LATER. Mr Stout Speaks.
Mr Stout ha-, juif made one of the gieatest speeches ever delivered in the House. His alternate defence and attack were equally skilful and effective, and while the Government supporters weie wound up to a high pitch uf enUiubiasm, the frequent interruptions fioni the Opposition .showed that his points were telling. His statement of the financial position caused evident uneasiness, and Major Atkinson interrupted him several times in an excited manner. When he declared that the Ministry would not follow the example of their predecessors in 1879 and ask for «n adjournment to enable them to treat for votes but challenged an immediate division, he almost electrified the Hou>ie and raised the enthusiasm of the Government supporters to a point seldom seen. When he sat down there were loud cries of "divide," but Mr Gngg, of Longbeach, caught the Speaker's eye and proceeded to reply to Mr Stout in a speech most miserable by conka^t. Mr Buckland, of Waikouaiti is now (11.30) speaking against the Ministry.
