BclcC-ivo LiK-iting of Parliament Buildings

Many members of thu House who, during tho session, havo boon suffering from ail monta of tho oyes, lay tho blamo on tho 0100- I ric li'dii: used for illuminating tho Chamber. Tho Houso Com__i--too;has reported drawing tho attention of tho Government to tho nocesaity of having somo better system ol heating, lighting, and ventilating Parlia ment Buildings. A fow days ago, through tho dofectlve_.o. 3 of one of tho chimneys, a portion of tl.o library was discovered to_be on firo, and had it not been for tho fact that Sir F.

can regis'i i a lien, but as it also declines to in.lv.iot.-_. thu cost, .;._ number of surveys of native lands for invcstig.it_on of titlo ha. necoiisarily very much diminished.

BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.

(UY TI.Lr.OIUI'>. — PAIir.IAMKNTABY

nm'oiiTKii.)

Wr.i.i.iN'.Tc..', this day

Ul'UlXfl yesterday ufternoon's sitting, Mr Bryco said ho had to bring boforo tho Houso what he considorcd to bo a broach of tho privileges of tho Houso. It might bo within tho recollection of tho House that a mossago wa. re ceived from tiio Legislative Council, ask ing that he might rcceivo permission to attend boforo a committoo of the Council, iv older to bo examined in a pot it ion connected with imputations made on tho Hon Mr Taiaroa. At 10 HO on Friday morning, ho accordingly attcudod as requested, aud submitted himself for tho purpose of giving ovidence. A question was then put to him us to tho power of the Crown over a certain sum of £4,000 ovor which somo discussion had arisen some years ngo. Ho said that ho had no notico ot that, and having stated tho tonus of tho

notico nerved on him, ho requested to be informed of thu nature of tho imputations on which ho was required to givo ovidence. Tho Chairman of Committoo then 'produced " Hansard," li'o, '21, of tho prosont se.sion, and turned to pago No. 230, referring him to a spoooh mado by Colonel Trimblo. Ho replied that ho was not prosont whon that speech was delivered, and had not soon it in "Hansard" since, but that as tho question put to thorn affected a speech mado by a member from his phico in tho Houso of Representatives, it appeared to him that that Comraitteo had no right to examiuo him in connection with it. Ho further stated that ho had always been particularly jealous of tho privileges of the Legislative Council, when overan opportunity occurredfor taking thoir part, but being an old mombar of tho House, ho was equally jealous of its privileges, and, as tho Committoo woro (as it appeared to him) placing a momber of that Houeo on his trial for words uttered in tho Honse, ho could not tako part in tbo proceedings ; anil, with every respect to tho Committee, ho begged leave to withdraw. Ho also stated to them that, as ho conceived, they wero committing a broach of the privileges of tho Houso, and ho might possibly on consideration bring the matter boforo tho Houeo. Hav ing now brought tho matter be foro tho Houeo, by stating exactly what took place, ho Mould leave it to tho Speaker to say whether anything further should bo done.

Air Si'EAKKR said tho hon. momber had dono his boiiuden duty in reporting tho matter to tho House. Members wore not to bo questioned anywhere or by any body as lo what was dono in tho House. It seemed to him that tbo matter waa a .Orion* breach of privilege. It was generally tho duty of the Ipadpr of tho Houso to propose somo motion on such an occasion. Tho message received by tho Houso was apparently an ordinary one, anei had ho cnteitaiued any suspicion that it was proposed to put on his trial an hen, member in regard to words spokon in tiio House, ho should have drawn tho nUonti.on of th 6 FIOUSu to it,

Tho Pbkmikb thought .ijafc a (_ret.ch of privilege had boon committed by thp'Legis; iutivo Council, anil thought a similar action should bo taken as was adopted fn 1577- Ho moved that a mo-sago bo transmitted to the Legislative Council that complaint had been mado to tho Houso of Representatives by on hon. member thereof that on his attending, pursuant to leave grunted to him, botoro a committoo of tjio Legislative Council on tho petition of tho Hon. Mr Taiaroa, it was proposed to 05 ---aniino him in respect of words spoken in fi. debato in tho House, and this Houso con siders it a high breach of privilego that any of its members should bo questioned out of tho Houso about anything said or dono in tho Houso. It has resolved to revoke tho leave granted to the Hon, Mr J-.yce to attend and givo cvi lolloo.boforo a committee of the Legislative Council on tho petition of tho Hon, Mr Taiaroa.

