HOUSE OF COMMONS, FISHERY AWARD DISTRIBUTION, _ Mr. Macponsun, of Inverness, Nova Sotia, moved fer a committee ef the whole to consider certain resolutions declaring the Provinces of Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to have eaoh claims and rights to distributive shares ef the amount of the tishery award. Mr. Richey, of Halifax, moved the ad- journment of the debate in order that some documents might be laid before the House by the Government, so as to enable mem- bers to obtain the fullest information on the question, and thereby assist them to discuss the whele matter intelligently. A statement was made by Mr. Fiynn that the Government was anxious to burke the ques- a and postpone the discussion indefinite- y. THEN a ‘* SCENE” followed. Mr, Yeo rose to speak at eight minutes to six. He indulged in some self- glorification abeut the manly course he had adopted in reference to bringing the ques- tion of distributing the Award before the House for the duration of four minutes, aud then, from some unexplained cause, remained speechless for four minutes more, holding the floor till the Speaker left the Chair. A general titter was heard all over the House in consequence of the unusual and novel predicament of the member for Prince. Some members suggested that he was holding ‘‘the fort” so as to prevent the question of adjournment of the debate being put to vote before six o’clock and thereby secure fer himself a breathing spell during which time he might be stujfed by some one in the intervere of recess, others thought that his speech had been written out for him, but memery proved treacher- ous and left him a victim cf misplaced con- fidence in his own powers, while a few murmured in an undertone that he was ‘* too full for utterance,” his-emotion over- ceming him while contemplating the grand stand he had taken on the mementous question before the House. Certainly in‘ these heartless remarks no Islander couid take part, for Mr. Yeo was more to be pitied than laughed at. He was desirous of making a speech that would occupy the time till the Speaker left the chair, but miscaleulated by four minutes and then without the ability to command ideas or words he remained dumb for the balance of the time. What moments of ageny those must have been to his mind, as he stoed speechlessly watching the long minute hand of the clock sweeping its weary circle, while all eyes in the Heuse were fastened upon him. One would fancy as he stood there, he sent up a silent prayer for the old cleck tohurry over the four minutes and then as a reward for so deing it might step short never to ge again so far as Mr. Yeo was concerned. Perhaps it was wise on the part of Mr. Yeo not to attempt to fill up the whole of the eight minutes, as his speeches are never listened to by the House. Silence in his case being as effec- tual as speech, he therefore saved himself the physical exertion of beating the air, and talking against time fer a period ef four minutes. This is the second EXHIBITION with which Mr. Yeo has favored the House during this session.’ The first being on the occasion when the Minister of Marine and the Minister of Custems successfully proved that Mr. Yeo carried about with him the resignation of a Dominion official who had eutered a political centest ; and was pre- pared to present the resignatien to the proper quarter if the official had succeeded in being elected. The house, on the oc- casion referred to, witnessed the dignified spectacle of one its members exclaiming that he would go before two Magistrates and swear. to the truthfullness of his statements. The last effort of Mr. Yeo seems to have disgusted even himself, for he‘has departed frem Ottawa in a very sum- mary manner, and it is said is on his way home. ‘‘'Turn again,’ “‘Turn again,” O Grit member for Prince County, Lord Beaconsfield once had the misfortune to break dewn while addressing Parliament, and Mr. Lowe, a shert while ago, was com- pelled to take his seat, being unable to preceed with his speech. Having a mind cast in the same mould as these two great British statesmen, you may yet ‘‘achieve greatness.” The Editoral correspondence of the ‘¢ paTRIOT ” contains the statement that the writer could not hear the Minister of Marine when he speke in the House, because of the indistinctness of that hon. gentleman’s utterance. Perhaps the ear of the Editor of the fPatriet is so attuned to the distinct articulation ef the Hon. David Laird that no other speaker from the Island succeeds in making him- self heard in the cock-loft in which the editor of the Patriot has been placed. But, one may safely venture the assertion that Mr. Yeo will be credited with an able speech in the columns of the Patriot, de- livered before recess on Monday night last, although that Hen. gentleman stood fer some minutes with his tengue cleaving to the roof ef his mouth, and was as dumb as a wooden god. After recess Mr. Yeo secm- ed to be a little more fortunate in hisattempt to speak. He had doubtless taken in fresh cargo, and went along swimmingly as long as he confined his remarks to his own little efforts in favor of the distributicn of the award, but in attempting to argue the question on its merits and the justice of the Island’s claim, he found himself ‘‘all atsea.” Itis apity that Mr. Yeo does not rise above little, petty attempts to make political capital out of this question to be used by him «at elections, and en- deavor by sound, solid argument to con- vince sueh men as Mr. Blake, Mr. Anglin and Mr. Mackenzie ef the justice of the Island’s claims te a share of the award. It is a well known fact that these leaders ef the Reform party are against the division of the money paid over on account of the award. Mr. Biake refused to support Mr. MacDonell’s resolutions. Mr. Anglin stat- ed in the Househiis opposition to the di- vision of the money proposed in those resolutions, and while Mr. Mackenzie has not yet spoken out, his views are known to be against the Island’s claims. The Liberal member for Fr ree would earn for himself the esteem of his political opponents by standing up like a man and urging the jus- tice of his country’s claims te an equitable proportion of the money paid for the fish- eries, instead of mixing up with the ques- tien protection and free trade, Railway branches, dismissals, and Indian affairs. Mr. MacDonell, of Inverness, took Mr. Yeo under his wing and endeavored TO CHAMPION the cause of the Lower Provinces on the fishery question. But this is the gentle- man whe, last year, poohed, poohed, and sneered atthe Island’s claims to what is considered by her representatives her share of the money handed ever to the Dominion Government. McDonald, of King’s, introduced his amend- ment to Dr. Fortin’s reselutions last year. The member for Inverness went te a great length out of his way to depreciate the value of Prince Edward Island fisheries. 