HOUSE OF KEPKESENTATIVES.

Wellington, last night.

" Te Koiimako.

Mr Vauuavilvr has given notice to ask the Government to place on tho supplementary estimates a sum in aid of tho Maori publi cation, "Korimako," it being non-political j and unsectarian, having for its ohie ob joct the amelioration of race in respect of sanitary laws, temporanco, industry, &c, and being the only reading matter of tho kind within tho reach ot tho Maori rnco in their own language Questions. Nsticcs of questions wore given as fol lows :—lf the Govornment will reconsider tho question of tho different rates on the Blufl-Invorcargill Railway, with a view to readjustment on un equilablo basia (Mr Joyce). there is any objec tion on the part of tho Government to grant long-service medals to those members of the police whoso long services anil good conduct entitle them to Borne such recognition. Also, that there bu laid on tbo table n return showing tho amounts paid by tho several olliciul assignees in h inkruptcy out of bankrupt estates for lv.v charges, and to whom paid (Mr Ifiehor). Koplios to Questions In answer to quoations, Ministers stated that it was not tho intontion of the Govern ment to resume the system of nominated im migration at present, but would consider tho matter at a later period of tho session. They had mado arrangements wheroby persons injured in working Government railways should got somo Government oin ployment afforded thorn. Thero wore sevcial such persons now awaiting employ ment. When vacancies occurred, preference would be given to them. Tho Government would not bo justified in placing a sum on tho Estimates to connoct Otahuhu with tho Nightcaps by telephone. Xiunntio Asylum Scandal. In asking the Government if they are aware that two fomalea have been detained in tho Wellington Lunatic Asylum since tho 27th and 30th May last, that these females lrnvo been detained without medical certifi cation of their insanity, and how long it is intendci to keep them in the asylum before bringing them before medical men with tho view to certifying iw to their insanity. Mr Bhaiwhaw said that last (session ho brought under the notice of the Government abuses which ho considered resulted through tho uclioi) of the Resident Magistrate in sending pewGn»toaHy)iunß and having Hiom detained thuro for wceku or months without medical eorlilieatos, and wlion tl.eso persona wuro examined they woro not found iu.'-ano at all. Having read over tho Lunacy Act, ho was of opinion that tlio females in question wero improperly dotainod. Tlioy woro not danger ous when remanded, but wero sick and in tho hospital, as ho had statod, they woro not insane, and yot they woro sont to tho Asylum and kept for five or six weeks. With tho members for llokonui and Invor cargill, ho visited t!>o Asylum on Saturday, and having gono over tho institution ho found it moot scrupulously olean and in lino ordor. One of the fomulo inmates roforred to was lying in a padded cell paralysod and unable to move. Tho other was working with a needle, mid, he believed, was perfectly s-ano. Ho understood the medical report had been received, and that it had boon fouud that these two persons wero not i:;c:ino. Ho nt-ked what tho Go vernment intended to do in tho matter. Mr ToLE : In reply to tho lion, gentleman all 1 can s-ay is that tho facts that are men tioned in the first portion of tho question aro correct. So far as I understand I regret to eiiy tlint it is t-o. Tho Resident Magistrate committed these two females to tho Lunatic Asylum f»r an indefinite period. They wero rcloutLcl, I bolievo, on Saturday. Ono has gono to tho Hospital and tho other to friends. Since those facts havo como undor my notice, I have not had timo to soo tho Ro.-idont Magistratel, but I shall mako it my business to call on him for an ex planation. (Hear.) Customs Tariff, Sir Julius Voni:r, euld that ooneoquent upon tho 1 ito dobato, Iho (lorornment had very carefully been considoiing tho sugges tions mado aa to tho alteration in tho C'tis toins Taritt". They had boon considering very anxiously how far it was possible to givo eilbct to tho suggested modilicntion, at, tho same time keeping in vbw tho piunavy object of raieing sufficient rovonuo. Of course, boforo dotormining to alter any whou in tho TaritV, the Cabinet would have to give tho matter consideration, and therefore ho asked tlio indulgence of tho Houso to givo them till to-morrow boforo dealing with tho question. It was very important that the question should bo dealt with. (Hoar.) Ho would ask the House to givo them till tlio follow ing overling to decide what modification they proposed when going into Committee of Ways and Means to deal with the ques tion, l'rivato members wero entitled to a groat deal of consideration, and therefore, if the Houso would givo tho Government till to-morrow evening, thoy would bo wil ling to dovoto Friday night to privato members.

