< the Government did nofc propose to assist the bank at the expense o! the taxpayers. If the Australian Governments had boldly | faced the difficulties which threatened them, the cmia which followed would have been greatly obviated. The Bank of New Zealand was practically a national institution, and the Government had to averb a great crisis. It was found that the bank's capital required enlarging. A measure was passed last year which would have enabled the bank to do this for itself, but owing to the exceptional cir cumstances obtaining in London and the colony it was unable to do so. The pre sent Bill proposed that a guaranteed in crease of capital should ba made to the extent of £2,000,000. The Government had desired to reduce it to half or less, but the representative of the bank had pointed out that this would be inade quate. It would be necessary to main tain credit outside of the colony and if only £1,000,000 were found and utilised in the ordinary business, credit would end on its exhaustion. The £1,000,000 required for ordinary busi ness was required for advances against pro duce during the next half year. During the nexb half year £500,000 would be invested as the Colonial Treasurer might, approve. The paid up oapital fund amounted to £900,000, and with the reserve liability of shares amounting to £1,500,000 must be exhausted before any claim could be made on guarantee, and there was a cash reserve of £1,400,000. Thus the security was adequate ewough. The Bill was to provide against the happening in future of what had happened in the past. After explaining the pro visions of the Bill Mr Ward went on to say that it would be complained that this was the creation of a State Bank and that a State Bank was a bad thing ; but to have such State supervision aid to give to the leading bank of the colony a position similar to that which the Imperial Bank takes in Germany, and which the Bank of France takes in France, would be a good thing for the whole of the financial institutions of the oolony. The House was now asked to decide as to the good or evil of the colony for many years to come. Captain Russell said that this was an occasion on which it would be recognised that there should be no attempt to gain a party advantage, but to approach the ques tion with a grave sense of duty. There was one paragraph, however, in the Governor's Speech which said that the position ot New Zealand was eminently satisfactory, and he thought it a pity that Ministers knowing what they must have known only a week ago, should have put such words into His Ex cellency's mouth. He contended that no member of the House, except those on the Government benches, exactly under stood the nature of the Bill. They were asked to guarantee £2,000,000 under the Bill, but he ehould not withhold his con sent, as to do so might produce great disaster. He had carefully considered the matter, and he had come to the con clusion thai even a guarantee by the colony of £2,000,000 was not; such a great disaster as would be caused if the Bank of New Zealand had to close its doors to morrow. He thought at the same time that a heavy liability would fall on the taxpayers by this Bill. It seemed to him that they were in exeat danger of establish ing a State Bank by the Bill, and he was distinctly hostile to a State Bank. He sincerely hoped that what they were now doing would prove beneficial to the colony. Mr George Hutchison said that this was a loan Bill for £2,000,000 which was not to be used by the colony but by an insti tution and for which £80,000 a year would have to be paid in interest. He thought that the Bill should be referred to a com mittee so tint it might receive furthtr consideration. Dr Newman, Mr Thomas McKenzie, Mr t Buchanan, and Mr Hogg also spoke oa the Bill. 1 Sir Robert Stout said that he saw no reason whatever for sending the Bill to a committee. They had the assurance of the Colonial Treasurer that the Bill wm urgently required, and if the Bill were to pass there was no occasion to waste un necessary time over it. . The Premier said the Government were asking Parliament to accept a grave re sponsibility by this Bill, but a crisis had arisen which it was necessary should be met. He complimented the Opposition on the manner in which they had re ceived the Bill, because they had not the information at their command that the Government had , He saw no reason for referring the Bill to a committee. Re* ferring to Captain Russell's remarks übout the paragraph in the Governor's Speech about the satisfactory condition of the colony, he said that at the time that Speech was written they had every reason to congratulate themselves upon the prospects of the colony, but this present crisis had suddenly arisen and it was for the House by passing the Bill to dispel this cloud. It would be beneficial to the country, and the Government had not taken this step without moso careful consideration. Mr Duthi* complained- that the House was taken by surprise in this matter. Mr Bell said thatfche Government were responsible for the statement that the affairs of the bank were in the state that they described, and they were also re soonsible for the statement that if the Bill did not pass great ruin would fall upon many people in tbe colony. The Government must accept full responsi bility in the matter. Mr Ward in replying said that if the Bill were delayed till to-morrow morning us suggested by some hon members the House would not be asked to go on with it at all, and the responsibility must then rest with those who delayed the Bill. The motion for the second readiag was agreed to on the voices. I On the motion for the committal of the Bill. Mr George Hutchison moved that the Bill be referred to a select committee, i and that the committee should report that night. The amendment was lost by 51 to 8. and the Bill was ordered to be committed. | One clause was altered so as to make it i permissive on the directors to levy £500,000 of reserve capital, and at the request of the Colonial Treasurer the Bill was then reported and put through its final stages. The Bank Shareholders Bill and Bank Note Issue Bill were put through all their I stages without discussion or amendment. The House, which had adjourned at 11,45 p.m. to await) th» return of the Bills from the Upper Chamber, resumed at 4.5 a.m. A message was received from the i Legislative Council to the efiect that the Council had passed their Bank Bills without amendment. Mr Seddon moved that the House do adjoarn. In doing so he said Parliament had risen to tha emergency which had arisen, and he felt sure the Bills that they had passed would be for the good of tha colony which they saved from possible disaster. Mr George Hutchison could not alto gether agree with the Premier, but the responsibility rested with the Govern ment, The House rose at 4.10 a.m. Great interest was taken in the pro ceedings in the Legislative Council throughout tbe passage of the Bills (par ticularly the Bank of New Zealand Share Guarantee Bill, aud up to the tiour of adjournment the galleries in that Cham ber were crowded, the majority of on lookers being merchant*, bankers, and other commercial men.

