PARLIAMENTARY

[IIV TELEGRAPH.]

[FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.]

Wellington, this day. I am able to state on excellont authority that the Ministry have resolved to resign as Boon as Parliament meets to-day. A\ hat-

ever rumours to the contrary may have reached you, this is undoubtedly the course

agreed upon

The State of Parties,

ThoOppositionistsarostill greatly divided, and nothing can be said as to how parties will ultimately gravitate. All the "leaders ' are now horo, with the exception of Mr Ormond, who is expected to arrive to-night.

Tho Speaker and Chairman of Committees.

Sir G. M. O'llorke is considered certain of re-election to the Speaker's chair, but Mr Hamlin has no chance lor tho Chairman ship of Committees.

LATER.

Tlio Resignation of Ministers.

The exnet position of affairs politically is this :—Ministry are of opinion that among tho members pledged to oppose them there are many whoso sympathies are more with them than with aiiy of tlio leaders of tho Opposition, and that as soon as the present Executive have vacated office, their party, already compact, will bo largely re inforced by accessions from this source. They intend thereforeto notify then-resigna tion immediately after the Spoakor has been elected and accepted by the Governor, and the House is fully constituted. This will vory likely be to-day, but may possibly be delayed till to-morrow. You may accept it asabsolutely certain, however, that the Minis try will either resign this afternoon or to morrow. According to constitutional usage, they only tonder advice if specially re quested to do so by the Governor, and the Cabinet will probably not seek to advise His Excellency as to their successors unless pressed. Mr Ormond's Attitude. It is still undecided who they would namo if they required to advise His Ex cellency, but my own opinion is that it would bo Mr Ormond. That gentleman has played a waiting gams, and has given i.o inkling whatever with regard to Ids sympathies or intentions. He is expected in i Wellington to-night. Tho probabilities of a coalition on tin- Ministerial side seem more to favour a coalition between Atkinson and Ormond thau between Atkinson and Vogel.

Toe Southern members of the Opposition only arrived yesterday, and there has been no communication between them and Sir Ge.rgo Grey, nor between Sir George Grey and Sir Julius Vogol, although a meeting took place yesterday between Messrs Mac androw, Stout, and Ballanee, at Yogol's houso. Mr Dargavillo was not present. Tho ono cortainty is tho Ministerial resignation, but what will follow is tho purest conjecture, and the Opposition leaders arc at present as much in tho dark on tho subject as other people. From tho Opposition Standpoint. On tho Opposition sido I learn that affairs stand thus:— Yogel, Ballanco, and Stout have expressed thoir willingness to serve under the Premiership of Sir George Grey if tho latter is sent for by tlio Governor. I learn that an interview did take place be tween Grey, Dargavillo, and Yogel on Tucs lay. What the basis of union would be has iiot transpired, but the Opposition at present seems to look to a combination of existing olements under Sir George Grey's Premiership. In tho event of Mr Ormond being sent for, it is impossible to say what the result might be, but manifestly it would disorganise this arrangement. Mr Ballanee has, fam informed, given assurances of liis willingness to bury old feuds.

WAITEMATA ELECTION VALIDATED

Tho question of the flaw in Waitemata election, arising from tho closing of Kumeu polling booth, lias been submitted to the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General. Their opinion in, thai as the error could not possibly havo affected the result, tho elec tion would bo sustained, even in the face of un election petition ; but as tlio error arose en irely through tho Returning Officer, it is proper that all doubts should bo set at rest by the issue of a validating proclama tion covering the irregularity as provided by the Act. This recommendation has beon approved in'Cabinot, and the election validated accordingly, so that the matter is linaily disposed off.

OPENING OF PARLIAMENT.

Tho Course of Procedure,

The Houso opens at two o'clock by com mission, when members will be sworn in by the clerk. Tho Premier will then propose, 1 and Mr Macandrew will probably second the appointment of Sir G. M. O'Rorke to the Speakership. There will be no opposi tion to his election. After the Speaker has j been presented to the Governor the Minis terial announcement of resignation will be made to the House. That may, as before stated, take placo this afternoon or to morrow. Tho election of Chairman of Committees will not tako placo for a week, at earliest, and may be further delayed by Ministerial changes. Mr Steward, who wovad tho want-of-confidenco motion last session, is, however, a candidate, and has strong support. His chance, arc con sidered the best, Of course much will depend upon who succeeds to the Treasury b :nches, and what nomination tbo new Ministers consider necessary, to make in tho interests of their party, but the fact of any candidate having a large number of per gonal pledges will influence tliam consider ably. It is generally bolieved here that Mr Hamlin has no prospect of nomination by tho Atkinson party, failing which his election is out of the question ; but that cannot bo definitely known, and he still-has hopes and some personal pledges.

THE LATEST.

THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH,

ITS DELIVERY DELAYED FOR A WEEK.

Wellinctox, 2.27 p.m.

