On a farm in that township thirty head of cattle, horses, etc. are starving to death. Already eight animals have died and the rest are likeby soon to follow. The explanation 1s said to be that one Green, the owner, is in difficulties. A banker holds a chattel mortgage and other parties are trying to get the Sheriff into the premises, so that nobody has control of the place. There is no feed on the farm, and the poor brutes are wandering about in this dis- tressing state of starvation.

Qutline of Government Bill,

Lonpon, March 19. In the Commons this evening, — _C.T. Richie, President of the Local Government Board, introduced the Local Government Bill for England and Wales. The Bill proposes to establish councils, to

be elected directly by the rate- payers, which -have control of the county police, to wield

powers now exercised by the local authori- ties over Gas and Water Works, artisans’ dwellings, sales of food and drugs, and Sanitary conditions, and make advances in aid or emigration when there is reason to believe that the advances will be repaid. The Local Government Board to retain the present power to control borrowing money by counties, and audit accounts of the counties. It is also to fix the numbers of members of County Councils.

The other provisions give the Councils oversight of lunatic asylums, penitentiaries, reformatories, industrial schools, and power to grant licenses for she sale of intoxicating liquors. The most important feature is a division of the whole country into urban and rural districts with which women rate- payers will be equally entitled to vote for members of councils. London is to be created a county by itself, under a Lord Lieutenant. This Metropolitan Board of Works will b transformed into the council. The city will lose all the administrative duties, and the whole police force remain under charge of the home officials. Liver- pool, Birmingham, Manchester,’ Leeds, Sheftield, Bristol, Bradford, Nottingham, Hull and, Newcastle will all constitute counties in themselves.

The House, by a vote of 144 to 86, under closure, adopted the proposal to fix the salary of King-Harmon as Under-Secretary for Ireland.

_The discussion inthe lobbies to-night disclosed general approval of the Local Government bill on the part of the Opposi- tion.

DOMINION PARLIANENE Mr.

Davies Explains.

Orrawa, March 19.

In the Commons to-day, Mr. Trow asked the Government to provide an. additioual number of Hangard reports of the Recipro- city debate, as there wasa demand for these, not only from all parts of Canada but from the United - States.

Before the debate on the Cartwright re- solution was begun, Mr. Davies explained that in declaring Unrestricted Reciprocity to be an unpractical scheme before the Charlottetown Board of Trade, and that the Americans would be arrant fools to accept, he had referred to the policy of Unrestricted Reciprocity by the abolition of the Customs houses on the border. But the present scheme involved the maintenance of the customs service along the border and thus obviated this ob- jection, Otherwise the quotations were correct, :
