HOirSE OF REI'KBBEXTATIVES.

Wellington", last night. At 2.45 p.m., on the motion of the Premier, the House adjourned until 7.30 p.m.

Ministerial Statement.

At this os-oning'n sitting, the Premier said that since the afternoon adjournment Go-

vernment had considered thepositionin which they were placed by the vote of the Com mittee of Ways and Moans on the Customs Tariff Bill last ovening, and after consulting with their supporters, who funned a largo majority in tho House, they had agreed not to ask tho House to again go into Committee of Ways and Mcana on tho Customs tariff. Tho resolutions that hnd been agreed to in Committee of Ways and Means tho House would be asked to validate It would be apparent to mem bers that in withdrawing the other in creases in the tariff there would be a loss to the rovenue, and this would be about £70,000. It was proposed to meet that loss in tho following way :-£50,000 of tho deficit of 1332-4, as at present run ning in Treasury bills, we propose to ask tho House tc renew for two years. As to the othor £20,000, we propuso that the Armed Constabulary who aro now en gaged in what is permanent defensive works should becomo a charge on tho loan, and this will about recoup tho loss of £70,000, which wo would hive obtained from Customs duties. As to tho other measures of the Government, he might say that they proposed to proceed with tho Local Bodios' Finance and Powers Bill, and that it would bo considered a Ministerial bill in tho strict senseofthetorm. The Government were willing, as they ptutcd in tho debate on the Financial State ment, to withdraw from tho bill the proposal to borrow on subsidies, and as Customs duties hnd beon denied them, they should not ask tho House to fix for a period of length tho .subsidies which were paid to local bodies, but otherwise the moaauro would be considered a Ministerial bill iv tho strict senso of the term. Ho need hardly say ho exceedingly regretted that tho additional supplies through the Customs had not been granted. These duties had been formed so as to mako taxation press fairly on a'l classes and all parties, and at the same time to sco that local industries wore not interfered with. If tho llouso permitted it, in order that no injury might bo done to the mercantile community, lie asked leave of tho House—of course he could only mine it by leave—to propose the resolu tion.

Sir George Groy roae to lib feet. The Speaker : Do you object to tho reso lution '.'

