Parliamentary Notes. rearal very important measures hav Several y important measures have been introduced—notably that to regulate

the sale of land in the Northwest territories. Under it four registry offices are to be established, one in Alberta, one

in Assiniboia and two in Saskatchewan, and the registration of titles will be com- pulsory as to all issued after the passage of the measure, although it is made optional with holders of titles already in existence, whether they avail themselves of the advantages of registration. Registrars are to scrutinize claims and identify the property beiore issuivg the certificates of title, and these certificates are to be taken as conclusive evidence of the title. The transfer of land can also be accomplished by a memorandum of

sale, and the title consummated by registration of such, with the surrender of the outstanding certificate. This is

what is known asthe Torrens system. It affords at once security of title, aud ease and cheapness of transfer.

Hoo. Mr. Thompson made a decided impression by his maaner in introducing this PL. The Ottawa Journal (Inde- peadent) remarks that “the characteristic quality of bis oratory is clearness. There was yesterday in his addresses no muddling of the subject ; but the myster- ies of the Torrens system were rendered plais ia a very shori time, This, added toa pleasing presence, avd a smooth, clear and strong voice, make him au excellent speaker. The general opinion expressed yesterday after he had con- cluded bis speech, that he was a deciited acquisition to the House and the Government.

The Pariiamentary correspondent of the Mouireal Gazette says that * the impressiou he created was a most favor- able ove, aud the ringing applause wiih which he was greeted when be concluded his remarks, proved that he bas at once obtainwed the ear of the House. A more graceful, easy aud fluent speaker, judg- ing by his utterances this afternoon, will not be found in Parliament. He has a strong, smooth voice, which penetrates the chamber without effort, aclear aud distinct enunciation, and great facility oi expression. . He has, too, the faculty of expressing his thoughts tersely; getting at the root of a subject and of making his remarks readily understood. It was evideut that he impressed both sides of the House as a mao of unnsual ability, and he gives promise of becoming one ef the first parliamentarians of the day.’

A good deal of auxiety has been ex pressed concerning the cost of the Riel Rebellion, Sir Richard Cartwright set- ting it down, in his dogmatic style, at $10,090,000. But up to July Ist, 1885, the expenditure on that account reached $1,700,000, and from July 1st to March ist a further aggregate payment of §$2,- 286,980 has been made, or iu all a total of less thau $4,000,000. Some claims remeia to be settled, but it is almost cer- tain that the total cost of the Rebellion will not exceed half the amount estimated by “the great mixer and muddler.”

Petitions have been presented from nearly all the shipowners of the Dowinion requesting the passage of an amendment to the Canadian Shippiag Act assimilating our law to the Mer- chants’ Shipping Act offGreat Britain, in so far as it iscompulsory on all vessels to earry inextinguishable lights asa meaus Of saving life.

Mr. Chariton’s Bill for the punish- ment of seduction is to be again brought forward.

The two “ great parties” have en- gaged in a little parliamentary sparring. But the Opposition are evidently afraid to come 'o close quarters and hard blows until better fortified with the information of faets and figures.

Roport of the Boston Fish Bureau.

Bosron rejoices over the fact that her receipts of fish have “held their own’”’ in the past year “in the face of a large de-

crease in the ‘catch” of the fleet.” ‘This is held to be good and sufficient proof that “as a

market for the diflerent varieties of fish and asa distributing poivt, its facilities are unequalled.”

