granted are confirmed, and it is provided that the transfer shall not give,tothe Pro- vincial Government or persons claiming under it, any rights in respect to naviga- tion or to the sea cost and inland fisheries. Both the opposition leaders expressed satisfaction with the bill and it will pass without trouble. The expenditure on Rideau Hall, the Governor-General’s residence, caused a warm debate.

Hall is an old rookery which has cost the

ecuntry $650,000 to keepin good ordeand re- pairsince 1867. It would have been far cheap- er to have pu'led it down and erected a new building. The grounds are 85 acres in ex- tent, the buildings cuver 85,000 square feet and the extent of the roofs to be kept in repair is 96,500 square feet. It requires I 4, 180 yards «f carpet and 340 yards of oil | cloth to cover the floors. There are 273 | windows to be kept in repair and provide i'double windows for. There are 570 gas \lights, 120 fires, 6,840 feet of drains, 13,- | 600 feet of pavement, over 4 miles of fenc- ing and over 4 miles of gravel roads. A sum of $8,000 a year is al'owed for fuel and light and besides this, over $31,000 was spent last year in repairs and furniture. It is charged that a large amount of pecula- tion has been going on and that marvellous quantities of things have disappeared. Mr. Davies stated that a beautiful cut glass | pitcher, worth from $5 to $10, bearing the |Governmant mark, had been purchased in an Oitawa store for 50 cents. The Gov- ernment admit that the expenditure must be largely reduced and a new system of keeping the accounts, etc. is to be adopted iby which they hope to keep the annual exy enditure within $30,000, and thus save ' $10,000 or $12,000 a year.

Davies protested against the expenditure 'as utterly unjustifiable. Other cities which desired public parks and gardens had to | maintain them at their own expense. A

JUST OPENED—12 Cases MEN’S NEW SPRING FELT HATS, Chrisiy and prolonged discussion ensued upon the ex-

penditure on the Conservatory on Parlia- ment Hill. Commodore Welsh started the ball and plied the Minister of Public Works with question after question as to | whether it was true that the flowers were | reserved for the Cabinet Ministers’ tables. ' This Sir Hector indignantly denied and de- ‘clared he did not know where the flowers ‘went. Several members thereupon stated that the gardner had told them that he dare not give a flower away as they were regularly sent to the Minis- ters. The Opposition had Cecidedly the best of the discussion. Were it not that it is the capital, Ottawa would be nothiug. Being the seat of Government has given it importance. Millions have been expended in constructing public buildings—the civil servants and their families constitute about one-tenth of the populatiqgn—yet Ottawa cannot maintain a park or a flower garden, The taxpayers of Canada must pay for it. Even some of the streets and the bridges have to be maintained at public expense. Here I may say that the park is nothing ‘alongside of Victoria Park, Charlottetown, and the flowers cannot begin to compare with those on Queen Square.

Mr. Laurier, on Monday, moved in amendment to go into committee of supply, a vote of censure on the Government for having expended money on the survey of the proposed Harvey and Salisbury Rail- way after the measure providing for its construction had been rejected by the Sen- ate last session. Mr. Laurier gave a short | history of the measure, which, having bee

passed by the Cymmons, was thrown out ‘by the Senate. After the defeat of the bill, Senator Abbott, on behalf of the Gov- ‘ernment, had declared that no expenditure | would be male on the road until a vote of | Parliament was obtained. The action of |the Government in expending money on surveys was, Mr. Laurier contended, a ' violation of their pledge.

Sir John Macdonald laughed at Mr. | Laurier. The Government had expended no money on the railway—for there was no ‘railway. They had ordered a preliminary ‘ survey to ascertain the prcbable cost, etc., ‘and how could that be done without ex- | pending money? In dving so they had ‘simply carried out the views of the Oppos- ition, who, only a year ago, opposed the construction of the road until surveys and ‘estimates were obtained. Here Sir Joho ‘read the resolution proposed last session by | the Opposition, demanding that surveys be i made, and the names of the members who | voted therefor. Yet, these same geutle- 'men were now seeking to cen- ‘sure the Government for adopting the very course they had recommended. The situation, as Sir John presented it, was a very ridiculous one for the Opposition to be placed in; and while the Government !members enjoyed it, Mr. Laurier iidgetted ‘uneasily in his seat. He had been fairly caught, and no one realized it more fully than Mr. Blake, whe, so soon ashe per- ceived the trap his party had been led into, got up and left the House. Some of Mr. | Lanrier’s lieatenants came to his relief, but ‘the motion was defeated by 98 to 61.

