“Who took part in it? Thirteen Liber- al:.—namely, Messrs. Semple, Kdgar, Somerville, Bowman, Yeo, Colter, Fiint, Casey, Martin. Fra-er, Charlton, Mulock and “Choquette. Of these thirteen the majority are among the most prominent

members of Mr. Laurier’s band. Four McCarthvites and Conservative dissidents allied with Mr. Laurier on this question

a.s. took part, namely, Messrs. Henderson, Stubbs, O’Brien, McNeill Five Conserva- tives spoke, namely, Mesers. McGillivray, Cargill, Daly, Davin and Joncas.

“How were the sixteen hours divided up’ The Liberals spoke Il hours and 29 minutes; the McCarthyites 3 hours and 40 minutes; the Conservatives one hour and li minutes.

As apoo this particular day, so it was day after day; the grits and afew dis-i-

ient tories—whom Sir Charles Tupper promptly read out of the party—talked to obstruct and ouly to obstruct. No one

could prevent them ; for the cloture has not yet been applied in the Parliament of Canada.

The Ottawa correspondent of the Mont- real Gazette—a thorouzuly reliable man— describes the obstruction of Saturday last as follows:

“During the whole evening the stupid talk about the Royal! Military College and Col. Hamilton was continued by member after member of the Opposition until a quarter to twelve, wien Mr. Casey got up aud commenced to speak. Mr. Foster very politely requested him to give way so that might be put and the House adjourn before midnight. Mr. Ca-ey, in @ very rude ani purposely of- fensive manuver, replied that be would speak as loog as he p'eased, and he ac- until

cordingly continued speakiog the tower clock commenced striking twelve and for a minute or so after it had ceased. The motioa to adjourn was then put and de- clared lost. The orders of the dav were called and the motion that the House meet at half past ten in the morning for the bal ance of the session was put. Of course Mr. Laurier objected. The whole object of this obstruction was to prevent this motion be- ing put, and akhough it was Sunday morning Mr. Laurier wanted to go on with ancether obstruction, and Messrs. Casey and Martin tried to raise points of order which had no point to them. Mr. Fo-ter suggested tha’ the debate be adjourned, which was done on motion of Mr. Dickey, and the House adjourned at five minutes after midnight, Mr. Laurier having ac- complished his purpoze of forcing the House to desecrate the Sabbath.”

The Gazette’s correspondent continues:

“What earthly good Mr. Laurier expects to accomplish by tnis wanton outrage to the feelings of the whole Christian munity of Canada it is impossible to cor{ ceive. Nor is it how he cao gain any Heavenly reward for such lalous conduct. But Mr. Laurier and bis whole gang of conspirators and ob- structionisis seem to be totally lost to all feelings of decency and common sense and “cut such fantastic tricks before high Heavea as mike the angels weep;” and as the present rules of the Hous do not, uo- fortunately, perm t of their being resta:ne y they must be allowed to make such exhib, tions of themselves as they please fur the remainder of the session. The inevitable

Scal

conclusions to be arrived at from the reckle-s conduct of the Opposition this session, is thatthe ules of the House

which can permit such factious and sen-e less obstruction have outlived their useful ness, and that one of the first duties of the Conservative party after the general elec-

tion has confirmed them in vffice for an other five years, will be to amend the rules so that the majority shall rule, aad

not any factious little Opposition which plans to obstruct and thereby put the country to enormous expense for unnecs

sary sessions of Parliament and to-great joes and inconvenience through the Gov- ernment being unable to pay its employes or carry On any public works, no matter how importantor necessary they may be.”

Hon. Mr. Peters said they had not yet | only permanent work by the present Gov—

proposed wing had already been published. | The cost of the whole structure will be considerably under $25,000.

Mr. Bell said he was opposed to the poor house part of the structure, -but not to the Asylum portion. There is no need ofa new poor house. He found that it did not cost as much to maintain the poor of other places as it did to keep the poor here, and he thought the expense might be less:ned by one-half. He was decidedly opposed to loceting the poor- house at the Asylum. Dr. Ros-, of Vernon

| River Bridge, in a letter to the press, sail

the proposed change would operat+ad versely to both poor and insane. He was opposed to the proposed change on the score of hum- anity. It may be true that some of the p yor are ifiote, but he believed the greater number had senses and sensibilities simi- lar to our own. He also opposed the change on the ground of its cost. The cost of the proposed addition to the Asy lam, it was said, would be $14,000, and the wing for the poor $1,000, or in al $21,000. tHe hai reason to believe, how ever, that the estimate «f $4,000 was not rorrect, as the expense woud be greater