THE BANK NOTE FORGERY.

Adelaide, June 30.

Among the luggage of the German Nestler were found 7500 notes, which were a remarkably good imitation of Bank of England notes.

The Captain of the Sallier states that Nestler was a passenger with him a few months ago from Germany to New York, and it is ' surmised that he disposed of the five dollar notes on that trip. It was first proposed that police should board the vessel and arrest the man, but as this step opened up the possibility of complications the Consul placed the man under arrest, and he will be kept aboard the ship until leaving Aus tralia.

FOOTBALL.

ASHBURTON HIGH SCHOOL v.

RAKAIA SCHOOL

The above teams met to day at Rakaia, and after a very evenly contested game the home team won by three points to nil. Rakaia had the wind in the first spell, and just before the call of time good play by Hatvey, Bruce, and Reddell, enabled, the latter to score near the corner flag but no goal resulted. In the second spell the High School assumed the aggressive, and some well-timed passing between Steward and Homersham caused a scrimmage to be formed right under the Rakaia goal. More than once the School was within an ace of scoring, and D. Fried lander, pass ing to Purnell, the latter was only brought down within a yard of the line. Harvey at last relieved by a clever punt into touch. A passing rush by the High School followed, and when the whistle sounded a minute afterwards the ball was s' ill in the Kakaia twenty-five. Harvey for Rakaia played the best game of the day, though Purnell for Ashburton ran him vety close. After the match was over both teams went into the schoolroom and sat down to lunch kindly provided by the lady friends of the Rakaia school. As the train moved off, three cheers were given for Mr Thompson, the Kakaia master, for the pleasant game and the hospi tality received from him and other friends. The High School boys are determined to re verse their narrow defeat^ at (he return match to be played in Ashburton three weeks hence.

At the meeting of the Ashburton Chess Club held on Wednesday evening it was resolved to begin a new tourney and drop that recently commenced. It was decided that a small entry fee be charged, to be i devoted to the purchase of a trophy to be I awarded to the winner, who will be allowed to select same.
