PARLIAMENTARY.

(BY TELKQ/lAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER.)

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-

Wellington, Monday. Immediately after prayera, the member f°r Bruce was introduced by Messrs Mac-

Andrew and Fulton. The Premier moved that Government business have precedence on Thursday oven ings in future. After some discussion the motion »us ngreed to. Public Works Statement. Mr Montgomery asked without notice when the Public Works Statement w°ula be delivered. The Minister for Works said that since he camo into the House the member tor Akaroa had been good enough to give him notice that ho intended to ask the question. He had to stato in reply that it was Ins intention to havo brought down the VVorus Statement at the end of this week, >->ut »n view of the recent disturbance of public business ho was unable at the present moment to saygon what day the Statement would be brought down. It would be brought down as soon as it possibly could be. (Laughter.) . Major Atkinson : Will the hon. gentle man kindly inform the House of the nature of tho disturbance roferred to ? The Minister for Works in reply: i might ask my friend what the disturbance has been, and what haa been the cause ot Major Atkinson was about to vouchsafe an answer, when ho was interrupted by the Speaker remarking that tho next order had been called on. The Estimates. The House thon went into Committee of Supply on the Estimates. The Minister of Education's Department • On the item public schools, £315,500, Captain Sutter moved the reduction ot the special capitation allowance from 5a to 2s od. The Pkemieu said this could not be done, as existing arrangements would require the carrying of the whole vote. Captain SuTTHit*eaid that in his district the expenditure on education was so great that secondary schools were being erected all over the country. Mr Moss suggested that if Captain Sutter's district did not want the aid, the vote for that district should be struck out. He assured the Committee^ that Auckland required as much money as it could get. Mr Turnbuix said ho had an amendment to move before that of Captain Sutter, viz., tho reduction of tho wholo vote by £50,000. Ho affirmed that tho children of wealthy parents who sould well afford to pay took advantage of free education. He thought parents should bo required to make a statutory declaration that they could not afford to pay for the education of their chil dren. Besides this, thoy wore grinding down their Roman Catholic fellow colonists, who wbko striving to educate their children themselves. Mr Fiißfius condemned the action of Mr Turnbull in bringing on a debato on the education quostion at this timo. He spoke strongly against the amendment. Mr Daroavili.e said the effect of the amendment would be that 50 or 00 per cent, of tho teachars' salaries would require to bo taken away. Ho hoped that not a penny of tho voto would be reduced. Mr TokshcHi urged that tho Committee should submit to a moderate reduction of the voto. After further discussion, Mr Fr/i/rox asked tho Minister for Education what effect tho limitation of tho school age pro posed in the Legislative Council would havo on the voto. Tho Premier replied a reduction of £50,000 or £1)0,000 per annum. Mr Fekmns further questioned tho I'iemior, and elicjted tho information that tho striking ofl' of children under soven years of ago would mean tho closing of a largo number of small schools in sparsely settled districts. Mr Montgomery eaid it was important that children should attend school before they were seven years of ago, and quoted statistics of other countries that tho limit of school ago ranged from three to live years. Ift said also that tho figures showed that theNowZealand system wasmore economical than that of the ei&tor colonies. He con domtied strongly tho reduction of the voto.

Mr Torsdui.li fniii tho children of tlie poorer classed loft school at eleven years, so that after tint rige tlio voto largely benefited children of tho intermediate classes. Mr Buckland said a privato school would beat tho Government school at every point for boys. At ParneU Grammar School, boys educated at a cost of £10 per annum beat those educated at Auckland Grammar School, whoso education cost £17 10s. It was a furco trying to teach children undor sovon. Ho learnt more at ten years than ho had for years previously, and, though he said it himself, ho generally wa9 at tho head of his cla^s. Mr Joyce raised a laugh by remarking that it was evident Mr Bucklar.d had not been a precocious child. Ho was developing now, and in tho course of 10 or 20 years, when he had got rid of his juvenility, he was sure he would bo one of the gravest seigneurs in the House. He opposed the reduction cf tho voto. Mr Ormond thought tho Public Works Statement should have been brought down before they wore called on to deal with tho important matter of the education estimates. He called on Mr Stout to let tho House know if tho Ministry earnestly wished the education system maintained in its entirety. Mr Sioct eaid that it was not fair to aslt him to discuss Captain Sutter's amendment when dealing with one by Mr Turnbull. On Mr Turnbull's amendment being put, the voting was : Ayes, C ; noes, C 2. Captain Sutter then moved tbat a special capitation allowance (80,000 at 0s) be re duced from £20,0 i 0 by £1. The Minister for Education denied (hat an attack on the extra capitation allowance was an attack on the education system. Personally, he thought this allowance was somewhat excessive, and for that reason wished the feeling of tho Committee tested. Mr Bryck did not think the education system worked fairly, as between rich and poor. In his opinion a fee should be charged for higher primary schools, except in easea of ncholarehips. He deprecated any reduction in tho vote, except by the Government.

Mr Ormond denied that the special capitation allowance could bo done with out. Ho deprecated the Premier inviting tho Committee to take a vote to indicate to the Government tho wish of Parliament on the matter. Ho thought that they should encourage lads to remain at school. For that reason ho objected to removing tho capitation allowance from the higher classes of primary education. Mr Fulton preseed tho Government to disclose what would bo the building vote. Mr Stoot said the same amount as last year.

