Protection of the Fisheries.

Capt. P. A Scott, R. N., will ba gazat- ted Fishery Officer under the Fishery Act, and commander of al steamera owned or

An Emphatic Contradiction.

The statement which has appeared in Grit orgens in the Maritime Provinces that the Government had abandoned the idea of prohibiting the catching of lobsters for three years till after the elections, I am authorized by the Minister of Fisheries to contradict in a most. emphatic way no regulations for prohibiting lobster catching having been at any time framed or contem- plated.

The Riel Question.

After introduction of - several bills, the House took up further considsration of Landry’s resolution of consure, Royal having the floor. He pointed out that Amyot was not entitled to much considera- tion, seeing that he had deliberately attempted to mislead the Houss or had been ignorant of what he was talking about. Royal contended that Riel had jastly paid the penalty of his crime. Gigault, who followed, condemned the Government for allowing tho sentence of the Court to be carried out for several rea- sens, which he gave. He acensed the Government of being influenced by Orange- men in other Provinces, therofore they disregarded the Province of Quebec when it pleaded to spare Riel’s life.

Wallace, of York, whothen spoke, said the whole cause of the opposition had been directed by the desperate position in which they found their political fortune. They wanted office, and were prepared to take any stick to beat Sir John with. Blake, in 1870, had made long and severe speeches, based on newspaper reports, and had, without waiting of official papers, moved that $5,000 ba offered for the capture of Louis Riel. Replying to charges against- the orangemer, he said there were about 2,000 Orange Lodges in the Dominion, and not more than six had ever brought the question of Riel up, or expreased any opinion. Not a single peti- tion had been sent to the Government to have Riel hanged.

After recess, Cameron, of Huron, mace a violent spesch, declaring Riel’s execution a judicial murder; that the Government contained greater criminals than Riel, ard stating he would vote for Landry's motion, House adjourned at the close of Cam- eron’s speech at 11,20.

Rieting in Terento.

Toronto, March 12.

There was great excitement on the streets to-day, and many heads, both of civilians and policemen, were broken. The police authorities were determined to see that the street cars were ran this morning. The first car was started from the stables, manued by twelve policemen, and from that time till about four this afternoon, when the cars were stopped running, there were continuous collisions between police and mob, A meeting of the City Council was held, and deputations were appointed to endeavor to effect a settlement, Their efforts were crowned with success, the com- pany agreeing to take back the men under the same conditions that existed prior to the strike and no questions asked, but reserving to themselves the right to dis- charge any found to belong to the Knights of Labor. Work will be resumed to- morrow.
