Fripay, June 8.

House met at 10.45.

Upoa motion of Hoa. Mr. Rogers the House went into committee on the bill relating to the changing of the system of conducting civic elections in Charlotte- town, Mr. McWilliams taking the chair. Mr. Rogers explained that uader the bill it was prop «ed to have the conacillors elect- ed in the same manner asthe Mayor is now elected. The bill is not to become law until a vear »fter it has been approved by the people ata plebiecite vote to be taken in February oext.

Mr. McLinughlao ihought that the country shoald oot be pat ts the expense of passing the billia view of ali thecir~ cumstances, and therefore move that the Speaker take the chsir and progress be re- ported,

The motion wae carried, and the Speaker took the chair. The motion was supported . by members on the (#»vernment side. of the Honse and oppused by the Opposi-, tion. '

Committee on the tax bill was then resumed. The additional eec- tion introduced by the Premier last

night was amended by providing for a direct taxof 3.00 0n all companies or corporations not previously covered by the bill. The third reading of the bill as amended was set down for tomorrow.

The Appropriation Bill was read a eecood and third time and passed,

Mr. A. Petere preseoted a bil! providing for diminishing unnecessary delay and expense in the Cuurt of Chancery. Secord reading tomorrow.

The bill relating to the new wing the asylum, etc, was then read a time and passed on a party vote.

House then went into committee on all matters relating to roade, Mr. McWilliams in the cbair.

There was agood deal of discussion in connection wilh eome of the appropria- tions. Opposition members pointed out that the policy of bavingthe expenditure ut money coutrolled by members sup- porting the Government wae a vicious one and opened wide the door for corruption. It was pointed out that in many cases Op- position members bad nothing whatever O say in the expenditures although they were equally interested and should have a “oice as well as the members on the othe: side.

Ai the aftersoon session committee was continued,

ldr. Cur miskey spoke at some length, acaling principally vith matters connect- od with bis election.

On whe conciusion «‘* his speech Mr. Shaw aeked fcr a rée‘urn showing how $257 of pecper mon. y had been distributs ed by the Speaker.

Mr. Cummiskey said the money had been exoended in a proper manner, and gave the names of several] persona to whom the money had been given for distribution. He declined to submit the return asked for and dared Mr. Shaw to make a formal charge. Failing todoso he asked that he withdraw, his statement.

Mr. Shaw said he would neither make the charge suggest u nor withdraw the statement.

Mr. P ne au pointed out that there wa* no returo of the expenditures of panpe money allowed to the memver for Mi couche. But he believed the money nad been honertly expended in hia case as wel! as in the case of the Speaker.

Mr. Shaw then asked Mr. Pineat to ex plain what committee had charge of tne $2000 it was wa said he was 'o receive accor jing to the affidavit of Mr, Shea.

Mr. Pinesu denied that he signed bis pame to the Ittter produced in Tae Ex aAmiver 6nd Watchman newepapers, He always signed his name Pineau and not Pino as it appeared in those papere.

Mr. Shaw said tusttie oly difference between the letter written ty Pineau ip Ottawa andthe letter publiened in the newepapers was (that the pictureof the Branswick Hotel, Otiawa, in the corner of the letter was not reprodnced.

Mr. Sinclair complained that Mr. Shaw’s conduct was uoparliamenotary, aod this precipitated adiscuesion so stormy that the Speaker had to take the chair to re- store order.

Theo the chairman reported certain re- solutions regarding roads agreed to, and consideration of pauper scales was entered upon with Mr. Forbes in the chair.

The discuseion whichfollowed was par- ticipated in ty Mr. A. J. Macdonald, Mr. Camptel , Mr.J. A. Macdonald,Mr Pineau, and fothere, Mr. Pineau volunteer~ ing the information that be was this after- noon offered $250 to vote against the pro- bibition bill.

Mr, A. J. Macdonald held that no member of Parliament should have the haodling of pauper money; and Mr. Camp- bel! claimed that some of thie money was used for political purposes,

vlebissite under Dominion auspices anda majority of 8,315 d ‘clared for prohibition, “here is o9 doubt as to the wishes of the prople o» this point, He thought the measure befor? the House was what the people waated. The bill submitted by the temperaice people affected only the retail traie while the bill he introduced dealt with wholesale dealers as well. The other bill provided that it go into effect on the lst of December, but the present bill does not go into force until June,1901. By the time the bill is to go into force its constitutionality will have beeu passed upon by the Minister of Jus- vce. Under National Prohibition the importation as weikas the sale of intoxi-< csots would be p-obibited. bat cannot ved one by bis province. He regrette4 that the people of Quebec did not see this question in tbe same light as the people of this province, as their adverse v te bampered the Federal Goveroweat in the matier of prohibition. Tne Leader then explained the details of the bill, which are familiarto he readers of THE EXAMINER, aod said thattte Government whieh did not enforce the measure would not remain in power very long

Mr Campbell thought tne Leaderch uld have the Attorney-General at his elbow to enlighten the House regarding the deci sion of the, Privy Council respectivg prohi- bition.

