FATE OF UPPER HOUSE.
NEW SOUTH WALES FIGHT. LABOUR PREMIER DETERMINED. A. and N.Z. SYDNEY. Jan. 26. The State Premier, Mr. J. T. Lang, still expresses determination to see the Legislative Council abolished. It is probable that hp will approach the Governor in the present recess with regard to making more appointments to the Council. The feeling in political circles is that the Governor will not be a party to the making of additional appointments. Referring to the use of police to search for the member of tho Legislative Council who was absent a few days ago, Mr. Lang said when it was discovered that the member in question had left his hotel in the morning and had not returned, his friends became alarmed. They all asserted that unless he had met with an accident his vote for the Government was certain.
Foul play was oven suggested in view of the importance of the issue which was at. stake. It was the duty of the police to find citizens who had disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Surely there could be no more suspicious circumstance than the disappearance of a legislator on the eve of an important division.
