The sole remaining clause in the amendment to the medical act pro-- \;}ded for interprovincial reciprocity in the registration of medical practi-- tioners. 'This clause was passed hy the House in committce. The principle of Mr. W. D. Mc-- Pherson's bulk sales act did not com-- mend itself to the House in commit-- tee. Messrs R. R. Gamey (Manitou-- Under .. the circumstances pr. Jamieson thought '"it would not be in the interests of the medical pro-- fession and the public" to have the bill pass at the present time. Ac-- cordingly he proposed to let the leg-- islation go over until next. year, when it might be brought up again. In the meantime to prevent "the coun-- try becoming flooded with all sorts of irregular practitioners," Dr. Jamie-- son thought next year's legislation cog.l-d be made retroactive for a year. By introducing his amendment to the medical act giving recognition under wertain restrictions to osteo-- paths practicing in Ontario, Dr. D. Jamieson (South Grey) found that he had stirred up such a "hornets' nest" that he moved in the House yester-- day to strike out all the clauses in the hill which related to osteopaths. Hon. Mr. Hearst pointed out that it was along the Government rail-- way where most of the settlers were likely to go in. Nevertheléess he pro-- mised that Mr. Machin's constituency would not be neglected. Leave Osteopaths Out. | It would be necessary, Mr. Hearst ; pointed out, to send engineering par-- | ties out through the *'country to de-- |termine the character of the land, \ to indicate where the best land is to be found, and to avoid . road con-- struction into districts where no set-- tlement would likelyv follow. Mr. Z. Mageau (Sturgeon Falls) called attention to the fact that more than $350,000 had already been.voted for work on roads in Northern Ontario and more than $150.000 for bridges He inquired if this additional money was to be spent irrespective of poli-- tics and by competent engineers. He suggested that the larger part of the money might go to the constituencs of Temiskaming. and that the mem-- ber from Temiskaming was confiden that it would. He hoped that th« constituency which he-- represente would not receive unfair treatment. Mr. H. A. C.. Machin '(Kenora) while the bill was being considereo in Committee of the House, called the attention of the Minister -- of Lands, Forests and Mines to the needs of northwestern Ontario, and urged that all the money be not spent along the line of the T. & N. O,. Railway. Sir James Whitney was severe in his denunciation of the opposition to the terms of the bill. He disagreed with Mr. Rowell as to the apposite-- ness of the precedent found in the de-- feat of the Sandfield Macdonald Ad-- ministration in 1871.. The Govern-- ment was thoroughly consistent with accepted constitutional -- practice in the line it was following. . "Suppose we improperly spent one dollar of this money," he said, "the mem-- bers of this House could rebuke us. They could punish us--and 1 believe hon. gentlemen would do it." When the bill was in committee Mr. Rowell objected to the inclusion in the bill of the words "and such other objects as the Lieutenant--Gov-- ernor in Council may deem expedi-- ent."" He urged that all the objects for which the money was to be spent should be approved by the Legisla-- tive Assembly. These other objects could be approved by the House at the next session. Mr. Rowell said he had an amend-- ment to make to the bill that a de-- partment of the Government be created to have charge of the work of opening up New Ontario. He would make the formal motion later. «An immigration policy would have to be worked. out, and some settled method of disposing of the land. "We will be willing to submit every dol-- lar of the five millions to the ap-- proval of this House," the Minister said in conclusion. House Would Punish. but all agricultural sections of New Ontario would receive proper atten-- tion. An effort would be made to establish a pulp mill in the Temis-- kaming district, . which would pro-- vide immediate employment for set-- tlers going into that section of the country. 1§n). A. A., Mahaffy (Muskoka), and . W. MceGarry (South Ronfrew) ex-- pressed themselves as opposed to it, and Sir James Whitney agreed with them, saying that with a measure of such importance it would be wise to "'make haste slowly." Accordingly he 'asked that the bill be held over un-- til next session. | Maintaining that he considered the !hill "a tardy measure of justice," Mr. McePherson consented to letting his hill go over.. He explained that al-- though the bill was intonded to place restrictions on retailers wishing . to dispose of their stock in bulk for the prute(-tinn of wholesalers, he under-- 'stnnd the Retail Merchants' Associ-- | ation were in favor of it.

"Covert, Unmanly and Cowardly." Sir James Whitney was not -- in. clined to accept the statement of the leader of the Opposition that no per-- sonal attack was intended on the Speaker. He referred to Mr. Row-- ell's speech as a "covert, unmanly and cowardly attack on the presiding ot-- ficer of the House." The hon. gentle-- man was unable to hide the "Arar, malice and personal reflection w ®% h he desires to place upon you, sit-- ting defenceless in that chair."
