The Governor-General's Speech
Orrawa, April 14. At three o'clock to-day His Excellency the Governor-General proceeded in state to the Parliament House, and the members of the House of Commons having been summoned to the Senate Chamber His Ex- cellency was pleased to open the first ses- sion of the sixth Parliament of the Domin-
ion of Canada with the following speech:
Hon. Gentlemen of the Senate Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
It is my pleasing duty on the ope aing of a new Parliament to congratulate you on the general prosperty of the country and on the prospect of a coming season of peace and pro- You will, [am sure, gladly join with the rest of the loyal subjects of the Queen in offering Her Majesty your sincere congratula- tions on having reached tbe fiftieth anni- versary of her accession to the throne, and in giving expression to an earnest hope that she may be long spared to reign over her vast do- minions.
The prominent position taken by Canada at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition recent iy held in London had made the Dominion more widely and favorably known than _be- fore, and will, I have no doubt, contribute largely to its material progress by calling at- tention to the advantages offered by our country to the agriculturist and by attracting the capital necessary for the development of its great natural resources.
Negotiations between Her Majesty's Gov- ernment and that of the United States on the fishery question with respect to which my Government has been fully informed and con- sulted are still in progress, and will, we may be permitted to hope, result in an arrange- ment honorable and satisfactory to both nations. Meanwhile, the necessary provisions has been made for the protection of our inshore fisheries. The papers on this subject will be laid before you.
Your attention well be invited to the ex- pediency of establishing a department of trade and commerce, under the supervision of a responsible minister. You will also be asked to consider the propriety of making such im- provement in the organization of the depart- ment of Justice, Customs and Inland Revenue as will provide greater facilities for the des-
atch of the large and increasing volume of yusiness with which these departments are charged.
A measure will be submitted to you, giving representation in the Senate to the Northwest territories in addition to that which they now possess in the House of Commons.
Other measures will be laid before you, and among them will be found Bills for the amend- ment of the Acts relating to Governmnet Railways, for providing a better mode of trial of claims against the Crown, for the improvement of the procedure in criminal cases, and for the further amendment of the Chinese Immigration Act.
gress.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
You will be asked in order to provide against the possible interruption of the navigation of our great inland waters for an appropriation in aid of the construction of a canal to connect the waters of Lakes Huron and Superior at Sault Stearie.
The accounts for the past year will be laid before you, aswell as the estimite for the ensuing year. ‘They have been prepared with due regard to economy and the requirements of the public service. fTonorahble Gentlemen of the Senate :
Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
I commend these important subjects, and the others which may be laid before you, to your best consideration with full confidence in your earnest desire to promote the develop- ment and well being of Canada.

New Customs Regulation.
The Department of Customs at Ottawa have provided a new regulation respecting travellers entering Canada by railway or by steamer. Forms are supplied to conduc- tors of trains and masters or pursers on vessels. These passengers will fill up speci- fying what dutiable articles they have in their luggage and making oath thereto. This will obviate the loose and unpleasant search heretofore in operation, unless the passengers prefer the old plan when of course, his bargage will be searched. The senior member of a family may, if suificient- ly acquainted with the contents of the bag- gage of the whole party, be allowed to in- clude all such baggage in one. entry. Goods subject to duty not excéedimg $6500 may be passed under the new arrangement. Jewelry that has been worn for at least six months as personal ornaments may be ad- mitted free of duty. Wearing apparel in actual two months’ use by the passenger, and not excessive in quantity or inappro- priate to the passenger's rank, sex or general financial standing may be admitted free. In the case of travellers arriving in Canada with the intention of passing through or remaining for a limited time the rules are to be interpreted in the most liberal sense. These regulations are rendered necessary because retail dealers complain of goods in excess of requirements, and sometimes sold after arrival, have been admitted faee of duty under the old system.

Seare at Ottawa.
Every one is anxiously enquiring why the Governor-General has insisted on hav- ing the galleries cleared and closed while he is on the floor of the Senate on the open- ing of parliament. An official notice has been published in which it is~ stated that to avoid confusion the _ galleries of the Senate will be closed |. while the Governor-General is in the chamber. This step has never been taken before in the history of the Dominion, and the announcement that hundreds who have been looking forward to this great event are to be denied the pleasure, has naturally caused much comment as to the actual rea- son why the notice was issued. It certainly can bear but one construction and that is that the public have been excluded from the galleries as a precautionary measure, and to prevent any attempt that might be made to do bodily harm to his excellency.
