and which threatens, and is apparently even now upon the point of accomplishing, a disastrous disturbance of values, with all the evils and demoralization of inflation in its train.Refined petroleum very dull, certificates a little higher ;

HERALD, AND DAILY COMMERCIAL GAZETTE MONDAY, MARCH 3 MR.N.RyUAx TALKS.Interviewed by a St.Paul Reporter.Manitoba's Contributions to the Federal Treasury.What Mr, Norquay Intends in the Future.From the St.Paul Pioneer Press.Hon.John Norquay, premier and provincial treasurer of Manitoba, who has been for over a month past at the Dominion capital,urging the claims of Manitoba upon the Dominion Government for what its people consider justice, pessed through St, Paul yesterday on his way to Winnipeg.He was waited upon at the Merchants by a Pioneer Press reporter, and after some hesitation consented to talk about his mission to Ottawa and its results.After an introduction of the business the conversation was as follows :\u2014 ¢ I understand you have been at Ottawa on important matters concerning the relations betweeu your province and the Doin- inion Government 7\u201d .\u201cYes, on very important business for oar province.went to urge upon the Dominion Government the extension of provincial boundaries, the rearrangement of our financial relations, and to secure control of the provincial Crown lands, I left Winnipeg on the, 12th of January.reaching the capital ou the 21st.[I immediately vlaced wyself in communication with Sir Juhu Macdonald, the Canadian Premier, asking an interview with him to discuss matters affecting Manitoba.Not receiving any Bimmediate: resly, I wrote again in a day or two, ur, ing an official interview.In reply to my second pote Sir John referred me to Hon.D.L.McPherson, Minister of the Interior, stating that he was 80 very,busy that he could not then spare the time to discuss Manitoba matters.I replied that I preferred waiting until he had leisure to personally discuss these matters, as they were more concerned with the general public policy than of à departmental character.AN INTERVIEW OBTAINED.< Did you succeed in obtaining an inter view with Sir John ?\u201d \u201c Yes, on the morning of the 7th of February at bis private residence, being ac- compauled by Senator Sutherland, Messrs.Scott and Watson, Manitoba members of Parliament, sud Messrs, Leacock, Wood- worth, Crawford and Martin, of the local legislature.\u2019 : \u201cI made a full explanation of the views of the peuple of Manitoba regarding the extension of the boundaries northward to Hudson\u2019s Bay and west to the 102nd mieri- dan, and gave the reasons why it was urged in the interests of the province, the principal of which was that the province éhould have jurisdiction where it was proposed to construet the Hudson\u2019s Bay railway.I urged on the attention of Sir John the anomalous pusition occupied by Manitoba, as compared with the other provinces, in having no contro! over the crown lands of the province, and poiuted out how necessary It was to the development of the province, aud also to the satisfaction of the prople, that these lands, should be administered by the Provincial Legislature, and that Manitoba intended to hold the Dominion accountable for all lands hitherto disposed of by it in that province.I also touk occasion to refute the oft-repeated aspersion that Ma:itoba waë a financial burden to the Dominion Government, plainly showing by figures quoted from the blue-books of his own Guvernment that while Manitoba was the- most profitable Province of thé Cunfederation in the ,returns of customs and excise duties, per capita, she had cost the Government of Canada less in the way of subsidies, a - ministrations of justice, and cust of collection of revenue-\u2014the principal annual expenditures on behalf of provinces \u2014than any of the other provinces of the union.CONTRIBUTING TO THE GENERAL FUND, \u201c For stance, I proved from the Dominion public accounts that Manitoba had contributed during the last ten years to the Dominion $l,l03,350.92 more than British Columbia, While receiving from the Dominion exchequer $1.252 095.20 less than that ptoviace, making Manitoba worth just $2,355,446.12 more to Canada than British Columbia during that period.By similar comparison with Prince Edward\u2019s Island, the balauce in favor of Manitoba was, in the same period, $5,031, 855.78.I made this comparison particularly with these two provinces, as they are the only two of the ceven which, like Manitoba, have entered the coufederation since the union.F- also impressed