Sir GruHUK GREY-: 1 should like an ex planation lirst before wo assent. Aro wo not to go back into Committee of Supply 1 Is it not necessary to do so to rescind the resolutions already passed in Committee ot Supply? Tho Speaker said if tho proposal was to imposo fresh dutios or an increase of duties it would bo necessary to go into Comraittoe, but when it was merely for tho purpose ot rescinding a resolution and reducing taxa tion it was not necessary. Tho resolution was then agrood to. Major Atkinson : Might J ask tho Premier if ho proposes to bring down the bill to night. Thero is a desire on this sido of tho House to dispose of the mutter. Mr Stout regretted ho was not in a position to aiove tho bill that night. Mr Waickkiki.l) wanted to know whether ollbct would be given to tho resolution so us to relievo trade on tho following morn iu" from tho duties imposed a fortnight ago. lfihat wero so, it would bo very satisfac °Tho Sl'BvKF.n said that resolutions passed on the liHh would be rescinded except as regarded wines and spirits. Mr Brown asked whether it was not advisable tv give immediate instructions to the Collectors of Customs to refund the extra duties recently collected, and the Premier replied that such would bo dono. Gaming and Lotteries Act. Mr lluiiiis, in moving tho second re..Tine of the Gaming and Lotteries Amendment Act, said that tho bill was similar to that in force in Victoria. It had boon found neces sary thero to suppress advertisers of sweeps, lie did not anticiparo any opposition, and would not wsary the Houso on a matter, that he know thoy woro all docided on. Tho bill did not interfere with the totalizator, nnd in this respect ho was acting on tho principle that half a loaf is better than no bread. Mr fiTZUKRBBRT thought tho bill should not bo allowed to pass, as it would bo a disgrace to tho Statute Book if passed. It would pii'.iso CCO.OOO or £70,000 a year to bo driven out of the colony to Australia. He suggested that tho Govern mont should legnliso tho big sweeps, and that Is duty stamp should be paid on each ticket sold. Ho moved that tho bill be read this day six month?. Mr Stout briefly supported tho bill, because he thought that tne extensive gambling in tho co'ony ehould bo sup pressed. Mr Joyck opposed the bill, showing that its effect would bo the seiuling of money by sweep investors out of tho colony. Other members having spoken pro and con., Mr Fulton that the suggestion of Mr Fit/.herbert's was equal to a proposal to license all burglars and scoundrels in the colony. Mr Downik Stewart supported tho bill. Ho looked on tho measure as a step in the right direction. Ho know of ono young man being ruined through having won £500 in a consultation. Since then ho had tnkon to roaming about tho country for tho ' purposo of attending raco mcetings. Mr Kerr said that for yoars ho had always had something to do with racing, and had never seen it abused. lie objected to the freedom of tho public being interfered with, and affirmed that if a poll of tho coun try were taken, 19 out of ovory 20 would "have their littlo swoops and enjoyments." Messrs Peacock and O'Connor supported the bill. Tho latter said that, newspaper? would not opposo those swei ps, in conso quenco of tho advertisements. Mr Hobbs, in riply, montioned that a friend of his had boon shown in a gaol in Australia 16 mon in good positions, who had been brought thero by the last Mel bourne Cup. Tho second reading was carried on tho voices. In Committee. The Comoterios Act, 1882, Amondmont Bill and Postal Notes Bill wero taken in Committoo, reported without amendmonts, read a third time, and paßsed, Divorce Act. Tho socond reading of tho Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Act, 1881, Amendment Bill was moved by Mr Tole. lie said his reason for bringing in tho bill was a caso brought beforo Judge Richmond in Wellington, in which he said ho ro grotted ho could not give tho young girl petitioning a release from hor husband. Mr Samdel huped the bill would be remodelled so as to offioct a social reform in tho relations of husband and wife potition ing for a divorco. Mr Stout did not go so far as to say that desertion should form a ground for a divorce, but he thought that cases of lunatics and persons imprisoned for life might woll form an action for divorce. Mr Downie Stewart suggested that if a married couple without any children peti tioned for separation, and made a second application beforo a Judge of tho Supreme Court six months afterwards, then a divorce might bo granted in that case. The second reading was agreed to Industrial Schools Act. The Premier moved tho second reading of the Industrial Schools Act Amendment Bill, and explained that the bill compelled men who wore competent to do so to pro vide for tho maintenance of their children in the Industrial Schools. Motion agreed to. Municipal Corporations Bill. Mr Stout moved tho second raiding of tho bill, which was agreed to. At the request of Sir Goargo Groy, tho committal was deferred for a week. Minos Act Amendment Bill. The second reading of this bill was moved by Mr Larnacji, and supported by Mr Guinness, who however, objecti rl to leavo tho power of fixing fees for miners'rights in tho hands of the Govornor-in-Council. Second reading agreed to. West Coast Settlement Reserves. Mr Ballance movod tho second reading of thia bill, which, he said, would greatly facilitate the settlement of land on the West Coast, Agreed to. The House rose at 9 20 p.m.

GERMANY AND THE SOOTH SEAS.

Translation of tho German White Book,

{l!Y TELHGRAPH.—PARLIAMENTARY RM'ORTER )

