fact that, having sold timber berths, the Government or their employees are permitting people to go in for mere stumpage and cut timber when the Department have already charged a large sum to others ?Is it true that parties are being permitting to cut timber off the limits sold at the foot of Laberge, and has the Government given instructions to the Mounted Police to protect the timber limits from being plundered ?Hon.Mr.Sifton said that no special instructions had been given Major Walsh regarding steps to be taken to protect the timber resources of the Yukon, but word had been received from him since his arrival in that country that he was taking all necessary steps to protect the timber there.Hon.Mr.Sifton told Mr.Bergeron that the Goyerment di-1 not intend to extend homestead privileges to the Yukon territory.Hon.Mr.Blair told Mr.McMillan that the Government was considering the question of appointing a Railway Commission.The subject, however, was one which required careful consideration and it was scarcely likely any legislation on the subject would be introduced during the present session.After a number of motions for returns had been disposed of, Mr.Jamieson, ot Winnipeg, proposed a motion \u201cThat the public interest demands that the Railway Companies of Canada should, at the earliest possible moment, be brought under the control of a Board of Railway Commissionere, with full powers to enforce the provisions of the Rrilway Act and to prescribe and enforce the observance of such regulations as may be necessary in the public interest.\u201d Speaking to his motion, Mr.Jamieson complained of the high freight .\t.\t.I rates charged by the Canadian Pacific Railway Madrid, March 14-A great sensation has | from ManiBtobaan(i theNorth-WestTerritories been caused here by an official dispatch from Havana, saying that the insurgent leaders, Cayito, Alvarez and Nuntz, have been killed by other insurgents while the former were on their way to tender their submission to the Spaniards.Official circles here claim that the action of Cayito and his companions is proof that an important section of the in surgents is anxious to accept \u201ctho legal regime.\u201d TRAGICAL AFFAIR IN JOHANNESBURG.to the E»et.If the Government, by the ap' pointment « f a Board of Railway Comniis-sionets, could control the rates of this Com pauy on Western freights, it would do more to bring to Canada a tide of immigration than all the literature ever issued by the Government.Messrs.Richardson, Davis, Davin and Sproule spoke in the same strain.Mr.Maclean favored the nationalization of all railway lines by the Government as a remedy for the transportation grievances, A Murderer Attempts to Commit Suicide.JOHANNESBURG, March 14\u2014 A man named Ftldtheiu entered Mr.Joel\u2019s t ffice and de-tnarded $2,.r>U).Being ri fused lie snatched a revolver from a desk and tired, the bullet entered Mr.Joel\u2019s forehead and he fell to the ground and expired.His murderer attempted to commit suicide, but failed.STRIKING OPERATIVE^ SUME WORK RB At the Whlttenden Cotton Mills, Taunton, Mass., March 14\u2014The eleven hundred tperatives of the Whlttenden cotton mills relumed to work to-day.They seemed glad of the rpportuniiy to retume.The monetary less to them during the strike has ameunud to about $40,000.The Minister of Railways, in asking for the adjournment of the debate, urged the immense importance of this transportation question.If it was possible to regulate the grievances complained of by legislation, he would be glad to support any measure that would accomplish that end.He had grave doubts that the appointment of » Railway Commission, such as that suggested in the motion, would accomplish what was desired.He instanced the failure of the English Board of Railway Commissioners appointed in 1873 to give relief from the grievances complained of in the Mother Country.Tne Railway Committee of the 1\u2019rivy Council, he admitted, was quite unable .to c< pe with the question, and he promised \u2022 that at au early U«*te, after the whole matter had been carefully considered, Parliament j would have submitted to it a legislation | designed to meet iheriquiremenls ot the case.Personally be was in favor of the nationaliza-j lien of all railways.Under Government control there would be little difficulty in arranging and providing for all such grievances as those now complained of.It was, SENATE.Ottawa, March 14\u2014In the Senate thla afternoon,Senator Kir* hhoffeijcalled attention to a newspaper paragraph published in the Toronto World and sent by its Montreal correspondent, to the effect that a fond of $300,-000 had been raised to bribe the Senate into passing the Yukon Railway Bill.After quoting the article in qaestion, Senator Kifchhoffer, in a jocular mood, remarked