The overnor-General’s Speech
Ovrrawa, Jan. 16,
His Excellency the Governor-General came down to the Senate Chamber at 3 o'clock this afternoon and having summon- ed the members of the House of Commons delivered the following
SPEECH : Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
In calling you together again for the con- sideration of public affairs, 1 may fairly con- gratulate you on @ continuance of the progress and prosperity of the country.
During the recess | visited Manitoba and the Northwest Territories and British Colum- bia, and everywhere Lfound myself received with the loyalty and goed will which I have found to be characteristic of Canada.
A comparison of my own observations with those of my §predecessors shows clearly the great progress which has marked this part of the Dominion in the settlement of the country and in the development of the great agricul. tural capabilities of its mineral wealth and of its other natioual resources.
In consequence of the repeated seizures by the cruisers of the United States, many of the Canadian vessels whileZemployed _in the cap- ture of seals in that part of the Northern Pacific, known as Behring’s Sea, my Govern- ment hat strongly represented to Her Maj- esty's Ministers the necessity of protecting our shipping while engaged in their lawful calling, as well as of guarding against the as- sumption by any nation of exclusive property rig'its in these waters. | feel confident that these iepresentations have had due weight ; ancl | hope to be able to inform you during the present session that all difficulties on this question are in the course of satisfactory ad- justment.
Ifaving observed the close attention which has recently been given by the Imperial authorities and on the Continent of Europe to the improvement of the method of catching, curing and packing fish, I deemed it expe- dient to cause a commission to be sent to Scotland and Holland to examine and report pen the subject during the fishing season. The report ol the delegates will be lsid before you. It will, lam sure, give our fishermen most valuable information and instruction to the best means of improving and develop- ing thie important industry.
sly Ministers have carefully considered the difiiculties which surround the administration of the rights of the Dominion in its foreshores, harbors, lakes and rivers, and a measure will be submitted to you for removing uncertainty as to the respe etive rights of the Dominion and of the Provinces and for preventing con- in the titie thereto,
The report of the Hoyal Commission on labor, which was laid before you during the last session, has been distributed throughout the country, Ihave reason to believe that the information which it contains will be found eminently useful in suggesting improve- ments in the administration of the laws which affect the working classes. Measures for the amendment of these laws so faras they come within the jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada, will be submitted for your consider- ation.
The early termination of the Acts of Incor- poration got the principal Banking institu- tions of the Dominion necessitates a review of our present system of Banking, and an adjust- ment of the terms under which the charters of these cor porstions should be renewed. Your attention will be drawn to this import- ant subject.
Certain amendments to the Acts relating to the Northwest Territories, calculated to facil- itate the administration of affairs in that region, as also a bill further to promote the efficiency of the Northwest mounted police, will be submitted for your consideration.
Measnres will be laid before you relative to bills of exchange and promissory notes, to improve the laws respecting patents of inven- tions and discovery, to amend the Adulter- ation Act and the law respecting the Inland Revenue; to amend also the Act respecting the Geological and Natural History syrvey of Canada, and to provide for the better organ- ization of the national printing establish- ment.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
The accounts for the past year will be laid before you. It will be found thatthe esti mates of revenue have been realized, and that after having fully provided for the various public services of the country, a substantial surplus will remain. The estimates for next year have been framed with a due regard to the requirements of the public service. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate : Gentlemen of the House of Commons :
1 commit these weighty matters and all others which may come before you to your earnest cousideratiou, and] rely upon your wisdom and prudence to deal with them in the manner which, under Divine Providence, may prove most conducive to the happiness and prosperity of Canada. ™

An Encyclical Letter.
Rome, Jan, 15.
The Pope has issued an encyclical which sets torth the principles which shall guide the Catholics in their relations towards the State, which encylical says they must obey when such course does not entail disobe- dience to the divine laws. In countries where the State opposes Catholicism, the Catholics must combat the enemy, and must not tic the Church to any political party.
