From Qur Own Correspondent. Ottawa, Macch 27,--1he long expected attack by Mr. Bourassa, upon the al leged saw-off between the government and the opposition regarding the re port of the insurance commission, took place yesterday. The member for la- belle made no specitic charge himself. He merely reiterated the charges con tainted in the report of the surance commission, involying Semaler Lox, Messrs. UG. B. Foster, G. W. Fowler, Bennewt and lLefurgey. He repeated the charges made by G. W. Fowler against Duncan CU. Ross, of the Yale Cariboo, and *'ministers and ex-minis- ters," and he wound up by attacking the premier for having in his cabinet men accused of immorality and acts which offended public decency. The galleries were crowded, many ladies being present, when Mr. Bour- assa rose to his feet supported by a single cheer from Armand Lavergue. He declared that he was about to the clamor of public opinion The voice Nothing had been done by the gov- ernment since Mr. Fowler had made the charge of "women, wine and graft" against ministers, ex-ministers and members, and so public opinion was losing its confiderice in the integrity of the public men of Canada. It was said on the street thut there had been a saw-off because Doth parties were afraid of revelations. Mr. Bourassa declared that this par linment ought not to prorogwe until these charges had beet dealt with, and he quoted from the speeches of the premier and Mr. Borden agreeing t the session rhould not pass ant nye matter had been discussed. Yet after the press of the country had been de- claring that certain members were not fit to hold their seats in the house, and had been demanding an investiga- tion, the premier said there was ho- thing against these gentleman to in- quire into. He would suggest that a committee be appointed to clear the house and sec who the honest men were. Labelle dealt at some length with Senator Cox and the Canada Life,' quoting copidiisly from the insurance commission reffort, and he then passed on to the Hon. George FE. Foster and the Indepen- dent Order of Foresters. He de- clared that his desire was to give Mr. Foster and the others an oppor- tunity to clear themselves. Mr. Foster broke in repedteclly to denv allega- tions made by the commission. Mr. Bourassa quoted extracts also from newspapers, amongst them the Montreal Witness, which had condemm- ed Mr. Foster severely. The member for North Toronto gave an emphatic denial to the statements, whereupon Mr. Bourassa askéd why it was that last vear he had brought a member of the press gallery before the bar of ¢he house for a trivial offence, com- The member for pared with that of the Witness in publishing -- such "serious false state- ments He declared, repeatedly, that in the opinion of the public. there must have been a saw-off between the parties, and that certain members of the op- position were taking shelter "under the maternal the prime minister." He emphasized the necessity of hav- ing Senator Cox tried by his peers, He had been asked why he did not make the charges himself. His reply was that he would not give the gov ernment the chance of making him the scapegoat in this matter. It was the duty of the government to take it up. The liberal party had done it before, and could do it agin, and he remind. ed the house that when the liberals made a churge against a conservative minister of the crown, the conserva- tives had facilitated the enquiry by placing the depurtment of justice at their disposal. : 'Mr. Bourassa then turned to the premier. He was an admirer of Bri- tish practice in this regard, and he re- ferred to the fact that William Ewart Gladstone had turned out of his eab inet for immorality a man who was a stronger man for England than was for Canada any minister "who had heen placed on the stocks." I some- thing ware not done the whole govern- ment would be held by the people in the stocks As regards Mr wings of Fowler, he had said about Hyman. side to it, the public ought to know just why he resigned.

Not since the stirring days of the autonomy bill has the attendance of the general public been so large. There were some dr wtic spenes and the tension Was high until the talk got on to the back benches. The vote came at midnight and the house im- mediately adjourned Now that the "women, wine and graft" talk is disposed of, the pros- pects are all in favor of an early prorogation.

St. Petersburg, March 27. close of two days' debate, the lower house of parliament, yesterday after- noon, adopted the preliminary consti tutional democratic resolution provid: ing for the abolition of drumhiad courts-martial and instructing the committee to draw up and present a At the bill to this effect After the vote Premier Stolypin, who had just had an hour and a hall's conference with Bmperor Nicholas, announced the gov ernment's position. So long, he said, as "'the| bloody miasma of terrorism overshadowed the lund," the govern ment did not feel justified in with drawing entirely. such unfortunate -re- pressive measures, but orders had been given that drumhend courts martial, hereafter, should ha employed only in cases of extreme vital import ance. The government, added the premicr, expected the lower house to do its part in bringing about the tranguilization of the country which would enable the ministers to dis pense with such a procedure.
