(Eleotric Telegraph -Copyright— United Press (Received Sept. 26, 9.55 a,m.) SYDNEY, Sept, 26. The Council, by 26 to 21, rejected the Woman's Sufferage Bill. Cabinet will discuss the subject as soon as the Arbitration Bill is dealt with. Should the Council reject or mutilate this measure, steps may be taken to strengthen the Council. HOBART, Sept. 25. The censure motion on the Government was defeated by a majority of 14. MELBOURNE, Sept. 25. Mr Barton has announced that the Treasurer will deliver his Budget Speech on October Bth. The tariff wUI be submitted the tame evening. The Immigration Restriction Bill is in Committee. A Government amendment was moved with the view of preventing any embarrassment being thrown on the Imperial Government by specifying that the races be restricted, leaving it to the Government by resolution to determine the races from time to time. This was more the outcome of Japan's influence on the British in regard to Canadian legislation. The debate so far is of a strongly nationalistic tone. Speakers demand insertion of the Japanese even at the risk of the Bill being vetoed.
