OR b 1 FERGUSON MW hid Toh OPPOSITION wi] TO SECURE FREE DISCUSSION BUT FAILED The Bill Was Rushed Through at One Sitting Which Lasted Until 4.43 O'clock on Wednesdny Morn. ing. Toronto, March 18.--The Ontario legislature passed through a session yesterday afterncon and all last night that will linger in the memor- ies of both participants and specta- tors as one of the most unique, one of the most extraordinary, and cer- tainly one of the most farcical that the house has ever witnessed. An effort on the part of the government to jam through, without opportunity for discussion, a bill indemnifying G. Howard Ferguson, member for Gren- ville, from forfeiting his seat for services that he performed for the dominion government in investigat- ing 'conditions. on' the Trent Valley canal, was resisted with remarkable spirit. by the opposition. The pro- ceeding was characterized by Mr. Rowell as "gag," "closure," and an invasion of the rights of the mem- bers of the house. For over two hours and a hall the government struggled to have the bill introduced and read a first time. For over two houts and a half Mr. Rowell and his colleagues successfully blocked all progress... For over two hours and a half the house was practically with- out a leader. The speaker seemed to have lost control, and points of order were raised to add to the con fusion. In vain Mr. Foy protested that it was a chse of reasonable ur- gency, but, objecting to his method of procedure, the opposition clung tenaciously until six o'clock. Cause of the Rush My.

A Compromise Offered Mr. Rowell made it clear as the de- bate proceeded. that he was not oppos ed to an indemnification in the ease of Mr. Ferguson alone, provided he ad- mitted his offence had been committed in ignoraliee of the Jaw, but he would not ugive to a eneral law being rush- ed through to that effect. He asserted that wewspapers hod repeatedly point- ed out that members of parliament have appeared before committees of the house in support of special legis- lation, which i= a felony under "the act, and inimical to the right of par- liament. Ne. MeGarry, on behalf of the gov- ernment, however, rejected the offer of compromise, declaring the govern- went would not be a "'suppliant" to the opposition. Then the fight went on in.

A force of federals is said to have met Villa's army at Escalon, an im- portant railroad town 100 miles uorth of Torreon, and both sides have been. reinforced. The battle is said to have raged fiercely all day to-day. The railroad from north through Escalon Chilmahua, and beyond. On each side - of "the road are mountains. These for ten miles are marked with rifle pits, dug in previous revolu- tions, 2 It is reported that the federals, whose number are unknown, moved out of Torreon in two detachments, pursuant to orders from Provisional President Huerta. One detachment is said to have moved over the plains west of the railroad, with the mountains between it and the road, while the main body went directly by rail to Escalon. The eastern detachment evidently was trying to surprise Villa's rear guard as it was moving in the direc- tion of Jiminez, which is fifty-five miles north of Escalon. General Urbana of the constitu tionalists, however, had been posted at Rosario to guard against such strategy, and last Saturday is said to have encountered the advance guard of the federals at or near that city, whieh is about 110 miles west of Jiminez. He is said to have been outnumbered aud to have tele graphed for more men and artillery. The main battle at Escalon, appar- ently. nicely timed by General Vel- asco, the federal commander, to oc cur after reinfércements had been detached to assist Urbana, is believed to have begun last night or early to- day.

Fallon would probably have signed an agreement tc that effect if he had been present. "Bishop Tallon, vehemently shak- ing his fist in the fact of Mr. Hanna at Sarnia in 1910, said that he would attend to the clerical agitators, though he could not influence the po- litical agitators, and he practically asked the help of Mr. Hanna so that the French would be deprived of their schools."

London, March 18.--Cenatia ana Canada's part in the imperial defence is the one great factor of comment in Ureater British nowspapers this morning concerning Churchill's naval speech in the commons. The question is asked what will happen to the Mediterranean squad- von if Canada's offer of dreadnoughts revived. The London Times says he only postpones fading this real emergency. The Manchester Guardian says: "So far as we can see this year's estimates may vom- mit the house next year to replace these lapsed Canadian ships at our own cost."

He could readily under- staid how a man could be sincere, and yet make some very wild asser- tions with regard to matters of dog- ma. But how any man, with even an ordinary preparatory school edu- cation, could have the nerve to stand up and deliberately make such pro- nouncements in the face of the stacks of historical evidence to the con- trary was, to. him, incredible.. Amd what he found still more inconceiv- abfe was that any ordinarily well read man could sit by and swallow such historical falsehoods. But, 'he said, here, as elsewhere,. the old pro- verb held true, that "St was an ill- wind that didn't blow - somebody good." And this latest exhibition of axinity on the part of the aforesaid preacher should be an, excellent proof of how equally unreliable were the calumniating pronouncements which he is accustomed to © make every month with regard to the church of Christ and her sacred dogmas, eaid Father McNeill. The remainder of the sermon was an eulogy of how the Irish race bad cared on the apostolic work of St. Patrick throughout the length and breadth of the world.' $25,000 FEE FOR JEROME FOR PURSUIT OF THAW Expenses in Connection With Pro- ceedings to Sceure Return of Fugitive Albany, N.
