PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.

FFBOK OUR OWN COBBEBPONDENT.J 1 Wellington, November 10. , «TNtCI?AL CONFERENCE. The delegate* who recently attended the Municipal Conference m Wellington will be glad to hear that Major Steward It watohlng their interests, and to-day gars notice of bis intention to aak Government If ihay would give effect to the resolutions | of the late Municipal Conference. ( SCHOOLS OF MINES. , There aeema no intention on the part of Government to conciliate the goldfielde members. To-day, In answer to Mr liatnaob) the Minister of Mines said the Government wo aid not encourage the establishment of a number of small i Schools of Mines. The Government he < •aid, proposed that there Dhonld be two fehoolf m the colony, one at Thames and one at Beefton. IKE DATS BUSINESS, The business this afternoon was dreary and, from a general point of view, uninteresting. Two bills which, however, have for several sessions created con alderable interest, were passed through Committee with alight amendment. WAEPoTABA PETITION. At the Supreme Court yeiterday the Chief Jaitioo made an order which is wrongfully described In this evening's -papers. The order was that particulars of the alleged offences be delivered within •even dajs from now, and that the names •t witnesses be delivered 7 days before the trial. The papers have It that the petitioners were ordered to give par* ttaolars of the charges m detail, certifying names and dates to be delivered Beven days before the day fixed for hearing. THE BKTBENCSQCENT BOAB. Notwithstanding the roar tor retrench ment which went through the land at the general elections, it is quite certain now that tbe Auckland and Taranakl members do not intend to subscribe to any doctrine of the kind indicated and then preached In addition to the agitation on the part of these , members to divert the funds of the North Island Trunk Line for expenditure m Taranakl, they are clamoring for a road from Stratford or New Plymouth to some point on tbe trnnk railway. This road will cost £50,000. It is proposed that the money ■hall come out of the North Island Trunk Railway Loan. It Is stated that Government are agreeable to this course, and that all farther expenditure on the North Island Trunk line be discontinued at once. The Auckland members appear to be quite rapacious m the matter of ex penditure of public money m tbeir district, and have approached Government with • demand for a vote of £100,000, for extension of railway, North of Auckland, and another £50,000 for roads and bridges North of Auckland; The ideas of Auckland members on tbe subject of retrenchment, therefore, appear rather novel. STLIir TO CROWN TENANTS. Sir George Grey's Bill for the relief of Crown tenants provides for the constitu tion of a Court 'to re-adjust rentals of property held under vaiioas systems of tenure from the Crown. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. The Minister of Education has Introduced ft ßill entitled Industrial Schools Aot Amendment Bill, wbich provides that m ■ome cases the cost of maintaining chil dren sent to Industrial Schools m*y be recovered from the parents or District OhtrltableAld Board. EQUALITY OF EiCKS. Mr Ballance to-day presented petitions from a large number of Natives, setting forth that they are m great dread of the resolution proposed by Mr Carroll, believing that If carried the resolution Would do great harm to the Native people, They, therefore, pray the House to reject the resolution. One petition is signed by Te Heuheu, a great Taupo thief, and 43 others. 7{C<ANCIAL DBBA'XE.