that he had always heard that there was money to be made odt of politics, but as he was not a railway contractor or publisher he had nn-fortunately never been able to come aoroas any opportunities in his experience.Now here was à glorious opportunity.Counting oat the twenty Liberal Senators, who would have to vote for ths bill in any event, the remnant of 64 Senators would be abl* to divide this little nest egg to the tune of $4,700 each.Speaking seriously, he said it was simply scandalous (hat eueh a report should be pnblished in any Canadian newspaper 'and probably be copied into the newspapers of the United States and Great Britain.It was quite possible that the contingency might arise, for the Senate was not pledged against tile bill, that the Upper House would be able to *ee its way to pass the Yukon Railway Bill, if it was amended, for instance.In that case the Senate would be open to the imputation that it had been bought.Some means, he thought, should be devised of punishing any newspaper which would publish such a grass and libellous scandal on any body of men.Senator David Mills thought it was a mistake for Senator Kirchhoffer to have called attention to the matter in the manner in which he had.The story was so palpably untrue, that there were few newspapers in Canada which could be found to publish it.In referring to the matter, Senator Kircb-hoffer had only given the story further publicity.The Senate was above such a contemptible suspicion in the public mind.The Toronto World was a sensational journal and anything which was calculated to attract public attention to it would find publication in its columns.The public would never believe the Senate could be influenced by considérations of that kind.No one would believe that any contractor or book publisher would dare to approach members of theSenate with any dishonest or dishonorable proposals.Sir Mackenzie Bowell, in moving for a return of all correspondence and information in the possession of the Government with regard to the reduction of the Post Office io the city of Belleville from a city to a town office by the Post Office Department, made a lengthy speech in reference to the matter.He had no objection to urge against the plea pot forward by the Postmaster Genera! that the change was made in the interest of economy, what he did object to was that the Conser vati ve city of Belleville should be singled out from half a dozen cities h> the Dominion which werein exactly the same position.Windsor, Kingston,St.John, Qnebe: and Charlottetown all had a larger percenuge of expenditure in comparison with their revenue than had Belleville.But then these cities were all represented by Liberal members in the Federal House.After going at length into the de tails of the changes made in the staff of the Post Office at Belleville to show the hardship and unfairness of the action of the Government, he quoted figures to show that the sw perannuation of the officials of the office represented a capitalizition of $40,000 which the Government would have to payas long as the officials lived.The most of them were young men and women under the age at which public servants were illegible to superannuation, and in addition to that many of them would draw their superannuation al lowance and receive the smaller salary at which they had been re-employed in the Post Office.The Postmaster had been dis missed, though there was no proven charge against him, without superannuation allowance of any kind.Two other officials jjad also been disposed of in a similar manner, for no other cause than that they were Conservatives.Sir Mackenzie also complained that the Postmaster-General had, while em powering the acting Postmaster to reappoint a staff of clerks, instructed him to act only on the recommendation of the Reform Association of Belleville.The people of Belleville, he said, regarded the action of the Government in this matter as a flagrant injustice to the Liberals and Conservatives alike.Hon.David Mills said that there was no objection to bringing down the return asked for.The Government had reduced the Post Office at Belleville from a city to a town office because, under the regulations framed by the Conservative Government, the city was not entitled to be in the list of city or staff offices.If there was any fault to be found it must be with the late Government, which framed the regulations which the pre sent Government only carried out.He in stanced a number of cities in Canada which had never been admitted into the grade of staff offices, which had a larger population and a larger revenue than Belleville.Many of these cities were represented by Liberal members in the House of Commons and yet they were only town offices yet.If, as Sir Mackenzie had said, there were other cities in