'i‘l pityllielit of a sum ol' $15,000 was a nowlcdgcd by the cli- dorsclncnt on he buck.
It is clearly howil lliiit the $15,000
received from he G. T. P. Company practically malie up the cash upoll which the licwécompany known as the Bulletin Company, was financed. The report of the Bulletin Colnpauy shows that Ilou. Frank Oliver held 235 shares. and Frank Scott 150 shares. The balance was hold by a. dozen shareholders. Since that time the cup- ital stock has been increased to $75,- 000, and Mr. Oliver has increased his holdings considerably.
Tile evidence of Frances (I. Lynch,
an olllcial of tile Department of the interior. shows that at the time the G.

Mr. Ferguson in his report finds
that these three men, wliilo in tho employ ol' the Goverxluiclit, dealt in Indian lands. They acqlilrcd these lands by tender at a time when their poaltioiis would naturally give them an advantage ill tendering. The pro- .pcrty ln which they dealt was thc land of Blood Mountain Indian Rc- scrve. The evidence shows that sev- eral hundrcd blank tclidors were pre- pitl't-.d at Ottawa and taken to Toronto by Messrs. Smart and l’edlt-y, where they were filled iii slid forwarded buck to Ottawa. all but eight or tell being successful. Mr. Ferguson places the profits made by the three men at no less than $84,000. The report, on top of the disclosures already iuade of ulaladiiiiniatratlon of the public do- main in the West ulidcr the Liberals,
es uiade by the (Joilservatives when they were in Opposition but which the Liberals refused to permit to be investigated. The action oi’ the Gov-

LONDON, April 13.-The two gate-
ways into I-lungary still remain barred, despite tremendous hammering by the ltussians, and as Beskld Pass is the less important of the two,_strategic- ally. further advance into liuugary iaugs upon possession of Uzsok Pass. where the invaders are meeting with most stubborn resistance. Several days ago the Russians captured ii posi- tion which gavc them command of thc road leading to the rear of Uzsok Pass, blit since then the Tuctoulc Allies have elicckod the niovelliellt lil this direction. `
The iinporlziiicc of the Uarpatliiaii
operations is indicated by tho half- hearted actions reported from other gectlons ou the long eastern frontier, whore even the counter offensive in East Gsllclti. which was evidently planned to divert Russian efforts from the passes. seems to have been prosecuted with little energy. The peoples of the dual monarchy are said lo be greatly cheered by the number oi' German roliiforcemeiiiu pitssiiig through Budapest. oil their way to the (Jarpatlifan front to take part in the operations, wlilivli are now believed to he ln clutrgo ol' the German General Stall.
The campaign in the cant pivots on
Uzsok Pass. whore Austrians and Ger- mans are in such great strength that the efforts of lilo ltusslaiui to reach the Hungarian plallis are likely to be prolonged.
In the west the Freueli are appar-
ently satisfled with their recent suc- cesses botwecu the Mouse and the Lorraine frontier. and claim only to have come in contact-with Gennaii ontanglements iu this region. Ofilcial German reports assert that determined attacks by the French have been re- pulsed along this section.
Probably no session of the Brltlsli
Parliament since the opening of the war has been awaited with keener interest than the sitting which will begin to-morrow. _
A " dry" England, unknown except
for a period of two years. 150 years ago, is not beyond the possibilities. but the Govemment has given not' the slightest ofllclai lilnt as to what action may he expected in its determination to attack the problem of restricting the consumption of alcoholic liquor. Several days ago an opposition paper published a forecast of the Govern- ment plan, hi which was asserted the contemplated prohibition of all liquors exjeept light beer, which would be
maaufactured by the Government. Th production received some con- firmation to-nlglit from a Government organ, which declared that the eiitire business of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors is to become a Govemment monopoly.

PROV’L LEGISLATURE
Sympathetic Reference to illness of Mr. Jomes
Kennedy, l’A.L.ll.-Number of Questions Asked und Answered. Several Bills introduced.
in the province of Quebec have, in regard to wills, something of the same office and power as judges of probate. A will which is made in authentic form before a notary is extended in the regular books kept by him and the original remains in his possession while he lives. All these records are under the inspeetlonofthetlovernnient of the province, so that each notary, so far as hc establishes a recording device l'or the iiotarlsl acts that he docs, is on one side of his employment s. public ofllcer. A person, then, from. this province, dying in the province of Quebec and making a will in the autlit-utlc i`orm,puts that will on record with that notary and the original can never be transferred. This bill is fu- tcudcd tomectsucli a case and tomakg it possible to treat a certified copy of that will iii this province as if the original will itself could be taken and flied in the province. I have a letter froiu Hou. T. C. Casgraiu, Postmaster- General, wllo sets forth thc fact that the only method by which we can deal with the matter is in the way pro- posed.
The llouso then resolved itself into
(‘orninll.tee, Mr Doble in the chair, for the consideration of the bill, and after some time the chairman reported pro- gress and asked leave to sit again.
The PREMIER then tabled the

LONDON, April 13.-Reports of a
naval battle in the North Sea off the Norweglalrdoast are declared to bo unfounded. '1`he mystery of the gun- ilro heard near Bergen, probably, is explained. says the Daily Express, by the <'ni'rying out of special target practice by British ships. The fact thai ont- Norwegian steamer reports that ii ilritlsli cruiser warned the cap- tain lo hold as near the coast line as possible supports this supposition, as in the thick of an engagement the irriilsrrs wolild hardly have time to smul at wilrllllig iii this way.
