THE VOUCHER ENQUIRY.

(Per United Press Association.) >, WELLINGTON, August 25. In the House during the afternoon the expectation was to have the report of the Auditor-General in, re Fisher, and the officers of the House. The approaches were full at a very early hour and there was much jostling in the presence .of the decorous orderlies to, get into position, . but great was the disappointment .when it became "known that there would not be any report. That in fact the investigation was not completed. At the same time it is understood to be a fact that the AuditorGeneral has made up his mind that there is no such voucher as the Fisher party demanded, and that Captain Seddon never got any payments of the kind mentioned in the charges- of the Fisher party. The amusing part of this story is that the morning paper declared roundly that the report was in the hands of the Government, that it waa an open secret that; \ts contents are adverse to the young New Zealanders, and that the time has arrived for the accusers, who have broken down, •to apologise. What penalty this involves for the crime of "lese majeste" deponent sayeth not. ■ •
