Quebic, February 6.-Hon. R. R.
Dobell addressed a meeting ot his
electors on Siriirday night in Montcalm
market hill, and talking of the fast line
cftrns-Atlantic Steamshipi _ told them
that he was about to sail again for
England to attempt to put the scheme
through. He had been blamed for 'past
failures but said that he had been
blamed unfairly. Petersen, Tale and
Co., expected to have been able to fill
their contract with the Government bu'
idvince the cause of winter navigation,
and eventually this problem wou tl oe-

months navigation every year from
Quebec to the ocean, there would be

just decided to replace at the Tinvsrse,
the narrow. dangerous channel bel-Jw
the Isle of Orleans, by permanent piers
for liglithouse, the present ligbtships,
which had to be removed from their'
stations for nearly six months every

gncieeded, he did not think that their
mtire deposizshould be forfeited. But
it would be a bid precedent to return itf
alltothem and therefore the Govern-`
nieut upon his recommend-itioi, had
decided to retain half the amount. He
was tho ourrhl in favor of th ‘an of
ith would hive been of ten;
tous each and have run 22
an hour and if he could ge;
lchan offer now from reliable parties,
hs should certainly urge its acceptance.
He was about starting on his tourxhl
ocean voyage in connection with this
matter. He realized the fact that more
than speed and bulk was required now-
sdays ina large passenger steamship.
The safety of the passengers had also to
be considered. Burgogne disaster sho w-
ed that suzii vessels shou'd be p :acti-
cally uusiokable. Builders realized the
llct that it was quite possible to_ make
them so. It was not sulllaieiit to con-
struct them however with six or seven 1
compartments, and in the near future he I
believed it would be deemed next to*
criminal to sand such vessels to sea
with a large number of passengers on
board '

Mr. Dobell only made a passing ref-_
erence to the Joint Commission. He
could not say what the actual results
would be. but lie was certain, from the
reception aczorded the C inadians in
Washington, and from much el se that he
had seen there, that the two nations
would be better friends afer the Confer-
ence than they had been before it. and
that much good would result to Canada
in consequence.
The hon. gentleman referred to the de-
velopment that was going on in ~the
\Vc-'st by means of the Crows`s Nest
Railway, and said that while he would
not criticise the action of the Senate
in preventing the construction of a
through route to the Yukon,he was very
ing up of the country. He
defended the Klondike royalty often

took it the chimney fell off, and this
seemed to anger him. He threw it at

floor at her feet. After she had made
this statement, Butler said to her; “For

the affair is, that he took the lamp and
went through the room where his wife

back and set the light down in the. room
