to have Fsubstituted" qancther of them.jjf A species of three card trick occupied an excited House, thej Speaker for an hour and a-half vainly trying to find the ace. The greatest excitement prevailed among the Ota^o members to the great amuse ment of the others. The efforts made by Mr Maoandrew to withdraw the bill the House would not permit. Subse quently it was left undecided which bill had been read The title common to all those was read a second time, and the whole lot thrown to the Waste Lands Committee to pursue an investigation. Reduction of Gold Duty.

A long and warm debate on Mr O'Neill's motion for the reduction of the duty on pold by sixpence an ounce occuired. Mr O'Neill Quoted figures showing the importance of the country fostering the gold mining industry, and of the numbers employed. The loss to * the Treasury would be insignificant. The establishment of a mint would be|a boon of the utmost value. . Mr Vogel opposed the motion. He denied the desirableness of a mint, even if the per mission of the Home Government could be obtained. If desirable either of the Australian Colonies would establish a branch mint for New Zealand with agencies here. The Go vernment would resist the proposal to reduce the duty. He regretted that a reduction was made last year. Mr O'Connor referred to the great pros perity of the colony, while mining interests were failing. The burden should be light ened. He referred to Mr Harrison's oppo sition last year, and said that m supporting Mr Vogel he was not representing the feelings of his constituents. The people were leaving the goldfields, which were not paying. When industry was failing the tax was unjust. He had supported the tariff that the Government might have no excuse for this unjust tax. The Goldfields' report showed that the gold return for the year had fallen one million. The average earnings pc: a tan was £77 10a 3d including interest on the millions of capital invested. Mr Fox said the tax was a blot on the statute book.

Mr Luckie opposed the reduction of _*old duty. He sneered at the pitiful case of the miners, and showed the gross wrong which the reduction would entail on the provinces, some of which could not pay departmental expenses without a good duty. The outcry was all bunkum. One-fourth of the miners were Chinese, aue a tax of threepence or f ourpence was v not too much. It was not the right time to make a reduction when pushing on public works. Mr Fox urged that it was a most irritating tax, and should be abolished ps soon as possible. It had been severri years ago wholly abolished in Victoria, and the under standing last year was that reductions should be made by the House until the duty was extinguished. It had been shown that min ing was carried on last year at a loss, while it would have been paying if the tax were abolished. Mr* J. L. Gillies supported the resolution on the grounds that it was an unjust charge, one not applied to any other industry in the colony. They should abolish it altogether, Mr White denounced the opposition of the Premier to the reduction in two years. It was not a question whether the provinces would suffer, but whether it was wise to tax an industry which had been the salt ution of the coh ny. They should see how it affects the colony, not sny special locality. 'There was no reason why wheat, wool, and other exports should not be similarly taxed. Mr Atkinson would oppose the reduction, i and was even favourable to an increase of duty, ft was a royalty, and if raised to five pounds it would not be unjust. Mr Sheehan, j who had worked for a reduction last year, opposed it now. This was the revenue of the province;', and should not be voted away without their sanction. He would support the gradual extinction of the duty not so rapidly as proposed. He would leave each province to decide for itself. He moved as an amendment that the Government be requested to bring in a hill giving power to councils to reduce the tax.

It was seconded by Mr Bradshaw. Mr Buckland said the Auckland province was insolvent, and could not dojwithout the gold duty. It could not pay the salaries or expenses of a day without this, and the pro vince of Auckland could not be earned on. He would oppose the reduction. Mr Reader Wood supported the reduction. He could not see that it could be called any thing but gross class taxation. The same might be levied on wool. Auckland miners fare worst. Five per cent, on Auckland gold, paid in duty on the produce of a poor claim, left no interest at all on the capital invested. Such claims must consequentlybeabandoned, throwing many out of employment. Without the tax mines would be worked which were being now deserted. With reference to the province being insolvent he said many think provincial institutions are not worth continuance if such sacrifices are necessary. The reduction probably should be gradual, but it was most unjust and indefensible. Mr O'Connor said if Mr Sheehan opposed the' reduction he would do it in. an open manner, and not seek to shelve it by re mitting it to provinces. The debate was ad jourried. Mahurangi Road. On the motion of Mr Sheehan a return was ordered to be laid on the table shewing the expenditure on the Mahurangi and Port Albert road.

Californian Port of Call. Mr Brown, of Wellington, withdrew his notice of motion to fix Wellington as the CalL fornian port of call. Duty on Australian Wine.

In reply to Mr O'Neill, Mr Reynolds said it was nob considered advisable to remove the duty off colonial wine when the Australias heavily taxed imports from New Zealand. Rewards for Deserters. In reply to Mr Wilson, Mr McLean said that the rewards by the Home Government for the arrest of Kimball, Bent, and other deserters from the Line were cancelled. He knew Kimball was on the West Coast of thp North Island, and had done much to poisoh the native mind. No information lay before the House.

Maine Liquor Law- Mr Fox obtained leave to lay on the table voluminous evidence of the success of the permissive law in the State of Ma;ne.

Nelson Loan. Mr O'Conor obtained leave, to introduce' the Nelsori Loan Bill. . . 77; ,

The Canterbury Rivers and HaWkes' Bay Superintendent Elections Bills were passed without amendment.

Goldmining on E.ivate Property. The Goldmining on Private Property Bill was read a second time after ian irregular warm debate. The Government this time supported it. It will be restricted to Otago, and apply only to future sales. The Volunteer Land Act Repeal Bill was committed with an amendment inaking it applicable only to volunteers joining in the *y*ure.

J it was read a third time and passed,

Provincial Officer's Disqualification

Mr J. G. Brown moved the second reading of the Provincial Officer's Disqualification Bill, which proposed to exclude in future Provincial officer's from the House and give them ex offioiq seats in the Upper House,

Mr Sheehan said he assisted in burying a similar bill last year. He would do the same now. Who represented so largejconstituencies as Superintendents. It Waß of the highest importance that where so much provincial business is done as in the House, the chief magistrate- in the provinces should have seats. He moved that the Bill be read that day six months. Mr O'Connor said the Superintendents were chiefs of the bands of log-rollers. Mr Webb said the Bill was intended to re move the best and ablest men of the House. Mr Steward said it was highly desirable., to remove provincial officers. The duties to the provinces would abundantly occupy those officers. . . Mr Buriny said the mover acted only from a tiff with Mr Rollestori. Mr Reid and Mr Andrew said they had too few men of ability to be able to afford this. ; ■•' Mr Cuthbertson supported the Bill.S&The presence of these officers;was the mam ob stacle, to the abolition of provincial institu tions. He demanded that the Government express its views. * Mr Reynolds said the measure was a farce. Mr Fitzherbeit snubbed Mr Brown and young members generally for presumption. They had mistaken their position. They should be on the Ministerial benches. Young members, like yoHng surgeons, attempt what experienced men shrink from. Mr Brown replied. The Bill was thrown out on division by 44 to^.1 The following>oted for the Bill :— Mfcssrs, Brown, Kenny, Steward, Murray, Cuthbertson, Eryce, C. Parker, Atkinson, Jackson, McGillivray, and W. Kelly. The House adjourned at 12.30 a.m.
