His eldest daughter, 64 years of age, upset a table with a lighted lamp; and the fire immediately caught in the child’s clothing, burning her face and hands severely. Medi- eal aid was soon at hand, but the fire had done its terrible work, and on Saturday morning death came to the relief of the 1it- tle sufferer. In her brave efforts to sub- due the flames, Mrs. Collie had her : hands very badly burned.

The Budget debate took up the time of | the House to-day.

Sir John Macdonald announced that an! arrangement had been made with the leader | of the Opposition that the Budget debate | should be resumed on Tuesday next, and | finished at that sitting.

A good deal of speculation has been in- | | dulged in here lately with reference to the | jaction which the Government will take | | during the coming fishing season, in regard | to the issue of licenses under the modus | vwendi. It is understood that ree! cently an enquiry reached the Government from the Colonial office asking whether it had definitely decided yet to grant any ! more licenses, and that the answer which | was sent was to the effect that the issue of | licenses had been stopped temporarily in|} order that the Canadian and Newfoundland | Governments may agree on a common line | of action with regard to a request from | London asking if any changes had been made in the instructions to captains of the! fishery protection cruisers. The reply was; that the matter had not engaged the atten- | tion of the Government as yet. The cruisers are not going out until May.

A sensation has been created by the resignation of Hon. John Macdonald, of Toronto, of the presidency of the Dominion Evangelical Alliance, on the ground that the Alliance is being used for political pur- poses, and that the Governor General was being treated with coatempt by the Alliance in memorializing the Queen direct on the Jesuits estates question,

A special cable says the Canadian Gazette published the alleged terms of the fast At- lantic service, the amvuunt of subsidy being $500,000 for ten years.

The Premier to-night said that the state- ment was not correct. Many believe the service cannot be procured for less, but the amount has not yet been fixed. Negotia- tions are being carried on by cable with the Orient Line. The division on Cartwright’s amendment will take place on Tuesday night.

Manitebas Advantage.

~MontrReaL, March 14.

Rev. Mr. Beaudry, deputed some months since by Archbishop Tache to set forth to Quebec farmers the great advantages which Manitoba offers them, met with suc- cess during the past winter. Next Mon- day 500 settlers will leave Montreal for different parishes in the Red River Valley. The Canadian Pacific colonization officers will also send forward tive hundred more to follow by large numbers from week to week. The tide of emigration to the States is not only checked, but great numbers are leaving and preparing to leave the manu- facturing towns of New England to take up lands in Manitoba and the Northwest. A great many farmers from Ontario will also go to Manitebathis year. Some 700 new settlers passed through North Bay yester- day, bound for the fertile plains of Western Canada. ‘

Another Explosion. Pitrtssvure, Pa., March 14.

The battery of boilers at the West Point boiler works of R. Monroe & Sons exploded shortiy after noon to-day, while many of the workmen were at dinner. The plant is completely wrecked. Of 65 employes, five were killed and eleven injured. One will div. Itis feared many more are beneath the debris. The cause will probably never be known, as the engineer was killed out- right, and no one can be found who was in the engine room at the time of the explo- sion. The loss will reach $30,000.

Mine Sold.

Haurrax, March 14.

The Dufferin gold mine at Salmon River, Halifax County, was sold at auction to-day for $14,000. It is the most productive mine in Nova Scotia, and has yielded $115,- 000 profit during the last three years. It was owned by four partners, one of whom died, and was sold to wind up the estate. It was bought by the Archibald family, who were the former owners of three-fourths of the mine.
