who has been arrested in London on request of the Albany authorities, 3 wanted on two charges, grand larceny, t25,000 FROM Second degree, and forgery, third degree.He was employed as a clerk in the city Hreasurers office, and is charged with ving failed to turn in to the city trea- Sury money entrusted to him to be paid a taxes, and make false entries en the.\u201cty books, He was released on bail, and failed to appear in court on Feb.21 ast, the time set for his examination.He Vas traced'to Montreal.thence to Liver- Pool, and finally to London, where, it Fas reported, he was staying with rele- x | way back Editor of the \u2018Ruski Viedomosti\u2019 | Russian \"Viedomosti,\u201d wee assees- | lying dead with the side Ë but in a case like the present, when funds are needed elsewhere\u2014in, it might be said, a more legitimate channel of trade\u2014even the highest grade of securities, not excluding British consols, must rforce decline for the time being, at feast .; The forty million dollars tied up in transportation will be quickly release when navigation opens, and will be available for general purposes; consequently, bankersare relying on this, and look hopefully forward to a great change for the better in the immediate future.Another gentleman who is in close touch with financial Canada, is of the opinion that the local monetary stringency hag been due largely to the heavy amount of money sent by traders to New York to meet their margins.Then, again, the long and gevere winter has caused u general and contin:ous blockade on all lines of transportation throughout the country, and, as a consequence, manufacturers and producers were unable to deliver their goods and obtain payment.There is plenty of money, he said, for local requirements, and ag business has been so prosperous, merchants naturally found themselves in need of more money than wual.Railway facilities, he claimed, are inadequate rapidly to handle western trade, which must reflect to a large degree on the money market, and it ig therefore a recognized fact that money, urgently needed, is for the time being locked up through want of greater transportation facilities.Stocks have got down to what might be termed an investment basis, and when the situation has been carefully looked into it will be realized that the general public has not suffered as much as the rich man.It is now the duty of merchants and others to be careful and not attempt to expand their business without the very greatest care ing taken.tives.Officers from Albany comnby will: be sent at once to London to bring Lare- A COOL RECEPTION Montreal Aldermen.Displeased teh from Philadelphia\u2019 states A despa v that the delegation of the City Council composed of Mayor Kkers, Aldermen Yates -and \u2018Sadler and niembers of the Level Crossing Committee, were received with such indifference on the part of the aldermen of Philadelphia on Monday after noon, that the visitors took offence, and only three out of the twenty who made up the delegation, accepted the invitation of Mayar Weaver to dinner.in the evening, at the Union League Club.The others, says \u2018the despatch, pre- erred to show their displeasure at their cool reception, by staying away.5 news was read with considerable surprise at the City Hall to-day, and the general opinion \u2018of aldermen who have been-seen, is that either the report d not represent tbe facts in.their full significance, or else the majority of| the delegation have shown themselves top ready to take offence.It is acknow-1 ledged that United States cities are very.liberal in their courtesies to visitors re- presénting the administrative powers of Canadian cities, and if there was any lack of cordiality in the welcome towards the Montreal delegation on Monday, it must have arisen through a misunderstanding.as to the actual time of their arrival.Mr.Bauset assistant sity clerk, who has accompanied delegation as secretary, was in communication with Mayor Weaver last week and on Saturday a letter was received from His Worship, stating that if Mayor Ekers and his colleagues would be good emough to call at the Mayor's Parlor at the City Hall when they ar rived in the city, he would be very pleased to welcome them.Several members of the delegation are on their way home to-day, and their explanation of thie \u2018Philadelphia misunderstanding\u2019 is being awaited nt the City Hall with interest.The delegation went to Philadephia ss the guests of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, in order to study the ayatem that hae been adopted in that city n° the elevation of the rai'way tracks.The.subways and elevated tracks of the Rcad- ing Railway were inspected, and the aldermen expressed their pleasure at what they saw.Mayor Ekers said he would return to \u2018Montreal with a knowledge gained which he thousit would 5e very valuable in solving the problem now facing Montreal in the matter of clevat- ta ing the Grand Trunk Railway tracts.The Level Cross'ngs Committee is composed as follows.\u2014Ald.Sadler, chairman?N.Lapointe, J.B.A.Martin, Bumbray, Lariviere,-Nault,- Parner, Stearws.Guay, Labrecque, Laviolette and O'Connell.AM.Lariviere ws unable.to: accompany\u201d the delegation.\u2019 \u2014 =» un PR 7 ii en Ya = KING OF STAM TRAVELS.Bangkok, \u201cSia, Marth 27.\u2014The King of Siam, Chulalongkorn E, started today\u201d on his\" European: rip.The : Crown a;

