MR. MAKTIN ADVOCATES ISLAND INTERESTS.

Queen’s Birthday a Perpetual Holiday.

Orrawa, May 4—The chief topic in the House of Commons vesterday was the old question of the appointments submitted to the Governor-General before the retire- ment of the late Government.

Sir Charles Tupper retaius his opinion as tothe unconstitutionality of the Gov- ernor-General’s course. But he particu- larly desired to ask what the Government proposed to do about the appointments that the Gover.or-General had approved. Mr. Laurier had said last summer that these appointments would be respected. But some of thuse persons, so appointed, have not yet received a commission of any kind from the Government.

Mr. Laurier replied that in cases where in action had been taken enquiry was being made as to the recessity of the appointment.

Hon. Mr. Foster, who continued the dizcussion, thought that nine months was raiher a long time for such an enquiry to continue,

Mr. Martin, of Prince Edwari Island, got the floor shortly before six o’cleek and when the House adjourned, was dealing with the c'aims of his province for assi:t- ance to railway extensions.

The bill making the Queen’s Birthday a perpetual holiday went througn.

TELEGRAPHIC NOTES.

Loxpoy, May 2—The Deven & Exeter Gazette says that Adjutant General Sir Redvers Buller will succeed the Duke of Counaught in command of Aldershot camp; that Quartermaster General Evelyn Wood will succeed Sir Redvers Buller as Adjutant General, and that the Duke of Convaught will become quarter-master general of the British army.

These appointments are likely to revive the criticism which raged at the time General! Lord Frederick Roberts was passed over in favor of the Duke of Connaught fur the Aidershot command, as Buller be- longs to the Wolseley set.

Sir Redvers Buller and Lord Wolseley were almost at sword’s poinis a year agu over questions of miiitary policy m India, as weil as of promotions in the service.

Cave Coast Casrie, Gold Coast, Africa May 2.—Grave news has been received here as to the mission of Lieut. Henderson, at Wa. = It is reported that Chief Samoriu has attacked the mission.