The cost of the p wrhouse alone will be from $°0,000 to $15,900, and the country cannot

aif rd this exp-nditure. There is no at

solute necessity for a n¢w poor house. A- a representative of Prince County he did not believe in centralizing everything in Charlottetown. That county is now taxed to maintain public works and inatitutions in K-ng’s and Queen’s counties. This was a condition of things that should not ex- ist, and sooner or later municipal govern- ment will be forced on the country. He did no. think the House was in possession of sufficient information regarding the e-ti- mates under considera.ion, A _ proper medical superintendent should be placed in the asyluin—ao up-to-date @pecialist in brain diseases—some one in whom we have confidence. Then let him report as to the number of persons in the asylum who should not be there, and al-o how many are in the poor house who should not be there or who ouglit to be in the asylum. This officer might also tell the House what kind of an addition is required for the asylum. Modern asyluins have a separate annex 80 as to convey to patients the idea that they are not in an asylum. With re- commendations from a properly qna ifiel medical officer we would be justified in voting the money. He believed that ad ditions! aceommodation waa required for the asylum, but hedid not know of what nature.

Hon. Mr. Peters thought that the hon. member for Cape Traverse did not know where he stood in this matter. A tew nights ago he said that the poor house was iu a bad state and now he says it is ail right. The governmentdo no: pro- pose to epend more than $25,000 on the building, and they have it aathe authority of their architect that it wil! not cost more

han that amount. The Government did pot propose to accept tenders for a Jarger sum, and if thatis not enough not a dol- lar will be spent until the House meets next year. he hon gentleman quotes what Dr. Blanchard told him and then turns around and says Dr. B'anchard is not qual fled and practically advocates turning him out and getting an up to date man. At the present time there sre ac-

him may seem Ht.

A new section was added as follows :—

6. Section thirteen of the said Act is nereby repealed and the following substi- tuted in leu thereof :

“Every supervisor shall in the year 1896, on or before the 15th day of May, aud in every succeeding vear on or before the 15th day of April, nomiaate and ap- point such number of overseers within his district as to the supervisor shall appear for the public good, and ehall p-es:ri be to such overseers the limits and boundaries of ther respective precincts within which they have authority.”

The Speaker took the chair, and the bill as ameoded was reported agreed to.

House resumed committee of supply, Mr. Rogers (Alberton) in the chair. item

On the of a sum sufficient for the construction of a new wing for the Hospital for the T[osane

Hon. Mr. Petera referred to the statement made by the hon. member from Cap Traverse to the effect that the number ot patieats under restraint at the Hoapital hud increased four-fold since the medical superinteadent had ceased to be a resident of that institution. He real a letter from Mr. William McPhail, Super- v.so: of the Hospital, in the course of which some comparisons were made. Mr. McPhail took the year 1895 and compared it with 1885. He pointed out that in April, with an average of 118 patients there were under restraint 14 persons. In April, 1895, with an averag- of 161 patients there were under restraint 16, just two more than in 1885 though the number of patients had increased by 43 Therefore, in proportion to the number of patients, the restraints were actually less in 1895 than in 1885. Taking the two years 1884 and 1894, he sehowed that in October, 1884, with an average of 116 pa- tients there were 17 under restraint, while in October, 1894, with an average of 146 patients, there were under restraint 18 patients, or ouly one more than ten year« presiously, though the average number of pa'ients had increased by 30. In the face of these figures Mr. McPoail could not see what grouod there was for saying th t there was four-fold of an increa<e in tbe number of restraints. Mr. McPhail point- ed out also that though a certain number of patients are said to be under restraint they are only occasionally #0, and not by apy means continuously. Hon. Nr. Peters thought this letter from Mr. McPhail showed that the statements made by tue hon. member were not borne out by facts, and hala tendency to injure the credit of the Province both at home and abroad, aud to lessen the confidence of our p: ople in that institution.

Mr. Bell, in reply, pointed out that what he had said respecting the Hospital fur the Insane was based upon what Dr. Blanch- ard had told him im the course of an int r- view to whch he had already made refer- encein the House. This interview was

not of @ private character, as Dr. Blanch-

ard was informed that the matter was coming up for discussion in the Moun-e. The Doctor told him, amongst other things, that when a patient became violent

the superintendent would telephone him

for advice, and in reply he would telephone bim to use bis own judgment, and as a re-

sult restraint would be resorted to. In

this way, the doctor said, foar times as much restraint was used as would be used

if there was aresideut physician at the

asylum.

