From Our Own Correspondent RABAUL, March 2.

THERE is speculation in some quarters as to who will succeed Hon. N. P.

H, Neal as Legislative Councillor from the goldfields end of the Territory.

That was the post which Mr. “Blue”

Allan seemed destined to fill; but he now is soldiering somewhere South, and the general opinion is that the mantle will fall upon Mr. Harold Taylour, who has already taken over the reins of many offices held previously by Mr. Allan. Mr.

Taylour appears to be the most suitable man there, and his appointment will not come as a surprise.

Mr. C. G. Kilner, of the Shell Oil Company, arrived in Sydney recently from Rabaul, New Guinea, on furlough.
