Chapleau's statement (that no Government |

printing was being dene outside the Ko- reeti, and declared that s ‘me Montreal firm had beew paid over $100,000 of a bill. Mr. Chapleau saiit that was for !

hthographing.

Mr. Somerville contraticted him fli''y, and declared it was fer printing. Me. Chapleau turned up the Audt General's

Report and showed in black «nd white that it wesfor lith graphirg. Mr. Somerville was then eompelled tu adinit that he had madea “mistake.” Mr. MeMullen felt called on to denounce the action of the Government for sending Prof. Ssunders, Director of the Experimenta! Farm, tu England to repert upou the egg trade. Mr. Fuster said the Government had not sent Prof. Saunders Mr. McMallen got furi- ous, and qustel from a report of Sir Charles Tupper where he spoke of Mr Sanders aud his mission ty Mugland. When Me. MeMu‘len was iuforined that Saunders and Sanders were two diff-rent men, he lucked fvelish and aat down.

Is the course of thiadebste, Mr. Fergu- aon, of Leeds, wade some remarks upon the egg trade with England, of which the ivllewing is the substance: He dec!sred tha’. as the result of recent shipmenis it hat been ascertained that the export of bth eggs and poultry to great Britain was protitable. Quantities of eggs had been shipped within the last six weeks, and re- taras made showing a profi’. Canadian eggs were superior tu most eggs placed on the British market from the continent of Europe. Ir was not the market nor the price, bat the lack of experience in ship- weuts which had resulted in the trade not being so profitable as it otherwise would have been. That difficulty had been cver- come and now Canadian eggs were being laid down in Liverpoe! with a smaller per- centage of breakage than in Boston: Sut the chief difficulty was in the oppositien to the trade shown by the grits, who were op- posed to any trade between Canada and Great Britarn Mr. Sanclers, after his return from England, had made a ship- ment of seventy-five tons of turkeys pur- chased in one week. He exported them at a bid seasen, shortly after the holidays, when the choice fowis had been all picked wut, yet they competed favorably on the Kaglish market, and the returns left him « tfespectable protit. The Opposition pa- pers had stated that these fowls had arriv- ed in # condition untit for toud, that they had been condemned by the meat inspec ters, and the venture had resulted in a heavy Joss. This statement was wholiy untrue, and the contrary was the fact. Mr. Fergnaon also stated that, withia the last six weeks, a contract had been made by a Canadian to supply 5,000 horses to one omnibus and carriage company in the city ef Londow. Wheu one company in English city could mske a contract for that supply, the horse export trade of Canida wes on pretty safe grounds

Asi have said, McMullen, Somerville and Malock ta'ked most of the afternoon and after recesa, Mulock, Somerville and MeMullen talked most of the night, re- peating all they bad said a few hours be- fore. Me. MeMu'len spoke 19 timer, and what he said occupied 639 lines of Hansard: Mr. Somerville spoke 32 times, but manag: ed to squeeze all he had to sey in 479 lines, while Mr. Mulock was on his feet no !e: 38 times, and tilled 787

At half an hour after mid- wight, sfter the Llouse had been sitting eight hours, and these three members had spoken only 89 times, and three itema of the estimates had been passed, an adjourn ment was made.

The Tarte-McGreery investigation Com wittee met several times last week and made some progress. Ishall not atrempt} any report of the evidence elicited, which was all on one side and bore preity hard's ea Mr. McGreevy. The investigation

promises to be ling and tedious and, be. yond the conclusions at which the conm- inittee shallarrive aste the guilt or inne

cence of Mr. MeGireevy aud the tmplication of Sir Hector Langevia and his ofticials, the details are uninteresting to your readers. The opposition press will readily seize upon any disclosure which may pos. aibly injure Sir Hector, and if they cannot tind what they want they wi'l make one to sut.

The Globe has been circulating a report that the Government were trying to in- duce ‘Mr. Tarte to confine his charyes against Mc. McGreevy, and to spare Sir Heetor.
