LOBBY INCIDENT.
MORE TALK THAN BLOWS. WELLINGTON, July 29. A Labour member and a ■ Government supporter who have had verbal differences of opinion in the House became the subjects of excited gossip during the dinner adjournment to-day. The argument, it seemed, had been continued in the lobby and a demand from the Labourite forVai apology is alleged to have been greeted with blows, but peacemakers were handy. The blows, if they could be called such, were hardly more than rough pushes, and friendliness afterwards prevailed in the most obvious way. ■ At dinner, however, stories ot _ a "fio-ht iu the lobbv" continued to circulate, though the principal parties were happily unconscious of the stir they had created. # One has to go far back into JNewZealand Parliamentary history to dig up the story of a real bout of fisticuffs between legislators.
