Summary of Proceedings.

Orrawa, April 24.

No sooner had the Speaker taken the chair this afternoon than a message from

the Senate summoned the House to that.

chamber, where a number of bills were assented to. :

Upon reassembling, Sir John Mcdonald announced, in answer to questions, that the House would be asked to sit on Satur- daysafter this week, and that Mondays would be taken for Government business.

The railway resolution would be submit- ted next week.

The fishing license, or modus vivendi bill, was read a third time and passed.

The House spent the remainder of the afternoon in committee on the Banking Bil, adopting it down to the iifty-first clause with a few verbal changes. The amount of reserve which must be held be- fure a bank may pay a dividend excecding 8 per cent was increased from 20 to 30 per cent.

After recess, the House went into com-|

mittee on the bill of Hon, Mr. Chapleau, further amending the Franchise Act. Mr. Chapleau explained that its intenc was to simplify the working of the Act, and to re- duce the expense of its operation. The Bill was adopted in committee, and the House adjourned at 1.30.

Violating the Treaiy.

Hatirax, April 24,

There is a fleet of a dozen American fish- ing schooners in Canso waiting to obtain modus vivendi license. These have not ar- rived from Ottawa, and most of the vesse!s wiil proceed to Newfvundland. Among the fleet is the Gioucester tishing schooner Abbie M. Deering, Capt. Jeremiah Good- win, of Yarmouth. He put into Canso on

| Monday from the Grand Banks for the

ostensible purpose of landing a sick man. He had a cargo of firesh fish. He landed the sick man in daylight, and at night a quantity of small fish was smuggled ashore by the crew and sold. This was done, however, it is alleged, with the Captain’s consent. The Captain also purchased some bait. he facts were com- municated to the Collector of Customs and he telegraphed them tu the Department of Marine, Ottawa. ‘fhe sale of fish and the purchase of bait was decided-~to ~ be a violatin of the treaty and the Ottawa authorities gave orders for the release of the vessel on payment of a fine of $800. This was paid under protest and the vessel released to-day. The authorities will make a thorough investigation, and possibly the fine will be remitted if the facts do not show a flagrant violation of the treaty.

Irish Land Purchase Bill.

Lonpon, April 24.

Mr. Gladstone resumed the debate on the land purchase bill in the House of Com- mons thisevening. He said he was opposed tothe bill under an overwhelming convic- tion that it was complicated without under- taking to solve the difliculty. Regarding Parnell’s plan, it was new in principle and its general purpose clear, but he was not certain he comprehended the de- tails (Conservative laughter). In conclu-

sion he said, ‘‘1 feel it my absolute duty to_

protest against the principle of so flagrant a character, so tendmg to embark the coun- try in immense pecumary risks, while mak- ing the land purchase net an aim in the settlement of the general Irish problem, but a means to further plunge us into the deepest of political embarrassment.