Wellington, this day. ! I have been favoured by Ministers with a perusal of the translation of the recently issued German White Book on German interests in the South Seas. It consists principally of official correspondence between the German Consul-General for the South Sea Islands and the other German Consuls with Bismarck. The first letter asserts that German trade still holds the commanding position in the Pacific, competition being only experimen tal, though real danger threatens from Anglo-Australia, inasmuch as political con siderations may dictatej tho creation of English interests at any cost, in order that they may counteract the solid establishment of the influence of Germany. The writer advocates the inereaso of a Consular staff as well as a naval force in tho Pacific Com petition in the labour trade by Fiji and Queensland has doublod tho cost of labour to the German firms. McArthur and Co., of Now Zealand, have a factory at Tonga, however, and the samo firm seriously comfetes with German houses. Thcro are German trading stations on ono fourth of the inlands, while Herashim and Co. have nearly as many. A memoir of G. G. Yon Oterson. written on board the Carola, states that if EnKland is pormitted unchecked to spread a net of officials over the Pacific, the whole of the labour trade will pass into her hands The attraction afforded by the English flag will attract tho Australian firms, and the Ger man firms will then bo pushed into the background. Tho Germans will in tho end apply to the English authorities when they require assistance, whilst tho natives will associate the existence of law, order, and peace with the name of England. The question is not merely to find a recruit ing ground for labour to work in Samoa, but also to opon up to Gorman trade and civilisation a considerable number of- tho South Sea islands. Thi.-i must bo dono at once. In a couple of years Germany will be too late.

Bismarck in reply states hia intontion of appointing a Government official to watch the labour trade in New Britain.

Dr. Stenbel writing on April, 1384, re commends the appointing of a German judicial authority at New Britain, who would counterbalance the political influence of the English Deputy Commissioner, Romilly. In a letter on Tonga, Stenbel states : " Half the commorce of the ialands is in the handx of German merchantu, Bftkor'a efforts to maintain tho inde pendence of Tonga being rendered nugatory through English interference, encouraged, it is said, by English olKnialH and occasional visits of English men-of-war. If England should annex this group.Qerman oommorce would be sariously injured. Tho attompita of the English to introduce English coins instead of tho Chilian dollars introduced by tho Gormiuis at Tonga havo proved successful. Should the English succeed, thero would bo nerions losses, for tho Chilian dollar is deemed worth 4a, and only costs 3d Sd to import it, whilst 4s would cost 4s 3d. Besidoe, this English coin being intrinsic, is all tho more valuable than tho dollar, which would ex hibit a tendency to leave the country. At the samo time, the introduction of IJnglish coins would facilitate English competition with German trade. Steobel recommends that moasuros should at once be taken, if German influonce in Tonga is not to succumb to that of England. Dr. Ravel, of Sydney, in n letter to Bia marck say» an inquiry into the commercial achievements of the Australian colonies from their own returns does not ontitlo thorn to the political load claimed by them. Only Now South Wales and New Zealand havo substantial interests in tho Pacific trade, and fully GO per cent, of the urticlos exported from these colonies! is of European manufactmo. Tho official liirures, the writer holds, provos conclu sively that all tho talk about tho prepon derating commercial interests of Australia in the South Soas rests upon ignorance or an intentional misrepresentation of facts. Tho writor holds that more than half the island trado goes direct to Gorman ports. Consul Hernshaw, writing from New Britain, states that tin; oxcess that is committed uirder tho British flug by labour vessels will not injure German intorests, and asserts that it tho facts were known, it would be stoppod by the English colonial authorities. Cliiofs desirous of getting arras sell their pnoplo or prisoners of war to labour vessels, tho prico being three muskets for two labourers. Tho arrogant conduct of tho crows of English vossols is complained of, and it is mentioned that an agont of a Gor man house havingadviscd achicf nottoallow any of his people to engage themselves to an English labour the captain thereof and tho Government agent burned tho factory and 20 tons of copra in order to show that tho Queensland labour yes s ;lsdo not understand a joke. Ata latedate Stenbel writos to Bismarck, referring to dangor to Gorman interests likely to ariso through annexation proposod in Australia, and expressing a hope that tho throatoned injury may bo averted, Dr. Stcnbol states that ho is not in a position to judgo how far theso fears aro justified, but that England is moro especially intorosted in putting a stop to UlO proposod action of Australian colonists, and thus to prevent annexation by tho othor powers. Iv tho meantime the civilising work of England would proceed steadily. English interests would arise in islands now chiefly or wholly occupied by Germans, and theeo English interests would struggle for preponderance, thus preparing tho ground for an ultimate annexation of all the islands by England, whilst at tho present time any portion of thorn could bo annexed.

