DEBATES AND PROCEEDINGS. Fisheries and Temperance

Matters Discussed at Length. THE FIRST DIVISION. GOVERNMENT MAJORITY 43

Ortawa, March 6,

In the House of Commons to-day, Sir Charles Tupper, in replying to Sir Richard Cartwright, said he was now in comuui- cation with Sir Lionel Sackville West, in order to become enabled to lay the fishery papers in full before the House, and thought Mr. Cartwright’s motion on our trade rela- tions might be proceeded with.

Sir Richard remarked that ceeding with the resolution well to havethe proposals United States in the members.

Sir Charles said every effort woald be exhausted in order to obtain the papers in time, and agreed that Wednesday night be taken for the discussion of Mr. Cartwright’s resolution.

On motion to go into Committee of Sup- ply,-- Mr. Mills moved an amendment de- claring that it was the duty of the Govern- ment to remove all the legal impediments to the successful working of the Canada Temperance Act.

Sir John considered the amendment as begging the question, in so far as it did not explain the amendments necessary in the present Ingislation. He deemed Mills’ motion vague and indefinite, and contended that it should not be allowed to pass in its present form asa vote of want of confidence in the present Administration.

Mr. Laurier supported Mr. Mills’ motion, stating that impediments in the way of the successful working of the Canada Temper- ance Act had been repeatedly pointed out by the Dominion Alliance. Sir John had assented on the principle embodied in the Canada Temperance Act, and should be pre- pared to use all the power of the Govern- ment to supply deficiencies in its machin- ery.

Mr. Jamieson, the Leader of the Pro- hibitionist party in the Commons saw reasons to justify him in voting against Mills’ amendment. Prior temperance legislation had been treating the question assaf from party politics. The movement of the Opposition was not in keeping with the policy temperance men had hitherto adopted in the House and had already caused considerable surprise. Representatives of both political parties in the session of the Dominion Al- liance had endorsed a policy with which this movement of the Opposition was alto- gether at variance. He thought it desir- able that the Canada Temperance Act should be amended and _ improved, and that already this session he had introduced a bill to secure amendments with the approval of the Al- liance. He believed his bill, which the Dominion Alliance approved, would pass the House, and he was assured that the temperance men, acting irrespective of party affiliations, would keey the question before the House until prohibition was carried.

After speeches by several members the House divided on au almost strict party vote. Mills’ amendment was negatived by 56 to 109. The Government majority was therefore 53. The announcement was re- ceived with boistrous cheers.

The Dominion Alliauce.

Orrawa, March 6.

The annual session of the Council of the Dominion Alliance met to-day, Hon. Sengtor Vidal in the chair. The chairman said the alliance had every reason to be thankful for the general results of the past year. Although the defeat in Halton is much to be regretted, Halton was the only county where the Act was carried that it had been repealed. He ascribed the result to the change in the voters list, which, he held, did not represent the true feelings of the people in that county. The Executive Committee and their report recommended the adoption of Mr. Jamieson’s prohibition resolution.

The St. Patricks Eve Procession.

Hawirax, March 6.

On account of the drunkenness of the young men after the march on St. Patrick’s eve, the Archbishop and the Mayor had taken steps to stop the procession in future. There was a great deal of feelign among the young Irishmen in the matter. They considered their rights were being abridged, and to-day waited upon the Mayor and Archbishop to get the prohibi- tion order cancelled. They are to be allowed to march, but no boys under 2i are to be permitted in the par ade, and the procession must be over at 10 o'clock.

Not Yet Recovered.

Hawirax, March 6. Lieut. Valentine’s body has not yet been discovered. His brother officers have every boat at Sambro employed in dragging for his body.