Mr Hurst wanted to know whether it would not bo vii.o, instead of revok ing loavo to refer tho mattor 'to tho Council. Perhaps tho Committee had acted undor a misapprelieusion., and thoy should be all'ordod a chance of ro tiring from tho position thoy had taken up. Sir (IKQ. Gw.Y suggested that it would bo hotter to givo notice cf motion to-day, and move it on tho noxt sitting day, so ttiat mombors might havo timo to think whether tho courso proposed would bo tho best to tako.

Mr Macasdbew' thought this suggestion a vfcry good ono. Whilo not willing to re cedo from tho position laid down in caso of broach of privilege, mom hers would recol lect that Colonel Trimble had used strong language respecting tho Hon, Mr Taiaroa,

a vbe.-'S a.-ss= was in the accusations marlo. Tho PBE-HEB did not think it was „ Jossary for an adjournment.as there wa been accu e d wro ,, c fully, he might expect to bo allowed an opportunity c, vindicM n , himself, but tho courso adopted by the Council was not a proper one to P«»»°- The resolution was theii_put and can 01. ! Ri- Geo. ORKVO-kcd it this House had power to inquire into the conduct c, a member of tho Upper House The SrE_.--F.R replied in mo no_.im - Thov could only inquire into rnembors of S w House. Such meirbors were tZonll* to Ibis Ilou.o for what was said bit and woro not responsible elsewhere.

CAPTAIN RUSSELL'S MOTION

Carried toy Fiftoon Majority.

(P.Y TELEGKArU— I'AKLIAMEKTAKY Xl PORTEK.)

Wi-itNOTON, t,lia lJa-v' After four clays of a -tate of affairs that a Lord Dundreary would say "Ko fellah could understand," wo arc at last beginning to sco daylight. Major Atkinson has played tho part of a political mactcvalo with groat success. Ho ha. snubbed tho Go vernment, helped tho Canterbury party to rovongo themselves on » *' cates of othor public works, and ha. c-oo- GOiil'vtedlhis con-act. party, ana Hu^iuc all these a.oh.c-o..icnts, his action has boon consistent and quiio constant with the profi'ammo laid down for thu cpe.atM.n of '-:s party early m tho .o.stou. Ai <m mu..y .■jjpmbeni of the party very rouoh dfciii-i- th V ftttii.uj.je taken up by their leader, but lis fin >X w-" *f*s confidonco reposed in him ei-.WW) brought them all to hi. way of thinking, it nnpoara that the Canterbury party at first merely wanted a reduction of soiao WOO 000 to bo distributed over spociiiw works ; Major Atkin. on, however, insisted that tho amount should bo __COO.OOfI to pre vent tho raising of a loan, and Capt. bussei, who was, of course, merely a puppet all through, took Major Atkinson's advice, and tiie Canterbury manipulators had to bow to tho groat power, Yesterday afternoon it transpired that tho Opposition had abandoned their success, if such it should prove, on Captain Russoll's resolution, by mov in<? -' forthor direct vote recommending the Go . eVnmcni to t-.k_l.ack their Estimates and recast thejn. Ovc'turcs wero ~.au. _o Mr Ormond to 808 whether no would support them in this eoureo, but ho declined to do co, although before leaving fo. _.apcr yestor.ay afternoon ho paired j_gain.ii tho Govornmont on tho East and West Coast line question, votes for water racos, and othor necessary work.. Many m_'-.bevs of tho Opposition are averse to any fsrtfcor (lotion being taken against tiio Ministry tliis sßssjon, bow that their hands aro so tied as to pro/en. the;a dninc any serious mischief during tho recess, On tho House assembling to-night, there was a largo attendance, nearly HO members boing present. Tho Houso, however, had trlkeJitscl' out on tho _ übjectof thcEast r.nd West ' Oe.fe -_ai.wav, and tho dob. tc collapsed. Soon' -.ft-*' C o'clock Mi O'Callaglian's amendment v.a_ io. t ;..i t.i,: voices, and Captain Ru-sell's motion wa. put and carriod by a majority of 15.