In a letter from two directors of the German Company it is stated that they have purchased a steamer, and propose sonding hor out tn establish fresh stations, and look for protection from tho German Government.

Dr. Finfch, of Breman, had command of tho expedition, and would ostensibly tako a passage on the trading vessel on ;> scion tilic cruiso.

Count Hatzfeldt, in a letter to Count Munstor, dated August last, accuses tho English authorities of dealing with Gorman communications in a dilatory manner, whilo interests are being creatod through tho agoncy of tiio Aus tralian colonies which runaltogether counter to German interests. Tho writor urges that steps should be taken against a realisa tion of tho unlimited claims of Aus tralia.

The remainder of the correspondence refers entiroly to tho annexation of Now Guinoa by England and Gormany.

HOW THE GOVERNMENT EAT THE LEEK.

What the Press Says About It.

(BY TELEIIKAFH—OWN CORBESPONDKNT,)

Dunf.din, this day. The "Star," referring to the situation, says:—"Very fortunately, neither the House nor the country were taken in for a moment, The character of the tariff waa universally recognised, and almost univer sally condemned. It would inflict on the colony most of the evila ot protec tion.withoutconferringeventhqquestionable advantages affirmed to be derivable there from We felt convinced that the financial policy of the Treasurer would bring about a new departure in party politics, and are not at all surprised at the turn matters have taken, The subservient following of the last session decline to proceed further in the path which must lead in most instances individually to political extinction. They still proclaim their earnest desire to keep the Government in power, but it is a nine qua nan that every shred of policy be abandoned. We hardly suppose such a portion will be accepted, and office clung to at the eacridce of everything which is acceptable. The question of interest just now is, what Ministers aro likely to do. Will they take things so unmistakeably conveyed, withdraw their policy, and design another more suitod to the public tasto, or will they throw on those the re sponsibility of finding another Government to carry out the views of the large majority ? Are they prepared to go to the country on their fiscal and Local Government pro posals ? Wo are inclined to think they will adopt the first."

Weixinoton, this day.

The "Post" while thinking that a majority nf members are willing to follow tho Government in any reasonable direction, although not prepared to sacrifice great principles to party exigencies, says the country will congratulate the majority of last night on their consistent and patriotic conduct, and on the successful stand they made against proposals which, if adopted, would have pressed moat oppressively on every household in the colony. Of course the "Press" _has_ a severe article, in the course of which it says :— "The Government allowed themselves to be bullied by a very questionable supporter into reporting progrep?, and carrying tho half-annihilated tariff over to another day— the most objectionable, impolitic, and reprehensible course they could possibly hnvo adopted. A move deplorable exhibi trtion of incapacity, want of judgment, futile trickery, and absence of all dignity or Hi'lf-rcspect, novor was witnessed in any l»trt of t!ii« country. The stalo of Parlia mentary business ia neither more nor less ilmn a public scandal."

BERESFORD-STREET CHURCH ORGAN RECITAL.