grand, magnificent endorsement which the goveru- ment hag received on this question.\u2019 So said Prerhier Whitney in the Legislature thin afternoon in defendipg the course of the government in refusing to permit Sunday cars to run at Port Ar- thar.: Dr.lie, _the : Conservative mem- ber- for Fort Willinp, made hig Pro- \u2018miged: firotest when \u201cthe bill was in com- mitfee.\u2018 \u2018He pointed out that Sunday carg were nocessary in order to enable people to get to church.Then Mr.Whitney replied that whatever their personal opinions might be, he was convinced the large majority of the pedple of Ontario were in favor of Sunday observance.: * We did what we believed to be our duty,\u2019 he declared.\u2018In no act since the government came into power have we been made aware \u2018go promptly and emphatically of the endorsation of the people.\u2019 + He had received two hundred letters nd, telegrams from clergymen and lay- Pe all over the province, some of them

child shall be.entitled to send it tp_the public or separate school in the district in which the child resides, whe the boardg of trustees establish continuation classes, or unite with other boards for such purpose they may levy according to the equalized assessment of each municipality.The township eouncil shall pay to the trustees their actual dis bursements for maintenance and transportation of their pupils, and shall re- | ceive guch legislative and county grants ag may be determined.The act also provides that outlay may be made to cover dental and medical inspection and to maintaip free evening lectures for the citizens at large.The trustees may permit the schoolhouse to be used for any educational purpose.Urban boards may epend such sums as they see fit on enco ing gymnastics and athletic exercices, not to exceed $200, where the annual registered attendance does not exceed 3,000, and $50 additional for each additional thousand.Another section - provides that the county is fo levy an amount equal to the amount.of the legislative grant.Where a8 township in an organized county hag an equalized assessment of $30,000 for each public school section the township is to raise $300 for each teacher or principal teacher, and an additional sum of $200 for each assistant teacher.In townships in the territorial districts the amount is $150 for each teacher, and $100 for each assistant.e Sums #0 levied must be applied to teachers\u2019 gal- aries only.Another bill, also introduced by the Minister of Education, respecting the qualification of certain teachers, provides that on proof of satisfactory fitness the Minister of Education may grant a Pe manent professional certificate, valid in Roman Catholic schools, to persons who belong to religious and educational communities, who, prior to July 1, 1907.have had seven years\u2019 experience, five of them having been in Ontario; provided also that the competence of the teacher shall have becn attested by an

also apply to public schools in which the French, Eng- ish or German language is taught.The recent change in the copnty council system, by which reaves and deputy reeves of townships compose the county council, necessitated a bill respecting good roads, introduced by the.Hon.Dr.Reaume.It provides that the consent of the county council is sufficient to put the scheme in operation without the

there is no vse in denying it.\u2018There have been ru- mory in this Houge that he was shamming disease and that he was not really sick.I believe that idea hss been.dispelled, and that it is no longer entertained by anybedy.I believe that.everybody now knows that when Mr.Hyman left the House he was in very bad health and was a very sick man indeed.But that was not the only rumor.The atmosphere was thick with rumors, and last fall, abott-Séptemibér or October, a certain rumof,candé\u201dto me.ind I spoke to a mutual ffiend,-wha iy now:in this House, and Fears my \u201d and I said to him: \u2018I have been a friend of Hyman for many years; you are still more a \u2014 for \u201c| why does he mention it at all ?friend than I am.I have heard this, and you have heard it also; go to him and tell him he must let me know what truth there is in this.\u201d That rumor was in connection with a certain person.My honorable friend went to Mr.Hyman and Mr.Hyman sent me word that there J have to take the House and country into my confidence; I wish it were otherwise.This statement made by the Minister of Public Works at that time, has since been corrobora by à telegram which was read in the committee some few weeks ago and which was sent by Mr.Hyman to his friend Mr.Duffield.It said: \u2018Any.statement or insinuation .that my resignation, ejther us member or minister, was prompted .by other motives than those contained in my letter to Sir Wilfrid Laurier is absolutely untrue.