♦ A FOKECAST. (BY TELEGRAPH.— PRKSS ASSOCIATION). DUNKDIN, List Night. Thk Premier, in the course of an interview, said that the Cabinet would consider whether special opportunities should bo given to Sir John Hull for facilitating the passage of the Female Suffrage Bill. The Electoral Bill contains a proviso enabling shearers and commercial travellers to exercise their votes by means of electoral right. General election day will be proclaimed a public holiday, but it is not intended to close the public houses. School houses are to be granted without charge for public meetings. Purgation of the rolls will be provided for, but the main principle of the measure —one man one vote —will bo insisted on. The Ministry have determined that residential shall be the only future qualification. Tho Premier says he has been informed that the Council regret having passed the one man one vote, and are determined that there shall bono further progressive reforms in that direction, while ho is equally determined there shall be. Tho Libel Bill will probably be reintroduced early in the session.
