(From Our Own Correspondent.)

OTTAWA, April 17. - Sir Robert

Borden announced early in to-day's sitting that Sir Sam Hughes had re- turned to Ottawa and 'proposed to make s. statement to the House to- morrow. He also laid upon the table an order»in-Council approved by the Govemor-General on April 15 and aris- ing out of a promise made by the Prime Minister during thedebate upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier's motion calling for the appointment of a parliamentary committee to investigate the opera- tions of the Shell Committee. In his speech lu that debate Sir Robert said that the Government would be pre- pared to direct the attention _of the British Government to allegations made by members of the Opposition lu regard to the Shell Committee and

would inform the British authorities

of its readiness to co-operate in any in- vestigation which might he thought desirable. The Order-in-Council pro- vides for the transmission to the Secretary of State for the Colonies of the Hansard report of the debate on the Laurier resolution and of a copy of the Order~in-Council authorizing the issue of a Royal Commission to Sir William Meredith Chief Justice of Ontario, and Mr Justice L. P. Duff of the Supreme Court. The order sp- proved on Saturday last also conveys to the Secretary of State for the Colonies that the Government of Canada is assisting any inquiry into the transactions to which reference was made in Sir Wilfrld’s motion and that so far as the Government of Canada is concerned there is no objec- tion whatever to the fullest investiga- tion that may be thought desirable at any time.
