HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, Thursday Thames Harbour Bill.

Amongst the orders of the day (local bills) there were several measures relating to Auckland province. Col. Frasek, in moving the second read ing of the Thames Harbour Board Emj 1 powering Bill, said some difficulty haa arisen respecting the schedule which might prevent the mcaiure proceedingthis session. Col. Trimble, in moving that the bill be read a second time that day three months, raised a strong objection to the raising powers proposed, and said that in time the House would be called on to pay interest. Captain Si'ttkr also opposed the bill, on the ground that its merits wero not fully beforo the House. Since the bill was before the Local Bills Committee, several petitions against it had been received. Mr White also opposed the second read ing. Col. Fraser said he wished the second reading passed now, so that should the difficulties re schedule ba overcome iv the meantime, tho bill might be passed this session, Mr Lake objected to a portion of the Piako county being added to the rateable area without representation. Mr Peacock said he had received several objections to the bill, and moved the ad journment of tho debate to give Col. Fraaer the opportunity of more lully explaining The debate was adjourned for n fort night. Newmarket Reserve Bin. Mr Moss asked postponement of the. further consideration in Committee of tho Newmarket Reserve Bill, on the ground that he had not yet come to an understanding with the Minister of Works regarding the protection of interests of tho railway. The postponement was agreed to. Interesting Debate on Secondary Education. Mr Locke moved the committal of the Gisborne High School Bill, but Mr Peacock speaking on the motion " That the Speaker do leave tho chair," real a tologrmu from the Auckland Board of Education objecting, to the schedule of the bill. Ho said that the total revenuo of the Auckland reserve* for tho purposes of secondary education was i'53G, and if the first schedule of the bill was carried, Gisborne High School would rcceivo £'2D5 of that amount. Mr Whytk spoke in tho same strain. Mr Stout reviewed v?hat ho had said when the bill was last beforo the House, and said that if provision of special reserves were to be alloeaUd to Gisborne, provision would require to be made to conserve tho interests of othor districts in Auckland that would require the provision of secondary education. The Auckland and Thames High Schools had special reserves, but tho

Auckland Girls' High School was in an un

fortunate position, as it had no special re servo, and was dependent on the vote oi Parliament. He thought it only fair that it should have a special endowment. Mr Locke said it was the old story of Naboth's vineyard over again. These Cook County reserves had not beon rogurded as reserves for secondary education lor Auck land, but lorn school in Cook County. In Committeo, Sir (J. M. O'Rouke said ho was sorry that any objection should como from Auckland members to the establishment of a school iv Auck land province. He supported tho schodulo as it stood, and did not think objection should bo mado to tho granting of tho rovenue asked for tbo Gisborne School. He boliuved that tho j. rot est made by the Board of Education was made under a misappre hension. Messrs Whyte and Peacock took ex ception to Sir G. M. O'Rorko's remarks. .Mr Samuel mode a general piolost against the large expenditure on secondary education, which was a luxury thut the colony could not afford just now. Mr Dargaville agreed with Sir G. M. O'Rorke that tho bill was a reasonable one, and Bhould bo passed without delay. He thanked tho Premier for the expressions ho had made regarding tho Girls' High School, which was ono of tho bost institutions of the kind in the colony, but was now being almost starved out of oxistonco for want of assistance. After a discussion on secondary educa tion, in which Messrs Samuel and Fergus look part, Sir George Grkv appealed to tho Com mittee that Gisborne should bo given what sho required. He assorted that tho action of the Governmont in converting Whanga rei High School reserve into a reserve for forestry schools would deprive the girls in largo districts of the chance of varied educa tion, as, of course, they could not teach girls to cut down trees or to plough. Mr Stout said that thero was no High School at Whangarei, as tho pluce was not yet sufficiently advanced. He hoped that in time it would havo a High School for girls. He accused Sir Georgo Groy of coming in from tho lobby in tho middle of tho debate, picking up tho thread and making tho most of mixing up Whangarei and Gisborne.

