Wellington', this day. IfflUß from an old member of tho House, _J_fe eonerally well informed on matters *. .v-lg that it is reported that the Gov tf'wKify t__r railway proposals „ the direction of giving thoKai way Com STmi to rate tho lands aiiectod, in £s of <-<*atmS that T.?* the ° %•_?' > This i- so slight a modifica tion that unless by means of wire _,__•. and promises of Government assist- SRSSb member., I do not think there is any hope of so objectionable a Sdle being allowed to pass. My inform .___ states that tho "card has beon Iked with the result that the present Saiority against tho proposal is seven. Of Its., th_ would be a very small majority t. come and go upon, I have spoken to __rlv every Otago member on tho mattor, gnd find they unanimously condemn this I Difforonces In Cabinet. Bpm —The Ministry are now in Cabinet „ the railway. Messrs Tolo, Ballanco, and r_.nach opposO making it a party question. They will probably resign if mado a party question. latest . Pressure is being brought to bear on mem bers in every conceivablo way with a view to inducing them to support the A.e.t Coast 'Kailway proposals. Members ni_eonholes are choked up with reports of Chambers of Commerce and Railway League meetin .. aud telegrams aro pouring in from the West Coast and Canterbury. I think however, the majority oi the House aro de termined to boldly resist any attempt to in Juence them, and that tho proposal will not be sanctioned. On Saturday Sir George Grey reoeived a telegram from a pr .minent Beefto_ man, stating that tho entiro population of Keefton district rolled on his support in the mattor of the railway. Sir George replied, thanking the people for their telegram, and proceeded to mv: "No advantage on my pail would in duce me to deprive tho chrdren of the people of Keefton of 2,500,000 acres of land; land being the O.ily real source of wealth and defence. Aud this I know, their parents should not be unnatural enough to Irish me to do so. I would not rob c'lildren of those they lovo, for, as I believe, the benefit of any foreign slo.k robbers. Your railwayoughttohave been nearly finished by now, and you can always get it by legitimate means. In doing this I shall always be glad to aid you, and will always strive to promote the true interests of Keefton." I understand that Wakefield also received a wire, but he replied that he could not voto {or the scheme. From a private conversation I had with a Minuter this morning tlio Gov ernment appear to be considerably exercised over the result of the debute on the East and West Coast Railway. He teemed to be very badly advised regardnig the probable movements of the oppo.iti in, and expressed astonishment when I ven tured to suggest that the opposition attack might take the form of a vote of censure. The "New Zealand Times" to-day again severely condemns tho rai way proposal. The article says: "Xext cornea that most suspicious • looking item, expenses of underwriting, £385,000 We look for a clear and explicit statement as to what this really moans. D;e< it mean Commission, or anything of that sort, and if so, to whom would such pay ment be made. That is a question to which the public have to manifest right to demand a plain answer. As it is, that large extra stands as an unexplained and very ugly-looking further addition to tho total cost ef construction, bringing it up to £3,860,000." It urges horn member., While aiding the distressed districts of Canterbury, Westland, and Nel son in any fair and legit'mate way not to be led away by trickery, or threats, or cajolery, or coercion, or bam hooding into countenancing so mad and wicked a scheme.

NEW POLITICAL PARTY

Mr Ormond Goes Into Opposition,

(ST IELEORAPn.—PARLIAMENTARY

BEFORTER.)

Wellinoton, this day. A middlb party is rising and gaining ."length, and seems to be obtaining favour with certain sections of the House. Negotia tions are now proceeding with Mr Orinoud to take the leadership of tho party. The present intention is, that if tho party gains Ucendaney it will go into office without a poliojr, and will merely take up the position of economical administration, ot George Grey, to whom the existence of tto new party was formally notified for the first time yesterday (Sunday), is of opinion that the new organisation will command _0 lituation if any proceeding of a pro nounced character is taken by the Govern ment or tho present recognised Opposition, jfor some days past I have known from Sir Oeorgo Grey's conversation that he would to Bupport a party composed M young rising men, and it eeems to bo his Intention to extend the tegis of bis name as -'supporter. So far as 1 can gather, tho .went intention of the party is to *ateh the course of events, and to m«n concert at any momont. It con wte mainly of men who have been hovsrnment supporters, but who havo al feaoydepartedfrom their allegiance formally w will do so when tho time of action wives. The principal reason for its opposition to the Government is their recent injudicious financial proposals. «c party number from 22 to 25 members, anaethera aie said to be joining overy day. until they consider the chance has arrived W ?}«. not generally with tlio Govern ment. My informant, who is oiio of the lexers of this party, thus estimates tho Strength of the House : Atkinsonites tried, {»*_<_,_ and true, and on whom tho inner circle" of the ''continuous Ministry" m rely to a man, 27; reliable Govern pent supporters, 33 ; and from the floating _ri.tM._ f 1° or t2 members pledged to neither the Government, Atkinson, nor the Wm party, the latter expect to gain ___*• modleun» of support.
