The newspapers throughout Great Britain and Ireland comment at great length on Gladstone's scheme for Irish Government.

DOMINION PARLIAMEN'

Amendment of the Scott Act.

Orrawa, April 9.

The House met at 3 p. m. Mr. Jameison introduced a bill further to amend the Scott Act. He explained that the bill was nearly similar to the one introduced last session. [t was proposed that in British Columbia, where there were no county divisions, the electoral districts should be taken. An- other clause proposed that druggists could sell in quantities of less than one qnart. Half the penalty would, under the amend- ment, go to the treasury of the munici- pality, and one-half to the prosecuting officials.

Mr. Tupper explained the necessity for the railway.

Mr. Davies thought the expense unneces- sary. Mr. McDougall said the Opposition say they{were not opposed to the railway, but they took a curious way of showing their anxiety to help it forward.

Mr. Hackett showed that the Ontario opposition wes not fair. The C. P. R. ran a thousand miles through Ontario, which Province had on thatroad public money to the amount of over $15,000,000.
