(BY TELEOBArII—SPECIAL REPORTER.)

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, Friday, Questions.

Ik reply to Mr Ormond, the Premier said the telegram re the Meiggs proposal which was laid before the House on August 7th was received on July 26th.

Dr. Grabham Attacked.

Some inaccuracies in a return of revenue and expenditure in connection with hospitals were brought before the House this afternoon by Mr Walker, and gave rise to an animated discussion. On U'° ques" tion of general manage nont of hospitals and lunatic asylums, after the Minister of Justice had made an pdmisdion that a return was incorrect, Mr Holmes expressed the opinion that extremely bad work waa being obtained for a very large salary. When Or. Urabhnm enmohorohegot £i,oooa year and travelling expenses, and though ho was engaged ior three years, he had only beeu here oue whon he got an increase of £200 a yfarin hissuLry placed on the Estimates. The present return was so grossly defective that if there had been the slightest supervision given,, it would have found it was incorreot. He (Mr HoImeB) hoped the Minister at the head ot this Department would administer to the doctor! such a reproval as would, convince him thuc if he were to remain in the De partment he must do his work properly, and not present such a slipshod return as that laid before the House. Dr. Newman defended Dr. Grabham as an official who did his work in good stylo, There was an error in the document in question, but that was no reason for basing against him a general charge of mismanage ment. . , Mr Fisher followed in a similarstrain, and expressed regret that the Government had not seen it to be their duty to defend one of their officials from disparaging and dis respectful remarks. Major Atkinson thought it exceedingly unfair that Government officials should be spoken of in the manner he had been without members at auy rato putting the House in possession of the facts Ho regretted that the Government had not come to bis defence instead of leaving the attack to be replied to by private members. Dr. Grabham was a most excellent officer. When he came to the colony at a salary of a thousand a year, it was as Inspector of Lunatic Asylums only, and when his salary was raised to £1,200 it was on the understanding that he would also act as Inspector of Hospitals. In the speaker's opinion the colony had ample for the services obtained. The Premier said that an explanation having in tho first instance been afforded by tho Minister for Justice, the Government did not think it necessary to reply to every speech. Mr Guinness agreed with these speakers who had censured Dr. Orabham. In the Christchurch and Wellington Hospital inquiries glaring, instances of improper treatment and maladministration had been disclosed. Mr Maoandrbw pointed out that already the House had been 10 weeks in session without doing any work. It was time members attended to business, and he hoped tho discussion would be allowed to drop. This suggestion was acted on. Kumara Sludge Channel. The debate on this subject (which is re ported elsewhere) occupied till the 5.30 ad journment.

District Railways Bill.

At tho evening sitting, Sir Julius Vooel, in introducing the District Railways Pur chasing bill, explained the course the Government intended to pursue with respect to this bill. Correspondence entered into in pursuance of a resolution on the House last session, directing tho Government to purchase certain railways, had been on the table of tho House for some weoks. The Government proposed that when tho bill giving approval to contracts made was road a second time, the Public Accouuts Committoe should be asked to examino into the report on tho various contracts. Tho question of making the purchases would be a cjuestion of policy, and lb.orefoi'o it was not proposed to refer the bill to tho Committee, an the question was not <* political one, but a question wiiochor the terms made were such as tho House should sanction. The purchuso of railways was ono that might well be referred to tho Public Accounts Committee, aud the second reading of tho bill be fixed for Monday. Administration of Intestate Estates. 'Jhe amendments by tho Legislative Council iv tho Administration Act Amend ment Bill wore considered. The Pkemier moved that tho amendment be agreod to with tho exception of that providing that

tho whole property of a married woman without children dying intestate should go to tho husband, and that the whole property of a married man without children dying intestate should'go to his widow. That amondment (ho urged) should be disagreed to.

Major Atkinson and,Mr Garkick hoped this amendment would be carried.

Mossrs s-ThWAUT and Holmes hoped the House would not affirm tho decision of the other Chambtr. '1 he former urged that when a married man died intestate, half his property sltould go to his wife, and the othor half to his parents or some other relative.

Mr Holmes thought that the suggestion of a member for Dunedin West was a good one, aud recommended a conference with tho Legislative Council. He objected to tnia Chamber being subordinated to the Council.

The Premier likewise supported tho suggestion of Mr Stewart, and said that if his motion wero agreed to, a conference with tho Council could be arranged. The motion was carried on the voices, and on the Premier's motion, Messrs Holmes, Stewart, and himself wore appointed a committee to draw up the reason for disagreement with the amendments proposed by tho Council.

