Mr. Davies, in moving his motion, re- specting the rights of Prince Edward Island toa proportion or share of the Fishery Award under the Washington Treaty, said the Province entered the Union the same day the fishery claims come into force, and that the Island was entitled to a share, because the refund to the arbitrations was made before the Island came into the Union.

Mr. Brecken, and Mr. Tupper, of Pictou, spoke against Mr. Davies’ motion, and Dr. McIntyre and Mr, Hackett in favor of it.

It being then six o'clock, the Speaker left the chair, and the debate was not con- cluded.

their wisdum thought proper to withold their assent to the Bill for that purpose, and consequently those valuable grounds, containing some ten or twelve acres, remain idle. The building, he said, was ‘closed up, and deteriorating in value. The Govern- ment however had not the power without an Act of the Legislature to utilize this valuable property, which owing to the action of the Legislative Council, yields no revenue whatever to the Province,

To

The Retaliatory Tariff.

The Montreal corn exchange has been discussing the retaliatory tarifi imposed by Newfoundland, John Magor stated that Montreal’s exports to Newfoundland amounted to $2,000,000, and included 170,- 000 barrels of flour. The following resolu- tion was unanimously carried :—

‘That it is the opinion of this meeting that if the bill passed by the Newfoundland Gov- ernment becomes law, it will destroy trade between this country and Newfoundland, a trade which now employs, besides sailing vessels owned in the Dominion, two lines of steamers “running without any Government subsidy, and that this meeting urge upon the Dominion Government to take such steps as will remove the irritation so fatal to business now existing in the commercial community of Newfoundland,”

The following were appointed a deputa- tion to proceed to Ottawa to interview the Government on the matter. The president, R. T. Routh, G. H. Gould and J. 8, Norris, (flour trade); John Baird, R. P. McLea and John Magor, (fish and oil trade); T. B. Brown and H. Dobell, (steamship interests); aud D. J. Rees, (pork trade); with power to add to their number. in the course of the discussion John Baird said he under- stood that the duty had not been collected at Halifax at all last year, which was the first year it was ever imposed. Charles Gould said that if the recent action of the Newfoundland government was carried out, it would amount to prac- tical prohibition of Canadian articles, as it meant an additional duty of twenty or twenty-five cents on flour, about #1 a barrel on pork and fifty cents on butter packages, etc, This, it was unnecessary to add, was almost absolute prohibition on the trade of the Dominion. The Monirealers are fully alive to the importance of this trade.
