DOMINION PARLIAMENT DEBATES AND PROCEEDINGS,

Orrawa, April 5.

After routine this morning the Un restricted Reciprocity debate was resumed by =Mr. Laurier, who spoke for over two hours. He insisted, after the manner of his party, that the principal argument urged by the opponents of Cartwriglit’s resolution was that it was disloyal, and combatted this contention at great Jeneth. He argued that Confederation was a failure, that the protective policy was a :uil- ure, and that there was only one remedy for present and prospective ills, namely : Free trade with the United States, He closed by a rhetorical flourish to the effect that he hoped his tongue might cleave to che roof of his mouth if he ever said any- thing against England, and that his right arm would wither if he ever did anything to destroy British power in this country. F

Mr. Chapleau tollowed and was still speaking at recess. He commenced with an allusion to Laurier’s peroration, and said it was a fine one, and one that avowed sentiments the leader of the Opposition uttered, but unfortunately it‘ ex

After recess, Mr. Chapleau conciuded his speech, which is acknowledged to be one of the most brilliant of the debate. He showed conclusively that the Opposition leaders had no mandate from the people for carrying on the present agitation, and that it was purely political in its origin and objects, and that when- ever the people were appealed to they would give the same verdict that they had always given, namely, that nothing might be done to imperil Canadian national as- piration or to injure Canadian industries.

He was followed ':y Flynn, of Richmond, speaking in favor of reciprocity, and Mr. Weldon, of Albert, against Cartwright’s resolution.

Excitement in Berlin.

Bern, April 5. The Cologne Gazette to-day publishes the following :—‘‘ Great excitement prevails in diplomatic circles in Berlin over the possi- bility of the speedy resignation of Bismarck because of the proposed marriage of Prin- cess Victoria of Prussia. Prince Alexan- der wishes to accompany Queen Victoria to Berlin as a suitor for the hand of the Prin- cess. For diplomatic reasons it is not thought advisable to permit the marriage. It is rumored that if Bismarck resigns, Count Herbert Bismarck will also resign.”

Terrible Storm.

Farrpavutt, Minn., April 5.

Yesterday evening this city was visited by the most terrible wind and hail storm ever experienced. Roofs were torn off from stone buildings, signs blown hither and thither like straws, and dry goods boxes were sent flying up the street like paper balls. There was nothing cyclonic in the storm which was mainly wind and _ hail. Coming from the southeast at the rate of sixty miles an hours it continued with great violence for fifteen minutes. It is estimat- ed that tue total loss is $100,000, and pos- sibly more.

Another Railway Horror. New Hamproy, la., April 5.

The Chicago through train going west on the M. & St. P. Railway ran plump into a ereek near here about 2.30 a.m. A bridge washed away by the ice gorge, and the creek, swollen by the flood, had overflowed its banks. The engine and three coaches were submerged. Four per- sons were killed and twenty-five to thirty injured, none fatally. The Redcliff train did not arrive for six hours.

The Fisheries Treaty.

New York, April 5.

The Herald’s Washington special says the impression which has gone abroad that the consideration of the new fisheries treaty in the Senate has been postponed till De- cember is entirely erroneous. ‘The treaty will be taken up and%acted upon within a short time’ The Republican majority of the committee, it says, has pretty well made up its mind to kill the treaty, although they may do it by indirection.

Sir Edwin Arnold.

His FIRST POEM SUBSEQUENT TO HIS. BEING MADE A KNIGHT.

The New York T'ribune’s London corres- pondent says :—The effect on Lord Tenny- son of his elevation to the peerage was sv curious that it occurs to me the result of Edwin Arnold’s knighthood is not without interest to the democratic world. I send accordingly the first poem he has written since the honor was conferred. It is pub- lished in The Asiatic Wuarterly Review, ancl is entitled, ‘* Berlin, the Sixteenth of March.” The verses are ordinary quatrains

Thunder of funeral guns, Dy ep sad bells with your boom, Sorrowful voices of soldiers and folk, Whom lay ye here in the tomb?

Whom? the cannons reply, Baying like dogs of war,

W hose master is gone on a path unknown, Our glory, and lord, and star.

William, Kaiser and King, For him our iron throats yell, Victor we hailed him on many a field, We make to his soul farewell.

Whom ? say the slow swinging bells, William, pious and dear,

Ofttimes he knelt to the King of kings Where now he lies on his bier.

Ho took from his God alone The Crown of the Fatherland,

And now he hath given it back undimmed To death's all masterful hand.

Whom? shout the serried ranks, Guardsmen, and Jaggers, and al

The lerdliest lord and the kingliest King ‘That ever raised battle call.

]

Ay

At his word we thronged to the field, Sure of success to betide,

Sure that the Kaiser would fight for peace, Sure of Heaven on our side.

Whom? sigh women and men And fair-haired German boys,

And girls with eyes of his cornflower’s hue, For our Father we raise our voice.

William the Emperor, dead ! Lo, he made us one land,

Thanks to him and his chosen chiefs, Strong and secure we stand.

Steadfast from birth to death, Whatso was right he wrought ;

Duty he loved, and his people and home— Now to dust he is brought.

Thunder of funeral guns, We hear you with English ears ;

In English breasts it echoes, sad bells, This tiding your tolling bears.

Warriors stalwart and fierce, We see you are tender and true,

We are come of a kindred blood, we share This sorrow to-day with you.

Folk of the Fatherland, Our hearts for your grief are fain, God guard your Kaiser Frederick And give ye good days again.

Weather Bulletin.

Toronto, April 6—-10 a, m. Strong east to south winds; cloudy weather with sleet and rain. A Puivexy Wirse.—-Mr. and Mrs. C. D. King live on a farm in the woods about thir-

teen miles from Caribou, Me., their nearest neighbor living eight miles from them. On

Sunday last Mr. King cut his foot badly, and on Monday morning, in order to procure as- sistance, Mrs. King started on the crust for- Caribou, hauling her child on a hand sled, to- gether with a pair of snow shoes, to use in case the snow became soft. She hauled her child the entire distance—thirteen miles— six miles of which were through a trackless forest, arriving before noon, tired, but apper- ently none the worse for her long tramp. Aid was immediately sent to her injured husband, and the brave and plucky woman secured much needed rest before returing home.