The second of tho scries of recitals in connoctlon with tho oDcning of tho now organ eventuated in tho above building last evening. Tho attend ance was not so large as might havo been anticipated, tho disgraceful condition of tho footpaths in the city and suburbs no doubt causing many people to n irmin indoors unless absolutely compelled to go out. The proceedings wore opened with payer by tho pastor of the church. The well-koown hymn,"Forward. Christian Soldier," waß then sung by all pretent, to tho tune. " St. Ger trude " Another hymn, " Hark I Uark! my S. ul. Anxollc Hosts are Telling," was also sung after the Interval. Mr Uootun. organist of the church, to whose exertions it is mainly due that the In strument wan procured, appeared to groat ad vantago in two organ solos—tho "Andante Can tiibile" (Mozari) and ' Tho Hallelujih Chorus." from " The Mount ot Olives" (Beethoven). Tho former pi' en was < n<) well calculated to display tho qualities of the various stops, and, it is ncedlens to say, was well executed. The liitter is a vury difficult but beautiful piece, ami Mr Hooton is to be complimented upon the nißnnor in which it was rendered. ProfeßSOr Lumbert. organist of tho Pitt-street VVesleynn Church, favoured iho audience with selections from Bcothovea, and tho " Morning Prayor " (.\diim Wright), both of which were poforted inn masterly manner, the former 8010 espeoiallv calling forth the organist's powers of ► xecution, while the "Morning Prayer" displayed hln complete command of the instrument and delicacy of touch. Mr Beale exhibited the full power of the organ in tho "I'annhaußOr March,! (VVBgner).and also li» tho fine solo " Bethlehem " (Ciounod), both of which were an entire change of style from the o'her solos performed at that or th» previous recital, and were therefore will received. Mrs Chadwiok appeared to great ndvantago In tho beautiful solo from Judas Maccabceus, "Come, Ever Smiling Liberty" (Handel), which was delivered wih precision and feeling. The dlffloiilt solo, ■Now Heaven in Fullest Glory Shone" ("Crea tion", Haydn) was finely rendered by Mr Worrall, and tho "Aye Maria" (Milliard) was also sung In a very creditable manner by Mr Prime, who possesses a voice of good quality, and sines in an easy manner, but his articu ation is scarcely as dißtinct as it might bo with a little extra care. The touching duet from Judas Moccabmns; "Oh, Lovely Peaca " tHandul) was sung by the Missis Hayli s ami was very well received by tho audience. The qmirtetto acd chorus, "10, my Shepherd is Divide" (from Haydn's Macs), was sung by Miiws lluggins, Peace, Hayles, and Messrs Hvadnoy, Holloway, Kdmonnp, ad Worrall. 1 h • choir rendered the "Ulhems, " Tho Radiant .Morn," " Ulesscd Be Thou" (Kent) in a nice manlier tho quartette in the latter piece being taken by Mitscs Hnyles and Messrs Bradnoy nnd Holloway. The duet. "Both Kiches and Honor," wasallotted tothoMisscs Kdmonds, wl o ?a< g it In nrsU'.lu»B style. The ladies possess rich full voices, which Mend together beautif u.lj. The programme was brought to a close by tho chorus, " We Thank Thoe," which was splon d<dly r eliVßtt-d by iho choir. The wholo affair was wfl got up, and deserving of a much better attendance. Tho last of these recitals will be held next Thursday evening, when Mr Neville Uarrptt, F.C.O , vvill preside.

NATIONAL BANK ROBBERY.

Mklisoukne, June 24. In the City Police Court Thomas Mil lidgo, Alfn-1 Kingill, John Alcock, and Georgo Foituno were charged with having robbed, undor arms, tho Simpson's Road branch of the National Bank ; and Thomas McMahou was charged with having aided and abetted. Kingill, alias Yates, who was admitted as Queen's evidencp, said that tho robbery had been planned in conso quence of tho information received by MiJ ltdgo of the habits of Mr Humphreys, the manager, from a marine store dealer, who suggested it. It was at first proposed that tho bag should be snatched from Mr Humphreys as he wag carrying it to or from the hank ; but as he carried a revolver, ; nd might use it, this plan was abandoned. They then arranged that the premises should bo entered, and the robbery effected as was subsequently carried out. At 4 o'clock on the morning of tho robbery tho threo prisoners entpted the premises. Ringill went for McMahon's cart, for tho ute of which it had been pre viously arranged that McMuhon should get £2 if the project miscarried, and £40 if it proved successful. Ringill ac cordingly drove the cart up at the time, and met his accomplices as they loft the bank. They then proceeded to Studly Park, where, after having given Millidge £50 for the man who Fuggested the robbery, and £40 to McMahon, tho plunder was divided. Having thrown their revolvers into the Yara, at the Johnson-street bridge, they separated. Ringill, on being arrested, confesaod to tho ciiine, and gave informa tion leading to tho iccovery of a portion of tho plunder at Coburg. Altogether, out of the sum of £1,1 fO which was stolon, £600 or £700 have bcc-i recovered. Ringill only came out of Tentridgo in February last, and sinco then he has consorted with the prisoners. The case was adjourned till to day.
