HOUSE OF KBPRESBNTATIf BS.

Agent-Generalship.

Wkllin-oto>', Wednesday- Repuinq to Mr McArthur, the PbkMiep. said the Govornment received no intimation of the intention of Sir Dillon 801 lto resign the Agent-Generalship, and therefore no ar rangement was made ns to his successor. Bills Passed. Tho Proporty Tax Consolidation Act Amendment and New Plymouth Exchanges Competition Act Amendment trero com mitted and read a third timo, Land Bill. The remainder of the afternoon sitting was occupied in Committ?e on the Land Whilo the Land Bill was under oonsidera last night, Mr Fulton gave notice of lus in tention to move that land boards bo made elective. Thero is a strong feeling existing among members that a change in the direction indicated is desirable. 1 learn, however, that the Minister for Lands is of opinion that if tlio motion is pressed, it will give rise to an animated and lengthened discussion, and may possibly prevent the bill from becoming law. Iho member for Taieri, conceiving the measure to bo an improvement on tho presont bill, will therefore in all probability not perse vere with his proposal in connection with the Act now before Parliament, but will support a measure which trill probably be introduced next session for making Land Boards elective It is understood that Sir George Grey has clauses already draftod for the same purpose, and upon the introduction of those the dis cussion will probably take place, and the affirmative, it is expected, will be carried by a considerable majority. En passant, I may mention that Sir Georgo Grey looks on tlio Land Bill as a measure on which the happiness of futuro genera, tions in this oolonv exists. Ho points out that in Now South Wales tlio whole session was givon up to tho consideration of the land laws, whilo hero the Government are trying to force their bill through tho Com miitoo in a fow days. A long discussion ensued on the clauses of tho bill, which passed with very littlo amendment as far as clause 25. Progress was then reported. , _ Threo othor bills having boen advanced another stago, tho Houso adjourned at ten minutes past ono.

THE POLITICAL CRISIS.

Tho Opposition Not a Happy Family.

(by telegraph— varliambntary reporter.)

Wellington, this day. SirGeoroeGrey'. little questions yesterday as to the intentions of tlio Government re garding tho East and West Coast Railway led to a good deal oljdiseussion, and not a littlo Parliamentary dirty-linon washing. The action of tho Government in keeping back the Public Works Statement was, of coureo, perfectly allowablo us party tactics, and tho immobility with whicii they havo recoived tho innuendoes regard ing tho non-production of tbo precious document is very exasperating t.i tho Opposition, who hopo in it to lind what tlio military authorities call a "practicable breach." Yesterday's debato demonstrates pretty clearly that tho Opposition is far from being a happy family, ns witness Mr Dargavillo's attack on Mr Montgomery and {mirubile dietu) on Mr Ormond, tho quon dam leader of tho much-scouted Middle Party. Tho debate, a report of which I send yon in full, will bo found to be inter esting rending, as it lays bare some peculiar phases of party government, as viewed from behind tho scones. Sir Gborok Grey asked : " Is it tho in tention of Government to undertake, as a colonial work, the construction of tho East and West Coast railway, so as to connect Christchurch with Hokitika, via Grey inouth ?"

Tho PREMIER ropliod : "If tho hon. gon tleman will wait till the Public Works Statement is dolivorcd, full information will he given on the subject lo tho House." Sic GEORGE Guey said he wished an answer to tho question because the lino that membors would probably tako on tho resolution ho had brought forward would partly depend on tho answer given, and even his own action. Ho there fore a^ked that tho Government should answer him at once.

