[FROM OUIt SPECIAL REPORTER.)

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,

Wellington, last night. Notices of Questions.

Notices of questions wero given as fol lows :—What assistance or oncouragoment the Government intend to give tho rifle clubs? (Mr HOLMES.) When the Govern ment intend to complete the now railway station at Dunedin 1 (Mr Stswart.) If the Government will exempt tho property of benefit sociotios from taxation under the Property Assessment Act? (Mr Holmes.) If effoct has been givon to the promise made last yoar that tho Agent Gonernl would be directed to obtain a number of copios of Mr Kerry Nioholl's book on tho King Country for general circulation ? (Mr Joyce.) Whether tho Government intend to appoint stenographers in tho Supremo Courts and District Courts ? (Mr Stkwakt.) Mr Hamlin gave notice to nsk whether tho Government lias any fun her correspondence or reports on the eubjoct of loading lights at tho Manukau Heads since tho papers presented by Government last sossion on tho subject. Tho Petitions Committeo recommended that tho petitions of Wm. Thomson for a bi-weekly mail to Haglan bo referred to tho Govornmont. Government Printing. Mr Fisher intimated that he would move on Tuesday that a soloct committee consist ing of nine members be appointed to con sidor the advisableness or otherwiso of printing under contract with private offices any part of tho Government printing cf the colony. Goldficlds Committee. On tho Goldfields Committeo's report coming up for consideration, Mr Bbown said that session after sossion tho Com mittee referred tho majority of petitions to the Govornmont for tlioir favourable con sideration, and yet tho Govornmont took no action whatever. Ho asked tho Govorn mont in future to carry out tho rccom mondations made by tho Committee Mr PviCE, Chairman of the Committoo, agreed that some duality was necessary. Not only woro somo petitions presented session aftor sofsion, but to Parliament after Parliament, tho petitionm thinking that although their claims had been re ported advoreely on, they might be favour ably considered by new members. The matter then dropped. Replies to Questions. Most of tho questions asked of Ministers to-day woro of a local nature. They stated that no increase of salaries had been promised to country postmasters act ing as telegraphists, whose oiiices wero kept open from 7 till 8 p.m. Tho Accidont As surance Association of Dunedin was tho only company that had applied to tho Go vornmont for tho right to soil Accident As suranco tickets at various railway stations throughout tho colony, and tho arrange mont made with them was similar to that oxiating with tho Victorian Government It was only of a temporary nature, and could bo terminated at short notice. If Now Z■in land Accident Assurance Company of Auck land, or any similar institution, made ap plication for a like right, the Government would at onco consider it thoir duty to terminate the present ngroement, and make up their minds what was tho bost courso to pursue, whether tho right should obtain by tender or otherwise. School Committees' Elections In moving the second roading of tho School Committee Eloction Bill, Major STJiWAiiu said that it only contained four clauses, all of which had beon confirmed by tho House during lust Parliamont. and that by large majorities. Tho first clauso was that oloctions should bo hold in April in stead of January, so as to remove them from harvest time. Tho second clause provided that in event of any committeomtn being absent, three months without excuse, his seat became vacant; and tho last clause, which was ot tho moat importanco, provided for doing away with tho system ot cumulative voting. Mr \V. A. Stkwakt said at prosont a largo number of childron remained absent from ti-liiol, ana when steps had boon taken to proaccuto thoir puronts the Act had bocn found defective and wholly unworkable. In Dunodin v test case had boon taken botoro tho U.M., but tho law was in so hopeless and chaotic a stato that nothing could bo done. Tho Prkmiek opposed the bill, and denied that tho moasuro boforolait Parliamont wus similar to that now introduced. The previous measure simply sought to amend tho mode of election of school comtnitteos. In Eng land and Scotland tho cumulative voto bad worked woll, anditwasnowdoughttodostroy it in Now Zealand, whoro it had also worked well. Tho cumulative vote was tho only means of giving minorities a just repreeon tation in educational nHairs

Mr W. F. Buuklanu objected to any iltoration in tho present Education Act. Mr O'CallauiiaN said tho only change ho wished to tee in tho Education Act wus as to tho date of School Committee elections. He was strongly opposed to any attempt to abolish tho cumulative voto.

