The Prohibitionists.

X»«-3»Dt»ilon to the ■■remtor

The Premier was interviewed on Thursday afternoon by a large deputation from the Temperance Convention, in reply to whom he said that the Government could not take up Mr McNab's Bill. They would bring down a short amending Bill of their own, which would provide for the abolition of the one-half maiety required to make the poll valid. This tempeiance question was inseparable from general politics, and he thought that the vote for local and colonial option should be taken on the same day as fchs Parliamentary elections. That would be provided for in the Government Bill ; in faot, up to clause 13, the Bi 1 of this year would be the aarae as that of last year. The Government would adhere to the three fifths majority, on the ground that a reform that was to stand must have more than a bare majority. However, they would hold to the provision that a three-fifths majority be required to reverse a prohibition vote. Ihe Government could nofc undertake to (rive apodal facilities for the passage of Mr McNab's Temperance Bill. Mr T. E. Taylor brought under the Premier's notice the resolutions passed at the Temperance Convention in regard to the poJice administration of the laws of the colony. Strong complaint was made of the administration of Inspector Broham and the police in Chri&tcburch, and the Convention asked that a Commission be appointed to make a searching enquiry into the matter. The Hon. Mr Reeves said that many of the charges were entirely new to him. The Premier emphatically declined to appoint a Commission. To do so would be an insult to many police officials throughout the colony, who had done faithful service to , the country. The Premier replied seriatim j to the charges made against the police in various parts of the colony.

London, July 3

The quantity of wheat and flour afloat for the United Kingdom is 3,620,000 quarters, and for the Continent 1,490,000 The estimated American visible supply of wheat is 43,600,000 bushels. Eighty of the. Perthshire's cattle have been sold privately. Those killed brougkl s§d to Js|d. At the wool Bales the opening rates were fully maintained. Lower grade cross* breds are especially sought-, and have risen 15 per cent. T^ere is also strong competi tion for better data merinos. Borne and American buyers are the chief operators. The strong tendency of the market is due to the Americans buying so freely. German and French buyers, especially the latter, have done almost nothing, but it is expected that they will operate shortly. Bayßwater (New Zealand) brought 9§d per Ib. Sydney, July 4 Mr Lowe, Weddel't butter expert, has arrived in Sydney, bringing samples of Danish and Swedish butter. Compared with the Iccally-roade article he considers that if the latter is landed in condition it would find plenty of wiilißg and anxious buyers at prices entirely satisfactory to shippers. The sheep sales were continued to-day. There was a large attendance and prices were in buyers' favour. The catalogue con sisted almost entirely of Taemanian flock tame, which averaged about two guineas, some selling as low as half a guinea a piece. It most, however, be explained that mar-y of these selected rams are for inferior sire' purpose?. Good sheep commanded fair prices. _____________

New South Wales Politics.

Sydney, Jaly 4 The Council has passed the Loan Bill. Both Houses will clear up the remaining business to-day, and probably prorogue and dissolve to-morrow. When the Legislative Council met this afternoon, the Hon. Mr Want sought as he explained, by courtsey, to read a series ol resolutions dealing with the reform of that chamber. It was, he said, proposed to lay them on the table and then move that they be printed. This summary proceeding brought down a storm of opposition, but after some warm language Mr Want gained his point, whereupon Sir Julian Salomons moved that they be not received and resorded in tha pro peedingg of the Housp. He pointed put that to, place the resolutions pn the records would be affirming the inamier |n which Mr Want had sprung starting proposals on them, which was a high offence against their honor, power and cjignifcy Sir J. Salomon's inotiqn was carried by 41 to 3, the latter being Hiessrs Want, Garran and Campbell. Jn addition to the points previously noted, the resolutions seelf fo abolish the present life tenure, but the present members are eligible for reappointment. The Council is to be divested of power either to amend or reject Appropria tion or Supply Bills. It is also pro posed that if any Bill is not returned by the Council within a month it may, by resolution of the Legislative Assembly, be submitted for the Royal assent. The Council is given power to ajnend bu£ not reject taxation pro ppsals or Bills providing for the authorisation^ of public- works or tlie Raising of loans. SypsfiY, Jnly q $he Council finally passed the Lp,an Bill* after striking out items amounting to £328,000. The Premier moved to lay it aside,, saying Government would try to minimise the distress of the people as far as they could, and it would only be the matter of a few weeks before they were back again. Sir G. R. Dibba left the House before the division came on, amid cries of " cocktail " and " turncoat." The motion was adopted unani mously. The Premier then bade fare well to the House, thanked his sup port©*"^ and hoped to see them in the Parliament. The House adjourned with cheers for reform and the Premier, , While Mr Reid was speaking, » number of Councillors crowded the galleries and kept up a run ning fire of loud adverse com ment. The House got very excited, and demanded their removal. Finally the Speaker ordered the galleries to be cleared, and the Council lor shad to leave amid cries of ' clear the fossils out.' It is expected^ the dissolution pro clamation wil| be issued to t -d4y^ The }deapf holding the election on a Satur day has been abandoned, as it will interfere with and many working people voting.
