[FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.}

Wellington, Friday Questions.

Mr Fishbr gave notice to ask the Govern ment whether any communication was re ceived from the Home authorities on the subject of rendering Imperial aid in the construction in colonial ports of docks capable of accommodating Her Majesty's ships.

Mr Richardson, in reply to the question, said the Public Works Statement would come down in a few days

The. Naplor Gas Company.

An hour was spent in discussing tho report of the Local Bills Committeo on the Napior Gaa Company's Act Amendment Bill, a measure for the purpose of establishing gas ■ works at the town of Hasting. The site solectod for the works was near the property of a person who had petitioned the Housa for a right of action igainst the Company in caso of injury arising through tho gas -works The Committeo has inserted a clause in the bill dealing with the objector's petition, and it was not without some trouble that Mr Russell, who had the bill in charge, suc ceeded in obtaining its recommittal. Native Lands Court Bill. Mr Ballance moved the second reading of the Native Lands Court Consolidation Bill, and in doing so suggested its roference to the Native Affairs Committee. Mr Brvce was understood to say that he did not object to the proposal of Mr Bal lance. Colonel Trimijlk questioned the desira bility of permitting the measure to go to a committee, the whole business of which was done by two European mem bers and the Maori mombera. The whole working of this Committeo was tedious and unsatisfactory, aial ho thought it should be reconstructed. Wi Pure and Te Ao supported tho re ference ot tho bill to the Native Affairs Committee. Mr HahLiN commendod the bill, which, he thought, did not require to go through committee, as thore was but little new in it. It was meroly a consolidatory measure, and was generally approvod of, and the course proposed by tho Government was only a means of retarding it, After briof remarks from the other mem bers, Mr Ballanck replied, and the second reading was carried without dissent. Various Bills. TheWostland and Grey Education Boards Bill, River Boards Bill, Coroners Bill, Rabbit Nuisance Act Continuance Bill were read a second time. Customs Duties Bill. Sir Julius Vogel moved tho Customs and Exeißo itutiea Bill, which he moptioned was merely a formal measure to confirm the resolution of tho Ways and Moans Com mitteo re Tariff, and the matter of tho Tobacco Excise Extension. Now Zealand tobacco, ho said, was not strong enough for manufacture by itsolf. Mr Moss spoko forcibly on the general bad state of tho finances of the colony, and called on membors to think for themeelves independently of the recognised leaders of the House He moved that eomo day next woek, tho dato to bo loft blank, the House go into committeo for the purpose of con sidering finance. Mr Wakkfield attacked the extension of tho protective tariff on locally-made tobacuo, which, ho said, was manufactured chiefly from imported loaf. Ho also con sidered it a l-otrogrudo step to raise tho duty on Australian wines mado in Now South Walts and South Australia, whiuli woio free trader?, aud took a large quuntity of ojr product*. Tho statosinen of Australia felt Btrongly on thoee intercolonial protective dulios. He said that Imperial tcdoration and military federation wore mere bugatil'es, compared with tho groat com uicrcial federation that would eventually como and unito tho Australian

Mr Peacock indignantly assorted that tho romnrkH from tho last speaker had a damaging oll'tct on a now industry in the colony, which bado fair to becomo a very thriving one. Ho was interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment. At tho evening sitting, tho disousßion on the Customs Excise Unties Bill was con tinued.

Mr Peacock urged that tho production of tobacco in Auckland ought to bo en couraged for another two jour*. The in dustry had been a successful ono, and ought to be fuithor devoloped. Mr Bkyce eaid ho accepted generally tho increases of tho Committeo in Customs duties. Ho had observed that the Committeo had accoptod with alacrity tho duties on spirit?. Ho did not altogether agroo with those incroaeos, and ho was not sure that thoro was no such thing in the colony us illicit distillation or smuggling. Ho accused Mr Moss of frequently speaking for no other object than to air his own eloquence. Captain Suttkk explained that he had seconded tho amendmont at a joke.

