One was King George and the other General Brsmwell Booth, former lender of the Salvation Army, upon whom on Monday was confer- red membership in the order oi the Companion of Honor. General Booth wrote the King how deeply ha sp- precintod the honor, which, he said, "will afford great pleasure to our people and friends throughout the Empire and many other parts of tho world." 4 - He ssid his only regret was that he vies still kept back by his serious illness from “taking an active part in that, work which has been n joy for more than fifty years. and to which, if it is God's will, I shall de- vote my remaining years," adding: f‘I have noted with extreme pleasure the good news of your Majesty's re- covery, and pray that God will grant you complete restoration to health and strength." This was the reply which came to him from Lord Stsmfordham, the King's private secretary: “The King desires me to thank you for your let- ter, and to assure you with what pleasure His Majesty conferred upon you the order of the Companion of Honor. His Majesty regrets that you are still seriously unwell and earnest- ly trusts that you may regain your health, and enjoy rest and peace after long years of active work." The King has been gaining stren- gth so rapidly thst it is now decided that he will leave the south coast on May l6 for Windsor Castle. The ex- pectation is that the King and Queen will go direct to Windsor by automo- bile. Therc was s. possibility that the King would go first. to Buckingham Palace and give London a chance to ivelcome him, but this plan has now been abandoned. "Mt.

(From Our Own Cui-espondont) OTTAWA, May 5—After several weeks bombardment. the post oflice estimates went through on Friday night inside of an hour. The Oppo- sition had come to the conclusion that the Hon. Mr. Veniot bad learn- .ed his lesson. and in round numbers $35,000,000 was passed. As stated in a. former despatch tho Opposition was no; sgainst tho estimates but political moi-administration of tlic department. So far as can be deter- mined thc Opposition reached its objective, and now Mr. Venlot, and his_ deputy will be able to sail for Prince on the seventh. During the passage of private bills. which at this stage means divorce bills, the ‘Hon. Mr. Ernest Lapointe, lvlinister of Justice, uttered a. strong protest against the measure to en- able women to establish separate domlciles for divorce. He pointed out that divorces obtained in any part of the world outside of Canada. would not be valid, and the resulm in tho long run would leave the last stage worse than the first. Others took the view thsl; the bill should only be flaplicoblo as within Canada», Mr. LsPolnto who is usually fair-g ly sound in his decisions made an-l other pronouncement in connection, with the subject oi divorce in a. mot-i ter which is really at the bottom of the hold-up by Mr. Woodsworth and others. He stated that the matter of slimoriy and custody of children: in connection with divorces granted; by the Dominion Parliament; comcsi within the purview of the provinces under section o1 of the British North‘ America Act, Mr, Lapointe said that under the, provisions of the British North Amri- icu Act, section 91, the matter oz marriage and divorce came uncle: federal jurisdiction. If these had m: become port of section 91 they would have remained within the compo:- encs of the provinces under the prn- visions oi property and civil rights. He thought that, being an exception, the matter should be construed gen- erally. Only in one case, in 1879, had s different view been held. This was the Campbell case when Parliament made a. decision with respect to the custody of children and alimony, Op- posed to the decision were Sir John A. MacDonald and Hon. David Mills. later minister of justice. Subsequent- ly when the husband was sued in tho courts by his counsel for costs, the clsim was diisllowed by Mr. Jus- tice Wilson on the grounds that. the proceedings had been not only un- constitutional but disregarded the; authority of the courts. ‘ It had been decided by authorities‘ on constitutional law that Parliaw men; had plJWElfi-o legislate with re- spect to marriage, but did not have Duwor to legislate on the consequences ‘allowing msrriage, and that Parlia- merit, although possessing power to‘ legislate with respoci, to divorce and dissolution oi marriage was without power to deal with property and civil rights. Even if Parliament had this power, llld Mr. Lnpcints, there was no doubt that the provinces aliaO had ll. and it, was better- to leave the jurisdiction to them. WASHINGTON.