Tho PREMIER said the Government de clined to give any information as to what they intondod to do under tho Public Works Statement, olhorwiso twenty such questions would be asked. Sir Geo. Grey moved the adjournment of the Houso. Ho had given notice of an im portant motion on going into Committee of Supply and matters that might involve an onormous expenditure in tho way of c:m ponsation. Many persons were interested in tho subjoct at tho present moment. If tho Government said they had not made up thoir minds, or bad come to no decision on the subjoct, ho would bo satisfied, but the answer given was distinctly evasive. Major Atkinson said that while it had always beon a rule of tho Houso that tho Works Statement should not bo anticipated by questions, still, it had beon customary for Ministers to announce at as early a dato as possiblo when tho Statoment would bo mado. Mombors on this side of tho Houso had been very patient, and ho hoped that tho Govornmont would rolievo thoir minds on this subjoct. Tho Minister for Works was under stood to say that on Friday he would be iv a position to say when the Statemont would bo delivered. It would bo made within a day or two of Friday. Mr Bryce said that as the leader of the Opposition had said, Opposition members had been oxtromely patient. Thoy woro now in tho tenth week of the session, and woro unable to extract from the Govern ment an answer whon tho Works Statement would bo brought down. This was ex» tremely unsatisfactory. Mr Levkstam said that when tbe Atkin son Ministry were in powor thoy did not bring down; thoir Statemont till Parlia ment had been quito as long in session. (The Premier : Longer.) The hon. mem ber for Auckland City East had dono his bost to prevent the information ho re quired being forthcoming by voting against the appointment of a select committee to consider tho railway question. Mr McArthur pointed out that tho Go vernment had promised that tho Works Statement should be brought down within a few days of the Financial Statement be ing dealt with. By no stretch of imagina tion could fivo or six weeks be taken for a few days. Mr Hurst thought tho Financial and Works Statements of paramount import ance. Therefore, Mr Richardson should give somo deiinito information when his statement would be mado. The Premier added that tho Government had nothing to complain of with regard to the Opposition's conduct on the business of the Houso. They must know, however, that the Opposition had really placed Min isters in 4 vory unsatisfactory position, be causo they had been disturbed by some thing more definite than mere rumours that a want-ofcotifidcnco motion would be brought forward. To meet that, they had advanced supply, but no motion was tabled. Then thoy had been told that the Otago Dock Bill was in tho way of that motion, and they had had that bill dealt with at once. The Government had beon placed in a false position, and ho urged that if thoy wero not fit to hold office, stops should be taken at onco to turn them out. Mr Hurst asked what promises had been made by Ministers regarding works to be providod for in the Public Works State ment. The Premier replied that tho hon. member for Waitemata must bo well aware that sinco certain promises had been mado the position of affairs had been entirely changed by the House not accepting tho Government's financial and tariff pro- Mr Fercujs asked whethor it was not true that the statement had been ready for some weeks, but like the mines statement, had been kept back in Ministers' pigeon holes awaiting the development of events. (The Premier : No.) It had beon assorted on good authority that tho Premier had said so privately. At all events, tho statement found its way into print, and doubtless the Premier was the informant. The hon. gentleman taunted the Opposition, but if he wanted the position of the Government ascertained ho should bring down tho Works Statement at once. The speaker proceeded to say that he, in common with a majority of the House, regrettod that a no-confidence motion had not been brought down ten days ago. The gentlemen selected for the purpose did not sco it proper to take action. In the meantime the Government had been enabled by somo means to seccro tli6 Bupport of certain weak kneed members (Cries of "Oh I"), and the Opposition, find ing that these men had been operated on

did not feel disposed to take action at tho present time. He complained that when mombers asked for information of a public nnturo from the Minister for Works thoy wero subjected to a gross insult. Not only members of the House, but the country at large wanted to know whether it was true that certain demands made by a caucus had boon agreed to. (Opposition cheers). Were three fragmentary pieces and the East and West Coast and Nelson railway lines to be constructed at tho same time, or was the line to be pushed on ns a colonial work ? There was a feeling abroad that a great deal of unauthorised expenditure was going on and that when hon. mombers were anxious to go homo, thoy would bo called on to sanction it. ~.,_, ■__■ Mr J. B. Whyte thought the Opposition were really too bad on the Government. They forgot that self-presorvalrion was the first law of nature, and the last three weeks had beon spent in looking aftor themselves. Mr Turn DULL pointed out that when the Atkinson Government were in power no in ducement could prevail on them to bring down their Works Statement before thoy wished to do so. ._..___ n. Mr Dargaville thought it fair that tho saddle should be put ou tho right horse. Ho did not blame the Government for their action altogether. Ho was now a member of tho Opposition. Tho Government wero in no way blameworthy. The Opposition wero to blamo in the eyes of the country for the present stato of affairs, but he exonerated the honourable member for E.-mont and his party. So far as he was aware, they had behaved during tlio recent crisis with great unselfishness and liberality. They were entitled to the credit of the country for the self-abnegatinn which they had exhibited during tho recent negotiation. The blame rested with the gentlemen who had ■'held a responsible posi tion in the House and had pronounced views on questions of Land Tax and Local Government, and who, when the oppor tunity presented itself for them to have the courage of their opinions, had misor- . ably failed to do their duty. (Hear,) To these men the eyes of the country had been directed, and since they had showed themsolvesunwortbyof the occasion, ho hoped it would be a long day before thoy would presume to stand forward to lead any section of the Houso in party tactics. The Government had shown more wisdom than in tho beginning of the session, when they had exposed thomselves to the punishment they had very properly re ceived. Now thoy had learned wisdom, and wore inclined to bo more reticent. (Laughter.) In conclusion Mr Dargaville vigorously denounced the pusillanimity and chicken-hearteduess of those members who had failed in tho duty demanded of them. (Cheers from the Government benches.) Mr Pyke said the House had long deßired to know what constituted the Middle Party, and who their leader was. It was evident Mr Dargaville represented tho whale of the Middle Party. In tho recent crisis some members had thought fit to blow the horn bofore they drow tho sword. Tbe Govern ment were in a minority, and sat on the Benches by the sufferance of the House. (Oh !) They were doing their work very well at the dictation of the House, and ho (tho speaker) had »o wish to remove them. Like some other members, he wanted more public works, and while tho present stato of disturbance was kept I up thoro was a clianco of getting them, and ;by the time the Works Statement was de livered ho hoped to have got what he wanted. (Laughter.) So far as the East nnd West Coast railway was concerned after the Meiggs scaro there was no danger of the House sanctioning any voto for its construction till the Government were re organised, notwithstanding that a majority ! of-members wero convinced that aline from | Springfield to Brunncrton was desirable. ] Mr Moss asked whether, as reported, ) somo of tho leaders of the Opposition had promised certain works to members in the I Public Works Estimates which they hoped jto bring down. (Laughter.) Could the member for Wakatipu inform the House I whether distinct promises had been mado jin connection with those Public Works I Estimates?

