Sir Charles Tupper was in his place and introduced a_ bill to increase the salary of the Auditor-General. in answer to Mr. Laurier Sir John said the writ for Kent had been issued and the writ for Russell would be issued at once. Mr. Freeman then resumed the debate on reciprocity. The House adjourned at 12 o'clock. ee Reciprocity in Natural Products. Orrawa, April 3. Since the discussion in the House last Wednesday, relative to Canada placing on the free list certain natural products speci- fied in clause nine of the tariff act, the equivalents of which have been placed by Congress on the American free list, the attention of the Government has been officially called to the matter by the Wash- ington authorities through Sir Lionel Sack- E DAILY EXAMINER, - TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. | Don't forget the Bazaar in the) NOTES AND COMMENTS. Vhings Said and Done on Streets and Elsewhere. The beautiful snow is with us once more; , remain long. In afew short days we may expect a soft snap, and the usual slushy walking. ‘Then we can properly appreciate the wretched crossings and sidewalks finished by a considerate City Council. + * For some time past ithas been hinted that certain changes were to be made in the persone! of the police force. One or two men were anxious for positions thereon and it was currently reported that room was to be made for them by dismissing some of the old officers. As yet no person has been dismissed; but the veteran sergeant McGonnell has been appointed a bailiff to make room for one of these applicants. Is this but the inserting of the thin edge of the wedge ? * % The Stipendiary Magistrate is evidently determined to do all iv his power to put a stop to the drunkenness and rowdyism which has lately been so rampant through- out the city. The police, acting under his instructions, have, during the past few days, captured a goodly number of these worth- ies, all of whom have been punished with the utmost rigor of the law. This is right. * * * There are, however, a large number of these roughs still at liberty. They haunt the lower portion of Queen Street, princi- pally hanging about the lanes in that neighborhood, where they do their drinking and sleep off the effects of their debauch. There the police might look for them to the great relief of the people living in the neighborhood. ville West. The memorandum points out that the products referred to have been made free of customs duty when entering the United States, and the hope is expressed that Canada will recipro- cate. The question has been fully consid- ered by the Privy Council and though Clause 9 is clearly susceptible of two con- structions, the Government being desirous of carrying out its avowed policy of reci- procity in natural produots, has decided to accede to the request of the Washington Executive, and a proclamation will shortly be issued giving effect to the provisions of Clause 9. } French Politics. Paris, April 3. The Journal des Debats and Republique Franeaise violently attack the new Cabinet. It is announced that Sen. Ferroinlat and M. D. Louis >Montaud, members of the Chamber of Deputies, will become Minister of Justice and Minister of Public Works respectively. In the Chamber of Deputies this even- ing, M. Floquet read a statement setting forth the policy to be pursued by the Cabi- net. He appealed to the United Repub- lican sections for support, and asked them to leave to the Government the question of the revision of the constitution of the ministry, since they desired the adoption of well-considered reforms and the main- tenance of peace. The Chief Justiceship. New York, April 5. The Herald’s Washington despatch says there are excellent reasons for saying that Wm. L. Putnam, of Maine, will be tender- ed a piace on the United States Supreme Bench. The President is said to have been so pleased with Putnam’s conduct of the Fishery negotiations that he tendered him the first vacancy among the Associate Justices, and his friends have gathered from this that he not unlikely will be ap- pointed Chief Justice, as he is competent to fill a higher as well as the lowest position on the bench. Peace Negotiations Collapse. Rome, April 3. Signor Viale, Minister of. War, considers+ that the negotiations for peace between the commander of the Italian force and King John, of Abyssinia, have collapsed, and that an engagement between the two armies is imminent. Advices from Massowah state that the Abyssinians captured the village of Mulental, the inhabitants of which were friendly to the Italians, and massacred all the men, women and children. Floods in Germany. Berwin, April 3. The Warthe and Rhine rivers .are sub- siding. The water of the Vistula is still spreading and now covers 300 or 400 square miles. Seventy-nine villages with a population of 30,000 are submerged. Ex- rts calculate that it will require months of labor to drain the flooded districts. An Election. MonrreaL, April 3. The election for the Housé of “Commons in L’Assomption County to-day resulted in the election of Gauthier (Liberal) by 96 majority. Obituary. Montreal, April 3. Hon. Jno. Hamilton, Senator, died to- day. He leaves an estate valued at $5,000, - 000 and a large family, havingjbeen thrice married. A Good Nomination. Toronto, April 3. The Toronto Presbytery unanimously nominated Rev. D. M. Gordon, of Halifax, as Moderator of the General Assembly. Weather Bulletin. Toronto, April 4—10 a. m.

Now is the time to purchase cheap goods in house furnishings. ap 4 4i eod —_>-— * The suggestion that our Legislature give the Stipendiary Magistrate increased powers under the revised statutes is timely, and should, in the interests of the public, be acted upon. The limit for drunkenness and disorderly conduct is one month’s im- prisonment; but that punishment does not appear to have any perceptible etfect upon these crimes. Let the proposed change be made during the present session. * * I must congratulate the Lyceum Comedy Co. upon the success of their last perform- ance, ‘** British Born’ was capitally mounted and played, considering the short time it has been in preparation. I have seen the same piece played by professivon- als ; but not much better than on Monday night. I trust that the Company will see fit to repeat the play for some worthy ob- ject, say Queen Square Gardens, as many people were prevented from witnessing it on Monday evening owing to the stormy weather. * * The regent decision of Judge Peters in the Scott Act case of Weatherbie vs. Nicholson, is océasioning much talk about town. His defining Bass’ ale and light wines as exilerating fluids, and not necessarily in- toxicating liquors, is not looked upon with favor by the temperance advocates ; but those who like a small decoction of either the one or the other take kindly .to-the decision.