Mr Tprnbull denied that Mr Moss nas addicted to airing his eloquence, and ho was perfectly sure that no member in tho Iloueo had pure career thau tho membj^ f o j. p orn ell, who always had tho couragj o f nia opinions, dtthesamotimojie, tfcught the amend ment should bo wuhjrawn Mr Hckst said f bat th " o extra 6d im . posed on colonial wjnog WM a m j sta k o , and unless it W£J roponled Now South Wales would be BIU . O lo t ft x the natural products of , v /oaland. Ho spoke of tho oarnestness !"\j zeal with which tho membor for Parnell had followed up his line, but thought it was a mistake for any lion, membor, without communion with his fellows, to ondoavour to load the' House in a matter like his amendment oponed up. Tho Government had, in hie opinion, sown seed which was calculated to depress tint colony, and thoy ought to be kept on the Treasury Benches to reap the benefits of the seed which they had sown. The Public Works Statement had been purposoly kept back because support hingod on the works the Government would givo to certain districts. He hoped the member for Parnell would withdraw his resolution.

The Theasuker stated that when the Financial Statoment was brought down he estimated a surplus of .£30,000 for the cur rent year. Against that thoro would be the charges for supplementary estimates, but as a rule the increased sum that was required for them was covored by the savings in expenditure on the amount voted for the estimates. The amount voted was rarely expended, bo that it might be es timated that, as he had Stated, there would be a surplus of £30,000 on the estimates brought down under the Financial Statoment. The House, in its wisdom, however, bad neon fit to strike out a sum of £70,000 to £75,000, which it was proposed to raise by increased Customs duties, and had also struck out the clause in the Deceased Estates Duties Bill, That was done under a high sense of conscientious honour by members, who thought that the legislation waß retrospective. As regards making up the cum of £75,000 lost by the non-increase of the tariff, it had been stated to tho House that the Govern ment proposed not to pay off £50,000 from tho deficit "I iiieir pre decessors, and if *«•« hopes of his hon. friends woio realised, they might have the nio.-v.ure of dealing with that deficit f+.iiiselves. (Laughter.) At all events, the Government proposed postponing that for two years. Then there was £25,000 for pormanent defence pur poses, which would bo charged on the Public Works Fund instead of on re venue, as had been proposed. That disposoi of the Customs revenue. As regarded the deficit on tbo Deceased Persons Estafr s Act, he could not speak positively, or about any final proposal that might have to be made, because he had not haa time to examine the revenue receipts uptotheendofJuly, which wouldgivoa a fair indication of the result of the financial year, On the whole, he did estimate that the Government would not have to increase the proposals which they made with regard to the Property Tux, or at any rate, if they did increase it, it would bo very little. He hoped it would not be neceßeary to do so, though another one-eighth of- a penny might be necessary. He would like to point out that, in regard to revenue, the House must consider that the late Govern menthad made railways a taxing machinery, but this Government had not done so, hence tke falling of the railway revenue.

Mr Hurstiiouse could not at present support the revolutionary motion of the member for Parnell. He disapproved of the course adopted by Government in pro viding ways and means for measures before they bad decided what the measures should be. He characterised the establishment of the tobacco industry in Auckland as an absolute and entire failure.

Dr. Newman expressed the opinion that the Financial Statement delivered that night had given little information, ani that the deficit next year would be very large

indeed. He accused the last speaker of in consistency in urging that the expenditure should be curtailed, and supporting the construction of the East and West Coast Railway. . , .• „ Mr HuRSTHOuaE desired to mase " personal explanation. He had not voted for the construction of tho Bast and West Coast Railway, but for the appointment ol a committee to consider the question. 11 the hon. member hod accused him ot su P [)orting the proposals made by tiie Colonial Treasurer, he had accused him W The second reading of the bill was carried on the voices. Mr Moss's amendment accordingly lapsed. Second Readings. Tho second readings of the following measures were moved and agreed to without debate :-Public Reserves_ Act Amendment (Ballance), Gold - mining Districts Act Amendment (Larnach), omp nine and Seamen's Act Amendment (Lar nach), Middle Island Half-oaste Grants (Ballance), and Rating Act Amendment, No. 2 (Tolo).