Sir George Grey turned the laugh on Mr Stout by mentioning that ho himself had assisted in drafting tho Gisborne Bill.

Mr Bdckland taid ho had an opinion that wo were paying too much for higher education. It was wasting Government money on sowing seod in barren ground, and if a boy had any good in him with application, it would como out. In tho flax-mills and bushes thoy found University men and doctorß —persons with high educa tion. Thoy could not get sottlora sons to work as their fathers did. They wanted to bo schoolmasters or Civil servants, and would not do tho work of the country. He believed that tho colonial system of push ing childron beyond a certain stage was not in the interest of tho colony, but the very reverse.

Mr HcßSTiionsE objected to higher educa tion on tho score of economy. They woro told that tho colony was on the high rond to financial ruin, and yot they went on year after year increasing the cost of what was a luxury and what was most taken advantage of by tho woalthy classes. The education system cost them £450,000 per annum— i' 14,000 from the Consolidated Fund for highorandseconaary oducation, and £40,000 annual rents from endowments ; £300,00Q for primary education,, and about £100,000 annually for buildings. He would live to sco tho day when secondary schools would stand on their merits, and the proceeds of reserves go into tho consolidated revenue.

After some sparring betw.on Messrs Fergus and Hurstuouse on secondary education, in tho courso of which tho latter said that he did not beliovo the taxable power of the colony exhausted, the House went into committee, and the 12 clauses of the bill were disposed of without discus-

Mr Guinness moved the striking out of clause 21 (that vesting the reserves in the Board of Governors), and stated that he in tended to oppose every grant for secondary education till all education reserves were grouped, and the House should show how much could te given to primary, and how much to secondary and university educa tion. The business was interrupted by tho 5 30 adjournment. Whon the House resumed nt 7.30, Mr Barron moved that the House do now go into Committee to consider the Hours of Polling Bill. Carried; In Committee on clause 2, which provides that the hours of polling should be from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m, several amendments were proposed as to the time when the poll should close. Mr W. F. Buckland opposed the measure, because of ita want of unanimity. If town electorates had their hours lengthened, electors would vote at country booths at the last moment, and then ruth off to tho cities and vote there at the last moment. Mr Daroaville suggested that 7 o'clock should bo accepted as a compromise—that hour would bo acceptable to his consti tuents. Mr Holmei reforred to the excessive beer duty collected in Auckland Provincial Dis trict, and said the amount of " beor swil ling " done there caused representatives from Auckland to oppose the extension of tho hours for fear of the " sinnish " habits of their constituents. This brought Messrs Peacock, Hurst, and others to their feot, and Mr Holmes was called on to withdraw the offensive term used. Te Ao was the only Maori member pre sent, and strongly opposed each alteration in the system. Mr HußsmousE, with tho object of "squashing" the bill, moved that the Chairman do now leave the chair. This was lost on division by 36 to 30. Mr Barron consented to tho hour of doting boing 7. On this he had the Govern meat support, but the motion was lost by a bare majority, the voting being : Ayes, 31 ; noes, 30. Up jumped half a dozen members with a proposal that the time be 6.30 p.m., but

they were intercepted by the Premier moving to report progress with leave to sit again, It was absurd to extend the time by a bare half-hour ; and, if progress were re ported with leave to sit again, members might have an opportunity of making-up their mind*?.

Mr Barron* expressed a hopo that the Premier's suggestion would be acted upon ; but his desire met with scant sympathy, the suggestion being lost on the voices. Tbe next proposal was to make tbe time 6.30, which was carried on division by 40 to 25. On arriving at the schedule, there was another fight. Mr Hur*>thouse caused a laugh by mov ing that all electorates in the schedule, except Caversham, be struck put. The hon. member in charge of his bantling would then get a bill all to his own glory. After considerable discussion, into which a vein of humour was imported to a large extent, Mr O'Connor moved to report pro gress, but this was negatived. Mr Barron himself next moved to report progress, explaining that the Premier had kindly undertaken to uo something before next election.

