HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, September 27 The Bouse met at 2 30 p.m. PUBIIC ACCOUNTS Mr Larnach brought up the report of Public Accounts Committee with refer ence to the seniing of trusb securities to London. Ths report was to the following effect:—" The Committee, after enquir ing into the circumstances o£ sending to London the securities held by the Post Office, Public Truat Office, and Govern ment Life Insurance Department, find that io was not contrary to law for the custodians in the colony to s«n<t the securities to the custodians in London, assuming that the law allowed the ap pointment of custodians outside of the colony. As to this, however, there is a doubt, and such being the case, looking at the necessity from time to time of having to send securities to London for conversion purposes, ifc is desirable that the law should be amended, <*q as to permit custodians in London being ap pointed, as well aa in the colony, proper safeguards being provided meanwhile In respect to aU securi'ies i tiring transit to London. The Committee therefore recommend that legislation be imme diately introduced to place the securities referred to in an undoubtedly safe posi tion." Mr Seddoo stated that Government had had a Bill prepared for some time to give effect to the recommendation of the Com mittee, and the Bill would be introduced forthwith. QUESTIONS. Mr Seddon eaid Government did not propose to anbwer questions that after noon, as it was desired to proceed with the Liquor Bill at once, questions would be taken on Monday night. The Colonial Treasurer was not very well, and if questions were answered to day those affecting his departments would have co be postponed owing to his absence. Mr Mills gave notice to ask the Premier If, to avoid late night sittings, Govern ment would, during the recess, take ir>to consideration the desirability of altering the standing orders to admit of the House meeting each sitting day at 10.30 a.m.— one day during each week to be aeb apart entirely for Committee work. THE LICENSING RILL. The Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Act Amendment Bill was further considered In Committee.

On the motion be'ng pub that £ir Robert Stout/c new clause, to bring hotels under the Shop and Shop Assistants Act, 1894. (which had previously been read a second time) be added to the Bill, The Premier appealed to the Committee to reject ib. on the ground that i!s in?er tlon would jeopardise the s*fe passage of the Bill in another place. The clause was lout by 32 to 16. Mr G. J. Smith moved a new clause to provide that every general election day shall be deemed to be a Sunday within the meaning of bhe Licensing Act. This was lost by 29 to 24 Mr Seddon moved a new clause to pro vide that every day on which the election of the licensing committee and the election for local option and the national poll take place, shall be a public holi day. After some discussion, Mr Seddon agreed to alter his motion, making the day a half-holiday. This wab cirried on the voice?, the licensing election day to be a half-holiday after midday- Mr Seddon then moved that the licensing election day shall be deemed to be a Sunday from midday to 7 pm. This waa carried by 46 to 11. Mi Thomas McKenzie moved to allow elsoiwa who were unaWe to personally attend the polling booth to record their votes, the machinery for which he would indicate if the clause was carried.

Mr Seddon objected to this innovation, as it was an attempt to interfere with the principle-of the ballot box. The clause waa rejected by 25 to 14.

Mr Buick moved a new clause, render- Ing any person found on licensed premises during prohibited hours liable to a penalty, unless his presence Is not a con travention of the Act.

Several members objected to the clause, as being of too drastic"a character. Mr Buick said the Commissioner of Police in his report of 1892 mentioned that some legislation such as this was required, Mr Seddon recognised that somathing should be done in this matter, and ifc was provided for in th* Bill. Ifc should be seen whether this was satisfactory before any more drastic provision waa inserted. The debate waa interrupted by the 5 80 adjournment. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. Mr Buick's new clause was negatived by 28 to 18 Mr Buddo moved a new clause to the effect that a licensee shall have only one bar on his licensed premises

Losb by 31 to 25 Mr Buddo moved a new clause to the effect that a constable may dem%nd the name and address of any person found on licensed premises during prohibited hours, and if a constable has reason to suppose the information given is false, he may apprehend such person without warrant '■'■' Lost'on the voices A new clause was inser c4,on Mr Hone Heke's motion relating to" the issue of prohibition orders against Maoris Nq material alterations were made in the schedules

The Bill was reported with amend ments, which were agreed to A motion by Mr Gfrahaaa that, tha Bill he 'reepmmi'ted in order to reconsider the question of bottle licenses in clause 88, waß lost l-y 31 to 9 The Premier moved to recommit clause 2 in order to decide whether or not the local option poll should be taken on the same day aa the General Election. He said that the House was so evenly divided on this question when it was last before them, that he thought it only right to give members another opportunity of con sidering it The motion was carried after a long debate by 31 to 24

A motion by Mr Hall-Jones to recom mit clause 8 with a view to reconsidering the three-fifths majority provision, was |ort by 33 to 18 ■ On the motion of the Premier the Standing Orders were suspended so that the Bill could fee pat through its final Stages at this sicring The Bill was then recommitted, Mr Jptcq b@|ng temporarily in the ehui?

