LONDON, April 35.-German battle

cruiser squadron made an attack on Lowestoft, opening fire on the C088! and killing two men, one woman and _one child. British light cruisers, tor- pedo boats, destroyers and aircraft chased the Germans who put hacki hastily toward Germany. Two Bri- tish cruisers and destroyers were hit by German shells but none sunk. Whether the Germans suffered damage isnot known. _ _ '

Except in" Lorraine there has been

an entire absence of infantry fighting on the western front. Big guns how- ever continued their rain of shells on

positions at various points. At La- cbapellotte in Lorraine the Germans launched a heavy infantry attack against the French which was repuls- ed. Some Germans obtained a foot- ing in a portion of the French salient

but were later driven out with heavy losses. Around hill 304 and in the re- gion of Esnes and Cumieresnorthwest of Verdun bombardment was intense. East of Eerdnn around Moulainville there is also a violent bombardment. In 'Argonne the French destroyed with guns a German post and shattered a German trench over a small front. There was considerable aerial activi- ty by French airmen in which four Germans were brought down.

On the Eastern front near Garbun-

ovka the Russians made a heavy at- tack against Germans but according to a Berlin report were repulsed with sanguinary losses. Heavy artillery engagements are still in progress in upper Cordevole, Monte San Michele, and regions of the italian front. -

A British ofllcial communication

from Mesopotamia says the British are still holding the lines of the right bank of the Tigres against the Turks und have somewhat extended them nt one point by driving in the Turkish pickets. '

Something in the way of a surprise

was forthcoming on the evening of April 19th, when a number of friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Tinney, Fredericton. Though unexpected, they were received in the usual hospitable manner by their host and hostess, and after a pleasant so-' cial evening had been spent t-he follow- ing address, with a. suitable presen~ tation, was read, expressing the deep regret felt by the community ut large, in the sale of their farm by Mr. Tiuney and in their decision of leaving the neighborhood, in the near future, to take up their residence in the City:- Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Tinney.

Dear Friendsz- _ It is with feelings of deep regret

that we learn that you are about to re- move your present residence to ano- ther place of abode. The announce- ment of this change has occasioned u feeling of universal' sorrow through the extent of this district, which we 'are unable to express in a few words of address. it ls. mill that there :ire times when words are found to be in- adequate to expresg the emotion oi the heart, and such is the feeling we have on this occasion: yet we cannot allow you to say farewell without con- veying to you, a feeble expression oi our sorrow and regret at your depart- ure, and emphasizing in some degree our high appreciation of your worth as neighbors and citizens. Before saying good-bye, we beg to present you with tblgpunee as a small token of our regard. on behalf of those presentz- A. Cuttiiffe. G. Bigger, G. Weeks, P. McLeod._Benj. Weeks, Harry Weeks.

‘ In the Legislature yesterday after- noon the Government threw a bomb in the form of n resolution among the Opposition which caused them the utmost consternation.

The Opposition appeared alter the

recess. a little crestfallen, it is true, but prepared to put the best face upon matters after their woeful experience in Lent.

Two of their number, Messrs Saun-

ders and McLean were absent from their seats, and Mr. Bell took advan- tage of the opportunity ,to offer another protest against the former having been selected to act on the Public Accounts Committee instead of himself.

It was after a few questions had

_been put and the answers tabled that the bomb unexpectedly fell among the Opposition. _ Hon H. D. McEwen rose and, se- ‘conded by Dr. the hon. S. R. Jenkins moved the following resolution:

Whereas during the bye-election in

the First District of King’e County held on the 5th day of January 1916, it wa charged by Mr. John H. Bell and lizr. James J. Johnston, members of thfh House, that the Hon. James A. McNeill, Commissioner of Public works, had corruptly paid to Meesrs Phillpgand Andrew Arsenault, contrac-

ment or with the Government, a sum of money. . _.And wh-areas it is in the public in- .terest that such charges be fully inves- ‘tigated, therefore, resolved, that a spe- :Iel Committee of five members of the House be appointed to enable the same members or other members of this House to substantiate such charges and that the said Committee be em- powered to send for persons, papers and reoorde and to examine witnesses under oath. _ ‘

Mr. Bell seemed completely taken hy

surprise, and asked that the Clerk xhoudl re-read the resolution.

This was done. and Mr. Bell remain-

ed seated completely nonplussed. Then Mr. J. J. Johnston urged him to get up ind ask for notice to bo 'given.