Gold Mining Districts Act Amondment

This Aot was committed, but progress wail immediately after reported on Mr Larnach's suggestion, ho having a now clause to introduce. Charging for Admission to Recreation Reserves. Tho Public Reserve Act Amendment was then committed. On the clause which pro vided that admission to the reserves might be charged for 10 days only in each year, Mr Peacock moved in the direction that admission should also be free on public holidays.

This was objected to by tho Southern members, who pointed out that the Cale donian games took place on public holidays, and Caledonian Societies did good work in the matter of education.

Mr Thompson asked, if it was thedesiie of the hon. members that the bill should bo passed, that Auckland Domain bo omitted from its operation. Mr Bucrl.and, as one who knew the views of the sport-loving public, Raid that the holidays should be fixed, such as Christ mas Day, New Year s Day, etc. He asked that only on declared public holidays a charge should made.

Mr Peacqck eventually withdrew his amendment, it being decided to" append a schedule to the bill stating tho public holidays^ on which a charge should not be made, viz., Sundays, Christmas Day, and (Good Friday. An attempt was made by Mr Connolly to add Year's Day, Queen's' Birt hday, the Prince of Wales's Birthday, and Anniversary Days of provincial dis tricts to the schedule. New Year's Day was lost on division called for by Mr PiSApooK by 4< ) to 17 ; the Queen's Birthday, on division called for by Mr Thompson, by 42 to 15. Th.c Auckland men then gave up the battle, the Princo of Wales'B Birthday and anni versary days of the colony being struck out on the voices.

The schedule, as amended, was passed, and the bill reported with amendments, read a third time and passed. Middle Island Half-caste Bill

passed, with slight ampidment*, was read a third time and passed, ' •"' The School Committees Election Bill being reported from the Legislative Coun cil, Major Steward said the amendments made by that body were three in number. Firstly, they had struck out the clause abolishing the cumulative vote at elections. Secondly, they had added a new clause, al fering the minimum school age from five to seven ; and finally, ' they had fixed January Ist as the day on which the Act came into operation. With regard to the nrst point, it was a matter for regret to him and other members that the Council had not seen their way to discontinue the cumulative vote, but after the division whioh had taken place it would be idle to pursue the matter further. He proposed, therefore, to accert the amendments with the exception of the new claase regarding the limitation of

the school age. The effect of that proposal would be to strike a very serious blow at the administration of the education system. Something like 22 per cent, of the school children were under seven years of age. The amendment would make a very serious difference to the revenue of the Education Department, and would not affect what, he presumed, was the object of its introduc tion, reducing the expenditure be ciuse, many country schools would be closed, and the salaries of teachers there •would have to be largely increased. He, therefore, moved that the amendments made by the Council, with the exception of the new clause 4, be struck out. Mr Turnbull strongly supported the suggestion of limiting the minimum age of school children to five. Were that done, a saving of £G,500 in the education vote alone would be effected. Several members objected to the new clause, as it would prejudicially affect at tendancos at country schools. On tho motion being put, it waa agreed to on the voicos. Major Steward, Colonel Trimble, and the Minister for Education were appointed a committee to draw up reasons for disagreeing from the new clause, and shortly afterwards they reported as follows : " Beoause the clause will not effect tho end apparently aimed at by tho Council, viz., tho reduction of the cost of State education without (1) causing tho closing of a large number of schools in country districts, and necessitating a general reduction of teachers' salaries, (2) or necessitating a compensation increase in the capitation allowance.

Second Readings.

The second readings of the New Ply mouth Exchanges Completion Act Amend ment Bill (Tole), the Property Law Con solidation Amendment (Tole), and Bank ruptcy Act Amendment (Tol6) were agreed

to. In Committee on the Coroners' Act Amendment Bill, Mr Gdinness tried to get the words "not more th^n six jurors" with drawn with a view of substituting " not more than four," but thia was lost by a large majority. The bill wa9 negatived, and the third reading delayed till Monday. Divorce Amendment. In Committee on tho Divorce and Matri monial Causes Amendment Bill, the Minister of Justice moved the omission of clause dealing with incestuous adultery, which was agreed to, and it was provided that a wife could obtain divorce on the ground of adultery simply. This was moved by Major Steward, and carried on the voices Mr Samuel moved a new clause per mitting husband or wife to obtain a divorce after they had been continuously separated for a period of four years, or if either had been convicted of felony and sentenced to a term of imprisonment; also, if either became inEane and continued so for four

years. Mr Menteith moved bb an amendment, " That all clauses except that portion deal ing with the insanity of either person be eliminated." He objected to it being laid down that either husband or wife could ob tain a divorce on the ground of mere in compatibility of temper. The Minister of Justice pointed out that the Act had been reserved for Her Majesty's assent. Measures must be jeopardised by the addition of the new clause proposed by Mr Samuel.

