of the Bill divided the House three times in the fast balf-hour of business and during the final division wilfully obstructed, by dawdling through the lobby so slowly that, as: the teller. expressed it, at times the passage was almost deserted." When 5.30 struck, although the 249 supporters of the bill had been through the lobby several minutes, the, r44 on the other side had still not completed their melancholy procession. The "Noes " teller himself mport- ed the circumstances to the Speaker, who ex- pressed, his regret at the unusual, course” members had taken " but the motion to refer the Bill to a Committee could not be put, not- withstanding the large majority" in favour, These tactics are condemned on every side It would have been contemptible enough, had Nationalists, Labour Members and shameless obstructionists taken this means to gain their object, but that such unsportsmanlike and un- English conduct should have to be attributed"] to noblemen and gentlemen' of the old Con- servative party, makes the incident' infinitely more regrettable,

..

THE REMOUNT DEPARTMENT'S AFFAIRS have arroused a norm of indigontion in Partin. ment and together with the whole Contracts question forms the chief topic of discussion everywhere where men or women do fore-gather, The agitation for a full inquiry with all the cir cumstances connected with the purchase of horses for the Army during the course ofthe war has reached a point, when denial-if desired—is impossible.; Mr Brodrick conceded - at Tues- day night's debate that an inquiry was im-. perative and pledged himself to Institute one, ́but urged that the present is, not the time for any such action. The argument that most of the principal, witnesses are now in South Africa, is round and in one sense unanswerable, but so strong is the feeling called into existence by the disclosures already made of incompetence and extravagance, that it is doubtful if the Government will be able to resist the demand, for at least a preliminary investigation of the system upon which the Department in managed and by which the selectors of horses were appointed. One of the most peculiar features of the general blundering is that revealed by our military attachés in Vienna and Washington. On a matter upon which their professional knowledge would, presumably, be of value, they were never consulted, indeed the fact that horse-purchasing was in progress in the countries to which they ara respectively accredited only reached them through the newspapers. Both these gentlemen affirm that on learning of the work in band they telegraphed to the War Office suggestions re- specting means of purchase, agents, etc. buttheir communications were entirely ignored. Farwhat purpose we pay military attaches if their pro- fessional advice is of no segunt it is hard-to say, but the reason may be forthcoming when the inquiry is held. A military court will in any case, be convened, but the country.will not be satisfied unless the whole matter is thresh- led out by an independent Committes also. Captain Norton, M.P., formerly a Cavalry Officer, estimates the loss to the nation in the purchase of horses atone at no less a sum than £8,000,000.

A few facts reliably vouched for, and accept- ed both by the Department and its critics as in the main true, may be mentioned.

Captain Hartigan gave to a Mr. Lewison à contract to provide 3,000 Hungarian homes at £33,16.8 each. Lewison farmed this contract to a man named Hauser to supply these animals at Laz each any pocketed the difference amounting to £30,000. Sir John Blundell Maple affered to send to the War Office his trainer, an expert judge of horseflesh, a Vet. holding both English and German diplomas and a fueni linguist. General Truman de- clined the offer somewhat cavalierly, and des patched men to Hungary and America, some of whom were to ignorant of their duties, that they did not know what part of the anatomy of a horse is called its withers..
