PARLIAMENTARY

FROM OUR SPECIALREPORTE

{BY STAR SPECIAL WIRE).

WELLINGTON, this day

GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL. The Local Bills committee of the Legis lative Council have reported on the Girls' High School. They decline to recommend an appropriation of reserves tlil they are actually made out, and recommended that the Governor should set aside reserves to the value of fifteen thousaud pounds for this purpose. Then they will be prepared to give the Education Board power to mortgage revenue from them for building. ° LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. In the Legislative Council, Colonel Whit more stated that 2,300 immigrants had been arranged for Canterbury province during the current year. Several bills were passed. Among them the Thames Harbour Bill was read a third time and finally passed. TELEGRAxM TARIFF. In the House of Representatives Mr Fox cave notice to move tbat no special wire be granted to any press combination until the privilege can be given to aU. In reply to Mr McLean, the Telegraph Commissioner said certain applications from newspapers, asking for special wires, were omitted from the correspondence laid on the table, in error. That a special wire in the day-time to evening papers could not be granted, but the 1,000 word allowance at morning paper rates would be contiuued to them during the recess. In reply to Mr McLean, Mr Macau drew said he was not aware that the price for the insertion of the railway time-table in the Otago "Daily Times" had been increased from £80 to £120 a year. He did not be lieve any measure had been made. WAGGON COMPANY. In reply to Mr Richards' question whether before committing the Government to the acceptance of the offer of the representative of the proposed Railway Waggon Company for hire of waggon stock, any opportunity was offered to other waggOD builders in the colony to compete ; and whether, if the terms agreed upon are so remunerative as is represented by the prospectus of the Company, it would not have paid the Go vernment infinitely better to build their own stock, Mr Macandrew said, the Govern ment was not committed to the acceptance of any tender which would prevent other companies from supplying on similar terms. The Government had only given effect to the wishes of the House last session by en couraging local industry. The Government would be glad to see a dozen other com panies start. NATIONAL ANTHEM. Mr Fitzroy asked the Government, " Under whatauthority they propose to alter the National Anthem in a British colony ; also, whether they do not think the proposed new National Anthem might be looked upon as an infringement of the present secular system of education ?" The Premier declined to answer the ques tion. Mr Fitzroy appealed to the Speaker, but it was ruled that the Government might answer or withhold reply as they pleased. INCREASE OF POLICE PAY. InreplytoMrPyke, the Treasurer said the Government intended to raise the pay 6d in the lower ranks, and Is in the higher, from the Ist of January to 30th June. Govern mentnext session will bring down an Armed Constabulaly Bill, (providing for ordinary pay, long service pay, and travelling allow ances. EDUCATION. In reply to Mr Gisborne, the Colonial Treasurer said the whole question of higher education would be considered during the recess. WRECKS AT OTAKI. Tha Premier promised that the whole question of light-houses for Cook's Straits, in view of the recent wrecks at Otaki, would ba taken into consideration. VARIOUS MATTEKS. A number of notices of motion were given, and various bills advanced. CHARGE OF PARLIAMENTARY BUILDINGS. The report of the Joint House Committee, recommending that members resident in Wellington be appointed a house committee to have charge ol the Parliamentary build ings and grounds during the recess, was considered in committee. A motion by Mr Kelly, adopting the re port, provided that no liability shall be in curred by the committee, without thq consent of the Government, was carried on the voices. AM3NDMNETB ON BILLS. The House disagreed with amendments made by the Legislative Council in the Public Reserves Sales Bill, but adopted those in the Thamos Harbour Bill. , RAILWAYS CONLTRUCTION BILL. On the motion by Mr Stout for the House to go into Committee on the Railways Construction Bill, Mr Rolleston trusted the Government would state what amendments they pro posed making in the bill, which he con sidered to be merely a great appropriation measure. Tho Minister of Public Works 'proposed an amendment empowering the Government to enter into an agreement to make to the extent of money which may bof provided or specified from time to time by the Generai Assembly, with any person for the con struction, extension, or maintenance of all or any of the railways mentioned in the schedule. Various other amendments were also proposed. The House went into committee on the Bill. In olause 3an amendment was added, limiting contracts entered into. Mr Stont said, in reference to clause 6, that there would not be a separate fund tor each railway. Sir R. Douglas opposed the bill as placing too much political leverage in the hands of the Ministry. The motion for the third reading of the Bill was carried on a division by 55 against 9. ELECTORAL BILL. The House went into committee to con sider the amendments mane by the Legis lative Coucil on the Electoral Bill. _Mr Stout said thefHouse would disagree with some of the amendments made. The amendment made by the Council on sub-section 6, of section 14 qualification of electors, was disagreed on the voices. It was as follows :—" If he be a leaseholder owning a lease of land having three or more years to run, yielding a net profit annually of more than £10." Mr Stout moved :—" That the House dis agree with the amendments in section 18, which struck out the miners' rights and busi ness license qualification, and alsojsub-section A and B, which gave qualification on a freehold value of £25, and a ratepayers'. The amendment by the Legislative Council only confers a vote upon every male Maori of the age of 21 years, "if his name be en rolled upon the ratepayers' roll in force within the district in respect to which he •laims to vote."