Justices of the Peace Act, In moviug the second reading of the Jus tices of the Peace Act Amendment Bui, tne Minister- of Justice explained that it was a consolidation bill. An important feature dealt with was the rota of Justices, lne honour conferred on some gentlemen had boon abused by their not doing a fair share of the work. To explain his meaning he had prepared a list showing the number ol Justices of the Peace who had sat on the bench in tho largo centres during the past year, and as it might prove interesting, he would read it. It was as tol lows:-Auckland: Number of Justices, 98 ; number who sat, 36. New Plymouth : Justices, 13; who sat, 8. Napier; Jus tices, 29; sat, 21. Gisborne ; Justices, 13j sat, 13. Wellington: Justices, 94; sat, 58. Wanganui: Justices, 27 ; eat, 17. Nelson i Justices, 25 ; sat, 9. Christ church : Justices, 88 ; sat, 23. Ashburton: Justices, 19 ; sat, 16. Timaru : Justices, 16; sat, 16. Oamaru : Justices, 19 ; sat, 10. Invercargill: Justices, 18 ; sat, 14. Dunedin: Justices, 91; sat, 24. The return should show the nocossity of some measure of reform. He proposed, undor the present bill, that if a justice twice failed to answer his rota, his namo should bo struck off tho roll. Porhaps tho measure was too drastic in some re.ipeots, and was imperfectly drawn. Mr Hitrhthouse said the Minister had hardly done the Justices of the Peace fair justice. In all groat centres of immorality and wretchedness, it, might be that Justices did not do their duty, but tho measure would bo totally inoperative in many of the country districts. In clause "Kota of Justices" he phould move an amend ment, " That the bill should not apply savo to boroughs." There was a time when it was supposed to be an honour to be a Justice of tho Peace, but he could not cay that was the case now. Ho repudiated the observation that Justices of the Peace owed the country anything. The country owed a great deal to the justices who did their duty. Mr Peauouk denied that the non-attend ance of justices was due to unwillingness to sit in the Court-houso, but on account of no proper rota being prepared. Mr Samoel Baid that tho present Minister of Justice was always wanting some ofhis powers taken away from him. If Justices of the Peace failed in the performance of their duty, or if iruprof er appointments had been made, it was the duty of the Ministor himself to strike them off the roll.

Mr Downie Stewart scored a point when ho said there were two classos of justices—UlCßO who sat on the bench, and thoeo who wore always available for pur poses of taking statutory declarations. Mr Lkvestam thought the list of justices roquired purging. He had known capes where unqualified porsons had adjudicated on mattorj requiring most careful considera tion.

Tho second reading of tho bill was carried on tho voices.

Fisborlos Encouragement Bill.

The Houso went into committee on tho Fishciiea Encouragement Bill.

Mr BEETHAM moved'an amendment to make tho hill apply to fresh- A-ator fish. Mr Stout suggested to strike out tho words "salt water" instead, which wns carried.

Mr Stout moved that clause 8 be post poned, providing that a bonus may bo paid on canned li.ih.

Mr Barron suggested that progress be reported, as tho whole of the remaining clauses hinged on clauao 8. He objected to tho system of bonus proposed by tho bill. Sir Juijuh Vookl said substantial bonuses were paid in tho Scotch and I ii;ih fisheries. lie thought tho advantago to bo gained by the bill would fully compensate for the bonusos asked for.

(Jobnel Tktmiile asked whether a bonus would also bo given to tho farming industry for the production of wheat and the growth of sheep. Ho thought it was tho duty of the Housn to opposo class legislation. Mr Macandbkw looked on bonuses as a moans towards an end. It was well known that bonufes to Irish and Scotch fisheries had ceased for years past. He was amazed at Colonel Trimblo's narrow mindedneps on the question. Ho thought fi-sberiea would contributo far more to tlio revenue than tlic bonus amounted to. He hoped tho Houso would paps tho bonus. As tar as ho was concerned, he wished it were threo times tho amount.

After some furthor discussion, clause 9, providing that the tonnago in which bonuses may be granted shouM not oxceed

Ata lator ])our in tho orening, clauso 8, bonus to bo paid for canued ilah, was con sidered.

Mr Stout moved a resolution, granting an appropriation for the purpose, which was roported to the House.

An amendment to insert the words " and cured " fish, aB being entitled to a bonus, was carried by 26 to 14. A further discussion ensued on the motion for the third roading of tho bill. It was eventually read a third time, and passed. Lifo Assurance Policies. The Houso went into Committee on the Life Assurance Policies Act, 1884, Amend mpnt Pill, which was reported without amendments, road a third, time, and passed. Tho House rose at twenty minutes past ono a.m.

