INTENSE INTEREST SHOWN When Midnight Arrives the Prime Miniiter Moves the Adjournment of the Debate and.Tells Sir Wilfrid 'Laurier, In Reply to a Question, That the dame Subject Will Be Dealt With at Sitting To -day. OTTAWA., March 10. --"With ply honorable friend's permission, I move that the committee rise, report pro- gress, and ask leave to sit -again." Within thirty seconds of midnight Saturday, after 129 hours of conthau- ous sitting of Parliament, Premier Borden, amid. Liberal cheers, that temporarily terminated one of the 'ost dramatic deadlocks in the Par- liamentary history of Canada. Mr.• Frank Carvell, who had the floor at the time, promptly acquiesced, and themotion carried. In answer to . a question irom Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier Borden said the naval bill would be resumed on Monday. • The steadily growing gaid intense public ifiterest in the great eonstitu- genet struggle between Liberaliem •aud Conservatism was manifested in the great crowds which thronged the galleries all night and the hundreds who found it impossible to reach the galleries and waited in the corridors. It was the largest crowd which has visited Parliament in Tears, and con- siderable excitement wile manifeest. The closing scenes were typical of the whole week. Right up to the Inet minute the Liberal speakers were. pouring 'in argument and demands for explanation asd information from Goverument, winch refused both. During the filial hour Mr. Carvell had repeatedly pointed .out inaccuracies in the statements submitted by the Government as to the cost of con- struction of naval vessele both in Britain and in Canada. The scanti- ness of the information given wa.s only exceeded in some cases by what the New Brunswicker termed. as "absolute nonsense." Twice Pre- miee Borden had to explain that there had been clerical mots in the state- ment he had presented to the House, or else Hansard had misreported him. Messrs; E. W. Nesbitt, W. 13, White, J. a. liaglies and C. A. Wilson spoke during,/the morning- and early after- noon hours. Mr. Duncan C. Ross, who followed, dealt particularly with the constitutional issue at stake, de- claring that the vital principle for which Liberalism had contended dur- ing the past half century, viz. the right of self-goventinsent, was at issue. ler. W. M. German (Welland) who followed, contended that the confeder- ation of the Empire could not be brought about by brute force througe the action of a temporary majority in Parliament actuated by motives of mere political expediency. It must be of slow and not forced growth, "broad based upon the peoele's will,'' he said. He alsodeclared that he strongly suspected the sincerity of the jingoistic Imperialist. Perhaps out of it might grow a peerage for Sir Thomas Shaughnessy under the title of Lord Milwaukee. Premier Borden might blossom into the Duke of Hali- fax, and there might even be a Vis- count Rogers. Hon. Jacques Bureau, who followed, taunted Hon. Mr. White, who has not yet spoken on the naval bill. He sug- gested that if the Imperialists were really sincere in wanting to bring home to the people the emergency • and the educational benefits of con- tribution to Britain they would adopt his suggestion of taking up a popular subscription. That would bring the question hom to every taxpayer, he said, and would affoed a splendid measure of the devotion I1 these flag- wavers to the.eause of Imperial feder- ation. Mr. Pardee, the chief Liberal whip, who followed at night, quoted Premier Bordet as saying at .Lindsay. in 1903 that Canada was going, step by step, towards eomplete autonomous nationhood. Now because of a political emer: gency Premier Borden was going back to the olcl plan of centralization and stultifying all his previous • declara- tions, declared Mr, Pardee. "We are lip -loyal, pocket -loyal, political -ex- pediency -loyal. but we are not loyal enough to eetaolish our cfem ship- Tartie, build our own brawn and blood • to man them," said Hon. 11. R. Eminerson followed with a demand for information as to the reasons Inc Preinier Borden's, "change of front since 1909," and for an ex- planation of the discrepancies which, , he said, had been ah•eady noted by the Opposition in regard Id the cost of building naval vessels. The concluding speech was deliver- • ed by Mr. Carvell (Carleton, N.I3.) who disputed the estimates of what .it would cost to Medd a Canadian navy, furnished to the House 1 y the Prime Minister and Hon, J. D. Hazen. "The figures upon witialt the Prime Minister relies," Mr. Carvell said, "roust have been furnished to him by a man suffering from delirium tre- mens.." By this time it was approaching midnight, and the House had filled up rapidly. The Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier and many members were in evening dress, seal the gal. Ieries were crowded. The Censerva- sive members began to "jolly" Mr. Carvell, who appealed to the chair- men fot protection. Deputy Speaker Blondin protested he was ding the best he could, which Mr. Carvell disputed. , Mr. Borden: "Yoh do not want to speak 'on Sunday mornirig?" Mr. Carvell.: "Certainly not." ' Mr. Borden: "Then I move the committe,e rise, report progress and ask leave to sit again."' Sir Wilfrid Laurier: ."What busi- ness on Monday?". a Mr. Borden: "The same bigness." (Applause.)