the country which were in the same posi tion as Belleville, he had no doubt that their case would receive the careful consideration of the Government.He quoted the Superannuation Act to show that in cases where Government officials were dismissed through the abolition of the positions they occupied in the interests of economy in the public service, it was compulsory on the Government to grant them a tuperannualion allowance, if they had been in the service ten years, and if not.a gratuity.Senator David Mills informed Senator Macdonald that the attention of the Government had been called to a memorial of the Board of Trade of Vancouver, B.C., with reference to the importation of sawn timber and shingles free ot duty.Sir Mackenzie Bowell was informed by the Minister of Justice that no other written instructions had been given Major Walsh regarding his duties in the Yukon country, other than those contained in the Order-in-Council appointing him.After the adjournment of the Honse had been moved by Senator David Mills, Senator Longhead pointed out that the orders of the day had not been called.Senator Loughead then discovered that a bill in his name on the order paper to incorporate Mr.Hamilton Smith and his London associates as Çower to yramid Y ukou district has been set down for a second reading on Monday next, instead of today.He atked that the bill should be given its second reading, as there had evidently been a mistake in setting down the bill on the order paper.Senator David MilU-Is the bill printed in French ?Senator Loughead -Carnot the leader cf the House read his English copy ?Senator David Mills said he would have to ask that the second reading of the bill be left over until the Government had an opportunity of considering it.Senator Loughead saw no reason why the House should not read the biff a second time now, andj if the Government disapproved of the measure they could arrange to kill it in Committee.Senator David Mills said that Senator Longhead\u2019s motion was unprecedented.As leader of the Government in the Senate he had asked that the second reading should ( Continued on Fourth Page.)

approach of St.Patrick\u2019s Day, the recent introduction of the new Local Government Bill for Ireland in the Imperial Parliament,\u2014by long odds the most acceptable yet framed by British statesmen,\u2014and the interesting reminisr cences of the St.Patrick Society of Quebec in the good old days of its early his tory, which were printed in yesterday morning\u2019s Chronicle, are all calculated to direct the attention of thoughtful men amongst us to the interesting and inviting subject of Irish t/nion.It is somewhat of a coincidence that just at this time, the English mail should have brought us the newspapers containing reports of an interesting speech on the subject, made about ten days ago, by our former Governor-General,\u2014that great and gifted Irishman,\u2014the Marquis op Dofferin and Ava.The occasion was the second annual banquet of tt)e Ulster Association, which consists of Ulster men resident in London, and we can well understand that, as the nows papeys express it, Mthey made a brave aho^r.\u201d Tfoe dinqer toojc place at the Holburn Restaurant.The Marquis of Dufferin and Ava presided ; and other well-known sons and daughters of the Emerald Isle, who supported the Chairman, were the Marchioness of Dufferin, the Lord Chief Justice of England and Lady Russell of Killow'bn, Lord Mac-naohten, one of the Law Lords, and Lady Macnaohten, Sir William MacCormac, the distinguished surgeon, General Sir Andrew Clark, Sir David Barbour, Sir William Charley, and Mr.McConnell, Q.C.Letters of apology were received from other Irishmen, including the Duke of Abercokn, the Marquis of Londonderry, Lord Wolseley, Lord Roberts, and Lord CharlesBeresford.After the loyal toasts, and the \u201cNavy, Army, and Reserve Forces, and Civil Service\u201d of the Empire had been honoured, Lord Dufferin made the prin cipal speech, proposing \u201cProsperity to Ireland, and Success to the Ulster Association,\u201d and our readers who are so familiar with tho sparkling oratory of the most noble Marquis will not be surprised at the eloquence of his remarks and the tactful handling of his delicate subject.The love of country, His Lordship said, was a passion ineradicably planted in tho heart of every Irishman\u2014(cheers)\u2014and however deep and profound might be the affection which they entertained for tho rude features of their own black north, he was sure there was not one Ulstennan present who did not heartily acknowledge that he was an Irishman first and an Ulsterman afterwards.Nor were any present who did not take an equal pride with the rest of his countrymen in the heroic careers and in the achievemants of those Irishmen who in past ages risked or lost their lives in defence of what they believed to be a sacred cause, no matter under which King they fought, or to which political cause they adhergd.As for himself, he confessed he was as proud of being able to claim kinship with the noblo Karl of Luoan, thff gallant General Sarsfield, and his associates who confronted Kino William at the Boyne and so gallantly defended Limerick, and of hia Celtic ancestry, aa he was of his Scotch forefathers, who in conjunction with their Protestant friends and coreligionists, came over and endowed the woods and wastes of Down with their present prosperous and smiling aspect.