PARLIAMENTARY.

[Ny TELEGRAPH.— OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

Wellington, this day, Lato Loquacity of Members.

In connection with the hurried manner in which several bills were put through on Saturday night in Committee without any comment, and the talk which, at a later hour, was indulged in for the purpose of relieving their consciences, especially in the matter of the General Assembly Mem bers' Expenses Bill, rather a good story is told in the Press Chambers. Of course, when members had nothing to say in the early part of the evening, there was nothing to report to the papers, and the bulk of the copy found its way to the Telegraph Office at an early hour of the morning; for it was only then that mem bers commenced to air their eloquence and to dissertate on the wrong proposed to be done to the country. Yesterday morn ing tho chief telegraphist here addressed a letter of complaint to -the manager of the Press Association, the ground for complaint being that whereas only about ,'.OO words had been received for transmission at 10 o'clock over 700 had been put in at between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning. This the fussy official in charge of the local office (whose character as an official is best described by the sobriquet applied to him by his subor dinates), Cocky Robertson, very much de precated, and mildly suggested to the manager of the Press Association that the bulk of the evening's work should be pre sented for transmission at a much earlier hour. This the General Manager (Mr Gillan) quite agreed with, but took occasion to remark that if members would refrain from speaking until after the supper adjournment, the Associa tion could not very well supply material for the operators to work upon before supper.' However, he sympathised entirely with the chief of the local Telegraph Office, and would gladly make one of a deputation of two to wait upon the Colonial Treasurer and point out to him the error of the ways of members, and endeavour to get a short bill introduced to compel members to speak at such times as would be convenient for the Press reporters to take down their words, and the telegraphists to despatch them to the hungry maws waiting for them. It is not expected the bill will be got through this session, but I just mention the incident at this early stage In case the telegraphist may be waiting for something to go on with.

Insular Separation. Mr Pyke,. the Provinoialist, is again on the war-path, and on^Saturday afternoon gavo notice of motion ; "That'itls essential for tho good government and well-being 1 of tho colony that provision should be made for tho establishment of local government lin each island." This is the first note sounded that heralds the approach of what ' many consider must somo day become an accomplished fact—insular separation. Reports on Petitions.—Gold-mining Interests.

The Publio Petitions Committee brought up a report on tlie petition of Archibald Mc- Loghey and others, praying that Govern ment may complete the purchase of a block of land which they hold under the Agricul tural Leasing Regulations of 1875. The Oliinemuri District Committee recommend that aa Government has now obtained the freehold of the ground occupied by peti tioners, a more permanent tenure Bhould be offered them, providing mining interests are not interfered with, and that the price charged bo not more than the upset price of land.

The Auckland District Goldfields Com mittee recommend the passing of the Drainage of Mines Bill, and the insertion of a clause giving power to the Governor to bring the measure into force by proclama tion. The Course of Business. It seems to be generally understood that the House of Representatives will finish to night all tlie bills that are to be dealt with this sossion, excepting, of course, the Ap propriation Bill. The latter and the Legislative Estimates would then remain to be dealt with next week, together with any amendments made by the Legislative Council in the numerous bills now before that body. If this programme is carried out, - and no unforseen hitch should in tervene, it is still expected that the pro rogation will take place on Wednesday, as originally intended. New Plymouth Railway Refused. The most of Saturday afternoon was frittered away discussing a bill introduced by the Minister of Public Works, proposing to authorise tho construction of a line from New Plymouth to tho harbour works now in course of construction thero, and a branch line from Kelso to Gore, South Island. Objection was taken to tho expen diture on the New Plymouth line, and the bill was amended to expunge mention of that lino.

The Goldfields and Mines Committee have brought up the following important report: —That a vote of £2,500, in aid of prospect ing, should be provided on the Supple mentary Estimates during the present session ; that the allocation of the vote re commended be based on the following con ditions:—(l) That no claim for assistance out of any vote in aid of prospecting for gold or other minerals shall bo recognised unless the work for which such assistance is ap plied for shall have been sanctioned prior to tho commencement thereof by the Council of tho county or district surrounding which ho works are situated. (2) That in any district where the Counties Act isnotbroughb into operation, the sanction of the Minister must do obtained for the proposed work. Payments upon works bo sanctioned shall bo madoat tlio recommendation of such office as tho Minister may appoint. (3) That the amount payable shall be 10s in the £ upon the. amounts actually expended. (4) That the certificate for the amount payable shall bo signed by the chairman of the county council in the district wherein such prospecting Is to be carried on. The Golafiolds Committee, in a report brought up on Saturday, suggest .that as the mining industry has now become so Im portant, the Minister of Mines should make an annual statement to the House similar to that mado by the Minister of Public, Works. Tho Committee further recommend that an aot should bo prepared during tho recess providing for mining for minerals other than gold in the same mannor as is provided in tho case of tho Mines Act, 1877, for tlie S:_lsh liiland.

