WELLINGTON NOTES.

iSjpeciai CnnMprjndent) Wellington, Dec. 2. INS AM TA3 Y CITIES. The good people of Anckhuid are resenting, very naturally and very propelv; many disinterested authorities arc saying, tlip Hoa. G W. Russell's sweeping denunciation of the sanitary ujnclitioa of their city Tiie Minister for Healtl\ however, stands to his guns and a/med -vitli report? from officers of hia Department, would -welcome the CoiuI mission ot Jirqmry tl>e Aucklanders are demanding. B;:r, if the Commission is ■■ ■■t up, its investigations will not be confined to the cortlierm city. In the House last week Mr. Russell spoke quite its drastically about the insanitary condition of Wclliii'rton as he subsequently telegraphed fclxml; tho condition of Aiir-klatid It i« doubtful, indeed, if any of the large eitie* or many of tho provincial towns can afford to throw ston-ij at other centres ir< this respect. It may be hoped the agitation will lead to a general clean t>y, , HIGH PRESSURE IN PARLIAMENT, flusines? in tiEe Hou«n r, setng carried on at high pressure sold at a speed without a parallel la the history of the Chamber It must be said for Ministers, however, that, realising this would be the efts» in order to allow the party leuflcw to get away to the Peace Conference, hi j have met members in a spirit of swe#t reasonableness throughout the pro ceedinßs. F.vec tho Labor members have accepted the inevitable with a ficod "race, and though as zealous us ever for the intarests of the section of the community they specially represent, have I done no unnecessary tilting and uccaLsioned no unprofitable delay.
