'pEDNESDAY, JUNE 17, 1903 FROM QONTARIO _ « Ke m 4 ',\ Dominion Interference in Pro-- i # # # # 1 | vincia!l Jurisdiction. | , MR. PATTULLO'S MOTION. _ Legislature Adopts It Unani-- mously. Sherif Dana's Case Reviewed-- Gamey Report Comes Up To-- day. The Legislature spent the greater part of yesterday afternoon in a dis-- cussion upon Mr. Pattullo's motion protesting against the interference of the Dominion House in matters of exclusively Provincial import. The opinion on both sides of the House was unanimous that the Province's rights were encroached upon, and j that every possible means should be taken to have a definite decision up-- on the respective powers of the Do-- minion and the Province. -- Sheriff Dana's reappointment was criticized _ by Mr. Whitney, and Col.

It was probably correct that ; facts had been furnished them from I the department, as he himself had | been furnished with some of the _ _ same information. He would be much surprised, however, if anything more was given them. . If, the. oificial re-- ferred to had done so, he should te severely censured. He would make prompt inquiry. Mr. Whitney asked the Premier if | there would be any further railway legislation this session. Mr. Ross replied that he could not tell yet. In reply to a further question by Mr. Whitney, Mr. Ross . said the House would go on with business as far as they could during the day, and unfinished matters would be taken up after the debate on the Gamey report qs concluded. that taking prece--
