[BY TELEGRAriI-OVVN RBPORTEB.]

THURSDAY. Hard 'limes in the South. Me Turnuullj gave notice to ask Govern, nient if they will allow the Hinemoa or Stella to call at Timaru with a view of moving unemployed persons and their families to the North Island. Report on the Direct Steam Service. Mr Driver brought up the report of the Direct Steam Service Committee, and asked Government if they were prepared to accept it.

Mr Moss said that it was an unusual course for the chairman of a committee to a:k the opinion of Government on the re port. As an amendment on the motion to lay the report on the table, Mr BvRST moved that the report on the evidence and the evi dence be printed. Messrs Tdknbull and Fish fonnd fault with the report, saying that it really meant that the Government could give everything to tbe New Zealand Shipping Company. Mr Fish said it was an instance of the mountain being ia labour and producing a mouFe. Messrs Burst and Pyke were facetious at the expensa of a portion of the report re "unsickable ships" on the ground that there was no such thing as an unsinkable ship.

Mr Swanson pointed ont that the report should have stated, instead of nnsinkable ships, "ships with a sufficient number of air-tight compartments."

Mr MONTaoMnRY thought the Home should have a voice with Government, auto how the report of the Committee should be read. Be supported tbe proposal to print the repoit and evidence, but moved the ad journment of the debate tUI such could ba obtained, wbeo, he said, the House migat add further instructions to the report. Mr Kollbsion said he understood, from the report, that the Committee came to the conclusion that the agreement made by Government should not be approved of,and that no agreement be entered into till next session, in tbe meantime Government making the best arrangement for the con veyance of immigrants and cargo. Next session, with tbe experience of this year, Government would be able to make freah arrangements. He could not now inform tbe House what s'epa the Ministry would take to carry out the recommendation of the Committee, but he could assure them that they would give the best effect they could to such recommendations.

Mr Montgomery withdrew his amend, ment, and Mr Dbiver'S motion and Mt HURST'S amendment were both carried,

Xieivmarket IoU-Bar. Major Harris gave notice to a?k if, in the event of tbe toll-gate at Newmarket not being shortly abolished, will the Government go arrange that the payment ot toll-tees there will free persons crossing the Tamaki Bridge ? Committee Keports.

LeDgthy but unimportant dtbat6S took I place on the reports of commttees, alao on ■: an application from the Committee re I lloads and Bridges Construction foi tea days' extension of time to bring up their report. An amendment to grant only five I days was negatived, and the application I granted 27te Brogden claims. Mr Turnbdll gave notice to ask for the production of correspondence between Messrs Brogden and Sons and Government I since lust session of Parliament.

lclegraphic Blunders. Mr Fish asked Government if attention :! had been cofUed to the imperfect manuer'in I which, tele graphic oprrators transcribed telegrams, and in so doing, related several instances in which he had Buffered pecuniary I loss through mistakes in telegrams. Mr Dick said it would be satisfactory to the Department it, In every case wliera mistakes occurred, they were reported, so I:' that the culprit might be detected, Jiaipura Lighthouse.

Mr Tolk, on behalf of Mr Mitcbelson, I asked when Government intend to com« I meuce the construction of the Kalpara lighthouse.

Major Atkinson replied that the light :| had been ordered, and tbo lower would bo proceeded with, to allow of its completion' by the time the lantern arrived. Portland Cement. Mr McMillan asked Government whether they will offer a bonus for the - manufacture of Portland cement, or guarantee to take for public works acer« . tain quantity of good quality, and up to tent I strength, at fair contract price. Mr Johbstos replied that .the offer of -V bonus bad been made in ISSO, and if there was application made it would be r* newed. Mr Griffin's Consular Menorts,

Mr Macanuhkw aeked Mr Bolleston if bis attention had been called to tbe Cob* I sular reports on New Zealand by Mr Griffin, and if he will take steps to hm. such reports published and widely dis< tribated in pamphlet form. Mr BOLLKSTOK eald his attention had been called to the reports, and, moreover, he had had the pleasure of meeting Mr Griffin, He thanked the hon. member for his valuable suggestion, which would be I acted on. During the recess he would taw ;* steps to obtain copies of these reports, and cause a selection from them to be printed/ The reports were exceedingly valuable. Baa Cattle Iruelcs. Mr Tole asked the Minister of Public Works if he will cause an alteration to be;S made in the construction of the cattle wagons used on the Anckland railways, $ whereby the present enforced cruelty to ; cattle and loss to owners may be prevented? He said he had received correspondence from Auckland to the effect that great cruelty to cattle was occasioned through the construction of the railway wagons! The doors wero in the centre of the wagon, and the animala got blocked V at the entrance, and a great deal I of pinchiDg and flogging was necessitated to get the animals into the wagons. The value of the beasts was thus depreciated; I indeed butchers would not give so ranch for the cattle as for those from sbip-board. Mr Johnstos replied that as the wagons' I were the same all over the colony, and Auckland was the only place from whence complaints came, it appeared to him fbat ; the cauie of the complaints lay more with I the drivers than with the trucks.

Whisky-distilling in the Colony-

Mr Fish asked the Treasurer whether a» will consider the desirability of giving I facilities for the establishment of distil" leries in the colony, by making a redn* tion. in the 'duty on colonial, muds spirits, as against those imported? H* said that there was a large quantity of discoloured barley and wheat in the colony which could not be exported, and waanMj . les». If distillation were permitted ana aided by a differentijl tax, It would conduce to purity of spirits, Ma would greatly assist the agricultural industry. At present a great JUM"? of the imported whisky was not BW* from barley at all, bnt from maize, and **. little else than poison. He did not ttin* there need bo a difference of moretbrtß 6d or 3s per gallon in tbe tax onlocuw compared with imported spirits. ... Major atkinson said Government a» not see its way clear to give Mr Riß » satisfactory answer. Another New BiU. Major Atkinson obtained leare to tofw dace the Counties Act Amendment Bill- At 5.10 Major ATKiNSOfI moved tw« the Speaker leave the chair with aw the House coing into Committee of Bnj ■
