The Ottawa correspondent of the Montreal Gazette remarks that: “ The fact. that the Government is about to take Rgursday for Government busivess and that this afternoon the House got into committee of supply would, in an ordinary session, indicate that proroga- tion is not far distant. But this is not an ordinary session. In the cenviction that a general election may occur in the fall, and acting on the principle that it is well to be prepared ior any emergency, the Opposition have determined to un- mask their last battery and endeavor to cripple the Ministry before the great struggle before the electors takes place. Hence the iasinuations of corruption against supporters of the Govern ment upon which the great Lib- eral party intend to rely more than upon principles or attacks upon the Administration's policy of the past seven years. Then there will be a large num- ber of amendments to the motion to go into supply from time to time, each occupying a day or more in discussion, and it willbe June, at least, before pro- rogation can be had. Private bills and ordinary committee work, of course, never protract the session, aud are always closed up some days before the end is reached. The Government has no measures likely to excite much contro- versy, and these are practically ail ready, so that, as I have said, the delay of the session will not be caused by the press of business or the disposition of matters of public interest, but by the de- termination of the Opposition to make a desperate fight in anticipation of an election.” — The same correspondent also says : “ The demoralizatiou of the House under the laxity of order maintained both by the Speaker and Deputy Speaker pro- mises to make the scenes almost nightly witnessed in it one of the farces of the capital. At times the uproar is Jittle short of disgraceful, aud yet the presid- ing officers manifest an apparent indiffer- ence, aod have lost control of the House so completely that their feeble attempts to preserve the dignity and decorum of the proceedings, and to confine the range of debate within the lines prescribed by the rules are scarcely heeded. It is time a reform was made. —Mr. McLelan, Minister of finance, gives notice ofa resolution, askiag parlia- ment to ratify the agreement between the Dominion Government and the Can- adian Pacific. This agreement sets forth: First, that the twenty million dollars loan be repaid in two instalments, the first of which shall be paid on May first,and the second half before July first ; that on payment of these two instal- ments the land graut shall be reduced sufficiently, at $1.50 per acre, to extin- guish the balance of the thirty million loan, mentioned in 48 49 vic., chap. 57 —that is, ten million dollars; that upon the settlement of this thirty million loan, all the land grant bonds held by tbe government, in excess of five million dollars, shall be cancelled, and the Ontario and Quebec railway debenture stock held by the government returned to the company, and the government shall authorize the company to mortgage the Algoma branch to the amount authorized hy charter ; that upon doing this the company may issue first mortgage bonds upon the re- maining lands granted te them. The government, on this being done, will accept in exchange for the said five mil- lions of bonds a sum equivalent to that amount in the pew issue ot bonds. It is also proposed that on the completion of the contract and the opening of the road for traffic that the shareholders of the company be not disqualified as at pre- sent for the Senate and Commons. —In the Senate on the 8th instant, Senator Howlan’s bill incorporating the Northumberland Straits Railway Com- pany passed its second reading. In speaking to his motion for a second reading Mr, Howlao explained that the company is to have a capital of $5,000,- 000 ia shares of $100 each. The biil gives power to amalgamate with other lines of railways either in P. K. Island or New Brunawick. The distance from shore to shore is seven nautical miles. The proposed tunnel will be capable of sustaining a pressure of four thousand to the lineal foot; the tube is to be made of chilled white iron, non-corrosive. It is proposed to put concrete inside of the tuuael to the depthof two feet ia the bottom. Mr. Howlan said that Prince Edward Island contributes her share to the revenue of the Dominion and pays & portion per capita with all the other provinces. Mr. Haythorne sup- ported the bill. Specking on behalf of the Government, Sir Alexander Camp- bell is reported to have said : “There were some passages in the bill which en aake great attention on the part of the io railways.