upon the Premier that this statement did not take iuto account at all the enormous income the Dominion had received from the administration of Manitoba crown lauds, whereas she bad no income whatever from any other provinces from that source.I also puinted out that in the last ten years the average contribution per capita to the federal treasury of Manitoba was $10,762, as against British Columbia\u2019s $10,276,Que- becs $5,165, New Brunswick\u2019s $4.21, Nova Scotia\u2019s $3.49, Outario\u2019s $3,146, and Prince Edwards Islaud's $2414\u2014-each Manitobau contributing twice as much as a Quebecer, two aud a half times as much as a Nova Scotian, three and a fourth times as much as an Ontarian and four and a fourth times 48 much as a Prince Kdward\u2019s Islander.\u201d « What auswer did Sir John Macdonald make to these representations 77 \u201cHe said the Privy Council would appoint a committee to discuss these matters with myself and any Mauitoba representative 1 might select.Accordingly, on the 12th of February, in company with Senator Sutherland, 1 had au interview with a committee of the Privy Council, consisting of Sir Leonard Tilley, Sir Hector Langevin and Hon.D.L.McPherson, when I suggested the following propositions as an arrhngement that would be just and acceptable to Manitoba : \u2014 WHAT MANITOBA WANTS, \u201cThat the boundaries of the Province of Manitoba be extended northward so as to include Port Caurchill, on Hudson\u2019s Buy, and westward to the one hundred and second meridian.The Province of Manitoba will agree to refund all expenses incurred by Canada in surveys of 'ands within the Province that remain vested in the Crown, in consideration of said surveyed lands, and other lands yet unsur- veyed, being handed over to the Province, and the revenues arising from the sale or lease thereof accruing to the Province for rovincial purposes; aud, further, the Province will agree to refund to the Government of Canada its proportion of three hundred thousand pounds sterling T£300,000] paid by Canada to the Hudson Bay Company for the territory.The appointment of a commission of three for the settlement of all titles to laud, arising under the Manitoba Act, or any other of the acts of the Parliament of Canada, withiu the Province, two to be appointed by the Goverument of Canada and one by the Government of Manitoba.Tue Province will al+o bind itself to carry out any agreewsent entered into bet veen Canada and any colonization, railway con-pauy, Or other assuciation for the settiement of the lands of the Province, a cotnmencement of which has been n ale by such company or association.That the Province shall receive credit at the same rate at which the other provinces were relieved of debt on entering the union, and that the same shall be allowed on the present population of Manitoba, and be ad- Justed decimally, according to_:ts popula- Lion.THE PRIVY COUNCIL'S ACTION.\u201c There was some discussion as to the financial question, and note was taken by them of the other matters referred to, and the committee promised to submit the same to their colleagues and communicate to me their decision.\u201d \u201cDid you arrive at any definite uunder- standing in these matters before leaving Ottawa?\u201d \u201c No, I did not, although I asked the chairman, Mr.McPherson, both by official communication and personally, to furnish me with an answer, that 1 might report it to the Leglislature ot Manitoba soon after my return.\u201d .\u201c Had you any intimation before leaving Ottawa as to the probability of a favorable consideration of those suggestions, or otherwise 2\u201d \u201cI had no intimation, although I received a message when in Toronto, on my way home, asking me to return to Ottawa.Before consenting to do so I requested an assurance that Manitoba matters should be taken up immediately ; and, not receiving u reply to assure me that such would be the case, and having already.spent over a month in Ottawa as a representative and leader of the Manitoba Government, ready and anxious at any time to discuss these matters, I did not feel that either the interests of the province or the dignity of its government would be served by my re turning to renew negotiations without the shghtest assurance of any early solution.\u201d \u201c\u201c This, then, is all the report you will have to make to the legislature on your return ?\u201d .\u201c\u2018 That is all.unless a reply is received from the Dominion Government before the meeting of the local house.\u201d *\u201c About what time will the local legislature be convened ?