Mr Fergus : No, certainly not. Public Works Estimates waro notmenlionedto me or any hon. member I know of on this side of tho House.

Mr Moss pressed other loaders of the Op position to give the same assurance. He bolioved that the crisis had done very serious mischief, because the Public Works Estimates had been mado the battle-ground on both sides. Ho was sorry that Parlia mentary practico would not allow the loaders on both sides of the House to arrange the Estimates so that they would be satisfactory on all sidos. Sir George Grey, in reply, said if the Government really wished to bring matters to a crisis, they sliould have brought dowi tho Public Works Statement. Bringing for ward supply really didnothing at all. He had elicited more information than he wanted because the Premier's reply amounted to an admission that the Government were deter mined to go on with tho railway. Then the member for Nelson had informed tho House that the Nelson line was to be gone on with too, and that was more information than his question asked for. Tho motion for adjournment was then negatived on the voices, and tho ordinary business proceeded with.

AUCKLAND INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTS.

Tho Annual Dinner.

Tim annual dinner in connection with the Auckland Society of Architects was hold last ovening in the Star Hotel, and wa^ thoroughly successful. A capital spread was provided by Host Cairns, the menu being in every way creditable to the estab lishment. Tho tables had been laid with consummate caro nnd srtistio skill, while the room was prettily decorated for the occasion. Mr Hunter's band was present, and enlivened the proceedings with selec tions of instrumental music during the ovotung. Mr W. F. Hammond, A.8.1.8 A.,' Pres ident of the Society, occupied the chair, nnd was supported on the right by His Worship the Mayor, and on the left by Mr W. Anderson, City Engineer. Mr H. G. Wado, A.R.1.8.A., was Vice-Chairman. Tho other mombers present were :—-Messrs E. Bell, E. Bartley, W. A. Dugleby, A.11.1.8.A. ; F. W. Grey, P. Hammond, T. Holder .T. B. Jackson, T. M .honey, K. M. Watt, T. H. Whito. The other guests be sides the Mayor wero :—Mr J. L. Holland, Secretary of the Society of Arts ; Mr Mar- Shall, Edinburgh Institute; Mr C. S. Wright, Builders' Association ; Mr Ed ward Dawson, Mr Flintoft, nnd the Press representatives. Tho usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given from tho chair, and duly responded to, tho band playing suitable accompani monts.

The Vice-Chairman gavo the toast of "His Worship tho Mayor," and said thoy woro glad to have that gentle man with them that evening, espe cially so from the fact that so many largo buildings and other works having been inaugurated during the term of his office. His Worship knew something of the building trado, and was not a mean authority on that subjoct. They had to thank the Mayor for many courtesies ex tended to tho Society during his term of ollice. Through his instrumentality the Society was consulted respecting the new building regulations. Somo of thcso had provod valuable, whilo others were failures, and required alteration. Ono respect in which the regulations should be Amended \vas to permit cottages being erected be hind business frontages which had consider able depth.

Tho Mayor briefly responded When ho first came to Auckland there was not such a thine; known hero as an architect. It was o matter of so many feet square, and if thatdid not suit, a few feet could bo taken off. He had always been glad to extend any courtesy within hia power whenever the opportunity offered.

The Mayor proposed the toast of "The Society of Architects." He said the Society was formed four and a-half years ago, with n. roll of 15 members. It now possessed 24 mombors, or, with honorary mombers, 31. It must bosatisfactory to thorn that thoy ware all employed in building up a city that, if he did not say was the best in the colony, wn? at least second to nono. Dunedin had some fine buildings, but for continuous blocks It did not beltevo that Auckland could be beaten. His Worship proceeded to say that he hoped in the next four yearstho member ship of tiie Society would bo doubled.

This sentiment was received with ex pressions of dissent by the members, who apparently were not disposed to viow with favour such extensive competition in the business as was suggested. Tho Chairman (Mr Hammond)responded. Tt was a pleasure to return thauks, because hi was one of those who assisted to form tho Association, for the purpose of joining together to givo tho profession a status as tho su!e arbiter between the employer and employed, and in fact to assure thoir out pvotccliovi and at tho same time to protect tho public. Ho noontime;! tho services rendered by the Society, and stated that the sub committee had gone round on the detective principle to gee what .leases of
