POLITICAL GOSSIP.

(jiV TKLKaRAI'H.-SPKCIAL HKPORTER.)

Wklliniitox, tliis day

Iv the House Yesterday.

Tuk anxiety of members to get on with business was evidenced by the large atten ilanco when the House assembled yester day. Even C'uptaiu Eraser, who has bcon prostrated by illness for the last week, was in his place. Tho chango from t.lio bril liancy of party debate to the dull routine of business exercised its effect on tho atten danco in the galleries. There lias hitherto been large assemblages of the fair ccx, but yesterday afternoon there were scarcely a dozen ladies present, but soon after the Hon. Premier's explanatory speech had concluded, they were conspicuous only by their absence, while the Legislative Coun cillors' Gallery was also empty. There was a lane attendance in the Strangers Gallery in tho earlier part of the afternoon, but even they tho ropresenatives of the Wellington nomployod, eventually awoke to aeon scioii3nci of the fact that they could find a nleasanter manner of passing their time than in listening to the frequent and long winded orations of Messrs beddon and Hatch and the lesser political lights. How the Bonohos are Filled. Mr Stout occupied the seat on tho Minis terial bench vacated by Major Atkinson, Sir Julius Vogel sliaring the bench with him. Tho next bench was occupied by Mr Richardson on the outride, and Mr Ballanco next to him, while Mr Tolo sat immediately bohind Mr Stout. Messrs WakeKelcl, Atkinson, and Bryeo were in the front row of the Opposition benches, and Mr Holies ton aatistied himself with a position at tho end of the House near tho entrance. Ministers Sacrifice Principle for Plaoc. The statement of the Premier virtually amounted to a declaration that tho exist ence of tho Government would be imperilled by the introduction of questions of abstract policy. Tho most important matters aban doned for the present were the local Govern ment proposals and the land tax. The North Island Trunk Railway. Tho promise that tho construction of the Noitlr Island trunk railway would not be delayed evoked applause from Southern as well /is Northern members. The Non-Committal Ministry. In answering questions, Ministers showed a decided disposition to refrain from making any definite promises, and while somo quos tions were deferred, others were allowed to stand over for consideration at tho hands of the Government, Tho Volunteer Force. Tho annual report of Lieutenant-Colonel Reader on the Volunteer Force gives the strength on ."Ist December last as fol lows:—Cavalry, 370; Naval Artillory, 530 ; Artillery, U34 ; Garrison Rifles, 1,021 ; county corps, l.ltiS-giving a total of 4,33-2, of whom 3,3!14 aro ellicient. Tho new regulations, for upwards of a year's trial, are reported to bo working ill a gener ally satisfactory manner. Volunteers Not to Have New Rifles. Volunteers will be disgusted to learn that it is not the intention of the Government to substitute tho Martini-Henri for the Snider rifles. The Minister of Defence stated yes terday that an expenditure of £10,000 would be involved in the change, and the Government did not see its way to go to that expense. Law Practitioners' Bill, Sir George Grey's new Law Practitioners' Bill provides that any person of good character ovor the age of 21 years who shall pass an examination in law shall bo entitled to enrolment as a barrister or solicitor without fee. It also provides that "any jnale person of good character may manage, prosecute, or defend any action on behalf of any party if authorised in writing or nomi nated in Court to do so." Kawakawa Coal Company. Tho question of royalties paid by Kawakaiva Coal Company was before the House yesterday afternoon. Reply ing to Mr Shrimski, Mr Ballance said £1,750 had been paid prior to 1S7l». Under the new arrangement it was pro vided that royalty should be paid at the rate of 25 per cent upon the net profits. Tho royalty fees had since accumulated to the extent of £5,000, but as the mine had been worked at a loss no profits had ac crued, and banco no payments were due. Mr Shrimski apparently was not satisfied, and moved that the lease of tho Kawakawa Coal Company be laid on Die table at an early date. The Abolition of Oatjis. Sir George Grey's Affirmation in Lieu oE Oaths Bill provides that it shall bo lawful for any person to make tho affirmation—" I do truly affirm and declare that"—instead of the oath ; the penalties in respect to oaths to apply to affirmations. Auckland College and Grammar School. jVIr Dargaville'e amendment to the Grammar School Act is a measure to re move tloubts whether tho Board of Go vernors at Auckland College and Grammar School has power to grant free education, prizes, exhibitions, and scholarships to .other students than those educated at the jeame school. A "Mixed" Petition, The ease of Crosbie Kidd, formerly Ser geant of Auckland police, is again under consideration, Sir George Grey having pre sented a petition from him. After referring to circumstances connected with his dis missal from the force, and recounting his services to the State, tlje petitioner states that since his dismissal from the police force he had been prospecting for gold for two years. He pleads that he has expended tho money ho saved from his pay in the police, Is now in debt, and believes that he has a sufficient prospect of finding payable gold if assistance is extended to him. The Chairmanship of Comrnittcos. Tho first trial of strength will take place over the Chairmanship of Committees, of which notice will be given today. The Go vernment have finally resolved to run Mr Steward, of Waimate, against Mr Hamhn. The division will be very close. Colonel Fraser has been very ill, but is now recovering. Fraudulent Trustees and Bankrupts. Mr Samuel has given notice of motion impressing on Government the duty of pro viding for the prosecution of persons guilty of fraudulent misappropriation of trust moneys and fraudulent bankruptcy. What tho Sturdy Beggar Wants. Mr Brodie, who aprived on Sunday, in terviews the Premier to-day in reference to a sum of nearly £S,OOO claimed by tho Thames County Council, and which has been above of contention for a number .of years. Capitation Grant to Volunteers. Tho Volunteers have found another cham pion in the person of Mr Holme?, who in " tends to ask the Colonial Treasurer if the Government propose'to increase tho capita tion grant, and if so, by how much. The New ColOßial Secretary. Tho Hon. P. A. Buckley has accepted the portfolio of Colonial Secretary, and was to be sworn in this morning. The Proposed Eighth Minister. Mr Moss is canvassing the House on one side and Mr Pearson on the other, against the appointment of an eighth Minister, as giving the Executive undue weight in the House. The feeling is strongly against it. Mr Moss will probably move in the House on the subject. An Auckland Minister Still Wanted. The other Auckland portfolio is still un filled. Election of Committees. The Government have endeavoured to oust Colonel Trimble, who is a staunch Atkinsonite, from his old position of Chair man of the Native Affairs Committee, a pea 5 which is worth £100 a year, and give it to one of their own supporters. There was a party struggle on the question at a meeting of the Committee to day. Colonel Trimble and Mr Bradshaw were both pro posed, and the voting resulted in a "tie," six voting for each. There is no law to decide ties, .md the meeting agreed to con sult the Speaker. Notice was given ygster <lav for the addition of Messrs Wakefield and Locke to this Committee. It is under stood both are favourable to Col. lrimble Mr Turnbull was elected Chairman of the Petitions Committee unopposed. This position is also worth £100 n-year. Mr Fulton was chosen Chairman of the Waste Lands, and Mr Pyke of the Gold fields Committees. A proposal is being made to pay the Chairmen of both the latter Committees. Under Which Chairman-Hasnlin or Steward?

