SPEECH. 4
Hon. Gentlemen oi the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House ot Commons:
In meeting you for the first time,
since entering upon my duties as the
representative of her Majesty in this
Dominion, it adords me great pleasure
to be able to congratulate you on the
large degree of prosperity which the
people of Canada at present enjoy, as
evidenced by the expansion of trade
and commerce, the flourishing con-
dition ot the public revenues, and
the increased number of immigrants,
which are to become permanent set-
tlers amongst us. To these evidences
may be added another, which is
even more gratifying, _the almost
total cessation of the exodus of
our population which was at one time
a regretable feature of our atiairs.
The negotiations which we set on foot
during the recess between Her Maiesty’s
Government and that oi the United
states in reference to the settlement of
certain questions in dispute between
Canada and the latter country were, I
regret to say, greatly delayed by the
illness and subsequent death of
two of the most eminent mem-
bers of the commission appointed
for that purpose. Considerable
progress had been made on several of
the sub]ect's submitted; but a serious
disagreement arose between Her
Majesty’s Government and the Commis-
sion of the United States on the
question of the delimination of the
boundary between Canada and
Alaska. The question was ré-
ferred by the commissioners of their
respective governments, the commis-
sion being adjourned ts the second day of
August, next, in the hope that in the
meantime the difficulty mightbe over-
come.
In compliance with the act passed
last session a plebiscite was held on
the question of prohibition. The oti-
cial figures of the vote will be placed
before you.
I observe with pleasure that the
mother country. Canada and other
British possessions have r~ i ently adopt-
ed apenny postage leti i- rate. The
satisfaction with which this action has
been received by the Canadian people
is a further proof of the general desire
existing amongst our people for closer
relations with the mother country and
the rest of the empire.

“will prove of such service in the pro
motion of trade, and in the
general interchange of correspondence
that within a reasonable time the rev-
enue of the post office department will
be restored to its former figures. Much
1 intormation has been obtained since you
last met relative to the extra and tins
value of the deposits of gold and valu-
able minerals in the Yukon and other
parts of Canada.
The returns from the Yukon have so
far proved sufficient to meet the heavy
expenditure it was found necessary to
incur for the purpose of preserving law,
and order. It has been thought exped-`
ientin the public interest to authorize
the construction oi a line of telegraph
for the purpose of maintaining speedy
communication with' the people in those
distant territories. A measure will be
submitted to you for the better ar-
rangement of l the electoral districts _
throughout the Dominion, as also sev-
eral enactnients of less importance. `
Gentlemen ot' the House of Commons :
The public accounts will be laid before
you and _ also the estimates for the
coming year. They have been prepared
with a due regard to efficiency and
economy, and the responsibilities arising,
from the rapid progress ot the country.
Hon. Gentlemen of the Senate :
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
I am confident that the important
subjects Ihave mentioned to you, will
receive your serious consideration
and that it will be your earnest
endeavor to promote the public
interests and prosperity of Canada.
FASTEST BALLOON TRIP.
Three Prussian Officers Travel 423
Miles ill Loss Than Four
Hours-
ii-__
BERLIN, March 13-Three Prussian
otiicers, Lieutenants Siegsfeld, Hilde- R
braiidt. and,H:irthausen. have made the
swiftest balloon trip on record; Hari-‘
hausen is a member of the ballooning
department of the general staff and
gives a thrilling description of his ex-
perience. ' '
‘-On the morning of March 3 we de-
cided to ascend from Templehoter field.
There was a strong. steady northwest
wind. Our plan was to descend at
Breslau, in Silesia, and bi back to
Berlin the same evening. We had _an
ordinary military balloon, but heavily
ballasted and we shot up at 12.10 with
fearful rapidity. I
The balloon tore along over the plain
watered by the Oder. We noticed the
speed when looking down at the earth,
but on looking upwards there was no
sense of motion whatever. We_felt as if
the balloon was hanging still in the sky.
“We swept over Breslau at a height
of 4.000 feet in little less than' three
hours. We made no attempt to descend.
the wind being too strong. We were
travelling sixty miles an hour
with ease and smoothness and a de-
lightful sense ot exhilaration impossible
l to describe. -
“Breslau passed. the wind increased
and we determined to offer no resist-
ance, but turn our backs to it- The
balloon gradually rose and at 3 o’clock
we crossed the Austrain frontier at an
elevation of 5,200 feet at over seventy
miles an hour. We' decided to sink the
balloon and safely brought it to a
standstill at the Village of Baguska, in
,N Galicia, 423 miles from Berlin, as the
crow tiles, at 4 o’c1ock.
“This is the fastest balloon trip 011
record, the previous record being held
by a pair of French aeronauts. who
traveled four hours at sixty miles an
hour." This feat has excited great in-
terest here asd the thrfe oiiicers were
specially complimented by the Kaiser.
