met yesterday Mr.Don M.Dickinson stated that counsel for the United States had already flled a te-port in the first case anj o\\h®rs, would be put in as soon as they, were received frotn the printep- Mr.Dickinson went on to say that ue tiled a motion to dismiss claim No.26 for $62,827.12 co^ts in the \u2018'Say ward\u201d case.The ground for the motion was that the costs were incurred by the Canadian Government and not by individuals and therefore the claim did not come within the terms of tho convention.In case the oppositionfptended t% press the claim he would ark for au adjournment peudiug tho.auswee of his Government, M,r.Pstor«expressed surprise that the motion should be mado and «aid he certainly intend-ed to press the claim.The sum named was «Qtuauy paid by the Canadian Government, which, so far as this tribunal was çooovrfned, was tho British Government, Mr.Dickinson stated that such act as this had no more right to Lm putin than would a claim for °f either Government before the Pavis tribunal.Costs incurred by individnals might be put in, but not costs incurred by either Government.They were excluded by the term^of the convention.Mr.Peters was satistfed to let the matter stand over as suggested and further proposed that judgment be not given in the \u201cBlack Diamond\u201d and \u201cJames Gaudiu\" motions, until he had heard from Sir J.Pauncefote, to whom he had wired and who would communicate with Secretary of State Olney.Justice King then announced that nothing further would be done regarding the olajm for costs in the \u201cSayward'\u2019 case until it was reviewed by counsel on either side.It was then arranged to take up the Carolina\u201d case at 10 30 Wednesday morning.In the Exchequer Court yesterday the trial of the Queen

the adoption of the Address, for up to yesterday the business of the House proceeded rapidly.But their friends in the country will be apt to consider, and very naturally so too, that they have made a most lamentable error in fighting against the Government\u2019s proposal for the conversion of theProvincial debt.One would have thought that a scheme which is calculated to save the Province an annual amount of 9200,000 would have met with the unanimous approval of the House, and wo have no hesitation in predicting that the leaders of the present Opposition will not take long to bitterly repent the stand they have taken for mere party purposes against what is so decidedly in the interests of the Province.The Hon.Mr.Atwater made an admirable speech in thia sense yesterday.He regretted that there was not more patriotism on the part of the Op}>osition, and quoted from speeches made\tby\tthe\tHon.\tMr.\tShehyn when\the\twas\tProvincial\t\tTreasurer to show\t\tthat\the\tought\tto con-

DEC.2,18)6.Si AT THE HOUSE.Then was nothing but the debt conversion scheme debated in the House yesterday, but it was discussed pretty vigorously and some cle*er and interesting speeches were made.Social reference will be found elsewhere to t»e Hon.Mr.Atwater\u2019s defence of his sdicme.But a word or two of editorial notco is demanded by the extremely clever s^-ches delivered last night by the Hou.Messrs.Flynn and Pelletier, which castrated as they merited those members of the House who appear to be determined, for party ends, to stood in the way of a large annual saving to the Province.There ought to be no question of (tolitics in a matter of such vital importance to the \u2022ountry as this.The first Opposition amendment to the scheme was voted down at midnight by 37 votes to 20.The success of the project is assured.In tho sider himself irrevocably bound to the present proposal.In other countries, too, conversions of the public debt have been the order of the day, as Mr.Atwater pointed out, for the last hundred years He showed that the best English financiers, such as Mr.Goschen in recent times, and Walpole and Pitt in days gone by, had been parties to Such conversions.Commenting upon the statement of Mr, Parent that the present scheme of conversion was different from that effected by the City of Quebec, the hon.gentleman said that all he a^ked was to be authorized ( to make the conversion upon the best j terms that were found possible.In Que I bcc the citizens had thus shown their con fidcnco in the Mayor and Council todothe best that was possible.But the Province had no intention of going to an ordinary firm of contractors or brokers and entrusting them with the conversion, though that is what the City of Quebec did.It would undoubtedly have done better had it effected the conversion itself, for, of course, the intermediaries could not afford to work for nothing and must have their own profit.Mr.Atwater was of tho opinion,\thowever,\tthat\tit was just as well to keep that profit for the\tcity or tho\tProvince as the case might be.The hon.gentleman pointed out that there was always an advantage ia bonds that had a long period to run, as had been most effectually pointed out last week by the member for Megantic.Investors in England would much rather have three or p.c.bonds which had forty years to run than 5 or 5À p.c.bonds which were redeemable in six or seven years.He believed that the holders of our present bonds would be willing to tako new securities from us at a rate that would not them an investment of p.c.lii that case we could afford to convert oven the earlier issue of our bonds, and would be able to realize more than sufficient to extinguish the increaseddebt when it