The mover adversely oritioiaed tbe administration of this Act.

The Minister of Agriculture, defending the administration, said thab large estimates must be broken up for progressive settle* merit, and promised all information in the returns about to be presented. The motion was 'talked out,' and the Oounoil roee at 5 p m»

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wellington, August 20

The House met at 10.30 a m Mr Guinness took the chair, In the un avoidable absence of tho Speaker. A question was tabled by Mr Flatman, asking the Premier If he would introduce an amendment to the Workers' Compensation for Acoidents Act, making ib dear whether ail workers come under the provisions of she Act,

The Waste Lands Committee reported that the Moa Flat Estate was nob suibable for close settlement.

Mr Thomas MacK^czle urged that a great portion of the esbate was suitable for settlement, and if it was acpuired there were many men in tbe district who would be glad to occupy it. Tho report was received.

The Rotorna Town Council Validation Bill (Hon T Duncan) was first read. Tbe House resumed ab 2 30 p m. Tbe Hospital Nurses Registration Bill wsß further considered in committee.

Tho Bill was reported wiiih amendments, which were set down for consideration next dayi

The Premier moved thab the amendments made by the Legislative Council in the Land for Settlements Act Amendment Bill should be agreed to, with the exception of an amendment in clause 6, providing that if the Governor determines not to proceed with a purchase ha shall forthwith give Botics thereof to the claimant, and there Upon the restriction on the disposition of the land shall cease to have effect, and with the exception of a new proviso in clause 8, to the cffjob that an applicant may apply In respect of more than one group or subdivi aioD,

The motion waa agreed to on the voices. The Government Advances to Settlers Extension Bill was committed.

AtClause 2,giving the Government power to taise an additional loan of two millions for the purpose of Government advances to Bettlers ( the Premier moved to reduce the amount to one million, pointing out that since the Bill passed its second reading, the Agent General had advised him of the inadvisability of raising a large loan at Home ab present. Mr T Mackenzie aeked whether the Department rtquired a million. The Premiers Yes* Ib could not do with less.

Me G W Russell contended thab this money was not wanted for the Advances to Settlers Department. A sum of £760,000 was available for tbe purposes of bhe Act, and this, together with a sum of probably £150,000, which would be received from the Public Trustee for reinvestment, should carry the Department over this year. Thie Bill really meanb that the Government were asking thab a large sum should be placed into their hands which they could chop and change about ac they liked Captain Russell said that be was strongly of opinion that only half a million should be granted. lv his opinion the Department ad ample money to tarry on till the end of the year, ond the million was merely wanted to finance some department which needed aid

Tbe Premier said thab he oould not under* standi any supporters of the advances to settlers system voting for a reduction of the enm below one million. The Department could not do with less than a million. The amount now available would be exhausted by the end of the financial year, and these would be no money to carry on the Depart ment until he could get the consent of Parliament nexb session to raise further money and then procure ib. He must borrow the money as the market suited. He could nob raise ib just ab the moment he might want it

The House adjourned at 5.30 p m The House resumed ab 7.30 pm in com mittee on the Government Advances to Settlers Extension Bill

Further discussion took place on the Premier's motion to reduce tbe amount o! the loan from two millions to one million

Mr G J Smith supported the Premier in hie application for a million, bub expressed iregrcb that on suoh a question he should have raised the question of party Captain Rusbbbll ridiculed the idea of the Premier threatening to make a no confidence motion of a proposal to reduce an amount which he himßeif had already proposed to reduce by one half. The inference from the Premier's remarks as to advances not being made was that the money which Bhould have been available for settlers had been taken away and placed to the credit of some other account

A long discussion ensued, in which Messrs Meredith, Hornsby, and Collins opposed the Bill

(Several other members also spoke The Pramier'a motion to strike out two millions was agreed to on the voices

The Premier then moved thab the words " one million * should be inserted

To this Captain Russell moved an amend tnenb that the words 'five hundred thousand' be inserted. He reiterated thab heoonsidsred thab there was no necessity for raising a larger sum than half a million

The Premier said that the issue was this : Was tbe Government, which was responsible for the finances of this Department, to lend the House, or was the Houbo to be led by Captain Russell

On a division Captain Russell's amend snenb was negatived 43 to 14 and the Premier's motion fixing the amount to be raised at one million was agreed to on the voices

Mr G W Russell then moved that the proviso of ihe clause should be amended to. provide that not more than half a million ((instead of one million) Bhall be raised in my one financial year Lost by 42 to 14 On the motion of the Premier, the proviso Itself was struck out

The Bill was then reported with amend* meats

WHAT THIS GREAT WORK IS. It Is not easy to put in brief compass a description of a work that Is in itself a great Library, AH literature is its field—all races and all times. The Library presents not merely the besb of all tbe great authors that have ever lived, but likewise a panorama of life and lottsrs from that dim, remote past, when books first began to be made, down to our own day. Here in succession, is " the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome." Here are the Middle Ages, lib by the flame of Dante's genius, and sweetened by Chaucer's poetic gossip. Here the Renaissance sheds all its coruscating names—Shakes' peare, Spencer, Jonson, Sydney, Marlowe, Baoon j while Cervantes bids chivalry adieu, and Montaigne gives laws to the modern genbleman. He are the dandy essayists, diarists, and satirists of Ojueen Anne's day ; here the Johnsonian thunder, and the early masters of bhe novel—Fielding, Smolleb, Richardson, and Burney. The nineteenth century is most riohiy represented of all periods. Wordsworth's new worship of Nature, Lamb's cosy wit, Shelley's wild melodies, and Byron's ' pageant of his bleeding heart' are here. Carlyle, Rnskln, Tennyson, Browning, Olough, Rosettl, Barwin, Spencer, Newman, Ibsen, Tolstoi, , Turgenlef, Hugo, and hundreds of writers who have contributed to the present revival of the novel are richly represented in The Library, Nor is mere, wit despised, or humour j neglected. In the Library every mood finds its response; and in this vast collection the wißdom of Plato and tho piety of Pascal are harmonised with the wit of Sheridan and the fun of Mark Twain. SPECIAL OFFER TO RESIDENTS IN NEW ZEALAND The Library of Famous Literature can now be secured through th« Mw Zealand Timei at Half the Publisher's Price.
