BILL IS KILLED
AMID SCREAMS OF LAUGHTER (From Our Resident Reporter.) WELLINGTON, To-day. The Licensing Bill is dead. All conferences which were held between both Houses during Saturday were to no purpose, and Mr. E. P. Lee reported to the House this morning that no agreement had been reached on any of the points referred to the conference. Mr. J. McCombs, one of the leaders of the prohibition movement in the House and a strong advocate of the Bill as passed by the Lower House, evidently feels sore at the Council rejecting the proposals of the House of Representatives, aud on the last morning of the session he moved, amid screams of laughter from all sides, to introduce a Legislative Council Abolition Bill. The Bill automatically drops into the void of legislative failures.
