Complain of Harsh Treatment.Winnipeg, April 20\u2014W.Richards and J.Conn, both of Halifax, who have been working on the Crow\u2019s Nest Pass Railway, have returned to Winnipeg from the scene of construction.They walked the whole way.Among other things Richards says :\u2014\u201cWe were told that we had to pay one cent per mile for railway fare from Halifax, which left us largely in debt after working some time, having to purchase blankets, bedding and other things we did not expect.Six weeks later the sub-contractor skipped ont and left ns without a cent, but it did not matter much as it would, under favorable circumstances, have taken six months to have got clear of debt.We all left in debt aud had to keep clear of the line for fear of being arrested.All were afraid of contractor Haney and dare not give proper evidence before the Commissioners.The Commis sior.ers were not in a position to report as to the true state of affairs,\u201d THE SPANISH-AMERIOAN WAR A Spanish Youth Stabbed by an Ame-rican-In the Montreal College.Montreal, April 20\u2014A serious quarrel took place last night at the Montreal College between a United States youth named Brower, hailing from Boston, and a young Spanish gentleman named Dumeae.They started an argument as to the relative merits of the issue between Spain and the United States.Warm words led to blows and finally both soughtlheir pocket-knives.The United States youth was the quicker aod in less time than it takes to tell it the Spaniard was disabled with a knife wound in the left arm.It is said the wound is not a serious one, but the affair caused immense excitement throughout the College.SEE OUR Carpet and Upholstery Show Window.And say whether or not wo can supply any of your wants before your

Civil Bill, appropriating and making immediately available $473,151 with which to pay to .\tL u u i Great Britain the^ward for Behring Sea il Servants.The position taken by the ciajmi niade by the joint convention of Feb-nment it that under the Civil Service | ruary ^ j896 He ho eai(1> urRe(j to place the amendment on this bill by the Foreign Relations Committee, instead of waiting for the General Deficiency Bill.The amendment was.agreed to.through this session In reply, Sir Riohard Cartwright reminded the House that the bill was not a Government measure, being in the charge of a private member.The House then- went into Committee of Supply for the first time this session.O.i the item for the cost of management of J the Post Office Savings Btnka, it came out that two clerks in the Post Office Savings' Bank at New Glasgow, N.S., had been dis-j missed.la answer to questions put by members of the Upposition, the Postmaster-General said thecleikshad been dismissed for offensive and active partisanship at the recent elections.One had been Chairman of the Conservative Committee and the other had gone on the public platform and spoken for a Conservative candidate.The first item discussed in Committee was an item to provide salaries for clerks in the office of the Secretary of the Government.It transpired in debate that one second class clerk in the office had been given a statutory increase, while another had received no increase.This brought on a general discussion on the question of statutory increases to Civil Government Act annual increases cannot be demanded as a matter of right and that the law is not manilatory but simply permissive.The Government took the position that increases should only be given in cases of merit.Hon.Mr.Foster, while admitting that increases should not be granted as a matter of course, maintained that the Government was not following a fair and equitable course in making the increases.No sjstem seemed to exist and it was most unfair to allow Ministers and their Deputies to grant increases only to those clerks who happened to be in their good graces, irrespective in many cases of merit.The discussion was still in progress when the House rose at six o\u2019clock.After recers the following bills were read a third time and passed : \u2014 An Act to incorporate the Lake Bennet and Klondyke Railway and Tramway Company.An Act respecting the Brandon and South Western Railway Company.An Act respecting the Nakuah and Slocan Railway Company.The House resumed in Committee of Sop ply and continued the discussion on the question of statutory increases.There was a lengthy discussion on an item of $2,400 in tho estimates of the Militia Department to provide for the salary of the accountant.It appears that the former accountant, Mr.C.H.O\u2019Meara, was dismissed by the Minister aud his cousin ap pointed to the position at the same salary as the former occupant of the position.The Minister was severely called to account for superannuating Mr.O'Meara on a rctir ing allowance of $1,600 a year and appointing his relative at the same salary as Mr.O'Meara formerly received.The discussion lasted until midnight when the House adjourned.THE BEHRING SEA CLAIMS.The United States Will at Ones Qpeat Britain the Award.Gents\u2019 Clothing Our New Show Tables carry the Finest Display which has ever been made in our
