PRESENTATION OF FLAGS.SALUTED AT THE TERRACE

SCHOOL.

This morning, at the Terrace School,fhe flags (Union Jacks) subscribed forby the pupils of Wellington schools forpresentation to the schools of Wellington,England, were duly saluted. This weekthey are to be forwarded to their des-tination. Accompanying them is thofollowing letter :—:

—"To his Worship the Mayor of Wel-

lington, England.—

Dear Sir,—

Thepupils of the public schools of the cityof Wellington, New Zealand, have re-cpntly procured a Union Jack for pre- jsentation to the public schools of yourjcity;and we now have the pleasure offorwarding this flag to your care, withthis covering letter of explanation.

"Our 'Wellington' wasnamed after thefamous Field-Marshal, and not after anyparticular town in the Homeland;hutthe identity of name is quite a sufficientreason for the desire to get into closertouch with the 'Wellington' in tho Bri-tish Isles.

"The sentiment which prompt* thisgift of a flag from school children toschool children is an excellent one, andone tobe cultivated in tho rising genera-tion in all the scattered States and Do-minions of our Empire.

"Young New Zealanders are quite asloyal to that Empire as are the citizen*of the Old Country, and they realisequite as keenly the necessity for its con-tinued unity and continued progress;the 13.000 miles of seaway interveningform no barrier to their lively interestin the welfare of their fellow citizens inthe British Isles.

"When our New Zealand flag is flyingfrom the flagstaff? of our schools, ouryoung people's thoughts aro directedthereby not only to New Zealand, theirnativeland, but also to theBritish Isles,foi in tlie corner of our national flag,prominently displayed, is the UnionJack. So would we wish that those whoare young in Great Britain should some-times have their thoughts directed to thefact that there is another Britain in theAntipodes in which they ought to beinterested, and a race growing up underSouthern skies which has, on more thanone occasion, shown its willingness tomake sacrifices for the Empire, andwhich cherishes the sentiment that it isnot forgotten in the Homeland of therace. Itis not without significance thatthe Young Australian and the YoungNew Zealander who have never eeen,and who probably n«ver will see, thehistoric islands in the North Atlantic,constantly refer to the British Isles as'Home.'

"We are proud of ourMotherland andits history, hopeful of onr own future asa portion of the Empire, and anxiousthat our children and your childrenshould grow up resolved to stand byeach other in whatever times of trial thefuture may have for us.

"This flag which we send to you hasbeen duly saluted by our school cadets

—cadets that form an integral part of theterritorial forces of our Dominion;andnow, on behalf of the children of Wel-lington, New Zealand, we beg toremain,in terms of loyalty and affection."

CORRESPONDENCE.♥.

CHEAPER ELECTRIC LIGHT.TO THE EDITOH.

Sir,—

In Saturday's issue of IhePost,Dr. Newman (as did Mr. Wilfoid in hisfirst address) advocates cheaper light,and suggests the flexible wiring system,provided the Fire Underwriters' As-sociation will alter their present rules(which rules are carried out through-out Australasia) jji order to allow thissystem to be carried out. Inmy opinionthe present trouble lies at tho* Welling-ton City Council's own door, and mightI, as an electrician, offer a few sugges-tions which, if carried out, will be themeans of & great reduction in the in-stallation of the electrir light andpower in houses and buildings.

(1.) Adopt the Fire Underwriters'wiring table, which allows 2000 amperesto the square inch as against 1000 as atpresent required by the corporation.

(2.) For the corporation to carry theirmains right to the switchboard (in con-duit as at present), and erect their ownmeter boards, also the main cut-out.

(3.) Reduce the cost of current.Strict rules are essential for the in-

stallation of the.electric light, and Ithink the Fire Underwriters' rules arethe best to adopt. At the present timewe have two sets of rules to carry out,each contradicting tho other (in somecases), and many so called unwrittenrules. Why not adopt one set of rules,then the contractors and men wouldknow exactly what had to be carriedout. This, with the Underwriters' wir-ing table (which will allow double thepresent number of lights) will reducethe present cost to about half. In Aus-tralia (Melbourne), the corporationcarrytheir mains (free of cost) to the switch-board, and erect their own main fuseand meter board. If the WellingtonCorporation were to do this, the wiringportion of a house would cost verylittle. The contractor would, simplycarry out the wiring with fittings, anderect a marble switchboard, leaving twowires long enough to connect into themeter on one side, and the main cut-out on the other. It would take a manabout a day to connect a house inthis way with the street wires, which'cost could be borne by the coiporatiouvery easily. Most contractors in Wel-lington agree that this would be themeans of every house being connectedwith the corporation main*. The pre-sent cost of Current is iather high, andcould be reduced a little, even thoughthe metallic filament lamps cost solittle to burn. The following i» thecost per unit in Australia:

