In return for this concession th«> Honse had given way on fome minor detail?. H« did not expect to get such a concession from the Council, jwid if it had not been accepted it meant dropping thb Bill Sir Robert Stout complained that the Council had again excised the provision bringing hotel bars within the meaning of the Acb The report was adopted SIR WALTER BUILER The Speaker said he had received a letter from Sir Walter Buller, asking bim to lay on the table of the House a memorandum fn reply to that of bhe Solicitor General on the subject of law coats.

3,' HE REf'IPROpITY BILp The freWier moved bhab' tho Cusboms Duties Recip-oplty Bill be reinsbated oh pho Qvsev Paper, and nour read a gecond jirfte, He said tftat bhe Ciovernment in. bended te .onfine the operations of the Bill to South Australia and abandon the Canadian agreemenb for the present. They had also decided bo hold over con sideration of the subsidy for the Van couver service nntil next year, as that service must go hand in hand with reciprocity. The House had hurriedly thrown ottfc the Billon the second read ing, but'he hoped th.t th:y would now give fair consideration to the agreement between the Treasurer and Premier of South Australia,

Captain 'Ruasel,! opposed the motion. |J. was ;aniiou9' for intercolonial free trade, bub 'thought that the proposed treaty would impede true reciprocity by giving rise bo j Valouslea ' ;Mr y(»rd -declared thab the South Australian" treaty had been rejected on a former occai-ion because ib was attached to the Canadian agreement Dr Newman declared that South Australia did not appear likely to ratify the treaty judging by the manner in which bhe question had bee*, discufijed i ia% Willis objected to grapes and wine being imported ifree, bub-Would vote for the second reading cf the Bill

Mr Montgomery apoke in favour of bhe Unr, and Mr Duthie against ib "_«ir \i Stout' thought thab the treaty might interfere with some Imperial treaty, and thab it was Undesirable to diverb trade _rom Victoria and New South Vyales. ffffdsi fith tj^ese G.olouii£j would'be more advantageous" to Nevy Zealand Mr Cf. W- Rp:ell protected against the *§}ntrQdug'ion in view of the fact that pevetal opponents of the measure had gone home

air iWvts said that the Government were not trying to reverse the vote of the Other night, which was taken, on the double Bill. Since then the government fka^f. received assurances that a great part ; of 'the opposition to the measure was directed to the Canadian treaty. The previous vote was really a catch one The second reading was carried by 35 to 14 MINING Blp,. It was reported that the second con ference on the Mining Act Amendment Bill had arrived at a compromise under which the clause exempting the Hauraki district from bhe operations cf bhe Act, was struck oub IN COMMITTEE Tho Public Trust Office Consolidation Acb Amendmenb Bill passed through com mittee with minor amendments The Deceased Persons Estates Duties Amendtaeht Bilj was committed.—-Clause 3 was amended to provide that the limit of exemption from duty should be £300 a year

The Cost: Ira Dutiee Reciprocity Bill «ras cmomibtf d Sir R. Strut mr v d ilah the chairman leavo ihe ch^'r nn the R;jl The motion was lost .• y 30 to 14 Sir Robert Stout mt ved to alter the title from Customs Duiies Reciprocity Bill to South Australian Reciprocity Bill After considerable disscussion this was lost by 26 to 16 and the schedules of the Bill were altered by placing half duty on South Australian wine, and striking out fresh fruit; Under the agreemenb as I altered, the goods admitted duty free by j South Australia are barley, oats, horses and hops; and New Zealand admits duty free olive oil, salt, and dried fruiis, and m^kes a fifty per cent concession in the duty on wine. All the references to the Canadian treaty in the Bill were struck out on the voices. Clause 7, which pro vided thab a reciprocal agreement might be made with any British possession, was amended by the excision of the words

'or British possessions,' the 'clause as amended providing that an amendment could only be entered into with New South Wales or any other Australian colony

At 4 30 the House went into Committee on the Census Act Amendment Bill

Sir Robert Stout moved that the Chair man leave the chair, which was lost by 20 to 19

Dr Newman immediately afterwards moved to report progress, which was carried by 20 to 19

' The K-ihu Valley Railway Extension Bill paased through Committee without amendment. The Abattoirs and Slaughter houses Act Amendment Bill was slightly amended In Committee, The Truck Act Amendment Bill was committed. On clause 3, providing that no deduction shall be made from wages for insurance policies, it being contended that where the deducting was voluntary no objection should be made, Mr Reeves said the law at present im posed a certain amount of liability upon employers, and ib was to proteofc his pockeb from this liability thab the deductions were made. As to deductions being volantary, workmen dare nob hold out against the wishes of the employers. Mr Montgomery moved an adJitlon to the clause to provide that no deduction of wages should be made for insurar.ce against accident "for whioh an employer ia liable to pay compensation." This was lost by 25 to 12,

Mr Seddon moved a new clause that nothing in this or any previous Act should apply to Government offices, which was sarried by 21 to 16.

All the Biils which passed through Committee during the sitting were then pub through their final stages without further debate. _

A memorandum by Sir W, Buller, in reply to the Solicitor-General's memor andum, was laid on the table of the Hou«e by Sir Robert Stout, and at 7,45 am the House adjourned till 10a,m.

Wellington, October 31 The House resumed at 10 a.m. The Appropriation Bill waa introduced and read a second time in Committee SINKING FVNDS Sir Robert Stout moved a new clause to the efiecb that the Sinking Funds of loans under the G;vernm<mt Loans to Local Bodies Act shall be maintained, and all debentures issued under the presumed authority of (ha Consolidation of Stock Act, 1891 shall be redeemed by the treasury out of funds voted, or hereafter to be vottd for such purpose Messrs Seddon and Ward strongly opposed the clause, fhe law officers had advised Government that (he Sinking Funds transaction was stri.tly legal, and the Auditor-General had approved of it.

Customs Reciprocity.

Sydney, October 30 The Herald, commenting on the rejection of the New Zealand-South Australia treaty by tht? New parliament, says:—Th the larger , interests of the colony it is well that failure has overtaken the attempt at I these little arrangements, which! i&igiit j have been rajaQhievous whether they continued, long in force or not. It could easily be foreseen that two, colonies producing so many things in, j ep.mrao i n could not get a basis of | exchange to warrant reciprocal treaties. The inevitable conflict between identi cal Interests would result, and irrita tion would be set up wibh other colonies that aro more important cus [ tomers to New Zealand. The practical result of the treaty must have been mischievous. This TdcarapH adopts a simili-ir tone, 'and adds that if the treaty had been carried it would have shut out two colonies from the Customs union on federal lines, ancl ( bred nothing but ill-f^eUng,