Mr Fulton feared that with the increased number of children, this would not be sufficient. The amendment was lost on the voicos. The Horn, £310,500, public schools, was thon carried on the voices.

Native Schools, £ 15,400, passed as printed. Item, Industrial Sckooh, £17,471. Mr FmiiEUBKUT. moved that the sum of £185 for servants bs struck out, and from his story of a personal visit of inspection it appeared that there was an absolute want of discipline there. The Premier defended the item, and said arrangements had been made with the trustees of the Costley estate whereby technical education would be provided.

Mr Turndull said the Kohimarama insti tution was a wasto of money, because there was no means of employing the lads in the place,

The item was carried,

The following iteiys passed without dis cussion :-Deaf and Dumb Institution, £2,6i0; higher education, £3,500; subsi dies tp public libraiips, £4,000 ; total vote,

Thus the votp passed as printed, Class IV,—Justice Department was next considered. For this the total vote asked for was £11G,660. Item, Department of Justice, £050, agreed to ; item, Cyown Law Oihce, £8,325.

Mr Rolhston expressed the opinion that from a return laid on the table of pro fessional Eontlemen engaged by the Govern ment, there was great room for improve ment. The law expenses of the colony were quite appalling, J _ Mr Cokolly said the amount paid away in fees to lawyers was an increasing evil The Premier defended the expenditure of the Crown Law Department, and «aid that, where possible, ho appeared himself in Court to save expense. Item passed as printed. ' '

Tlie following items also passed as printed aftpr considerable discussion. Patent Office, H °,?' Su Prenie Court. £3,595; Bankruptcy '}%'• ,IJlstrict Resident Magistrate's and Warden's Courts, £48,414; o.iminal prosecutions, £11,600 ; Coroners, £3,200 ; mwoellaneoua cervices, £3,000 j prisons, ±34,115.

At 1 40 a.m., the question was put that, the Chairman do report progress, and ask leave to sit again, and the House rose.

THE EAST AND WEST COAST RAILWAY CONTRACT.

An Important Discovery.

(BY TELEQRAPH—SPECIAL REPORTER.)

Wmxington, this day. Sir Geo. Grey has a wonderful forte for reading and analysing the contents of Par liamentary papers. Yesterday, while con ning over the contract entored into by the Government with the promoters of the East and West Coast and Nelson Railways, he dropped on the following clause :— "(19) And it is hereby lastly agreed that in case any provision of this contract as to allocation of land thcroundor shall be modified oithor wholly or in part by a resolution or resolutions of tho General Assembly of New Zealand at the next en suing session thereof, the contractors.ehall not have any claim ordemand upon oragainst the Queon or the Governmentof thecolony of New Zealand for any loss or damage by reason of such modification, or in conse quence of the operation of any such_ resolu tion ; and any property, estate, right, or interest that may have been acquired by tho contractors under or by virtue of these presents shall to the extent, and in the manner specified in any such resolution be, and be deemed to have again become, the property of the Queen, or to revest in the Queen, as the case may require; and, further, that nothing contained in this contract shall be deemed in any way to abridge, oontrol, modify, or supersede any power, remedy, or authority which, under the principal Act or said Act, is vested in, or may be exercised by, the Govornor-in-Council or tho Governor or Minister for Public Works." Sir George Grey contends that us no modification has been made heretofore, and unless one is made during the present session, the pro moters will be able to prefer a claim for the endowment of land proposed to be given in connection with the construction of the railways. To meet the case, he proposes moving as follows: " Whereas the Governor did upon the seventeenth day of January, 1885, enter into a contract with certain persons for the construction of the East and West Coast (Middle Island) and Nelson Railways, and did, by certain provisions of that contract, agree to the allocation of the Crown lands therein set forth, it is heroby resolved, as prescribed by the nine teenth section of said contract, that all the provisions regarding the allocation of land in said contract are wholly and in part modified, and that tho contractors for sair) railways shall have no claim to any land, or to be put in possession of any Crown lands, under said contract, except land of the width o,nd. extent necessary for tho construction of such railway, and any Crown land adjacent thereto which may be available and in the opinion of tho Minister of Public Works may bo required for side cuttings, ballast ing, spoilbanks, road approaches, and road diversions, for the said railway."

THAMES-TE AROHA RAILWAY.

Meeting at tho Thames.

[jiY TELEURAPH -OWN CORRESPONDENT.)

Thames, thia day. A I-ATWELY-attunded mooting of burgesses was hold last night, to consider tho steps to bo taken to urge tho Government to pro coed with tho construction of the Thames Valley line. A resolution waa adopted, "That thia mooting is of opinion that the improved prospects of tho district demand the more earnest prosecution of railway works from tho Thames to Te Aroha, viz., by at onco inviting tendora for the bridges over the five creeks between Kopa and Hikutaia, which will complete the formation of the line as far as the present contract extends. Also, that surveys and working, drawings for the continuance of tho line to Te Aroha slnuld at once be undertaken, and immediately hereafter contracts be let for the construction of this important section of the Thames - Te Aroha railway." It was also resolved that copies of tho foregoing should be forwarded to tho Government and the members for tho Thames, Coromandol, Waikato, and Tauranga, requesting them to act in concert s in urging the Government to place a suflieient sum on the Estimates to accomplish the works, and pointing ou I that, though seven years have elapsed since the railway was begun, not one mile is ye^ open for public traffic.