Wellington, Friday.

In the Houso this afternoon,

Mr Ob^osd asked Government if they would inform the House what reply Had been recoivod from the delegates in Eng land to the cablegram which the Houso was informed had been pent asking further information re the terms for the Construction of the Bast and SVeat Coast Railway? ~,>->-,--■■*

Sir J. Vooel roplie^'as follows:—The reply of the dola£«tos was to the effect that the guamieo appliea to any deficiency in w c: king expenses in addition to the £97,000 ; payments on account of guarantee to be re couped from excess of receipts of line over working expenses, but not from receipts from land. There was an addition about constructing tboliuo inthree portions, which we could not comprehend, and which seemed inadmissible. We considered, however, that there was no use replying to it, but that it should be laid before the Select Committee in common with the other pro position which I alluded to in 1117 remarks in moving for the Committee. The words of the telograms were:—"Net amount receiv able by syndicate must be £97,000, Govern-' merit also paying any deficit in working expenses. All profits from laud must belong to the syndicate, these profits being the chief inducement to investors. Payment under guarantee during every year recoup from profit. Line probably built three or more portions by separate issues. Laud being allocated here rateable, therefore neces-sary provide guarantee dividend rnteability, aud failure one portion not entails forfeiture others. Saving clause present contract also necessary. Nothing less than these terms any use whatever." I take the opportunity of saying that the Govern ment considered the division on the sub ject of the committee an indication that the House is unwilling to urge on the agreement made by the delegates, and have telegraphed as follows: — "Parliament refuse to sanction the delegates' agreement." The Government understand that to be the feeling of the House. It is inadvisable, in answer to a question, to further state the views of the Government on the subject,

BILLS AND PAPERS BEFORE PARLIAMENT.

(BY TELEGRAPH—PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER.)

Wellington, this day. Thk Property Tax Ccnsolidation Act 1885 Amendment, introduced by Mr Tole and circulated last night, deals with the release of mortgages and acknowledgments by married women of deeds executed by them. A return laid on the table of the House shows that since July 20, 1883, 887 persons have paid succession duties, the net revenue derived being £78,053. The return of Crown lands available for settlement laid on the table last night is as follow: -Auckland,4so,oooacres; Taranaki, 120,000 acrea ; Hawke's Bay, 100,000 acres ; Wellington, 300,000 acres ; Nelson, 41,000 acres; Marlborough, 10,000 acres ; Canter bury, 180,000 acres; Otago, 860,000 acres; Southland, 140,000 acres : Total, 2,201,760 acres.

Ihe Property Assessment Bill of 1885 proposes to tax the funds of the Government Life Insurance. Yesterday Mr Fisher, on behalf of policy-holders, presented a petition, protesting against the proposal, and stating that their actuary estimates that a tax of one penny per £ on its accu mulated fund would, on tho compound in terest, cause aloes to the association of at leaßt £40,000 at tho end of next quin quennium.

DEVONPORT CEMETERY

At the meeting of ihe Waitemata County Council yesterday, Messrs M. Niccol and E. Bartley appeared as a deputation in reference to the cemotery. The Chairman aaid two claims for compensation had been made in respect of the land taken for this purpose, one being a claim for £300 on account of Mr Figg. A county rate had been struck over the districts. Messrs Niccol and Alison considered the jd rato too high, and thought thut it should not havo exceeded kd. Mr Alison moved accordingly. Mr iMiccol ulso thought tho Lako district should contribute. The Chairman moved, and Mr Sinclair seconded, that tho Jd rate be struck, although at tho samo time the Chairman said he beliovod that Jd would he sufficient for all purposes. It would give them sufficient lor tho cemetery, and a balance for tho county roads.—Messrs Lloyd, Sin clair, and others supported the fd, and urged that if tho Devonpoit people felt aggrieved they could form a borough.—Mr Niccol pointed out tho injustice to Northcote and Birkenhead, who had paid the amount re quired to prevent the rate being levied. The motion ;for a Jd rate was' carried. Mr Alison did not press his amendment, but protested against the breach of faith with Takapuna.

BOARD OF EDUCATION

The weekly meeting of the above body was hold yesterday afternoon, there being pre sont:—Messrs J. H. Upton (Chairman), J. M. Clark, S. Luke, J. D. Carr, Theo. Cooper, and D. Goldie.