Low prices have been throughout the year the rule in most lines of fish; and strauge to say, low prices have beea accompanied by a comparatively small catch, The falling off in the codfish catch, is attributable in a great measure, to the withdrawal of several large Bank vessels from the codfishing business, on account of the poor encouragement offer- ed by the low prices at the beginning of the seasou, and not on account of the scarcity of these fish, vessels arriving from Grand and Querean Banks with fares averagiug larger than those which arrived from there during the previous season. While this is true in regard to the catch of codfish, the shortage in the catch of mackere! is attributable to the fact that they were not as abundant in our waters as during the season of 1884. While the catch of mackerel on the New Englaud shore has no: been as large in 1s 35 as inthe previous year, the catch ta North Bay, or Bay St. Lawrence, bas been larger, showing the mackerel were more abundant there the past year than in 1884. During the past season there — bean forty-four vessels from New

Bop melee Se ee huadred and eight duct . Gomer a ring the season of

1884, the number of barrels of Bay mack- erel inspected during the past season being 27,072, as against 19,637 tor the season of 1884. The catch of mackerel by the Provincial fleet, on the Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island shores, has been below the average in quantity, and this, in convection with the duty, accounts for the large shortage noticeable in the re- ceipts of foreign mackerel, which short- age has been mainly on the poorer and smaller grades of fish, which could not well afford to pay the heavy duties exacted, and which have been used for the West India markets, in place of sending them to the States. All fat mackerel have been wanted and readily taken by the trade. According to the most reliable authorities, the catch of cod at Newfoundland has been up to the average in quantity ; the receipts of cod- fish from Newfoundland, bowever, are not much of a factor in the fish trade of Boston, the most of their business being

with Spain, Portugal and Brazil, to.

which countries they send yearly enor- mous quantities of codfish. The Labra- dor herring fishery has been an excep- tional good one, large quantities of her- ring of good size and excellent quality having been taken, About 15,000 bbls. of them reached Boston market and sold at from $3.75 to $4.75 per barrel.

The number of the United States vessels employed iu fishing during the past year was 1,803, and the tonnage, 8,256,489.

—The Monetary Times remarks that Canadian business with Belgium and North Germany is steadily growing, and it is satisfactory in this connection to know that the facilities for freight and passage are increasing. Vessels of the White Cross line have long been plying to the harbor of Mon- treal from Antwerp. It is now an- nounced that the Hansa Steamship Line will also send its steamers to that port, the same parties being appointed agents for both, and they are prepared to quote rates of freight from Hamburg, Ant- werp and Rotterdam to Montreal, as well as through rates to points east and west. Steamers of the above lines will sail monthly from Hamburg and fortnightly from Antwerp for Mon- treal during the summer season. The two lines working in harmony will afford Canadian importers more frequent and regular opportunities of shipping from the above ports, and at reasonabie rates of freight. Four first-class steamers will be placed on the line at the openiog of navigation in 1886, and other stermers will be added as the trade requires it.

The New Post Office.

Mr. Theo. J. Clark has just completed his contract in fitting up the interior of the Summerside Post Office, and the Dominion Government architect, Mr, Sterling, is here to inspect the work and take it off his hands. These internal fittings are most elaborate, and appear faultless both in design and finish. The principal kinds cf wood used are oak and ash, and the work- manship looks to us as if it could not be surpassed, Mr. Clark seems to have aimed at no second-rate degree of excellence, and by using the very best materials, and none but picked mechanics, the work is sufficient proof that he has carried out his inten- tions. Another commendable feature is that Mr. C. is promptly up to time with completion of the job, notwithstanding that the work had been destroyed by fire when his mills were burned in December last. This had to be done over again at great disadvantage with respect to lumber and facilities for working it. Still no ex- tension of time was asked for, and without rush or hurry the contract is ready for Government inspection one day before the stipulated date—March 10. Much credit is due to Mr. Clark for having the contract finished on time, in the face of these difli- culties. There are 5636 lock boxes, each supplied with duplicate keys, not one of which opens two boxes; 52 of these boxes are of larger capacity than the others, and graded into three sizes.—Summerside Pioneer.

No means has been taken by the manu- facturers to push the sale of their ‘Myrtle Navy” tobacco, except giving from time to time a simple statement of the facts connected with it inthe public press. The large and rapidly increasing demands for it has been the result of the experience of smokers which these statements suggested. Their advice to business men is to advertise Jargely if they have the right article to Keep ap the advertise- ment with.
