HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wellington, September 18 The House met at 7 30 p m A Bill to remedy all teohaieU defects in the appointment of the Preside t of the Arbitration Court was introduced by Governor's mafcaage, and re id a first time Mr Seddon said he had found on Saturday that Jodfie Cooper should Luve been gsxetted Prenideoti of the Arbitration Court, and this Bill was merely to remedy th t defect, I c amked that the Bill be put through all its stages n8 a matter of urgenov In reply to n question by Mr Hen lea, Mr Seddon aaiil that Judge Ooopsn\j appoint ment as a Judge of the Supreme Cotsrfe was not effected. He should have received » separata and distinct appointmeob as a Judge of the Arbitration Court Mr Hntcheson ooafer.ded that the appoint ment of Judges to the Arbitration Court had been muddled from start) to finish. The Premier had promised to do away with the If item of paying judges of the Arbitration Court by fees, hut he had failed to oarry out the promise although ho had admitted that the system wag unsatisfactory. He (Mr Hutohe*on) atrongly objected to a Supreme Court judge being dependent on the good will of Mmlaterß for part of hi? emolumeuts, and said that by placing a vote on the Estimates for the payment cf these fees, the Government was striking right at the heart of the Administration of jus'ices in this colony. Mr James Allen urged an amendment of the Industrial Conciliation and Arbitration Act, 1b the direction of preventing interested parties from having a seat on the Concilia tion Board. Hertferred to a osee in which it gentleman having a seat ou the Concilia* fa Board was also secretary of a labour ion. He did not suggast any unfairness the part of that gentleman, but at the sjima time he considered it better that such "fe contingency ihou'd be prevented by Statute Mr A kinson adversely criticised the System of paymeub of members of Concilia 1 tion Boards »cd condemned the anomalous and dependent position cf the judge of the Arbitration Court Mr Millar eaid the gentleman referred to by Mr Allen had been on the Conciliation Bsard in Donedtn for the last five years, and to imputation of unfairness or partiality had ever been made against him Mr Pirtni thought that a judge of the Arbitration Court would object to being dragged on to the fl>or of the House year by year, aa would happen under the present condition of things, and he urged the Premier to bring down legislation to defr orely fix the pesition of that judge After farther debate, Mr Seddon said the ur&Teliiog allowances of judges bad been for fears fiied by Ministers. If the word ■jiiiowaoce' had bten pu; so the Arbitration Hfe, instead of 'fee;' there would have I^ho ao'hing said about it, HHie second reading of the Bill was then Hved to on the voices, |HBbe B 1! passed thiousgh Committee with j^^Et amendm°atß aad was read the third BBPacd passed. j^Hie acting Speaker read a communication the Auditor-General, who stated that with section 9 .of the Public HBei.aeß Act ha forwarded for the informal ■Hfetf the Bouse a copy of the correapon- BHHprelating to the difference of opinion the Audit Office aud the Treasury, (^spearing certain payments under the Oid Ago Pensions Act. Mr Ssddoo moved that the correepm dence be referred to the Public Accounts Committee. He taid tbe mm of money iovjived was a mare tr fb, but it was ft question of law involving the power of the Colonial Treasurer to extend the time for tbe payment of OH Age Pensions beyond She month allowed by the Act, He (Mr Seddon) had aathoriead thra payment: of a certain overdue pension by instalments, The Auditor Genera! had challenged the pay ment, bub he (Mr Seddon) was supported by the Solicitor General. If ha did not have power to make these payments it meant ihat icms of the recipients of pensions would have to go without flomo of their iriKtahnenta. After & short discussion Mr fcteddoa's motion was agreed to. The Stamp Act Amendment Bill was introduced by Governor's message and read the first time, li> is a Bill to amend the law relating to the transfer of shares in mining companies, and to alter the duty payable on inch transfers. In reply to questions Mr Seddon stated that the Government did not propose to amend tbe Workers 9 Compensation for Accidents Act in the direction of excluding Racing Clubs from its provisions ; that the Amendment of the Military Pensions Act would be introduced this session ; that it would be triCßfc an wise to extend the borrow log facilities of the local bodies; that) co«oper»tiva workmen in the Government) 1 employment are not insured againßt accident)' nnder the Workers 1 Compensation Act. la reply fco another question Mr Seddon Mid, be drew laßt year as salary £21375, and an travelling allowances £435, the latter sum inoludecl £225 for expeoaea to the Common^ wealth celebration. It had been stated thai h& had received £200 houee allowance, but be could tell the House ho had not received twopence for house allowance last year. ■ The House roes at 6.20. (The House reetsmsd at 7,30 The amendments made by the LeeietafeivO Council in the Sate School Gbildrens Drill Bill were agreed to. Mr Pimm's Sohool Attendance Bill (No 2J was considered in Committee In clause 4, the compulsory sphoftl age wits reduced from fii'tpen ,to fourteen years. fjuhascyoct 1 of the same clause, which provided thftfc the residence of a parent or gaardian of a child must be more than four miles from fche nearest school before exemp tion from attendance can be granted was amended by making the dltfcmco two miles Olansea II and 12, relating to the corn. pnfgory attendance ab Native Schools were at rook out, aad a new dauae waa inserted providing that tbesMiDisber for Education may from time to tiiie make regulations governing the attendance of Maori and half owste children, Mr Meredith moved a new clause that truant inspectors under the Act shall include tnembera of the police force of the colony Lout) by 31 to 14 The Bill was rpported and the third reading act down tor Wednesday next. Mr Buddo'i Counties Aob Amendment Bill, relating to the Roulh Wttimakariri Blver Board, w&u paused through Committee without amendment, and was subsequently put through its final stages Majmr Steward's Statutes Compilation Bill, Mr R McKec/ve's Miners Right Fee Reduction Bill, and Mr Hogg's Rabbit) Nuisance Aob Acnendmont Bill passed their fina! stages: Mr Barclay's Shopa and Shop Asßistanta Act 1894 Amendment Bill was recommitted, pa Mr Barcky'a mption a new olsyae wae tPMCted, profiding that all chemist ahopa may bo o|>eß for the aapply of mediclao or (jargioal applianaeß only between '? and 9 on tho Ofening of the day appointed for the weekly half holiday, and any chemist) may on th« afternoon o! the half holiday supply gny medicine or surgical appliances which ' m&y ba urgently required having opened his "Bhof for that purpose only.

