i The Speaker the chair at three | v clo k.

Mr. Taylor, rising to a question of privi- lege, said he was creditably informed and believed that Dr. J. E. Robertson, ber for King’s, P. E. Island, had, the past year, performed certain services | for the Government of Canada, namely : had acted as medical practitioner, attend- | ing upon certain sick seaman at the cut- | port of Montague, and had been paid cut | of the public money of Canada. He moved | that the matter bereferred to the committee | on privileges and elections to ascertain | whether, by such action, the member had vacated his. seat.

Mr. Laurier asked that the debate do stand adjourned, so as to give an opportu- nity for explanation.

Sir John A. Macdonald suggested that it should stand as a notice of motion, which was done.

Sir Richard Cartwright rose to move the following resolution :

importance to the well being of the people of this Dominion that the Government Parliament should acquire the power of negotiating commercial treaties with foreign

states. Thata humble address be presented to Her Majesty, praying that she will em- power her representative, the Governor-

General of Canada, acting with the advice and consent of the Queen’s Privy Council of Canada, to enter by an agent or representa- tive of Canada into direct communication with any foreign state for the purpose of negotiating commercial arrangements tending to the advantage of Canada, subject to the prior consent or subsequent approval of the Parliament of Canada, signified by act.”

Sir Richard referred tothe introduction of a similar motion 7 years ago, by Hon. Edward Blake, and contended that many of the excuses and objections then taken had been showntvo be unfounded. The facts, as we now know them, he held, com- pletely vindicated the course then taken by Mr. Blake. He was not one of those who looked upon Canada’s present condition as a tinal idea. This was ‘at present but a tad-pole sort of existence, which, perhaps, had lasted too long already, and which had

been intended only to pave the way for fuller nationality than we now possess. Canada was now responsible for the good yovernment of the whole of her immense territory. We could look for no material assistance from Great Britain in defending Canada if need. The

only true policy for England to adopt was to impose upon Canada the direct control of all North American affairs. The fact that Canada has to conduct all her com- munication through the English Govern- ment, makes the United States all the more ready to hurt us for the purpose of affrent- ing England. He believed that all the people of Canada, if made acquainted with the opportunities lost, the perils incurred, would support the proposition submitted, that we have the authority to manage our own affairs, and would agree with the spirit

of the resolution he now submitted. Hon. George E. Fuster said that it would never be charged against Her

Majesty’s Opposition in this House that they lacked variety, or wanted versatility of movement, and in proof of this he recit- ed some of the widely different cries used during the past few years. The latest rallying cry, the policy of Unrestricted Re- ciprocity, had been laid aside upon its dusty shelf, (Opposition cheers of ‘* No, no.”) or if not laid aside its advocates had lost the courage to openly espouse Reciprocity, but sought to get it by first putting our rela- tions with the Mother Country on a differ- ent basis, and trusting that the result ar- rived at would then be somehow or other be brought about.

Mr. Foster showed that in matters affect- ing the Colonies Great Britain had shown an inclination to deal and had dealt and more liberally, and with regard to the making of treaties. We had to-day dis- cussed their convictions upon it. When in 1882 Mr. Blake laid a proposition before

NOTES.

The debate on Cartwright’s resolution | Mr. Dav ies, not | having said anything worth replying to, it | was deemed expedient to let another Oppo- | sionist speak, but on no one rising, the | question was called and the House divided. Sir John says the statement telegraphed all over the continent that the Government intends inviting some member of the Royal |

head off annexation agitation is a pure in- vention.

Application has been made to the Gov- ernment for a Dominion grant for the Charlottetown Exhibition. Twenty-three | thousand dollars have been already raised | by subscriptions for ground and buildings ; and the Provincial Government has guar- | anteed a liberal subsidy for five years. Mr. | Ferguson, for the committee, only asks for three thousand dollars from the Gov- ernment which would be sufficient to guarantee the success of the show.

Hon. D. Ferguson, on behalf of the Char- lotttown Board of Trade, has urged -uponthe Govt. the advisability of granting a subsidy for asteamer to ply between Charlottetown, River John, Tatamagouche, Pugwash and | Baie Verte. Messrs. Dickey, Archibald and Wood, of Westmoreland, are support- ing the project.

The Canadian Pacific petitions Parlia- ment for power-to issue bonds or deben- tures on the steamships the company pro- poses to acquire. Said company will tender tor the fast Atlantic service.

LOSS OF

Harrrorp, Conn., Feb. 18.

At 4.40 this morning the boiler of the Park Central Hotel, which ran a dynamo and supplied power for the elevator of the house, exploded with terrific force, blowing out theentire front andone side of the house. The lower part of the main building was completely wrecked and all the stair- cases broken away so that every avenue of escape was destrvyed. The hotel was a tive story brick structure and had_ eighty bedrooms, all of which were occupied last night. The horror of the scene was increas- ed by fire, which immediately broke out in the ruins. Only one person in the main building escaped.

At the first force of the explosion Mra. Ellen Driscol), boarder, of New Britain, Conn., was taken out entirely uninjured, further than a shock to her system.

Larer.—Harry Shiffel, a commercial traveller, of Philadelphia, was taken out alive from under his bed, which was turned upside down by the force of the explosion.

The boiler which exploded was under care of two men, Alex. Chuer and Amos Griswald. They went off duty at midnight leaving the boiler to take care of itself.

The death list, inclading regular board- ers and. transient guests will reach between 60 and 70. The register of the hotel has been recovered from the ruins.

Harrrorp, Feb. 18.

Up to three o’clock 16 bodies had been. recovered from the rnins. Eight mea died and eight still live.

Mrs. S. Katchum, wife of the proprie- tor, it is thought will not survive, as she is suffering from severe contusion of the spine. Six dead transients have. already been identified.

Ten minutes afier one Mr. Ketchum, proprietor of the hotel, and his wife were taken out alive.

The force of the explosion
