‘Information from Sir Charles

P. ©. ISLAND MAILS.

Orrawa, March 1.

In the House to-day, im reply to Mr. Mitchell, --

Sir Charles said he was warranted in say: ing there had been negotiati@ns on tradere- lations by the Washington Commission as well as on the Fishery Treaty. Sir Charles further added that he expected the proto- cols from Washington hourly.

In reply to a question, —

Sir Charles said no arrangement had been reached in reference to the Behring Sea difficulty.

Sir Charles announced that he had brought down the estimates in advance of his tinancial statement, which would, ac- cording to the English custom, be made at a later day.

lt was amusing to hear Mr. Davies attacking the Government in the Commons to-day in relation to P. E. Il. Railway |matters, when Mr. Abbott, in the Senate, had stated that the Government had al- ready made the desired concessions.

‘BRITISH PARLIAMENT

CHAMBERLAIN’S MISSION.

MR. GLADSTONE SPEAKS.

Lonpon,’ March 1.

The debate in the Commons to-night was on the motion of Labouchere to reduce the cost of Chamberlain's mission. Gladstone paid a high tribute to Chamberlain’s ability and said his acceptance of the mission was an act of public duty and spirit. He re- presented Great Britain much better than Minister West could have done alone.

W. H. Smith, on behalf of Parliament and the whole country, said the deepest acknowledgment was due to Chamberlain fur bringing to a satisfactory and peaceful conclusion a dispute which might have been attended with serious difficulty. The cost was voted by a large majority, most of the Liberals supporting the motion.

Three others, charged with similar offences, were seritenced as follows :—M. Ribeandeau,. 8 months; M. Dubrenil, 4 months ; M. Herbert, 1 month; Mme. Ratzzie was acquitted.. The judge referred to the offences in the severest terms, and particularly denounced the actions of M. Wilson, who, he declared, offended against public morality and con- science,

Literary and Scientific Institute.

Tue following report of the discussion of last evening has been furnished THe Ex- AMINEK ,

“The Institution was very profitably occupied last evening in hearing and discussing a paper read by Mr. Cotton, on the prohibition question. Althongh only thirty minutes were vecupied by Mr. Cotton in reading his paper, yet so siugularly well and concisely were the Os gees on both sides presented, that the debate which followed was protracted and remarkably well sustained. Mr. Cotton's paper quoted largely from the writings of Herbert .Spencer, John Stuart Mill, Black- stone, Stephens and others on the science known as ethics, which treats of the laws of voluntary action and thus seeks to determine the nature and extent of moral duty, the practical doctrines of which contain the rules found to direct human conduct and the best means of compassing this general end, Society demanding a surrender ot part of its liberty, is justified in fixing rules even in restraint of civil liberty. Is prohibition a restraint of civil liberty ? Should the law of the State compel a man to give up the use of intoxicants? Although the paper was non-committal, the tenor of the whole argument, which was logical through- out, tended to the affirmative of this issue. The unanimous vote of the audience was that such a valuable paper be published. A cordial vote of thanks was alleles to Mr. Cotton for his valuable contribution to the cause of prohibition.”