\u201d .\u201cWhen,\u201d continued Sir Wilfrid, \u2018I had Mr.Hyman\u2019s.own word about the matter, then when he offered me his resignation.for reasons with which the House is familiar, I concluded that I would not accept his resignation, and therefore, knowing what I believe is the truth, there was no reason whatever why 1 should consent to.a saw-off with the member for King's.A \u2018Mr.Fowler told us that if he was attacked he would do this and he would do that.That is his own concern, and at the present moment I have nothing to say fo it, rumors also, gnd if I understood my honorable friend .wants us to investigate these rumors.Naw, it is not a very pleasant thing on the floor of parliament to have to comment on any such statements as we have heard this afternoon.But this, af- ternoôn the hon.gentleman (Mr.Bourassa), speaking of my duty to the House, ing of my , me that was bound to take cognizance of certain rumors that were going about the streets.He told us among other things that ministers of the have -gone \u2018into, hi ill repete; dnd then \"that \u201cally one that knows that \u2018shou Wom! to that effect: Then the \u2018honorable gentleman said: \u201cIf T had the proof I would bring it forward.\u201d These are the very words he made use of.\u2018If I had the proof I would- make use of it\u201d All I have to say to my bon.friend is, if he hag not the proof, rumors which had been floating in the air at last fell into the gutter, and the hon.gentleman gropes in the gutter and brings those rumors into the House.Is it to investigate: things of that kind tee to be appointed ?.The House of Commons can investigate charges of corruption in a public man, but I never knew that the House of Commong either in England or in this country made itaelf \u2018a police court to investigate charges of this character.The hon.gentleman, however, has taken it upon himself to bring this matter to the attention of the House, and teaching me my duty, he has given me the example of Mr.Gladstone in dealing with the case of, Sir Charles Dilke, and in the case of Mr.Charles Parnell.lt is true, that on-a certain occasion Mr.Gladstone advised the friends of Par nell to compel* him to withdraw from parliamentary life; but when was this ?It waa at a time when his offences were no lopger a private affair but had become public scandal.It was when the offences of Parnell were the subject of a judgment of a court.Well, sir, was not a word of truth in the rumor.\u2018But that is not all.There are other\u2019 from Labelle aright he! speaking of my duty to the public, speak- ! duty \u2018to the government, told | ter oe me | | t \u2018note .of his words at thé\u2019 time\u2014 togk mote -of rors at! he mea, Mr.Bourasse.says: come forward with the proof, or words\u2019 The | that my hon.friend asks for \u2018a commit - against a friend or a colleague, of mine, it would be my duty to do as Mr, Gind- stone did;

but I'did not know that 1 am called upon to act .upon sumors and upon the tittle-tattlg of the street.I am bound only to act upon facts and when these facts are brought \u2018to my knowledge, I think I shall have \u2018| the \u2018courage to do my duty kK fo my friends, my colleagues, my party, and if I may gay so, to my country.It is unprecedented to have a motion such as we have had to-day brought-to the attention of the House.i the\u2019Mémber for Labelle or anyone else 'hès Charges to make against myself or against my colleagues he is welcome to make.them.But let him do it in a parliamentary manner, let him formulate his charges, and an investigation will take place am- mediately.Let him substantiate any thing he has in his mind and that .he.thinks ought to be investigated, and 19- | morrow the investigation will be granted, even if the session should have: te last three: moaths longer.ed \u2018But, sir, I protest, in the: name.of arliamentary life, in the name.o#-ar- jamentary ignity, against the- speech that was made this afternoon By thé honorable member for Labeile.Public life has its duties and, its respousibili-.ties, and it probably has more to suffer.| one thing which we should, on \u2018one side of the House or the other, alwags er deavor to maintain, that is to say;-that in our daily conflicts we should: \u2018fight.\u2018fair and square and never strike below: the belt.STILT MR.R.'L.BORDEN.| The leader of the Opposition \u2018ed ed the Prime: Minister for nok Hipking his a and announcement immédiate\" ly after Mr.Bourasea\u2019s speech;