Mr, Peters held that it was not neces- sary to have an Attorney-General on the floor of the House. The Preu.ier bas had a good deal of diecussion with the Attornev-Geoeral regarding the Judicial Committee’s decision. Bugh Jobn Mac- donald is going to appeal to the Privy Couoscil on his bill. He (Mr. Peterr) alwa 8 said be would favor prohibition. Tie Scott Act was not probibition. Tbere was more | quor sold under the Scott Act than uoder the exieting law. He hed refused to vote for the temperance bill because it provided that the Government thould provide the liquor, appoint ven- dors and inepectore, and take ihe precfite,

The motion carried and the Houre went into committee on the bill, with Mr. Forbes in the chair.

Mr. Shaw congratulated the* Leader, on the verge of his political dissolution, upon following in the footsteps of that eminent Liberal-Conrervative Leader, Hugh Jobn McDonald. But the conditions here are different from those in Manitoba. There is po Hudson Bay charter to interfere here. Theretore the Leader should not hesitate to bring the bill into effect before 1901. Mr Shew al-o wished to point out that under the bill before the House the club which exists in Charicttetown aud any number of others that may be 8 erted may sell liquor ‘n defiance of the law. Why close up Angus McDouald’s bueiness on one side of Queen Street aud allow the club to sell on tie other ?

Mr Peters claimed that it world be illegal to put a clamae ‘v the bill regards ing the club. The courts had decided that the ciub was Jegal. ‘The temperauce peonle saw thet euch aclavse would kill the bi. abucl Whe BOL ineerleu

Mr. A. A. McLean did not agree with Mr. Peters as to the conttitutionslity of theclub. They could not tell bow many clubs would be started. Ifa prohibition bill is to be passed let it probibit the sale of liquor in Charlotietow-. If there should be one clause inthe act that was uucunsticational it would not affect the Oth+* parte of tne bill.

oir. McKinnon epoke of the importarce of ‘be measure now before the House and regretied that it bad uct been brought up eailier in the seseion. He deprecated the operiag remarks ot tLe Leader who it ceemed to him was seeking to to.ce the opposition into opposing the bli. He thought the bill was not perfect aud eubmitted the following amend- ment s—

That eub-section (by of section 2 is hereby amended by mserting after the word “f corporation ” the words “‘ club, atsociation, organization or combination of persons tur social purposes.”

Hon. Mr. Farquharson opposed the amendment. Heuido’t know where they would be if the amendment carried.

Mr. Shaw condemned the conduct of the Leader, who seemed to be afraid of some of his supporters. Last year the Leader was asked to tring in a prohbibitory law and he woulanu duit. Now he brings in a partial measure. The two-thirds clause in the Legislative bi'l bad been declared illegal, but the rest of the bill was adopted. One illegal clauee did not affect the whole bill.

Mr. Peters held that the bill in ques- tioo, two-thirds clause ard al], had been assented to. The amendment world make this bill illegal.

Mr. A. A. McLean pointed out that if the amendment was declared illegal it could be remedied before the bill goes into effect. There was nothing to hinder the city of Charlottetown from forming clubs and selling liquor in defiance of the law. The Opposition wished the bill ‘ocover sales of liquor everywhere, to give all the prebibition possible.

wished to make the biil strong where it was weak.

Hon. Mr.Sinclair opposed the amend- ment because it would kill.the bill. The S.iipendiary Megistrate decided that there was no legal saleof liquor in the Char- Joutetown Club. This Houee had no power to prohibit the taking of liquor socially in the home.

Hon. Mr Gordon said he never expect- edto bear sucha speech from Mr. Sin- ciair, whom he always looked upon asa strong temperance man. He thought there could be uo defence ofthe club in this connection, as iis existence was a direct contradiction of tbe bill before the House, If the till as introduced paseed the people here would be in @ position similar to the Outlanders in Soutn Africa, for some of them were denied certain rights that others were allowed. All skould be treated slike in regard tothis matter, Without the proposed amendment the bill was a delusion.

Mesers Peters, Farqubarson, Shaw,

Birch and others continued the debate, the Opposition speakers arguiog strongly in favor of the bill being made applicable to clubr, and the speakers on the other side arguing thet the smendment would kill the bill. The amendment introduced by Mr. McKinnon was ten put and declared lost ou a party vote, ]0toi4. Mr. Campbell, Mr. James E. Macdonald and Mr. Des: Roches wers not in the House when the vote was taken.

Mr. M. McKinnon said it was discourag- ing to offer amendments when they were voted down, but he wished to move the

That section four is hereby amended by inserting after the word agent in the second line thereof the words following : steward, secretary, butler, or club or association manager.
