PARLIAMENTARY.

[F Oil OUR OWN SPECIAL REPORTER.] Wellington, May 20, The Women’s Suffrage Bill was further considered in Committee late last night when clause 2, providing that the women should be included with the qualification of the Electors Act evoked a long discussion and was lost by 21 to 19, the clause being struck out. The Treasurer moved to report progress and said he would amend next clause so as to get oyer any little difficulty as members were so unsettled in their minds that per-, haps some did not know which way they were noting. Progress was reported. Mr O’Callaghan moved that the House go into Cornmitteo that day six months but subsequeu Iy withdrew his motion, remarking that ho believed the Treasurer had been completely mislead by a fictitious majority and that he was certain that the opinion of the country would ho against the bill. The ' further • ••mm 11 al of the bill was set down for Friday next. The doinfc Library Committee

recommend that all surplus periodicals in the general Assembly Library should be handed over to the Colonial Secretary for distribution among the various hospitals .uni charitable institutions in Xew Zealand,

Thin afternoon Mr Taylor asked tho Minister for Public Works what becomes of all the fines inflicted upon employees of the Government throughout the Colony for breathes of regulations under which they work, into what f mid aie the above fines paid, and for what purpose is the fund so created and used. The Minister said that the fines were paid into a fund vested in the Public Trustee for making tho nucleus of a superannuation fund.

The Minister for Public Works informed Mr Tvoss this afternoon that a loss of L 40,000 would result if the system of return tickets on railway lines was reintroduced.

Mr Thompson asked the Defence Minister if commissioned officers of tho Volunteer force are entitled to long service medals, and if not will Ministers feel inclined to carry out the rule followed in England, viz., to grant a step in rank to all officers who have served 1(5 years. The Minister said that it was not proposad to give long service medals to Volunteer officers, and as to the second point of the question it was not the custom in England.

The Lords of tho Admiralty had expressed to (lie Agent-General their readiness to enter into an arrangement for supplies of Hew Zealand beef and mutton.

In reply to Mr Jones, who asked the Colonial Treasurer if he would take steps to impose a tax on the totalisator for the benefit of charitable institutions, the Treasurer said that the Government did not care to have any colonial revenue from the totalisator. but if any tax was made they would like to see it devoted to charitable aid. The debate on the Financial Statement will take place next Wednesday.

The House will not sit on Tuesday (Queen’s Birthday). A motion that on its rising to-night it be adjourned until Wednesday afternoon was agreed to. A direct vote of want of confidence will, it is stated, be moved on Wednesday either by Major Atkinson or Mr Ormond, probably the latter. It is said that the clause which the Premier proposes to insert in the Eight Hours Bill in tho interests of the barmaids provides fhat these young women shall work in relays. By an approximate estimate of the returns from the proposed alterations in the tariff just tabled by the Government the estimated, annual increase of revenue is set down at Elßo,ooo. An admirable proof of the sincerity of the Parliamentary professions of desire for economy and of the fact that so far from being prepared to make any personal sacrifice of their honorarium or privileges members generally are only too anxious to obtain any further perquisites they can get, is afforded by a notice in last night’s Gazette. This is an Order in Council granting members of the Legislature during session the privilege of sending delayed telegrams on public matters at the reduced rate for the first 25 words of (sd, and for every additional four words or fraction of four, Id, The Government whips are confident of a majority of three if a direct vote of want of confidence is moved.

The Evening Post strongly urges the admission of women to Parliament.

Mr James Mills, Mr Macandrew’s successor, made his maiden speech this afternoon, when he moved that the Eepresontation Bill should be re-committed in order that 7.1 might he reinstated as the number of members. CaptainSutter seconded the motion. The Premier hoped that the House would let the bill pass. If the House again went into Committee his responsibility in regard to it ceased. He did not think it was economy to waste time over a third committal of the bill. Mr Dargaville in opposing the motion took occasion to say that his conduct in connection with the bill on .Saturday evening last had been misunderstood and misrepresented. (A voice—only a, by the newspapers). “ Well,” said Mr Dargavillc “on the eve of a general election I have a great regard for the newspapers and their opinions.” [Laughter.] The debate is (still proceeding. A message was presented from the Governor to-day asking the Horse to vote one thousand pounds a year for ten rears for the maintenance of the 'lmperial Institute. The result of the debate on Mr Mill?’ motion was that it was thrown out, the voting being—ayes, 20 ; uoes, 50.

The Employment of ILmialos 'Bill, which . pro [Mint'd to limit the hours of female labor to eight hours per diem was thrown out. In the Legislative Council this afternoon, a very singular scene was witnessed in the lobby During HaliC recent visit, and observing Sir George Grey in the distance, Hall advanced, and saying he would like bygones to be bygones, lie Id out liia band to Sir George, who, without reply, raised ins clenched fist, and passed on without r< mark.

I tried all possible means to get relief, by seeking the best medical advice. I had swallowed sufficient of l.lieir stuff to float a man-of-war. so to speak, but all to no avail. A friend of mi> e, coming en the scene in the n idst of my sufferings, brought with him a buttle of your Seigel Syrup; he advised me to try it. eta'ing that he felt confident it would benefit me. Being weary of trying son.any drugs, 1 condemned it before trial, thinking it could not possibly do me any g- oil, but ultimately deter, mined to take 'be Syrup, After doing so for“sbort lin e it winked such a change in me that T continued taking it for nearly two months, and linn I ft It thoroughly cured for I have discontinued its use for five weeks, and feel in I lie best of health and can pnrhko of any kind of food with case an 1 comfort lam therefore thankful 1 1 you that, through the instrumentality of your valuable medici e. lam r. stored to the s:ate of health I now en-

For years I have been suffering from bilious attacks, wh eh began with giddiness , then a midst would come before my eyes, so that I should not be able to recognise anyone or anything at the distance of a yard or two from my face. This would be followed by excessive trembling of my knees, or that I could not stand without supports after which a severe headache would occur lasting often <*”o or three days. I have various remedies for these distressing symptoms, but untg I trie 1 Seigel’s Syrup I had no relief. Sit cc then I have had excellent health in eviry jespec 1 , and if ever I feel a headache coming ou 1 take one dose of the Syrup which arrests it. Hoping that tliis testimony may he the means of inducing o'hers (who suffer as I need) to try the Syrup, as I feel sure they will receive speedy benefit and ultimately he cured, 1 beg to remain, jours faithfully.
