PARLIAMENTARY.

[FKOM OUR SPKOIAJ. IIKPORTBR.]

WELLINGTON, this morning. 'lhe First lrial of Strength. IT is now definitely settled that a first trial of strength will take place on the motion for the election of chairman of committees. Mr Hamlin has withdrawn all claims in favour of Mr Hurat.upon some understand ing that has not been allowed to transpire. The Uppositien mean to vote against Mr Hurst, without nominating another man. If Mr Hurst is defeated, it is anticipated the Government will then put up Mr Hamlin, when the Opposition will again vote againßt him, notwithstanding that amongst those who for party reasons will so vote Mr Hamlin has many personal friends. Should the Opposition succeed in defeating both Messrs Hurst and Hamlin, they will then, but not till then, nominate Mr Thomson. If unsuccessful in this trial of strength, the next step will be to combat the address in reply. Consolidation of Parties. There is so far every evidence of a bitter and prolonged struggle. This is recognised on both sides of the House, with the result that the two parties are rapidly consolidat ing their forces, lhe Ministerial side is well and compactly formed, and negotiations between Sir George Grey, Mr Macandrew, and Mr Montgomery have reached a stage which warrants me in saying that only very slight differences exist, and these of a nature that will not hinder co-operation on broad party questions. It is anticipated that the preliminary struggle will last over j the whole of next week, and it is quite im pos-ible to say how the division will go, but present appearances point to it ns being very close, and on the whole, I should say that the opposition is gaining ground. Mr Holmes's speech dm more harm than good. On the other hand, Mr Dargavillo is working quietly and effectively to reconcile the three rival leaders.' The intention to move a direct want of confidence motion on the Peace Preservation and Indemnity Bill has been shelved, pending the result of the Chair manship of Committees division. Xdghthonse and Tug for Kaipara.

Some Northern member* have been busy already outside mere Parliament House routine in the interests of their consti tuents. Mr Mitchelson has had several interviews with Ministers, resulting satis factorily. He has obtained a promise that at last a lighthouse will be erected at Kai para Heads, and it is all but agreed that a powerful steam-tug will be provided to replace the wretched steam-launch now on the station. Whangarei Coal Railway, Mr Mitchelson has also urged the ex. tension of the Kamo railway to the coal seanrs at flikuraugi. ffhis will probably be done out of the proposed new loan. The extension of the telegraph lino from Te Kopuru to the Kaipara Heads is another of his demands, and the Government appear to entertain this matter also with favour. Mr Dargaville is busy with the Opposi. tion side of the House, but his efforts so far appear to be directed to consolidate the party. He, in conjunction with Green, of Dunedin, is pushing on a bill called the Employers' Liability Act, regulating the liability of employers to their workmen in cases of accident or death arising from neglect of duo precautions, defective machinery, Incompetent foremen, etc. These two members are also looking up oupport for a bill called the Eight Hours Act, the title of which explains its intent. To-night's Debate. There is a large demand for gallery tickets for to-night, in anticipation of a hot debate on the motion for Mr Hurst's Chair manship. The course I advised you of this morning will bo adhered to. Mr Sheehan is expected to Bpeak warmly. Manned Women's Evidence. Mr Htitchinson's evidence hill provides that husband or wife charged with any offence shall be competent, but not compel lable.to give evidence whether tor or against himself or herself.or for or against each other provided if such person shall have voluntarily given evidence in initiative pro ceedings, he or she shall be not only com petent but compellable to give evidence in all further proceedings where a person on trial shall be examined, all questions to be asked only through the presiding judge or magistrate. It is understood that the Government will not offer any opposition to the bill, although it will probably give rise to wordy debate on the part of the legal members ef the House.

An Auclander's Opinion on the Last Debate.