would become due in addition to tho saving in interest in the meantime.So far as tho sinking fund was concerned it would bo an easy matter to arrange that it should bo managed for us.If deemed necessary wc MAYOR PARENT ON THE CONVERSION SCHEME.His Worship Mayor Parent has played so important a part in the conversion of the city debt that his utterances upon the more momentous question of the conversion of thedebtof the Province wasawaited with considerable interest.His Worship made known his views on the subject in the House yesterday afternoon and was listened to, as may well be believed, with considerable interest.As was quite natural, Mr.Parent is not opposed to the principle of conversion and believes that under certain circumstances it is desirable.But we regret to note that he found an enormous difference between the conversion of the Quebec city debt and that of the Province, and a difference that was not favorable to that proposed by the Government.The city, he said, knew at what price their debentures would be redeemed and what price the new securities could be sold for.They knew that they were saving 818,000 hy their scheme, but in the case of the Province he believed the contrary was the case.He suggested that the Government might do better to make a definite arrangement with a broker upon stated conditions.His Worship\u2019s speech was a very exhaustive one and we regret that only a brie synopsis of it can appear in our columns to-day.It was undoubtedly the best that was made on tho Opposition 'side of tho House.Tho amendment proposed by him, ia, as will ba seen by our Parliamentary report, a very moderate one, approving the idea of the conversion, but asking for more precise information as to its mode of operation.This was the weak point of the amendment and why the House rejected it.The giving of further information at this stage of the scheme would probably causo its total failure.Mr.Parent, we know, is too patriotic to desire this.We wish we could say as much for the other members of tho Opposition.EDITORIAL NOTES.All Canadians will regret to learn of the ill-health of H.R.H.the Princess Louise which has prevented her late intended visit to the Queen at Balmoral, and will look anxiously for news of her improvement.Lieutenant-Governors have never been known, so far as we can ascertain, to express themselves upon the political issues of the day, and no Lieutenant-Governor has ever had a nicer conception of gubernatorial propriety than His Honor Sir Adolphe Chapleau.These facts will serve to emphasize the surprise and indignation which was created last night by lihtecUur\u2019s statement that Sir Adolphe Chapleau had expressed his approbation of tho terms of the school settlement.Our contemporary is really allowing its zeal to carry it too far.death of the late has been Since the lamented Archbishop of Canterbury there some doubt as to tho Pan-Anglican Conference arranged by the deceased to be held next year at Lambeth, and which was expected would be attended by a large number of American and Canadian Bishops,\u2014the Lord Bishop of Quebec amongst the number.The Right Rev.Dr.Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, in an interview just granted to a representative of tho Associated Press on the Conference, said :\u2014\u201cAt present 1 do not know of any changes that will be «lado in the programme for the Lambeth Conference in consequence of tho death of Dr.Benson.I have been so overwhelmed with affairs that I have not had time to carefully consider the matter.Doubtless there will be some charges that will have to be made, but nothing material, as far as the American Bishops are concerned.We expect at least 200 Bishops to be present, and the most important contingent from abroad will be those from the United States.We in England always consider the American Bishops, though the Episcopalians are not as numerous as some other Christian bodies in America, to represent the American people.One of the topics for discussion is international arbitration, and I may say that the Bishops in England are profoundly thankful for the turn that the recent political events have taken.I do hope all of our brothers in tho United States and Canada who have intimated the probability of then coming will manage to do so, and that those who at present do not anticipate being present will yet seo their Way to visit Lambeth by July oil» next.I need hardly add, perhaps, that the candid invitation sent them by the late Primate will be repeated by myself in tho fu.lcst de- ft *ret*.Madame Albani and her company of able ¦apporter* met with a tremendous reception at the hands of a crowded audience last night The Academy was filled to overflowieg and even standing room was at a premium.That the andience was an enthusiastic one it superfluous to say and that its enthusiasm was jastifled is equally a foregone conclusion.Madame Albani\u2019s reception took the form of a perfect ovation, such as she has always been accorded here, tor there is no one in the musical world who can rank with the great Canadian cantatrice in the estimation of the people of Quebec.Last night her beautiful voice seemed as fresh,.as pure and as entrancing as when she first visited this city, \u2022till possessing all of its old charms.Madame herself looked remarkably well with all her accustomed grace of presecOJ, having seemingly changed in no way from her last visit.She was received with great applause when ¦he made her