Hon. Mr. Peters in reply to a question

asked by Mr. Bell, said it was the intention

to remove the poor people from the poor

house to the Asylum, and eaid that two

thirds of the inmates of the poor house

are idiots and hardly know where they are.

1885,

At the evening session committee of supply was resumed.

Mr. Bell asked whose plan for the pro~

tually [2 or 13 persons sleeping in a room ) pe ping

only intended for 7, and an at- tic, which was never intended for a ward, has been turned into one. We have

the evidence of our eyes that an addition tothe Asylum is urgently required, and if we did not face the matter ad we should we would be cowards indeed. Our O!d Asy- lum became overcrowded to a disagree- able extent when we werea self-governing colony, and our constitution was threat- ened if a remedy were not applied. We must provide accommodation for those unfortanate3. Iu regard to the state 2nt of the hon. member for Cape Traverce regarding Dr. Blanchard he (Mr. Peters) said he was an expert in brain di-eases and had ra‘sed the Asvlom to a high standard. The Doctor had ‘gone over the plans of the proposed wing, and his sug gestions were carried out. The Hoase, therefore, has all the information neces- sary On the matter from a medical ani every other standpoint.

Mr. Bel! dented that he ever said the poorhouse was adi grace to the country. But the Lunatic Asylum isa b'ot on the fair name of the Province.

Mr. McLaugblio said he bad visited the poor house an! found svffi:ient evidence that the people were not in the best con- dition. The ventilation was very bad. He thought that if the hon. member were to in‘erview the clergymen who visited the poor house he would no doudt come to the House aad say the institution was a disgrace tothe country. Many of the inmates of the poor house were insane, yet it was said we ought not to mix the poor and the insane. The sooner the poor house is remedied the better.

Hon. Mr. Gordon said that locking back 18 or 19 years, when the vote was taken to build the asylum, the people thought we were mad for bu Idinz such a great structure, and it is sad injeed to ncw hear that the institution is filled. He visit- ed the asylum lately and thought we should be proud of the institution. Every- thing about it is ciean and tidy, the food excellent, attendants well trained and everything possible done that could be done. There are 167 patients there, and he thougdt that with a su itable rearravge- ment additional room would be found. He did not consider the matter from a mone- tary standpoint, but he failed to see any great demand for this expenditure. The Government are now deeply in debt, and evideatly think that they might as well be hung fora sheep as alamb. They will not hesitate to go deep r into debt. He would not decry the credit of the country, but had not forgotten the wail that had been raised about revenue and expenditure not meeting under the late goverument. If we keep on as we are going they can never be equalized. He was opposed to lovating the poor house atthe asylum. He then moved the following resolution :

Resolved, That in the opinion of this House no expenditure should be incurred in furnishing additional accommodation in connection with the Hospital for the In- save until such time as a competent duly qualified commission will report as to its necessity.

Mr. Shaw seconded the resolution moved by Mr. Gordon. He did not think the

time in voting for this expenditure. He

and said that no evidence of the necessity for greater accommodation had been sub- mitted. If it were shown that the expen -

sure none would object. Again, according

to the estimate submitted by the hon. m-mber for Cape Traverse it was shown

that, including the cost of heating, the

total cost would be about $34,353. What! guarantee have we that the Leader of the | Government will cry halt? In view of

the fact that he had already borrowed more

money than he was authorized to borro

House would be justified atthe present |

The Leader of the Government could not show us any authority that increased accommodation was urgently required at the Asylum.” In view of the deplorable state of our finan- ces, and without proof that this. expentdi- ture is required, he seconded the? motion of the Leader of the Opposit.on. sii The chairman ruled the motion ouf® of order, a3 it wasin the nature of a rider to the resolution. " 2

Mr. Bel! moved in amendment that ‘the words $25,000 be struck out and $18,000 inserted in lieu thereof,

Mr. Warburton then addresstd the House at some length, putting in a plea

for providing all the accommadation. pos- sible for the poor and insane of this prov- ince. , ; 3

Mr. Robertson . followed, speaking «in support of the estimates beforeche House..

A vote was then taken on the amend- ment moved by Mr. Bell, and it was de- clared lost on division, only the mover appearing for it.

Hon. Mr. Gordon then moved in amend- iment that the resolution in suprly be disazreed to. Mr. Shaw, seconded the motion.

The amendment was then put ani lost on division, Mr. Bot) supportiag the amendment with the oppdsition.

The main motion carried.

The item of a sam eufficient for plan: and specifications fora new Prince of Wales College building was then tab!ed.

