Wellington, October 15 The Council met at 2 30 THE LIQUOR BILL Sir Patrick Buckley nx'ved the third reading of the Alcoholic Liquors Bill. He complained that owing to an error m the New Zealatid Times report of his speech on the second reading it had been made to appear tint he was only acting as a mouth piece. He read a leading ar icle from the Lyite'ton Time8 t of October 12, animadver ting on his conduct Sn apologising for Introducing tha Bill. No one coald more sincerely have tried to pass it into law In this statement several Councillors supported Sir Patrick Buckley The Bill was recommitted, and on the motion of Mr Bigg, a new clause added by 16 to 13, providing that no poll shall be valid m any district unlaas at least half of the electors on the roll record their votes Technical amendments m tha Bellamy's clause were made, but the Council deolmed to reconsider the reduction of voting on the proposals Progress was reported PEA FIBHBRIE3 BILL The Sea Fisheries Act Amendment Bill was read * third time and passed SECOND EEAJttNGS The Land and Income Tax Assessment Act Amendment Bill, and the Land for Settlements Bill were read a second time Afc6 p.m. the Council adjourned till 7.80 p.m. The Council resumed at 7.30 p.m. SUPPLY An Imprest Supply Bill for £155,500 passed all Its stages SECOND HEADINGS The following Bills were read a second time without much debate : —The Stock Act Amendment Bill, the Water Supply Act Amendment Bill, the Foreign Insur ance Companies Deposits Amendment Bill, and the Public School Teachers In oorporatios and Court of Appeal Bill Mr Montgomery moved the second read ing of the Bating on Unimproved Values Bill Mr Bowen moved that the Bill be read a second time that day sis months After Mr Pharassyn had spoken against the Bill, tba debate was adjourned Th.B Council rose at 9.40 p m.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, October 15 The House met at 2 30 p m. 3HEW BILLS Eleven new Bills were introduced and read a first time. The Premier said that. these Bills were for the greater part Bioiply of a technical character, the necessity for their introduction having arisen daring the progress of the business. Other of the Bills had been pressed on the Government by a large number of members* notably the Beetroot Sugar Bill. It was only courtesy tha*j the Government should give an opportunity for the discussion of these Bills. The Beetroot Sugar Bill involved no new principle, but if members opposed it, it would have to be dropped. He did not think these Bills would prolong the gesalon very mack STATS Of THK BUSINESS Captain Russell asked the Premier to give the House some indication aa to when the Government intended to close the session The Premier said that he had been working nighb and day m order to get the work into a forward stats, but; members would not go on with the business expeditiously. h all depended on mem bers thfmaelves when they would get away. He thought the session ought to elope at the latest about that day fortnight. Ihe JKnblic Works Statement would bo brought down on Friday night, and the debate would take plice on Tuesday BEETROOT BUGAK BILL On the motion for the introduction of the Beetroot Sugar Bill, Captain Russell and several other members opposed this coarae, and objected to succeed ing Governments being bound down for fifteen years to pay a bonus of £d per 1b on locally grown tugar The Premier and others defended the Bill Mr Ward ?aii that it had been re?n stated on the Order Paper at the written request of thirty-one members of the House, some of whom were now opposing the action taken by the Government. He could tell the House that the Govern ment would be careful how they treated such requisitions m future. There was every reason to believe that beefc could be successfully grown m New Zealand, and the sugar industry would open up a large avenue of employment The Introduction of the Bill was agreed to by 38 to 25, and the Bill was read a first time IMP&EST SUPPLY BILL An Imprest Supply Bill for £155,500 was introduced and read a first time On the motion for the second reading Dr Newman atked whether any of the money was to be expended en the Mid land Railway. He contended thai; the seizure of the line by the Government was illegal The Premier objected to a review of this matter m the face of the arbitration proceedings. He referred to a publish pd statement that the Agent-General had taken legal advice at Home, and thab it had been adverse to the action of the Government. This statement, ha said, was absolutely and wholly Incorrect, and was probably a device of the enemy. The proof of the security of the position of the Government lay m the fact that the obmpany dared not face the Supreme Goijrt. The £5000 authorised by the House for expenditure on the line was m cosmo oi being expanded, and the work Tfas going on. Sir Robert Stout said that, m view of the arbitration pre ceedings it was not de sirable that the matter should be discussed now. He contended, however, that a resolution of the House waa not sufficient authority for the expenditure of money on the line. A special Acfc wa« necessary Considerable discussion took place m Commifctee on the Bill m regard to the treatment of sinking funds, Another de bats on the same subject took place on the third reading of the Bill. Eventaally the Bill passed its final stages The House roge. $ 5,30 n.»« Tht ij-ouse resumed at 7.30 p.m. - THE TAKIFF BILL Mr Ward moved th,afc the amendments ipde by the Governor's Message m the Customs and Excise Bptiea Bill be agreed tq He explained that these amend ments w©ra simply omissions which had occurred dating the passage of the Bill through the House Sir Robert Stout moved to strike out the portion of the clause fixing a 5 per cent duty on dairying and mining machinery. Such machinery, he said, could b§ ma4e |n tb,e colony, ajid the old fcaritf of 2$ per cent on this class of niachlnery should be adhered to m schedulelß comprising the free list $fr Wafd poved several amend peefs, including a new item * machinery far gold-saving purpose*? d,xxi pro ceegeg,' These amendments were agreed to by ii to 5 LANB AND INCOME TAX Mr Ward m >ved the second reading of the Land Tax end Income Tax Bill to Impose the land and income tax for the year. He said that the Bill was the usual one, and there was no variation m the rate The motion was agreed to aad the Bill oOj«mitteci ' Qlmm $•—!> ate uf payment of Us

