Had and would encourage silk growing arid the cultivation of.mulberries, ajid were prepared to consider'any-reason-able proposals as to encouraging -tea culture. The Government;.could iiot take up the railway employees Bill, but hoped next session to , introduce' a. measure in the same direction.-' A , station of temporary character was hot .necessary at Matamare as the "line was to be completed to regular station in three months.

The. Hon Major Alkiiison'moved that Government business have precedence on the next two Wednesdays, Mpssrs Montgomery, Macaridrow, Sheehan, Sir G. Grey, and others opposed the motion, but it was carried bv 47 to 27.

On. the motion for committal "of the Native Lands Act Amondment Bill, Mr Moiis opposed the Bill and accused the Government of bungling in connection with the Rotorua lands.

Mr J. W; Thompson opposed the Bill..

Mr Sheehan strongly opposed ,|the Bill, as the North Island did not want it. It would lock up all native lands from settlement and' driye capital to the South. It the South,:which got its landsfi-bmna'tiyes for a m'ero nothing, to foreoirtuflli a Bill on the North. There were only two-fair courses open either for ,thu Government to resume buying or for friio .tradb in native lands, simply insisting-on..sufficient reserves.': The Bill would only drive respectable piirchasers out of the field, and others would risk its penalties. ■ ,■••■• Mr Fisu considered the Bill an honest attempt at honest legislation and would support it thoroughly. ' ,- Mr Smith opposed the Bill.flt would cause great hardships and -ruin hundreds. Many natives would. not put tlieir land through the court, and it must therefore lie idle. All leases of such lands for timber cutting purposes would bo rendered invalid, and the sawmills in Hawke's Bay be nearly all shut up. Europeans wore now actually rated for lands; tlie occupation of which this Bill would render illegal. .. Mr Taiaroa opposed and Mr Tawhai supported the Bill. Mr Ivms supported it, and Mesirs Macahdrew, Turnbull and Joyce spoke against, and Messrs Te Wheoro and Hobbs in support of it the measure.

Mr Stevens moved' it be committed that day six months. This was rejected on division of 52 to 8, and Mr Bryce haviug replied, promising to bring down several now clauses on Thursday.

The House went into committee on the Bill. In Committee Clause 6 was struck out in order that a new clause might hereafter beputini Clause I r *m amended by adding a proviso de&wigthe terra Native Lands. The remaning clauses were passed' with' slim verbal amendments, and after a fyi&k I discussion -the Bill was :'*eported ; iyf i ordered to be. re-committed on.
