Wellington, Last night
Another afternoon is to be devoted to the work of the session, the House having agreed to-day, upon the motion of the Premier, to resume on Monday afternoon at 2.30.
The.East and West Coast Kailway Bill is still in Committee, and is Hkoly tooooupy the night. Then come several more Government policy bills before any business, except that belonging to private members, can be touched. The Government have specially stated that they will not bring up the report of the North Island Trunk Kailway. Committee until the East and West Coast Bailway Bill has gone up to suffer mutilation at the hands of the denizens of the celestial spheres. The Fublie Works Statement is also awaiting the disposal of this policy bill, which Go vernmeat seem determined to carry in the face of everything. Besides this, there is still a great quantity of business on the Order Paper, and the hopes of those who expected to draw the last instalment of their honorarium at the end of the month would not seem possible of realisation. Indeed, the opinion is now pretty freely expressed that the session will stretch far into the month of November.