The Commissioners opened Parliament at 2 o'clock and stated that His Excellency ; the Governor would attend on Thursday, ! Uth inst,, and explain his reason for calling j Parliament together. . ; The swearing in is now taking place in | the House of Representatives. THE MINISTERIAL TACTICS. The reason why tho resignation of Minis ters was not handed in to-day as agreed upon is thafc they wish an opportunity of consult ing with Mr Ormond, who arrives to-night from Napier.

MINISTERS NOT YET RESIGNED.

Wellington, this afternoon.

Immediately after the opening of Parlia ment this affcerneon, members will be sworn in, and tho Speaker elected, aftor which tho House will adjourn till to morrow, when the Premier will make a statement as to tho intentions of tho Go rarnment.

(by t-_e('kapii — own cor.nesfcedent.)

Wellington*, Wednesday.

T_s Intentions of Ministers.

Although nothing official is known, it is generally understood that Ministers will resign either to-morrow or Friday. Every thing is being prepared for this in the buildings, and Mr Beefcham, tho Govern ment whip and others on the same side have already ticketed their seats on the left of tho "Speaker. Nearly all the mem bers are expected to be hero to-morrow. Sir Julius Vogcl's Health. Sir Julius Vogel's health is rapidly im proving, and ho will tako his seat this week. The Leader of tho Opposition. Unless' pressod, Ministers will not re commend anyone to the Governor as the person to be sent for. If required to advise, they will almost certainly namo Sir Julius ' Probable Coalition. Mr Stout has been in communication •with the latter during this afternoon. ■. There is no chance whatever of an amalga mation between Vog«l and Atkinson, but although no communications ii&ve yet passed, an arrangement between Grey and. Wogel is quite on the cards,' Tho Duration of Parliament. The "Post" of this evening points out that unless allowed to expire fey effluxion of time, the present Parliament will cease to .exist in the middle of its fourth session. ■After pointing out the inconvenience of

such an occurrence, and the impropriety of Parliament extending its own duration, it recommends tho House to agree to a disso lution after tho third session, and also urges tho repeal of tlio Triennial Parliaments Bill and a roversion to tho five years' term.

Fatal Accident.

11l

Wellington, this day.—Mr Albert Beele man, master of Gladstone School, was found (lead on tho Ngahuranga Road last night. He had been thrown from his horse. Ho was a native of|Franee, and leavos a wife and several children. Ho is bolieved to havo proporty in Canterbury.

At the Scotch town of Arbroath lately the minister read a judgment of tho Kirk Session, to the effect that two ladies had been convicted of spreading infamous false hoods and malicious letters, and were sus pended from tlio communion for twelve months.

About noon to-day word was brought to the Polico Station that a notorious woman"j named Eliza Lestrange, was indulging in tho invigorating exercise of window smash ing, in William-street, off Chancery Lane. Constable Collis at once proceeded to tho placo indicated, and thero found the fair but frail Eliza, walking about like a fury, and blood spurting from a wound in her wrist. The woman was conveyed to the Police Station, and under Superintendent Thomson's directions, Dr. Hooper was called in. He found that tho wounds in her wrist and hand had been cut evidently by window glass, and that one small artery had beon severed. Dr. Hooper attempted to stitch up the wound, but the woman struggled violently and tore out the stitches, so that the doctor was com pelled to content himself with ban daging the wound. Lestrange, who is about 35 years of oge, will bo charged with drunkenness and malicious injury to property at the Police Court to-morrow. She seems to have a penchant for window smashing, having been five times previously arrested ion the charge. Her crime record includes, besides the five convictions re ferred to, 35 convictions for drunkenness, 29 for vagrancy, 1 for assault, and 7 for lar ceny. Ten years out of the last twenty of her life sho has spent in gaol.

STEAM YACHTING ON THE PACIFIC.

THE WAIRARAPA'S SECONU

CRUISE.

[By Tin-: Star.-, Special Correspondent.]

The Land Question in Samoa

Was fully touched upon in a report of tho first cruise, but further information on the

question may prove of interest. Very grave disputes havo taken place between the natives and foreigners in respect to tho titles of their land. In ono or two cases, where the holdors have boon in peaceable possession for a number of years, they havo had their titles disputed. The natives desire to get their lands back, and wherever the party who sold the land to tho foreigners hnppens to bo dead, the surviving portion of the family state that the deceased one had no right to sell. British Consul Swanston in IS7S spoke as follows at a meeting of the Taimua and Vaipule (similar to our two Houses of Par liament): There were somo land disputes which he had taken somo trouble in inves tigating. He had made it his business to go into tho details connected with them, and ho found it impossible to deal with the matters in dispute. He was at a loss to know who could or could not sell lands. In Manono there are now living three Leatanns, each man claiming tho headship of tho family with its privileges. At Lelepa, on Upohi, there aro at the present timo two Magogis, each oneassertingthat hois therightfulowner to the name and privileges. There aro two Tofaionos of Vaiala, three or four Sei Dlis, two Fuaolefaus, and two Malieatoas, every one of these demanding to be received as the sole and only representative of the title. Under these circumstances ho, as British Consul, declined to enter into in vestigation of land titles until the Samoan Government had so organised itself as to be able to propose somo commission of inquiry which will be of a nature that England could recognise, In the meantime he will support tli. claims of British subjects to such land ns they hold under deed, and of which they arc in possession. When tho Samoan Government are prepared to go into this inquity in a regular manner thoy may depend that England would do them nil justice"' This applies equally in the present day ns it did in IS7B, nnd ns furthor bearing on the land question it may bo men tioned thatataconsularmtotiiigholdat Apia on _Sth August, IS7S, it was resolved that ;i public announcement should bo made to tho oll'ect that tho representatives of Germany, the United States, and Great Britain would not require tho Samoan <io verniueiit to recognise any future land sales unless such sales woro registered in the Consulate of the purchaser. Lands claimed by subjects of the follow ing Towers were set down as follows : — Acres, Groat Britain (McArthur and Co., ot Auckland) 300,000a others about .. .. ".000 Germany -00.000- Amorica 120.000 c a Chiclly on Snvaii. - Chi.Mly on Upolll. r Very doubtful. Samoa Shipping. Import and Export Returns at the Port t f Apia. No. of v's'is ar-ivlng.

