Dobell addressed a meeting ot his electors on Siriirday night in Montcalm market hill, and talking of the fast line cftrns-Atlantic Steamshipi _ told them that he was about to sail again for England to attempt to put the scheme through.

Mr. Dobell only made a passing ref-_
erence to the Joint Commission. He could not say what the actual results would be. but lie was certain, from the reception aczorded the C inadians in Washington, and from much el se that he had seen there, that the two nations would be better friends afer the Confer- ence than they had been before it. and that much good would result to Canada in consequence.
The hon. gentleman referred to the de-
velopment that was going on in ~the \Vc-'st by means of the Crows`s Nest Railway, and said that while he would not criticise the action of the Senate
in preventing the construction of a through route to the Yukon,he was very
ing up of the country. He defended the Klondike royalty often per cent. which yie`ded the Government $S00.000,and which was yet but 11 trifil- ing tax upon miners.manv of Whom had become millionaires inthe space of a few mouths.
