force is marching from Ganacosta toward the Nicaraguan frontier.\\ alparaiso, March 15\u2014The possibility of war between Argentina on account of the aid given by the former to the revolutionists in Rio Grande dn Sul, will be a material factor in the settlement of the questions in dispute with Chili and the Argentine Rejpnblic.There is no doubt that the warlike in Rio de Janeiro hastened the agreement which was reached yesterday in Santiago between tho Chilian Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister from Argentina.From this agreement the territorial lines were so adjusted that neither nation will acquire new ports ou the Atlantic and Pacific Ocdtins, This is regarded as a victory for Chili.Full details of the treaty will be sent to day to the Chilian Council of State.The treaty will then be sent to the Argentina Government, whero early and approving action is expected.No doubt exists in Chili that Argentina\u2019s practical surrender of her claim to Chilian territory was caused by her more pressing trouble with Brazil.It is well known in Brazil that aid has been given the revolutionists of Rio Grande Do Sal by Argentina, and loyal Brazilians arc demanding that summary steps be taken to punish that country.The aid given hy Buenos Ayres has not been so effective as the Federal revolutionists hoped for.News conics from Artigas that the Federal army, which is now besieging Santa Ana, hns been unable to attack the town because the cartridges sent from Buenos Ayres are of a different calibre from the rifles, and both guns and cartridges are therefore useless.Meanwhile 1,000 Government troons are hastening to reinforce the Government army in Rio Grande Do Sul and decisive action must soon follow.AMERICAN.Washington.March 15\u2014The Senate

present, existing there and the part borne in the recent revolution by representatives of the United States.It is believed that Admiral Brown and either Gen.Schofield or Capt.Hominon of the navy, will be Mr.Blount\u2019s colleague on the Commission.Mr.Ellis H.Mills, a clerk in the State Depat tment and at one time private secretary to ex-Secretary Bayard, has been detailed to act as Secretary of the Commission.Chairman Blount, accompanied by Mrs.Blount and Secretary Mills, left here last night for San Francisco rm Chicago.It is thought that arrangements will be made to have the Pacific mail steamship \u201cRio De Janeiro,\u201d which will leave for Chili March 24, tall at Honolulu.Chicago, March 15\u2014A few minutes after 2 o\u2019clock this morning fire started in Stephen

of Commons on Monday night, that he would not ask the House to ratify the French treaty this session of Parliament, as there were some points in the draft treaty which would require still further consideration.Apparently this decision was reached at a late stage in the day, or in other words after the Plenipotentiaries bad appended their signatures to the agreement, for the High Commissioner for Canada, Sir Charles Tapper, who acted on behalf of the Dominion iu negotiating the treaty, says he c&nnot understand the action of\tthe Ottawa Ministry.jHc declared\tto-day to tho Star's correspondent\tthat every detail of the French treaty was before the Canadian Government when the authorized British Plenipotentiaries signed it.Moreover, he states that the treaty, as signed, was made in exact conformity with the Canadian Government\u2019s wishes, except the most favored nation clause, stipulating that Canada should receive the same treatment in France with regard to the articles mentioned in the treaty as any other favored nation, while Canada was to extend like treatment to France in all articles, but Sir Charles stated he had every reason to believe that the explanation he had given on this point was pertectly satisfactory.If it was not, the Canadian Government had been given plenty of time to express their disapproval, for the treaty was sent to Ottawa on February 6th, the same day on which it was signed in Paris by the Plenipotentiaries.But not a single intimation of disapproval was re coived until Mr.Foster\u2019s exceptions in the House on Monday evening were cabled here.I understand that the Colonial and Foreign Offices are utterly at a loss to appreciate the Canadian position.They do not understand how it is possible, after the treaty having been drawn up in accordance with the Dominion Government\u2019s wishes and signed by Sir Charles Tapper on their behalf, that the Minister of Finance should, without expressing any disapproval to the authorities here after having received the draft treaty, rise in the House and declare that he objected to the favored nation clause aud some of the stipulations about canned fish.Lieutenant-Governor

