’ LORD JELLTCOE AT AKAROA. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. Lord Jellicoe paid a visit to Akaroa to-day, and laid the foundation stone of the Banks Peninsula Soldiers’ Mem orial, a gothic arch, surmounted by a column with a cross.

PARALYSIS AMONG BEES. Wellington, Last Night. The apiary division of the Department of Agriculture has received information of a rather more serious outbreak than usual of paralysis amongst bees in the Taranaki district. This is not regarded as a serious malady, but the present outbreak appears to be of a more virulent type than has occurred elsewhere, and prompt measures have been taken to deal with it. MINERS AND “BACK” SATURDAY WORK.” Greymouth, Last Night. The West Coast miners are seeking hours of adjustment for “back” Saturday work, the saine as were recently arranged for the State miners. Possibly no “back” Saturday work will be done till the old short shift under the national agreement is again instituted. SYMPATHY WITH DR. LISTON. Greymouth, Last Night. The Greymouth branch of the Hibernian Society, at a largely attended meeting to-night, unanimously resolved that the society desires to express its loyalty and devotion to Bishop Liston, and its sympathy with him in the bitter attacks that have been made on him and in the misrepresentation to which he has been subjected, and desires also to assure Dr. Liston of its cordial support.
