of every one of their contentions. In token of acknowledgment of Canada’s right the modus vivendi was accepted under this, the United States agreeing to pay Canada for rights which the Opposition now said were not possessed by her, and which the ' United States once claimed as theirs with- out payment, though they had now aban- doned that claim. He had every reason to | believs that there would be at an early day | a friendly settlement of the questions at) issue between the two countries. He had no official communications, but unoflicially he had knowledge that there was a_likeli- hood of the renewal of the negotiations. He declared that while the people of Canada would resent any humiliation of their national honor, yet they are mvure than anxious to onter into the most free relations with the United States, so far as the interest of Canada would allow. These interests hid always been developed under the present, government. As for | the resolution of the leader of the Opposi- | tion he could tell that gentleman that it | would meet with the indignant opposition | of the people of Canada just as it would be rejected by the House. |

After recess the debate was continued by | Mr. Mills, Hon. Geo. E. Foster and Mr. | Edgar.

Dr. McDonald, of Huron, moved the ad- journment of the debate and the House ad- journed at 10.50 o’clock.

and which had been tortured to insinuate that he had control of the secret service fund, and had, in all probability, rewarded the informer Le Caron out of that fund for the services he was supposed to have per- formed for the Canadian Government. Hon. Mr. Costigan said the correspondence between him and the Auditor-General re- lated to money spent in the preventive ser- vice of the Inland Revenue which he had a right to expend without stating the names of the recepients, did he so desire, but out of the increase of exper nditure of the pre- ventive service all that had been paid to parties not named during the eight years he had been in oflice had been only between $600 and $700, and this had been paid to Canadians for service rendered in Canada. So far as the man LeCaron is concerned, he | had never heard of him until he saw his name in the paper.

Hon. Wilfred Laurier rose to call the at- tention of the House to the position of the fisheries question, concerning which he consi lered no satisfactory information had so far been given to the House. Upon it the Gover ument appeared to have no policy save a policy of halting and vaciliating until the time for consideration was passed. He moved the following resolution: ** That in view of the rejection by the Senate of the United Stare 3 of the Washington Treaty of 1888, and unfortunate and regretted differ- ences existing between Canada and the United States on the fishery question, the House is of the opinion that steps should be taken at an early day by the Government of Canada for a satisfactory adjustment of such differences and the securing of unre- stricted freedom inthe trade relations of the two countries, and that in any nego- tiations entered upon for such purposes Canada should be directly represented by some one nominated by its govern- ment. That in the meantime, and to prevent such negotiations being unfayorably entered upon, and to af ford evidence of the anxious desire of Can- ada to promote good feeling and remove all subjects of controversy, the House is of opinion that the modus vivendi, proposed on behalf of the British Government to the government of the United States, with re- spect to the fisheries, should continue in

ope eration during the coming fishing season,