stairs, where he had been asked to wait so that ho could act as witness to the will.Some fifteen minutes later ho was called up by Mr.Ernest Fortin, who said that Mrs.Fortin had given her husband something which ho complained had severely bumeu him.He noticed no other change iu the patient than a natural weakening in his system, and was not much impressed by what Ernest Fortin had said.He was under the impression that perhaps Mrs.Fortin had given her husband brandy, which he had to take and that this had burned him.At all events he did not give himself extra trouble about the matter since the family physician, Dr.LeBel, was present.When he saw the deceased on this second occasion he was unable to make a will.He was not comito* menti*.This witness was cross-examined at some length upon

the House this afternoon, the Speaker took the chair at three o'clock.When the members took up the order paper to-day, they found no less than twenty qiiestious in reference to the census, the majority of them asking for details as to the \u201cindustrial establishments\u201d therein enumerated.The Finance Minister was only able to give answers to two of them, which related to the town of St.Marys and the villages of Momington and Milverton.Hon.Mr.Ives, replying to Mr.Davin, stated that out of the 137 charges preferred against Commissioner Herchmer, of the North West Mounted Police, Judge Wet-more had reported that 14 hud been proved and 28 proved in part, but that none affected his honesty, his business ability or the efficiency of the force.The Government was now considering what action should be taken in the matter.Hon.Mr.Foster, replying to Mr Rider, explained that the census returns had beeu calculated by electrical machines, which were secured from Herman Hollrith, of Washington.These machines had been endorsed bv the United States Government and were considered reliable.Mr.Rider had a question asking for the value of capital invested in agricultural products, but the Finance Minister explained that only the quantities of the agricultural products were obtained and not the values.Mr.Perry moved for details of the expenditure incurred in carrying on the borings in the Straits of Northumberland to obtain data as to the probable cost of a tunnel.He charged that the Government had taken all the expenditure out of the hands of Mr.Palmer, the Civil Engineer, and placed it in the hands of Senator Howlan, who he charged with selling for his own benefit coal purchased with Government money, with having made an^arrangement by which he was to receive half the profits to be made out of the 812,000 voted by Parliament for that purpose and with having insisted that he should be paid 8500, the amount of his sessional indemnity lost by working for the tunnel scheme out of the same vote.It was true, he said, that Mr.Howlan had denied these charges in a letter to the Halifax Htrald, but he (Mr.Perry) did not consider that Mr.Palmer was of disordered mind os charged by Mr.Howlan.He warned the Government not to trifle with the people of Prince Edward Island on this tunnel question, for if the terms of Confederation were not observed there would yet be trouble.Air.Yeo protested against the manner iu which the people of the Island had been tricked by Sir John Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper at the last election, and demanded that the terms of Confederation should be carried out.Mr.Mulock drew attention to the grave charges brought by Mr.Palmer against Mr.Howlan.These charges meant that a member of Parliament had beeu trafficking in a public grant, had been violating the Independence of Parliament Act and urged that the Finance Minister, os the guardian of public money, should give some explanation or denial of the charges against Senator Howlan, who had been chosen as the Gov ernment s election agent and who, when he had been rejected by the people, was put back into the Senate.Hon.Mr.Foster\u2014This is a motion for information.Carry the motion and you will get the information.Mr.Davies recalled the electioneering movements of Senator Howlan in 1891 and commented at some length on the charges made against the Senator by Mr.Palmer.If those charges were true, they were a direct violation ol the Independence of Parliament Act.Hon.Mr.Foster contended that the matter, being merely a misunderstanding between two individuals, was one outside tiie jurisdiction of the House.He denied that Mr, Howlan was sent to Loudon to interview Sir Douglas Fox.He went on an entirely dif ferent mission.He defended Mr.Howlan\u2019s action in the elections of 1391, aud declared that it was not true that he had had a reversion of his Senatorial appointment in his pocket.He had resigned to run the elcc lions, was defeated, and after the elections when the Government came to look around for a new Senator from the Island, they could not find a better man than Mr.Howlan, who received a new appointment.He detailed the story of the financial transactions between Mr.Palmer and the Government, from which it appeared that Mr.Palmer lacking money had secured advances from Mr.Howlan and that the difficulties which thereafter « were of a private nature.The motion passed and then Hon.Mr.Foster presented the information asked for, one of the quickest responses to a return on record.Mr.Maclean (York) moved : \u201cThat it expedient with the end in view of encourag ing native products, to adopt a nickel coinage in place of the present copper coinage Hon.Air.Foster agreed that the motion was a good one and that a nickel coinage would be cleaner than the copper issue, as well as developing the nickel industry.The motion was passed.It being six o\u2019clock, the Speaker left the chair.AFTER RECESS.The