PUBLIC WORKS ESTIMATES.

Reduction ol Public Works Votes

Aftor tho division, tho PREMIER promptly moved tho Houso into Committoo of Supply. No sooner had tho first item of Railway Estimates been movod, than_ it bo caino apparent that tho Opposition had mado a mistake in not also passing a resolu tion compelling the Government to ins',rind tho Committoo as to \. hero reductions might bo made. Fully an hour-andnhalf was lost in discussing which reductions wero to bo made, but eventually Mr Richardson gave way and carried out the spiiit of his promise, given immediately after the pro posing of Captain Russell's motion. Mr Hisi.or, who in the meantime had threatened further complications by moving tho reporting of progrees to enable tho Go vernment to consider the situation, came in for some slanging from thopo who wish to koep tho Govornmont in and thoir policy out. After a good deal of talk, ho withdrew his motion, and tho Com mittee proceeded to roduco the votes, as suggested by Mini-tors, with the greatest impartiality.

Tho following reductions wero mado in railway votes :—Huntly branch, £12,000, reduced by j_ll;.09; Hoiensville north wards, £20,000, struck out; Hamilton Grahamefcown, £11,000 off £40,000 ; Napier, Woodvilie, and Palmerston North, £Oo,COO off $114,000) Main Trunk lino, Mar ton To Awamgtu, .t.15.000 off £173,000 ; East and West Coast Railway, <'!■.0,000 ; Picton, £8,000 out of £25,000) Livingstone branch, i'S.OOO out of L'l7,-100 : Otai_o Cen tral £25,000 out of £131,0001 Wairaoa- Switzors, £10,000; voids additions on open railways, £20,000.

"Rationalism and Poverty."

On Wednesday ovoning, at tho Foresters Hall, Tsowton, a loeture was delivered on " nationalism and Poverty '' by Mr I_. Ed wards, under tbo auspicos of the Rational istic Association, Mr Leors presiding. The lecturer remarked that tho strongest in stinct of humanity was that of self-preserva tion, Its great enemy (poverty) was a mout prolific sonrco of crime and degr.ida lion, and poverty,*therefore, should bo re duced as far as possible. It was not capital, but private ownership in Jand.v, liich was so inimical to labour," and produced so much destitution. In sociology some questions had been too superficially studied, and instead of people gem™ tn l^o j^.q!; of ij'hot was distinctively known as Iho social eyil'for.tho pjru.se of c.'-.eting its euro, fiiev frittcporl away their ot/orts in harassing the unfortu.iia.tb subjects of it. ]fo believed that rationalism was best calculated to lessen tho giganiie evil of poveity by in sisting on moro equablo economical con ditions. Tho lectin, was well received Previous to its delivery, Mr Edwards road ono of G. R, __ims's most pathetic poems. Songs werp also rendered by Mesdames Leers oiid Hibberd, and Mr Sweotmnn. After sotpo discussion the meeting dissolved]

MEETING OF NEWMARKET RATEPAYERS.

A meeting of tho ratepayers of the abovo district was held last evening, in the New market Hall. His IVoßsnir Tin: Mayor presided, and in opening, lamented the paucity of attendance, which ho attributed to l iv.' meeting being held at 7.30 in "cad ol S o'clock. Ho then read the advert bewent >. ! convening the meeting, which slated thai it was to oonsioe. iho proposal to bo.row C-l (100 for tho purpose of obtaining a "-an >■ supply, and £;.,000 for a drainage scheme.

Mr Suiter staled that ho did not quito agree with the plan forwarded, as ho would like a larger pipe laid down Kyber Pass. Tho Govornmont would give th.m £500 in order to have the water hid down to tho railway shops. But this re quired to bo done quickly. Ho did nut know what his 'opponents had to bring ugainst the scheme, but he would point out that the insurance premium. would bo reduced by luily one half, which would mean a saving of .1,000 per annum, The Government had offered to cive them £4,000 at 6_ per cent., and this would mtvely mean n cost ot £26n, -hi!e, the" would effect a saving of £1,000 ~, v mmum 10 '.!'•» -»•■• u r ..ue..s ;Ue:ie. lie need not speak further, au no had found out that the less he said tho better.

