HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House met at 7 30 p.m. The Pahlic Works Statement was laid on the table by the Premier who said that he proposed to take the debate on it next; evening iA* Tl> FOB S .TTLEMENT BILT.. A message was received to the effect that the Legislative Council insisted on its amendments in the Land for Settle ments Act Amendment Bill, and the Hon. Mr McKenzle, Mr Buddo, and Mr Dun can were appointed Managers to repre sent the House at a Conference on the points in dispute. UQUOR BILL. The Premier brought up the report of , the Managers at the Conference with the Legislative Counc'l on the Alcoholic Liquors Sale Control Bill, which was to the effect that no arrangement had been arrived at. lit moving the adoption of the report, the Premier said that when lie moved for a Conference he had hoped that a- settlement might be effected, but in this he was disappointed. The repre- : uentatives of the Council refused to give way on several important points. He re ferred in detail to various clauses on which difference of opinion existed. The Council's Managers would not give way on fche question of national option, and were very firm in refusing to allow that to be submitted to the people. The Council also refused to sllow clubs to be brought under the Act, and hie opinion was that the House should not concede this principle. The Managers for the Council were responsible on the whole, hut they ware not reasonable with respect to the Club clause. If the House stood to its principles by declaring that the people must have control of the liquor traffic, that w»e all they could do this session. He was afraid that they could do nothing further in the matter thia session.

Sir Robert Stout &ail thafc there were now only two points of difference between the House and the Council, namely the national option poll and clubs, and he thought the House might accept the rest of the Bill and leave these two issues for next eeesion. He moved as »n amend ment —"That a message be senb to the Legislative Council, sating that if the Council will waive its amendments on all subjects except the national option vote and cluba, and the new clause as to in spectors, the House will consent to the other amendments made in the Bill.

Mr Earnßhaw seconded the amendment

The Premier said that the club question was a mO6t danszerous one to concede, and if they gave way on national option they would be told that they were not sincere in their desire to secure that principle. He intended to bring down the Bill again next year, and if he could not pass it then he should do so fche following year.

Mr George Hutchison thought another conference should be asked with the

Dr Newman asked whether the Pre jnier intended to bring in a Bill this session to prevent the transference of licenses beyond a certain distance The Premier replied in the affirmative MrG. W. Russell said that they should accept what they could get and h ave the national option and club question till next session

Mr G. J. Smith opposed the amend ment, as he considered that the Council wished to deprive the House of its rights

Captain Russell hoped the House would consent to the appointment cf another conference. He considered that the Premier's action now over this Bill tended to show that he had b en a wolf in sheep's clothing in regard to it. He deprecated the Premier's constant threats against the Legislative Council, anri said that as Premier it was his first du'y to nphold tha Constitution as It existed 4fter a long debate the House divided on the Premier's motion that the report bo adopted and lie on the table. A tie resulted- ayes 32, noes 32

In order that an opportunity might be ' given for further consideration of the question the Speaker gave his casting vote in favour of the noes, and declared the motion loet On Sir B. Stout's amendment being put as the substantive motion, Mr Tanner moved as an amendment that another conference be asked for with the Legis lative Coucoil, and ihab Mr Saundsrs, Mr Ball, Mr G. W. Rusaell, and the mover be Managers to r« p eeent the Lower House

The Premier said he had no objection to another conference being askud for, but he could n,t consent to the Mangers proposed by Mr Tanner it was no use appointing members as Managers who had openly expressed their intention of giving way on the Council's amendments respecting national option and clubs. He aeked that Mr Tanner's amendment be separated The motion asking for another confer ence was put and carried on the voices Mr Tanner proposed as managers Mr Saunders, Mr Bell, Mr Q. W. Russell, and the mover

