land were looked op, and the company had only spent one-fifth of the tota! amount required for the construe) i^n of the line. He contended, therefore, thai ' the company was practically bankrupt, and unable to go on with the line. Th< Government did not propose that the resolution should be a portion of a great loan policy, but they intended to place a certain atnotnt on the Estimate? for the construction of the line aa far as the Go vernment coald g.i. Captain Russell complained that the Premier had not got the grasp of the position, The House had not sufficient information before It, an«l the national honour of the colony being concerned he (Captain Russell) should ask the House to postpone consideration of the question tili affiwr the Public Works Sratement had ! been brought down. If the House agreed to the Premiers resolution they wonid probably be committing the colony to an expenditure of £2,000.000. and dire con fusion nvght prsu . He did no wish tn proceed with the argument, whether if was def-irablfl or not to proceed with the construction of th» line, but it, seemed to him that, the Governmnnt might be compelled to complete the line involving £2;OOO,0OO. In order, therefore, to give more time, he move<t as an amendment that consideration of the question of the MiWlnmi Railway be deferred until after ».h« Pmlic Works Statement has been brought down. Sir Robert Stout thought that th« Go vornment did li^ht m taking possession of the line. It was not. a question be tween the Midland Railway Company and the Government. The sola question wae whether the Government were to coitimer.ee and complete tha, line < at-a C'Nt of £2,000,0(30 Hia opinion was ihat anyone who voted for the Premier's resolution voted for the construction of the line forever hereafter. Ihere could be no objection to delaying the matter till after the Public Woi ks Statement had been brought down. They were asked by a sort of trick to agree to this £6000 for the construe ion of the line, and if they voted for it- the House and the colony were bound to const ruot this line what ever it cost. The Premier m speaking tn the amend ment said that it was simply bur»kam to say that the House was committing the colony to £2,000,000, and Sir Robert Stout dared not say that it was optional of the Government whether it would go era with the Ht.e or not. The contract for the construction of the line was entered Into when Sir Robert Stoat was Premier. (Sir Eobert Stonfc : " Not this contract.") Uhe Premier contended that the colony had acted more than honourably with' the company. If they hesitsted now it meant further pressure and further trouble ; and If they wished to land the colony m ex pensive litigation let them procrastinate. He asked the House to vote for his resolution on national grounds alone. Dr Newmaa altogether objected to the Premiev'a) resolution on the ground that it committed tha colony to £2,000,000. Mr Guinness thought that Sir R Stout had attempted to throw dust m the eyes of the members. The voting of th;s money was not authorising the construc tion of the whole line, and he saw ho reason for the postponement of the question. The Government having takt n possession of the line, were boan.s to do sometMrg towards its extension, Mr Allen thought that the advocacy of Mr Guinness frhould rnako the House vety careful of its vote as Mr Guinness would not be contmttd with anything less than the completion of the line. Jf the Howe pisred the resolution they would be much nearer to a large lea a than they thought. Mr G- W. Russell H*»id that as a Can terbury member he would have to oppose Captain Russell's amendment; Ha thought that the Government should obtain possession of the land %■ ants as soon as possible. Mr Earn?haw thought that no harm would ensue by delaying this matter, and warned the Otago and northern members that if the memhers voted for tl.is resolu tion they would strike a serious blow at their own distric s. Mr Reeves said that the clritf attack on th« Government and the Premier was that £5000 was being asked for to ensure the making of the Midland line. He wished it w»'T« co, as he wrb anxious to have that line constructed. There was every prospect that; the Government wonid get a return of the me my, and on that ground it would be a good invest m< nt» The Government wanted to get some ( f those million acres that were at present locked up by the company, and the only wiy they could do so wal* by taking pos session of th* line He thought that, to put New Zea'and m a position to carry on this great work by expending £5000 was a very mild proposal. The Government had the strongest pwslble opinion th"*t this would not improve the position of the debenture-holders m the lean. He stoutly denied that this vote meant the construction of the whole line. Mr Button thought that the Govern in ~nt had acted rightly m taking posses sion of the line, but he cours lied a little delay m regard to the proposed roe. Mr Montgomery believed 'hat the i Midland Railway would never be a success, no matter whether completed by the Government or the company. He sh u'd vote against both resolution and amendment, Mr Bell, m opposing the resolution, said that the Government could not possibly have advice that tho expenditure of thia £5000 would eff^c* the unlocking of the lands spoken cf. Mr Graham and Mr R. McKcnzie spoke m support of the Premier's resolu'ion, and Mr Fraser and Mr Crowther against ft* The debate was adjourned uufcil 2.30 to morrow, the Premier agreairg ro allow private members' bilis to be taken on Friday. The House rose at 12.35 a.m.

