It lias not yet been ascertained which of tli© several alternatives to the original constitution of the Executive Commission was approved, but ft was evident from the satisfactory conclusion of the discussion that there has been a substantial change in this respect. The Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. G. W. Forbes, stated that the amendments would be, circulated in due course in a supplementary order paper, but not before to-morrow, and possibly later, because, as lie explained, there is a noconfidence motion before the House in relation to native administration, and the usual procedure is that while the Goverincnt is on its trial it makes no further important decision until a verdict- is given.
