WANGANUI HAIRBOUB, BILL The Wanganui Harbour Board Em powering Bill was read a second time.. THE ELECTORAL BILL. The Council went into Committee on the Electoral bill, the Hon. Colonel Baillie being in the chair.; Clause 2—" Commencement of Act." Mr Kelly moved an amendment to the effect that no woman should be capable of voting at any election for members of thp House of Representatives until October 1,1894. The amendment was negative by 33 to 4—Mr Kelly, Mr Montell, Mr Shrimski, and Mr Swanson. Clause 3—lnterpretation. Mr Walker moved an amendment by which voters absent from home on the day ot the election should be able to register their votes instead of only giving such right to commercial travellers and seamen, as was proposed in the Bill. The amendment was lost by 19 to 18. At this stage it was agreed to report progress, as the Chairman of Committee was in poor health, and there was | great difficulty in getting anyone else to take his place. Ths Council adjourned till to-morrow.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House met at 2 30 p.m. REPLIES TO QUESTIONS. Replying to questions, it was stated That the Government could not take any action at present in the direction of abating the small birds nuisance. j That the Government would do. their best to get Education Boards to modify the Bvllabua for the pupil teachers' examination. That the Government would consider the case of Captain Kerr, of the Salva tion Army, when the report of the Resi dent Magistrate was received. OOVJ3KNMJBNT BUSINESS. On the motion of the Premier it was decided that for the rest of the session Government business should take prece dence on Thursdays at 7.30 p m. M RABBITS^IN SOUTH OANTERBUKY. In reply to a remark by Mr Rolleston with reference to checking the rabbit pest in South Canterbury, Mr McKenzie said that the only way to deal with this question was to compel settlers to do their- dutyj and he intended to >io that. THE ALCOHOLIC XIQUOKS BILL. The Premier moved jthat the Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Bill be recommitted for the purpose of making amendments in certain clauses. Mr Hutchison moved that sub-sections 3 and 4, of clause 15, be recommitted for the purpose of making alterations in the manner of taking the licensing poll. The Premier accepted another amend ment moved by Mr G. Hutchison, pro viding for a second poll in the event of the determination of the' electors that no publican's licenses should be granted, and I it was decided that this should be recon sidered when the Bill was recommitted. An attempt by Mr Meredith to have the clause giving a landlord the right of renewal for two years recommitted for the purpose of striking it out, was defeated by 26 t0,21.. ■ it . Captain Russell moved for the recom mittal of the club clause, in order that the Committee might have an opportunity of again considering whether clubs should come under the Acb or not. The motion was lost by 38 to 17. The Premier's motion was carried, and the House Went into Commfotee fc r con sideration of the clauses agreed upon. The clause dealing with the reduction in the number of licenses was amended ao as to provide that in case of certain con victions under the Act being endorsed on licenses, the endorsement should apply to any license afterwards issued, but that the cancelling or otherwise of a license on a third endorsement withio three years should be subject to the decision of the committee.  . . . . In clause 19, the provision bringing Bellamy's within the operation of the Act, was struck out bf 31 to 24. The House adjourned at 5.30 p.m. The House resumed at 7.30 p.nr in Committee on the Alcoholic Liquors Bill. Mr Sandford moved that the regulation in clause 19 that club bars should ,be closed at 11 o'clock .t night, and that clubs should be subject to the provisions of the Licensing Act in regarjd to the. en dorsement of licenses for Sunday trading, be struck out. , . o .  |4The motion was carried by id to 14. The Premier moved an amendment pro hibiting the sale of liquors in clubs at unauthorised hours. The motion was lost by 32 to 25. Several new clauses were added to the Bin. which was reported with amend ments, and the third reading set down for next day. BATING ACT. Mr Ward moved the second reading of the Bating Act Amendment Bill, to de clare aUliWive land to be rateable pro perty and to authorise rating on the un improved value of land. He said that he proposed after the second reading to refer the Bill to a Special Committee, and at the same time to refer the portion relat ing to natives to the Natiye Affairs Com mittee, The proposal £o tax. native land was not'to be wade general. As for rating on unimproved values heknewth%t a great difference of opinion existed on that point but he felt sure that the majority of those concerned would be in favor o* the proposal. The Bill also allowed local bodies to make the!* own assessment. Mr Ward explained the various clauses of the Bill in detail. Mr Buchanan regretted that the Go vernment proposed in this Bill to put the burden of valuations on the local bodies, which he regarded as a wrong principle altogether. Mr Richardson said that there was no reason for the proposal to rate the.unim proved value of native land, and the .Bill ty*s uncalled for and absolutely unworfc * Mr Fish objected to the practice of the Government bringing down experimental legislation and getting it doctored up in Committee. He thought that the House would do well to resist this practice. He agreed that the Bill was not wanted at all., Sir John Hall thought that if the Government abandoned the triennial as- , sessment there was some necessity fur a Bill of this kind, but the drafting of the present meftstbe seemed t<i him exceed ingly unsatisfactory. Mr Kapa said that the natives v^wed tJhis'BjH with'great~apprehension. As he Bid not see his 1 way to make improvement in it he should oppose it altogether. jjr Taipua referred^ to the Unpopularity of the present (Wernment with the natives, and spoke againat the Bill. He hoped that if £he House determined to rate native lands it would dosp as fairly aa possible, and put the natives, on an equality with Europeans. . Mr E. M, Smith regarded the Bill as a & tcp in the righb direction. 1&r Parata thought, that the Bill might well have = been left over till after the General Election. Mr T. McKeraie thought the Bill un complimented the Govern ment on the introduction of the Bill. Even if it did not pass this session much good would be done by diwuaslpg the |u,eitiop,