Members.\u201cAS NO DIRECT CHARGES HAVE BEEN MADE SIR WILFRID » HOLDS THAT.THE HOUSE CANNOT INVESTIGATE.: \u201cMERE STREET GOSSIP., :: Ottawa, March 26 \u2014The charges and Jmsinuations reflectipg upon the credit of \"members of parliament which have been bandied to and fro across the floor of the \u2018House this session were gathered yesterday into à motion by Mr.Henri Bou- raséa, \u2018of Labelle, upon which he sought in vain the appointment of e special F.ittee of inquiry.No direct charges ving been preferred against any one, Ahe Prime Minister gave it as his judg- \u201cment that there would be no precedent in perlismentary history for the imvesti- .gation of mere rumors and street gossip, »nd in this view the Liberal side of the Mouse concprred.The vote against the member fo¢ Labelle stood 109 to 56.« Mr.Bouraesa had with him in his mo- 4 sion for investigation the whole force of the Opposition, as well as Messrs, Le |! vergne, of Montmagny, \u2018and Robitaille, of Quebec county, Independents.Mesers.| «Foster and Fowler, whose\u2018 names both figured prominently \u2018in the debate, rè- trained on that account from voting.° The form ix which Mr.Bourassa\u2019s reso lution.was proposed as an amendment to the government\u2019s motion for committee of supply, left no apportarity for amend- | ment.The House had no: option but to vote for or against.- The member for Labelle, in submitting hie proposal to the House, fully upheld the reputation Te liad already gained as one of the most alert and best all-round debaters in par- Jiament.LT + .Mr.Bourassa made no charges himself, but drew his own deductions from the report of the Insurance Commission in regard to the land transactions in which \u2018Mezars.Foster, Fowler, Bennett and Le- furgey, Conservative M.P.s, had been engaged.\u2018Mr.Bourassa.gave voice also to a great deal of current gossip anent Abe telk of the parliamentary corridors a large attendance of mem Q ».ever since the threats made by Mr.Fow- lér im February last.of the exposures that he was prepared to make.The Prithe Minister, in defending the honor of Lis government, and in defend- \u2018ing the honor of parliament, wept into \u201cpersonal matters as the only means of \u2018sething at rest some.of the slander that \u2018has been in circulations The distin- \u201cguished leader of the.government has \u201cscarcely been.in as good.form this ses- \u2018sion.The manner in which Mr.Bouressa\u2019s | be finally cleared motion was \u2018disposed.of means that the \u201clast has been:heard of- Mr.Fowlers threatened exposures \u201cof the conmeotion \u2018df ministers \u2018and members on the Liberal \u201cside of the chamber with women, wine \u2018and graft .That gentleman, not having, \u201cbeen himself attacked, evidently did mot fegard himself as under the necessity of lÂclivering himself - of: -the reprisals he \"had promised, « oc \u20ac Ce A Vix.i Bgurasea rope this, ee BT jhe ave \u201cof the \u2018House.to matters involving the dignity {end homor of parliament, Je spoke tn sides and to crowded \u2018galleries.No \u201cother incident of the present session has \u2018attracted anything like the same attention.The leaders of both sides occupied their accustomed places and an air \u201cof expectancy pervaded the whole cham- \u2018ber.When Mr.Fielding: interposed with the interim supply bill to provide jfor.the immediate needs of-the public service, it was almost with resentment \u2018that the House consented to this post- \u201cponement of its enjoyment.| \"+ Mr.Bourassa\u2019s rising to his feet was the signal for applause om the part of his one follower, .Armand Lavergne, at\u2019 which even the member for Labelle, himself, could not restrain a smile.The House laughed too.-Mr.Bourassa at the outset asserted that in the course be had seen fit to take in this matter, he was but discharging a public duty, and \u201cgiving voice.to \u2018the elamor -of public Opinion as at present expressed.Right- or wrongly, the public -opinion of - had côñcluded that beth political parties in parliament were anxious to hurry om the prorogation so as to avoid the necessity of an inquiry into the charges of one another\u2019s misdoings.i\" The Prime Minister and the leader of the Opposition had already declared in the House that this session could not .close without clearing up the insinuations: that had been made.: The Hon.G.W.Fowler, Conservative member for.King\u2019s, N.B., bad \u2018threatened an exposure o the connections of Min- \u2018isters and members of the Liberal party \u2018with women, wine and \u201cgraft, but in «making threats he had seemed to propose to the Premier, a bargain that if Le was not himself attacked, be would \u2018hoïd his-peace in\u201d regard thereto.e -reply of the Prime Minister upon th subject had seemed to show that Sir Wilfrid accepted this bargain.His (Mr.Bourassa\u2019s) proposal was that a com- \u2018mittee should be appointed to clean up the House and find out who honest men were: the | + \u2019 .