A caucus, of goldfields members, convened by Mr. Vincent Pyke, was held yesterday. Fourteen members were present. Mr. Tribe proposed that the Government be requested to exempt the goldfields revenue from any but departmental charges. This was carried, and it was agreed that until a reply to the proposal was received from the Government the question of a reduction of the gold duty should be left open. Mr. Woolcock carried a motion to the effect that efforts be made to reduce the special taxation of gold miners.
