Debates and Proceedings,

Orrawa, April 9. After routine Hon. Mr. Tupper moved

| the third reading ot the bill amending the | Fisheries Act, which prohibits nets for

solmon in tidal waters.

Mr. Ellis moved the six months hoist of which he had given notice,and argued at some length against the bill.

Mr. Hale seconded Mr. Ellis’ motion.

After some debate Mr. Ellis’ motion was rejected, 72 to 108, and the bill passed at 5 o'clock.

The Franchise Act was further consider- ed in committee up to recess, and for an hour after. Davin’s amendment to apply manhood suffrage to the Dominion elec- tions in British Columbia and Prince Ed- ward Island was rejected without division.

The bill then passed as amended, and to be printed before it is read at third so that the House may understand fully the alter- ations made therein by the Minister of Jus- tice.

While it was passing through committee, Hon. Mr. Haggart moved the House into committee to consider his resolution as to postage and registration. He said it was proposed to alter its term in some respects. Che postage on dep letters would only be reduced to two cents in cities and towns where there is free delivery, the same as in the United States. Papers and periodicals

published less frequently than once a month will not be carried postage free.

Monthly magazines will, therefore, be car- ried free, while the postage ou seeds and general packages will be continued at the old rate of one cent per ounce.

The postage on photographs, printers manuscripts, music, etc., will be increased to one cent for each two ounces, the same as in the United States and Great Britain. He said it was further proposed to give postmasters power to compel registration of valuable packages or not at their option,

Mr. Jones, of Halifax, Mr. Weldon, Mr. Mitchell and some others opposed the doubling of drop letter rates in cities.

Mr. White opposed compulsory regis- trations as an arbitary interference with private rights.

The resolution was then adopted, a_ bill founded thereon and committed. After a long discussion the bill, as amended, was agreed td and will be read a third time to- morrow.

Hon. Mr. Bowell’s bill to amend the Customs Act was committed at 11.15 o'clock. A section was added to prevent the importation into Canada duty free of tea held over for a time in transit through the United States.

The bill was agreed to as amended, and the House adjourned at one o'clock.

ad NOTES.

Mr. Weldon’s bill to exclude American boodlers stands a small chance of becoming law unless it is pushed forward as a Govern- ment§measure, But two days at the most femain this session for private bills.

There is good ground for stating that Mr. Weldon’s method of procedure, as well as the principle of the bill; have found favor in the eyes of Sir John and the Min- ister of Justice.

The sense of the House is also opposed to reciprocity in criminals.

There is a feeling to-night that the House will rise next week. Business is flying through rapidly, but the Short Line debate may upset all such expectatians.

Another Big Blaze.

Boston, April 9. The freight houses of the Boston and Lowell Railway were destroyed by fire early this evening. They consisted of two brick buildings, 35x50, one three-and-a-half

and the other two-and-a-half stories high, connected _ by &® wooden building 150 feet long. ‘There were

also 35 to 40 freight cars, many loaded, burned. The buildings were filled with a great variety of general merchaudize, in- eluding cotton oil, vitrol, flour and_ thirty to fifty thousand bushels grain, which was all destroyed. The officials estimate that the loss will aggregate $500,000.

Scottish Home Rule Befeated.

Lonpon, April 9.

The House of Commous,this evening, 200 to 9 rejected Clarke’s Scottish Home Rule motion. Mr. Gladstone opposed the mo- tion in an animated speech. He said the question was not ripe, and that it would ob- struct the more pressing measures. He did not_doybt that when Scotland unani- mously demanded gHome Rule Parliament would accede to her desires.

Beauty {3 desired and admired by all. Among the things which may best be done to enhance personal beauty is the daily use of Ayer’s Hair Vigor. No matter what the color of the hair, this prepa- ration gives it a lus- tre and pliancy that adds greatly to its 4 charm. Should the hair be thin, harsh, dry, or turning gray, Ayer’s Hair Vigor will restore the

coler, bring out a new growth, and render the old soft and shiny. For keeping the scalp clean, cool, and

healthy, there is no better preparation in the market.

“‘[ am free to confess that a trial of Aver’s Hair Vigor has convinced me that it is agenuine article. Its use has not only caused the hair of my wife and daughter t

Abundant and Glossy,

but it has given my rather stunted mus- tache a respectable length aud appear ance.’ — R. Britton, Oakland, Ohio.

“My hair was coming out (without any assistance from my wife, either). { tried Ayer’s Hair Vigor, using only one bottle, and I now have as fine a head of hair as any one could wish for.”

-R. LT. Sechmittou, Dickson, Tenn.

“Tl have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor in my family for a number of years, and re- gard it as the best hair preparation I know of. It keeps the scalp clean, the hair soft and lively, and preserves the original color. My wife has used it for a long time with most satisfactory re- sults.’ — Benjamin M. Johnson, M. D., Thomas Hill, Mo.

‘** My hair was becoming harsh and dry, but after using half a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor it grew black and glossy. I cannot express the joy and gratitude fF feel.’’— Mabel C. Hardy, Delavan, Il.