Mr McGhiiro thought that it was time that a Bill of this nature was pasied by I the House. | Mr R. Thompson said that the whole | Bill, as far as he c^uld see, was not worth wasting five minutes upon,.and, as far as native lands was concerned, it was a mockery. Mr Wilson, Or Newman, Mr Palmer, Mr Moore, Mr Lake, Mr Duthie, Mr McLean, and Mr Wright spoke. The Minister having replied, the second reading was cariied on a division by 30 to 9. The House rose at 1.45 a.m.

The Earthquacke in Greece.

THEBES REDUCED TO RUINS. The terrible earthquake which occurred in Greece in May reduced Thebes from a prosperous city to an almost complete ruin. Details of the upheaval are as follows :—lt was on May 23 that the first great ihdck was felt, although on the previous day several lighter ones had been noticed. At noon, however, on that date, with a tremendous rumbling sound, the city was shaken to its foundations, and houses toppled over as if they had been built of cards. A dense cloud of dust rose in the air from the falling walls, built for the most part of mud bricks; this was visible to a great distance on the plain around. The " Daily News" correspondent says that the scene in the town was of the wildest description. The hysterical shrieks of the women rent the air as they threw themselves upon the ground calling upon the Virgin, while the men vainly tried to seize and calm them. Every one thought next moment to sink into the abyss. In several places were rents extending across the street, but gradually the panic subsided, and by the 27th tents and timber for the erec tion of huts were being carted from Athens and Chalcis, and men of the Engineering Corps were arriving to take down the most dangerous of the tottering dwellings. A new Thebes of tents and sheds is being quickly built in the streets and open places. A tent serves as post-office, and a sentry box as telegraph office, while the public notary discharges his functions under an arrangement of carpets and sticks. The State engineer authority estimates the damage at more than 2,000,000 drachmas. Against this sura the 10,000 drachmas remaining in the JSational Bank from the subscriptions raised in 1853 sflem a mere nothing.

POLITICAL.

Wellinoton, August 29. Mr R. H. J. Keevea, ex-member for Inangahua, has sent the following reply to the resolution passed at the meeting at Reefton on Saturday :•—" Sir Robert Stout cannot in honor stand for Inangahua against me. I regret very much the action you have taken. Surely the number of years I have faithfully served the district deserves more consideration at your hands. I intend contesting the seat against all comers, and confidently trust to the well-known spirit of fair play that characterises my old constituency. Woodville, August 30. Mr George Hunter will contest the Waipawa seat against all comers.

Indiguation Meetings.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. Ha,wera, August 30. The largest meeting ever held in Nor raanby denounced the Government Liquor Bill as abortive, and appealed to Parlia ment to reject it and relegate the whole question to the general election. Woodville, August 30. At a public meeting under the auspices of the Prohibition League, a motion was passed unanimously condemning the Gov ernment for their breach of faith in re gard to licensing reform, and giving min orities power to oppose the will of the maj arity. ." : ■

THE ASHBtffiTOtf ftPABDtAISf r WJEDNEgDAY, AUGUST 30, 1898



The annual reunion of the member s and friends of the Ashburton rifle corps took place on Tuesday night in the Orange Hall. The reunion, which took the form of a social evening, was well attended, Colonel Bailey, who had been inspecting the corps early in the evening being amongst the visitors present. The hill was profusely decorated, and the floor was in excellent condition for dancing, so that with the ad dition of songs contributed, a most enjoyable evening was spent. At a meeting of persons interested in the liquor trade held in Christchurch on Tues day, a Committee of nine, representative of all branches of the trade, was appointed in connection with the approaching elections. The secretary was instructed to send to the Government a protest against Mr Tanner's proposed amendment to the Licensing Bill also that the majority to secure prohibition should be three-fourths instead of three fifths, and that three-fifths of the number of electors on the roll should be required to vote instead of one-half, and that the Act be so altered that women should not exercise a vote on licensing matters for at lenst three or five years. A deputation representing the temperance party waited on Sir Robert Stout in Christ church last night, and presented him with a requisition signed by 884 persons, asking him to contest one of the Christchurch seats. Sir R. Stout asked to be excused from giving a decided answer at present. He had heard that a petition was being got up in Reef ton asking him to again stand for that district, and although not opposed to Mr Reeves, he had not yet heard whether Mr Reeves intended coming forward. He would also like to consult the members for Christchurch, because he felt that more consideration was due to men practically on the same side of politics than to men fighting on the other side,