I Mr Montgomery moved fchab the 1 Ur.d tax te c >'it'cted nnfc earlier than the Ist Nowmho-, IS°IS, and the income (ax not c,i, iuu- than the 31st J'iiuaiy 189tj , Mr Ward *isaid that jj-, waß not de sirable to tie the hands of tho Treasurer m this way and th« Govermnent must exercise their judgment m matters of this kind After considerable discussion Mr j Montgomery's amendment was lost by '29 o 26 An amendmani) by Dr Newman that the dates be Ist December and 31*t January respectively was lost by 32 to 18 A motion by Captain Huseell that where the land tax is above £20 It be collected m two instalments and not prior to January lab, 1896, was losft by 36 to 20 The Bill was reported without amend ments and pat through its final stages LOAN CONVERSION Mr Ward moved the second reading of the Loaal Authorities Loans Conversion Bill which he explained would enable local bodies to make better arrangements for carrying on their finance. Ac present a large number of local bodies ware paying higher rares of interest than they could afford and by converting their loans under the Bill they would be afforded consider able relief. He should propose m Com mittee to bring all harbour boards m the colony under this Bill, which would mate a greab difference to their financial posi tion by enabling them to take advantage of a low rate of interests Mr Diitoie said that he was opposed to the whole scheme, and thought that it would strike a great blow ac local institu tions Mr Bell thought the Bill might be useful if the Treasurer would not bribe local bodies by offering them the released sinking fund Mr Montgomery thought the conver sion scheme was a very feasible one, but he differed from the Treasurer m the way he proposed to dispose of the sinking fund. Sir K. Stouft agreed as to the advisable ness of having one general Ace under j which all local bodies could convert their | loans, bub he objected to several of the details cf the measure The second reading was agreed to The House rose at 2 a.m.

THE DEAN CASE.

§urren«ler of the Missing- Man Another Confession by JDeaia Sydney, October 15 Green, the fourth man wanted in the Dean case, hia surrendered him self. He went to the house of Mr Hill, a solicitor, eaHy this morning, and on his advice accompanied him to the police station He was remanded to Thursday on a charge of conspiring i to defeat the ends of justice. He was also remanded on a similar charge in another case. He had not been out of town since the warrant was issued, having hidden himself in a house in the, heart of the city. He told Mr Hill h© wanted the whole of the facts brought out in order to clear his character, He had never been in Crick's or Meagher's employ. All he had to do with tho secret of Dean's guilt was on the day when Meagher was going off" to town he said he had told Sir Julian Salomons about it, and the latter seemed inclined to bring the whole thing out. Meagher agked Green to go and see Dean, and *»" '' to look out nn* *- --n aim I - .... ace the chemist. He took a note from Dean to Smith, also a verbal message asking the chemist to abut up about the poison. That was the first and all he knew about the matter. It is understood that Dean has com municated with the authorities with 8 view of making another and fuller con fession. Green failed to obtain the bail de manded, viz., £3000.