\u201d \u201c* About the middle of March.\u201d \u201cIn case no conclusion 1s arrived at before your legislature meets, what course will your government pursue in order to press these claims of the province upon the Dominion?\u201d THE PREMIER'S INTENTIONS.\u2018\u2018 Of course I am speaking without consultation with my colleagues, but the probability is that the government will not withdraw its demand for what it believes to be justice to the people of Manitoba, and should no satisfactory arrangement be arrived at, the legislature will probably be asked to support the government by reso lu:ions appealing to the Imperial Parliament for aid in securing the rights of Manitoba at the hands of the Dom inion Government \u201d \\ \u2018* What are the prospects of the Hudson Bay railway scheme?\u201d \u2018\u201c There is a Parliamentary Committee taking evidence now at Ottawa, and the evidence so far elicited goes far to justify the belief which the people of Winnipeg hold as to the practicability of Hudson\u2019s Bay navigation for commercial pur- oser\u201d?\u201c Will the proposed railway receive any aid from the Dominion Government?\u201c No; if we get a satisfactory settlement with the Dominion Government, as the basis I have stated to you, we will aid the railway by a grant of land and by a guarantee for construction.\u201d \u201c What is the state of feeling in Manitoba upon the subject of the claims you have been pressing upon the Dominion Government ?\u201cThe people are a unit in support of the representations made to the Dominion by my government, and are very determined upon having them carried out.While there is no danger of this very strong feeling making a violent outbreak, the people are prepared and determined to use every constitutional means to secure justice to the Province.\u201d \u201c What about the reported Fenian invasion across the borders of Manitoba ?\u201d \u201c1 know nothing about it.The first I heard of such à thing was in the columns of the Pioneer Press in Chicago.It is a wildeat business if there is anything in it, and I fancy the border township constables will be able to take all necessary care of any Fenian vagrants wandering that wav, without any necessity for interferenc: by either Provincial or Dominion authorities,\u201d COLLECTIN.+ A BILL, From the D:t:0.1 Free Press, À citizen who has an cffice on Monrce avenue has for the last three years ben owing a grocery bill.The grocer\u2019s collector called on him over one hundred times to secure payment of the debt, but was always put off with some excuse or other.At one time it was death\u2014another sickness \u2014another time hard luck, and so it went on until it really) seemed impossible for the debtor to invent any new pleas.The other day the grocer himself took the bill in his fist and cornered the debtor in his office, \u201cYes.I now\u2014very sorry\u2014hand you the money a week from to-day,\u201d was the railing excuse.\u201c See here \"said thie grocer, as he locked the door and pulled off his coat ; « I\u2019ve been figuring on this matter.This bill is for $15.I can give you the v orst licking a man ever received and get off with a fine of $10.Dll then give you a receipt tor the other five and the account will be closed.Prepare to be pulverized 1\u201d ¢ But suppose I lick you\u2014then what 2\u201d quered the other.Then there won\u2019 t be any resort to the law, and you shall have a receipt in full !\u201d \u201cThat seems to be, fair, and Ill do my best,\u201d said the debtor, and at it they went.The grocer expected to get away with him in about a minute, but he was a deceived man.It wasn\u2019t over three minutes before he was knocked over a chair end rendered hors de combat.4 Is it a\u2019receipt in full ?\u201d asked the debtor as he eat axtride of the other and kept both hands fastened in his hair.\u201c She is I\u201d \u201c And you\u2019! pay me $2 in cash for the broken furniture.\u2019 \u201c Yes.\u201d Then you may get up, and I'll recommend you to a doctor who\u2019il fix your broken collar\u2014hone as good as new inside of a week.\u201d The grocer gave him a receipt for the account, and handed over $2 in cash, and later in the day, when telling the story in his store, he explained : _ \u201c Gentlemen, I\u2019ve sassed scores of citizens, abused dozens of hackmen, and beeu aching for three years past for a ohiance to pulverize some one.It\u2019s worth $17 to me to know that iny grit gives out with the first round !\u201d \u2014_\u2014 EPPS\u2019S
