The fact that Louis Kahu shot himself' on Wednesday has caused all kinds of talk. It if rumoured that he has lost heavily in naveral deals of late, one being the Eppin gor failure. This talk has caused much uneasiness among the patrons of the bank, and the Bank Commissioners have been requested to take charge of the affairs of the institution.The directors are said to have found the institution's affairs in a badly tangled state and they have decided not to tako action until the State officials have made an investigation.

At a late hour tonight Kahn was resting fairly well and the physicians stated he was in no immediate danger of dying, but there appears to be little hope of his ultimate recovery. Kahn was a heavy spatulator in grain and was, on the wrong

fish of an excellent kind, too, as, for in- stance, salmon of the best quality.

Another astonishing peculiarity of tho lake la that its temperature rises in winter and falls in summor, Thus, when all the watercourses in its neighbourliood are frozon solid, the water of the lako becomes so warm that it is really pleasant to bathe ip. On the contrary, in summor, its water is so cold that it chills you.

This peculiarity causes the lake to be in winter very full of fish, which travel thither from all the watercourses which empty into it. The number of fish is so great that you can catch them with your hands, and kill a considerable quantity of them with a stick.

MAULED BY A TIGER.

SECUNDERABAD, Juno 7th.-Captain Jocely Mellor, R.F.A., who was so gevero- ly mauled by a tiger, died at the Station Hospital last evening, after undergoing an operation. Particulars of the accident show that Captains Mellor and Symon had mark- ed down a tiger, and that the former put in three shots. The bruto'suddenly sprang out and knocked Captain Mellor over. Al- - though considerably hurt, he raised his knee to protect his head and fired a shot in the chest of the boast, which immediately grab bed him by the thigh and clawed his arm and hand. Captain Symon then came up and put in three shots before the beast loosened its bold.

The people erected large barricades across a number of streets, and a stub born contest was promised.

However, the military was called out in strong force and the soldiers were

Two questions were for the Prime Minister. The first was in regard to foreign pilote employed in British waters. He admitted that there were a number, and remarked that while we allowed foreign pilots foreign countries should allow our pilots in their waters. But, asked Mr Thomas Lough, a Radical friend-" ly to the aliens, have there been any complaints that these men do not discharge their duties Be, received a quiet, but pointed answer. "No; I fear the com- plaint will come when wo are at war with another l'ower,' said Mr Balfour. One or two Scots were anxious about the impend ing legislation-in the dispute between the United Free and legal True Churches. It was understood that a Bill would be introduced before Whitsuntide.

All this, however, was prelude. Every. body was waiting for something else. Expeectation was tense. There must be somo reference to last night's scone, but what, or bow, gave piquancy to the in- terest. Questions over, the Opposition leader, digging his knuckles into the bench, gave himself a sudden hoist. The Radicals

That was the Opposition shot. Like the rip of a tornado the Radicals cheered their approval, while distinct, and in another key, Ministerialists were proclaiming their dissension. The House was in the sway of Party conflict.