(Cheers.) Nay, more, as the husband of Hamilton Rowan\u2019s great-grand-daughter, as a kinsman of Grattan, as a relation of Emmet\u2014(hear, hear)\u2014 and as tho great-grandson of an honest Whig country gentleman, who died at eighty while pulling on his boots tq vote against the Union, hè was able^howeyer firm his convictions in regard to the desirability of maintaining the existing ties between England and Ireland\u2014to understand the motives and feelings which then drove honourable and conscientious men into opposition to the projects of the Government, and sometimes, alas ! into desperate courses in those troubled and disastrous times.Ho was happy to think that England, whatever might have been her shortcomings in former days, had long since learned to welcome with enthusiasm Irish talent, Irish bravery, Irish capacity, wherever it appeared.Evepy Irishman now had within his grasp not only the batpn qf a field marshal, but the commission of a commander-in-chief, the warrant of a Color niai Governor ; nay, the sceptre of a Vi?er roy\u2014(cheers)\u2014as witness tho careers of Lord Wolhelkt, Lord Moira, L«»rd Canning, Lord Mayo, Lord Lawrence, and Lord Lansdowne.(Loud cheers,and cries of \u201cLord Dufferin.\u201d) The noble Marquis went on to speak of the signs now visible of a desire on the part of all Irishmen to bridge over and obliterate the breaches and fissures surviving from past convulsions and unite their efforts for some patriotic object, and wo regrot the impossibility of ipprinting his admirable speech iu full.The Lord Chief Justice, responding t>> the toast of his heal\u2019h, iaid that while it was n*»t given to many to play great, heroic parts in these days, nr to make great sacrificesforcuuntry oriorcause, yet it was given to every Irishman, according to his position and opportunities, to do much in his own person, by a career EDITORIAL NOTES.Tho withdrawal of some of the Australian colonies from the wretchedly managed Imperial Institute in London, is regarded in that city as presaging its early closing.The London Crific says of it :\u2014\u201cThe concern has gone on the wrung lines from the beginning.It has been the Mecca of tho pleasure-seeker, innocent or tho reverse, and not of the trader, for whom primarily it was intended ; and unless some unfore-improvement in its administration should give it a speedy lift, the rise and fall of tho Institute will be part of the history of nineteenth century failures.\u201d The English newspapers arc very sceptical as to the probability of war between the United States and Spain.The London Daily Mail says :\u2014\u201cAs we anticipated, the war scare over the loss of the \u2018Maine\u2019 has died a natural death.The fact is that our cousins, so many sea miles removed, are a mercurial lot, and delight in talk of WRr\u2014like the aborigines who held America before them.But they are also business men, and very level headed, and so they know that war with Spain would mean an enormous loss of trade, and under no circumstances any gain whatever.War between the United States and Spain is, of course, not impossible\u2014buc it is exceedingly unlikely.\u201d Notwithstanding the very natural enquiry why any respectable person should desire to visit the gaming rooms of Monte Carlo, the following complaint is made by a writer in the Critic \u201cA correspondent writes to me, anent tho rooms at Monte Carlo, of the curious fact that while admission is accorded without difficulty to every kind of sharper, blackleg, and dis reputable person, male and female, especially tho latter, any respectable person is subjected to the most rigorous cross-examination as to his birth, marriage, the name of his wife\u2019s great-grandmother, etc.,\u2019 before being accorded permission in the shape of a ticket to enable them to enter the rooms, and contribute towards the dividends of \u2018the company, which runs the most notorious \u201chell\u201d and worst plague spot in Europe.