Imperial Parliament.

London, July 1 The remaining Ministers were re elected unopposed. The efforts of the i to delay tht dissolution are ; fizzling out. i < July 2. Mr Brodrick, on whose motion the Rosebery Government «rere defeated, will be Under Secretary for War; Mr Long, PreaideDt of the Board of Agri culture, and Mr Gerald Balfour will probably be Secretary for Ireland. Mr Chamberlain receives the Agents- General to day. The Unionist Press urge the Go vernment to pass the Factory Bill. The Times says Mr Chamberlain hopes to further the interests ol Canada and Australia by the development of commercial and other intercourse. He is keenly interested m the maintenance Britain's position m the Pacific. If he inaugurates a new era of Imperial initiative and mutual co-operation, it will be with the fullest recognition of the principle of local Government as applied to the colonies.

THE DEAN COMMISSON.

Sydney, July 2 The Dean Oommis&ion report has been laid on the table of the House. The medical members of the Com mission hold that the facts are quite as compatible with the hypothesis that Mrs Dean, for reasons which can be enly surmised, and by methods of which she alone hag cognisance, ad ministered arsenic to herself, possibly at the promptings of her mother, and without any intention of taking a fatal dose, as that the poison was ad ministered by her husband with intent to kill. The President adds a minority re port. His opinion ia that it is un reasonable to suppose that a girl on the threshold of Jife would risk her existence by taking a deadly poison for the purpose, of bringing a false charge against her husband. On this ground he did not concur with the opinion of his colleagues.

ALLEGED SLANDER ON A PARLIAMENT.

Adelaide, July 2 It is understood that Honeywell, a business man, and Bouython, the pro prietor of the Advertiser, will be sum moned to the House m connection with an interview with Honeywell, with regard to the Early Closing Bill m which the latter said he considered many members of Parliament were rogues and the House generally a re fuge for the destitute. j The language used last Sunday by | the Bey. Mr Platt may also claim consideration, He said ;— -" We are j making parliamentary institutions a j hissing and a byeword, and bringing things to that pass when men shrug their shoulders at the name of Parlia ment." He also said that there are some men m Parliament who plainly show that they are fitted for nothing so much as for dishonouring it, and that some of the language used m debate would come trippingly from a Billingsgate oyster woman m the time of Bolingbroke.

The Titnaru Herald reports that the funeral of the late Rev. Mother Mair, Lady Superior nf the Convent of the J Scored Heart, took place on Monday afternoon. The service m the Convent Chapel occupied about three-quarters of an hour, and then a solemn procession conveyed the deceas d'n remains to the little private oemeteiy ia the ground?. The procession was headed by about 120' school children, the girls wearing, some white, some black, veils. Then came the "iatere of the two bchools, the clergy, and the Bishop reciting the processional set vice. Nexh c*jae the d ffin, borne by six of the parishioners, then the Church fficers and the Hibernians, followed by a 'Co siderable concourse of the congregation of both sexes. There w»a a large gather ing to pay the last tribute of respect to the deceased lady. Te Korero introduced a somewhat novel element for Ashburton into thtir enter tainment on Tuesdiy evening, m the shape of a mock banquet. Tables were arranged ia thj orthodox style, and to enable the guests to have something t-übstan iai to operate with, some benefi cient fiiries had provided cakes and lemonade, and other colored bub harmless liquids. Everything was done m the regular way. There was the chairman (of course), Mr E. Saunders, the guest of the evening, Mies Mcfftt, of Otago, and toasts were entrusted to various members of the company, some of them being ladies, and the necessary speeches were very creditably given. It would be individious to particularise, but special reference may be made to Mr S. Salek's exceedingly clever and humorous speech m proposing the commercial and agricul tural interests. He had prepared at) astonishingly loag list of figures, which were paited on long strips of paper, and which the speaker was continually draw ng from various pockets, with a manner perfectly imperturbed by the laughter and comments of the company. Various songs were given during the evening, and Auld tnng Syne and God Save the Q aeen cloatd the entertainmant. There is good reason, for the popularity of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Davis & Buz trd, of Weat Monterey, Clari«n Co, Pa, say : it has cured people »h%t our physicians cou'd do nothing for. We persiudel them to try a bottle of Cnamb rlain'a Caugh rem p.dy and they now recommend it with the rest of u». For sale by the Ashburton Drug Co.
