THE NO-LICENSE PARTY.
DEPUTATION TO HON .F. M. B. FISHER. (By Telegraph.—Frm Association.) AUCKLAND, Last Night. The deputation which waited on the Premier in reference to the demands of the No-License Party, yesterday interviewed the Hon F. M. B. Fisher. The Minister, in reply, said Cabinet would have to consider the whole matter. H© said that while lie Us?d to be in favour of toie three-fifths majority, he was now a bare-majority man, being of the opinion that some of th? desired refoinis should be carried out. He did not think there was, the remotest chance of a Licensing Bill coming down this session.. With the pressure of other important legislation, he did not see any hope whatever of a Licensing Amendment Bill hcing dealt with. Such a Bill would take an enormous time. The deputation, however, waa assured that as soon as the Government was able, the whole question; would be carefully gone into, and some decision arrival at ; but, honestly, he considered they could not do it this year. Mr French said that ihis party was determined to ge-t the three-fifths system abolished. If it waa not done in one way, it would be done in another.
