programme will be issued prior tothe dhy* The Wairarapa Daily Times mentions that all species of trout are early in spawning this year. It may be of interest to note that a few whitebait were caught by the wharf nearly a fortnight ago* Mr Andrew Jonson has the flagstaff erected and rigged, and the Way thfl work has been done Staittps Mr Jonson as a thorough sea dog. The flagstaff js a distinct acquisition to the town. Flagstaffs here, there, and everywhere. Mr J. Collins who ornamented the Herald office with a flagstaff has had orders pouring upon him and at present the staffs have been Fitted bn the office of the Racing Club, two on Messrs Hennessy’s premises, one on Mr E. Osborne’s and Mr Walker’s with others to follow. He has also been entrusted with the order for one for the Post Office* Amongst the proposals which the Manawatu A. and P. Association will lay before the New Zealand Agricultural Conference at Dunedin will be the following (i) That the Government be urged to establish an agricultural college, where veterinary students could attend classes and receive diplomas; (2) that it is desirable that the Minister of Railways be approached with a view of getting drain-pipes put on the same basis as lime as to freight; (3) that stock entered for exhibition at an agricultural show, and reconsigned from show to show, and returned to the original station within a month from the last show at which it is exhibited, should be entitled to the existing concessions with regard to railway tariff; (4) that it is desirable that the various agricultural associations should combine and publish a weekly paper; (5) that the conference views with dismay the great number of hereditary unsound entires propagating their defects in the colony; (6) that technical and agricultural classes be encouraged, and it is suggested that these should be in the hands of grouped counties, as in England: (7) that the Imperial Government be approached with the object of appointing a buyer of cavalry horses to attend the various shows and act as judge, such officer to class all exhibits according to their suitability for army purposes.

A violent earthquake has occurred at Manila. Shocks have also been felt at the town of Oloron, in the south of France.

The previous rate four guineas.

The Nationalist members of the House of Commons have resolved, “ owing to the misgovernment of Ire land," not to participate in the Coronation celebrations. They will meet in Dublin on the 26th to consider the condition of Ireland.

An exciting fight occurred at the Adelaide Zoological Gardens between a tiger and a lioness. The former seized the latter by the throat, severing the windpipe, and inflicting terrible injuries. The strength of the tiger may be gauged by the fact that be threw the lioness right over his back, The fight lasted for twenty minutes. The lioness is dead.

! We understand that Mr Hamer’s ' idea of forming a Governmcnt_Cadet Corps is likely to bear fruit, as he informs ns that he is only a very few short of the number required, arid those who are willing to join should give in their names and ages at once. This must not be confounded with the school cadets, as it is really a junior volunteer corps under much the same restrictions and rules as the adult corps. The age limit is t4to t 8 years, and members can transfer to the senior corps without break of service. The Government find arms and supply 50 rounds of ammunition for each member every yean We are pleased to hear that the tickets for the complimentary dance to Mrs W. Cook are going off rapidly.

A correspondent of the Hawke’s Bay Herald states that after the floods of 1897 the method adopted by Mr Powdrell, of Meanee, proved the ohly means of getting the silt put intd grass without the loss of the season. Grass seed was taken by men wading through the wet silt whilst it was quite fluid and sown broadcast; This seed did well, and made a good paddock that summer. Any. farmers who delayed and endeavoured to so\V later lost the son, and had.to Undergo a second winter of starvation. One of the most touching _ scenes witnessed in Westport during the Peace Thanksgiving (says the Buffer Miner) was the spectacle of a boy of fourteen being wheeled llonle drunk at midday by his youthful comrades, with a little Union Jack floating at the forepeak of the barrow til Mf BiiSkreli’s advertisement mention is made of some of the “ plums ” at his great clearing sale. We do not doubt but that our readers will carefully scan the lines; file King's improvement, is fully maintained/and his iVlajesiy is leaping the benefit of rest, but in anticipation of the severe strain of the coronation festivities he had been advised to forego all public arrangements for the next few days; Idle ordinary meeting of Court Pride of FoXtonj AiO.Fi, will be held at 8 o’clock p.m. on tuegday next at the 1.0.G.T. Lodge-room. Last night at Mrs Cook’s dance at the Hall, a very nice and kindly act was done by some of the young ladies, who without saying anything gave Mrs Cook a selection of dance music, to take the,place of that lost by her dis* Usti’oUs lire.

SANDIid ana SON> BUG '.LPYTi EXt TRACT.

According to reports of a great number of physicians of ihe higbtest professional standing, there are offered Kucalpyti Ex tracts which possess no curative qualities. In protection of the world wide fame of Sanders and Sons preparation we publish a few abstracts from these reports, which bear fully out that no reliance can be placed in other products Dr. W. B Rush, Oakland F a., writes It is sometimes difficult to obiain the genuine article (Sander and Sous). 1 employed dilleri-ni other preparations: they had no therapeutic value and uo effects.

The fir t symptom is hoarseness; this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recognised and will never be for gotten by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the oronpy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There ii no danger in giving this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It a’ways euros and cures quickly. W.
