TUESDAY, Sept. |, 1892.
Morning Session.

The Assembly convened at 10
o'clock for prayer. Minutes of the
previous meeting were read and APP
proved.
Noble Thurston asked the Presi-
dent if there was any communica-
ton yet received from Her Majesty.
President Walker said that none
| had been received.
Noble Thurston said that he con
sidercd that ample time had been
given Her Majesty to formulate
Cabinet and he would therefore move
the House proceed to consider the
| business on the table and such new
business as may come before them.
He did not consider that there was
any good reason existing which
would warrant longer waiting.
Noble Macfarlane was not in favor
of the suggestion to proceed with
the business of the House. A com
mittee appointed by a caucus of
members had waited upon Her
Majesty only this morning to sug-
gest Cabinet for Her approval.
This was an act in which it was en-
deavored to have Her Majesty estab-
fish precedent. 1t required serious
consideration on the part of Her
Majesty and he considered that it
would be disrespectful, to say the
least, and he was opposed to any
such action.
Rep. r.. w. Wilcox was in favor of
the motion made by Noble Thurston
that the business of the House be
proceeded with. The House has
given ample time to Her Majesty to
appoint a Cabinet She has not
called upon any of the leaders of
the House for assistance, on the con
trary, advice has been sought from
, those outside. The Queen did not
, seem willing to follow the example
set her by crowned heads abroad in
Europe and therefore he thought
that it would be unnecessary to wait
longer for the appearance of a Cabi
net.
Noble Cornwell supported the ide;
advanced by Noble Macfarlane. TIL,
y committee appointed by the caucus
of thirty-one (Which caucus had beer
held last night had only called OF
Her Majesty this morning. A cal
Y was made to make Her Majesty es
J. tablish precedent and he therefor
is considered that some time should b
allowed for consideration.
% Noble Thurston said that some G
x the members, from their remarks
II seemed to imply that he had intend
-e ed to show disrespect to Her Majest
II or assumption of tone of dis
is courtesy in the matter. He woul
IS say that there was no law or eve
custom which would prevent tn
House going on with the business
so desired, it made no differenC
whether there was a Cabinet pr,
o. sent or not. The situation had neve
before occurred because, previousl
r on the dismissal of one Cabinet, al
|. other was ready. The four Ministe
n were now in Office just as much
vo before, they were now in their van
AZ Gus offices performing the duti
nj thereof. 1t would not be disrespec
&C. full to Her Majesty if we went {
= with the business of the Hous
ho Some of the members consider tn
~ the caucus was that of the Refor
ne party solely, but he would say tn
ar such was not the case-it was a ca
nd Gus of those who wished to see
M prime pie enforced and consisted
nd members drawn from all thr
sI- parties and who were now joined
ain one party simply to carry out pr
ro- ciplc.
err Rep. Nawahi said that it looked
zen if some Of the members desired
of set sail on the ship and leave t
ice officers behind. They seemed
A. wish to go along without "A capt;
md or pilot. The sending of "A go

of The Queen was entitled to more ii

IF a being a woman was entitled to m
consideration than if of the ster
sex.
Rep, Ashford said that the an
Cor ment was not only "A petty one br
petti-coat contention and was
nee graceful one also. There was
reason to wait longer; he, on bel
of himself and his constituents
the constituents of all other m
bers, protested against the delay

House. He considered that ii
Il, beneath the dignity of the Assem-

should stop playing puppets to
strings pulled in the Palace, i