Mr. Bell rose and at the out-set said

‘ie wished it to be understood that as far as he personally was concerned ie had not charged the Commissioner of Public Works with corrupt motives '-le had specifically excepted him in his ils speech, as no doubt the Speaker would remember. He strongly objec- ted to the wording of the resolution and to the resolution itself, He thought this was a matter that ought to have

investigated in the Public Ac-

Committce, and he again pro- sgsinst Mr. Saunders and Mr. having been appointed on that

instead of himself and Mr. He hoped thc Government proceed with the resolution

time to it.

that

tore, or ons of them, with his Depart-_

sary hc hadalready given it earlier in the session. He could easily under- stand, however, that the hon. members were not prepared to go on with the resolution and he had no 'objection to the matter taking the form of a notice of resolution. Hewould just like to refer in a few words to the remarks of the Leader of the Opposition. He was continually airing that grievance of his about the constitution of the Public Works Committee, saying that they purposely excluded him and his friend from it. in making the se- lection of members the majority of the Special Committee considered that the member from St. Peters was emi- nently qualified for a seat upon it. He had been a member of the late Liberal Government and had also been n mem- ber of the Public Accounts Committee. By right of seniority and experience he stood head and shoulders above any of the members who. Mr. Bell said. had been excluded. The majorltyof the Special Committee had the idea that Mr. Mclnnes was not only com- petent but honest, and the hon. mem- berhad not done anything since the House opened that would cause them to change that opinion. (applause. The other member to whom Mr. Bell took exception, had been for some years Mayor of Summerside,, selected by men who knew him best, put there and kept there by the people of his own town, and in that position, as well as otherwise, he had had a great expe- rience of accounts. He was perfectly certain that that hon. member of the Opposition would ‘not seek to garble figures and misrepresent accounts, or to distort figures to suit a dishonest purpose. The member chosen was an honest man and a competent man and could bc trusted by the`House to faith- I fully discharge his duty. The verdict rf that liousc and the verdict of the country was that the members of the i "nnosiiion <-lmson were two as compe- icni nnd reliable msn as satin the Op- position bonches. (Applause.) The majority of thc Special Committee were of ilu- opinion ihut the men selec- ted wcro worth infinitely more than

tho Loader of the Opposi- to substitute. He had of such a tiling either on

-they did not mean what _the aflldavit purposed to set forth. What were they to think of such a face about? What was the meaning of all that loud shouting? What was the meaning of the conspiracy made to do duty in the Souris election? What was the meaning of the conspiracy and scandal but to bring about the downfall of the Commissioner of Public Works and to involve the Government in his ruin. Now the Leader of the Opposition brought face to face with the conse- quences of his act says “oh, I never meant that. all I meant was that a mistake had been made by the Public Works Department." He had told the Leader of the Opposition that he could have a- committee to investi- gate the charges. and informed him further that if he did not ask for one, the Government would ask the House to appoint one; Now when the reso- lution for the appointment "was brought down the Lender of the Op- position complains-that he had not received notice. The Leader of the Opposition evidently did not want an investigation, but the Government was determined that there should be. They believed there had been an infamous conspiracy against the Commissioner of Public Works hatched, and that the Arsenaults were but tools, a conspira- cy t'o keep these men from repaylng the money which they had been over- paid. Three days before the affida- vit had been sworn to the Secretary of Public Works had discovered his mistake and had gone to Summerside to see the Arsenaults who had pro- mised to make restitution. Three days later the ailldnvit was sworn to in Mr. Bell's ofilce before his lnw part- ner. it was taken down to Sourls to blacken the character of Mr. McNeill and to damage the Government: and now the`Leador of the Opposition pre- tended that all that was done merely because a mistake had been made by an official in the Public Works De- partment. and that he did not impute any corrupt motives. Having said that much the Leader of the Opposi- tion must go farther and apologize to that House apologize to the Com- missioner of Public Works, and apolo- gize to the people of this country whom he had mislead by the vlic slan- ier he had spread broadcast. lf he did not do so. then bo must be made to substantiate his charges or take the consequences of his acts.

Mr. Johnston wished to speak a se-

cond time but he was ruled out by or- der. and notice of the resolution was formally given. -

The House resumed in the evening

and took up the estimates discussing particularly the Agricultural and Edu- cation Departments.

The Houso is still in session as thc

Guardian goes to press this morning.

SNISHEU WITH

THE Hill BUSINESS

Mr. ll. li. llolmun, Chztrlottctown.

during his, recent trip visited the fur ccntres in Boston and New York and got an insight into the magnitude und importance of the fox lndustry, in which he is deeply interested. I-Ie visited those cities specially to get first hand ‘information regarding thc fur markets and hc is certainly satisfi- ed with what he saw and learned. He interviewed the largest dcalcrs and fpund them not only interested in the general i`ur business but most enthus- iastic regarding the raising of foxes in captivity in Prince Edward Island. The invariablc opinion expressed wus that the rearing of foxes camo just in time ns the choice silver block fox of the wilds is practically extinct, and the us- scrtion wus also niudv that ihc fur markets would in the vcry near future depend almost exclusively on thc ranch bred fox for the bust furs. it had for years been becoming increas- ingly diillcult to procure real first class fox [urs and the fact that thcso can be raised so successfully is re- garded ns u boon to the fur business. Not only is there a big dcmund for the best grades of silver fox fur but high prices are also' being paid for good cross fox pelts. Mr. Holman proved to his own satisfaction both by what he saw and was told that cross foxes of good strain can be raised very pro- fitably. Among the prominent fox men whom he met while in New York was Dr. Leo Frank well known in this province us the founder of the Roscbunk i~`ur Farms. Dr. Frank is carrying on

,Au wonderiiikpublicritry campaign and is

uflvcrtising the fox business in a way that is surf-. to produce results that will lnsot' licncilt not only to himself but ic all who ure interested in the fox business.