The Daily Telegraph, commenting on Gladstone’s speech, says: ‘*While the dia- lectical display will fill everybody with ad- miration, the first thought to arise in all reflective minds will be, can the orator him- self expect success. He has proposed the most revolutionary step ever submitted to the British Parliament. It was curious to note that a movement, indicative almost of satisfaction, pervaded Conservative benches at the prospect of the removal of the Parnellites, while the Parnellites received guised by faint sighs of approval, widely different from the tapturous receptions given to other sections of the bill.‘ The essence of the acheme is Ireland is to be transformed into a colony’ with some disadvantages and many restrictions. She will be as much apart from Great Brigain as Canada, but unlike Canada will have to pay her share of our debt and Imperial expenditure. The Irish parlia- ment will have every temptation to demand the removal of all restrictions and attempt the extension of all their powers. That was the story of the eighteenth century, and it will probably be repBmted in the nineteenth. If we believed the Irish to be an easily satisfied race we might expect smooth working of the system so cleverly constructedy so ingeniously dcve-tailed and devised, With British and Irish natures what they are, we cannot, however, salute the new constitution with anything like hope. Englishmen cannot be expeeted to regard with auything like satisfaction this great capitulation,even when gilded withthe glowing, eloquence of their most brilliant of orators. The Times saye it is not a metaphor to affirm that Gladstone’s statement is with- out parallel in our Parliamentary annals. In its mastery of complicated details, and its command of dialectical and rhetorical resources, it is not only marvellous, but lifted out of the region of political common place by the spirit of elevated purpose and tone of the self-imposed conviction. With what fatal vices must a cause be smitten for which even Gladstone's. energy and in- fluence are able to win no more cordial a reception than that accorded his Irish scheme in the House of Commons. In substance, the measure proposes to place Ireland in a _ position, not like that of a state. of the Awerican union, but like that of Canada, a self-governing Province. Separation is complete and absolute in principle, and the restrictions by which it is professed secure supremacy of Imperial Parliament, must in practice be worthless, since there is no efti- cient sanction behind them. ‘This is the cardinal point to which public opinion must be immediately directed. Is the nation prepared to give Ireland an independent political existence! We cannot suppose that there is any room for doubt on that point. It would be grossly unfair to assume that the House will consent to a second reading of the measure, which cannot pos- sibly survive debates in committee. The Standard says not the least striking feature of the scheme is its omissions. The absence of any special provision for Ulster is the first thing that condemns the bill. Hardly less astonishing is the frankness with which Gladstone explained the ground on which Ireland, although saddled with a portion of imperial taxation, would have no representatives at Westminster. The whole argument is vitiated by incapacity in the face of plain facts. The Edinburgh Scotsman says the bill will not doasitstands, The exclusion of Irish members from Westminster will be fatal. Gladstone has approached the eub- ject with heroic spirit, but his desire to be generous to Ireland has carried him too far. He was to give Home Rule, and he proposes to give repeal. Itia safe to say that the country will not sanction the scheme, The Edinburgh Scottish Reformer com- ments on the scheme and pleads for Scotch home rule. The Aberdeen Journal pronounees the proposals repulsive to every instinct of the British people and fatal to Gladstone’s reputation. The Manchester Guardian says it is a scheme substantially for repeal of the legisla- tive union between Great Britain and Ire- land. If the bill is not rejected by parlia- ment, it must in its central feature be re- cast, Representation of Ireland at West. minister must be retained. Then, with this modification, the measure may pass. The Neweastle Journal declares the scheme to be cubersume and unworkable, besides that it is crude and dangerous and is certain to be rejacted. The Newcastle Chronicl:, on the other hand, says though the measure may admit of improvement in detail, it is the best scheme ever presented to parliament. The Liverpool Post says that whether Gladstone is successful or not in carrying his bill throngh parliament, he has forever killed oppression and coercion in Ireland. Proposals so unexpected as those made by the Premier, the Post says, require time to consider, rT © el otc Horsford’s Acid Phosphate, Be WARE OF IMITATIONS Imitations and %unterfieits have again ap- peared.

The working men of Canada are smoking the very same quality of tobacco at 60 cents a pound, and it is known to them as the Myrtle Navy. the news with something like dismay dis- | Northwest Administration. (Ottawa Correspondence of the Montreal (razette. ) There was an exceedingly interessing discussion in committees of supply on the subject of Northwest administration. I grew out of the item in civil governmen relating to the Interior department and gradually widened oft until practically every important aspect of the Northwest policy had been touched upon,end although the discussion was quite irregular, much valuable information was elicted, and many useful suggestions thrown out. In desul tory debates of this character carried on in this conversational tone without party ran- cour, and asa rule without the intense partisanship which too often characterizes the formal speeches, it is usual to obtain a clearer and more accurate knowledge of the various sides of a question than a three days’ debate with its long drawn out and set speech will afford, For the Interior department proper, a vote of $71,225 is asked for the inside service next year as against an appropriation of $69,305 for the current year. There is here an apparent increase of $1,920, but when it is stated that the statutory increases of salaries over which the Minister has no control, amount to $2450, and that the salary of the Chief Inspector of Surveys, which this year and heretofore has been paid out of Do- minion Lands capital account, is next year to be taken out of the Interior appropria- tions, it will be seen that an economy of a considerable amount has been effected. The staff of the department has been re- duced by two. Asan example of how the work of this branch has increased, it tran- spired during the discussion that in the five months ending with March, 1886, the num- ber of letters sent out was 17,500 against some 8,000 in the corresponding period of the preceding year, and that the correspoa- denee for the months of November a:d December last exceeded that of the Depart- ment for the whole year 1877, with that- of the Indian department, since