—Sydney, 3d

for light, l£d for power;Melbourne,4d for light, 2d for power. Certainlytho high voltage makes a great differ-ence, viz., 230 and 240, but still theWellington charges could be reduced.As far as the flexible wiring system isconcerned, Ifor one would like to 6ceany electrician in Wellington ,finich asix-roomed house in one day, under thecorporation's rules, and would go so faras to say such would be impossible.When tho Electrical Syndicate had thelighting businoss, a great deal of in-ferior work was done, and had Jit notbeeu for our Fire Underwriters' Inspec-tor (Mr. Ware), we should have had afew electricalBus. Let the corporationenforce their present bylaw, and notallow boys and youths to install thewiring in a house or building (such hasbeen the case lately), but only licensedwiremen, then electrical flren are im-possible. One particular cr^e aboutthree years ago was enough to start atire that camo under my notioe. Oidiu-ary bell-wire was nailed to the raftersin the ceiling, and tho lights takenfrom this where required. The Electri-cal Inspector can give plenty of cases,but none hardly as bad as the above.—

1am, etc.,LICENSED WIREMAX.

JERRY BUILDING.to rae editor.

Sir,—l do not wish to takeup too muchspaoe of your paper, but Iwish to endorseI.C. Watts's remarks in his letter of yes-terday* issue concerning the jerry build-ing of dwellings at the present lime in thosuburbs of the City of Wellington. Writ-ing to you as one who has seen manycountries of the world and their modes ofbuilding of dwellings, one cannot help butfeel pained at the prc'ont existing condi-tions as set out in the lciter. In inj-firmbelief theeo houses that are beingput upat the present by the jerry and opeoulat-iug builders wil] in fifteen years henceequal those of tho slum tenements of theOld Country or thote of Haining-ttrect,which, Iam sure, aro a terrible eye-soreto every Wellington citizen. Writing asone who is connected with tho trade, myestimate of cost of land, labour, and mate-rial lor the four-roomed house typo wouldnot exceed £250. Then they are advertisedon the market at about £450, with eaeyterms, to tho worker. But beforo ho willhavo paid the balance, with interest, hi*what vrnn once a beautiful homo will benot further fit for habitation. Now, sir, ifWellington want* to keep in the frontrank a* being a dean, sanitary, and pic-turcoquo city, this kind of building work"hould be put a stop to at once; becauseanyone with senseknows that tho Advance*to Worker*' Department will not mort-gage on thjem. We have what are calledliceusod plumberw, fully qualified trades-men, but when all is said they are anabsolute farce, whilst the other branch ofthe building trade 1* allowed to do a* itlike*. Anyone- inspecting some of thesehouses would find that toe plumbing andsanitary work was tho only decent jobabout them; and the abominable work iscovered up with a good wall-paper. Kow,sir, Iconsider this an opportune timo toget the opinions of our city father* to bethat are contesting the mayoralty. Truit-ing a more abler pen than mine will takethis matter up,—l am, Pic,

SOLOMON'S TEMPLE.9th April.

PETONE RIFLE CLUB.♥

The Pctono Rifle Club continued thethird aggregate match la«t Saturday.The ranges were 300 and GOO yards; ten"hots at etch. The following are theprincipal scores:

—

Rflmn. Ayson (4), 81; Rflmn. Caldwcll(0), 80; Rllnin. Coulter (3), 74." Legs-in for trophies.

The recent boisterous weather at theBlurt considerably hampered the operu-tiuns of the oyster merchants. Thestorage bedsar« someHtU«-distance fromthe wharf, and communication was dimcult owing to tho 6*vere westerlyi\e*ther. On W«dne*day one boat wascapwized and her cargo emptied into theM?a. In order to avoid *uuh liakit infuture the merchants aro in communica-tion wiuh the raHway authorities togrant a siding at a point opposite thebed*. For tome reason the departmenthah hitherto declined compliance, butnow that tho traffic hub proved itselfabsolutely dangeious, it it. hoped (tayea Southern ionUmporaiy) that th* objec-tion* will no luncai- b« allowed to itandid tha way.

rushed to the spot, where Moguire laygroaning.

