That is what happened in Parliament Wednesday night. Arrangements had | been made for his Excellency the | Duke of Devonshire to attend at 10 o'clock. And then several snags were struck in succession. The ob- stacles which prevenfed the Govern- ment having its way of ws mpletely winding up the session beiore Satur- day's caucus were concealed in an avalanche of estimates that had been held over until the last day. The Commons had not nearly completed its work at 10 o'clock, and +it was evident that .it would be long past midnight besore the ses- sional programme was finished. Par- hament therefore observed tae country's national day by prorog- uing at 2.30 o'clock yesterday aiter- noon. The Senate grew tired of waiting for the (lommons to finish up and it' adjourned to meet one hour before prorogation, when it put through the business it took the Commons several hours wo pass. Liberals Prove Stubborn. Although ' members from both sides of the House were anxious to get the business through early, the Liberals refused to pass estimates without getting adequate informa- | tion.

Fo "We belleve this will lead to dif- ficulties between Great Britaln snd. the Dominion, and will lead to trou- ble between the United States and Canada," le declared. As a protest primarily against the Canadian: re~ presentative acting as British Am- bassador, he involved an amendment to reduce the amount to $50,000, the same as last year. Both Sir Robert Borden and Hon. N. W. Rowell defended the Govern- ment's policy, pointing out the need for greater freedom communication between the two countries.