Mr Fulton thought that tho duty of tho liouso was to amend any Isolation whoro an improvement wus necessary.

Air Samuel agrocd that it was po-isiblo to mako tho Education Act more porfect, and deprocatod opposition to any attornpts at intorforonco.

Major bTEWAUD in reply said that tho Komsn Catholics havo oll'orod no objoction to tho ropoal of tho cumulative voto, so that argument as to injustice being dono to minorities would bo disposod of. On division tho socond reading was carried by 31 votes to 4, and tho committul lixud for Wednesday next.

Alienation of Lands Bill

Mr Connolly moved tho socond roading of the Alienation of Lands Bill, a moaeuro to prevent tho ontailing of land. Mr Dakhaville raised an objection to tho retrospective oll'oct of the bill, and pointed out that it would be unfair to pass an Act nullifying deeds of settlement made in tho past.

Mr Gaheick opposed the bill on the ground of its being retrospective. In his opinion, the bill was based on no recognised principles affecting law of property. Mr Bkown strongly supported tho prin ciple of the bill, which was the abolition of entail in land.

Mr Stout gave a qualified support to the bill, and suggested an amendment to prevent the measure being retrospective. Mr Dowme Stuart said thero was no tendency in the colony to ontail estates. Mr Monkiomery advocatod a simple moasuro providing that estates should not be pntailed. Ho trusted that tho bill would go into committee, and that it would come out a simple clear law representing ontail. Mr Hobbs hoped the legal members would allow the bill to pass the second reading, and amend it in committee. Mr Samokl would support tho second reading and endeavour to make it workable in committee. Mr Harper supported the bill going to tho second reading. Mr Connolly in.reply denied that the bill was retrospective. The second reading of tho bill was passed on the voices. Employment of Females Act. Mr Bhaiishaw moved tho House into committoe on the .Employment of Fomales and Others Act Amondmont Bill, on Mr Lcvostam's amendment to the effect that children under fourteen be not employed in factories. Mr Stout pointed out that many children passed the 6th standard at 12 years of age and it was unfair to keep them from work for two years. Mr Leve-tam suggested that Mr Stout should move an amendment to the effect that children under H be not employed un less they have passed the flth standard. The House divided on the quest ion'that the definition of limit of age be 12 yeais Ayes, 54 ; noes, 11.

At the evening sitting consideration of the Employment of Females and Others Act was resumed. On clause 3, Mr Bkau shaw moved the addition of the following words:—"A young portion may be em ployed in printing offices on Saturdays up to the hour of half-past four o'clock in the afternoon."—Mr Peacock said that he knew a number of young women employed in a printing office, and if the amend ment juafc moved wero not inserted, it would be the means of those young women losing their employment. - —Mr Feruus pointed out that in many of tho factorios an extra half hour was workod during tho week to give tho employe's a half holiday on Saturday. In agricultural im plement factories, at cortain seasons of tho year, it was absolutely i.ccessary to work overtime, otherwise farmers could not get then machinery. Ho moved that as an amemdmont tho maximum number of hours bo 0 instead of 8. Tho Houeo divided on thia amendment, which was lost by 51 to 7. Mr Fulton- moved that t. o tho words, "No person shall employ 'my youug percOh for more than eight hours in any one day in