In intreducing his amendment to the ‘Franchise Bill, Mr. Davies explained that lat the last revision on the Islaud some 200 ‘or 300 names were struck off the list be- lea use the voters had moved from one poll- |ing division to another. Ap lication was

alleged that horses, cattle and valuable furniture were appropriated to the use and benefit of certain officers. A Committee of Parliament has been granted to investigate the case, and the developments promise to be interesting. There is no doubt what- ever that loyal settlers in the Northwest lost their property—were plundered to use simple English—and that their property, which they placed in charge of the military for safe-keeping, was never returned to them. but is now to be found in other ownership in Quebec, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg. so far been able to find a remedy. The enquiry granted by Parliament is but the beinning. Bremner’s case is supported by prominent men in the N. W. who pledge themselves to adduce proof that will incul- pate parties occupying high positions in the social and official world.

One afternoon was taken up in discussing Mr. Charlton’s resolution to the effect that in all cases of elections where the Pro- vincil Voters Lists are of a later date than the Dominion lists, then the former shall be used for the election. The whole Fran- chise Act was again debated, but the reso- lution was negatived without a division,

Another afternoon was occupied in dis- cussing a motion by Mr. Fisher recom- mending removal of the duty on corn. He was taken in hand by Mr. Rufus Pope who made a hare of Mr. Fisher, Mr. Pope is a decided acquisition to the House. He speaks well and forcibly, and has a fine yoice, which can be clearly heard over the House. Mr. Pope proved that the price of farming land was higher in Canada than in the States, and that he could buy meat in Vermont, pay one cent a pound duty on it, and then sell it cheaper than the Cana- dian article, He declared that the farm- ers of his section instead of desiring free corn, desired a double tax on it and on imported meat. Mr. Fisher's motion was declared lost without division.

One of the notable occurrences of this week was the introduction of Dr, Mon- tague, the oft-elected fot Haldimand. A large crowd was in the galleries, aad the function was the occasion of much ap- plause, Last session, when Mr. Colter was introduced, Sir Richard Cartwright oifici- ated, and there was a great furore in the Opposition ranks. This session Sir Richard never raised his nead—the proceedings had no interest for him, and the whole Oppos- ition force were as dumb as oysters. Dr. Montague, during his previous session in the House, established «a reputation as an orator, and a dressing that he once gave Sir Richard is a bright memory with members on both sides, with none of whom the ‘Bengal Tiger” is a favorite. The Doctor was once a Baptist minister. He is a stout, healthy specimen, weighing about 245 pounds.

The Bills of Exchange and Promissory Notes Bill has passed the Lower House. It is an intricate measure, and I have not been sufficiently interested to follow it. After its provisions have been settled, ample time will be afforded the public to acquire acquaintance with them before the Act comes into operation.

From the annual report of the Fisheries Protection Service, tor the year 1889, we learn that the United States mackerel fleet in Canadian waters last season numbered 62 vessels, whose catch was 6,777 barrels. The number of men employed in the sea and shore fisheries of the Maritime Provinces last year was 6,159 in sea fishing in boats, and 34,167 in shore fishing m boats. The number of miles of mets in use was 1,153}.

Lieut. Gordon reports that great ditliculty is experienced in distinguishing between Canadian and United States fishing vessels, and suggests that the difficulty might be overcome either by Jicensing or otherwise controlling Canadian fishing vessels. These vessels, it is remarked, draw # very con- siderable sum in the shape of tonnage bounty, and it would be no great hardship to insist that a vessel, in order to receive bounty, should, in the interest of the more efficient working of the Fisheries Protection Service, be compelled to carry, either on
