Dominion House in Long Session.

Ottawa, Ont., April 8. —The house of commons has been sitting continuously since 3 o’clock Monday afternoon in discussing the Manitoba school remedial bill. No progress was made. It is thought that the house will continue to sit, without adjournment, until midnight on Saturday night. Some rather boisterous scenes occurred in the bar of the restaurant during the present and previous recent prolonged sittings of the house. The matter was brought up by Sir Richard Cartwright, who characterized the scenes as disgraceful and declared that the bar should be abolished.
