DOMINION PARLIAMENT

Corrupt Pratioe —The Opposition 00 the Defensive,

AFRAID TO FACE THE MUSIC.

Some Points in the Treaty.

THE TARIFF TO

STAND,

Suppression of Combines,

Orrawa, Feb. 28. In the Commons to-day, — Mr, Laurier rose to a question of privi- lege, asserting that the Speaker had exceeded his authority in dismissing the French translators of the debates tor partizan conduct, and demanded that the papers in the case be laid before the House. The Speaker promised the papers to- morrow. Sir John moved that the Kent election case, in which Mr. Campbel! (Liberal) was unseated for corrupt practices be referred to the committee ot privilege and ele :tions as Judge Osler had reported that corrupt practices extensively prevailed, but had deemed further inquiry undesirable.

Mr. Laurier opposed the mosion on the round that the judge's report precluded urther inquiry on the part of the House.

Hon. Mr. Thompson contended that a recedent was involved as to what action arliament would take in the case of such special reports. In case a judge reports corruption to the House, the Speaker could Not issue 4 writ, but the House could do so or appoint a royal commission for further mvestigation, or possibly disfranchise the constituency: A judga’s report could not preclude action by Parliament.

Messrs. Davies and Mills supported Mr. Laurier, the debate ending in a spirited re- partee by Sir John and Mills.

Mr. Laurier admitted the Speaker could not issue awrit in case a judge makes a special report. “Then,” retorted Sir Johd, ‘‘the House should act with the ad- vice of the Standing Committee of privi- Ihges and elections:” Mr. Laurier was afraid to press a division, and the motion was carried.

In answer to Mr. Edgar's questions, — Hon. Mr. Foster showed that Canadian vessels do not usually pay dues from which the Treaty exempts Americans.

Sir Richard Cartwright attacked the Government for not proposing to revise the tariff.

Sir Charles Tupper replied that he did not expect to make any changes this ses- sion.

Mr. Edgar has given notice of a resolu- tion fora committee to suggest amend- ments to the law by which sugar and other trade combines may be suppressed.

The House adjourned.

BRITISH PARLIAMENT, CLOSURE IN THE COMMONS. Dillon's Witty Speech.

Lonpon, Feb. 28.

W. H. Smith moved in the house to-day the adoption of the second procedure rule which reduces -to 100 the ma- jority necessary to enforce closure.

Chaplain (Conservative) opposed it.

Dillon said the Parnellites might be con- gratulated by the House, or at all events by Liberals, upon having converted the Conservatives to closure. (Laughter.) The Conservatives put a rope around their own necks. (Laughter.) But the Par. nellites would get hold of it shortly, and when passing the Home Rule bill, would pull it very sharply. Even from a Tory point of view, it was a mistake to increase the stringency of closure by which the minority must suffer. The rule was then adopted, 256 to 134.

: Fire in New York.

New York, Feb. 28.

The Unien Square Theatre was burned this evening, and the Morton House ad- joining was badly damaged. The fire, which was a fierce one, threatened the Star Theatre and other valuable property, but they were saved with much difficulty. Several firemen were badly burned and in- jured by falling timbers. The loss is $250,000.

Letter Postage —Sugar.

Montreal, Feb. 28,

The Council of the Board of Trade to- day decided to memoralize the Govern- ment and to increase the weight of letters carried for three cents to one ounce.

A reduction of one-eighth has been made in the price of yrandulated sugar this week by the Montreal combination.

Stipendiary Magistrate's Court.

THERE was a large attendance of specta- tors at the Court this forenoon, snd considerable interest was taken in the proceedings.

HE WAS TOO DRUNK TO KNOW.

The first case called was that of ‘Thomas Prowse, charged with the larceny of a | clock, coat, and set of dental insiru- ments from the rooms of Dvctor J. 8. Bagnall. The Dr. identified the articles produced in court, and said that they had been stolen from his pre- mises some time ketween Mc nd uy nis). and Tuesday morning. His testimony was cor- roborated by that of John P. Murray, a student in his office, Officer Doyle testified to arresting Prowse on Kent Street, about eleven o'clock on Monday. night, and to finding all the stolen articles in his posses- sion, Prowse, he said, was very «lrunk when arrested.

