But one of the delegates who conducted the nego- tiations with the Dominion Government -Father Richot—swears positively that it was in existence, that it was the Lill that he took to Ottawa, that the paragraph quoted above, that this stipula- it contained tion was at the time understood by hint to be met by the provisions of the Manitoba Act, and thet the Act was upon that un- derstanding accepted. In explanation of the fact that.he was unable to produce the Lill he swears that be was called upon to produce it in court at the trial of Lepine, that he left it in the custody of the court and bas not since seen it.

Its great area of over 27,000 square miles contian: innumerable lakes aud river, in which salmon, seatrout and other valuable game fish abound, while in its extensive stretches of w.lderness, num- erons deer, moose, caribou, bears and other large game await the coming of th- hun‘er. — On its eeashores of udwards of 600 miles in length innumerable sea fowl! and shore birds congregate in the autumn, and in its swamp3 the young growth of woodland partridzes and other small varic- ties of game are abundant.” The writer refers ta the many noted fishing and hunt- ing resorts found «long the Interfcolonial Railway, briefly {commenting on the beautiful scenery in the summer eeason and the prircipal points of interest to the touri-t. “Prince Edward Island,” he says, “while boasting no yery picturesque acen- ery, is well worth visiting.

Of this amount 400 lbs. were sold in town, and the remainder weut off to customers on the mainland, besides which many orders have to be held over til] next week. Mr. Dillon now has orders booked for 2,000 lbs. batter for the foreign and local trale, which he hopes to fill next week. It is to be hoped the farmers will make : a note of this and send along their milk, as it is really too bad to have orders go to other paris when this maaufacture brings in the ready cash to them and is hard to get out of anytlring else.

There would not, accord- jog to this, be so very big a majority in Manitoba desirous of coercing Cathu i: children inte atteading sghoo'a their ghurch condemns, Mr. Greenway might weil afford to discuss a compromise. The newest service renderel by mon- keys to mankind was recently illustrated in London. In one of the school di-tricta too many parents reported no children in their families, and in order to ascertain the real number of children in the district the echool officers resorted to an ingenious measure. Two monkeys were gaily dres § ed, put in a warcp, and, accompanied be a brass band, were carried through the streets of the district. At once crowds of children made their appearance. The procession was stopped in a park, and the school officers began their work, distribut- ing candies to the youngsters they took their names and addressee. They found out that over sixty parents kept their chil- dren from school. The ingenious meas- ure brought to the school about two hun- dre} boys and girls. The Irish societies attended mass at S.# Michael's cathedral, Toronto, lx t Sundar, and were addressed by Archbishop Wal<h, whose patriotic utterances are favorably commented upon on all sides.

Stand by each other and take your part in mak- ing this a great vation.” re —* Sir Oliver Mowatt ie’ a miracle of «hrewdness and eagacity.” So says the Montreal Witness, and the occasion of tke remark is that Sir Oliver has put a stop to the evil of members of the legislature getting passes from the railways, by tak- ing the mileage fees from the members, and going exclusively into the railway pass business himself. It is remarked by the Evening Mail of Halifax that Sir Oliver has always shown himself shrewd encugh to wantto handle all themoney aud run everything. Tile new orcer of things is said to be that for the same amount of mileage rates as has been paid during the legislative session, the railways are to grant passes f:rthe whole year: but as there ix not a pretense that this is the full price of the passes, it is net easy to see where the independence of the legis lature, for which the Witness has been contending, comes in. Before, a few mem- bers may have put themselves. under obli- gation to railways, but under the new order the whole legislature seems to be- come pensionrrs of these ecrporations. > Medical Testimony .

It was in- tended that they should leave Ottawa for Winnipeg this afternoon, but as Sir Don- a'd Smith, who will accompany them, has business in Montreal to-day, the ministers may not get away until Monday.