separated, added. Mr. Blake undertook to belittle the policy of the past few years in relation to the Northwest, urging that expenditures in that country should be decreased and the work of the Department contracted. He argued that because the receipta of the last five years from land sales in the Northwest have been absorbed by expenditures on surveys, administration of the landa, etc., that the country has gained nothing by the outlay. But he ignored altogether the material fact that some sixty million acres of land have been surveyed, which means that no further heavy expen- ditures for this service will be required fer many years to come, and that every settler placed in the Northwest, ia consequence of the outlays made, is of value to the Government as a contributor to the revenue, and to the country as a producer of wealth. Hon. Mr. White, during the evening, made the important apnouncement that negotiations are now going ou for the settlement of the contracts with the colonization companieis, with a view to ending the relations between them and the Government. These companies desired at firat pen negotiations were opened to obtain the lands at $1 an acre, then at $1.50, but the Government insisted upon $2, and the plan upon which the set- tlement is contemplated is that the com- panies shall vbtain as much land at this latter figure as is the equivalent of the money they paid into the public treasury. No money will be returned to any of them by the Government, but a rebate of $1 an acre will be allowed for every settler placed upon the lands. By this arrangement it is expected that a more than a million acres will revert to the Government, and it was suggested by several members than an effort should be made to have these settled in blocks, one of the disadvantages of the present system being more or less scat- tered settlement, The colonization com- panies came in for much abuse by the Opposition, and the usual misrepre- sentations of the policy respecting these and the powers they enjoyed were indulged in. Asa matter of fact, the even number- ed sections within the tracts of land allotted to the colonization companies have always been open to free homesteading to anyone who choose to goin. They were organized at the time of the boom, were undertaken by men of both parties and were regarded at the time as an excellent method of intro- ducing capital into the country, obtaining valuable immigration agencies and promot- ing the settlement of the Northwest, and much good has resulted from the policy which brought them into existence, four or five of them having proved eminently suc- cessful in promoting settlement and advanc- ing the interests of settlers. Mr. Chariton and half a dozen other members of the Opposition, of course, repeated their little speeches of the advantages possessed by Dakota and Minnesota over Manitoba and our Northwest, asserting that the land laws of the former were much more favor- able than those of Canada and that people leaving Ontario prefer the United States to our Northwest. It is a cur- ious—well, no, perhaps not curious—thing, considering the active propagation of anti- Northwest views by the Ontario Grits, that the only p@gtions of that province whence settlers are said to have removed from to Dakota are represented by members of the Opposition. Listening to such dishonest and unpatriotic epeeches as were made by Libera! members last night, the wonder is that any one who has the slightest confi- dence in their utterances dreams of taking up his residence in tye Canadian North- west. There was no lack of disproof of the inaccuracy of the statements of these gen- tlemen. Messrs. Wailace, of York, Far- row, Guillet, Hessen, Sproule and others, in excellent speeches, full of useful infor- mation, demonstrated the superior advan tages of our country, and bore testi- mony from personal knowledge that people who had gone to Manitoba and the Northwest from their counties had pros- pered and were content and happy. A notable speech was that of Mr. Trow, the Liberal whip, a gentleman who knows pro- bably more about the Northwest from per- sonal observation than any other man in public life, having travelled five and six months annually for six years past by buckboard in every section. He said that he could pot allow the statements made by his frienda of the Opposition to go abroad ; uncontradicted, and then declared that in | respect of climate, soil and land laws the advantages of the Oanadian Northwest were distinctly superior to those of Dakota and Minnesota. He had no complaint to make of the position of the setiler in the former, and expressed unbounded confi- dence in the future of the country.

Ireland regrets it. John Morley’s speech, from which so much was expected, was not an effective answer to the points on which the House required information, and no other member of the Government has yet supplied what Morley omitted. Justin McCarthy, Home Ruler, M. P., cables the New York Herald: ‘‘ The present scheme will probably not pass, but will get throngh the House of Com- mons very likely, by a small majority, after long delay and much putting about in the committees. The session will then be far advanced and the Lords will of course throw out the measure.” Bad State of Affairs. Sr. Louis, April 10, The fires set by the strikers last night are now under control. Fifty-eight cars, scale house and lumber yards are complete- ly destroyed. Firemen and engines were sent from St. Louis to help to put out the fire, but the firemen were intimidated. The Executive Board of the Knights of Labor when the news of the shooting reached them, proceeded at once to East St. Louis and there conferred with a num- ber of citizens and got the general opinion as the affair. After advising every one against violewee, the Board prepared and sent following telegram to Jay Gould, New York: ‘‘ The following advertise- ment appeared in many leading papers on 7th inst.,” ‘* Louisville and Nashville railway company; ollico of agent. Ten good men from here are wanted as deputy marshals at east St. Louis to protect the Louisville and Nashville employes. Five dollars per day and board will be paid. Also a number of men can be given employment. Only men who have plenty of grit and mean business need apply.” How well this advertisement has been answered 18 8@en by their work of to-day in east St. Louis. Six men and one women were murdered by those who ‘“‘had plenty of grit and meant business.” By your action in refusing peaceful negotiations solicited by the Board of Arbitratiou, you, and you elone, must be held responsibie by the world for the lives of these innocent people.

The spirit of the native Indian press is inoreasingly hostile to the English.” Excitement in British Colum) ia Victor, B. C., April 10. Owing to the passage by the Local Legi-- lature of a bill prohibiting the employment by railway companies of Chinese labor, and the consequent refusal of the Canadian Pacific Company to construct the proposed branch line to New Westminster,the people there are in a state of great excitement.
