the National bank of New Zealand an institution with a subscribed capital of 1000000 He Is travelling through this country now on his way to London where he is to consult with the board of directors of the bank He says New Zealand Zea-land is not much interested in the silver question and that he has not investigated it Now Zealand he says I the most prosperous of the colonies in Australasia

Zealand passed through a financial strait seven years ago that was caused by an inflation of values and has just fully recovered re-covered while Australia which has hitherto hith-erto enjoyed great prosperity is now suffering irbm the same cause Salt Lake has proved arevelafiontoMr Coates who has hitherto supposed that our fair city was many years behind the times He has found here ho says a city in many ways in advance of the j cities of his native colonies and keeping up with the procession even in progressive progres-sive America The people he finds are intelligent and broad minded The wide streets with the beautiful green shade trees make the city one of the most beautiful beau-tiful in tho world while its situation in the broad sweeping valley in such a place that one always has the stately mountains mount-ains towering above him and can always see the great lake adds to itscharm I S New Zealand says Mr Coates has avery a-very strong feeling for the mother I I country and in fact stands where the American colonies stood before tho unwise un-wise measures of England had caused a bitter feeling to sprint up All those even who are natives of the islands and Mr Coates himself is one of them look upon the old country as their homo and have a sacred veneration for all English Eng-lish institutions But yet for all that the colonists take a great deal of interest in American affairs and intently study every phase of our government In late years a strong party has sprung up under able leaders which is asking for the election of a governor by the people instead of the I appointment of a viceroy by the English I government This is not disloyal but it I is thought that the best interests of the i colonists wilL be served i they choose their own rulers Hon F E Warren exgovernor of and exsenator from Wyoming who was relieved of his onerous senatorial duties by the course of events in the last election elec-tion is at the Knutsford and has been iu town two or three days He has been very quiet while hero and has received only a few of his friends and done little visiting He is a very good Republican and as such attributes the present stringency almost wholly to the accession of the Democratic party He is j sound on the silver question and does not I uphold the course of his former colleague Senator Carey who has so basely deserted de-serted constituency He feels hopeful on the outlopk believing that Congress will not proceed to extreme gold measures but will adopta compromise A party of ladies seven in number chaperoned by Miss Mary A Glein of
