DOMINION PARLIAMENT CHIGNEGTO SHIP RAILWAY.

—— —— - ——

The Time Extended.

Orrawa, April 19.

In the House of Commons after recess, —

Sir Charles Tupper moved the second reading of the bill extending the time for the completion of the Chignecto Ship Rail- way.

Messrs. Jones, Welsh, Ellis and Edgar expressed regret that the Government con- tinued to countenance the scheme and thought it should be dropped.

Sir Charles defended the bill, showing that the House, six years ago, committed itself unanimously on the scheme, that the bill asked for no money, and that under the charter the Government would not be called on for a single dollar until the rail- way was completed and in operation for a

ear.

Sir Richard Cartwright thought that as the time allowed for the completion of the work would expire in July, the Govern- ment should take this opportunity of get- ting rid of the public obligations in regard to it.

The House dividel on the motion for its second reading, which was carried by 84 to 52.

THE EMPEROR FREDERICK, His Condition Lass Favorable. THE WORST FEARED.

Berry, April 19.

According to jrustworthy information the’ gravest fears are entertained of the speedy ending of the Emperor's disease. It is apprehended from his present condition that death will ensue within a week

Lonpon, April 19.

The following despatch was received by the Exchange Telegraph Company :—

‘* Ber iy, 2.30 p. m.—The condition of the Emperor is less favorable; he,is losing strength and general belief in his approaching death is gaining ground.”

Berury, April 19, 9.30 p. m. The Emperor has not left his bed to-day.

The accounts of his suffering are distressing. He said to Chaplain Guoegle: ‘‘ You pray for my preservation ; rather pray for my release.” He perseveres in the transaction of business, and does not cease writing.

On the whole, the Emperor 1s less feyer- ish than yesterday. In the course of the day a large quantity of pus was discharged. His breathing is now more quiet.

THE SCOTT ACT. A WATERLOO. Every County Rejects it

Toronto, April 19.

The Scott Act suffered a Waterloo to- day in Ontario. The repeal of the Agt was carried in eyery county in which it was voted upon to-day ; and tpe result is looked upon as a sign that the Scott Act must go. Dundas, Stormont and Glengarry, which had adepted the Canada Temperance Act by a majority of 1,706, to-day wiped

out that vote, and gave a _ majority of 2,500 for repeal. Bruce _— prac- tically reversed its former figures.

In every instance the majority for repeal was a decisive one. The following are the majorities for repeal: Bruce, 1,400 ; Dut- férin, 795 ; Dundas, Stormont and Glen- garry, 1,706; Huron, 1,653; Norfolk, 1,037 ; Renfrew, 730 ; Simcoe, 1,183.