B>"^' accused of fathering the. measure. He stated that ho nad received letters from employers of labour, stating that eirls were employed as much as 14 hours a day. Ho thought that was suin ciont justification for the Government pro faring tho bill.-Mr Fercuis movod the addition of a clause that domestic servants havo at least dno day's holiday in each week He subsequently withdrew it, say ing ho had moved the amendment to show the absurdity of the bill.-Mr Holmes next moved an amendment, of which he had previously givon notice, of making it optional rer employers of labour to give a half-holiday on any day m tho week in p ace of on Saturday. He stated that his action was taken at tho instance of the Early Closing"Association of Christchurch, ond it was supported by a petition recently re ceived, signed by 150 persons. A change of day could only bo made when a majority of tho employes wore agreeable, and it must be announced in a newspaper published in tho locality.—Mr Bkadshaw opposed the clai^o as ie did not coino from employes in factories, but from those employed in other trades and occupations. -Major Stkward said thatthe Saturday half-holiday to factory employcsnecessitatcd some such airangement as that proposed, and Messrs Levestam and Samuel supported it on the ground that in Nolson and Now Plymouth Wednes day was observed as a half-holiday. -It waa moved that in place of a " majority of employe's" there bo substituted ' two thirds," which was accepted by Mr Holmoß, ami carried on the voices—Mr Holmes a proposal that a half-holiday might bo on any day of tho week that two-thirds of the employes dosired was then carried, butatMr BiiAiMHAw'ssuggestion, itwasmadotoapply to factories only, notification of the change of date to be given in a newspaper or news papers circulated in tho borough. This was carried by 20 to 19, and on the question, "thatthe new subsection as amended be added to tho bill," Mr W. F. Buckland called for a division, but the addition of tho uubsection was carried by 35 to 19. In cl-iuso 7, which provides a penalty for obstructing inspection, " female " was substituted for •' woman." — Mr Stout, in moving that tho hours of barmaids be restricted to between S a.m. and G p.m., said ho did not think there would bo much difference of opinion as to this clause (Laughter.) The question had caused considerable discussion in all parts of the colony. There had boen actually presented to Parliament petitions by 21,953 persons asking for alterations in tho Licens ing dot far beyond what ho proposed. They asked abaoluto prohibition of bar maids. Altogether, he pointod out tho amondment lie proposed ullownd the em ployinont of barmaids one hour longer than thoio engaged in printing officos or fac tories. In many parts of the United Statos there woro no barmaids at all, and he thought that hero they co.ikl be far better employed. (An hon. member: "HowV") There were many avenues open for tho employment of women. He did not wish to make any chargo against women employed in bars, and believed in the majunty of cases no complaint could be prefoncd, but many of them were subject to temptations which they should not bo subjected to. He did not wish to deprive thoao employed in bars of ourniug their livelihood, but thought if the legislation ho proposed were agreed to, they would find other means of living. Air W. F. Buckland objected to the clauso boing recoived at all. They had been told by tho Premier that tho bill under cuns-idoration applied to factories, and tho clauso was thoroforo out of place. The petitions wero not for limiting the hours of barmaids, but against their employment altogether. Tho proposal wus putting a temptation in barmaids' road,, and into young men's road, while, if they were allowod to keep in tho bar till 11 at night, they would go straight to bed. (Great Inughter ) It would be almost better that .i juung woman should bo employed in hotola than out parading the streets after dark. It was true that tho Premier cast no insinuation on barmaids' characters, but ho had stated that they were only employed in the lowest public-houses in America. Mr UAROAVILLK said that tho amend inont ought more properly to have been pioposod when Major Steward's Licensing Act Amendment came on | for consideration. Ho affirmed that tho proposal would throw 1,000 young

women out of employment, because it was botween tho hours of S and 11 p.m. that people had leisuro timo to go into.hotols for drink, That was a Boriouf consideration.

He suggested that the clause should not come into fm <-o for six or twelvo months, in onlor to onublo women engaged in bars to ecck omploymont in other directions, Thoy might them bo absorbed as domestic servants or shop-girls ; but it would bo disastrous to them and a social misfortuno to summarily doprivo thorn of tho moans of earning their living.

Mr Stout : "1 will accopt that sugges tion. Six months' henoo the clause to op-irate."' Several hon. members: ." Six yours," " Fifty years, and laughter. Mr Scowk McKenzie said that under no circumstances whatever could ho vota for the clauao. If the hours of barmaids were so limited iliey could not be employed after the bill became law. Tho clause, to nil intents and purposes, meant thoir entire abolition. He cou'.d not bo a party to closing an avenue to honest living to any creature in the country. It might be true that the employment of barmaids induced young men to drink, but was it proposed to cure the evil of moral weakness oi young men by doing a material evil to young women ? That was an illogical position to assume. Mr Stout said the reason he did not pro pose the abolition of barmaids was that he felt that a means of employment that had continued for many years should not be ruthlessly destroyed. They should be gradually weaned up to the abolition of women in bare.

