VICTORIAN VOTING.
Deciding How Government Shall Meet Defeat. CRITICAL WEEK-END. (Received 11 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. The counting of preference votes continues, but the position is unaltered. It will probably be the end of the week before the preference votes are allotted, and until then it is to say what the final state of the parties will be. The Premier, Mr. -T. Allan, declined to say whether he would meet the House and take the probable defeat of the Government there, or submit the resignation of his Ministry before the House meets, until he has seen the final count. Individual Ministers favour meeting Parliament and throwing upon the House the responsibility of installing a Labour Government. The latest returns give the Independents an additional seat, making four in all, and reducing the Nationalists' total to nineteen. Others are unaltered.
