POLITICS IN N.S.W

Sydney, This Day. In tlie Legislative Assembly Mr Canii stated that lie proposed asking for leave to introduce a special Bill authorising the raising of a loan of £-3,000,000, in London, for railway duplication and other works.

Mr Wade strongly attacked the Government, principally upon its financial administration whereto he attributed the present high cost of living. Itegarding vaccination, he condemned the proposal to vaccinate infants only - who could not hit back. In view of the hold that smallpox had gained in' the city and suburbs, the obvious course was to make vaccination universal. The Government's proposal was an exhibition of want of courage in dealing with an urgent matter. He concluded his speech by moving a direct want of confidence motion. The debate by the House stands adjourned until this afternoon.

Mr Holman) has given notice of motion rescinding the authorisation of the printing of the document tabled by ex-Speaker Willis attacking the Lieuten-ant-Governor, also that the document be expunged from the Records of the House.