The Premier moved as an amendment the names of Mr Hall-Jones, and Me W. Hutchison instead of Mr Tanner and Mr Russell Mr Belt declined to act After ' considerable discussion It was finally decided that the Managers to re present the House be Mr Saunderp, Mr Tanner, Mr Hal!-Jones, Mr McNab and Mr W. Hutchison I MORNINS SITTINGS. The Premier gave notice to move that #se House meet at 11 a.ra on Wednesday §md succeeding daye, Ppripg the diswsigji which fallowed

Mr Bell seated his intention of moving the statutory resolution in connection with the Bank agreement, and he would con sult the PremieiVj convenience as to when n^ would bring this motion on. The Premier asked the honourable member to jjive notice of the resolution to-morrow, hv d it c uld be brought on for debate on Wednesday. Mr Bells motion is *• That this House dissents from the contract made between the Bank of New Zealand and Colonial, Bank upon the grounds (1) that the con tract is not such as is required by section 36 of the Bank of New Zealand and Banking Act j (2) that sufficient informa tion is not contained in the contract or supplied to the House to enable it to de termine whether the contract will be ad vantageous to the Bank of New Zeaaland or to the colony; (3) that the House is not informed whether any and if so what part, of the agreed price is estimated for the goodwill: (4) thit the contract itself dieclosf s matters which apparently make it undesirable that the House should en dorse its terms,"

The debate on the resolution is to be taken on Wednesday. At 12.3(3 toe House adjourned till 2.30 to-morrow.

On looking through the by-laws, I find there ia no definite powtr given to the Council to compel the removal of any building that might be erected contrary to the regulation. The suggestion made by the borough solicitor In "hi* letter mig'it, I would suggest, be carried out so as to secure this object.

A Mine of Fire

. «l Sydney, October 21 The fire in block XL, which was supposed to have been extinguished, has found its way to the 150 foot level o? block X., which is now alight. Sydney, October 22 A large area has subsided in the levels where the fire is located, There have been indications for some time that it was approaching from block XL, but it was thought the barriers erected would prevent fche invasion. The fire is supposed to have made its way through under ground fishures. All the available force is engaged fighting it, and immense quantities of water are j being poured in. The latest official j reports state that the fire is confined ' to a small section on the boundary of block XI, and the manager is very hopefql that he will be able to prevent j it spreading. The outbreak has had a very depressing effect on shares in block X, which fell from 75s to 6:s. They have since slightly recovered. Shares in other mines in the vicinity have also been considerably afteeted.

The annual Presbyterian re-union will be held in the Drill shed tn Thursday evening next. This is the only gathering of the kind daring the year in connection with this church and the catering being as formely in the handsjof the lady members no doubt the affair will again be the suc cess it has always been, The Infantry volunteers of Canterbury are to be again constituted a battalion, and it is fco be hoped that this improve ment in their organisation may be the means of a corresponding improvement in their efficiency. The battalion will con sist of eleven companies—six in North Canterbury, the Engineers (acting as infantry for the time being) the Christ church City Guards, Christ's College, Christcharch City, Kaiapoi and Rangiora Rifles ; and 6ve in South Canterbury, the Timaru Navais (acting as infantry for the time being) and the Temnka, Ash burton, Timaru and Waimate Rifles.

Balmoral has over 12,010 skins, and all hands are yet gathering wool. Cowan's T^kapo, Flope's Richmond, and Rutherford's Mistake runs are clean swept—scarcely a sbeep to be seen, Glentar.ner has cl>s« on 2000 skins, and probibly another 2000 dead out of 10,000 ; Arthur Sutherland's Birch Hill, over 4000 dead ont of less than 6000. Half the run was mastered last week, and only 75 aheep were get. Rhoboro Downs has 4000 skins oub of 10,000 ; Ben Ohau. much the same ; Ben more baa over 10,000 skins, which means 20,000 dead. Lower down towardsßurke's Paas, the losses are quite as he-wy ; while up the Waitaki, from Morven Hills to Station Peak, the loss is so preafc ttat fewer shearers and other hands are to be put on this year.
