second clause Of the bill. proposing d
$35, 100000 appropriation, was precipi-
tated during last nights session, how
ever. when the government majority
moved to limit the discussion to the
clause under consideration, and not
allow members to discuss the princi-
pies Of the bill. Robert Rogers, the
member who made this motion, de-
clared that If the existing rules Of the
house did not prove to be such as to
allow the passage Of the bill, new rules
would be introduced. He announced
that it was the determination of the
government to press the bill thru par
Lament.
Frank Oliver, the member who re-
piled for the opposition, expressed sur
prise that this announcement was not
made by the premier. He declared that
IL the business of parliament had been
delayed, it was the fault Of the gov
ernment, because other business could
have been taken up at any time. In
stead, he asserted, an attempt had been
made to "bulldoze" the opposition. Mr..
Oliver then proceeded with long
speech, asserting that the proposed ap-
preparation was neither a gift nor a
loan, but pawn, to be used in the
game of politics in Great Britain and
Canada.