Mr Gore moved that tho Chairman do leave the chair.

Sir Geo. Grey thought this most extra ordinary. "No one knows, sir," he pro ceeded to say, " whether the Government will not be out in a few days. Everyone .'ays they will." He thought Mr Barron's usual courage had deserted him, and ad vised him to stick to tho half-hour if he wero sincere as the others were, and not abandon tho bill.

Mr Torniidll twitted Mr Barron in the tre-itment he was receiving from his new found friends. Thore was a motion befoie the Houso, and this should be put without further discussion.

2,1r Ferocs deprecated thia measure and the next order, Mr Stoward s Licensing Bill, being introduced by private members instead of by tbe Government. It was not the sort of legislation in which private members should take a leading part. After the wnsto of time that had taken place that night, ho thought it was time the Govern ment stooped in and put an end to the private members days. (Oh). Ho hoped that this Government or their successors would have tho moral courage to move in that direction. It was a fact (he asserted) that a majority of the House feared and dreaded private members' days, because of tho legislative reforms they proposed Sir Geo. Grky hoped the Premier would do his duty and force the bill through tho Houso. " Even if thia ia tho last charge on which he is allowed to lead, let him lead heroically on," was the advico tendered by tho great pro-Consul. Mr Gore's motion was lost on a division by .'ls to 29.

"Again the Chairman, on putting the question that the schedule be passed as printed, was intercepted by Mr O'Connor, who urged that the Government should state their minds on the subject.

Mr Seddon claimed that thero was an understanding that the last division would be the best, and that factious opposition would cease. ("No.") To continue the pppoeition was a breach of faith. Mr W. F. Buckland oomplained of the nttitudo adopted by tho last speaker in issuing private challenges. Last year he threatened to " chuck a member out of the House. '

Mr Seddon said that this statement was unfounded—iv short, it waa an untruth.

The Committee's proceedings now re sembled a bear garden, members popping up and down and speaking together, and trying to catch the Speaker's eyo. Mr O'Connor said that tho language uEed by tho member for Kumara was uu insult to tho House. Ono member had accused uuother of speaking untruths, and if tin t scut of thing woro permitted, it would loid lo serious consoquonces outsido thu Parliamentary Chamber.

Mr Hamlin (Chairman of Committee) eaid that once beforo that night he had to check members, and he again asked them to restrain themselves. A continuuncc of eCch conduct would not tend to raise tho credit and estimation in wtich tho Com mittee was held. It might, moreover, as ono mombor had romarkod, lead to con sequences outside. Mr Seddon repeated that an untruth had been uttered against him, and he claimed the right to compel the member for Frank lyn North to wiihdian bis words. Mr Hamlin : I trust both hon. members will at onco recall the woidi used, and allow tho Committeo to procoed with tho busi noss. (Hear.) ilr Buckland : I am perfectly willing, as fur as 1 am concerned, to withdraw my words. Mr Seddon : If tho hon. member with' draws his words, thero is no reason for mine. Tho debate was interrupted by the supper adjournment. Tho Houso was continued at 11 p.m. Mr Gore moved that the schedule be struck out, Thia would have the effect of making tho extra half-houruniform through out tho colony. He objected that country members would not support tho bill. After furthor wrangling, Mr TuaNBULL again moved to report progress, and this time with success, the voting being: Ayes, 37 ; noes, i 6. Licensing Amendment BUI. Consideration of Mr Steward's Licensing Act Amendment Bill was commenced at 11.45 p.m. Thero was considerable dis cussion over Clause 3, providing that all adult residents should be entitled to vote. Mr Holmes said the wholo question of femnlo suffrage was before tho Committee, and the quickest way. to decide the matter was by going into division at once. He moved to strike out ' all persons of either sex." Tho Premier said it was proposed to give women without property the same rights as those who had property. In his opinion tho whole female classes should have the samo rights. Mr Bevan was tho main objeotor to giving tho privilege of voting at liconsing elections to women. He thought it would bo sowing an apple of discord in family circlos, and ridiculed women boing carried along by fanatics wearing tho bluo ribbon. Tho discussion was carried on till 1.20, when Mr Fitziierbrrt moved to report progress. This was lost by 32 to 23.

