‘‘In addition to foregoing tariff there shall be col ected on goods, wares and merchandise imported into Newfoundland from countries which enjoy the unstricted privilege of taking fish in Newfoundland waters, and which countries levy duties on the produce of New foundland fisheries when taken and exported by Newfoundland citizens to such countries aforesaid, duties according to the schedule annexed,

SCHEDULE,

Flour, seventy-tive cente; pork, one dollar tifty ; butter, seventy-five cente per hundred pounds; tobacco, tive cents per pound; kero sene oil, tive cents per gallon; cornmeal, fifty- two and one-half cents per barrel.”

The effect will be, unless Canada alters her tariff or gives her Government unrestricted discretion to suspend action with regard to Newfoundland, that all trade between the two countries will cease after July.”

We hope for a satisfactory arrangement of this matter. Not that the duties to be imposed will greatly affect the New foundland trade with the Island. There are but two articles in the schedule which we send to the Newfoundland market. But from a national point of view, the Newtoundland trade is mutually beneficial and should fbe as free as between the Provinces. We re- gret that Newfoundland cannot see her way clear to join the Confederation. It seems a pity that she should be made a

on the 23rd instant, the day upon which Mr Biake, on the strength of an irresponsible press telegram, assert d they had been and chargei the Premier, in cons<quence with attempting to mislead the House. | The duty of the overnment in the emergency, |

as explained by Sir John, was clear. It was to minimise and localize the trouble, which at the Worst has not attained other sigu'ficance than that of a riot - their dutw to take every precaution, but netto create alarm. Canada has reason to feel proud of the peace, quiet and order which haa prevailed in the North- west since the troubles of 1870. Although | that territory wes ovcupied down to a recent period by Indians, although so many thousand miles of territory have to be protected, a! though the disappearance of the buffalo has left the lodians destitute of their normal food supply, and made them dependent upon the

the charity of the government, not a dis- turbance has cecurred, bot a_ shot has been fired, but settlement has gone ou continuously iu every part of that

vast domain, and the settlers bave been as se- cure a8 in any other new portion of the older provinces. ‘he mounted police, a force of only five hundred men, have performed their duties with a skill, a zeal, an energy and a success simply marvellous. It is a force in- sufficient in number for ordinary pclice work over so enormous a tract of country, aud eught to be doubled in uumber. Yet if the (rovermment should propose such an increase, the Liberal party will not hesitate to denounce the measure as adding unneceesarily to the public expenditure, just as last they denounc- ed the Government for a condition of things for which it is not in the remotest degree re- sponsible. What is the charge’ That the claims of the half-breeds have been neglected. it is sot true No claims have been neglected The Governmest has been considering and settling those claims for years psst, and has practically completed the work. What yet remains to be dealt with will be passe! upon a commission compesed of Mr. Street, of London, a lawyer of high standing, Mr. Groulet, a half-breed, a surveyor of exper- ence, familiar with the country and its people and Mr. forget, a French-Canadian, the clerk oi the Northwest council. The men who have hearkened to Riel and been persuaded by him to revolt have no grievance, because a grievance implies the rejection of a just claim. aut there area number of half-breeds, who. having obtained their ecrip in Manitoba, re- moved to the territories, and now seek to obtain a second grant of 240 acres, besides the land they may acquire as homesteads, Practically ali the claims have been disposed off, and those awaiting settlement, those out of which the trouble is said to have arisen, are largely fraudulent. No one settler has been disturbed in th> possession of his Jands, bat all have been assured that they will not be disturbed if their claims are in any seuse valid. ‘To the argument of Mr. Blake, based on press despatches in the Government papers, Sir John answered that the Govern- ment speaks for itself, and he recalled how often the Leader of the Oppositior, when in the mivistry, had repudiated the utterances of the ftilobe Fancy; said the Premier, Sir Stafford Northcote basing an attack on the! British Government apon irresponsible state- ments in the press ; he would not be allewed to qrote them, in the first place,and he would not have the want of patriotism and the want of taste, in the second place, to do so, The Premier's treatment of Mr. Blake's complaint that the Government had called oat the Winnipeg Battallion without informing the House, was especially effective, That practice which the leader of the oppo- | sition had cited as prevailiog in England of summoning Parliament within ten days of calling out the reserves, if not then in session, was a relic of days when the crown’s power was paramount and the principle was set up to guard against danger of the militia being made the iostrument of a despet, But here is Mr Blake complaining at the action of the government in availing itself of the militia to preserve peace, and be prepared for an possible contingency, when thia right to ca out the militia has actually been delegated to three Justices of the Peace. Surely if that power can be exercised it may be em- ployed by the government of the day. *ir ‘ohn did not hesitate to declare that he was not concerned about explaining things to par- Hiament, but about quelling the riot in the speediest porsible manner, and restoring quiet im the disturbed locality, and he announced, aiid cheers of the House, that he would bring down just such information as the interests of the country demanded, and that he would not be forced by the opp: sition te make any

victim of complications caused by the hostile trade policy of the Uuited States.