\u2019 Why these distinctions 1 \u2019 -OF- PARIS AND LYONS SILKS In Exclusive Designs and Colorings.LACE EFFECTS ON TAFFETA GROUNDS, BARRE SATIN STRIPED TAFFETAS, BASKET TWILL BROCADE, NEW EFFECTS IN NOVELTY PLAIDS, AND GRADUATE ROMAN TAFFETA SILKS.In addition we will show 1800 yards, of Colored Striped Silks, regular value 75c.for 48c.1200 yards of Black Surah Silk, 21 Inches wide, worth EOc.for 30c.ONE PRICE ONLY.\tTELEPHONE 2157.F.Simard & Cie., 1S7 St.Joseph St., SL Roeh\u2019s, Quebec, March 16.1898.THECHINIC Hardware Co.IMPORTEES AND DEALERS IN.General Hardware, Bar Iron, Metals, Paints, Oils, Glass, etc , etc.Notes and News.Caught ffliort of Alligators.Fiorida seems to have been awakened to the knowledge that she has lost her chief attraction to the tourists in losing both her oranges and her alligators.She is making a loud demand upon the United Slates Fish Commissioners \u201cto restock her rivers with alligators.\u2019\u2019 One enterprising Floridian has established an alligator hatchery on the Culoosahatchce River.\u2014Chicago Inter Ocean.DIVISION OF ESTATE SALE Dissolution of Partoersliip, To enable the affairs of the Partnership to be settled as early as poasible all the Goods are iEŒHDTTOIEID.Handles Twenty Millions Yearly- Some of the curiosities of the Bank of England are well worth describing.\u2018In the printing room a man sits at a little table, and every three seconds a machine hands him two complete five-pound notes.If he sits there six hours he receives over seventy thousand pounds, and in three hundred days over twenty millions in paper money !

West Australia by the s.s.\u201cBarcoo,\u201d reverted the usual tactics of their class.Instead of spending a week squatting in several inches of bilge water and subsisting on tinned meats broached from a convenient case, they strolled into the saloon, took possession of an nnoccupied cabin, and lived on the fat of the land\u2014or, rather, the sea -until the fatal hoar when tickets were collected.At the moment the officer demaoded the ticket one of the youngsters was in the act of ordering a steward to bring him an extra allowance of beef tea, while the other was borrowing a cigar

way improve it.Who docs not know the ragged ue\u2019er-do-weel and the other tweeded, spatted species !\u2014the well-dressed bad player, who plays because, forsooth, it is the \u201cthing,\u201d and the true sporting golfer, whose one anxiety on the score of dress is that it shall in no way hamper freedom of action ! These types are both familiar on our links, and the latter is delightful, equally ready to play at sunrise or by moonlight while uo weather is bad enough to put the true enthusiast off an afternoon with a good cleek.DEATH OF A CJOLF CHAMPION.Gloom has fallen upon the golfing world, especially upon the Scottish section, in consequence of the death cf Dr.A.J.T.Allan, the amateur golf champion, which occurred at the residence of his mother in Edinburgh recently.Dr.Allan, who was a son of the late Surgeon-Colonel Allan, was but tweuty-two years old.but had for sotno time been prominent in local golf circles ; it was not, however, until he won the championship last year that he became widely known as a golfer of the highest amateur class.The cause of death was consumption.BICYCLISTS ON THE HUNTING FIELD.An English paper says;\u2014\u201cA most unpleasant feature of this year\u2019s hunting has been the number of people, of both sexts, who attend the meets ou cycles.To these there could be no reasonable demur if they would but keep their proper places, but they have a most reprehensible knack of rushing round coverts, heading the fox each lime he tries to break, and blocking alike roads and gateways.The ladiee, more particularly, scorch immodestly in front of any one galloping down a lane ; then, when the horse is close upon them, they lose nerve, and, without warning, trundle their machine right across the horse, till it is matter for surprise that there has not up to the present been any fatality from this cause.Pedestrians used, goodness knows, to be trouble enough to hunting folk, but, by trotting round several miles to a distant covert, it was generally possible to \u2018choke them off.\u2019 No such precaution answers with the cyclists, and they are consequently in the way the whole day.\u201d This week, introduction of the strictly one price system, and general jobs in all departments, at Z.Paquet\u2019s, St.Joseph street, tf For Sale or to Let,

