A CLOSURE BILL. LIBERAL OBSTRUCTION. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 10, 1 op.m. Ottawa, April 9. Mr. Borden has introduced a Closure Bill with the object of ending the Liberal obstruction. He pointed out that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, previous to the last election, pledged himself to a Closure Bill, in order to enable the House to transact business without being at the mercy of a minority.
A scene arose when Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Hon. J. D. Hazen attempted to speak simultaneously, the Speaker giving Sir Wilfrid Laurier preference, and the blouse voting f iu Mr. Hazeji's favour. Cries of "shame" prevented Mr. Hazen's speech being audible. ' The uproar ceased when Mr. Hazen ended.
