(From our own correspondent) OTTAWA, Feb. 15.'-The first dl-
vision oi' this session and ouo of tho few non-party votes of recent yours took place Inst night in tho llouse when ii. resolution, proposed by Mr. W. B. Northrup, calling' for consider- ation of the presont divorce proce- dure with a viow to its reform, was defeated by 39 votes to 24.
Mr. Northrup spoke very forcibly in
favor of his resolution although his requests were moderately phrased, since he did not specifically favor the establishment of a divorce court, but urged that some reform at least should be made even in the present procedure. which, ne claimed, no- body could defend satisfactorlly and characterized as worthy of place no where but in vaudeville show.
He also asserted that the criminal
code might well be amended to pui a stop to the disgraceful lobbying which he said was generally a recog- nized feature in connection with di

change in the present procedure and was of tho opinion that the liousc should not pass a resolution which implied criticism of Senate proce-
dure.
During thc course oi' the divorce
debate M_r. A. A. McLean, of Prince Edward island, said that thc Prince Edward island statute providing for triul oi' divorce cases upon the issue oi' e. flat hy the Lloutenant~Governoi had never been acted upon and that any application for divorce by resi- dents of tho province had been made to tho Canadian Parliament. The Senate, hc assorted, was n. court for rich men und he was of opinion that if divorce were to be granted, all Canadians should enjoy equal rights.
The remainder of the evening was
occupied by Mr. J. G. Turrlil with a reiteration of arguments in favor oi' free wheat, based on a resolution calling for free wheat. wheat pro- ducts and potatoes. Mr. Turrlff's re- marks did not exactly cause a iu- roro, the attendance of members in fact dwindling to such a. point that .he Speaker threatened to adjourn
