THE OBSTRUCTION CEASES. PRIME MINISTER'S PROMISE. Wellington, Thi3 Day. The House resumed at 10 o'clock. Sir Joseph Ward moved to report progress contending there was five and a half million asked for on the Estimates for which no report had been circulated.

Mr Massey said they would adjourn after reasonable work was dene, possibly early in the evening. If the obstruction ceased he would undertake to keep reasonaable hours and not attempt to pas 9 Estimates for departments reports of which were not before the House. Thia promise had the effect of stopping the obstruction and discussion on the Estimates proceeded in the ordinary way.