Company.Mr, Mara.The House then went into Committee upon Mr.Weldon\u2019s bill to disfranchise electors who have taken bribes.Mr.Jeannotte denied that he had ever de dared that he had bought votes and that he had secured his election by corrupt means.This was impossible, for he had been elected by acclamation.He took issue with Toronto newspaper which had declared that the French were a corrupt race and proceeded to declare that anyone who visited London would do penance for that statement, citing in support several recent scandals in the English aristocracy.He then again condemned the principle of the bill.Hon.Mr.Mills suggested some verbal amendments which Mr.Weldon accepted and then Mr.Jeannotte again moved that the Committee rise.The chairman declared the motion lost.Col.Amyot suggested the withdrawal of the kill for this session and to introduce it iu a modified form next year.Mr.Jeannotte said that he opposed the hill because it would encourage corruptions.For instance, 25 electors could sign a petition to the effect that there was corruptions in a constituency and then the candidate would have to buy up the 25 electors.Mr.Coats worth objected to the bill as cumbersome and because there was no provision for appeal.Mr.Weldon complained that the members were not sympathetic enough.Mr.Lister warmly supported the bill, because bribery was spreading through the couutry like a cancur.Ho appealed to his fellow-members from every Province to endorse this measure of purifying the public life of Canada.Mr.Dickey having endorsed the bill and Mr.Alasson having opposed it.M.Choquette held that the law was unnecessary, as there was already sufficient on the Statute book to cover every such offence.Hon.Mr.Mills suggested that the bill should be referred to a select committee to report.Mr.Deltsle raised thepoint that there were not sufficient Judges in Quebec Province to sit in 65 constitueucies in the manner provided by this bill.He was afraid that such investigations as proposed by the bill would enable the Judges to injure their opponents.Mr.Fremont supported the principle of the bill, but objected to its provisions as being unsatisfactory.The first clause was carried on a division of 55 to 27- On the fourth clause, governing the publication of the notice of proceedings, Hou.Mr.Ouimet moved that such notices should, in Manitoba, be published in the French language.This was carried after a lively discussion, during which Hon.Mr.Davies protested against perpetuating the use of that system in Manitoba and declared that the amend-ment would merely block the operation of the hill in those districts where there were no French papers, Mr.Jeannotte moved an amendment to clause five to provide for the punishment of the btilier aa well as the bribce.At 11.40 the Committee rose, reported progress and asked leave to sit again.\u201cWhen shall the Committee eit again ?\u201d asked t he Speaker.\u201cNever !\u201d cried