Mr Jeskins said that a.a living Council lor he had much pleasure in addressing them, tie contended that thoy should know how much tho drainage was likely to oust before they voted the money.

THE COACH-BUILDING IN DUSTRY.

Mr James Mackie, coach-builder, High -.rcet, has just completed at his factory a commodious omnibus to tho order of Mr P. .1. Smith, who intends to place it on tho Mount I_t._u line. The vehiclo should prove a great addition, as it is vory com iortable inside, having crimson velvet cushions ami scarlet hanging's,, to which _s added the beon of a patent ventilated roof, so constructed that tho passcu gera will be perfectly securo from at.y unpleasant draught. Inside there will be ample accommodation for tj-uiipeu persons, whilo four more will lind tit ling room in front with tho driver. Even hero tho passcngois' comfort has received especial consideration, a few extra inches being alloyed, ia order that the nether limbs may not be cramped. The 'bus is painted a rich cream colour, re lieved with an Indian cream panel, in which is painted tho namo of the 'bus, "Favorite," in large whito Setters shaded with bine, the whole being entwined with scarlet stripes around tho edges. On either side will bo lixed lights, an.l in front a largo verandah will greatly tend to shelter the driver from both sm, and rain. On the front wheela is a half-point locking stop, which is much safer than tho old sly!e_ In fact, tho whole turn-out appeals >i very creditable article. The same firm aro also completing a largo spring fr.rnitrre waggon, to iho order of the . ttv I-oaliuid .l-xpre-i, Company, Tinner!.!.. This is similar in stylo to the'largo vans now ia use by the various forwarding agents in this city, though several slight jni provements have been effected, one grpit point being that tho van in cpurro of con struction ii much lighter than tiio.e now in uso. It may seem somewhat strange that a Dunedin firm should obtain waggons in Auckland, but it appears that Mr Maekio, having mado one for Mr J. Craig, a, photograph of it wus sent to tho Suuthc-in city, which resulted in an order being given for a similar one. It is to bo hnpcd'tiial this is hut tho first of a seri, s of orde-.s. Mr Maekic is also executing an order for a largo battel' van "for the Ke» Zealand Frozen Meat and Storage Company, who, in conjunction with Messrs Glonvillo and KilyoLt, who have taken over this department, and intend to receive butter by train, storo it in tho fico-ving chamber, and deliver it, as wanted to the various establishments in the city. Ti'ic van IC i'J '"' covered in, and so coiishuctcd as to carry twenty ' ho::C3, each containing tvO'shs of butter. It is also c'onteiiipiatid i.avin,.; _ second -~.n > when required by the trade," ' ''

Tho qucsttoii of whether tho propo.-odj| heavy expenditure on the dcfeiieo of the colony is justifiable has been raised nt Dunedin by Rear Admiral Scott, who last night read a paper on the suhj of. before a public meeting Tbo following resolutions wero pn.scd, tho cooperation of all tho colonial centres being invited in support thereof:-—" 1. That this meeting views with uneasiness tho amount of money pro posed to he expended on tho defences of tho colony, end respectfully urges upon Governin -nt the wisdom of curtail ing tho same as much as possible, and al-o taking into consideration the desira bility of countermanding tho orders sent to England for heavy guns, ammunition, etc.; (2) that Iho Volunteer force has new been established _■_ years, being fairly eiliciont, and capable of being made still moro so, is willing, and if properly organised, can defend tho colony in case of attack, tho elVects of such a plan would bo to develop a spirit of patriotism, roul would bo much more economic ,11 ijan the system now.being carried out; |3) that the continued employ ment of tho A C for purposes of defence e;..n only !■ „ regarded as tending towards tea creation of c sianding army that would be highly roptignant to the wishes of the colonists ; a permanent force of this nut urn |8, moreover, n burden which New Zealand in its present, depressed state is unab'o to bear."