The Native Minister appealed to the House to do justice to the natives, and Mr Moss spoke in a similar strain, stating that

hsKA\Q native matters been left to North Is] ( members there would have been no war. V...... ■ Sir Robert-Douglas said the clause in its original form was an attempt to swamp the European vote. Mr Brown Ashly spoke against the dual Maori vote, and Mr Rolleston supported, and Mr Karaitiaua opposed the amendment or the Council. Sir George Grey said he did not believe in the dual vote to Maoris, becaused it perpetuated the differences of the two races. It would be impossible to take away from the natives the privileges they now enjoy without engendering all feeling. Mr Fox said if the natives enjoyed equal political privileges they should also be subject to the same political responsibility. The Premier agreed with this. Mr Fitzroy supported the view taken by the Council. Mr Tawiti said private individuals having been allowed to purchase land was pro ductive of much trouble. It was a previous Government who had brought the Maori members into that House. He was in favour of the dual vote. He did not care for the King natives. They (the Maori members) represented the natives who had been always loyal. Now let this talk about the Maoris cease. Let the whole bill be withdrawn. Mr O'Rorke said all they were doing on this occasion (in that spirit of justice which usually animated our race) was to give a portion of these privileges to which they were entitled to the Maoris. Mr Bowen considered that while Maoris had exceptional representation they were not entitled to the other representation. Tbat was the point members on his side of the House took up. The hardship was on the side of the European. Mr Shrimski and Dr Hodgkinson op posed. Sir George Grey said rhe Treaty of Waitangi and the Constitution _Act secured to the natives the same powers and privi leges as the Europeans, and it was doubt ful if the bill, in its present shape, could receive the Royal assent, because it restricted the privileges conferred on the Maori by the highest legislature in the world. He urged the House, therefore, to treat the Maoris as our fellow-subjects, and insist on the bill as it originally left the Chamber in the first instance. Let matters be so arranged and then let the Maoris them selves appoint delegates, aud tell the legisla ture what they wish to be done in the mat ter of the electoral franchise. If the propo sals of the Government were not accepted, it would be the beginning of great ill-feeling between the two races, and would prevent the advance of the desired friendly relations between the Maoris and Europeans. Major Atkinson pointed out that the bill, as it came from the Council, was in exactly the same position as when the Government ment first introduced it into the House, so that after due consideration during the re cess, of the necessities of the country, the Government had brought down to the House a bill which would be the commencement of ill-feeling between the two races. He would leave the hon. gentleman in that posi tion. Mr Turabull thought the taxation argu ment was untenable, because the loans which necessitated taxation had. been borrowed without the consent of the natives. Indeed part of the debt had been incurred to make war against and crush the natives. He confessed himself strongly enamoured of the Maori character, and asked the House to treat the race generously. Mr Hunter thought the Native Minister had given good reasons why the House should support him, and he (Mr Hunter) should vote with him because he did not believe there was so much in this native matter as either party attempted to make out, and because he believed the concession would read for the equality so greatly desired. The question was put that the House disagreed with the Council's amendments. Ayes, 36 ; noes, 26. The amendments were therefore disagreed with. Other amendments were also disagreed with, and the following managers were appointed to. draw up reasons : —Messrs. Pyke, Sheehan, Stout, and Sir George Grey. ADJOURNMENT. Mr Stout then moved that the House go into committee on several bills. Major Atkinson and several other members objected, it now beiug 2.35 a.m. A divi sion ensued on the adjournment. For, 25 ; against, 37. NATIVE LAW SUITS BILL. Mr Stout moved for the insertion on this bill in clause 2, of the names of Messrs Higginbotham and George Cook, of Dun edin, and of District Judge Mansford, of Wellington, as the Judges who should try the cases. After a short discussion, progress was reported, and' at 3.15 the House adjourned.