appearance, smiling and bowing profusely right and left, and always held the audience apell bound while al.e sang.At every interval rapturous applause broke forth and no amount of encore* seemed to I;ive satiety to the appetites of the muaic overs.The Diva\u2019s first appearance during the evening was in the grand air \u201cQui la voce\u20191 from \u201cI Puritani\" by Bellini.The selection afforded ample scope for the display of her wonderful voice, which seemed to take the highest and the lowest notea with equal ease and sweetness.A deafening storm of applause greeted the eud of the item and the singer was recalled half a dozen times and was presented with two magnificent bouquets of chrysanthemums.At last the demand became so undeniable that the people\u2019s favorite gave way and sang an Ave Maria as encore with violin accompaniment by Miss Beatrice Langley.The rich dress which she wore was ornamented with diamonds on the corsage, the shoulders and the cuffs, and i diamond necklace was also worn.It was however in the character of Mar guerite, in the selections from Faust, that Madame Albani achieved her greatest success.Her costuming was rich, yet simple and effective, and apart from the charms of her voice she acted her psrt to perfection.The gsrden and prison scenes were the two chosen for the occasion.The famous jewel song in the former scene was beautifully anng and called out great enthusiasm, but beyond a doubt the hit of the evening was Marguerite\u2019s final song, just before her death in the prison.It was supremely grand, and the audience seemed to be literally transported with enthusiasm.Madame Albani was well gotten an and made a very becoming Marguerite.The prison scene of Faust was to have been the final item on the programme, bnt the applanse was so deafening and the people seemed so loathe to go, that the Canadian Queen of Song rendered in acknowledgment \u201cO souvenirs du ieune age.\u201d The strikiog of the fini lines of it on the piano was the signal for renewed cheering from all overt he house As far as the rest of the Company is concerned they one and all furnished good sup tort to the particular star of the evening lisa Beverley Robinson made a very accept ableMartha,while Mr.Lempriere Pringle acted well and showed his fine basso voice to good advantage, as Mephistopheles.Mr.Braxtcn Smith did excellent work in the character of Fanst, both his singiog and his acting being of a high order.The quartettes of Marguerite, Faust, Mephistopheles and Martha were given in splendid harmony and with much sweetness.Signor Neppilli, who was the conductor and accompmyLt, is to be congratulated upon the success due to his effortf.The different artists already mentioned gave solos apart from participating in Faust, and were all very favorably received.Mr.Smith possesses very sweet and rich tenor voice, which is highly trained and is of great compass.His high notes especially were gretily admired The bass, Mr.Lempriere Pringle, was perhaps received with more favor in hit solo than sither the tenor or the contralto, and gave a drinking song as an encore to his Toreador song from \u201cCarmen.\u201d Miss Beverley Robinson, the contralto, has a very fine voice and was several times recall ad after singing the Ave Maria from Mascagni\u2019s \"('avalleria Rusticana.\u201d She, however, did nst give an encore.Miss Beatrice Langley, the solo violinist, deserves more than a passing mention.She with Signor Seppilli played a duo from Greig\u2019s sonata, op.8, the opening item of the progr&mm?, and was well rrcrived.In her solo \u201cAll Unghereae,\u201d by Wilhelmj, ¦he scored a very much greater success and was loudly encored.Miss Langley bows with elegante and ease and has a splendid touch.The audience besides being large waa a very fashionable one, full evening dress pro vailing Many very elegant costumes were worn, but ladies generally had to keep on their wkaps on account of the very draughty oonditien of the hall, which was abominably heated]or rather not heated at all.The pride of a woman\u2019s heart ia her cookery and more women have been worried into illness by unsatisfactory ovens than most people imagine.So much of a woman\u2019s happiness depends on this, that when at the last Fall Fair in Toronto the Moffatt Company\u2019s display in their great silver steel line of Pearl stoves and ranges an oven that was new and novel it was the centre of attraction.H.& J.Young are the Quebec agents for these ranges, of which they are displaying a full line.THE \u201cCHRONICLE* FOR THE SESSION.We would a grain place our

Cub'nst order of the German Government has been made public in this country, which is to the effect that Emperor William from this time forward etrictly prohibits commieeiooed officer! 