(i;y TEL_-IUI'H.—PAKUAMKHTAK KEPOKTKH.)

W__U-t-_ON, this day. I was informed yesterday by tho Ministerial reporter that it is intended to prosont a potition to Parliament on bohalf of Sir Julius Vogol, asking for a sottlomont of his long-standing claim against tho colony of £tj 200, alleged to be duo in con nection with tho raising of loans. On proceeding to investigate this, I dis-, covered that aoveral Opposition mombors I hr.d got hold of tho story, and thoy were unkind enough to associate tho intended presentation of tho potition with tho budget of correspondence regarding the inscription of stock lately laid on tho tablo. I subso miontly loarnt, as a matter of fact, that this petition would actually bo prosentod ca rly this week by Mr Macandrow. Latkk. I have just ascertained that it is likely Sir Julius Vogcls claim will not bo introduced in tho form of potition, but by motion, referring it to the Public Accounts Committeo, which is composod of tho following members: — Messrs Atkinson, Ballance, Barron, Brad shaw, Cowan, Dargaville, Hislop, Mont gomery, Moaa, Newman, Peacock, Wilson, ancj Sir Julius. Vogol.

PARLIAMENTARY GOSSIP.

(BY OUR bPECIAI, JREPORTER).

WW-LIVO-OX, this day. It is currently reported amongst tho Cantor bury members that Sir John Hull intends returning to tho colony in three months for tho purpose cf again entering on a political career. It is thought that tho ofToct of hia roturn will be tho bienking-up of tho solid Canterbury voto, and toonablo politics to re turn to thoir normal shape. It is understood that the Gevornment will go on with tho Local Bodies Powers and Finance Bill and Countiea Act Amend ment Bill to-morrow, and whilo these arc boing debated they will bo enabled to put tho finishing touches on their remoulded linanoial policy. As I havo already etatcd tho native policy bills will bo kept back till the fate of the other Ministerial proposals are decided. A memorandum has been issued to the Armed Constabulary that tho Defence Ministor has definitely docidod that tho members of tho field force will not be allowed to marry. Mr Fergus is moving in the Upper House with a now of getting tho Factory Amend ment Act thrown out.

Telegrams aro being received by Sir George Groy and Mr Pyke from different parts of tho colony, thanking them for thoir defonco of barmaids.

The Coroners' Act Amendment intro duced by Mr Tolo provides that tho con currence of four jurors in a verdict at any inquest or inquiry before any coroner shall bo sufliciont, and not moro than six persons shall at any timo be required to constitute a jury at any inquest. Mt Ivess, tho nowly-olectod member for Wakanui, arrived yesterday, and will tako his scat to-morrow.

The lands proposed to ba handed over to tho Auckland University College as resorves aro 10,000 acres at Taupiri; 10,000 acres at Karamu, Raglan ; 10,000 acros at Waimann, Whakatane ; 354 acres at Ararimu.

A. Macgrcgor, librarian to the General Assembly Library, who has resigned, has been granted throe months' leave of absence prior to his permanent retirement. Mr Wakefield twits Mr Stout on tho re jection of hie barmaids clause, and advises him to bring in a bill for tho abolition of' statesmon who can't frame a policy, and of lawyers who become mere lawyers when over law bills are brought in. The " Press " says tho method by which tho Government proposo to re-arrango their finance in consoquonoe of the rejection of tho budget is most unsatisfactory. Thoy simply propose to borrow the £70,000 which the additional Customs duties wero estimated to produce. Now this is surely not^.what tho House contomplatod when they refused to grant tho Govern ment any moro rovonuo from customs' duties. Not the budget alone was opposed, but the policy of increased unceasing borrowing was opposed not less omphati eally. Tho practical effect of this now financial arrangement is that tho subsidies of local bodies aro to bo paid wholly out of borrowed monoy, instead of being paid half out of tho rcvenuo. Will tho Houso consont to that ? We can't think it! i The Barmaids' Champion. Tho barmaids ot Wellington are so on thusiastic in their admiration of Mr Vincent Pyke'a dofenco of thom that it has been pro posed through tho local press that a bar maids' lcaguo should bo formed to keep tho member for Dunstan porpotually supplied with tho freshest and tastiest of button holo bouquets as a lloral tribute of thoir gratitude. The "I'ost" advises tho Premier, Mr Hobbs, and other amiablo and virtuous gontlomen, who, with no doubt the best intention in the world, tried thoir utmost last night to inflict a cruel wrong on a largo class of defenceless girla, to dovote tho recess to tho spocial study of barmaids.

LARRIKIN OUTRAGE

The Biters Bitten.

& s outrage of a type that is by no means uncommon in Auckland just now hal>£>encd outside tho Clarendon Hotol on Saturday night, A man was standing on tho pave ment when two follows come up behind and kicked him. Ho immediately turned upon tbem and struck ono of them, prostrating him on the ground. Tho other joined in tho attack, and met with a similar fato. 'Che two larrikins then mado a continued assault, but they had mistaken thoir man. Ho stopped back a piece, and .wing ing his stick round his head, cut ono of his assailants down and then doalt tho othnra blow on tho tomplo that loft him senseless on the ground. Having coolly asked if they wanted anymore, and receivhigno response, he went quietly on his way. A largo crowd had collected by thia timo, and aa ono of tho youths remained insensiblo for somo timo, lie was takon to tho shop of Ml' Henderson, chemist, and thence to the Hospital, where a .overo cut on his head was dressed. Tho lesson is ono that is likely to bo remembered by them.

The Barque Grasmere.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As I observe by a shipping paragraph in this morning's " Herald " that it is con templated to lovy a genoral average contri bution on the cargo of the barque Grns mere, from London, and as I find that a rumour is current that such a step is about to be taken on my recommendation, I feel that in justice to myself I must deny the authenticity of such rumour. So far from such paragraph being in accord with my viewa, I may state that after lieten ing to a full account of the circumstances of the case from the lips of the master, I havo advised him that he has not any claim for general average contribution. I do not think' that even the New Zealand Under writers' Association, with all their pre dilection for turning partial losses into general average—a predilection just now happily condemned by tho de cision of the .House of Lords in the case of tho ship Olaf Trygason— could maintain that the losses sustained by the Grasmere in crowding sail to keep oft' a lee shore are anything more than the result of ordinary exertions to which the the shipowner is bound by his duty to tho freighters,— Yours obediently, Thomas H. MabiN.
