The Speaker then took the chair at

nine o‘elock. -

Mr. Mathieson speaking on a question

of privilege aubmitted that a gross violation of the rules of_ the House had been made. The members should ha.ve been sworn in by the Commission appoint- cd by the:Lieuteuant_'Governer or by the Speaker and not by the Clerk as had been doilm

The leader, Hon. Mr. Simpson, con- tended that ' the proceedings were quite regular and there was prececlcptfgr the course taken on this occasion. y

Bon. Mr. Cummiskey defended the

course taken by the Government in swearing lu the members, not present at the formal opening of the House, by the Clerk.

Mr.|Morson and Mr. Matbieson pro-

ceeded, further holding that the proceed- ings taken were grossly irregular.

was a mere sham in the past. He would like to know if the committee was to be thesame this year as in the past.

Hon. Mr. Peters said there was no mem-

ber of the Government on the committee. The public accounts committee was absol- utely useless as the public accounts arc now given to the smallest detail. The committee was appointed merely to satisfy lhe Opposition.

Mr. Morson said it \vns only uyear or t\vo ago since the government had refused- to cull the public accounts committee to- gether and certain items asked for were not given until the matter had been brought into the courts. The public ac- counts committee was a perfect farce. ._

Hon. Mr. Peters said a request was

never made for the calling together of the public accounts committee and Mr. Mathleson replied thats demand had been made for the meeting of the committee and it had been refused. He gave notice no\v that the Opposition looked to thu Chairman to call the committee together regularly.

As a treat to its members two of the scenes were last evening given in costume and character--thc giving of the _bond (Act I, Scene IIII) and the forfeiture of the bond (Act IV, Scene I) famillarly known as tlxe Court scene.

The first point of admiration was called

forth by the accuracy with which the lines were given. In the two scenes the promp- `ter’s voice was heard once only.

ance so that every point told (and where is the linc in Shakespeare that has not its pointl). Shylock (Mr. Duchemin) w|\s`a most creditable portraiture.

and proceding'exchanges, all of which heretofore have been printed fully confirms the fact that Russia, from the first to the last insisted that it was inconsistent with her dignity to include in aspiral treaty with Japan obligation to respect the territorial in- tegrity of China in Mimchurin. rcltcrntiug in thc instructions sent to Baron Rosen which were accompanied by a note of explanation to Japan that R_unsia's posi- tion in Mnnchurla concerned il`rst China. and all the other powers having commer- cial interest there and also pointed out the declarations already made by Russia to foreign cabinets of her intention solong as the occupation of Muuchuria. continued tn recognize the sovereignty of China and the binding of the treaties contract by the powers, with the Pekin (Government. \Vith the exception of some slight verbal changes the first flvc articles are identical with those of Rus- sia`s original reply of October il, 1003.

1. The witiulrawal of the provision in

thc Russian note ofJan. 0, iiJ0~i, declining to recognize the settlement rights in Man- churin accrued undcr treaties with Chinn, a point ou which laid great stress. These rights Russia claimccl were acquired by Japan under cover of tri-atics negotiated by the United Status.

Russia refused; 1. To include in the

treaty an obligation to respect the tcr- ritorial integrity of Manchuria. '2 To withdraw the inhibition against using Korean territory for stragetlc pur- poses.

'The note, it is claimed, proves conclu-

sively that Russia hoped to prolonged the negotiations.
