Parliamentary Notes.
(By Telegraph.) [Fbom our Special Reporter.] Wellington, This day. Mr T. Taylor has received many congratulations on forcing the hand of the Premier on the question of setting up a Commission to deal with Police administration. It is generally admitted that the Cabinet was forced to act as it did, and had Mr Seddon not listened to the demands of many of his followers his Administration must have been short lived. Petitions dealing with the proposed East Coast and Gisborne-Rot<*rua railway lines were presented to the House yesterday. The Financial debate is likely to prove quite as long an affair as that on the Address-in-Reply, and it is not likely that much real work will be done this session unless the House agrees to conclude the business after the Christmas holidays. There were seven speakers yesterday on the Financial debate —namely, Messrs A. Morrison, J. Allen, A. W. Hogg, G. Hutchison, M. Gilfedder, W. C. Buchanan, and J. Hutcheson. On the motion of Mr J. W. Thomson (Clutha) the debate was adjourned. Some interesting revelations re Mr Fraser's breach of privilege are expected before the week is out.
