PARLIAMENTARY.

(BY TELEGKAPH— OWN HEPOtITEK.)

Wellington, this day. The Jfo-Confidencc JSclbate.

As was to be expected, the Government re fuse to go on with the ordinary business while a no-corifklence debate is progressing, and-within ten minutes of the House resum ing yesterday aftornoon Mr Macarthur (Manawatu) resumed the debate in the absence of Mr Beetham. Ho de scribed the Premier's address on Wed nesday night as -a last dying speech, and prophesied that the country would confirm the verdict of the House in con demning the Government's financial propo sals. He accused the Premier of again attempting to throw upon the Opposition the onus of an election on the old Represen tation Bill. It was the duty of tho Govern ment to see that the Representation Bill was passed before a dissolution took place, and if they did not do so the blame was theirs. It waa unfair to charge the Opposition with diversity of opinion amongst their followers when there whs even greater diversity amongst the Government supporters.' They had evidence of this in the fact that one of the Government sup porters had endeavoured to induce another to move an amendment to the financial proposals; it was well known who was meant.

Messrs Dargavillo and Kerr took the op portunity of saying they did not know who was referred to. (Laughter and applause.) Mr Macarthur (proceeding) predicted that not 10 persons of tho unemployed would fjueceed on the special settlements, and lie spoke from practical oxperionco. He trusted the House would return to the principles of thrift, economy, and retrenchment. The administration of the Minister of Mines had been exfcravagent. The Minister of Justice had very little to do and did it very well, and events showed, that they could dispense with his portfolio and save his salary. The Railway Manager and the Minister of Works had boen dis appointing, and had effected no improve ment. The Native Minister, the Colonial Treasurer, and the Premier wero each roughly handled by the speaker, who likened them to tho barren fig-tree referred to in Scripture, and ex pressed the oiiinion that they should bo cut down.

Violent Speech—Sir Dargavillc

fiebulted

Mr Dargaville, who was the next speaker, did not rise till the question was being put by the Speaker. Ho defended the Govern ment from what ho characterised as tho cruel, cowardly, and dishonourable attack made upon them by the member for Wel lington South. 'J.ho Speaker reprimanded the lion, mem ber for the use of unparliamentary lan guage, and the term "dishonourable''being repeated, the Speaker insisted on its with drawal, and repeated his reprimand. Mr Dargavillo proceeded to quote figures to ohow that in a little over four years tlio Atkinson Government borrowed and ex pended seven millions and a quarter ; while tho present Government, during three years of office, had borrowed only £3,525,000, of which amount £71."J,000 was still unexpended. Tho only ob jection to tho tariff proposals emana ted from the Chambers of Commerce, which were irresponsible bodies, self nominated and self-appointed. During the last ten days ho had receivod fully 100 letters and telegrams from all parts of the colony relative to the tariff, and of these 90 per cent, were in its favour. The lion, member proceeded to make a bitter personal attack, on Mr Hobbs in con nection with the visit of that gentle man to tho village settlements north of Auckland. He accused Mr Hobbs of damaging the case of the village settle mants by misrepresentation, and declared that under the heading of " Special Corres pondent "* he had damaged the scheme by his telegrams to the newspapers. The village settlements, he (Mr Dargaville) con sidered formed the greatest triumphs of the present Government, and he proceeded to give a glowing account of tho Erosperity of the settlements which he ad recently visited. Ho complained of injury done to his political reputation by rumours inspired by his opponents, and wired out by newspaper correspondents. That was a scandalous way of attacking one's political opponents ; it was a mean, back-door, slanderous way of injuring an opponent.

The Speaker here administered another scathing rebuke to the hon. member, who should not forget that he was one of the elect family, and that use of such language ■within the walls of that chamber would not be tolerated. If it were repeated, ho con sidered it would be his duty to use the power with which he was invested to pre vent anything of the kind in future.

Mr Darsraville in his closing remarks urged Atickland to voto with the Govern ment, ill order to avoid fchc necessity of going to the country on the old Represen tation Bill.