Tho Thermal Springs Bill. Tho Thermal Springs Bill, as passed by tho Legislative Council, was introduced into tho Houso of Representatives on Satur day by tlio Minister of Lands, who moved that it puss through all stages that day. Mr Moss opposed on the ground of the numerous private interests affected, which called for great deliberation in dealing with this bill. The second reading was therefore deforred till Monday.

THE TE KOPURU FIRE.

[from our own correspondent.]

Te Kopuru, 31st, 8 p.m. The fire is now all but out, a few smoulder ing heaps hero and thero, on*b of coal, another of flour and sugar, another of chalk, potatoes, wheat, and the re mains of stores. A further examination of. tho yard by daylight only tends to prove what a narrow escape we have all had, and that of tho most marvellous nature, too, not less than five separate events having combined to save us, and tho absence of any ono of which must have- proved almost certain destruction. In tho first place, had it not rained heavily during the afternoon and evening, the fire must have ravelled too fast to have been under control; as it happened the greater part of tho yard was ankle-deep in water. 2ndly, had the wind continued in the samo quarter as at first, nothing could havo saved the whole place, 3rdly, the arrival of the Aratapu men saved one end of tho yard, from which the flames must have extended to tho remaining portion. 4thly, the arrival of the Manjrawhare and Dargaville con tingent in tlio very nick of time again arrested tho flames when destruction was mminent. sthly, the sudden calm and heavy fall of rain immediately afterwards. There appears to be little doubt that a spark from the stoke-hole of tho plan ing mills had lodged in somo obscure corner, and had at last been fanned into a flame; indeed, one person who appears to have seen the commencement observed a bright ilamo run up to the roof, which sho at first mistook for a lamp being run up tho rigging of a vessel lying in the stream, only that almost immediately afterwards the place burst into flames. Some of tho workmen fancied they could smell something burning during the afternoon, and even warned the watchman to keep a look - out, but unfortunately they did not appear to have com municated the matter either to Mr Matthews, the general manager-, or to Mr J, Black, the mill manager. A large num

ber of persons have visited the plaea during the day, and ono and oil - ex. press their astonishment as to .how the flames were arrested, seeing on all sidos timber is still standing In stacks with the centre in ashes. A largo number of people specially distinguished themselves in their exertions, but Where all worked so hard it would be invidious to name them. It is to be regretted that tho appliances for extinguishing a fire were so meagre, no fire-engine of any sort being on the ground.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Contagious Diseases Mania, (To the Editor.)

Sir, —I should like to know if the opponents of this measure (who are so ready to accuse those who have the moral courage to sup port its provisions) have read the Act of 1869, in force here ;. because, if they have not, then all tho quotations and opinions of learned clergymen, or even medical hien on other Acts in farce in Trance and Engl and, have no real value. I advise jfr Hughes and others who are so ready to sit upon everybody who happen to think differently, without in any way stretching forth a hand to help the unfortunate women plying this trade, to rend and digest our Act, and a lot of—l may say twaddle— will be found not to apply. I would also ask him what is his reply to the following extract from yesterday's paper :— "Tho Chatham Board of Health have for warded a letter to the Secretary for War calling attention to the appalling increase in the number of prostitutes since the sus pension of the compulsory claute of the Contagious Diseases Act, and the withdrawal of the Metropolitan Police." Does he desire to see this traffic increase? I no more desire to banter on this subject than ho does; but let us have a little common sense and ■ consistency with our boasted assertions of Christian cha-lty, and ask in the words of one of the quotations —" If this extract shews that the neck oftho iniquity is broken ?" Well may there be a laugh. If men and women were angels, I could understand the application of some of the high, faultless quotations, but being only men and women with our human weak nesses, let us treat them as such. I ro< iterate the opponents aro willing to do nothing themselves or let anyone else dq anything but talkee, talkoe.—l am, &c,, P.E.