Mr Si'fiL'T moved, without notices: " That tho business of lust Wednesday and Thuts duy should take tho placo of tho business for WoducsduY and Thursday of this wook, and that tho business already sot down for tho othor Wednesdays and Thursdays bo movod on." Air L'yke said ho had a question to ask tho Treasurer. Did he propose to bring down his amended tariff to-morrow night, and ask moinbors, to go on with its consideration at onco ? If so, it should be distributed this evening. Sir Jouua VbcEr,: Tho Cabinet propose to go on with tho couaidoratiun at onco. Mr I'l'kk : Thou,- will tho Government diHti-ibuto it to-night ? Sir Julius Vocikl :It would bo highly inoxpediont to dopart from tho usual custom and givo information of tho nature of tho Act buforo it could bo taken into considera tion. Attor Major Atkinsok, Messrs Hurst, Dakkavillk, and othora had spoken on tho question of interfering with private members' night, Mr Stout's doeign was frustrated through ono mombor objecting to tho motion being put without notice. A single objection to tho motion being put without notice is, of course, fatal, Mr Moss asked was it competent to vote supply till ways and means hud been con sidorod. Ho quoted tho practice in tho Houso of Commons, and suggested they should go into ways and moans before they considered tho expenditure. Already they had cortaiu resolutions before them, and they wero now asked to receivo other resolu tions, and he askod was it compotent for tho House again to affirm thorn Air I'.OLLKXTON followed in tho sumo strain. The Si'EAjCKR ruled that tho course pro posod by tho Govormnont wasquitorogular. Whon tho socond set woro brought down, the Government could then decide on them. Mr Stout thought tho Houbo would allow them to procoed in tho quickest way poa siblo to reliove tho commercial community from tho position in which they were placed. On the motion of tho Premier, it was de cided that Government businoss take pre codenco to-morrow evoning. On tha motion of Mr Hobiis, without notico, throe weeks' extonsion of tiino was granted to tho Codlin Committee to report. Loavo was given to Mr Koss to introduce tho Otago Harbour Board Leasing Bill. Tho Administration Act Amendment was committod with alterations, and passed the third roading. Adoption of Children's Bill. On tho adoption of Children's Act, 1881, Amondmont Bill coming up for committal, Mr Downie Stewart said an important power was sougiit to bo conferred on every K.M. in the colony. Tho practice of some R.MVs waß BOtnewhat lax, and he -was satisfied it would not be desirable to give them the important powers conferred by this Act. He know of ono Magistrate who would always grant protection orders to married women, becauso lie held extreme views on tho rights of married women. Air Samuels agreed with the last speaker, and said that many Magistrates were quite unfit to exercise the special powors sought to bo given them. Mr Tole did not think any harm could result from the passing of the Act. In certain districts, such as Nopier, whore ono could not got an order for adoption of a child, the Act would be a greut boon. The Houso then went) into committee, and the bill was reported without alterations, read a third time, and pasßed. Stato Forests Bill. In tho House at the evening sitting the interrupted debate on tho New Zealand State .Forests Bill (second reading) was resumed by Mr Moat, who wished to say that ho should support tho bill most cor dially, becauso he believed it would have tho effect of conserving the forests It was painful for him to hear on the last occasion this bill was before tho House that forests ■were predoomed to almost immediate destruction by fire. He deemed that such