Quartermain fired twice at the re-treating figure of a man, but beforethe eon-stables could seize him he hadvanished into tho darkness,— no oneknewwhither.

This occurred at 8 o'clock. Th? ser-geant was conveyed to the hospital aftera doctor had been summoned.

THE SEARCH CONTINUED.Reinforcements hurried to the scene,

and a cordon was thrown round thewhole block, it being believed that Po-welka was in hiding somewhereamongst the houses, most of which aresurrounded by gardens and trees.

Heavy rain fell subsequently, but allthrough the night the polica and citizenskept a ceaseless vigil, challengingpassers-by, and investigating every sus-picious movement. At daybreak a* care-ful search was made of the whole block.As soon as it was light enough to see,tho Ferguson-street Block was searched,but the Quarry had flown. Evidently hehad left the scene immediately afterSergoant Maguire had been shot. Sometime

—̂probably three-quartersof an hour— elapsed between the tragedy and the

posting of sentinels, so that the perpe-trator had an ample interval in whichto escape.

TWO FIRES CONNECTED.A connecting link between the HigJi

School firo of 1uesday nijjht and the out-break at Millar ana Giorgi's premiseswas discovered yesterday, when the lat-ter found in the shop a belt of peculiarpattern, similar to those worn by theHigh School Cadets, but which the firmdo not stock.

Naturally, last night's happeningshavecaused a great sensation in the town,and are the sole topic of conversation.Some women on the outskirts of thetown have come into the town to live, jand numbers of citizens have purchasedarms.

STATEMENT BY HAMPTON.Hampton states that on Sunday ho

found traces in hi* orchard of a manhaving slept undor a tree on Saturdaynight. Theio were marks on the graes,of half-eaten apples, and a club newlycut from a tree. He determined toawait the man's return, and accordinglywent into the garden after nightfall. Hesaw an. intruder climb a fenco on theopposite side of the road, and enter bythe gate. Immediately Hampton wentpost-haste for the police. On his returnSergeant Maguire went round the firstcorner of the houee, encountered a manstanding at the doorway, and at once«closed with him. Hampton and Quar-teimain came running over, and theshooting followed.

SERGEANT MAGUIRE'SCONDITION.

Sergeant Maguire is desperatelywounded. He was operated on at thehospital last night. The bullet hadpenetrated the stomach and bowels, andliis condition is critical. j

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' DEMON-STRATION.

Large crowds visited tho Petone Recrea-tion Ground on Sunday afternoon on theoccasion of a united frieudly societies'demonstration. A procession, marshalledby Bro. Mulling, which marched from therailway station, comprised representativesfrom tho followingorders " Forestera (twolodges), Oddfellon'b (two lodges), Druids(two lodge')i Rcchabitee, Hibernians, andLady Foresters. The gathering was holdwith the object of augmenting the fundsof tho proposed Jubilee Orphanage. Eachof the speakers at the demonstration

—Mr.

'I M. Wilford, M.P.. Mr. .7. W. M'Ewan(Mayor of Petone), Mr. E. P. Bunny(Mayor of Lower, Hutt). and Mr. J. Ker-shaw (corresponding secretary of the NewZealand branch M.U., 1.0.0.F., P.D.P,)—eulogistically referred to tho grout benefitsderivable from being associated withfriendly societies. Mr. Kershaw. in thecourse of a lengthy address, touched inparticular on tho commendable object inview that afternoon, detailing the progressof the movement. Tho effortmade in1887reslieed £241, and although no specialeffort had been put forward since thattime, yet to-day, as the result of carefulinvestment, the fund was in credit to thoextent of £780. The speaker enjoined onlodge members the necessity of consideringa scheme of making a small contributionto tho orphanage fund of about twopenceper annumon whatever small amount wasdecided upon. As an instance of the pos-sibilities of tho working of the proposal,he pointed out how, if the 6070 lodgemem-ber* in Wellington bad been contributingon the proposed basis since Jubilee year,the fund to-day would have been £1000,withcompound interest £2000, greater thanit was. After paying a tribute to thothrift of members, Mr. liemhaw proceededto advocate tho setting up ,of a conferenceof city_and suburban lodges on the sub-ject, with the objeot of drawing up somedefinite plan of campaign.Inconnection with tho Petone SalvationArmy, the annual harvest festival com-

menced on Sunday morning, when Adju-tant Gardner delivered a stirring address,taking for hit text:"The harvest i* greatand the labourer* aro few."

