THE GOVERNMENT POLICY.

THE GOVERNOR'S SPEECH-

(by telegraph—own keportek.)

Wellington, this day.

The Governor delivered the Speech at 2 o'clock. The weather was fine, but threaten. ing. There was a large attendance of tho members of both Houses, and also the general public.

Honourable Gentlemen of the Legisla tive Council, and Gentlemen of the

Housk of Representatives.

I havo great pleasure in meeting you in Parliament assembled. It affords mo much gratification to be able to announce to you that the ceremonies on the occasion of the fiftieth year of her most gracious majesty's reign were celebrated with a splendour unsurpassed in the annals of our couutry and evoked the most cordial feelings of loyalty enthusiasm and public reverence and respect in all parts of Her Majesty's dominions.

Tho Imperial Conference

held in London to discuss subjects relat ing to tho prosperity advancement and protection of all interests affect ing Her Majesty's colonial posses sions, conclude its sittings on the 9th may last. The results of its deliberation are regarded by the Imperial authorities and by the Colonial representatives as being of a satisfactory nature. The most important point of agreement is tho determination to provide for the more .eiiieient defence of Her Majesty's distant possessions against external attack. Papers relating to the subject will belaid before you.

Retrenchment,

In its results tho general election just concluded points to a linn resolve on one part of the people of New Zealand to ensure effective and substantial retrenchment U1 the coot of tho public service. My Mi listers feel that it ia their first duty and it is their intention to propose to Parliament large re ductions in the public expenditure of the colony. These reductions will be made in the manner least calculated to produce in convenience and hardship.

The LuMd Question.

To the subject of land administration, my Ministers attach great importance. I am assured that they willinakoincreasing efforts to secure the location of a prosperous class of settlers upon the land of the colony, it has been well said that New Zealand stands unrivalled among British possessions as a tield for settlement, and the aim of all of whatever political creeds should be to promote the establishment of a numerous and prosperous agricultural community where industry cannot fail to add to the material progress of the colony. Aa a first stop, and as soon as practicable pro posals will be submitted to you to render the land system le.ss complicated, and to make the lands of the colony more ea&y of acquirement in small holdings and upou such tenure as selector may pru fer. My Ministers ulso reuoyiiifced tho difficulties under which tow*

small holders of land from i,la> Crown au; struggling and they will consider whut can be done to afford them reasonable relief.

KttUway management,

In regard to our railways, it is tho opinion of many competent to judge that the system under which tho railways are worked is unsatisfactory, and it is believed that judicious changes can be made whereby public convenience may be more consulted, and a better revenue obtained.

Protective Tariffs.

My Ministers recognise that alterations in the tariff are required to remove the anomalies which have been brought into existenco by the altered condition of things. They were anxious to have laid before you proposals for fche readjust ment of duties, but until you givo your opinion upon their measures for effecting retrenchment in the public service they feel that alterations of a thorough and satisfactory nature cannot bo made. They will, however, during the coming recess, give the matter their careful consideration and will bring before you measures dealing with this important subject. As tho recess will necessarily be a short one the time lost will in the opinion of my Ministers bo more than compensate for by the sub ject being dealt with deliberately and thoroughly.

The Native Land Laws,

My Ministers have under consideration the necessity of amending the laws relating to native lands, and it will probably be ne cessary during the present session to pass some measure of a temporary character to allay the feeling of dissatisfaction which at present exists. After ascertaining during the recess the views and wishes of the native people and after weighing the subject carefully m all its bearings comprehensive measures will bo submitted for your con sideration.

Gentlemen of The sentativ£s. —

House ojf Remie

The estimates of revenue and expendi ture will show in detail the reductions to which I have already referred. .1 regret to say that at the present time our principal .source of revenue, the Customs, elioiva no yign of improvement, but my advisers trust that by limiting the public expendi ture it will be possible to avoid placing further burdens upon the people.

Hon. Gentlemen of the Legislative Coun* ciij an*d Gknti/jemekf or the Houss or R EPRES ENTATIVES.

