i the Quebec Legislative tinued the debate and spoks for half men.\u201d of jan hour before reccss.He Legan, by stating that he did not intend to undertake a Jong discussion on the arguments of the ministerialists as there was nothing in these arguments.The Opposition membern had been nc- cused of attacking Hon.Mr.Turgeon | but it was not their fault if his party objected to him.As regards the Abittibi investigation, Premier Gouin had stated that the Nationalists were wrong in stating that all the evidence was not allowed to be given.but when they requested the Commission to examine witness in Belgium, the request was refused.Mr.Lavergne paid his attention to {Hon.Nr.Weir as the latter bad not handled the Nationalists with gloves on Wednesday last, in his replv to Nr.Bourassa.The Provincial Treasureg, remarked the member fur Montmagny, had on that occasion \u2018stated that my language was unfit for the back alleys of Quebec.This was true: his language wax unfit for the alleys, but Hon.Mr.Weir's was.i This remark was received with certain anplause from the galleries, when Spenker Pelletier notified the spectators that if anvbody wos caught in the act of applauding.he would be ciected from the House.Mr.Laverine tonk occasion to Te mark that Hon.Mr.Taschereau was the only member of the Government who had spoken on the Government policy, and he sincerelv complimented him on hir sperch which was of - à very interesting nature, adding that if the Minister of Public Worke passed certain laws he promised he would have the support of that side of the House.He, Mr.Laverme.was no friend of Hon.Mr.Taschereau, but he had to admit that on that occasion he had accomplished more than his colleagues.In one of his political addresses at Laval.Premier Gouin had atated we had extended considerably and this wax the general tone of the Liboral candidates during the last elections.Tlowever.the ministeraliats had to admit to-dav that their statement was rather previous as the speech from the Throne in referring to Ungave only hopes that the annexation of this ter ritory to the Province of Quebec will soon ba an accomplished fact.Mr.Lavergne also epoke on the educational question and remarked that Premier Gouin had also declared that the school for higher commercial studies would be non-sectarian.sand this meant that religious instruction would be null.Mr.Laverme also said that the made a declaration which was only contrarv to the spirit and letter of the constitution, but also iniurious to the rights of the minority of Englich Protestants in the provinces The House adjourned till & o\u2019ctock.EVENING SESSION.The evening session waa entirely de voled to the debate on the Speech from the Throne, Mr.T.avergne continuing his remarks which he had commenced before recess.He began by directin, insinuations | against the Royal Commission appointed to enquire into the Abittibi affair, They had succeeded, after a long debate, in petting some explanations from the Government.| ref the latter conaisted in dividing a county in three and consequently no progress was made.He wanted to know if the advocates paid to net in connection with that affair had tried to ascertain the truth | qq or had stood guard with hatona revent ite coming out.» whiskey.distributed in | Bellechasse to he GORDONS LONDON\" DRY GIN THÉ UNIVERSAL BRAND FOR SALE BY RVEAY LRADING WINE MERCHANT.+ Provincial Treasurer bad : mot !

What they wanted was justice for the ! | people, \u201cand il we do not succeed,\u201d | | remarked Mr.Lavergne, other with : our principle will follow us and are! hound to succeed.| Hon.Mr.Devlin\u2014We were both Liheral in 1894 and I remained so, while my {friend unfortunately left me, !

The tactics used hy the Governmentremarked the Nationalist leader, will turn against it some day.The policy of the Government had been defined only by one of ita members, Hon.I.A.Taschereau, and with that exception, all the other speeches delivered by the members of the Government, were almont funeral orations.and were eulogies of what they had done in the past.There was a different tone be tween all thess spoeches, But he would not refer to that delivered hy the Provincial Treasurer, as he could not qualify it.He then took Mr.Cousineau's | amendment into consideration, dividing it into five paragraphe.The Province of Queben had enormous natural wealth and if the Government will an: nex Ungava then Quebec can honst of the greatest natural reaources on the continent, provided that the Federal vernment does ita dnty and that | the Province of Quebec \u2018doed ite, hy sdmintatering as it should, the departments of mines, forests and also the water powers, Tt har been sald, \u201cWhy compare our mines with those of Ontario ?\u201d Have we rat a Cobalt ¥ and the sucres of Cobalt is due to the policy of the CASTORIA.For Infants and Children, \u2026 : The Kind You Have Always Beaght\u2019 Bears the , Signature ef Ontario Government and the laws of that Goverhment were framed after the discovery at Cobalt.Let us advance instead of going back and let us benefit by the experience of Ontario.Our laws should be modified so that when a discovery is made in this Province, we will be ready not only for the discoverer of good faith, but it will be to the udvantsge of the Treasury, If the Minister of Coloniation and Mince wants the Province ol to progress as well as the Province of Ontario, he will have to beve the laws modified.