MISS SHERWIN.

(To the Kditor),

Sir,—As one who was fortunate enough to hear this talented singer on Thursday evening, I quite concur on the critique published in last night's Star, and also in your local relative to the repetition of the mod scene from " Lucia." I am sure there are many, besides myself, who would esteem it no ordinary favour if Mies Sherwin would kindly repeat on Monday evening next this most beautiful piece of singing and acting. Tiusting the management may be enabled to oomply with this request, I am, yours &c, Advance Australia.

[We beheve Miss Sherwin has consented to comply with this desire, which has been ex pressed by everyone who had the pleasure of being piessnt on Thursday night.—Ed. B. S.]

TELEGRAPHIC.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

COROMANDEL, this day. Tokatea.—Gold is showing in No. 2 stope. Forty pounds of picked stone are to hand for the week, making a total on hand of 140 pounds. Most of the tributes are getting little gold.

Harbour View.—The manager reports encouragingly.

TAURANGA, this day. ASSAULT.

A scene took place this morning on the Town Wharf, as the Taupo was about to take her departure for Auckland, between the son of Captain Marks and Mr Edge cumbe, proprietor of the ''Bay of Plenty Times," in consequence of a sub-article ap pearing in that paper censuring Captain Marks for alleged persistent laziness. Mr Edgecumbe was just leaving for Auckland, when he was assaulted.

GRAHAMSTOWN, this day. The f*Advertiser" advocates that the big pump* shaft should be sunk deeper, so that the question whether gold does exist in this part of the field may be definitely settled.

The Moanatairi crushed 294 tons for a poor return of 130ozs. goM. Bendigo United.—Stone for the crushing is being broken out, and sent to the battery. It will probably go an ounce to the ton.

North Devon.—Crushing will be started next week. The reefs are looking well.

COROMANDEL, this day. Royal Oak.—The manager reports getting 501bs. of splendid stone from the stope in the intermediate level. In the main level stope, eastward from tde rise blotches of gold are seen in the stone. Betwen one aud two passes the reef looks promising for a patch. 1441b5. of picked stone are on hand.

SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

{PER STAR SPECIAL WIRE)

DUNEDIN, this day. THE TELEGRAPH PRIVILEGES. The -'Daily Times" urges evening papers to write, pressing their claims on the Govern ment. It says the proposed combination has no intention of interfering with them. Mr Reed leaves for Wellington to-morrow. THE TABLET'S BLACK LIST. The " Tablet" publishes as a black list the names of those who opposed Mr Curtis's Bill. The " Tablet " also urges all Catholics to give a block vote against all opponents of denominational education and to organise for the purpose.

(PRESS AGENCY),

WELLINGTON, this day. Sailed -. Rosannah Rose, for Kaipara. BANK HOLIDAY.

A supplementary "Gazette" issued to day contains a proclamation announcing that Wednesday, November 13th, will be a Bank holiday in Auckland provincial dis trict.

CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. AGRICULTURAL SHOWS. The Lincoln show was not so great a success yesterday as usual, partly on account of the small number and quality of the exhibits and partly on account of the Tveather. It is sug gested that the Ellesmere and the Linooln Agri cultural Societies should amalgamate, as they are too close to have independent shows of a suocessf ul character. CHURCH SCHOOL After a long discussion in the Synod last night, a motion was carried that the re-establishment of the Church school was very desirable. A lecture was given by Captain Barry last night, on his own colonial experiences of fifty years. It -was by no means a success, from any stand point. Captain Barry stated that he Was going home to publish a book and give lectures on the same subject, and that he had already over five thousand subscribers In the colony for his book. The Cornish enthusiasm with regard to contri buting to the funds of the new Truro o»th&dral appears to have evaporated. Loot night not a soul turned up at the adjourned meeting. VOLUNTEER ENCAMPMENT. Some of our Volunteers intend to tako part in the Volunteer encampment to be held in Don edin on November Bth. Members of the City Guards, Engineers, and Artillery have stated their intention of being present.

CHARLES VEITH'S BANKRUPTCY.

