ficers. The fifth regiment of Canadian
artillery formed a guard of honor ana
the band played God Save the Queen,
as the governor entered the house. 1t
rained dismally, but there was fair at
tendance of visitors.

ton the formal reading of bills assisted

senting to 70 bills passed, the clerk OF
the house said the lieutenant governor
reserved his assent to Bill No. 40, until

the legislature declaring that Chinese and
Japanese are prohibited from employ
ment on works carried on under fran

referred to the dominion to say whether
it is constitutional or not. The only 9TH
er time since confederation when this
has been done was in 1877, when the then
lieutenant governor, Richards, reserved
mis- assent to a bill giving gold commits
sioners judicial powers. The dominion
upheld this as infringing on the domin-
