Ho urged that this weuld give Parliament an oppor 1 trinity of reviewing such laws and' Parli ament conld always use its influence, with the Government for or against measures as might be deemed necessary.

The clause was carried on the voices. The Bill was reported as amended and passed its final stages, Ihe Ooal'ininee Acfc Amendment Bill was furfcher considered in committee

Mr Reeves moved a new clanse in cub- Btltutioß of Clause 6 the only difference being that Olanse 6 provides for an eight hours' day's work underground and the new clause provides for etghfc hours employ Hunt underground exclusive of naeal time.

The minister stated that the Minister of Mines had 'instructed him that it was quite safe to take up Mr Reeves' clause. The clause waa carried by 16 votes to 8 votes.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wellington, Nov 5 The House resumed at 10 a m PATMONT OF MEMBBBS 1 BILL

In the course of further discussion on the Premier's proposed*proviso Mr Herries at 10*45 a m, expretßed the hope that) Ministers woald nob press this obnoxious proposal. He declared that bub for Mr Hornsby's proviso the Bill woa'd have been passed six or seven hours ago. Mr Collins said chat there was no doubt this proviso was intendod to punish these members who had the temerity to oppose the second readirg of tho Bi'l.

The Hon Sir j G Ward expressed hie willingness to accept Mr KuoeeU'B proposal fco make She Premier's proviso apply to both Houses. He s»i'd that if the opponents of the measure thought that by prolonged discussion they would euoceod in killing the Bill they would find that members of the Government side of the House were pre pared to resisb the attempt as long as the others were disposed to oarry it on. The supporters of the 811 would insist; on the adoption of the proviso. Those who for conscience sake protested againeb increasing their payments without consulting their constituents should be given an opportun ty of writing to th«* Paymaster General de clining to accept the extra £60 a year. Mr E!l asserted that there were well founded rumours aa to a division in the Cabinet in regard to the advisability of in ssrbing the Premier's provuo in fcbe Bill. He understood that two Ministers strongly opposed the proviso Discussion in adverse criticism of the provieo was carried on by Mr Ell, Mr G W RjtsseU, Mr Collins, Mr Hutcheson and ethers. Mr Jas Allen asked the chairman's ruling whether, it the Premier's proviso were in uurted, th» Upper Hoase coald in &nj way whatever alter thg Bill.

Msj >r Steward aaid he could uofc give a definite ruliDg, bat expressed the opinion that the Legislative Council oould not amead the Bill.

Abl p m the House adjourned till 2 30 pmi The Hoase resumed at 2 30 p m

Mr G W Russell's amendment striking oul; House of Representatives with a view to inserting General Assembly was carried by 35 votes to 8 votes. Discussion eontiosied on the amendment to inßert the words General Assembly.

Tho Premier said thats he had moved his proviso io good faith, and he did cob imagine that it would have met with euoh a stubborn resistance With a view to solve the difficulty in which the House found itself he suggested an alteration to the proviso as follows:—'Provided that members of the General Assembly shall nob daring the ottnency of the present Parliament be com" palled to accept the increase of salary provided for by this Aob. The House did aob agree to the sugges tion.

Captain Russell could not help thinking that there was a deliberate attempt by this episode ro Insult those who had opposed the Bill. It wa* bad enough for members of the Lower Hoase to insult themselves, but he objected to their insulting members of bhe Legislative Council ia the fame way. A motion to report progress moved by Mr Masßuy was lost by 27 votes. On a division the motion to insert General Asssmbly was lost by 27 votes to 21. Mr Hiifccheson moved to insert Legislative Council instead of House of Representatives. " Lost by 52 votes to 5 votea, Mr Hutcheaort proposed that bhe words 'the pol'oe force abou'd be inserted. The Premier maintained thaS this was entirely foreign to the Bill. A proviso joareaEing the salaries of members of the police force oould nob be included in a Bill for payment! of cnambers of Parliament* Mr Guinness (who was in tho chair) ruled the words out of order as irrelevant and reflecting on the dignity of the Houae, The House adjourned ar 5 30 j> m. Tha House resumed at 7 30 p m

Without further discussion the proviso to the clause moved by the Premier, that members should notify the Paymaster Geoeral if they do not Jntend fco accept an inoreatie of honorarium, 'was rejected by 55 votes to 31 vote?. Mr Atkinson moved a new clause to the effect that any member of the House or the Council failing to elecb whether he will take the salary as provided by theAob of 3892, In lieu of that stated in the Bill, shall be disqualified for a period of three years. Lost on the voices, Mr Collins moved a new clause that the Bill do not come into forca until the 31st December, 1902