S. Secret Service Men Of- ficially Corroborate Stories. PRES. HERTA CONSENTED Agents of U. S. Government Declare ' That an Officer of Hu'erta's Foeces Plied the Red -Hot Iron Which Wes Used to Make Gustavo Ma- dero's Death as Horrible as Possible — Suarez Suffered. GALVESTON, Texas, March 10.— Agents of the United State's secret,. ser- vice who have been investigating con- ditions in Mexico have made a report to the Goiminment in Washington in whieh they verify practically in every detail the story told by- Raoul and Ernilo Madero, two of the younger brothers of the slain President, Fran- cisco I. Madero, jr., concerning the torture and mutilation of President Madero and his brother Gustavo. These tertures, it is stated, were inflicted with the consent, if not at the actual direction, of Gen. Victor- ian° Hueria, now the President of Mexico, and until the day of Madero's arrest supposedly one of Lis most loyal friends. When he turned against Francisco Madero, Huerta, it is said, became an enemy so bitter that there was no indignity or torture that he made the slightest effort to save the Macleros from suffering. It is even reported that it was an officer of Hnerta's forces who handled the hot iron used in rendering the death of Gustavo Madero as horrible as it was possible to make it. It is not 'stated Meat Fran- cisco Madero suffered the tortures of the hot iron, but he did suffer from other tortures that, while not so hor- rible probably, were nevertheless ass inhuman and savage in their concep- tion, Pino Suarez, the murdered vice-president, was likewise the victim of the inhuman anger of the madden- ed Huerta-Diaz partisans.

When the back aches or becomes weak it is a warning that the kidneys: are affected in some way. Heed the warning, cure the back and dispose of anychances of serious kidney trouble following. Mr. C. Grace, Hamilton, Ont., writes: —"I wee euffering with a lame back, and for two weeks was not able to straighten up to walk, and hardly able to sit down for the pains in my back, hips, and legs. I had used different kinds of pills, plas- ters, liniments and medicines, without any relief. One day I read about Doan's Kidney Pills and decided to try them. Before I had half a box use,d I felt a great deal better, and by the time I had used Iwo boxes, I was cured.

The following amendment to the amendment was moved by Mr. T. H. Lennox: "This House desires to put on record its appreciation of the good work done by the present Government and the Province clueing the past eight years by the earnest, faithful, and non-parti- san administration of the liquor license law, and the desirable and effective improvements which have., been added thereto; and this House depreciates the attempts that have been made and are being made by interestea persons to bring what has , been ,called the temperance question into tbe arena of party politics." Other Addresses Dr. McQueen charged partisan in- •terference with license adminietration at. the lest election in North Went- ' worth. He said the license inspector approached all the doubtful electors. The evils of the liquor traffic were to be curtrieed by educating, the children, by influencing public opinion and by legislative restrictions. Legislation had already done much in individual communities to curtail evils of drink, Why shohld not these benefits be ex- tended to the entire Province, he asked? If partial restriction is good why not make It complete? Mr. C. R.

The next amendment was the ventila- tion clause. Mr, Rowell moved to have the word "reasonably" as applied to keeping the air pure struck out. "Reasonably," he thought, left it too open. This was voted down as was also Mr. Proudfoot's amendment that a child should not be permitted to clean machinery.

According to Dr. McQueen, the poorer classes have suffered from high cost of living, and now the middle classes are beginning to feel the pinch. His inotion says, in part: "That in view of the rapid and unprecedented in- crease during tbe recent years in the cost of living, and the difficulty which many citizens of the province conse- quently experience in provicline; them- selves and their families with the necessaries of life, it is the duty of the government to appoint a thor- oughly competent commission to in- vestigate the cause of Alcheincrease In the cost, and to report to the house whether any, and it so what measures cart be taken by the government to- wards remedying and improving exist- • ing conditions in this regard." Dr. McQueen believes that combines are largely' the causes of the high prices of this necessaries, which exist to -day. He criticised the government for allowing the Stamped Wate As- sociation to still do business in de- fiance of the law. He believes that the commiesion, 11 appointed, should Investigate the question of combines, end find how many there are in the province.

That is the re- markable position of the provincial finances to -day after eight years 'of this Government," said Hon, I. B.

Other facts gleaned from hie speech are is follows: Estimated receipts for coining yeac. with cash balances, $10,985,450; esti. mated expeditures, including those On capital account, $10,484,018; .actual surplus of present Government in eight years, $1,142,740; increase in revenue last year over 1911, $671,U0.); Government's expenditure has rioen from $5,000,000 In 1904 to over $10.- 000,000 in 1912; receipts from T. ke. 0. last year were $510,0G0, as compar- ed with $5,000 less in the pre-elm:a year.

ONTARIO RAILWAY BOARD Mr. Rowell and Sir James Not Agreed on Public Confidence In it Mr. Rowell thought that no appeals on questions of facts should be taken to the LieutenanaGovernor in Council from the decisions of the Ontario Rail- way and Municipal Board. The Board should be so constituted that its de- cisions would have the supeort of pub. 110 confidence, So far he thought that the board had not enjoyed the Celia - dance of the people. He also thought there should be SOMe understanding, if possible, with the Federal Govern- ment to prevent a conflict of jurisdic- tion with the Domianou Board of Rail- way.