Mr Hursthousk failed to discover whether the Prom ier had moved in the in terests of barmaids or of public morality. (Mr Stout : Both.) If the Premier brought in a bill to prohibit the employment of barmaids all >gother, he would have supported the measure, but it was absurd to transplant them to hotel waitresses. He ventured to say that if the petitions were analysed, the groat proportion of signatures would bo found to bo those of jealous wives and children. Most of tho rows In hotola took place whero thoro were male attendants, and that was natural, bocause tho behaviour of reasonable men would bo tuned down by tho presono of women. (Hear.) Ihe attempt was to legislate for those weak kneed young gentlemen who paid periodical visits to fashionable bars. Mr Pykk questioned the taste of those hon. members who wanted to replace pretty women by coarse men. He said that the majority of these persecuted women in their moral behaviour were bettor than factory girls. (Cheers.) Of course black sheep could be found among barmaids, but that was the case with overy class in the com munity. As to the proposal of ono hon. member that barmaids be not allowed to exist, he wanted to know whether it wa intended to carry them out to sea and drown them. (Laughter.) The proposal of the Premier was a cruel thing, absolute persecution in fact, and he did not envy the feelings of those poor girls he wished to rob of their bread.

Sir Georck Gkky admitted this was a difficult subject to (leal with, and had cost him a vast amount of thought. Those young men who lan from bar to bar charmod by pretty faces should be laughed down, but he was of opinion that the pro po*nl brought down by the' Premier was a monstrous injustice to the wholo of Now Zealand. He conceived that a gross injnst.--o was being dono to a peculiarly holplcss portion of the community i M . ( tempting to pass a vote of conßuro on the..., H Q hoped the Koufo would not porpelrato what ho really boliovod to bo a cruel act in adopting this measure. Mr Peacock taid that the petition from Auckland against barmaids wan si<nied by ??. v'tß \ JJ c a»uded to the report of the V lotonan lloyal Commission, saying that

the documents showed that barmaids ' employed 1G hours a day, to the deb)**' of their health, without referring; toul moral nspoct of tho question. I* Mr.lovcusaid that women inbarswoiW fitted for domestic service, and it ■ choice for them botween the bar and v! bagnio. Ho opposed Mr Stout's nwS and ask' d why they should give a tv*l pjly of the demoralisation of the youniM^ of the colony to the wife of the licensee his daughter. They had been told thiltt* employment of males would diminishdri i ing. Now they had males employed , Bollatny's, and would anyone deny ti, there was a quantity of whitky consniS there? Ho gave personal testimony toti ■worth of many of the barmaids. I(tS wanted to sweep away barmaids tr should sweep the trade away altogether^ Mr Hatch said ho thought that these oil should at least havo two years' notice olrt coming into force of this Act. He wj H suggest two yearn1 notice, believing.that' tho raeantimo tho young ladies would obts'' homos of their own. ; . *™ : Mr Samuel, in opposing Mr Btonf oluiisa, aiid ho placed no weight on ft! petitions, and believed he could getlOflnm signatures to a petition opposed to theai? mon sense of the whole House, MrW.

THE BANKRUPT ARRESTED AT AUCKLAND.

Statement of His Affairs.

(11Y IKLEOBAFU—OWN COEUE.SPONDJHT;)

. DraEDm,.this day, In Hntchinson's caee to-day, the prindpil ovidonco was given by Mr Ford, to'flhoti,' with Mr Fitchett, barrister, Hutchinsoni! indebted £1, 150. At a meeting of his ci* ditors Hutchinson made an oration, in ti* course of which he said he had only ben able to save £1,000 with difficulty from tin Hum paid him by an English company.

In the course of a letter, Avriai' in London, in May last, to his solicitor hen, he says: —"Tho great problem haebea solved (us you have been made awarel) the payment of a £5,000 deposit) iriti reference to the sale of the Cavershjjl proporty, but only after a fashion. .Ijjji oil' personally very indifferently,- li) creditors will get from 5a to 6a in the!
