MR. MILLAR AND THE PREMIERSHIP. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Saturday. The Hon. J. A, Millar desires the following correction to be made in the report of his speech wired from Dunedin on Wednesday:—"ln the report of my speech, in that portion dealing with railways, 1 am made to say that the railways did not pay. I never made any such statement, and reports in the Otago Daily Times and Star will verify this. I have repeatedly, in both Parliament and in country, said the railways had now reached paying-point, and the Railways Statement makes this very dear. What I did say was that if the railways did not pay, any deficiency would have to be paid out of the Consolidated Fund. I shall be obliged if you will make the necessary correction.""
