Ottawa, July 12.--A bill provid- ing for Government inspection of Canadian banks passed its final stage In the House and now goes to the Senate.

Garland, of Bow River, providing tht loans by banks in excess of ten per 'cent. of their paid-up capital could not be made without the un- animous approval of the directors. Conservative and Progressive lead- ers alike voted in favor of the am- mendment, and it was only defeated tured Discussion by 69 to 57, twelve votes from the Opposition side, (eight of them Pro- gressive) going with the Govern- ment. Another Progressive amend- ment was defeated by 94 to 42. The Glorious Twelfth Again.

"RCS" Would Vote ator Donnelly ou pudiates Communication, Ottawa, July 12. -- Before the Senate adjourned last evening, Hon. Gideon Robertson, on a question of privilege, drew attention to an anonymous letter which has been circulated in the Senate, and made the following statement: "I crave the privilege of saying a word on the point of personal privilege. About fifteen minutes before the House met today, an honorable member of this House came into my room and showed me a typewritten memoran- dum that has been circulated amongst some of the honorable members of the House. I have since learned that it has been suggested, in some quarters, at least, that I knew something about the origin of anonymous communication, which has been handed to the hon« orable members respecting a subject that was under discussion yesters day (church union). The type writ- ten memorandum is one that, to my mind, should be absolutely condeme ned, and that we should all deplore, as I am sure we do. It reads as follows: Watch how the R.C's Ilke Lynch-Staunton and Donnelly come out against union. That is inspired. You know the feeling in the west In favor of it. Can you not say a word to offset Gillis?" "This bears no address and bears no signature.

The name of the other ship has officials learn it was istry.

Ottawa, July 12.--In the discus- sion on the supplementary estimates H. C. Hocken (Conservative, West | Toronto) declared that to say a civil servant could go out of the govern. ment's employ, and get larger pay was "all bunk." The cost of the Civil Service should be cut by mil- lions of .dollars. The government should declare "a holiday for three years" and not add anybody to the service in that time. There was no comparison between the test a man had to meet in the Civil Service and that which he had to meet outside, "No man in the public service," he said, "has to show results, and Do man in private business can hold high office unless he shows results." Deputy ministers, said Mr." Hocken, went to work at 10 o'clock in the morning and went golfing at 3 or ¢ in the afternoon.

Relief may also be sought for the improvement of Di- vision street, concerning which fhe city council and. suburban commis- sion recently held a conference. In the discussion, it was pointed out that Kingston is saving a great deal by doing her own paving, In- stead of having it done by contract At the close of the meeting a questionnaire was prepared - to be sent to the government for explana- tions regarding highway financing The questions suggested ask what share of the provincigl highway is chargdable against cities, ,on what conditions the government has built permanent highways through places like Napanee, Spencerville, ckering and other small towns, and third, how are the charges assessed? Those present were Reeve Sibbitt, ex-Mayor Nickle, and R, H. Fair, of the (uourban Commission, Alds. Kida, Peters and Joyce; Dr. Sands, Auditor Muir and Engineer Dick.
