HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House met at 2.30 p m. Questions having been replied to, A lengthy discussion ensued on the WMtotara Petition. NEW 811/LS. The following Bills were introduced :— A Bill to amend Land Ad, 1885 (Mr G F, KiohardaoD) ; Bill to make better pro vision for the construction, maintenance and management of railways m New Zaaland (Mr Mitohelaon) ; District Rail ways Purchasing Act, 1385, Amendment, Bill (Mr Hislop) SUPPLY. The House went into Committee of Supply, when an Imprest Supply BUI for £250,000 (£175,000 out of the Consoli dated Fund, and £75,000 Pnblio Works Fand; was carried through all its stagos. The House roso at 5.5 p.m.

EVENING SITTING.

The House resumed at 7-30 p.m. IHB MIDLAND BAILAVAY. The Premier moved his resolutions re the Midland Hallway contract, premlslDg bis speech by briefly detailing the history of the railway, Government were dear that the railway would uot be built without further legislation, and that was the reason why they had brought down fresh proposals. Personally he waß m favor of the work, though he thought it \ might h vo been delayed for a few years, Id order to give the company a stable basis at Home they asked that the value of the land should be guaranteed. This might fairly be conceded. The other important point was that of mining:. The goldfields must be intsrropted, and Government proposed to take power to proclaim 750,000 acrep, which be thought wonld bo sufficient safeguard. It had been intended to insist od the company being registered m New Zealand, but It was found that ibis would break it up altogether, as it would prevent funds being raised. Government proposed instead that the company should have a representative m the colony, who could sue and be sued. Sir Julius Yogel also entered into a hiitory of the undertaking, dwelling at some length upon the difficulty whiob had cropped up of preventing the mining industry from being Interfered with. Be considered that the 750,000 acres which It was proponed to ant apart would be ample for the purpose, He pointed out that the company did not ask that the value of the land should be guaranteed at an average of 10a an acre before the railway was completed. What they wanted waß that by the time the work was finished the land should hava brought that amount. This was Bn important point and minimised the risk, if there was any. The modifications proposed by the company were of a reasonable nature, and he did not imagine the House would refuse to agree to them. Mr Downie Stewart said It w»b apparent that the company was likely to fare very well through the outbidding of parties over this railway. It had been distinctly understood that no guarantee should be given, andj as far as he could judge, from the complicated nature of the original contract, there was every probability of the whole matter ending m a gigantic lawsuit. He notioed also that the company asked the colony to give up the alternate blooka which had formed a pronouuoed aDd favorable feature m the original Boheme. It was evident that all they wanted was to get all the money they could out of the transaction Mr E. Richardson denied that there was anything to justify the assertion that parties were outbidding one another for political support over the railway, He complimented the Government on thelt efforts t» bring matters to a Satisfactory eonoicißion. Mr Hutchison said that there should be some mutality, If the colony guaranteed the land concession to the worth of a million and a quarter, then, If It brought more, the surplus should go to the oolony, Keatrlotlons ought to be imposed on the sale of land, and provision made for settlement along the line. Mr Menteath said these new proposals showed that the corupatiy was too weak for the task it had undertaken, and he was afraid they would give an exorbitant advantage to foreign capital, They were In effect going to raise a three million loan at a discount of about forty per cent, foi the colony would eventually have to buy the line, and would then have lost the land, Mr Perceval said they were not asked to guarantee money, but only to make up value m land, and even that Tras limited In at»s. Those befit qualified to give an opinion were satisfied that the land wue extremely valuable. He qaotii from Wipßi latborltttp on tWi point,

