The Victorian Railway Bill.
(Per Press Association.) Melbourne, February 24. The Legislative Council, in giving its reasons for amending the Railway Bill stated that the amendments were in accordance with the report of the Railway Board, and calculated to secure the management of the railways on a sound commercial basis, while the Assembly Bill would not enable a competent manager to be obtained and would have re-established political influence. A large section of the Assembly urged the Government not to hold a conference, while others contended that one of the Council's amendments involved financial questions, and trampled on the sacred rights of the House. Finally, however, the conference was agreed to.
