AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENTS.
A MOTION OF CENSURE.
SYDNEY, November 3.
In the Legislative Assembly Mr Lyne moved his censure motion in reference to the Lucknow strike, and strongly condemned the Minister of Mines' minute, which, he said, outraged all precedents by attempting to influence the Mining Warden. It was a diabolical and cowardly outrage on all fair play and political decency. Air Reid replied with a strong defence. He said tiie Minister bad honestly carried out the power placed in his hands, and the Government were willing to stand or fall on the issue.
The debate was then adjourned. After Mr Lyne's speech the Labour Party held a caucus, and unanimously decided to support the Government. The result is, therefore, a foregone conclusion. SYDNEY, this day.
In the Legislative Assembly, Mr Lynes' motion was defeated by Go to 33. The Labour Party voted with the Government. Mr McGowcn, as spokesman, blamed the warden, not the Minister for Mines for acting partially. The party, he said, had determined to have an inquiry, but Mi Lynes' motion was intended to burk.ii.quiry.