influence to day being Paris, where theBourau was demoralized by the fall in Spanish securities and the coulisse agitation.The severe slump in Americans in New York on Saturday attracted the attention of buyers here and prices opened at 81 50 above New York parity.New York responding to this later.A further improvement took place with considerable influential buying for Germany, but the close was dull in the street, indications of a continuance of dear money still exist.A large amount of gold was bought for New York The question of a rise in tho Bank of England rate on Thursday is much discussed.The open market rate i* 3 3 16.The Paris Bourse was a trifle better after a period of dullness.Spanish securities which had been 52^ closed at 52|.The Berlin market was steady.French Exchange is rising again.The renewed buying of remittance on London is gold fr m here to New York.\u201d The stock and rond markets were strong throughout to-day.Different opinions were offered as to the cause of this and proba biy all had some truth in them.That the excess of buoyancy was a sut prise to many pro fessional traders, even to those who expected some natural rebound from Saturday\u2019s exces siv \u2022 depression was evident.There was nothing in the news of the day to change materially the political outlook, and that there were many holders of securities who continued ner vous from fear of war was evident from the large offerings to realize which metthesha rises at the opening.But the reaction whic: resulted from these offerings was more than overcome, even those stock-i which showed the largest gains at the opening rising again to the highest, and those which had been less affected an the opening rising in some cases over a point above the early high prie s.Prices of Americans were advanced in London before the opening here.This was the more notable on accmntof the acute depression of the Spanish Government fours which fell 2J in London cn Paris selling and showed an extreme d cline of 13 in Paris.The course of the bonds has been looked to as a true index of the diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain.It is not to be lose sight of that United states bonds in the local market declined a half per cent in the bid prie» in the face of the strength of all other securities.It is possible, however, that the stiffening of the money rate may have accounted for this movement.Certain it ia that there was a large covering of short con tracts which bad been ^Mt open over Sunday on the belief that some new and dangerous development was imminent in our relations with Spain, traders were indisposed to put out fresh short lines, and there was evidenca of various familiar devices for bulling prices to show that some of this element was in the market for at least a short upward turn in prices.The firm ness of prices was sustained to the close.Gold continues to be engaged for import, to-day\u2019s announcen ent aggregating considerably over 84,000,' 00.The fa'l in the rate of Exchange on Paris and Berlin, and the relative steadiness of the rate on London indicates where the pressure for gold is being applied, and there was a 1 espouse in the stiffening of the money rate in Paris and Berlin.Nearly all actiye stock* are from 2 to over 3 pier cent higher as a result of the day\u2019s

override the rules of the Senate and have the hill passed any way.The bill had in it a principle which was in direct viola tion of the teims of a Government bill which had been read a second time in the Lower House and was now being coc aidered in Committee there.If the bill was passed by the Senate it would be tanta mount to a declaration that the Senate would throw out the Government measure.It was unprecedented that the Senate would be ask ed to commit itself beforehand agaiust a Gov ernmeot measure.Senator Kirchhoffer thought the misplacing of this bill on the order paper had been a mi* take.It now appeared that the Government had intended it all along.Senator David Mills\u2014Order.The Hou Senator must withdraw that remark.Senator Kirchhoffer\u2014I only intended to say that the Government was evidently tak'rg advantage of a mistake of an officer of the House, to insist that this bill should not be advanced until the Government bill now under consideration in the other Chamber comes up for consideration and is disposed of here.Senator Loughead said the Government had no right to lake advantage of a mistake to strangle his bill.If the Government bill received the s^nctioo ot the Senate this* bill would never pass.He could tell th j Minister of Justice that the Senate would certainly be called upon to express an opinion ou this bill before the Government bill came to the Senate.If through the mistake made the Government had not ex tmiued the bill, he had no objection to its standing until to morrow.A number of Senators pointed out that if Senator Loughead persDted in proceeding with the bill, the Government would strangle it in the Commons.After some further discussion, Senator Loughead consented to allow the motion for a second reading to stand over until Weduee day next and the matter dropped.The Senate adjourned at six o\u2019clock.HAMILTON CITY HAPPENINGS Claims Her Portion of the Estate\u2014The La wry PaoklnK Company\u2014Hamilton Street