Mr Montgomery Joins the Oppo

sifiou

Mr Montgomery, who followed, said that the Financial Statement was looked for ward to by the country , with the greatest interest because it was known there would be a .heavy deficit. From Ministerial speeches during the recess the public was led to believe there had been great retrenchment, and that an era of eco nomy had truly .commenced. An-examina tion of the figiu'es in the Statement showed no saving, and members should denounce "tlie false impression sought to be made. The speaker;proceeded to . criticise the saving in the past, and took exception to - the Treasurer's figui^es, his address'

i' being ; a. telling indictment against the financial policy of the Government. In closing his able .speech, Mr Montgomery 6aid he would vote against the measures •of the Government, and necessarily he would vote for Major Atkinson's amend , ment. He voted for the amendment because lie wished to see retrenchment, and not with a view to bringing back the Continuous Ministry. He. hoped the result of the di vision would bean appeal to the country, for !he felt convinced that the condition of New Zealand had been so well placed before men's minds within the past few months that they would regard retrenchment as a necessity if the colony was to pay its way without being taxed to an .enormous extent. Prudence, economy, and retrenchment would be insisted on. What ever Ministry came into office after the general election they would carry out tho voice of the people. (Opposition cheers.) ■''Mr Fyke's Opinion. Mr Pyke (Dunstan) said that had a vote of no-confidence been brought down he should have opposed it; not that he had .. any confidence in the Ministry, but he considered it impolitic to move such a vote in a moribund parliament. He supported the present amendment, however, and the Premier having treated it as a Ministerial question, that was his busi . ness only ; .he regarded that statement as an, act of .terrorism. Only two sessions ago the Treasurer's tariff proposals were ignominously rejected, _yet . Ministers icnominiously remained . in their, seats. theieek then, and had been ■ swallowing it ever since (laughter.) The talk of Encouraging local enterprise was .pretty well-worn out. The''Premier on ' Wednesday had .stated that the refusal; of ihe House to pass their tariff proposals iin 18S5 ' had affected the , credit .;*>f \ this colony on the • English 'market. The icontinuance of the present Ministry, in - Oflicc had affected Jthe.\cblpny to a greater

extent, and it would never improve till their removal was brought about or England had lost all faith in us. He was satisfied that protection would ruin the colony, and the constant interference with the tariff was unsettling trade. He ad vocated large reductions in the Defence De partment and in the education vote. 1 ro perty tax exemptions might also be reduced to L2OO, and by these three means a quarter of a million of money would be raised. He invited members to vote on principle rather than on party considera tions. „, ~ More Condemnation. ■Dr Newman (Thorndon) made the third consecutive speaker from the Opposition side of the House. After referring at length to Sir J. Vogel's promises, which had not been carried Out, he wont On to show that a saving could bo made in Ministers, in travelling expenses, and in commissions paid to different persons who took groat sums from the colony. lie accused Sir Julius Vogel of ruining the credit of the colony by flooding tho market with conversion against the advice of the Agent-General, who told him repeatedly he was endangering future loans. : Mr Bnclcland (Franklin North) said that the debate appeared to be one-sided,- and |tho Government were taking their thrash ing very, quietly. The Treasurer in his 'Financial Statement had'tried to show that we were living in glass houses instead of getting the colony out of its difficulties, lie went through tho Estimates, and i denied that there had been any genuine saving. Ab to tho tariff, lie approved of some of the duties and objected to others. IHe unreservedly condomned the special I settlement scheme, which was characterised as a signal failure. The question people would have shortly to decide was whether they wero to have relief, or whether ithey were to be crushed. If taxa tion wero increased tho people wauld shortly have very little property left. They were now standing on the verge of a cat astrophe. As a solicitor who had the oppor tunity of knowing the state of other people's business, ho declared that tho colony was in such a condition as no member of the Ministry imagined. Other Speeches. Mr Levestam (Nelson) spoke on tho Government side, and claimed that the Treasurer had fulfilled several of tho prom ises ho made when taking office. Various Opposition speakers seemed to disagree amongst themselves as to how tho revenue was to be raised. Protection was necessary, and unless we built up in dustries the colony would never become what nature intended her to be —the manu facturing emporium of the Southern Hemi sphere. If Major Atkinson's amendment were carried, there would be complete chaos, for a dissolution would certainly follow.