Mr, A. Peters, who appeared as counsel for the prisoner, said that his client pleaded innocence of the theft, and said he was too drunk at the time to know how the stolen articles came into his possession. He asked for a remand until to-morrow in order that he might produce witnesses to testif y to his client’s good character.

His Honor granted the request, and the prisoner was accordingly remanded until to-morrow.

THE KOW AT THE BARRACKS.

The assault case of William Hamilton vs. Nathaniel Ward and another, was the next to be adjudicated upon. Hamilton, the plaintiff, who still wears his eye bandaged, } was the first to be examined. He said that vn Sunday night last he had gone up to the Salvation Army Barracks as usual, and had passed in. He had not got far in when he was overtaken by Orderly Ward, one >f the defendants, who was taking the collec- tion at the door. Ward collared him and told him he should go oat. He asked for an explanation, but was only tcld that he. would have to go out or be putout. He declined going out and Ward undertuok to put him out. In the struggle the two fell to the floor. Cadet Hunter then ran over from where he was lighting the lamps, and catching hold of him (witness), pulled him away from Ward, using him very roughly in so doing. He then went in between the seats, over from the crowd. Here he was followed by Ward, who had in the meantime, taken of his coat and placed iton the *‘saved” platform. Ward again collared him and tried te put him out. They grappled with each other, the benches were overturned, and both fe!l to the floor, Ward underneath. Cadet Hunter again ran over and taking hold of him (Hamilton), lifted him up, soas to admit of Ward’s getting from under him, and then vivlently threw him down again. When he was picked up he found that his eye was badly injured. He thought that he had received his injur- ies during his last rough handling.

Hamilton's testimony was corroborated by some half-dozen other witnesses.

On behalf of the defence Captain Ander- son was the first witness. He had seen little of the row, but was of opinion that the crowd which surrounded t he com- batants was very eager to interfere with the officers of the Army, in the discharge of their duties.

Ward, the defendant, testified that his chief reason for wauting to keep Hamilton | out was that he had disturbed previous meetings by talking and laughing during the proceedings. He did not catch him (Hamilton) by the collar as stated, but merely placed a hand on his shoulder and told-him he would have to go out. Had he gone out as requested there would have been no disturbance.

Cadet Hunter said that he was fixing up the lamps, and on hearing the noise of the scuffle went to see what it was all about. He found Hamilton and Ward down on the floor together, and pulled them apart. He then resumed work on the lamps, think- ing the row was ali over. In a _ short time his services were again called into requisition, the two having _ re- sumed hostilities. He caught hold “of Hamilton, and after lifting him up a piece was struck onthe head with a stick or umbrella and knocked forward. In falling forward he lost his hold of Hamilton, who fell to the floor. He did not interfere for the purpose of doing injury to either of the combatants—his only Cesire was to part the men and stop the row.

Several other witnesses were put on the stand to prove that Hamilton had been guilty of disturbing the meetings by talking during the proceedings.

Hamilton then called a witness named Rendle, who testified that he was a verv regular attendant at the meetings in t. barracks, and had never seen Hamiltoa act in what might be termed a disorderly manner. He (Hamilton) may have laughed low or whispered to a friend during the proceedings; but he was not the only offender in this respect. It was very hard tu keep from laughing and talking some- times

This closed the evidence.

His Honor, in delivering judgment, com- mented very severely upon the conduct of Ward and Hunter. Ke freely granted that the Army officers had every right to pre- serve order in their meetings and to keep out disorderly persons. In doing so, how- ever, they should take care that they did not exceed the law. In the present case the law had been grossly exceeced. ‘the witnesses for the prosecution all state that the conduct of the two officers in ejecting Hamilton was very reprehensible and he agreed with them. He would fine Ward $10 and Hunter $3.

Court adjourned.