Mr Taylor said it was within hia knowledge that one block' of fif'y thooaaud acres of tend along the railway had been applied for at £2 an aore, but the ap plicants were j net. too late. Me Turnbuil B%id he had always supported the railway, bat was rather staggered at the alterations proposed. He disliked the extension of time for completion asked tor. There were c.ill a good trary tapa m the conditions, and he was afraid that they had not been oare fnlly revised. He condemned the aban donment of 'he alternate blocks and the absenoe of any penalty for non-completion \ of the line by the empany. - Mr f^rimmond said the alternates blocks we' 6of vital consequence to the Battlement of the Weßt Coast, and if they wore given up, deeply interested as ho was m the line, he should feel it his duty to oppose the conoesaion. The mining industry was also threatened, and In committee he should further express his objections. Sir Qeorge Qrey trusted the Houae would pause before committing itself to this new departure. He viewed with alarm anything tending to alienate large areas of land. He strongly opposed the alterations, and advised them to adhere to the old contract. He suggested that the matter should be referred to a com* mlttee Dr Hodgkinaon supported the proposal to refbr the contract to a Select Committee. i Mr Fuhon bad grave doubts whether ' this would be the last concession to be aßked for by the Company. He moved that a committee be appointed by Govern ment to consider the question and bring down a report on as early a date as posaible. Mr Turnbuil saw little use m relegating the matter to a committee. It would be better to adjourn the debate for a week. Mr Blake, aa one who had 25 years ex perience of the country, believed that very few members knew what they were talking about. He was satisfied that the land would average a great deal more than 10b an acre. A committee would lead to no good object. Practical legis lation was wanted, bo let them get to it at once Mr Yaleatine said the effect of the alterations would be to shut up all the land m the raiWay district for an inde finite time. Mr Seddon condemned the proposal to appoint a committee. If the contracts were pot gone on with 1500 men .would be thrown ontof work on the West Coast, and great distress would ensue. Major Atkinson seeing there was no chance to finish that night, thought it better to adjourn. If Government on consideration, approved of the appoint ment of a committee they would be prepared to move it. Agreed to, and the House rose at llt3o p.ra,

POLITICAL NEWS.

+ [from our own correspondent. J Wellington, November 5. The Midland Hallway debate oaine to an unexpected close last evening jaot when It bad reached an interes'ing et*ge. Major Atkinson went into the nutter very falJy, and explained the position ap to the present, being followed by Sir J, Yogel, who «Rye h : s support to the proposals of the Government. After this the tone of the debate rather altered, and although several speakers supported the Govarn ount a nurabor very strongly opposed It. Amonu these waa Sic G, Grey, who ctrongly denounced the attempt to hand over onr estate to a com pany of loreignera. Eventually Major Atkinßon aoked for an adjournment to Tuesday to enable the Government to consider a suggestion made to refer the matter to a {Select Committee, and this waß agreed to. A deputation of the Southern members waited on the. Minister for Pablio Works m reference to the grain tariff and terminal rates. Present— Messrs Fitchett, Ward, Fish, Cowan, Feldwiok, Valentine, and O'OBllap;han. The deputation pointed out that whilst the tariff provided that 2400 lba of wheat oould be carried to the ton only 2240 lbs of oats coold be taken. The Minister admitted that an inequality existed, but said that m view of the fact that a non- political Ball way Board wob likely to be formed ha did not feel inclined to alter the tariff at present. The Minister mentioned that it was the intention of Government to obtain from Home a duly qualified person to aot as Railway Manager and Chairman of the Board. The Minister, however, admitted that the charge for railway Hidings was exceßoive, and promised that a reduction should be made forthwith. A deputation of Otago members waited on the Premier this morning re the claims of the Otago Central Railway. Mr Pyke was spokesman, and the deputation desired to know what attitude the Government Intended to take regarding Mr Pyke'a Bill providing for the con struction of the line to completion on a land grant system. Major Atkinson replied he could not give an gnawer till after Tuesday. Mr Fish intends to ask the Government to move that the House Bhall sit on Mondays. It is also understood that Government will ask for Wednesdays for Government business, and prppose to sit on the Prince of Wales' Birthday. TWb looks like a desire of Government to get through business and close the uesßlon. The Midland Railway question, however, will take Borne time yet, and will probably be referred to a Select Committee at laat. The Financial debate ia also expected to last over » wrek.