+ .in the integrity of their public\u2019 institutions and their public men.The public press of the country was filled with comment that proved the truth of what he (Mr.Bourassa) now said and it was impossible that the present session should close before the accusers- made good their accusations or been compelled to withdraw the insinuations that had been made.If Mr.Foster was not to have am opportunity of clearing himself in these matters, what confidence could the people of Canada be expected to have in the justice of the Dominion parliament, what faith would they have in the men entrusted with the conduct of \u2018heir public affairs.It would \u2018be said that Cox and Foster had parried off and that the arrangement was accepted by the Prime Minister.Mr.Bourassa referred to an article in the \u2018Daily Witness\u2019 of March 12 upon the Foster-Fowler-Bennett-Lefurgey matter, | MR.HENRI BOURASSA, M.P.: URABEA, M.P.which drew from the ex-Fipance Minister a reply that as he understood the gravamen of the \u2018Witness\u2019 statement it was that he, standing in one place, was on the ore hand paying a dollar more for lande than he could have purchased them for, standing in another place, and from the same parties.\u2018There is abso- Tutely,\u201d contimued Mr.Foster, \u2018not a modieum of truth in that statement.1 was buying other lands at that time, and whereas I paid the Pope-Fowler-Bennett syndieate $4.25 in cash tgoether with 25 cents in stock, $4.50 in all, T was paying at the very same time between $4.90 and $5.25 for lands not a bit better : - Mr.Bourassa readily replied that this statement only added emphasis to the elaim he had already made.It was most desirable that.such matters \u2018éhould and dieposed.of.Last year Mr.Foster had called to the bar of parkament a young man who had accused him of saying things discreditable to the French-Canadians and the Catholics.But for six months past the whole ministerial press of the\u2019 bad been charging Mr.Foster with being untrue to hie trust, with being a dishonest man, with being.unworthy of a seat in this parliament; and yet Mr.Foster had taken no steps against these journals.The finding of the Commission was that Mr.Foster became.a member of a syndicate of four men.who received money from the Union Trust Company, of which he was himself manager, to buy lands for themselves and (2) t during that transaction Mr, Foster not only took money of the Trust Company and gave it to the syndicate of ich he was a member, twice received commissions through the traneaction \u2018for himself, The charge was -tliat Mr.Foster mis used funds of which he was trustee, and yet it seemed that Sir Wilfrid Laurier was ready to shelter his own friends; was ready to allow these accusations to pass in slence.At Mr.Foster's request, Mr.Bourassa \u2018repeated what he regarded as the conclusion of the ission on these mat- tere, which drew from the ex-Finance Minister that the statement made by Mr.Bourassa was a misrepresentation of facts, whether it was a truthful echo of je Tñsurance Commiseion\u2019s finding or not.The member for Labelle replied that this was in itself the very best reason why Mr.Foster should have an opportunity of making these things clear.Could such grave statements as this report embraced pass unheeded?Were such words to remain on the.publie records of the country without reply?Taking up the report of the Insurance Cominission and turning to the observa- \u2018tions regarding the affairs of the Canada \"Life, Mr.Bourassa stated that the control of that company had passed largely into the hands of Senator Cox.In plain terms that gentleman had used the money of the Canada Life to engage in stock gambling in companies in which he himself was interested.\u2019 n Mr.W.¥.Maclean .(Toronto)\u2014Hear, ear.; Money of the Léfe Insurance Company had been diverted from its natural channels and turned to the purdhase of stocks in which he was himself interested to the extent of millions of dollars, - The evidence besides seemed to show that Senator Cox helped his son-in-law make false entriés in to prevent the disçio- leure that trust funds were being lent on [securities that had been questioned by the Insurance Department.\u2018And yet,\u2019 added.Mr.Bourassa, \u2018the ie people, in short, were losing faith >.Prime Minister finds no finding against \u2018anybodÿ in- the :repert of the Insurance Commission.\u2019 .From this the member for

