~_0'l‘_'1‘AWA, April 11-Mr. McKenzie,
Cape Breton, resumed discussion o
the closure resolution this afternoon
He said the last. occasion when the
“Previous question" was moved was
on 1885 during 'a debate on the
Rell trial. It is now being moved to
deprive the Opposition of their
rights and liberties. The ninth of
April would go down in history as a
day of a double tragedy, because po-
litical murder had been committed,
the Prime Minister had committed
political suicide.
The Cape Breton member argued
that the new rules should not be
passed because they were intended to
bring about the adoption of a mea-
sure of which people did not ap-
prove.He objected to the introduction
of cloure under the circumstances.
Hs said the people of Canada would
show their disapproval by returning
Liberals to office at the next elec-
tion.
Mr. W. M. German argued the ne-
cessity of some means of .limiting the
debate but thought there was n vasf
difference between limiting the de-
hhte and applying the Guillotine as
now proposed. Under the new rules
the _bill could be railroaded through
parliament in one day. It was a
steamroller with a vengeance and the
people would not stand for it. Libe-
rals. be declared, did not intend to
submit. to gag rule. If the Senate
did not pass the Naval Aid Bill,
he concluded, Mr-. Borden, in view o.
the pledge given in a speech in Mon-
treal, would be obliged to go to the
country.
Mr. Nesbitt, North Oxford, declared
the Naval Aid Bill should go to the
people and the -roi.-<u~_i.1iuit sllunld
have submitted the closure resolution
to a special committee of the house.
In tha evening Messrs. Sinclair and
Bowen spoke. ‘
'Ilhe House adjourned at 10 o'cloclt.
Hon. Frank Oliver has floor and
will be first speaker to-morrow.
(Special to The Guardian)
OT'l'AWA, April 11.--There is no
situation left. Prorogation is a mat-
ter of \veeks only. Officially the Op-
position is saying nothing as to the
course which will be followed next
week. Unnflicially it is freely admit-
ted that the fight is over and the
government has in its hand s weapon
against which no obstruction cani
continue. Liberals fully realize and
admit thestrengtlr of the_.Conserve.-.
tfves"'posftfbn. The talk now is of n
vote on the closure resolution by the
middle of next week, perhaps earlier,
with a division on the Naval Bill
following within a. reasonable time,
probably on a fixed date.
There seems to be a very general
belief that the Senate I/iberals will
not take the responsibility of throw-
ing out the Naval Bill. The Ottawa
Free Press, the Liberal organ at the
capital, a paper which has consist-
ently urged on the obstructionists,

position to light the closure consti-

tion put by Dr. Dewar he expressly
stated that there was no law clerk,
and that the sum paid Messrs. Mc-
Leod and Bentley included work lor-
merly done by the law clerk. The
statement made by the Patriot was
absolutely false. Moreover the at-
tempt to fasten blame upon Mr.
Bentley personally was also unfair
and misleading. The work was done
by the firm of McLeod and Bentley.
The sum of $10 for advising the At-
torney-General was incurred in this
way. There was a case oi nuisance
between Dr. Dewar and Mr. Aubrey,
Mutch, and they came to him to see
that the health officer should take
action. He advised that he dill not
think it was the dllty of that officer
to do so, but as they were not satis-
fied he suggested they should take
the advice of counsel, and recom-
mended them to go to Messrs. Mc-'
Leod and Bentley. The firm gave the
advice asked for and it was for that
the sum of $10 was charged. The
sum of $250 was for prohibition
cases, and it was due to this that
prohibition cases had been so suc-
cessful in this county. He should
like to mention that it was nothing
new for this firm to be employed by
tho Government. He held in his
hands accounts from them for work
done for the Haszard' Government, in-‘
cluding $25 and $80 for advising the
Attorney General.
