THE COMING SESSION.
WILL NOT BE A LONG ONE. Auckland, June 3. The session of Parliament which is to open on June 27 will not be a long one, in the opinion of the Prime Minister. “I should say at this stage that it will not be long as sessions go, perhaps under four months,” remalrked Sir 1 Joseph Ward in an interview this morning. "The Government’s legislative programme now being prepared is fairly substantial, if not heavy, but it should not taJke a great time to deal with.” Sir Joseph Ward said that the Government had not dealt with the question of the appointment of a successor to the High 'Commissioner, whose term will expire at the end of July this year. So far the question had not been raised. The Pjrirne Minister declined to make any eojnunent on the question of altered sitting hours in the House of Representatives. He said that the report of the Standing Orders Revision Committee embodying recommendations would be presented to the House, which would vote upon the report. It was.a matter which the House would have to decide for itself.