The Government will not make the Chairmanship of Committees a Ministerial question, but members of tho .Ministry will vote for Mr Steward. Mr Macttndrew pro poses him. Somo Government supporters will support Mr Hamlin.

(BY TELEGRAPH. —PRESS ASSOCIATION.)

CimisTonrrßOir, this day, Shortly after thrco o'clock this morning the Feather Hotel, Lincoln Road, occupied by Mr J. Ifansman, was destroyed by ffre. The origin is unknown. Mr Hansman was away in Tviiaru. Mrs Hansman retired at midnight, when all appeared safe. She left a small tiro in the dining-room grate, and the lire teemed to have commenced in that part of the building. After the fire a Jew hawker lodging at the hotel named Walter Leditt was missed, and his charred remains were subsequently discovered.

Tho insurances are:—On tho building, i-1,500 in tho Union Company ; furniture, stock, etc., £1,000 in the Australian Mer cantile Union Company.

Press Opinions on its Character

(BY TKLOiflAl'ir.

—OWN COKKK.SPOXIIFNT.)

CiißiSTViiiTWir, this day

Sir George Grey Criticised,

Tho "Press" says:—"lf the now C!o ---veiTiinont believe that they can depend on tho aid of Sir George Grey on the occasion of any crisis, wo aro afraid they aro trusting to n broken reed. If it is true that Messrs Macandrew and Montgomery aro excluded from the new Ministry partly at his insti gation, he will have been able to avenge himself for the slights cast on him by those gentlemen in the late Parliament; but his action throughout the recent negotiations for the formation of a strong (iovernment leads to the conclusion that ho is determined to bring about the downfall of any Ministry of which ho is not the chief, lie is probably almost tho only mem bor of tho House who would welcome a dis solution, his party have nothing to lose by such anevont.andho, nodoubt, hopes ho may {jam. Another election might place him at the head of a fe\v additional followers, and so enable him still to exerciso the same preponderating influence in the future that he has done in tho past. A Ministry that depends on his support for its existence will not occupy a very cnviablo position, for tho chances are that ho will throw them over on tho very lirst chance which presents itself. Tho late Atkinson Ministry was offered the aid of Sir George's eight or nine votes if they would agree fco the terms pro posed. Those, it was stated, were tho repeal of the property tax" and the re imposition of the land tax, a neat >n the Cabinet to a Groyito, and one or two other concessions; but Major Atkinson promptly rejected tho oiler, preferring defeat to for feiting his independence."

CORRESPONDENCE.

Parliamentary Union.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —As we were informed by ono of tho speakers at last evening's meeting that in the words of Englands "immortal bard," " in tho multitude of counsellors there is wisdom," may one be allowed to express a regret that, at a preliminary meeting, of whom probably a fourth came only to listen and do not intend to becomo members, a subject calculated to promote dissension shoul 1 have been introduced so early. It would have boon time enough to have pro posed alterations in the constitution when the rules were before the next meeting fi i discussion, and when all those present M such meeting should have qualified then. solves to vote by having duly onrolloii themselves as members. To many it will be quite as amusing to listen as to talk, and if after a time it was found that ninety-five talkers was not sufficient to meet tho interest taken in the movement, surely there would bo no ditliculty in meeting tho views of those desirous of permitting the number of representatives to bo unlimited by amend ing the rules.—l am, &c., Mkmbkr,

At the adjourned meeting of August Vollbraeht's creditors to-day, tho required quorum for confirming; acceptance of a com posjtion of 103 in the £ was not present, and the meeting was therefore further adjourned until Tuesday at 10 a.m., the debtor, in the meantime, to file tho accounts which have been asked of him.