\u201d Hon Mr.Devlin\u2014Wait for a few days and you will ses the new amendments.Continuing, Mr.Bourussa said thet the present law of this Provines favored the speculatur at the expense of the discoverer, and remarked that in Ontario there were three revenues, fret for the, Discoverer, then the teasury and t the italist.In Quebec the first, second and third Tevenues were for the speculator.He was opposed to imposing a royalty on mines.Hon.Mr.Devlip\u2014Several of your friends, including Messrs, Lavergme and Plante, wanted a royalty imposed on asbestus mines and I told them that the Government had the suggestion under consideraion.Mr.Bourassa replied that every time he evoked a Liberal principle.the Government evoked a Tory principle which the latter have to-dav abandoned.The Premier should take other means to draw capital here.and it was time that Quebec should cease to be considered an the Paradise of speculators and no more false prok- pectuses should be issued.He denounced the Attorney-General for send: ing men to gaol who do not happen to think as he did.This was Jers dangerous than allowing false mining prospectuses to be issued.Other important matters were the forests and hydraulic powers.The Congreas which met at Washington, notified the whole world that some day the coal mines would be exhausted, and would be replaced by water power.The Province of Quebec posseases the finest hydraulic powers in the world, between Temiskaminque aud Labrador.Five vears ago in the Drill Hall, in this citv, he had asked to have the water powers classified so as to reserve some of those for future cities and not be disposing of them for a mere song.Mr.Bourassa then blamed Premier Gouin for handing over Montreal to the Montreal L.H.& P.Co.He defied the Premier to deny certain of his charges about extending monopolies and twice the Premier rose and denied tho accusations, at the same time, explaining what he claimed were the facts.The Nationalist leader then referred to the sale of the Ja Tuque water power and the sale of timber limits to Mr.Breakey.As a general principle the forestry domain should be completelv separaied from the colonization domain.The forestry limits should be classified into two classes, permanent, which should remain in the department, and temporary, which are the real limits for colonization.He also referred to the sale of limits to Mr.John Rawiev, who later on resold to Mr.J.P.Mullarkey, who paid for the land with a vote note of £134,000.Nr.Bourassa them referred to the colonization policy of the Government and warming up to hi¢ subject, addressed the Ministeria! benches from the Clerk\u2019s table.He also stated that the Provincial Treasurer had accused him of making racial appeals with the people of his own language and creed and that was a legend which was current in Ottawa for a time, but does not now exist there and which will cease to exist here.He added that he had made appeals to his French Canadian countrymen, but not to stir them up against his English Protestant fellow citizens, but only to be proud of their nationality and live peacably with their countrymen of other creeds and nationalities so ns to work together in huilding up the country.These remarks were received with applause and cheers fram the galleries and the Speaker had once more to notify the spectators that he would have to clear the galleries.The Nationalist leader Inter on had a assage at arms with Hon.Mr.Devlin, and shortly before concluding his remarks referred to the speech re- vently delivered in Hamilton by Hon, Mr.Weir, when the galleries again best out in applause.r.Bourassa concluded his apeecn at 2.20 this morning amidst applause, and in the presences of a crowded house.\u2014 CARNEGIE PENSION FUND {Special to Chronicle.)

able time to report the measure.During this tong period the Senate will have nothing to do in respect to the tariff and when the bill leaves the house it will be in the hands of the committee où fitance bofore the seuate actually geis possession of it aud the debate begins.Then will bevin a long wait by the house of representatives until tho senate, amendments can be known and conferces appointed to bring about an agreement upon them.This procedure will result in each house having to remain in session with nothing to de in relation to the tariff for a period covering several weeks.In view of the extended period of waiting that will ensue several senators are considering the advisability of entering upon other legislation which they belicve ought to be passed in time to be sent over to the housn when that body has disposed of itn bill.The advocates of postal savings\u2019 banks, of the change of the date of the inauguration to a date Inter than March 4, when favorable weather is likely to prevail and of statehood for New Mexico and Arizons, have talked of the possibility of auch course, being adopted aver since they berame aware of