PAEEIAMENT AT WORK
MR. STATHAM AND THE PROGRESSIVES
NO-CONFIDENCE MOTION : ; REJECTED GOVERNMENT'S DECISIVE WIN ■ i was a busy day in Parliament. There were at least two important events. First of all a division was taken on the no-confidenco amendment of the leader of the Opposition, and the division showed the Government to have a voting strength of 45 on tho test, while the combined strength of the opposing forces was only 23. .Mr. Statham took opportunity immediately after the division "to move his amendment for an elected Ministry. In tho course of his spcech ho had some:.thing to say about tluAformer members of the Progressive Party who were now on the Treasury and he said it with the utmost clearness. These niem- ! bcrs refuted the: charges. All the discussion was oa this business, and not on tie merits of the elective Ministry idea.