Captain Baker, the indefatigable representative of the County in the Legislature is in no way relaxing his efforts to have the Government take the matter in hand.The member for Levis was very active in the House last session whenever legislation affecting the working classes was upon the fa/n's, and we are informed that his course in Parliament was highly approved by his constituents.A Compliment to the Dominion.The appointment of the Bishop of Rupert\u2019s Land to the position of Prelate in the Alost Distinguished Order of St.Michael and St.George is a unique compliment, so far aa Canada is concerned.The office has, however, been held by such distinguished Colonial divines as the famous Bishop Selwyn, of New Zealand, subsequently of Lichfield ; Bishop Perry, of Melbourne, and Bishop Austin, of British Guiana.For twenty-eight years the Alost Rev.Robert Machray, D.D., has pre sided over this great district of Rupert\u2019s Land, which once included Manitoba and the Territories, and he is now Metropolitan as well as Bishop.The honor is well merited.\u2014Toronto Empirt.OaeVleworMr.Uladstone\u2019» BUI.The plan of the bill, therefore, has become a feeble compromise between the two views, which never can work.It is neither full blown Federalism\u2014which would frighten everybody\u2014nor full-blown Irish supremacy, which England, meek as she is, might resent \u2014but, as Mr.Balfour called it, \u201ca bastard combination\u201d of Federal Government, Colonial Government and the existing British Constitution, which is neither flesh nor fowl nor good red herring.The Home Rule Bill has a little of each, and very little of the advantages of any.It has not the logic of the Federal system, nor the simplicity of the Colonial system, nor the strength and concentration of the Parliamentary system.It is a confused medley of inconsistencies, and, like all medleys of inconsistencies, is sure to set its supporters at loggerheads with each other

An address will be delivered by Al.F.Hackett, Esq.the eloquent M.P.P.for Stanstead.The WhelQifiiarueaa Affair.Taken En Délibéré.Evidence in the action of damage for libel taken by Hon.P.Garne&u against Mr.J P.Whelan and referred to in yesterday\u2019i Chronicle was resumed yesterday morn ing, when Mr.Whelan deposed to the giving an order for the 83,000 paid to Beaudet, Garne&u and Lefaivre, and said that as 8300,000 was then claimed by him from the Government, which $237,000 was subsequently paid him he considered a request to pay $3,000 by Mr, Garneau to be synonymous with pressure Air.E.B.Garneau produced a letter he had written soon after the alleged libel had been published.Hon.L.P.Pelletier deposed that at the time referred to by Whelan in the alleged libel, October, 1888, he (witness) went to Hon.P.Garneau as attorney for Beaudet, Lefaivre & Garneau and spoke to him with view to having him speak to Mr.Whelan about it, when Mr.Whelan promised in his (witness\u2019) presence to pay the amount.Wit ness had at the time his doubts whether Whelan ever intended to pay the sum, but it was subsequently paid by an order from Whelan on the Government authorized by Mr.Garneau.Mr.Beaudet deposed that he was not member of the firm which bore his name, but that he allowed the use of his name and was paid on salary.He had called upon both Messrs.Garneau and Lesage to have them speak to Air.Whelan about paying the money.Mr.Lortie produced Mr.Whelan's evi deuce before the Royal Conunission.Messrs.Lefaivre and n.Garneau were both examined.The latter did not know much about the internal affairs of the firm as ho was the travelling member.He made objection for some time to answer a question as to whether Mr.Garneau seemed much in terested in the business.Hon.P.Garuean simply proved the writ ing of the letter of the 9th February to the Star.Mr.0.Alurphy said on the face of the letter written by Mr.Whelan there was ?o libel.Air.W.J.Jarvis, of the Star, said the same thing, but on cross-examination admitted that surrounding circumstances made its statements appear to contain more of an imputation against Mr.Garneau.Air.Dalby, of the Star, corroborated this evidence.Mr.Lesage, deputy commissioner of Public Works, produced official documents, first a report from Mr.Derome certifying that 335,000 could be safely advanced Whelan, and endorsed on the back 13th July, 1888,and authorized on the 16th by Hon.P.Garneau to be paid, and also a warrant on receipt for the same date signed by Mr.Whelan.He also produced another report from Derome stating that they could safely pay the 83.000 for which he had given an order to Beaudet, Garneau,and Lefaivre,said report also having been endorsed and ordered to be paid by Hon.P.Garneau.A warrant also for that amount was receipted by Beaudet on the 10th