their inability to secure legislation in the Inst session of Congress.The President's veto of the census bill makes mandatory some action io provide for the enumeration of the thirteenth census and some believe the tunity to dispose of it.The session ja eure to bring forth a deluge of bills if both houses and as senate committees are organized for business there should he no delay in getting to work in tho prevailing sentiment favors action on such matters.PILES Quickly Cured instant Relief, Permanent Cure\u2014 « Trial Package Mailed Fre: to All In Plain Wrapper.We want every man and woman suffering from the excruciating torture of piles to just send their name and address to us and get by return mail a free trial pack of the most effective | and positive cute ever known for this disease.Pyramid Pile Cure.The way to Frove what this great remedy will do in your own cass, in to just fill out free coupon and end 10 us and you will get by return mail a free trial treatment of Pyramid Pile Cure.Then after you have proven to your- sell what it can do, you will go to the druggist and get a 50 cent box, Don't undergo an operalion.Operations are rarely 8 lea to terrible con: Pile Cure reduces al maken congestion, i tehing, sores and ulcern disappear, \u2014and piles simply quit.For sale at sll drug stores at fifty cents al box.FREE PACKAGE rr Fill out the blank lines below with your name and eddress, ent ont the coupon and mail to the PYRANID DRUG COMPANY, 184 Pyramid Bldg, Marshall, Mich.A trial package of the great Pyramid Pile Cure will then be sent you at once by mail, FREE, in plain wrapper.uences.P Name.Rtreat, rsuss0es + avenvonct sansoosté seeveenianse City and State.sntsrosnetd \u2014 le CHINIC.HARDWARE CO'Y.St.Peter Street, Lower Tows Branch, FabriqueSt., Upper Tows CARRIAGE HEATERS Keep the feet warm inthe most extreme weather WEATHER STRIP, in Felt and Rubber.RUSSWIN DOOR CHECKS quickly applied, reversing of the check is unnecessary under any condition.Generul and Heavy Hardware and Sporting Goods of all Descriptiona S.J.Shaw & Co.13 AT JOBN STREEC AND Cor.Mensiaia HD ccd Noire Dome Skrocis Skates, \u201c Sleighs, Toboggans, Snowshoes, RODGERS\u2019 & SONS, t KNIVES AND SCISSORS AND SAFETY RAZORS.\u2014\u2014 TELEPHONES : Upper Tews, 573.Lowar Tous, 44.\u2014 ASK YOUR GROCER FOR IT BOOK SALE 1800 HALF-LEATHER BOUND BOOKS Selling at 20c.soos AT .+\u2026.P.J, Evoy's Bookstare, 141 Lt.John Street, PHONE 773 QUEBEI N.B.\u2014New Books received as soon as published.Ti Wintersied und eal 0 MARVEL WRIrlin ) The n>w Ÿ.feat.pasaet) y.he A use, i ; se - n di Rn SUPPLY 00.Windsor, Ont- Ge Agents toc success and often | § TERRANO Vnk PERFECT JOINTIESR FLOORING for Bathrooms, Kitchens, Billiard.Hospitals, | Armoties, rooms, Pie Btotm, Ofine B a railey Bevwoeiss, COMMISSION MERCHANT.PHONE 580 Every Woman arabe It claansug ° dings, Lob , Powee-Piabts ecd Engine-rooms.Every floor guaran A W.J.BANKS AH] MOUNTAIN MLL CORD WOOD - FOR SALE Sawed and Split, Finest Quality, at Reasonable Prices.| T.F.McLaughlin, 260 ST.PAUL ST.Yard at foot of Ramsay St.Phone 3083 TEL.BELL 609 DR.MASSUE FORTIER * SURGEON DENTIST Graduated from theFhideiphls Lentm 40 ANNE STREET | Atêt.Mary, Bea 08, every Monday.pte First Class Goods - AT- Half Price.COSTUME TWEED at ball price, 480 now Mo, 58¢.mow 29c., now 36¢c., 85c.now 43c., 90a.now 45c., $1.10 now 88c.COLORED RIBBON at half price, a good !

in Quehec at Present, Mr.John H.Roberts addressed another large gathering in the ¥Y.M.C.A.last evening.The Rev.Mr.1pbeau presided and Rev, E.J.Stobo led in prayer.Mr.Gilchrist rendered un solo most acceptably.Mr.Robrts, whose fams had pre coded him, has already made himsell a fuvurite with the Quebec people and his address was listened to with the utmost attention.The subject of his address was \u2018Marriage, Heredity and Home-Life,\u201d and he began by giving some humorous definitions of the term \u2018Marriage,\u2019 and advised the voung women in his audience, il they wished to ensure happy homes to insist on total abstinence, and to begin the home-life well by taking Christ into the company, to encourage innocent amusements and made \u2018\u2018Home, sweet home,\u201d the great counter attraction to the saloon.To the young man, his advise was not to try to maintain two homes, his own and the saloon-keepet's.Mr.Roberts said the care of the child is the most important feature of the home-life, and one of the most important truths that can be taught tron any platform is that the tendencies and characteristics of the parent are stamped upon the child, as well as the physical features, and pleaded for total abstinence in the parent for the sake of the children.Children pay the penalty of the parent's sin.and every injury done to the parent physically through strong drink is reproduced in the body of the child.Children also may inherit the appetite for stron drink.He cited instances to prove that strong drink is at the root of the deterioration of the British race.During the Boer war, cleven thousand men volunteered for service in South Mr.Antoine Guflboult has returned from Montreal.Mr, J.J.Feore, ot Scranton, Miss, formerly of Quebec, is in the