was the case, and suggested that a small tax bs imposed on gum-diggers. Mr O'Connor suggested that some provi sion should be inserted in tho bill whereby timber would be cut in the first season, Mr Bakkon- thought the measure was a new doparture and the establishment of an exponsivo central department. There was a provision for borrowing to the extent ot £600 000, that being apparently the limit ot the Government bills during the present seesion. He thought the police and Crown rangers might fairly have added to their duties the inspecting.of State forests, and seeing that there was no want or waste ot timber, or other destruction. - Major Stewart, while approving or the bill, would like to see a provision made for the creation of forests in those parts of the country where forests were desirable, ana Im"°Macan'brew agreed with the member forCavorsham, although not going to op pose tho second reading. He hoped effect would be given hia suggestions when the bill went into committee. The measure went towards centralisation, and he naa hoped that the policy of this session would have been in tho direction of doccntrulisa l)r Nkwjun also condemned tho bill, on the ground that its money machinery was altogether too expensive. Sif Georok Obey thought that the proper way of dealing with the inhabitants of Whangarei would have been by rfvinK them notice of the establishment of a school of forestry there. It was an ill digested measure and in no way aimed a tho continuity of forests. Ho asserted that forests were being wantonly destroyed. It unlimitod power wero given to the com missioners to grant licenses without tender, serious abuses must rosult, . Major Atkinson generally concurred in tho objects the Colonial Treasurer had in proposing tho bill for the second reading, but confessed he did not at all like its machinery. It seemod to him to create a very expensive department, liio power for borrowing was also very ob jectionable. . Mr Wakkfikld said, tho bill created a vast fabric of machinery and finance. Ho wished to sco state forests conserved, and thought that by common sense administra tion of the existing hind laws of the colony, tho object aimed ut might have been ob tained. The measure when it camo out of committee would be perfectly useless. The bill was merely a handle for borrowing an udditionul .-1500,000 a year, llu agreed with the other members that it would bo a grievous mistake to repeal the Forests Planting Encouragement Act. Sir Julius Voukl replied, and said tho object of tho Forests Department would be to,' if he might use tho word without dis respect, educate local bodies in bringing about a uniform system of management of forests. In his opinion, if tho Acl of 187b1 had been carried out in its integrity tho colony would have beon some millions bottor oil than it was now. Ho mentioned that tho Govornment would he proparod to receive suggestions while tho bill wmit through Committco, with tlio desire of making it as perfect as it was possible to do so. Tho second reading then passed,.and tho committal was lixod for to-morrow. Postal Notes. In moving tho S6cond loading of tho Cost otlice (I'ostul Notes) Bill, Sir Julius Voiikl said tho measure sought to introduce a systom of postal notes in the colony. This was not novel as an experiment. It had beon tried in Great Britain, und there con eidorod to havo been an unqualified success. It had also been tried in Victoria and Queensland. The second reading then passed, and tho committal of tho measure was fixed for to morrow. Mr Stout movoi that tho Houso do now adjourn. Ho mentioned that thoro was a great deal of Government work to be got through. Tho Houso rose at 8..55 p.m.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

An interoiiling lecturo 0:1 tliia subject was do llvored befuic a law nujicnco of young men at tho V.M.C. A. Rooms lust uvoning, by tho Hoy. J i?. Hill. Tho lecturer spoke strongly against drunkenness, gambling, simsuality, looso living, ami waste. Nothin*, h« sa.id, was moro dangerous to a young man than tumie living. It was sure to bring him down tho ladder and drag him from whatever position in Ufa he hold. Ho aiißKOßtud thn cbotco ot Rood companions, osnecl'illy wnti roteronou to young womon, und t.o caiui.j. m\ them against playing with thu uU'uction- i.f thoao of the opposito sex. As practical men they ehuulil regard uiiitlrko as an houourubio estate, ihey Bhoulrl iuivo no loo^e praoticiw asout their buhinoss, thoy should haye uouio object, fcomo prlnciula in viow noiuelhln<f 10 guiilo ami direct them. Thoy should bo care ful not. to wasto their talonts, and to utilise their spare time. No mtn, ho euid, had ever nado a name for liimsolf without self-respoct and Bclt-oateem, aud, in conclusion, ha remarked that if a man desired tolivonlifo worth livinK ho must live a Christian life, and it anythir.tr was wanted to onnoblo his charnoter, it could be got from tho Word of God. The lecture wan listened to with groat attention throughout.

PARLIAMENTARY NOTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH. -PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER.)

"Wellington, this day. Illegal Committal to tho Aaylum. #W.SffiSL. had mode«^ mistake - committing these women without» «J«g^ warrant for their detention, it blames tne lev urn authorities for not drawing the M&Srate'. attention to the ovors.ght. Conference of County Councils. to adjourn the meeting till today, and to invite the attendance and co operation of surh members of Parliament as are also members of local governing bodies. A notice of motion by Mr Hawk.ne, one of tho delegates, has been given »» follows : _" That tho proposals now before the House as to local government are not calcu lated to develop a permanent system^of effective local government in the colony.

