Loch IEGISIAIURE.

(Continued From the First Pagell

question was aserious question and there are serious matters pending on the resignation. The resignation of Mr. \Visc had been in either the hands of the Speaker of the House or In tli_e hands of the Leader, in violation of the laws of this country.

Hon. Jas. R. McLean then arose and

took Mr. Campbell to task for usurping the privileges of the. House.

Mr. Speaker said that in reply to Mr.

Campbell he wished to say that he had only asked if there was a. precedent.

Mr. Campbell said that he did not

intend to allow any man to 'assume the role of Kruger and dictate his procedure on the Iioor of the House._ _ Hon. Mr. Farquharson called the Speaker-‘s attention to the discourtesy of a number of the members of the Opposi- tion. If they would turn up the Journals they would find that the present action of the House is in order.

Mr. Campbell said that he had been on

the floor of the House for 27 years and never, in all that time had he seeua similar piece of unparliamentary proceed- ure. The Leader of the Government might assume the role of Kruger and do business in the dark and behind the scenes. When the House was refused such information as was asked at this hour there was something wrong.

Mr. Shaw, said that he hadreacl the

Patriot, the organ of the Liberal party, and in it he read the announcement that Mr. \Vise had lplaced his resignation in the hands of the Speaker. Hon. Mr. Gordon had iiiqiiired the date of Mr. Wise’s resignation. If it is dated as it is said to be dated the Government of this country is guilty of negligence. If the Speaker of the House get the resignation he neglected to notify the Lieut. Gover- nor and consequently neglected his duty.

Mr. Peters then rose to speak but the

heat of the argument. between the Speaker and Mr. Shaw was so great that he failed to get ii proper hearing.

The Speaker tlien,'_saicl the returns of

bye-elections would be laid before the House. _

Hon. Mr. Farquharsc-n then submitted

the returns of the bye-elections held in

Mr. A. A. McLean was theh ` introduced

to the House by P on. D. Gordon and Mr. Cyrus Shaw. -

Mr. A. P. Prowse was introduced to the

House by Hon D. Gordon and Mr. M. McKinnon. `

Mr.Shaw 'asked for the writ and

returns of the election for the 1st district of Prince County. _ Mr. Campbell claimed that if Mr. Pineau was in the city he should take his seat.

Hon. Mr. Farquharson said that as Mr.

Pineau was not in the city it was not nec- essary to submit the writ and returns. It would be time enoi; gh when he appeared to claim the seat. »- `

Mr. Shaw-How does the Leader of the

Government know that Mr. Pineau is not

é- Mr. Shaw then moved that the 'writ

_l-- _

I. the decision ofthe Speaker' be sustained?"

The following' members voted to sustain

the Speakers decision: Farquharson, Mc- Millan, McLean, (J. 'R. ,l Richards, Sinclair McLauchlin, Mc.\'utt, Rogers. Prowse, (L. E.), Peters, (A.), Forbes, McWilliams, Reid'-13.

The following members voted against the Speaker-’s decision: Gordon, McDon- ald, (A. J.), McDonald, (J. E2), McDonald, (J. A.), Arsenault, McKinnon, Birch, Kickham, Deslioches, McLean, (A. .-1.), Campbell, Prowse, (\V-. H.)-13.

Mr. Shaw-Mr. Speaker, I draw your

attention to the tact that Mr. Wise is votinlt and I deny the Clerk the right to omit his name. The journals of the House do not contain Mr. Wise’s resignation and he is still a. member.

Mr. McLean claimed that u.ccordin`g to the statute Mr. \Vise was still a represen- tative ofthe people. No entiy had been made, and they as representatives, want to know why his vote is Iiot recognized. Mr. Peters called the Speakers attention

to t-he fact that there were 13 member’s on the floor at once and said that the resig- nation would be put on the journals to- morrow. ‘ _ Mr. Shaw-It cannot be put upon the Journals tomorrow. Is Mr. Wise going °° “Wei Will You as Speaker assume the reSi:><>n=ibility~ or ruling that Mr. Wise 'is not going tovote? - -‘

Mr._ Speaker--I ,will assume the re-

sponsibility of my duty as Speaker of this House in connection with Parliamentary usages. < Mr. McLean-I would ask ,Mu speaker

to give a decision. =

Mr- Speaker--I have received the,

resignation of Mr. Wise and consider it legal. _

Mr; Campbell-We are going to make

you shoulder the responsibility of doing one thing or the other. _

Mr. Shaw-Are we to infer that.

on themorrow you will give a decision? If so we will wait right here. _ f The Speaker then commenced to read His Honor’s speech but the Opposition ob-` .lected as they were all standing on the floor of the House.

Mr M. McKinnon said that there was

no need of all this confusion. He' asked the Speaker to recount the vote and ren- der a decision.

Amid applause Mr. Wise arose to ad-

dress the House. He claimed that on the 25th day of February-»_A1; this juuct- ure hir. Rogers of Charlottetown moved the standing order to clear the House and the large assembly of spectators_disper- sed.

As soon as the orderwas given Mr. Shaw

arose in .his place and commenced to speak but the Speaker ruled him out of order. The House then sat with closed doors until six o'clock when it adjourned until three o’clock this afternoon. Be- fore adjournment Mr. Wis`e’s resignation

was laid on the table of the House.
