THE EXEMPTION DEADLOCK.
COUNCIL STANDS FIRM. LOBBY RUMORS. ily Wire.—Our Parliamentary Reporter. Wellington, Last Nigit. j The conference of managers sat for an hour and a half, and then the managers reported to their respective Houses that they had been unable to reach an agreement. They did not give any details, of course, but it is understood that both sides were firm, and that no compromise was within reach at any stage! The House decided to ask for another conference, and appointed Messrs Herries, Mac Donald, Wilford, and Sir James Allen to be managers, and the Council will appoint new managers in the morning, i Many rumors are afloat in the lobby, 'but few members believe that any serious crisis will ari a e from this dispute. It seems that 'both sides will accept ! the exemption of the clergy, but the i [Councillors will not exempt teachers and j Marist Brothers. It is possible that the ! probable outcome will ho the dropping of the Bill, which contains nothing of j material importance apart from the ex- j 'einption clause. If that occurs, the de- i ;cision in all appeals for exemption will jbe left to the Military Service Boards. I
