A thwe corsent of the Crown Attorney,| | (Opposition applause.) | He criticized lpm\'ideu the latter has been asked and | | the connection of the Attomey-(}eneral' refused to act, and if the private prose-i | with corporations which were in th@ ]vumr will put up the security for babit of coming to the Legislature for gc(,.sx::. ' favors. With respect to the . school| | uo I system of Ontario, they should I(:llow' ' the example of Germany, &nd pay more attention to industrial education, Chic--| | ago had been termed by a speaker on | the other side of the line the third largest city in Canada. It was greatly to be deplored that so many Canadians | had gone to the United States to seck | employment. Nothing had been done by the Ontario Government to prevent \1his great exodus. He dwelt upon the | great industrial possibilities in connec-- | tion with the refining of nickel ore in | Ontario, and expressed regret that the | Government had granted such an im-- :)ll"llr~f area of nickel lands as 28,000 \|acres to the American concern known as the Canadian Copper Company. He | understood, also, that the Government gave a bounty for smelting ore in the Province, no matter where the ore came from. Hon. Mr. Ross--On Canadian ore only. Mr. Pyne--I am very glad to hear that. He went on to condemn the pol-- icy of withdrawing lands that were formerly open to prospectors. He sug-- gested that a mining oftice be opened at Sudbury for the convenience of miners. * Hon. Mr. Davis--As a result of my visit to Sudbury the Government have decided to open an office at Sudbury. Plans and arrangements are being completed now, and it will be in opera-- tion before two or three weeks. Mr. Pyne--I am very glad to hear it. As to cold storage and transportation, that policy in the past had been oppos-- ed tooth and nail by the TLAiberals. Mr. Pyne discussed the West Elgin irregu-- larities, and said that blood was being sacriticed in South Africa for a matter scarcely more serious than had occurred here. He said the Attorney--General, in de-- clining to interfere, had not a proper conceution of his duties. The Attorney-- General had been asked to assist in the discovery of the murderer of Miss Fer-- | guson in East Toronito, and to offer a | reward, but had declined to do so. This ' was most improper on his part, and had | caus d great indignation among the | citizens of Toronto. If a resolution au-- thorizing a reward in the Ferguson case were introduced Mr. Pyne be-- lieved it would carry. He quoted from \the testimony given at the election trials in the attempt to show that members of the Government were cog-- nizant of the work of the machine. At t o'clock Mr. Pyne moved the ad-- | Journment of th« debate, and the | House adjourned until Monday. Alien Labor Bill. BAr. Wardell gives notice of the alien | labor bill which he introduced last ses--| sion. It seeks to prevent the emgloy-- ment of Americans or any person from |tlh- United States on any work in On-- | tario which reeeives Government aid. | _ Mr. Lucas has a bill to amend the | liquor license act, by providing for the |attacking the validity of a liquor li-- '«'flns(- by a private individual \'i(hnm'
