RESOLUTIONS.
Rep. Bush rose to ask question of
privilege. In his argument about the
Police Department the other day, he
inadvertently mentioned the name of
SIZZLING and that he was paid $50 on
the secret and spy service; that was
nota fact. While we are not held liable
for any statements made in this
House, yet / would gladly correct my
statements concerning Sizzling be-
cause he was not the person meant by
roe; it was another gentlemen, there
fore I would withdraw my statements
for / did him an injury which would
prevent him from getting employ
ment.

Lands.

tanning seven prayers. Referred to
the Committee on Miscellaneous Petit
tions.

rules were suspended he could be per-
mitted to read bill by its title.

could be done under the suspension of
the rules, if the House was willing.

Rep. II. w. Wilcox read the follow
ing resolution:
WANT OF CONFIDENCE.
Whereas. it has become an obviou s
necessity that immediate action be taken
by Her Maiesty's Government to obtain
such relief as is possible for the country
in the present disastrous financial crisis
caused by the withdrawal of the COM
mercial advantages which formed the
considerat on in the Reciprocity Treaty
between this country and the United
States of America, and, whereas, the
present Ministry have taken no action in
the matter and have formulated no a1e-
quate foreign policy;
Whereas. the decrease in values and
general depression in all branches of
business renders it necessary to reduce
the current expenses of the Government
and to find new sources of revenue and
to provide for the more effective and
economical application of funds to public
improvements, ard,
Whereas, the Ministry has not only
failed 10 propose any measure to meet
the exigencies OF the times nor formulat-
ed any policy for the coming period; but
have unwarrantably delayed the busi-
ness of the House and have hindered the
efforts of individual members to cUrtail
the expenses OF the public service;
Whereas, in order to regain our COM
mercial prosperity and to take the best
advantage of our position and resources
to secure general prosperity, it is neces-
sary that the Ministry should consist oil
representative men who have the sup.
port of the Legislature and the confidence
Of the people, and who can by allayine
internal strife and discord, secure peace
and harmony at home and respect and
consideration abroad, now therefore,
Be it resolved, that the members o
this Legislature do hereby express their
utter want OF confidence in Her Males
ty's present Ministry.

Noble Baldwin moved that it's con.
sideration be set for one week from
Thursday, July 81.

important resolution brought up fol
its consideration, Tomorrow will

mittee on the "Cession of Pearl Har-
Dor resolution" He thought this