The <__ Gei man arrivals, including traders, were made with 38 vessels. 'I'tie IS American arrivals were made with (locally)!) vessels.

Of tho Gorman imports, ,t'B,SOO was cash, of which i'S.tiOO cash and goods to the value of _:.*>,_,ll wero re-exported. Of the American, 11,000 wiih ea _i, and a considerable quantity of goods are re exported, but no account is procurable.

Dobts Owing by tho Samoan Government. British claims £">.171 Gorman do 13._00 American do .. no record obtainable. On Annexation.

Tlio Germans havo unquestionably got a firm grasp over the commerce of Samcn, and are absolutely opposed to all British interference that might load to England's obtaining suzoraincy of any kind over tho group, fearing action damaging to their commercial pursuits, and restrictive of the freo labour traffic. Tho traders as a whole desire somo simple form of native govern ment suilicient for the maintainanco of order and giving security to property ; but thoy are averse to annexation, which they view as synonymous with taxation, and re strictive ordinances opposed to that freedom of action in commercial pursuits upon which tho advancement and prosperity of tho country, in their eyes, depends. Soilio fow, however, argue that annexation means also Government expenditure, and such a cer tainty of security to person and property as will moro than counterbalance the incon venience of duties, licenses, and other gono ral restrictions.

At a meeting held at Apia on 2Sth August, ISBo—(Present: The lion. Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon, G.C.M.G., 11.8. M. High Commissioner and Consul-General for the Western Pacilic. and Governor of Fiji; Captain Otto Zembsch, 11.1. G.M. Consul-General; T. M. Dawson, United rftatos Consul for Samoa; John Hicks Graves, H.B.M, Consul for Samoa)— Sir Arthur Gordon stated : Tho Government of tho United States v. on Id not assume tho sovereignty of the Islands, that H.I.M. tho Emperor of Germany was equally resolved to avoid tho onerous responsibilities in volved by such a stop, and that Great Britain was firmly dotormitied not to tako such a step as that proposed. This determin ation was nut prom pted by any apprehension of national jealousies, but was a deliberate resolution on the part of Her Majesty's Government altogether to refuse duties and responsibilities which it did not fcol itself called upon to undertake, oven if it wero unanimously desired (which it is not) by the Samoans themselves, and wero not (which it is) inconsistent with tho provisions of treaty engagements solemnly entered into by tho Samoan Government. His Excellency further expressed himself that ho feared a long period of discord was but too probable, and that tho best that could ho dono would bo to tako all means which presented themselves of improving and strengthening tho native Government, imperfect and ineffectual as it was to be feared all such measures must prove. There is little doubt that sooner or later serious troubles and complications must arise in Samoa, and whatever Power may seek to tako over this rich and luxuri ous group of islands v. ill havo a difficulty to contend with similar to what we in New Zealand have in tho past gono through with tho Maoris. Amerioan Rights Over Pago Pago Harbour. It has been asserted that the possession of i that harbour is absolutely the proporty of the United States. This is not the case. Tho actual position of America with Pago Pago is set forth vory distinctly in Article 11. of tho Treaty of Friendship and Com merce between tho United States and the Government of the Samoan Islands, which was concluded and signed by their respoctlvo plenipotentiaries at tho city of Washington on the 17th of January, 187S, M. X, Lo Mamea, the Samoan Envoy Extraordinary, being at that time on a visit to tho States. It reads as follows :—" Naval vessels of tho United States shall have the privilege of entering and using the port of Pago Pago, and establishing theroin and on tho shores thereof, a station for coal and other naval supplies for their naval and commercial marino; and the Samoan

Government will hereafter neither exercise nor authorise any jurisdiction within said port adverse to such rights of tho United States or restrictive thereof. The same vessels shall also have the privilege of entering other ports of tho Samoan islands. The citizens of tho United States shall likewise have free liberty to enter the same ports with their ships and cargoes, of whatsoever kind, and to sell the same to any of tho inhabitants of thoso islands, whether natives or foreigners, or to barter them for the products of the islands.