Hon.George £ Foster, its m or, the land transactions in which the trust funds were employed, and the commissions Mr.Foster received.purning to the land transactions in which Messrs.Fowler, M.P., Bennett, M.P., Lefurgey, M.P., and Foster, M.P,, Were interested, and which were.subject- 1 to inquiry by the Insurance Com Mission, i, Bourassa observed that it was not his duty to make c against these men, but the press of the country had branded them as unworthy to occu- Py seats in parliament.Mr.Fowler's charges were general, but on that very account they were all the more damaging in their character.Was it right that suspicion in a matter of this sory should be allowed to rest also upon\u2019 the two honorable ministers who occupied seats before him.The Hon.Mr.Fielding and the Hon, Mr.Fisher.He thought not.At this sally the House | laughed again and the two pure-minded men who had won \u2018this unexpected tribute at Mr.Bourasse\u2019s hands blushed from very modesty.: : Was no party question.Parliament had shouldered the responsibility of searching the insurance question to the bottom and it was impossible.for the House to ss judgment on Mr.Foster.without affording him the fullest opportunity of reply.Senator Cox, too, before the Senate, should be given a like opportunity before the Upper House.Messrs.Bennett and Leturgey had ready .laimed their - willingness .that.the fullest inquiry should be made into the transactions in which they were It might be asked perhaps why \u2018did not he (Mr.Bourassa) make formal phares himself, so that the inquiry can be held.But he did not propose to make himself the scapegoat in this matter, well knowing that unless the government wants an inquiry it is well able to burk sny investigation that may be roposed.The whole machinery the ustice Department should be placed at the disposal of this inqitiry.* = umors,\u201d said \"the member for\u2019 \u2018Lar belle, \u2018are going all over the: city.of Ot tawa and insinuations are

admitted that no losses had been made under Mr.Foster's management, but held that that didn\u2019t matter, because if there had been a loss ft: would not have fallen on Mr.Foster.Mr.Carvell denied : that he bad made any charges against .Bennett, \u2018th member for Simèce.As to Mr.Bout- 2833'8 r tion, he would vote against it, as he did not believe that parliament- had any right to inquire into the private | lives of members.- SIR WILFRID .LAURIER.TL The Prime Minister, on rising to address the House, was greeted with the applause of his following.Sir Wilfrid \u2018Laurier said: \u2018Mr.Speaker, the motion which has been placed in your hands by Mr.Bourassa is the most extraordinary which in the couree of a long parkamen- tary life I have ever seen.The hon.gentleman has chosen to bring this motion in the shape of an amendment to go into committee of supply.It was open to him to submit his motion as & of gubstantive one, which could have been met\u2019 upon its merite and in all its ae tts.He is aware that by the method which he has adopted discussion is cir- oumecribed, and there is not free scope to amend or present the different as pects.According to the rules of the House the motion hae to be takes in its entirety, voted up or voted dowm, and it is not susceptible of any amendment.If there be in that motion truth and falsehood, the truth has to be rejected with the falsehood, or the falsehood has to be-accepted with the truth.If there is in it that which is proper or improper the same rule will apply.Therefore, it is, to say the least, an extraordinary proceeding on the part of the hon: gentleman, at the outset, professing to be so I { | SIR WILFRID LAURIER.anxious to have a fair enquiry into ths | matter, to limit the scope of the discus elon as he has done, \u2018The hon.gentleman has tald us something about his motive.His*desire = to clear the atmosphere in which we live, to ascertain where are the honest men and where are the dishonest men.I can only say to Mr.Bourassa that every man in this House is an honest man (cheers); that every man in this House bas a right to walk with his head erect, and every man in this House has a rig.to his character until that character has been taken away from him, not by insinuations, not by the tittle-tattle of the street, but upon a charge made by some one who has the courage to make: such a charge.(Renewed cheers.) \u2018It wil not do to say that there are rumors.Of course there are, and there British parliament and under British institutions have rumors been a matter of investigation.If there are rumors against me or against any of my colleagues it \u2018is open to any man to take up these rumors and to bring them forward in the shape of a charge which 1 can meet, to which I can oppose my denial or in regard to which I can offer my explanation.\u2019 \u2018But, eir, it.is absolutely unprecedented in any British parliament that the House of Commons bas ever investigated or has ordered one of ite committees to investigate rumors.The Houge of Commons has never, either in this country or the Mother Country, orgiered an = vestigation except upon a charge, the man against whom it is levelled can face and to which he can give an answer.That is the position, however, which my fron.friend has taken.Let me call his attention, because 1 believe he has writ: ten this im a hurry, to the conclusion of his motion.\u2019 ; The Premier quoted this and con- tinged: .