The creditors in the estate ©f Chnrles Veith, a bankrupt, of the Blue Post boarding and eating house, was held yesterday afternoon, in the Supreme Court buildingn, when the trustee's re port was preswrnited, and the debtor's application for a certificate of dieohxrge considered. Mr A. R. Wateon was voted to the chair. Mr S. Hesketh appeared for th* bankrupt; Mr Dufaur appeared for Mr Lamb, of Ngoruawahia; Mr Thorne for other creditoi s. The liabilities were set down at £500, and assets in book debts, £50. The report gave a sketch of tho bankrupt's pro ceedings from the time of his starting a flax mill inP, 1874, at Wh»tawhata, and Rave an account of hia trade vicissitude, at NKaruawahie. and other plaoes until his arrival in Auckland, about a year ago, says the report, " the bankrupt came to Auckland, and took the Blue Post boarding-house (Victoria-etioet and Queen street), without a sixpence of capital. He states that Meters Holloway and Garlick and Mr Holdship advanced means to enable him to furnish that house, and took a bill of sale over the furniture for their aooounts (£129 2s 3d.) Within three months after he com menced business four judgments wore obtained against him by other creditors, and, the holders of the bill of sale beooming alarmed, they put in the bailiff, This was in .April. Mr Bell was then introduced to the bankrupt by Messrs Holloway and Garlick, who ntatod that he would advance £140 up«n the furnitare, so as to enable themselves and Mr Holdship to be paid. Mr Bell got the furniture assigned to him. and afterwards let it to the bankrupt at £1 a-week. The bankrupt also gave Mr Holdship a post-dated cheque for £27, which he red«emed by degrees. With th* money Meesis Holloway and Garlick weJODatd off. as well as an account of £29 due to Mr T. Morrin, which was under stood to hay* been included in the bill of sale, but was not. The certificate of discharge was refused by the creditors.

"KELLY AND DEON."

of programme, and a seiri.» of new songs intro duced, among which _re "Only a withered rose," by Mr C. S. Fredericks, and '' My mother's gentle voioe," by Mr Rood. The oomic element will be smpp«rted by _t__6f*rs Lester and Court right. The " Only Leon " will do a little episode entitled "Miss Doroas Pennyroyal;" Japanese Tommy will come out in the character of "Young Bob Ridley."

TOKATEA GOLD MINING COMPANY.

The ninth annual meeting of the above Com pany was held at Coromandel to-day, Mr Wool lams presiding.

. The dn-ectors' report regretted that their mining operations should not have been so satis factory as they oould have wished. However, they have yet great confidence in the auriferous character of the reefs, and trust that they will again be in a position to pay dividends instead of making calls upon the shareholders. During the year, 981 tons of qaartß, obtaiaed from the stopes above the van level, after treating in the usual Is-ay. yielded 453 ozs. 1 dwt. 8 «c. of gold, value £1,295 12s 84. This would rate abont 2 ozs. 3 dwts. per ton. Under the tributins system, 1,650 ozs. A dwts. 19 grs. have been obtained from the mine, principally from Mirfaoe ground, value £4,71216s 7a. The amoMt paia to tributers on this accomnt amounts to £3,008 €o sd, leaving a profit to the Comp&ny amoanting to £80410s 2d, being an average of about 17J per cent of the gross amount. The groand io Hie No. 7 level having turned out to ne of a __t*ch harder nature than was at first anticipated, and the distance to drive pretty considerable, the directors purchased a rock drill and machinery for driving same. It is contemplated having this erected at an early date, so that a new block may be opened on the reef at the^earliest time possible. The retiring directors, _He<^rs Ring and Brett, offered themselves for election. A third vacancy in the Board had to be filled, m oonsequence of the resignation of Mr Fraser.

John Knox, in charge of the mine reported: " When I took oharge of fyour mine there was about 80 tons of quartz in paddock; and during a period of four months I have stoped 68 fathoms

ALL SAINT' FANCY FAIR.

The weather last evening was against the All Saints' fancy fair and Christmas tree. The sain poured down, and prevented many persons from taking a. part in the buay enterprise. Tne band of the Artillery Volunteers rendered musical service in the evening, and the room was creditably tilled at times. The ladies were indefatigable in the promotion of good works, and much credit is due to them for their endeavours to realise a sufficiency for the church organ. The distribution of the Christmas tree appendages caused much amusement, and the lady who got the gold (cold) watch looked upon it with doubting eyes. In addition to other events of thie evening, a famous talking mag-pie will be drawn for, named " Talking Tom, of Ponsonby." The owner reluctantly parted with his old companion for the good of the church, without any intention of his becoming a member of the All Saints' choir. Over £40 was taken yesterday, and it is hoped that double that sum will be taken to-day. The fair opened at eleven o'clock thia morning, and will remain open until eleven o'clock this evening.