Bow With the Agoni-General. A budget of correspondence between the Premier and Agent-General was laid on the table today with reference to the question as to whom the honour of originating the In scribed Stock scheme was due. lhe Agent- General, in his first letter.apparently claims it for Mr John Mackrell, legal ad viser to the New Zealand Government in London, while Mr Stout gives the honour to Sir Julius Vogel, and sharply raps Sir Dillon Bell over the knuckles m the following terms :-"}ou state that a memorandum was handed you because Mr Mackrell thought you might be of little use to him, and it became necessary for the part he had taken in the inscription to.be mentioned in high quarters. I fervently hopo the meaning of this is not that you, us Agent-General, were asked to request the Imperial Government to confer on Mr Mackrell some Imperial distinction. Ido not know anything that would be more un constitutional than that an accredited agent of the Government, without consult ing his Government, should ask that honours should be conferred on anyone, however distinguished. By such an action colonial Government is bound. If any one who Ims either served the colony or boon the means of conferring any boon on colonists desires that his services be recog nised by tho Imperial Government, and asks I ho aid of tho accredited agent of the colony for that purpose, it is the-bounden, duty of the Agont-ueuoral to submit such applica tion to the Premier of the colony, so that ho nuiy consult his colleaguos in the Go vornmont, and tondor such advice to the Governor as may bo thought advisable." Tho Agent General replies in a conciliatory inannor, denying that ho wished to detract from Sir Julius Vogel's merit. In the course of this ho wrote that he had been en gaged in tho preparation of a paper for the Colonial Institute, with tho double object of securing a favourable reception for the new loans, and winning tho favour of consul bondholders to the conversion of debentures. In this ho proposed to deaoribe tho advantages of inscription and assign the chjef merit of it to Sir Julius Vogel. Mr Stout's letter had rendered tho reading of this paper now an impossibility. He adds : —"I agroo with every word you say about tho Agent-General not meddling in Imperial distinctions. At no time of my life would I not have thought it a disgrace to ask for a decoration for myself, and as for asking in my capacity as Agent-General for decora tions for othor peoplo, I should not only think it a gross impropriety, but it would bo looked upon horo as a piece of vulgar presumption and impertinence. I am speaking, of course, of any act done by mo as Agent-General. As a member of one of the great orders, and within my own order, I am not supposing the Government to claim that I should come to them for guidance." Mr Stout, replying, says he does not wish to interfere with Sir D. Bell's order : "All I desired to point out was that a recommon dation coming from the Agent General waß practically a recommendation of his Govern ment, and would bo so treated, and that before such was made the Government sliould be consulted. Of course, in your private capacity the Government had neither the right nor do?ire to interfere in tho slightest vay with your aotion."— Sir Djllqn Bell, replying, thinks tho last letter adds to the injustice of tho previous one. This communication Mr Stout curtly acknowledges with a lino, and the corres pondence ceaeos. Tho Parliamentary Library. The report laid on the table today shows that the books in tho General Assombly Library numbor 25,600 volumes, 1,000 having been added this year.

Westland members want a larger share of tho spoil than it is proposed to give thorn by tho Local Bodies Powers and Financiul Bill, and at a meeting hold yesterday, they decided to recommend the Government to amend the proposal for a special grant of £2,000 to each of tho goldfields counties, such grant to total £22,000, and the gross amount to bo distributed amongst the counties pro raia, oo the basis of the gold raised within their coufines during the past threo years.

CORRESPONDENCE.

Ponsonby y, ff&rth Shore, (To the Editor.) Sjh,—l must ask your kind permission to take exception to the report of the'abojti1 match published in last night's ■issue!' In the first place, it teems almost «»' unmanly thing to detract from tM crodit of the try obtained by tho Kuril Shore captain, who played on Saturday as he always does, v downright hard and at the same time most unselfish garni and well deserved the try he got; In tee second place, the romark about the " etf< tomary amount of wrangling" was alto* gether uncalled for, as the match was by no means marred in this way, and considering'! the intense exertions put.forth by both sida^ passed off with the greatest good feeling? As v similar report was published by yoofS morning contemporary, I think it oilfi; justice to our North Shoro friends to au! you to publish those remarks afcybb:' ; earliest convenience, and trusting that ) coming from the referee in the: abfol'; match, an old Pousouby man, the Condi diction may carry Borne weight.—lam, etftl; J. C. Mackv. * ..r ur}3 To tho Editor.: Sir, —In reference to;th«; paragraph in your lust night's issuere.rpjd across gully from Arch Hill, I would like to ask tho Board what right they have til spend tho ratopayoiV money in empjojioj an engineer to prepare plans aud estimate of coat on any particular btreot, vii 1, Kuasell-street, in proference to any otfifi available for the samo purpose. Is it tls most desirable street because it affords™ best facilities for that purpose at theleisi' cost? Or is it because two or threemfoj-' bera of the Board dwell or have some pefc sonal interest in that particular street '! II tho members of the Board, without cos* oultingthc ratepayers, in their self siiffiaoicf consider it necessary to spend ptitlie mciMJ in engaging an engineer, let them inw fairness to the whole of the district and Hjs public at large (because I consider ifc'J J public matter) instruct him to eisnlfflf all the streets available for that piirposv and report on tho one that will be the mod., suitable and cost the least money. I thin1 * it high timo tho ratepayers' bestirred tlu«a selves and protested against this onO-siW and high-handod manner of doing putl'O business and spending its money.—"iotin, &c, Fair Play. = . m
