Hope to Be Able to Prorogue Be- fore Easter--Various Bills Were Introduced amd Passed Along--Referring to the Death of Dr. Barr. Special to the Whig. Ottawa, Nov. 20.--Although tho esti- mates were only brought down on Thursday, the house commenced the task of considering thom yesterday, and spent the greater part of the afternoon and the whole of the evenr ing in dealing with the items for civil government. This tondency on the | part of members on both sides of the {house to settle down energetically | thus carly in the eession to the real business of parliament, is taken as an | indication of the general desire to sbring the business of the sessign to a close as carly as possible. The gov- ernment is hopeful, that if all Zoos well, prorogation may take place be- foro Kaster. At tho opening of the session, Nir Wilfrid Laurier announced tho sudden death of Dr. Barr, of Dufferin. Sir Wilirid said he had had a short con- versation, yesterday, in the corridor of the house with Dr. Barr," who seemed. in perfect health. "Dr. Barr was an old and very much respected member of this house," said Sir Wil- frid, "and we, on this side of the house, will join with the members of his own party, in tondering our con dolences to -his family in their bereavement." R. L. Borden paid a tribute to Dr. Bart's fine personal qualities. *'He hac a long career as a public man; he was consecioniious and indefatigable in the performance of his duties," said Mr. Borda. He said that until 5 late {hour, on. Thursday night, the member for Dufferin had eppeared in the best of health. | The carly part of the afternoon was taken up with the. introduction of bills. One of them, which provides for the cxecution of condemned pris- instead of in | county jails, has for its object to de { cronse tha amount of morbid curiosity | too frequently avinted in such pro- | ceedings. Mr. Fisher introduced his bill to prevent. the introduction or spread of pests destrugtive to vegetation, and {tho resolution to provide for the pay- jment of compensation for matter de- stroyed, for the appointment of in- spectors and | for the imposition of penaltics for the contravention of the act, was passed. | Mx. Graham introduced two bills re- i lating to the Intercolonial railway. The first empowers the minister of railways to negotiate fof the lease of |bragwh lines which the managing board of tha Intercolonial railway Tho lines must chief engineer to for operation, must be approved by be certified by the be in good condition and the lease parliament. Mr. Graham's second bill reduces the time necessary for employees to acquire the right to share the Benefits of the Intercolonial railway provident fund. Mr. Fisher introduced a 'bill to make alfalfa subject- to the seed control act. N Mr. Sharpe (North Ontario) propos- ed an important amendment to the bank act. It provides that where for six years dividends on bank stock have not beéen claimed, the stock and dividends shall be turned over to the government as trustee. It proposes a similar course in regard to deposits unclaimed for six years. In the event of a claimant spleuting and making good his claim, the government is to pay over.the principal with accrued in- terest at three per cent. Mr. Lewis (West Huron) introduced a bill to abolish the custom of executing condemned -- prisoners in_county jails. It proposes that executions shall take place in penitentiaries, because in that way exhibitions of morbid public in- terest and excitement will be avoided. The samé measure provides heavy pen- alties for the carrying of offensive weapons. Another bill, presented by Mr. Lewis, seeks to impose penalties {upon chauffeurs, through whose ng {glect people ave injured in automobile accidents. The remainder of the day was spent in supply.
