Scoring on the Senate Needed Railway Hours of Work From Our Own Correspoudent. Ottawa, Dec. 12.--The debate on the address came to a sudden stop, yes- terday afternoon. The address was adopted by a vote of ninety-six to fifty, and the house proceeded to the .neral business of the session. The estimates were brought down. Just how it was that the debate concluded suddenly makes rather an interesting story. At the conser- vative caucus in the morning it had been decided that amendment after amendment would be brought forward and the address held up until the Hon. W. Pugsley got on his feet and made good the utterances concerning the opposition leader and his connec tion with the consetvative campaign funds in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, which he had made during the recess and at a public meeting in Ot- tawa. Mr. Pugsley has aroused the deepest wrath of the copservatives by his at- tack upon their leader, and their in- tention *was to bring the minister oi public works to task during the de- bate on the address. However, the government informed the opposition, to-day, that Mr. Pugsley would cer tainly not speak during this debate. Adcordingly, the conservatives called off their amendments, and they will LR 80 awail a convenient occasion, such as the passing of the public works' es- timates, or the debate upon the laws, when vicious nature amendment to the elec an attack of a most may be anticipated. Amongst the estimates pertaining directly 'and indirectly to Kingston are: The penitentiary, $192.200, which is an increase over 1907-8 of £2400.

Twice he has, at the cost of mach labor and worry, induced the House of Commons to pass an act to amend the Railway Act, in a man- ner to prevent trains running at a high rate or speed through thicaly popula- ted portions of cities, towns and vil lages. On both occasions the pro- posed measure has been thrown out by the senate. Mr. Lancaster, in a some what heated speech, asked the House of Commons to once more pass his bill. In doing so he criticized the senate, and quoted Hon. G. W.
