NEGOTIATIONS PENDING.

‘Orrawa, March 9.

In the Commons this afternoon, —

Hon. Peter Mitchell called attention to the special cablegram which had been re- ceived by the Halifax Herald, from New- fourdland, conveying the contents of Lord Lansdowne’s correspondence with the Government of that Colony, looking to its entrance into the Canadian Confederation.

Sir John replied: “It is true. Com- {munications have taken place.”

Sir Richard Cartwright complained that the house had not been taken into the con- fidenee of the Government.

Sir John’s statement has caused unusual excitement among the members, the ma- jority of whomconsider the present negotia- tions most opportune.

Mr. Mitcheil also complained that Hon. Messrs. Greenway and Martin had been in- yited toan interview with the Governor- General to-day, and contended that if the Governor was not acting at the instance of the Government his conduct was at variance with the principles of Responsible Govera-

nent. Sir John thought that Her Majesty per- or through the Governor-General
