The House met to-day at. 3.30.
Several returns were laid upon the table.
After questions by members had been answered, Costigan desired to be excused ‘from making any estimate, as he had | promised at the close of the House this | morning, his voiee, he aaid, being inade- | quate to the oceasion. He said he would ‘make the statement when the Honse went |into concurrence. | Vail moved the six months hoist, in
‘amendment to Sir Charles Tupper’s reso- | lutions. | Blake moved in amendment to the amendment that it was fitting before asking | the Hcuse to proceed with the resolytions | that the Government should lay before it fuller particulars,
Sir Charles Tupper, in reply, spoke for some time, and pointed out that Blake had to move an amendment to a motion of his
own supporters So conscious was he that the Governments proposals were supported by the country, that he (Blake) realized that the country had determined upon ‘completing a system of railways, and ac- cordingly not only ceased opposing the resolutions that wanted the government to go and build other railways, the details of the cost of which he had asked for. | Vail followed Tupper, declaring that he ‘was firmly convinced that the loan would never be repaid. ( After recess McNeill spoke against Blake’s amendment to Vail'’s amendment, followed by Anger, Sproule, Howde and
