THE SUPPLEMENTARY ESTIMATES.

Orrawa, April 23. Last night Mr. Kenny, of Halifax, call- ed the Government's attention to the state of the Magdalen Island service. After routine this afternoon the Copy- right Amendment Act and Wallace’s biil to | suppress combines were read a third time.

From four till six o'clock Mr. Weldon’s Lxtradition Act was dis- cussed in committee of the whole. While

the preamble of the measure was not as- sailed, several speakers uttacked its details. After recess Mr. Lavergne moved tu strike out the retroactive clause on the ground that it would affect many who, since coming into Canada, had led honor- able lives. Mr. Lavergne’s amendment was carvied ; by a rising vote by quite a majority. Mr. Weldon then amendéd the bill so as to provide that when extradition is asked | it shall be ace nied by an understand ing that the party shall not be tried on | any charge save that on which extradition | is asked. Clause 16 was dropped and some matters | of detail amended, tle committee rose, and the bill was read a third time as amended. Hon. Mr. Foster submitted the supple- | mentary estimates for the year ending June, 1889, this afternoon, amounting to $1, 313,757.54 of which $131,554 is charge- able to capital and the balance to income. The P. E. Island items are, to pay P. E. I. members for shortage in travelling expenses, 1887-88, $110; Charlottetown Dominion Building, for introduction of water, $500; improvements to Summerside public build- ings, $900; Charlottetown Dominion Build- ing, to pay for care of grounds, $400. The grants for public works in harbors and rivers are: Port Selkirk, $1,000; China Point, $1.200; Chapel Point Wharf, Grand River, $800.

Nothing was known of the fatality till yesterday morning when the neighbor's saw a wrecked homestead. They entered aod found the bolies.

The boy’s head was crushed by fallen timbers. Mrs. Schofield and three other children were bundled in the corner of the building which was intact and were hali scared out of their senses.
