Thi.s iho speaker refused to do, saying lhat although no motion had been made to that effect, he had placed the matter before the member.-* and they Had decided that it should betaken "as a whole." For forty five minutes the Opposition members protested.-all saying that they had not heard of such a decision. They quoted rulings and past actions of the house, but still the speaker refused to consider their protests, and while the leaders were engaged in looking up more authorities he submitted his ruling to the house, with the result and their majority of two. the government supported him, and with such action the, opposition were left helpless.

' Calmer councils prevailed however, and the members remained. , h The leader of the opposition protested, and said that there was no'other course than submit to the'tyranny, the opposition would;place themselves on record' to condemn this, -tirst, legislature in the Empire, which re fused;to respect the rights of the minority.

On Thursday some excitement was caused in the galleries by, the reading'of a telegram from C. H. 'Hand, maua- irer of the Payne mine, to F. * S. Hussey, superintendent of Provincial Police, asking that imnie- didte police assistance be sent to that mine to protect life and property, as it was feared the strikers would make trouble. The day-previous u strong petition''bearing the signatures of i'o of the ��� larger .-mining corporations, was presented to the house, praying for the repeal of the law, because of which the expense of carrying on work in the mines at present operated had become burdensome and un remunerative. Tho government i.s thought to have this law under consideration and there i.s lalk of a commission to get evidence to put before them iu regard to the working of the law. The work in the house wa.s unproductive of any great show to the man in the gallery, until Friday night, and then the proceedings were of a most spectacular kind.