Oaptain Russell moved that progress be reported as a protest apainst the continual absence from the Housa if the Chairman of Committees rl he Premier defended the Chairman of Committees, and said that the reason he was absent from the House that afternoon was because he was not aware that the Government did nob intend replying to questions, but h« was present- in the build ing at the time. The chairman could no; always be in his place. He also explained rhat Mr Guinness had not been in very good health. After a short discussion Captain Rus sell's motion was lost on the voices

Amendments were made in several of the clauses to provide that the licensing poll be taken on the same day as the General Election, In accordance with the Premier's motion

At 11.10 p.m. the Bill was finally re ported from committee as further amen ded, and the Premier moved the third reading

Mr Hall-Jones said that there was no doubt the Bill was an advance on previous liquor lawc, but he regretted that the Hennaing poll was to be taken on the same day as the General Election, All other questions would then be subservient to that of temperance.

I Mr E. M Smith alao thought a mistake had been made. He objected to the third reading being gone on with so much haste Mr CJ- J. Smith said that it was neces sary in tho interests of bhe safe passage of the Bill at this late stage of the session that the third reading Bhould be tiken that night. He considered that the Bill was an improvement on previous legislation, in the direction of,getting the temperance question settled ty the people. He considered that the principal blot in the Bill was that it did not provide for a bare majority for local and national prohibition Mr Bell expressed the opinion that throughout the Premier had been entirely f'iir to both parties

Mr MoKenzl* (Buller) objected to the provisions making the afternoon of licens ing electif n day a *' Snnday " within the meaning of the Act. He took exception to other provisions

Dr Ne»man regarded the Bill as a fair solution of a very difficult problem, and a distinct! improvement on previous legis lation

Mr Meredith thought that every section of the House should be satisfied with the Bill

Major. Steward looked on the Bill as a very fair solution of the whole question Mr McNab complimented the Premier oa the Bill as it had emerged from com mittee, and admitted that it was a better Bill than he (Mr McNab) had introduced. He had no cause to regret that his own Bill had not been proceeded with

Mr Reeves, Mr La wry, Mr T. McKen zie, and Mr Heke alss spoke '! he Premier, in the course of his reply, said that he believed all parties concerned had done their duty to the country. His honesb conviction was that the Bill would militate against the Government, but they had the consolation of knowing that they had done their duty. The date of the licensing election was a difficult point, but he had always held that the true feeling of the people could only be ascer tained by large polling

The third reading was carried by 45 to 2 (Mr Willis and Mr Mills)

Messrs Willis and Mills explained that they had called for a division so that members might be able to record their votes ; otherwise they would have voted with the ayes

The Bill passed at 12 30, and the House rose till 7-30 p.m. on Monday

Larsen, hulk-keeper, with his wife and four young children, and Holmes, a deck hand, were aboard, A heavy sea which came on board before the vessel sank washed Larsen and Holmes overboard before the eyes of the wife of the former. Though the night was very dark, Mrs Larsen succeeded in signalling the tug that the Gem was about to sink, and the re mainder of those on board were rescued before the vessel foundered.

THE DEAN CASE.

Sydney, September 27 In interviews with Mrs Dean and Mrs Seymour both asserted that they knew the truth would come out, and while they do not wuh to see Dean again in gaol they hope that his guilt will be proved beyond doubt. Mrs Seymour remarked that while she had not always been what she ought, she had to thank God that her conscience was clear.

The chemist mentioned in connec tion with the sale of poison, denies positively that he sold Dean any. Mr Meagher gives his version to the Legislative Assembly on Monday, - ! September 28 Mr Meagher characterises Sir Julian Salamona' assertions as outrageous, and says that his own statement in Parliament will put a different light qh the strange itory,
