Tho amendments made by the House in the Fisheries Conservation Bill were agreed 1 to j The Sliarebroker3', and Birds' Nu:sanco i IMIls were read a third time and-passed. j Tho Legislative Council Act Amendment Bill was read a second time. The Government Railways Superannua- \ tion Fund Bill was committed. 1 The Hon. Mr Bolt moved an amendment j to c!au--e 5, enabling a person to become a contributor to the fund at any time, pro- j vided he pays into the funds a sum equal • in amount to that which wovtld have accrued to the fund had he been a contribu- ] tor from the commencement of the Act, This was lost by 25 to 2.

House of Representatives.

Wellington, Sept 23 j The House met at 2.30. ! A petition was read from a number of Native land owners in<he Wairarapa, praj» ing that the Land for Settlements Amend ment Act, under which Native owned lands may be compulsorily acquired, be not paased into law, on the ground that it would be a violation of the Treaty of Waitangi. The second reading of the © irnaru Endow ments Lands Resumption for Mining Hill was negatived by 33 to 7. ■: Mr Laurenson move! the second reading of the Medical Practioners Bill, which enabled a medicaLman who may have been : struck off the medical practitioners list to ' appeal to a Judge of the Supreme Court for . reinstatement.—Agreed to. In Committee on the Factories' Act Amendment Bill, the sub-section relating to providing of meals for overtime workers was on Mr Hutchison's motion amended to provide that the allowance for meals shall be paid only to those workers who reside more than a mile from the factory. I Hon. Major Steward moved a. new clause, j empowering local authorities in boroughs i and town districts to declare another day than Saturday for the weekly half holiday for factories. I Sir Joseph Ward thought this proposal went too far, as it would mean a splitting up "of the holiday among trades. Instead of it he moved a new clause to provide that in any borough or town district having a , population of less than 10,00 \ if Saturday i is found inconvenient for the weekly half! holiday under the Factories Act, the local i authority may substitute another dny for it. j ! Hon. Major Steward accepted this elmse ' i in place of his own. j j Mr Arnold said the Labour Bills Com-' j mittee had carefully considered the olausj i proposed by Sir Joseph Ward, and bad \ | unanimously decided that it should not be included in the Bill. | Several speakers urged that the House should not take any step tluifc would tend I to detrimentally affect the Saturday half holiday system, while others urged that an allowance should be made in the case of i small country factories. The discussion was interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment. The House resumed'at 7.30. In Committee on the Factories' Hill, after further discussion, Sir J. G. "Ward's new clause was read a second time by 32 to 26. Mr Millar then moved that the Chairman leave the chair, the effect of which would be to kill the Bill. He complained that the Government had sprung a surprise on the House, in that the clause in last year's Act, making Saturday the half holiday for factories, had been agreed to. After seven years' trial of the old system, and after , ' hearing opinions of all parties concerned, I and with the unanimous consent of the j workers and employers he objected that in I the present case no Employers' Association, j Trades Council, or factory proprietor had been consulted in the matter. He deliberate ly accused the Government of having, during the past elevei months, wilfully broken the law under the Act. Saturday ! was the half holiday for factories, and yet j the Government had in any number of j ! boroughs allowed some other day to be observed.

Hon. W. Hall-Jones said that the pro posed new clause only applied to businesses which came under both the Factories Act and Shop Hours Act, and where the factory employees in the establishment had their half holiday on Saturday and the shop assistants had their half holiday on some other day this clause would enable them to have their half holiday on the same day. He would be willing to insert a provision that no alteration for the day of the half holiday should be made under the clause unless a majority of factory employees were in favor !of it. He read a long 1 list of boroughs that had requested the alteration now proposed. A long discussion ensued, in the course ! of which Sir Joseph Ward suggested an amendment somewhat on lines of that j indicated by Hon. Hall-Jone?. Mr G. W. Russell urged that there should be no compromise, and pointed out that there were only five places in the colony, I Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Sy- j denham, and Dunediu, which could not ■ under this clause be exempted from the ' provisions of the Factories Act so fur as the Saturday half-holiday was concerned. After the supper adjournment, Mr Miller asked leave to withdraw his motion that the chairman leave the chair. The Hon. W. Hall Jones said it was desired to make progress to-night with other Bills on the Order Paper. He there fore moved to report progress on the Bill. Mr Herrics objected to the Minister's i proposal, and said he did not see why the House should knuckle down to a small band of city members. ! Mr Hall Jones interjected that he had no intention of dropping the Bill. After two hours' discussion, Mr Hall- Jones's motion to report progress was car , ried by 35 votes to 21. solicitors' bills of cost. Mr Pirani's Solicitors' Bills of Costs Bill was committed. Amendments were made providing that an application to" refer a bill of costs to a Magistrate must be made within thirty d:iys of its receipt, and that a bill of costs may be referred to the Regi strar as well as tho Stipendiary Magistrate. The right of awarding reasonable costs to either party was confined to the Stipendi ary Magistrate.

Clause 4, dealing with the powers of the Registrar in the matter of awarding the costs of the reference, as provided in the Law Practitioners Act, 1882, was struck out as being unnecessary. MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS BILL. Mr Laurenson's Medical Practitioners' Bill was committed, and a motion to report progress was carried by 24 to 23. i | BILLS ADVANCED. ' In Committee on the Licensing Com mittees Quorum Bill, a new clause was added providing for the recovery of a vote in the licensing poll. The Solicitors' Bill of Costs Bill passed its final stages. Mr Lawry's Legislation Act 1894 Amend

ment Bill was read a second time. A number of amendments in the Elector al Bill were brought down by Governor's message, and agreed to. Sir Joseph Ward read a cable from Capetown, slating that a demand exists there for skilled artisans in several trados, but the present high wages would decline aa the supply increased. At 3.40 a,ra. the House rose till 2,30 on Monday.

WOOi , WOOL. IF not already a staunch client of ours we hope you soon will be. We want your business. We assert that every man should adhere to his own trade, as one cannot successfully cope with ten or twelve different classes of business. If he attempts it someone's interests must suffer. Our business is the STOCK AND WOOL BUSINESS. We have been brought up to it, and it is well known that we are Experts. We do not care what other firms do. We assert that we can show better averages than anyone else. Do not be led away or coerced iuto the belief that anyone can sell —such is not the case. Firstly—A man must be a judge of what ho is selling. Secondly—He must be in touch with values. Thirdly—He must have the confidence of the buyers. Fourthly—He must have discretionary ability. Fifthly—He must be capable of advising j his clients. j Finally—We assert that you cannot j make an auctioneer. It is a gift, and good men are not procurable.



'■ Do not run away with the idea that any one can sell. Our experience is that per haps it is all very well on a rising market, but all markets are not rising ones, and the | very one to which your consignment may conw forward might be a weak one, and you may lose enough on that sale to amply justify jour securing the services of the ! best mau. We look after all consignments ns though they were our own, our clients beiug oul- first and only consideration.

While there exists a remedy like rUSSICURAj which reaches the very seat of the trouble and renders dangerous developments impossible, there is no reason why Consumption, Pleurisy, and Pneumonia should obtain a hold on the system, but at the same time the danger of delay is so evident that it should be unnecessary to emphasise its importance.
