been before the senate for almost
week, was passed by that body just
previous to adjournment. The entire

the amendments proposed to the bill,

The amendment was defeated by de-

Can adian Government Determined to
Overcome Obstruotion.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 9.-Parliament
sat all night and it looks as though it
would not rise until Saturday night.
Tho government has decided that the
remedial bill must be passed through
the committee Of the whole with far
greater speed than the opposition viii
consent to. All night was spent upon
subsection which places the choice
of text books for the proposed separate
schools system in the hands Of
the Roman Catholic board. The
consideration of the bill has degener-
ated into contest Of physical endur-
ance. Hour after hour is wasted by
members talking meaningless flow Of
words. The opposition profess to be
vindicating the right of the house to
proceed deliberately and to be resisting
an attempt on the part Of the govern
ment to coerce the minority Of parlia-
ment. The government, on the other
hand, say they are simply fighting or
ganized obstruction, and indicating the
right of the majority Of parliament to
have its will
