Trott sacrificed himself for the Captain when run out, and his loss was poignantly felt when six wickets fell for 124, as up to that time he had played Richardson with marvellous confidence, and but for this disaster the bowling would probably have been collared, Giffen batted 2i hours in his usual masterly style.

Melbourne, January 12, The Cabinet has considered the rejection of the Land Tax Bill, and it is believed the Government for the present will abandon the proposal contained therein, and cast about the many proposals made by members of both Houses for a suitablescheme, for balancing the national ledger. Meat export (Received Jan. 12,10,15 a.m.) Melbourne, Jan. 12, Some time ago a number of wheat producers in this Colony despatched a delegate to the United States to gather information as to the wheat Dxpoti trade and cognate matter.and have just received a report from him in which he states that he sees no real difficulty in the way of bulk shipments of wheat being sent to America at a profit. The inventor of screw whaleback skips is now engaged in conveying wheat to England, fie assured the delegate that his ships could take the bulk of tho grain 3ii any voyage without the necessity jf an increase in insurance risk, The company controlling this method of transportation will consider the suggestion made by the delegate, that tbey will secure almost a monopoly of the Australian wheat trade if they carry bnlk cargoes at reasonable rates. If 6uch vessels ire procured, he suggests the erection of elevators in Melbourne and Geelong. The report adds that the Victorian farmers have so far weathored the storm of low prices better than the American or Canadian farmers, and declares that with proper developments they possess advantages which should place them far ahead of them, Admiral Bowden-Smith, (Received, Jan, 12,11 am, Sydney, Jan,, 12, Admiral Bowden-Smith in the course of an interview said that no station was better supplied with coal and docking accommodation than the Australian Station, first class docking being situated in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland, Wet docks of smaller size in Lytteland Port Chalmers, He considered the Australian squadron in its present strength was quite sufficient for any emergency. The cruisers of the Tauranga clasH were excellent vessels, but rather small for kelpingatseain all weathors, On this station he still found it very useful to have a certain number of masted vessels to carry on tho work among the South Sea Islands, not only because sail power enables them while on a cruise to economise coal consumption, but because that class of ship is found more comfortable and cooler than the modern steel cruiser. With reference to tho defence of theports hesaid it is mattor of the greatest importance. Sydnoy he thought, as the head-quarters oi the squadron should bo absolutely safe from attack, though if mean! could bo found for adding 6ome firs! class torpedo boats, tho knowledge that such boats existed would be a source of anxiety to vessels threat' ening tho port of Sydney. To hii mind it was peculiarly adapted foi torpedo defence, which could bi easily manned by the local Nava Brigade, From a naval point o; view it would be an excellent tbinj if Fiji was connected with Australii by means of a Pacific cable, In concluding his remarks thi Admiral paid a high tribute to tlr kindness of the Union S,S. Compan; of Now Zealand, in carrying loiter! and intelligence which had been o great use to vessels under his com raand. The Grisis in the Goal Trade A General Strike Probable. Sydney, Jan. 11.

"UP SERVICE ONLY." Alexander, the White Czor of all tho Russias, after a short life spent in fear and trembling of Nihilism ■ after over a decade of domination of the most ignorant and superstitious ' and the poorest mass on the face of the earth died the other day, or, as he used to put it, "left his Russian prison." While alive, from his very position as Czar, and not because of any bad qualities of his own, he was the best hated man in the world, and now the cable tells us that his remains have been taken around the towns, and peasantry have trampled each other underfoot in the attempt to kiss the dead hand which hurt them so much when it was animate, The pathos of all this is not the pathos of such a Bcene—but tho falsehood of it. The Czar might well have said with Macbeth:— "—honor, love, obedience, troops of friends, I must not look to have, but in their stead Curses not loud but deep—mouthhonor, breath, Which the poor heart w'd fain deuy, but dare not." This is tho just reward of all successes, if they bo gotten falsely at the cost of other men. But tho success of tho great book, or the fine opera, the heaven born statue, the picture with the light of genius in it, or the scientific medicine which works honestly for its ends-these are enduring. Such a medicine is Warner's Safe Cure. It cures all forms of Kidnoy trouble, which is responsible for 90 per cent, of known diseases. To the name of Warner's Save, Cure which for 15 years past has gained the increasing confidence of nearly every large community of the civilized world, can truly be applied the converse of Macbeth's bitter complaint, and affirm that it enjoys all —" that which accompany old age." As honor, obedience, troops of friends. is the SINCEHEST FLATTERY" The articles mostimitated.are CLEMENTS TONIC and FLETCHEItS PILLS. WHY ? BECAUSE they have the best reputation and are most in demand by the public, consequently, every dishonest trader tries to trade on their fame and renown. It is really wonderful that theAusfralian people are so slow to see the truth as regards the unscrupulous quacks and charlatans who prey on the credulity of the Australian public. Scarcely a week overpasses but what the press expose the barefaced and shameful practices of some of these harpies, yet, in face of all they seem to thrive, and the paper who hounds them down most, thrives fattest on their advertisements aud cricks champagne over each balance sheet. Clements Tonic and Fletcher's Tills have never yet stooped to deception ami misrepresentation. They are scientific therapeutical agents, and evidenco as to their value can be found in every district, and such being the case it is unnecessary to further extol their virtues.
