LICENSING BILL
THE PRESENT PROSPECTS. -By Telegraph.—Special to Guaboun). WELLINGTON, Nov. 26. The fate of the Licensing Bill seems as uncertain as it was a week ago The Prime Minister has given ample time for the special committee of three each of the contending parties to come to some arrangement. Many meetings have been held, but the negotiations have not removed the deadlock. It is suggested in view of this, the Rill may bo dropped. The indications, however, are that this is unlikely as it is well known that the majority of the members of the House are very determined that the measure shall be passed.
It is now pertain that a small majority in the Legislative Council will insist on a reasonable majority-, and as the bare majority party in the House will not agree to this, it may result in the Bill being killed for this session, with the certainty, that the fight will be renewed with increased vigour early next year.