This, the second session of the year, being necessarily .held at an inconvenient period and under extraordinary circumstances,it is proposed to submit for your consideration only such measures as may bo urgently re quired

Tho Midland Railway.

Negotatione relative to the constructio of the Midland Railway are still pendn iug and you will be required to express your opinion upon certain im portant points which yet remain to be settled. Consistently with their duty to the colony my ministers will use every effort to enable Parliament to arrive at a fair and reasonable solution of existing difficulties in connection with this im portant work.

The Edacation System,

My Government view with satisfaction the strong feeling manifested by the people of the colony generally in iavour of our educational system and desire to convey an assurance that whilst its . expense will be curtailed wherever practicable no steps will be taken by them which would have the effect of repairing its efficiency. I commend to your attention the impor tant questions that will be brought before you, and I hope that, under the blessing of God, your labours may prove of great ser vice to the Colony.

Mr Graham, (member for East Coast), will move the Address-in-Reply ; and Mr McGregor, (member for Akaroa), will second it.

An important decision was given by His Honor M r Justice Gillies in the ease Tokatea G.M. Company v. R. Mowbray. TJie case was an appeal against a judgment by the Warden at Coromandel in a claim for calls. His Honor upheld the decision of AYarden, which was adverse to the Com pany on the ground that the call was made under the wrong Act. James Stanton, of Alten Road, Auckland a carpenter and boarding-house proprietor, ■was to-day adjudicated a bankrupt. The adjourned meeting in connection with the formation of a Fire Brigade for Devonport is announced to take place to morrow (Thursday) evening.

FIRE AT ROCKY NOOK.

About 12.30 o'clock this morning a fire alarm was rung out from the bell at the corner of Pitfc-streeb and Karangahape Road, and a bright glare in the direction of Eden Ter : race led peoplo who were astir to tho precise location of the flames. They proved to have broken out in a gabled cottage of three rooms and a scullery, owned and occupied by Mr Honry Kramer, accountant and commission agent, and situated in Wynyard-street, Woodville, otherwise known a3 Porters paddock, midway between the JXew North Road and View Road. The fire made rapid progress, and as tho only water supply available was that obtained from a tank and dashed on the liames in bucket ful, the hopes of saving the building—it any existed—were speedily dispelled. The neighbours, however assisted by some members of the Kyber Pass Branch Fire Brigade, rendered very effectual service in savin"- the four roomed cottage of Henry Kahler, between which and Kramer s cot ta"-o there was only a six foot wide passage! By dint of unflagging exer tion JKahler's house was only slightly damaged, while Captain Field and a couple of members of tho Salvage Corps looked after Kahler'a furniture, which had been bundled out hurriedly into tho paddock. Both house and furniture were insured with tho South British for £225. Mi William J. Sawyer, who resides on the other bide of Kramer's dwelling, but whose House was fortunately about twenty yards distant, had about forty feet of his fencing and a fowlhouso destroyed. Kramer's house of course was burnt to tho ground, and as the owner was only insured For i'loo—viz. £50 with tho Union Co. on house and £00 with ■ the South British Co. on the furniture—ho estimates his loas at £30 over and above these amounts. Tho only property he was able to .save was some weaving apparel. Along with his furniture were destroyed his watch andiaccountbuoks and business papers. ]\]r Kramer states that he, his wife, and two very young children retired to rest about 11 o'clock last night, leaving a small lire burning upon a colonial oven in the kitchen, and .some napkins and other linen hanging in front of it to dry. Ho surmises that one thCoO articles must have ignited and thus originated tho fire. Shortly after midnight lie was awakened by a eenso of suffocation and a strong smell of smoke and fire. On getting up he saw the back part of the house, where the kitchen in situated, in liames. He threw up his bedroom window, and started to get his wife and two children, one aged three years and theotherbutfourweekSjOUtof the house. His next door neighbour, Mr Henry Kahler, who had been aroused by his cries and the noise of tho flame;*, assisted him i:i doing

.so. Kramer then succeeded in securing ;i small quantity of wearing apparel, but wilt able to save notiiin" olso. Omslnbk* Abruin." end Mc('oy and Deflective Dooian wore prci'i nt nt< the tire.