An Auckland gentleman in Wellington Wires the following notes on Tuesday's debate :— " Very complimentary remarks are made upon Mr Peacock's speech in moving the address in reply, Mr Bryce says it is one of the best he has ever heard. Mr Rutherford, of Otago, succeeded well as a seconder. Mr Montgomery, the nominal leader of the Opposition, was most hesi tating and disappointing. Mr DeLatour Bpoke in gocd taste and with fairness. Mr Holmes, of Christchurch South, astonished feoth sides of the House by his blataut vulgar abuse of the Government; he has loat influence through his coarsenear It is said that Sir Geo. Grey has rarely been so happy and telling in his criticism of the Government, especially in regard to the fact of the Premier heing a member of the Upper House and the rejected of the people. His allusion to the finding of Buuda in the Lords and the young Budda in the Lower House was very amusing. The Wellington people are much excited over the threatened removal of the seat of government to Christchurch. The Opposi tion is at present composed of Greyites, Montgomeryites, and Macandrewites, each anxious for place, Permanent cohesion is highly problematical.

Adjournment was made to consider what is the best shape for the proceedings to take. The feeling is very unanimous in Mr Pilliett's favour in both branches of the Legislature, and there is ne doubt of his disqualification being remote >1 at once.

To-day's Business.

In the House to-day, Messrs Pyke, Shcehan, Fisher, and Weston were sworn in.

Mr Fish gave notice to ask if it was in tended to amend the Gaming and Lotteries Act and Licensing Act, or refer them to the consideration of a select committee, also if it was Intended to amend the Representa tion Act so as to confer leasehold franchise; also of Otago Harbour Board Borrowing Bill. Mr Atkinson gave notice of the Go vernment Insurance Bill, Several consolidated Btatute bills were Introduced by message, and read a first time. Replying to a question, the Govern ment stated it did not intend to amend the Edufltltion Act this session or to repeal the Gaining and Lotteries Act, They would, however, agree to the appointment of a committee to consider and amend the Bank ruptcy Act. .'."7," ...

SUPPOSED MURDER.

Disappearance of a Digger tinder Suspicious Circumstances at Dargaville.

Several weeks ago we published a telegram from Dargaville stating that an old man named William Neil, hailing from Papakura Valley, had been lost in the bush. He had bee n engaged digging gum at Waitetuna, and it is said that on the previous Sunday he left the camp with the object of procuring nikau for the purpose of building a whare. This was. the state ment which obtained circulation at the time, and as Neil did not return, search parties were organised, and adjacent p.r tions of the bush scoured, but with out success. No trace whatever could be discovered of the missing man, aud the Europeans and Maoris who formed the search parties discontinued their efforts. Additional information which has como to light has given a fresh complexion to the mystery, and the police have now 1 eason to believe that Neil was murdered, or met with foul play of some description Detective Brennan proceeded to Dargaville several days ago, and is now engaged upon a searchinginvestigation into the circumstances connected with the mys terious disappearance. No faith is placed in the statement that he is lost in the bush, and there is every piobnbility that further patticulars will be in the possession of the public within the next few days.

DEAN'S MINSTREL ENTER TAINMENT.