Members of Potone and WellingtonWorking Men's Clubs fraternised at Pctonaon Saturday afternoon in an inter-clubcricket match. Victory went to the visi-tors by seven wickets. Peton«'s total was79 runs. At. the conclusion of tho matchthe Wcllingtonians were entertained atthe EmpireHotel.

Marengoj was not started with any notion thathe might prevail, but rather with thedual object of Mipporting the race andfinding out whether he could May. Un-fortunately he pulled up very lame, andit ik feared he has ruptured v suspensoryligament. If this nhould be bo it is ex-tremely bad; luck for his owner*, for,Having been consistently in tho wars,the colt has never been seen at anythinglike his beM. Tho race it*elf wuk adixtinctly pretty one. Though v strongtpace was cet, Ingoda, who waa nicelyhandled by Hatch, was always runningalong well within hemclf, and when ask-ed to go to the front at the distance,ahe promptly responded,and won easilyby a bare length in the record time of3min 2nec. Her performance was athoroughly meritorious one,andmakesherout to be a very smart filly indeed, forthough Milan was not the filly rhe wason Wanganuj Cup day no excuse can bemade for Kilwinning, who wax beatenfairly and squarely upon his merits.

There being not late-hour withdrawals,a nice field of ten lined up for the Au-tumn Handicap, the result of which wasalmost universally regarded a* being do-cidodly open. EquitasV appearancearoused considerable interest, and whensho was «een to be in good fig, backersmade a rush to get their money on.Those who knew her best,however, werenot at all confident of her ability toscore. Her owner summed up the posi-tion to a nicety. "Sho had a mosttedious journey down from Auckland inthe train," were his words to me o» we

ilooked her over in the weighing enclo-sure, "and on arrival she was right offcolour. Since being here sho has pickedup a bit, but Idon't like to see her onher toeb the way she is, «nd Iamafraidshe will go mad during the first sixfurlongs and1 so beat herself." Thus ex-actly it happened. Oliver did hih besttosteady her without nulling her about,but it was no use, ana for five furlongsshe was tearingalong in front at a greatrate. Then her rid the remit ofthe ronnd, for while Parnell is only twopoints ahead of North Shore, the Utterhas an easy match. The result of yes-terday's play was :—:

What is aaid to be a world's recordprice for stud sheep was offered onSaturday to Mr. Ernest Short, of Par-orangi, for two of the rams which heis taking to the* Argentine for competi-tion at the coming Centennial Show atBuenos Ayrec. Mr. Wm. ,Akers, thewell-known Linton (Paimerston North)breeder, commissioned Mr. Chat. Carr,of Feilding, to purchase two of theShort Romneys. Mr. Carr went out toParorangi and inspected the Short studflock, and as a result met Mr. Shortin Feilding, and offered £800 each forthe two animals he selected. Mr.Akers was prepared to write out achequeat once for the £1600. Mr. Shortrefused the "ffer, as the ..wo rams se-lected by Mi. Carr were the pick ofthe flock for the Argentine, and withoneof them ha hopes to win the world'schampiensnip against tne Englishbreeders at Buenos Ayree. Mr. Shortand hir competitive contingent leaveFeiiding for South America on the 19thinst. Mr. E. 3. Riddiford,of theHutt.one of the best judges of sheep in theDominion, declares that tne Short Rom-neys that are going to the Argentine,are worth £5000, and their departurewill be a distinct loss to New Zealand,but if Mr. Short- wins the world'schampionship it will demonstrate thatXew Zealand can breed better rheepthan even Kent, the home of the Rom-aey breed.

by the headmistress of tho Girls' CentralSchool, Nelson, which has 627'pupilsonits roll. "Although the attendance isvoluntary," she writes, "practically thewholo of the children who intend tobe present at the ordinary school sessionattend the class." To talk of a systemunder which such admirable results canbe obtained afa essentially "godlepb" ispositively ludicrous, and we are thank-fuJ to see that in bteadily increasingnumbers the enthusiasts whose zeal oncefound expression in talk of this kindarenow endeavouring to secure for otherparts of the country tho same advantageswhich Nelson has long enjoyedunder theexisting Jaw.

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

A brave man, Sergeant Maguire, wasdangerously wounded in

ThePowelka the Powelka pursuitPanic at Palmerston North.

