The res-.on of it* failure Was that members had not PP him, but he (Major Atkinson) ‘hi. statement for the tirst time . . - . v that the Premier bad even assMtedthe House to go in *ho dlrecdon lr^ ntion , e .“ In his speech. It had always bem his firm conviction that Government would have to purchase the Welhngton-Mana watu Company’s line, and h believe that the completion of the Gorge lino would effect the price to be paid. He believed the reason that the amend ment was brought down was because the opinion of a section of the Hoase was that what was now under construction should be completed to a working poln. before any new lines were undertaken, and he quite agreed with that course. Referring to the purchsae of native lands, he objected to the amount being taken from the North Island frank line. The House had neve: refused school building expenditure being dealt with locally, bu they refused to d al with the subject piecemeal, and asked the Government to disclose their policy on the question. He ventured to think the Bouse wanted a reduction of the loan and asked if the Premier was sincere in his economy, if be was let him comedown end cut from £50,000 to £IOO,OOO off the Estimates This was tbe true criterion. Hearty support from his (H»jor Atkinson ») side Of the House would ba given him in this respect ; the Opposition would cheerfully agree to anv roducti- n suggested by the Premier. If the Premier was sincere the schedules in the Bill under consideration would have to be reduced. Sir Julius V *gel denied that his return to the colony was to introduce a new system of borrowing. His reason for again (entering into politics was to en deavour to lift the colony from the position it had bean placed in by the late administration. He criticised at length the speech of Major Atkinson, and defend the Government from the accusa tions levied against them. As to the amendment, he thought its term too obvious for members to fall Into the trap, and such a re solution was utterly inconsistent with the spirit of our parllamen*ary institution. Government were carrying out a policy of decentralisation and cultivating friendly relations with tbe Natives They were desirous of constructing the railways to points which would be remunerative. It would be better if the House dealt with the main parts of the policy Instead of attacking the broad features. , . Mr Montgomery said he would not join anv Government of which Sir J. Vogel wa head. He in 1884 determined to support the present Ministry, but they had not carried out their promises re garding local government, taxation, &c. MfcConolly moved the adjournment of the House at 2 10 a.m. , Sir R. Stout said that if the amendment were put and negatived he would agree to the adjournment, but not otherwise. The motion for adjournment was lost by Rolieston said the debate showed the Government were divided on many points, and only kept together by c n promise He condemned the system of browbeating of the Treasurer towards the House, and he should never forget the attitude assumed by liim on that occa sion. The speeches of the Premier and Major Atkinson were statesmanlike, but the Treasurer was petulant and offensive. The Treasurer said he had come to the colony because of misgovernment, but he asked the Treasurer whether he b® did not in bis calmer moments feel ashamed of what he had said. He then referred to the manner in which the Treasurer had used his position as,Agent- General of tbe colony at Horae to make claims on the colony jn a time of greai depression. He defended the Atkinson Administration, and said that Govern ment had passed liberal land law and had settled the Native' difficult}’. He ventured to say that the members of the Atkinson Government were respected throughout the colony, and the Trea surer was not justified in referring to the member for Egmont as he had done. Mr Mitchelson moved the adjournment of the debate at 4a m.—Lostby 24 to -1- Mr Moss spoke on the Public Works policy at some length. At 4 20 a m. the Speaker said 1 e de sired to remind the House that the Hansard staff, owing to the lateness of tbe sitting, had broken down. Major Atkinson asked the Premier if he still persisted in forcing on such an important debate without being reported in Hansard. Fir R. Stout s .Id members were, evi dently talking time, and bis compromise b? l not been agreed to. Mr Mobs s°id the Premier wanted to stifle discussion. He then continued his moved the adjournment of the debate at 4.45 a.m. Be said Sir a Grey wighei to speak on the Bill, and i was desirable that his remarks should be reported in Hansard. . . Sir P Etout said if that were earned it would defeat the Bill. , Maj r Atkinson again appealed to tbe Premier. He said he had never heard ot such a proceeding —that the Premier should burke d’seussion on such an im portant debate. He warned him that such a course of action would only pro long the session, and ho wou.d take cate that the colony would know of tbe Premier's action. Mr Rolieston raked if the House was to be gagged in this manner. He wished to know the Speaker’s rnling on the queation, Sir G: Grey appealed to tbe Govern ment to allow him to put his speech on record. He said he wished particularly to reply to the Treasurer, who had repre sented himself as a poor man, but he was in a position to prove that he had dra vn large sums of money from the colony. Mr Cowan aa ; d he thought matters had come to a deadlock, and he hoped the Premier would agree to the adjourn ment ~ The motion for adjournment was then put and agreed to— House rdse at 5.10 a.m.