Mr Uiir.Mts's motion was thon put, and was also negatived.

Mr Samuels proposed that the Chairman do now leave the chair. There was not the slightest probability of tho bill passing through Committee that night, and it was therefore idle to continue sitting. This was negativod on tho voices.

Mr Holmes immediately moved that the Chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again. Tho Premier nnd Mr Guinness urged that Clause 3 should bo got through before the Houso roso.

Tho motion to report progress was curried by 28 to 23.

Tho House rose at 1.50. a.m

Upton mentioned that the Engineer had showed tbe feasibility of reducing tho day lubour expenditure of the year to £5,670, whereaslastyear it had amounted t0£11,391.

Cr. Goldie thought the Council ought to havo the names of the men whom the Engineer had already dis charged, and also those whom he proposed to discharge.—Cr.

FEMALE REFORMATORY.

Philanthropic Scheme for Rescuing the Fallon.

It will be gratifying to our readers to learn that the movement so energetically set on foot for the establishment of a female re formatory in connection with the Female Prison Gate Brigade has met with a large measure of success, and that the scheme promises to be carried into offect. Mr Boynlon and Mrs Hutchinson have been unable to proceed with their canvass for subscriptions during the last week or so, but thoy have not by any means completed their task. About i23u has ulroady been subscribed, and it is expected this amount will be very largely increased. A gentleman connected with the liquor trade has volunteered to take round a sub scription list to the various hotels, and the support of the publicans is counted upon. Besides this, lists will be sent to all the factories and workshops, and subscrip tions invited on a given day. The largest subscribers so far are Mr W. S. Wilson £10 ; Mr Chambors, £10 ; Mr J. L. Wil»oni £10; Mr D. Goldie, £5 ; Messrs A. Clark, and Sons, £5 ; Messrs Porter, £5 ; and Mrs Bailey, Mount Eden, £5. Application has been made for the £800 held in trust from the proceeds of the sale of the reformatory site, and £200 now in Mr H. H. Link's hands for the purpose of reformatory. It is also expected that a £ for £ grant amount ing to several hundreds of pounds will bo obtained from the Government. The Com mitteo propose to carry out tho work of erection themselves, and thus save a considerable sum of money. Plans of tho building, which is expected to bo of concrete, havo been promised gratis by Mr P. Chapped - Browne, architect, and that gentleman has also very generously stated that he will sco the work carried out according to plans, and will not make any charge on this account either. Mr W. White, of the ShortlaDd Sawmills.intends to givo a dona tion of timber, a Taranaki settler will lend a team of horses to draw the contract, aud a great deal of help is expected in other ways. The reformatory will probably be established in Mount Roskill or Mount Albert districts.which are free fiom public housoe, and therefore offer few temptations to the inmates to escape. The soil, too, is good in that direction. If the grants referred to are secured, the promoters will add a steam lauhdry to the reformatory, but in any case it will include a laundry of some descrip tion, and a workroom. MrD. S. Chambers has promised a £o sowing machine for tho laiter. A trap will bo employed to convey the laundry and other work to and from town, and no difficulty is anticipated in obtaining plenty of work. It will thus be seen thut the promoters intend to make the institution self-suppoiting, while at the same time the inmates would be credited ! with wages wilh which to supply them with clothing when they wero leaving. It is also proposed that the reformatory, which would be strictly utisectarian, should be under n ! committee consisting of ono delegate frcm each of the different churches in Auckland