Mr Hursthouso (Motueka) believed that under the most vicious enactments that could bo enacted, New Zealand must flourish ; but to state that it would become prosperous by increasing the heavy duties was tolling him what ho could not believe. .His opinion was that a free made policy was what the colony re quired. Several industries had been highly protected and had failed, while as to the iron industry, Messrs Reid and Gray of Otago, and Duncan and Sons, of Chrifltchurch, had made large fortunes without the assistance of a protective tariff. Ho had como there pledged to his con stituents to oppose all increases of- taxa tion, and ho would therefore be bound to vote against Government. He re gretted that the Government had taken their stand on this question. They were a good Government, and ho held them in highest esteem, and therefore he regretted that thoy had chosen to treat Major Atkin son's amendment as- a party question, especially as, if successful, it would mean the holding of a winter election. Mr Garnck (St. Albans) took up the run ning after the 10.30 adjournment. Thorough retrenchment in Civil Service was absolutely necessary, but he did not look for it in the present Government. The Legislative Expenditure Committee last session reported in favour of a reduced number of members of the House, but whon individual action camo to be taken on this matter, members had declined any reduc tion. If the House was earnest in recom mending retrenchment they should begin at home first, by reducing tho number of members, and then reducing the honorariums to Ll5O. This House was becoming com posed to a considerable extent of the poli tician—the man who got his living by politics and had his price. Ho objected to the payment of the Chairman of the Sessional Committee, and thought tho salary of the Chairman of Committees (Mr Hamlin) should be reduced by L'2oo. The officers of the House should also be considerably retrenched, and he regretted that the Treasurer had not dealt with the question of legislative expenditure instead of inviting the House to deal with it. The conclusion he had come to was that the members of the Go vernment alone earned their salaries. The lion member, after severely criticising tho tariff proposals, as being oppressive on the working classes, resumed his seat with out giving tho slightest indication as to how he intended to vote.

Mr W. C. Smith, who was the next speaker, sought to prove by comparison that the Government's financial policy was more satisfactory than that of Major Atkinson's administration. The desire of the Opposition appeared to be to get. rid of tho Government without any regard to what would follow. There had been great improvements in the ad ministration during the last two years, and the feeling throughout the coun try was one of satisfaction with the Government. The settlement of the land would solve the unemployed and financial difficulties of the country.

The debate waa adjourned at 12.15 on the motion of the Colonial Treasurer.

DARING TRAIN ROBBERY.

The .west-bound express of the Southern Pacific Railway was stopped and robbed at Papago station, 18 miles east of Tucsen, Arizona^n the night of.April 28th by eight men, all masked, except the leader, who stood a little way off from tho scene of operations, coolly directing the gang, and with a wide-rimmed hat slouched over his face. Obstructions had been placed on the track so that if the driver failed to slow up at the danger signal shown by the robbers, the train Avould have been derailed, and probably many lives lost. As soon as the train stopped, a dozen or. more shots were fired into the express car, and a man with a pistol in each hand boarded the - locomotive and com pelled the engineer to got down. Other robbers had, in the meantime, been trying to open the express car. Failing, they placed a large cartridge of giant powder under it, and compelled the engineer to light the fuse attached. To avoid being blown up, the messenger opened the car, and the robbers took possession. They went through the mail and express cars, but did not get more than 5,000d015., of which 1,500d015. was in Mexican silver. -They got two packages of. railroad money—one of. 1,210 dols., and one ,of 500d015., and also took two packages -of postage stamps going to San "Francisco. The express messenger 'threw 5,00.0d015. in gold into the stove before he opened .the car-door and so saved "the money. None of the ..passengers wore moles bed. In their proceedings the robbers showed great method and some railroad knowledge in handling the.train. "Nine of the robbers were subsequently arrested and arejhowjn in Tucsen, .Arizona. Two .or three of"the party are old railway hands,