1 will here quote THE AMENDMENT introduced by the member for King’s—Mr. A. C. McDonald :— ‘That after the word,should in the third last line, the following be inserted : ‘ Sub- ject to the claims of Prince Edward Island;’ amd at the end of the last paragraph, the following be added : ‘That Prince Edward Island has special claims upon the moneys arising out ef the award, and that the amount of such claims should be fixed and settled at as early a day as possible.’” The member for Inverness made a strong attempt to detract from the value of onr fisheries along the cest,and made use of the follewing figures in support of his statement: Mr. MacDenell said that ‘‘ neither Prince Edward Island, Gaspe, nor New Brunswick possessed fisheries equal to the fisheries surrounding the Island of Cape Breton. The following was a comparative statement of the produets of our fisheries in 1878 already mentioned amounting in all te $12,000,000, contributed by the four Provinces : Nova Scotia, $5,527,858, New Brunswick. $2,133,237, Quebee, $2,560,148, Prince Edward Island only $763,000. It appeared that Neva Scotia produced alone, in one year, more fish than the other three Previnces, and about ene half the pro- duct ef the whele Dominien.” Mr. Hackett replied to this argument very forcibly and effectually, and was ap- plauded fer his success in demolishing ‘the arguinent of the member for Inverness, These are Mr. Hackett’s words as reported in Hansard : ‘* He was a little amused at the hon. member for Inverness, (Mr. MacDonell), who waxed so indignant when referring to the hon. member for King’s (Mr. Macdon- ald) remarks reapecting the value of the Prince Edward Island fisheries. The value of the experts of fish was no criterion of the value of the fisheries. It was well known that the same amount of capital was not invested in Prince Edward Island as was invested in the larger Province ef Nova Scotia ; but that did not detract from the value of the fisheries of the for- mer Province. The hon. gentleman knew that many vessels from Neva Scotia fished around the coasts ef Prince Edward Island which possessed the most valuable fisheries in the Gulf. If the hon. gentleman’s Province had such’ valuable fisheries why were not these people kept at home? But no, they were glad to come around the shores of the Island and benefit by their valuable fisheries, and it ill became the hon. gentleman to detract from their value.” Mr. Yeo cannot but recognise that in alleying himself with Mr. MacDonell he is supporting for party purpeses a member who has done his best te depreciate the value of the Island fisheries. The member for Inverness has attacked ina very violent manner the five Conservative members from the Island, who have ably advocated the cause of their Province on the floor of Par- liament, because the gentlemen supported the motion of Mr. Richey to adjourn the debate and allow the Government the op- pertunity to bring dewn’ the premised documents. The wisdom of the course taken by the Conservatives is apparent from the fact that Sir John Macdonald has a motion on the paper in the House in con- nectien with the fishery question, to be dis- cussed on Wednesday next. If it be true that Mr. Yeo has left Ottawa to return home, then he has done so at a most criti- cal time, and a time when his vote may be wanted. When Mr. A. C. . The Ottawa Workingmen. Tue following paragraph taken from the Ottawa Citizen of the 3lst March, distinctly shows that the’ agitation at Ottawa for work, which afforded so much capital for Grit papers against the N. P., was net a genuine one, but must have been worked up by some wire pullers :— ‘‘'The first instalment of men for section ‘ B’ contract on the Canada Pacific Rail- way will leave Montreal early in April. Mr. Shields was unable te hire any number of men in Ottawa, they refusing to accept $1.60 per day unless he paid their passage to the scene of labor. He offered to bear one-half the expense, but could only get a few to accept.” It must be manifest to all that some of the working men of the capital prefer a state of pauperism to one of profitable em- ployment. Some of them are willing to lend themselves to political demagogues without the prospect of remuneration, but refuse to accept employment at remunera- tive wages. We regret very much that some Lower Province men were connected with a. demonstration which, if the pro- moters had gained their object, must have resulted in making the men of other por- tions of the Dominion support the working men at the capital. Aint, 2. coc Barque William Owen, Brown, from Rouen, January 5, for New York via Werkington, heretofore ever-due, arrived in Hampton Roads, on Saturday evening, where she was driven by stress of weather. Captain Brown arrived at Norfolk on Mon- day and made the following statement. ‘* The barque left Rouen harbor on January 25 for Workington, where she was to have taken ina cargo of coal for New York. Shortly after leaving port, the second mate and four of the crew were taken sick, and while thus short-handed, a heavy gale was encountered, which lasted six days, during which time the barque lest two lower topstails,a mainsail, jib,foretopgallant sail, maintopmast stays, and her rudder head. Before the damage could be repaired the vessel drifted into the Bay of Biscay, 26 days after leaving Rouen. Owing to to the heavy easterly gales which prevailed and the crippled conditien of the vessel, it was determined to make for some port in the United States. Heavy weather was ex- perienced during the entire veyage. Juipnigaliaialia iia A range of barracks, which are the larg- est buildings of the kind in Russia, and perhaps in the world, has been lately com- pleted at Moseow. The facade is 3,500 feet long, and the blocks are all three stories high. Separate blecks—connected by corridors—are provided for the accommod- ation of the men, for instructional and drill purpeses, for sick quarters, and for the ofticers. The rooms for the men are of large size, the ceilings being supported on light iron pillars, with windows on both sides, while all parts of the buildings are also provided with very perfect arrange- ments for warming them by means of hot air, and also for insuring adequate ventil- ation. Each company has a mess room separated altogether from the sleeping room of the men, and a large and com- modious kitchen. ee Cot. Bos Ixeersot is going to lecture in Montreal.
