GENERAL TELEGRAMS

THE HENRY MISSION. j By Telegraph.—Press Association. Inrercargill, Last Night. I The mission conducted here during the past fortnight by Dr. Henry and Mr. Farquhar closed on Sunday night, and to-day a farewell luncheon was ten-l dered the missioners before they left by the Melbourne steamer. Dr. Henry said he thought the people of Invercargill had been harder to reach than those of any other town.

At the close of the lecture, the following resolution was carried: "That Imperial Federation would be in the best interests of the Empire." BANKRUPT ARRESTED. Gisborne, Monday. W. McMurray, a bankrupt, who was arrested in Hamilton after a resolution of his creditors, was brought before the Registrar of the Supreme Court to-day. The amount of his indebtedness was about £250.

The debtor said that he was unable to obtain sureties, and the Registrar said that as the debtor had already gone he would have to insist on sound sureties. He stipulated sureties at two of £75 each. i CONSTABLE'S RESIGNATION. Wellington, Monday. Constable Glynn, recently convicted of assault, has resigned from the force.