Hon. Mr. Gordon thought the present building was quitesuitable fortbe pupils attending ther’. If more room. were’ re:

by removing the residence of th> principal to another building. He Was also oppased

penditure.it would involve at atime. -when the finances of the province would not warrant large expenditures. :

Mr. Shaw agreed with what had been said by the Leader of the opposition, and thought no sum should be exp2nded> for, plans and specifications when ample a: comodation conl 1 be provided if the Prin- cipal were removed as suggested.

Theitem passed.

The speaker took the chair and the chairman reported 39 resolutions agreed to.

Hon Mr. Peters introduced the ‘Ap- propriation Bill, 1896,” which was set down for second reading to-morrow.

Mr. Rogers (Alberton) then introduced the following resolution:

tesolved, That it is the opinion of this House that from and after the expiration of the term of oflice of His Honor the pre- sent Lieutenant Governor no further ex- penditures of money shall be made by. the Government of this province towards maintaining the re-idence-or office of the Lieutenant Governor.

Ife urged the necessity of ‘economy _ in- the matter of expenditures, and put in a plea for retrenchment wherever’ practic able.

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE CAPITAL,

Date of Election Fixed as Reported by The Examiner . __ Of Yesterday.

SIR CHARLES TUPPER'S CABINET.

Meredith and Chapleau Coming In.

“Orrawa, April 23.

The im ortant announcement was made iw the Senate yesterday by Sir McKenzie Bowell of the dates of the general election. The Government das bowed to the express opivion of the members that the middle of Juneiis the best period for taking the ver- dict of the people. - Accordingly, nomina- tions will take place on June 16th and voting on June 23rd. The writs are made returnable on Jaly 13th, and Parliament will be called to meet either on the 15th cor 16th. The Premier himself stated that it would-be the 16th,or possibly a little later, Parliament will probably meet to elect. its speakers on Wednesday, the 15th, the formal opening being on Thurday, the ‘16thi * Prorogatiou takes place this evening at B o'dlock.

, Ouatof the massof political rumors the lobbies, fit is possible to state, with some degree of defiuitenessr, how Sir Charles Tupper’s ministry will will be constituted.

First and foremost, Chief Justice eMere!i-h will withdraw from the Ontar‘e bench to accept the portfolio of Minister of Justice.

It is felt that by securing Chie f Justice Meredith, Sir Charles Tupper haa played a trump card. The Chief Justice is known to be a man of consummate ability and of high character—a man who wi | grace any position in which he is placed. He will certainly be a tower of strength to the old war horse. Theaccession of Mr. Meredith tothe cabinet follows as a result of the re- tirement of Sir McKerzie Bowell, whe, although urged by Sir Charles Tupper to take the portfolio of Minister of Trade and Commerce, feels that, at his time of life, he can well be relieved of the respousibili- ties of an important department. Sir Mc- Kenzie may te» ain in the cabinet witha. ¢ portfolio and be leader of the Senate.

With regard to Quebec it may be taken asa settled fact that Lieut.-Governor Chapleau will leave Spencer woed to ac- cept the portfolio of Minister of Public Werks, Hon. Mr. Ouimet becom’ng Lieut. Governer.

If Sir A. P. Caron takes the High Commissionership, which is quite pos- sible, then Hon, Mr. Angersor Hon, Mr. PeHetier will take the portfolio new held by him.

With respect to the: other ministerial changes they will not involve any further disturtance of the personel of thecakinet, , altbongh there may be a little shuffling of ' porifolios.

Hon. Mr. Dickey w ll return to the D.f partment of Militia and Hon, Mr. Hag- gart will continue to preside overthe De- partment of Railways and Canals and Hon. Dr. Montagne will remain at the head of the Agriculturai Department.

LADY ABERDEEN IN PERIL.

A Fortunate scape.

Orrawa, April 23.

Lady Aberdeen hai a narrow escape from what might have been a serious accident-yesterday. She was out driving with one of the staff. A few hundred yards north of the Gatineau River the vil- lage road is for a short dietauc’, just now, covered with a flood of water, but is in regular use by farmers and others, There is, however, at that point by the side of the rivera large ho'e, concealed at pre- sent by the flood water. When opposite this hole, one of the horses swerved slight;, and immediately carriage and its occupants were plunged into the water. Fortunately, ali the occupants ef the car- riage were extracted, but the horses were drowned. They were a very fine pair of che-trut# givén some time ago by the Gov- ernor-General to Her Sendlenay for her own use. The Countess is feeling somewhat the results of the shock.