j 1 AST night a erowue- uuuience assembled in the Lome-street Hall, on the occasion of Mr Horace Dean's troupe of minstrels giving one of their celebrated Ethiopian Carnivals. The large attendance, despite the prominent attractions elsewhere, was a proof of the estimation in which the public hold the performances of this tronpe, as well as a testimony of tho popular appreciation of the object towards which the surplus pwceeds are to be devoted. The entertainment opened with the singing of " God Save the Queen," by the full strength of the minstrels, the audience during the performance rising to their feet. Tho miustrel performance then opened with selections from the orchestra, accompanied by the "bones" (Mr Billy Carey) and tambourine (Mr Danny Bertie). The first part of the pro gramme wus carried through in ortho dox Ethiopian stylo—sentimental and ennic song 3 being intermingled with tho customary funny stories, conundrums, and by-play ; and the conversational part of the entettainment, which was led by Mr Dean himself as centre man, afforded a great deal of innocent diversion to the audience. Tho songs were—" The Happy Days of Childhood," by Mr Worrall; "Where the Birds and Blossoms Dream," by Mr Austin; " Kiss me and Whisper Good Night," by Mr Dean ; and " Are we For gotten When We're Gone," by Mr Wesley. The latter gentleman has a strong and clear voice, well under control, and for his fine rendering of this pathetic song was honoured with a recal, when he repeated the last verse. Mr Dean sings with great taste, but would dc better if lie could lose some of his self-conscious ness and sing with more abandon. The comic songs were—"Dinah Duck," a merry-going sketch, by Mr Bertie; and " My Wife's Mother's gone Away," by Mr Carey. The first part of tho programme closed with a broad burlesque entitled " The Royal Skidmore Guards," which, had a side-splitting effect on .ho auditory. The "get-up" of the "black guards" was most effective; and with a little more military jargon and action thrown in, to relieve what was somewhat monotonous fun, this sketch should prove an undoubted "hit" in Mr De tii's future entertainments. After a shoit interval, the " olla podrida" of the second part was introduced by an overture, followed by an excellently-rendered song by Mr Austin, Messrs Carey and Bertie next came on with the taking song and dance, "Pretty Roses, don't you toll," and in response to an encore, simply bowed their acknowledgments from opposite wings of the stage. Mr Wesley's song, "Travelling back to Dixey," was the beat production of the evening—the character ot an aged wayfarer being faith fully represented, and the touching senti ment of the piece receiving an appropriate rendering. The audience testified their approval by a warm encore, to which the artist kindly responded. Mr Dean's clever song "Something Rather Dan gerous,'' and an excellent render, ing, by Mr Worrall, of the bass song, " The Roll Call," finished the musical part of the entertainment. A cemic one act play, entitled " Mrs Jenkins's Visitors," was the concluding item on the programme, and was very well represented by the minstrels. Mr Dean took the part of Mr Jenkins, the jealous husband ; Mr Wesley represented the flirting Mrs Jenkins ; and the three lovers were personated by Messrs Carey, Bertie, and Herbert, All ailed their parts well, and repeatedly " brought down the house" by the ludicrous situations and comical surprises of the play. Coming before the curtain at the close, Mr Dean thanked the large audience for their kind patronage, and explained the absence of the "champion banjoist" on account of a cold —though at the same time expressing his inability to see how a cold could intcrlero with the playing of the banjo. A select quadrille party was then formed, and daucinj! kept up with spirit to the small hours. Mr Smith acted as M.C, Mr Kadie's string band supplied the dance music, and Mr Dallen acted a3 caterer. The result of the entertainment should be to give a substantial contribution to the fund to procure horses for the Eire Brigade Mr Dean wishes to record his thanks to the fine band of the Naval Brigade for playing outside the hall on the above occasion, as well as for many similar services rendered previously,

POLICE COURT.-This day.

(Before F. L. Prime and C C, McMillan, J.P.s)

Droni-S. -Six thirsty spirits were punished in the uaual manner. Imposition.—J. J. Bauer, on remand, was charged with Imposing upon Margaret Bryant by a falße representation with a view to obtain food.-The ca«e was withdrawn. Insulting Lanqoaak.—Carl Flsoher was Charged with using insulting language towarda John Ulrlo Hnglee, callinghima thief and aßwin* dler.atlAnckland.on the 20th instant—Mr Tyler, who aopeared lor the defendant, took objeo tlon to the Information as itdisolosed no offonoe. The language used was not an offence under the Vagrant Act, unleß* it was used with the Intention of creating a breaoh ot the peace — The information simply alleged tnat Bundry words wore used, but did not allege tbat the words had been naed tor the purpose ot causing a breaoh ot the peace, or were likely to create a breaoh of the peace. He con tended that the Benoh had no juriadio tlon unleca suoh intent was set forth In the information.—Mr C, S. George, who appeared for complainant, submitted that the words used were snfflolent to cause a breach of the peace;-Mr Tyler argued that the informa tion disclosed no offence on the face of it, because no intent was Bhown, The Bench held tub objection fatal, and dismissed the oase with CCA_BAtjL-,--W, Morris and H. Ferßnsson were charged with assanltlpg one S. Kobfjon at Ran kapakapa, by Btrlklng him about the body with a whip and a billet of wood : also, with threat ening t. knife and kill tho defendant.—Mr Laiehley, who appeared for dofendant, applied for a remand till to-morrow,as wltnessea for the defence had only arrived at 20 minutes paßt nine this morning. Prima facie, his clients were Injured men, as they had been ar rested without warrunt, and It wbb of the greatest consequence that he 'should Bee tho witnessen. From what he knew of the caße. he thought the question of title would arise, which would, of course, oust the jurisdiction of the Court.-Mr Dufaur, for the oomplalnant. Bald that the oase had been adj iucned for tne bene fit of the defendants, and there had been plenty of time slnoa the last adjournment to get tho witnesses down. It was a serious expense to oomplalnant, who resided at Kankapokapa, If the Benoh deotded to grant tho appUction ho wonld apply for costs.

