FEDERATION.

Perth, September 21 The Parliamentary Committee con siders that the essential amendments m the Commonwealth Bill should include power to divide the colony into electorates, for the purpose of electing senators, the right of the Federal Parliament to construct rail ways, that Wast Australia be given th 9 : right for five years, after the imposition of uniform duties, to impose customs on importations from other States m the Commonwealth and all places beyond.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, September 22 The House met at 2.30 p m FIRST READING The Oamaru Endowment Lands Resump tion for Mining Bill was introduced and read a first time. THE WRIGG SOANDAL The debate on the question of granting the New Zealand cross to Wrigg was resumed. Mr G. Hutchison traced the history of the affair, pointing out that after the defence department had refused to grant the distinc tion political influence was brought to bear upon the Government), who gave way to the pressure. Mr Dothio deprecated the attack made by the Premier on one of the holders of the New Zealand cross. The person referred to had worthily earned the distinction, and his whole life had been an exemplary one. Mr Fisher said the people of the country were as Bick of the Wrigg case as they were of the marine scandal, and hoped the ques tion would be settled, and then parliament could devote itself to more important press ing business. Mr Field denied being ftotnated m the slightest degree by party spirit m the decision he had come to m regard to the matter, and also denied that it was intend to cast a reflection upon the Government. Mr Rolleßton characterised the granting, m dwifiance °f the * ftWf °* one oi the highest distinct'ooß that could be granted to a military .<nan M degrading, »nd a. great im- Mr Meredk 1*1 BSBerte^ fcnafc *ne <l«e»*ion had now assumt, d. a PPu r.B y P"6/ character, and w*s now used ™rely for the purpose of trying to m jure the government. Mr Berries said thav m^. Bettle™ m !*• district through which wrigg rode with despatches daily encou^ erc<* dangers similar to those incurred by WriSS »nd thought nothing of it. ... Mr Morrison, while believicg now fc. hat Wrigfij was not entitled to the jW orßtl?nt said Government was justified m gr*^*ll^ the honor from the evidence put before i-'. Mr Monk had commenced to speak *n disparagement of the award when he was interrupted by the 5 30 adjournment. Th« House met at 7.30 ADVANCES Xa SETTLERS The Advances to Settlers Act Amendment \ Bill was further considered m committee. Mr G. Hutchison moved an amendment on clause 2, which provides that the rate of interest should be reduced to 4& per cent, provided it be promptly paid. The amend ment m effect proposed to reduce the rate of interest, irrespective of whether or not the interest be paid promptly. The Premier opposed the amendment contending that it was not fair to those who paid promptly that others who did not do so should be placed upon an equal footing.