October.Since his evidence of yesterday he remembered that when Mr.Beaudet went to him to know how he could get Air.Whelan to pay the amount of $3,000, witness told him that if he got Mr.Whelan to give an order for the amount on the sums coming to him for the Court House affair, it would be submitted to the Commissioner to have the payment ratified.Witness also testified that several other orders ha.l been paid signed by Whelan though after signing them he had revoked them and protested against them being paid, and in especial one to the order of Mr.Ford for $15,000, which had caused considerable trouble; Finally, after all the evidence was concluded.Messrs.Burroughs and Fitzpatrick Sleaded the case for the plaintiff ami Hou.E.Flynn for the defendant, and Judge Andrews took it en délibéré.Mf.Blake's gpeeah Condemned BT THE PROVINCIAL GRAND LODGE ON ORANGEMEN.Following is the text of the resolution recently passed by the Orange Provincial Grand Lodge :\u2014 That this Provincial Grand Lodge views with distrust and alarm the action of the Gladstonian Government in pandering lo the disloyal factions in Ireland by the introdne-tiou of a Home Rule measure, which, if carried, would place the Protestant minority there at the mercy of an intolerant majority, whose traditional hatred of Protestantism is only equalled by their hatred of Great Britain.That we pledge our moral and material support to our co-religionists, the Protestant minority in Ireland, in their efforts to maintain the integrity of the Empire, the civil and religions freedom, purchased with the blood of their ancestors, together with the material prosperity which they have won by their tact and industry, while the demagogues who are now clamoring to be their rulers have been turning the country into a pandemonium.That we view with feelings akin to sorrow the course pursued by our kinsman, the Hon.Edward Blake, who, having only a theoretical knowledge of Irish airs, has rleemed it his duty to espouse the Home Rule cause and ally himself with men who are at once the ancient foes of the Protestant minority and the sworn enemies of Britain\u2019s greatness, thereby conveying the idea to the British public that Protestant Canada is in sympathy with the separatists, while he well knows that the contrary is the fact.That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the Sentinel, to the Iri*h Tune*, the Derry Sentinel, the Belfast Weekly New* and other Loyalist papers in Ireland, as well as to the Imperial Grand Master, the Hon.Edward Blatcc, the Right Hon.W.E.Gladstone, Wm.Johneon, Col.Saunderson.GREAT SPRING SALE I HAVE NOW IN STOCK, FOR SPRING, the most complete assortment and the Newest Patterns in Canadian, French and English Tweeds.Stanley Costume Cloth, heviots, Navy and Black Serge.Also, don\u2019t forget to ask for our OB OF UNLÂUNDRIED SHIRTS I WORTH $1.10 FOR 75c.W.SIMARD, 137 St.Joseph Street, St.Roch\u2019s.Telephone 145.February 22, 1893.\tFeb22-Lm St.John Street, Upper Town, and Sous* le-Fort Street, Lower Town.Don\u2019t Wait for tne Sick Room.The experience of physicians and the public proves that taking Scott\u2019s Emulsion produces an immediate increase in flesh ;

nations of the world will drop anchor ui the harbor of New York on April 20 as Suests of the United States, New York has one nothing as vet toward preparing for the entertainmeut of the notable güesls of the nation who will come With tbe foreign fleets to take part in the national jubilee.The city Itself has no fund on which it can draW for such a purpose, the State Legislature has made no provision for thti event, and the committee appointed by the Chamber of Commerce to entertain distinguished foreign Visitors who.come in an official capacity to the World\u2019s Fair has not yet decided whether or not it will take part in any entertainment given in honor of the foreign admirals and ôther naval officers.\u201d The nations which have accepted the invitation of the United State* to bend fleets are England, Russia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Brazil, Chili and the Argentine Republic.It is still possible that two or three other nations nay be represented, but even if no other countries respond, Admiral Gherardi announces that between thirty and thirty-five foreign war ships will meet at Hampton Roads, and, ac companicd by the escorting squadron of fifteen United States cruisers, will proceed to the naval review, to be held in thisbarbor.The week between April 17 and R4 to bb spent by the ships in Hampton Roads will be de Voted to entertainments

April 27, the fleet will proceed from the vicinity of the Liberty Statue in double column, the American vessels on the right\\ to the vicinity of the flrand Monument, where they will come lo