About a month ago, a boy, named Henry O'Connell, 'aged 10 years, was committed to the Industrial Home, from the Thames, A fortnight ago he ran away from' the Home, was captured by the police, and sent hack to Kohimarama. Accord ing to the lad's statement, he was thrashed by Mr Hogan, and in consequence ran away. He is now in the custody of the police, and will be forwarded to Kohimarama on the first available opportunity. Rumours of illuaagejhaving reached our ears, permis sion was obtained to examine the boy. His back and side were found to be a mass of bruises, and on the ribs were small excoriations, showing that blood bad been drawn. If it is true, as the boy states, that these bruises are the result of the thrashing administered by the master of the Home, we think the punishment was unnecessarily severe, and that an enquiry is necessary.: 7

GOOD TEMPLAR GRAND LODGE.

A SPECIAL so?sion of the Grand Lodge, 1.0. G.T., under the K.W.G. Lodge of the World, commenced in the Choral Hall yes terday afternoon. There was a good atten dance, and amongst those present were members of the executive, and Brothers Sir William Fox, P.G.W.C.T., from Taranaki, and Price, G.W. Secretary, from Welling, ton. Brother Jenkins, G.W.C.T., presided, and opened the lodge with the customary ceremony. A quantity of routine business having been transacted, Brother Douse, of Wellington, read an interesting paper on the question—"How can the principles of Good Templarisfti be best made to counter act the present drinking customs of society ?" He suggested that the Order should endeavour to influence the church, the pres*. and the sclwol. The essay was favourably criticised by Brothers Fleming, Bailey, Burleigh, Hemus, and Flewellyh. Papers were aUo read by Brother Fleming on " What means can we devise to aroune a greater interest" in the temperance cause amongst our members ?" and^ by Brother Robertson on " The position of our Order iv Auckland, considered in its political, social, and moral aspects," Brother Sir W. Fox delivered an address on the temperance question, and concluded by moving "That the Grand Lodge in Mew Zealand, of the Order of GoodTemplais of the World, desires to record its gratitude to Almighty God for preserving the life of Iler Most Gracious Majesty the Queen from the hauds of an assassin, aud to express their earnest hope that she may long be spared to reign over the Empire, of which Providence has appointed her the ruler." Brother Price seconded the resolution, and it was agreed to, with the addition that the G.W.S. bd instructed to send tho resolution to the Colonial Secretary for transmission by the Governor to the Queen. It was then determined to establish a Good Templar journal in Auckland, and contributions towards that object having been received, tho meeting adjourned.

THE CHRISTCHURCH OUTRAGE.

CHRISTCHOROH, this day. A t the Magistrate's Court this morning, William Anderson, alias Price, was charged with stealing a hair brush from the Exhi bition. He was also charged, in conjunc. tion with Edward Longraore, alias George Adams, alias Elms, alias Ehdale, wit having committed several burglaries in High-street ou the night of April 21st or the morning of April 22nd. Sergt. Mason said he was compelled to apply for a week's remand. The two prisoners had evidently some connection with the man who had shot at Mr Deans. The whole three had been seen about the Riccarton bush in company near the spot where the stolen property had recently been found by the police. The police were not prepared to proceed with the case, and could not do so, in fact, till the third man referred to was in custody. The Bench remanded the prisoner till June 1.

A male patient has died rather suddenly in the Whaii Lunatic Asylum. The inquest will be held to-morrow.

One case of typhoid fever was admitted to the Hospital yesterday. There are at present but three cases of fever at the insti tution.
