CANADA’S NAVAL POLICY.

EXHAUSTED LEGISLATORS. United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Ottawa, March 6. The House is still Bitting, having completed sixty hours’ continuous debate. Members can scarcely whisper. Relays are taking eight hour shifts to enable the Opposition to proceed. Government is faeing the alternative of going without supply or adjourning the Naval Bill for a week. Mr Borden announces his intention of introducing a measure restricting the debate, but it will be ineffective as the Liberals will he able to obstruct this on the same lines as they are now obstructing the Navy Bill. It is believed that the only outcome will be another election.

Members fire sleepiag os their seats and prolonging speeches by reading newspaper advertisements and telling stories, mostly irrelevant to the debate.
