PARLIAMENT.

IMPORTANT BILLS DUE. WEEK LIKELY TO BE A BI'SY ONE. [THE FBESS Special Service.] WELLINGTON, October 30. The present week in Parliameut promises to be a busy one, especially in the House of Representatives. It is expected that the Houso will be busy with the Public Works Statement and Estimates on Monday evening. An Auckland member will have a good (teal to say about the delay in completing the Arapuni dam by the contractors. The Licensing Bill is likely to be introduced this week. It is claimed that there is a certain majority in favour of two issues only at the licensing poll. The Rural Intermedial Credits Bill will probably be put through its final stages, and the Religious Exorcises in Schools Bill is likely to be discussed this week'. There is a. majority in the House in favour of the latter Bill, but, if there is a very determined stonewall against it, there may not be time to pass it through all its stages at this late period of the session. There is still a considerable amount of work for Parliament to do, and the session is not likely to end before November 19th. Stonewalling tactics are threatened on the Liquor and Bible-in-Schools question.