Mr Sedijon entered his protest against this c'aase. He objected to marriage being rogarded as a mere quest ion of contract. Mr Moss pointed out that if the plau.se were carried, a woman who became insane for four years might recover her senses to find that she was diverged and thrown helpless on the world, Mr Downie Stewart sought to get incompatibility of temper declared a ground for divorce, but this was unmistakeably negatived oh the voices. Mr Mkntkath's amendment was lost on division.

On the question that the new clause, as amendod, stand part of the bill, the do vision resulted thus : Ayes, 19; noes, 23. The clause was thus lost The bill was re ported with amendment, but third reading delayed till Monday. Mr Samuel expressed the opinion that the bill as passed would tend to delay necessary reforms in the divorce law, and that in its present shape it was a miserable half-and-half measure.

The Rating Act Amendment was re ported, and leave asked to sit again.

The House rose at 1.45 am,

(lIV TELKGRAriI.— PARLIAMENTARY

REPORTER.)

■Wellington, this (lay. At this afternoon's sitting, Mr Stout read the cables that pacsad between Govern ment and the delegates regarding the Canterbury proposals. The telegrams wore laid on the table, and shortly after whipped off to the printers. Fortunately i have secured an advanco proof, and am thus able to give, so far as the cables are concerned, a complete history of the negotiations. The first cabled message is dated London, July 10th, and is from Mr Scott, one nf thedelegates, to Sir Julius Vogel. It states: "Provisional arrangement made subject to further concessions ; very important that submit personally; what latest date Fell and Dobsun arrive and get bill through House." This shows that the delegate made cock-sure of the pro posals being accepted, and, indeed, that two of their number, Messrs Fell and Dobson, should come to the colony to lobby a bill through the House. Three days after receipt of this Sir Julius Vogol wired to the Agent General, instructing hiiu to inform the delegate that the session would probably conclude before tho close of the month, and requesting that the concessions asked for bo cabled, and also particulars regarding the syndicate and names of the principal men. To this, on the 15th, thb Agent' - General sent tho following reply : — " Delegate course thirteenth h'rstly. Requested dele gates report exact position of their negotia tions, which they have done as''follows:— Report begins: 'Meiggs and Sons, South American contractors and financiers, of good standing and repute, have agreed in writing to take the contract, probably com pleting the works in three to five years, provided ah absolute Government guarantee is given of £98;000, payable in London half-yearly, above working expenses, for twenty years, dating from completion of works, this being 2$ per cent, upon the estimated post, viz., works with contingent margin, £3,025,000 f interest during con struction, £400,000; syndicate allowances, for underwriting, ±'385,000; inquiries and administration, £50,000 : total, £3,860,000 The Government allowed control over working by appointing half local directors for managing railways, but not laud Gov ernment to have full power to purchase railways at any time at full cost as above, less depreciation" and further works being paid for at valuation. Powerful financial houEe known to delegates promise support, and ready take substantial interest when concessions granted. The repor ends:— "Secondly: No syndicate in ye formed "

The other cablegrams explain themselves: -Vogel to Aj>ent-General, 17th July: " Railway understand yearly payment not Commence until entire live completed. Also Government retain surplus over work ing expenses, whilst yearly payment con tinues Reply. Also, are other speoial features required in bill besides those cabled/ Agent General to Vogel, July 17 : " Delegates, yours to-day. Reply on first question. You are right. Reply on second question, and reply on third question Mon day." Agent r General to Yogel, 21st July : Delegates cannov, reply on second question yet. Do not act till you have received it." Vogel to Agent General, 22nd July : "Ask delegates if intended Government liable for more than £97,000, supposing receipts not equal working expenses." Vogel to Agent General, 24th July; "Toll Scott unless guarantee limited to total £97,000, in eluding working expenses, aud unless excess receipts applitd reduction guarantee; approval hopeless. Reply quickly." Agent- General to Vqgel, 24th July : '■ Delegates, your three last—on third question report begins : ' Treasurer's message today means contribution not guaranteed as asked. Amount receivable by syndicate must be i.97,000, Government paying also any deficit in working expenses. All profits from land must belong to tho syndicate, theso profits boing chief inducement investors. I ayment undor guarantee during 20 years recouped from profits of land.
