close. The distinguished Islanders were well received. Gregor, Dixon, Martin,

McLellan and McPherson (from the Island) were among those present.

The classes at the College were larger last term than ever before; and the pros- pects of MeGill were never better. The Convocation was the largest ever held.

The quarter of a million dollars given by Sir Donald A. Smith has also greatly brightened the prospects of that Institution.

Dr. Anderson spoke at the graduates dinner, where he was heartily received.

Mr. McPhail bas obtained a_ position upon the editorial staff of the Mentreal Gazette.

ANOTHER REPORT. Monrreat, April 29.

DOMINION PARLIAMENT

————

Orrawa, April 30.

On motion of Sir John Macdonald it was agreed that hereafter the Government should take Wednesday as government day.

Hon. Mr. Chapleau introduced a bill to amend the Civil Service Act. He explain- ed that its principal provisions were to have only one examination in a year and to pro- vide several penalties for personation at ex- aminations.

Hon. Mr. Chaplean also introduced a bill amending the Dominion Franchise Act. He explained that it suspended the revision of the lists for another year, and made pro- visions whereby the printing of lists could be done at the Government Bureau.

Hon. Mr. Laurier said the bringing of all lists to Ottawa to be printed - would lead to endless confusion. He urged that the whole Act should be wiped out and Provin- cial lists used at Dominion elections.

Several Opposition members followed, saying it would be beiter to repeal the whole Act.

Chapleau defended the proposed cen- tralization on the plea of economy, and said he had been assured the Bureau would do all the printing required for one revi- sion of che lists for seven or eight thousand dollars. Mr. Mills of Bothwell declared this estimate to be ridiculous. The bill was read a first time.

Mr. Marshall moved his resolution in favor of a trade zolverien between Great Britain and her colonies, by which the pro- ducts of each would be accorded advan- tages over those of foreign nations. Mr. McCarthy seconded the motion, showing that only would our interests be better served by a commercial arrange- ment with the British Empire thau with any other nation ; but there was good rea- son for regarding such an arrangement 4s possible in the near future.

After speeches by several other members the debate was adjourned.

Chief Justice of the United States. Cuicaaco, April 30.

The nomination of Melville W. Fuller, of Chicago, as Chief Justice of the United States, is regarded here with undoubted satisfaction by leading men of both parties. Fuller was born in Augusta in 1833; was a classmate at Bowdoin in the class of 1853 with E. J. Phelps, Minister to England ; studied law at Bangor and Harvard Univer- sity, and began practice in Augusta in 1856.

Ottawa News.. Urrawa, April 30. Sir Charles Tupper gave notice to-night of a resolution proposed to authorize the Government to borrow $250,000,000 to pay the floating debt of the Dominion, and carry

' on public works.

The friends of the Irish Home Rule cause here are considerably agitated over the damper put upon the plan of campaign by the Papal authorities, and say they will not allow Rome to guide them in matters political. Vicar-General Routhier, in the absence of Archbishop Duhamel, had no fear but that the Irish would disobey the decree.

The Government will improve the quarantine service at Grosse Island to prevent the introduction of cholera this season. New fumigating apparatus, probably costing $120,000, will likely be adopted. This step was urged by the Provincial Board of Health recently.

L. L. Oliver, the newly appointed Judge of Prescott and Russel was sworn in to-day, by Mr. McGee, Clerk of the Privy Council. He leaves for L’Original, in a few days.