Business in the United States.

The volume of business failures in the United States continues to increase at avather extraordinary rate, For the quarterending in March, partly estimat- ed, failures number 3,849, against 3,320 in the same period last year, snd 2,145 in a like period in 1882. The ailures this year have averaged 43 daily against 364 daily last year and only}?34 daily in 1882. The failures so far this year, in the light of past experience would indieate a_ total for tweive months of no Jess than 12,000, a much larger number than ever before recorded. There were 10,500 in 1878, the next largest aggregate to that in 1884.

“Less Talk.” ’

MoRE AND MORE our legislators are eschewing the folly of making long speeches-when there is nothing to be said. We had occasion to compliment the House of Assembly on their prompt and business-like manner of disposing of the address to the Lieutenant-Governor ; and LOW again We must congratulate the House on the facility with which they stopped the budget debate. The leader of the Government,the leader of the opposition, Mr. Perry and Hon. Mr. McLeod exhaus- ted the subject. The Government hada very strong case. There was nothing more to be said—and they said it. That was sensible.

Big Bear Joins the Rebels.

A Reported Engagement at Qu’Appelle.

> Winnipea, April 1.

A family named Lovell from Duck Lake arrived at Qu’Appelle on Tuesday morning. They had broken through the rebel lines and made # road across the prairies. They report the snow es very deep in the north of Qu’Appelle valley. The rebels refuse to let the mail go out. They threaten to shoot the carriers, but will not injure settlers if they stay quiet at home. ‘The rebels are pillaging stores, and captured George and John Kerr, the latter a storekeeper, P. W. Thompson, operator, and Mitchell, Post- master, at Duck Lake. Chief Beardy has 1,000 Indians. Lovell thinks Riel has guns, and is telling the rebels that he ex- pects help from Montana and Pembina

From Battleford news comes this after- noon confirming the murder of Applegard and Payne, and stating that both half- breeds and Indiaus there had risen. All white men, women and children were in the police barracks and fort, which was sufficiently strony to resist any attack. The rebels took possession of all stores, buildings, ete , outside the barracks, and that portion that portion of the town has been burned to the ground.

Big Bear, with 800 men, has joined Riel, who now has 2,000 armed followers.

Urrawa, April 1, There is little being done in the House of

Commons. The Government are fully em- ployed in considering the Northwest troubles.

SAckVILLE, N. B., April 2.

There is nothing new from the North- west except that an engagement has taken place between the mounted police and Riel’s forces, near Qu’ Appelle.

Telegraphic communication is now inter- rupted with Battleford. Mr. Gishorne leaves to-day for active service with his field telegraph service.

THE MARCH ON TAMAI |

Osman Digna’s Forces Report= ed Demoralized.

Anoiher Zareba to i Constructed,

Svuakin, April 1.

The enemy suddenly appeared in large force in the direction of Handeub. The men who were at work on the railway were rapidly withdrawn. A detachment of cavalry were sent out this morning to re- connoitre in the neighborhood of Tamai. They found Tamai occupied by a large force of the enemy. A general advance of the British forces will begin to-morrow morning at daybreak. The troops will stop at the zareba to-morrow night, and will march on Tamai on Friday morning. All accounts indicate that Osman Digna is completely paralyzed, and has retired to Erkoroit. A flag of truce was hoisted over Hasheen to cover his retreat. Many tribes are deserting him. Work on the Berber Railway has been resumed.

WHY GEN, GURDON WAS KILLED Vienna, April 1.

A despatch from Constantinople to the Political Correspondence says, ‘itis asserted that Zebehr Pacha sent to Khartoum a Nubian servant who betrayed and killed Gen. Gordon. Zebehr’s motive was revenge for the hanging of his son. :

Suakiy, April 1,

The troops at Gen. McNeil’s zareba will march out at daybreak to construct a zareba three miles nearer Tamai. They will be supported by a detachment of cavalry, The troops at Gen. Graham’s camp will then advance to the first zareba, and the whole British force will attack Tamai on Saturday. There appears to be about 12,000 Arabs between Hasheen and Tamai.