J Mr Fowid'a Cycle Boards Bill waa further considered in Committee, Mr Buddo entered a strong protest against the Bill, urging that tha distrusts propoeod were Wo large, and that the interests of dwellers ia the more distant districts could not fee conserved. In reply to a quoatlon Sir Josopta Ward said ihe Cabinet could not give a decision as to whether the Government) would take up the Bill until Mr Fowlda had endeavoured to get it. through and failed. Mr G W Kuaaeil considered the Rill in its present form' would be absolutely unwork able; He moved that progress be reported. Mr Collins thought the objection to tho measure would be met by a, proposal to enable distrios to exempt themselves from ihe oprr&'i,>o of the B.l'. Sir JoK-ph Ward contended that) due provision hud been made to Baft-guard the interests of the minority, Mr Fowlda said he W:8 prepared to define 'local districts' ac 'districts governed by any local body,' and to add a proviso to clause 4, providing that a separate petition must 1)3 presented from cyclists residing in different Iocs! districts within the larger cyolo liietrior, and that Until such petition be presonioil, no looal district shall be deemed to bo included in the oje'e district.

THE LATEST A Strong Speech by Cardinal Moran.

I United Press Association -13y Eleotrio Telagraph—Copyright

Received. September 19, 9 20 a m Sydney, September 19 In the course of a speech at the opening of a bazaar, Cardinal Morem said that a 6 the present day, we in Australia, were a genufno republic. He waa not going to speak as a rebel, but as a cornmtonaense speaknr. Com paring America with Australia, he said that if the same treatment were extended to Australia for one month, which had guided the Horns Govern ment with regard to America, before another month, Australia would be independent Australia, "and she would have my fullest blesßinga in being so " Regarding the BUggested change in the Coronation oath, about which the Catholics of Australia have sent a very energetic protest, they were greatly indebted to the Commonwealth Go* vernment for tho prompt manner in which it had forwarded the manifesto to the Home Government, but they saw to their chagrin how cavalierly Mr Chamberlain, as representing the Home Government, treated the question. He seemed ignorant about the whole question being endorsed by the entire Commonwealth. He would tell Mr Chamberlain that Australians had too much sense to be beguiled by such effrontery. They knew their rights, and were determined to fight for thrtn. One of those rights wan that when the Coronation oath insaltsi the great body of Catholics the wording of it should be emended. When the Sovereign oame forward, and insulted one-fourth of the citizens of Australia, they said to the Government of Great Britain, who forced such an oath on the King, " if such a thing goes on we know our rights, and an independent Australia will startle you some day sooner than you expect." R& did not think a more libpral-minded man than the King existed, or one that more abhorred the oath he was supposed to take. But the King was helpless, He objected to bo forced by law to mike profession cf what he did not believe, and insolt the citizen?. Heiwould rather honour/and rerppctthem. All they wanted was that the British Government should not imptse snch am unpleasant duty on the Sovereign.