\u2018Against whom is this levelled?It levelied against the 214 men of the to bring before this committee and to I make a charge against any member Of fthe House, against the hon.member for Labelle himself.He, strong in his for titude and in his rectitude, ay say that he woud not object, but I do object that the privileges of the members should not be invaded unless there is cause for the invasion.1 do object that the rules and regulations as ginded .carried on should be discarded.Let ue appoint a committee to investigate, and who will be the accuser?Anybody may be the accuser and nobody may be the.accuser.Let this committee be granted and what shall be the evidence.Anything may be the evidence and nothing may be the evidence.There is nothing substantial.But this committee would be à committee of enquiry at random, to be disposed of nobody knows how, to be guided nobody knows by.whom, and to come to a conclusion that nobody can \u2018The honorable gentleman tells us that he would not take the responsibility of conducting the investigation.He.tells goat in this matter, but he says that it is the duty of the Prime Minister to take that responsibility.It is the duty of the Prime Minister, certainly, to see that every charge which is brought against a member is investigated and if my honorable friend from Labelle will bring such an accusation against anybody, he would have the fullest opportunity to make it good.\u2018I protest against the idea that the House of Commons should be turned into an inquisition.The House is the guardian of its own honor and it is its duty to see that cvery member shall have fair play and justice.My honorable friend has stated that there is a saw off between the two sides of this House.Although I refer to this again, I would have supposed that there would not have been any necessity to do so : in the face of the denial twice repeated by the leader of the Opposition, that there has been no saw-off.I would have expected that after those denials, the member for Labelle would not have undertaken to-day, as he has done before, to assert that there was a saw-off.Mr.Bourassa.\u2014 What stated to-day Prime Minister.J did not say that there had been a saw-off between both parties.\u201d : Sir.Wilfrid Laurier.\u2014Tf that be the distinction, all I can say to the member for Labelle is, and I think it will be corroborated by the member for King\u2019s, N.B., that he and T have not exchanged a word during the present session.I \u2018met him once or twice to say good-dny and that is all.\u2018There has never been any\u2019 communication \u2018between myself.and the member for King\u2019s, For.what reason should I choose to have a saw-off in the matter.Because it has pleased the member from Labelle to level some msinuations against certain collea; of mine.I shall come to that prvently, and I shall tell him that I Hage wd reason to fear any investigation and that there is no occasion for my resorting to any saw-off.The honorable mem: ber said more.He accused me of having had a saw-off with the member for King\u2019s, \u2018but he went a little further.I took a note of his words at the time, and he said that I bad taken the Opposition under my maternal] care.\u2018Well, sir, had been accused of taking the Opposition under my paternal\u2019 care that would have been bad enough, but to be accused of taking them under my maternal care is a good deal more than I can appreciate.The Opposition does not need any care from me.The Opposition is able to take care of itself.But I have this to say of my honorable friend, that in the position which I occupy, entrusted as am under our parliamentary system of \u201cgovernment with grave and impertant duties and having the responsibilities of being leader of the House, I owe justice, and I owe fair play every member of the House, 1% have had to give a good deal of thought to the different aspects of this question.My.honorable friend has brought it to the attention of the House three times and though 7 am a pretty busy man, otherwise, I have had to give a good deal of attention to the discussions we have had upon the subject.vestigation as the result of certain words spoken by the member for King's on February 21.I had to see what was to be done and what was my duty under such circumstances, and when the question first arose, I stated in the House that we should wait until we had the report of the Insurance Commission.When we did get that report, I stated then that we should have a discussion upon it before the session closed.than I am, since he has been able to read the whole of the evidence and the report of the commission, I have not read the evidence.I have glanced through the report from beginning to end.I afterwards took it up to read it when I had more leisure so as to form my own conclusion, and if I am to state my own mind at the present moment I must declare that I am not prepared to say what the conclusion I have come to is, and what action should be Laken by the government on this report.- F had hoped that long ere this, , we would have been able to have had *he discussion, but we have not been idle in_this House in the meantime, and I still hope that we may have a discussion ue House of Commons; it is open to anybody !