94 the active or reserve force from making use of the advertising columns of any newspaper, German or foreign, for thu purpose of securing a wife.His Royal Highness has been brought to this step by the number of German nobles, mostly officers in the army, who have been seeking heiresses in marriage by means of the news papers.It is said the advertisements of these fortuns-hunting aristocrats are greatly on tbe increisn, especially in the American and English newspapers, and many of them have been reproduced as news items in the journals of Berlin, which are not particularly favorable to the military regulations of the present Government or to the Emperor.In future any German officer who permits himself to be advertised with a view to matrimony, or even responds to an advertismeut of that character, incurs the risk of dismissal from the army.It is well known that Emperor Wilium is strongly opposed to any of his official family either at home or abroad marrying Americana.The especial reason that the German diplomats in this country find it difficult to marry here is owing to the great social upheaval caused some years ago in Mexico by the ungracious conduct of the Baroness Zcdwitz, whose husband was then Minister from Germany.The Baroness, who as Miss Lina Caldwell, one of the great eat heiresses of the United States, had been accustomed to consult her convenience and pleasure rather than any well-established rule of etiquette, refused to comply with the customs and usages 'of the diplomatic circle of which she found herself an important member.The great unpopularity of his American wife necessitated the rcci\u2019I of Baron Zedwitz and has made the German Emperor very reluctant to coosmt to the marriage of any of his representatives to ao American.It is further said that the Emperors consent to the mirriaue of Banm Ketteler and a well know» A-oerican heiress was withheld last summer, and as a consequence the marriage is not likely tu tuUe

misfortunes produced by the precediog Administration.The hun.gentlemen opposite might rest easy.The present Government would not imitate their fiuancial faults aud extravagances.He referred, too, to the expenditure of $20,000 upon various foUies during the Paris trip to negotiate a loan.The present Treasurer was not a pretentious man and did not make promises like Mr.Shehyn, but he acted, and his acts deserved the confidence of the House and of the country.The hon.gentleman resumed his seat amid loud applause.Mr.Dechenes argued that there was nothing to gain by the conversion.The Government coaid not expect to find any profit in converting loans which expired during the next twelve yearj and it would not pay to convert the others.Hon.L.P.Pelletier showed in a very forcible and clever speech that it was only reasonable and right that the Government should strive to nut the credit of the Province on a par with that of the leading nations of the world.Why should such a scheme be op posed ?It was simply because the Opposition knew that it was a good scheme aud that the country would be grateful to the Goveroment fôr it, and for this reason they desired to prevent it being realized But they did not dare to speak .squarely against the conversion.The amendment before the House declared that without opposing the conversion the House desired to have more details.Then the question resolved itself into one of details.The hon.gentleman pointed out that Mayor Parent had not made public all the detaila of the city of Quebec's conversion scheme until its success was assured.And in doing so he had acted like a busineia man.The Opposition wished the failure of the whole scheme, but would not succeed in their plana.They complain that our resolutions are too vague, but they are much less so than those of Mr.were in 1888, and yet all those who are com batting the Government resolutions approved Mr.Shehyn\u2019*; What stand did Mr.Mercier lake?He asked for tho union of the House on present former leader?because he had not succeeded in 1888, no body could succeed now.But if he had not succeeded it was because he did not take tho necessary means, and that the conditions of the market were not favorable.The present.Government have negotiations pending and believes it can bring them to a successful irsuo and one extremely advantageous for the Province.We simply ask now for power to act but will return soon to ask the approval of the House for an accomplished fact.(Loud applausu.) Mr.Gladu spoke at considerable length, after which the vote was taken, the amendment being defeated by a party vote of 37 to 20.Mr.Ste.Marie voting with the Government.\t.\t.Mr.Stephens moved the adjournment of tie debue and the House adjourned about midnight.PROFESSIONAL CARDS The above Vignette shows the Very Latest Parisian Style of Ladies\u2019 Winter Jacket, and is particularly suited to our Canadian Winter, being made of a heavy material and Trimmed with Fur.We carry a complete assortment of all r ash-ionable Cloths for Ladies\u2019 Winter Jackets and Costumes.SAT All orders executed by London Tailors.A Lady attendant in charge of fitting room.W.VINCENT, H, A.DUES\u2019 T-A.I3LOE4, 38 FABRIQUE STREET, 2nd & 3rd floors.November 28, 1896.The Latest Fad in GMstmas Cards I ARCUS WARD & C S.GREETING CARDS SPECIAL PRINTING FOR EACH PURCHASER- Orest if Desired.pr Leave your orders EARLY.Octloxxdeax\u2019»* -lx eal».G-lYt Ola.z\u2019lflttxxxi MOORE\u2019S, (Eito Stores,) November 27,1896.MINING STOCKS.4.V.McLaughlin, Ko*»land We would recommend tbe following Mining Stocks to investors : Josie.63c.; May rioter, 16a; Iron Colt, 17$c.jKootonay London 12$c.; Lily May, 2-c ; St.Elmo.5a ( St Paul a Gilt Edge Property, 10a ; Silver Bell, 9c.A small block Northern Belle.P\"0® application.Maps.Prospectus and full particulars on appl cation.^Tklki\u2019HONK 780.November 25, 1896.R.C.MUIR, Easton.Manager, 118 St.Peter Street.Am Mining Stocks.ADVOCATE** BTC.I Advocates and Parliamentary Agents Banque Nationale Building, QUEBEC.T.Chask Casgbain, Q.C., M.P., late Attorney General for Quebec.J.I.Lavkbt, LL.B.A.Rivabd, A.B., LL.B November 24,1896.\tLm Immense Redactions .AT.BEHAN BROTHERS.RETIRING FfiOM BUSINESS!