While others wererush-ing about with loaded revolvers tho ser-geant went, unarmed, to arrest a mansuspected to be Powelka, and the officerwas (shot. His courage contrasts pleas-antly with the panic into which one fugi-tive from justice has thrown a Britishcommunity of some thousands of people.The police have been eluded for an al-leged muddling of the chase, but per-haps they have been severely handi-capped by the excitement and hysteriathat have prevailedall around them. It.has not yet been established that Po-welka is a homicidal maniac;there is noclear evidence that it was Powelka whoshot Sergeant Maguire;but the terror

Iinspired by him is equal to any conster-nation that a "Bluebeard" or "Jack theKipper" could ever hope to create. Thisjregrettable spectacle of ten or fifteenthousand people afflicted with a "brainstorm" further emphasises a point whichwe made in a previous comment. Itproves that New Zealanders, ordinarily,are little troubled with such lawlessmarauders as aro common enough inolder countries. Life here is verynormal. The people, live in the comfort-ing assurance that all will be reasonablynormal, and when somebody becomes re-markably abnormal there is a spectaclesuch as Pjilmerston is pitifully present-ing. It willbe fortunate if the Powelkaepisode ends without the shooting ofseveral persons by marksmen not namedPowelka.

It has been said that Xew Zealand isan appanage of Lon-' More Wealth don— a country sub-

for urb of the TmDerialNew Zealand? metroplis. This coun-

try grows largely forLondon, and- the financial barometerhero rises and falls with the ghiss ofLondon. Xew Zealand's welfare chieflydepends on one markeU-England's—and when that market is weak, NewZealand is very sad. The competition ofcountries to supply Britain's needsgrows keener, and thenecessity of find-ing fresh markets for such a countryas New Zealand becomes more pressingyear by year. The gates of the Contin-ent and the United States are locked,but a key may be used by hands thatare now busy. Last week there wasnewsof Germany's workers, calling for theabolition of the obstacles to the freeimportation of food, and the Labourparty in America is at war with thofood trusts. The unionists secured ad-vances in wages, but the nominal ad-vantage was lost in the increased costof living. The trusts have- been power-ful, and are mighty still, but the gen-eral mass of the people has been gain-ing in strength. The recent meat boy-cott wasonly one of many evidences ofthe people's resentment of the trusts'greeay exploitation. The money of afew is strong, but the hands and headsof the vast majority are stronger ulti-mately, and there aro signs that therank and file of the United States aredetermined to escape from the bondageof the magnates. Tho forces acting forcheaper food threaten to sweep awaythe barriers, and this movement mayincidentally benefit New -Zealand. Itwill profit enterprising men of these ■islands to closely watch the trend ofpublic opinion in the United States, orany other country where the people, ex-asperated by the artificial clearness offood, avo resolving tomake a change._In a city where the people's homes are

beautiful a visitor can as-The Homo sume, fairly safely, theBeautiful, presence of a healthy

public opinion, a com-munity with a zest for solid improve-ments from all good civic viewpoints.Unhappily the stranger who strays intoWellington aud many other towns ofNew Zealand may see numerous housesof drab, forbidding aspect, before he be-holds one that smiles and invites. Realhome-making is not a widely-practisediart yet in this new country. A wander-ing spirit is still in hosts of the people,and thousands of thehouses help to pro-mote tho shifting habit. There are"pilgrims of tho night," by force ofjfinancial stress, but these are a veryminor fraction of the nomads whohavereally no household gods. One couldwell wish that New Zealand cities weretjhavean "idealhome" exhibition suchas the one which Princess Christianopened at Olympia, London, the otherday. No doubt much good could bedone here by ocular proof that no hugeamount of money is needed to make asimple house please rather than horrifya sensitive observer. Will private enter-prise some day see an advantage in offer-inghabitable abodes to people of mode-rate means, or will it be left to theStateor municipalities? Under the pre-sent circumstances a considerable por-tion of Wellington's population will bemore or less ceaselessly on the move be-tween one unbeautiful habitation andanother. The story of one house is thestory of many. It is a minimum ofVbuilding, with a maximum of ugliness,on a minimum of ground. With a fewpnuiyworth of seeds of hardy plants a(utiatit might easily do something to re-din-o the dreariness, but apparently theUplii\f-BR dares him, and numbs him. Heallows tho place to become more un-nHvjhtly—nnd moves on. This aspect ofcity lit* i» not one that usually interestsO»l\ Councils, but it is one that deserves—

tiiul t»vo» demands—

earnest study.
