the consideration OF the appropria-
tion bill be postponed until after the
Ministry have resigned.
Mr.. Kaulukou, thought the hon.
member ought to let the matter rest,
as the resolution was defeated. l
think his remarks are made to delay
the consideration of the appropriation
bill.
Mr.. w. O. Smith said he didn't
wonder that the feeling still existed.
l think we ought to go on with the
appropriation.
Mr.. Pilipo withdrew his motion.
The appropriation bill was then
taken up.

Minister Gibson in referring to
this new item said the work of the
Foreign Office had much increased,
twenty-eight new consuls had been
added, making altogether about
eighty. 1t was beneficial to the
country to keep up wide spread
correspondence. | have been
faithful worker in this particular
department. l get up early and
spend hours before 1 arrive here, to
prepare work for the secretary to do.
The work is large and considerable.
Mr.. w. o. Smith asked the Minis
ter how it was that if Mr.. Webb is so
overworled that he had time to work
for the u. g. .4duertiser?
Minister Gibson said when he was
nominally editor of the u. @. Il.
he only gave points and for days he
did not write anything at all.
Mr.. Dole said---I believe in pay
ing man we'll who works and does
necessary duties for the state. There
is tendency to increase the months
that are sucking at the state COW
and object to it. The state can
not stand it. The Attorney General
is more eXtravagant than any of his
predecessors. What does the Minis
ter want extra help for to keep up
obscure correspondence with obscure
countries? Mr.. Webb has been able
to do the work and carry on news
paper business as well, and q daily
paper at that. 1t is another attempt
to make an office for another indivi-
dual.
On q show of hands being taken
the item was struck out.
