Victoria, Feb. 20.—The govern-

reading of its redistribution bill this
afternoon and the house has gone
into committee of the whole to con-
sider the same. . Higgins objected
to the firstreading of the bill, as
one clear day was required. He
was ruled out by the speaker and
appealed against the latter's decis:
ion unsuccessfully,

Amid cheering, Cotton: read a
telegram from Premier Laurier as
follows:

“Legislation to amend the exist-

be introduced,”

A prominent member of the gov-
ernment side today said the govern-
ment would, immediately upon
passing the redistribution bill, ap-
peal to the country.

Prentice, without the sanction of
the government, is going to intro-
duce a bill to repeal the eight-hour
law. . This will probably precipitate