Mount Eden,—The Committee urged the necessity of ropairß being effected to the roof of the schoolmaster's houso, and also tho want of an additional room : Referred tv Mr Allright. i>Kvo.sroßT. —Tho Chief Inspector and Mr Allright reportod that there was no very groat need fur a Becond teacher's room, but recommended that a tank should ba grantod.—Agreed to consult the Committee. Miss Harlikg's Case.— A largely -signed memorial was received from the residents of tho Wniorongoinai district, stating that Mies Harling had always given great satisfaction as a school teacher; that she was considered to bo quito blameless in connection with the offence alleged against Mr liuwkiiiH; and therefore asking that her services should borotainedatWaiorongomai. It was agreed to reply that the Board had alrondy appointed the lady to another school.

Official Assiqnek'.s Claim.—lt was resolved not to recognise the Official Assignee's claim in respect of salary paid to Ponsonby Poacpcko, and if necessary to contest it at law.

New Scholarship Regulations.—The Hamilton West Committee wrote protesting against the new scholarship regulations, re presenting that the subjects set for the senior, scholarships examination were too numerous and too advanced, and that while those set for <;he junior examination were in advance of work for tho Cth Standard, the maxi mum age of candidates (thirteen years) was tho average for the 4th Standard : Kosolved to reply that, as regulations have been formally approved by the Minister, subject cannot now be re-opened. The new regulations lirst take effect at the examina tions of August, 1886.

""^fe'JOS^Jgum^Srirooii.— Mr Peacock, M.H.U., had wtau? '♦fite!»OTno A _High School Bill appropriates reserves 3ieldi,ng a third of totul roaervo3. Have the Com missioners agreed ?." Jt was resolved that tho Board could not agree to the provisions of tho bill.

A NEW TOTALISATOR.

Perhaps there is no gieater cause of con fusion, inconvenience, and locs of time at a rare meeting than that arising from the in -1 ability of tho totalisntor to issue its tickets at a pace equal to the demand, and suffi ciently fast to prevent a jostling crowd congregating around the machine. With the object of romoving the difficulties at present existing-, Mr T. W. Hickeon, of this city, lias invented a new totalizator, Culled tho "Triumph," and, one of the machines, on the principle of his patent, has just beon fitted up at Fraser and Tinne's foundry. We have seen it in operation, and there can bo no doubt that it is an immense improvement on the pro sont system. By the employment ot ten or twenty (if necessary) clerks, it can issue atid register ten to twenty for each one that passes through the present machines; and not only that, but tho mechanism provides perfect accuracy, and the changing numbers are shown on the face of the machine. It is provided with I threo Puts of stamping levers, ten in $ach set, which are ranged behind the counter i somewhat like the handles of beer pumps, Each ticket, as it is issued, it) stamped with, a deep embossed imprint of the number oi; tho horse upon which it is issued. The movement of the lever in stamping the ticket has the effect of dropping an iron ball weighing; about tight ounces into a short iucliu<jd funnel or channel, which guides i,t on (jo trie .drum of the rocording d^al'oi' tho horse with whose number, the ticket was stamped. All the levers, (thero may be several on each horse) on one horse may be stamping together, and all the b.ills drop into the oue tunnel, but two cannot pass over recording drum simultaneously. They pass in single file at a rapid rate, unii each one in parsing presses a spring lover, which acting on the dials, records " ono " against than horse on each face of the machine. It is then conducted by a continuation of tho inclined funnel to the drum of the two grand total dials, and records ono upon each of them as it passe*. Each, as it completes its errand, is conveyed back by an elevator to tho reservoir, con taining a roservo supply of balls, which are ready to fill every vacancy caused by the action of the lovers as they start tho' balls off on their respective rounds. Scores of these balls may be set in motion and perform their respective rounds nimul taneously without any clashing. No less than 40i) of these balls are ÜBed in working the machine. The machine may be worked both from the tacdling paddock and the course, as the stamping levers at tho counters are connected with it by wires, and may be worked Irom any moderate distance." This also eecures extended elbow room, as the counters may be carried out 50 feet from tho machine, thus giving several hundred feet additional elbow room. The number of tickets on each horao, and the total tickets issued, are shown on both faces of the totalisator.
