CHILDREN'S CORNER.\u2018I THINK I HAD BETTER MIND FATHER\u2019 Scattered all over the coal regions are great holes, made by the s.nking of the earth after the coal has been taken from the mines.The miners know when there is danger of a cave- in, and if along the public road, some signal is given to travellers.These cave-ins generally happen at night, when few persons are passing, but there have been cases in which herses and waggons, and even houses and people, have been buried by the sudden sinking down of the road when it was thought safe to travel over.Let me tell the little folks a true incident of how a boy, not very long ago, escaped going down with one of thcee cave-ins.A part of the road between what is called the Logan Colliery, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, and a town two miles distant, had been condemned, and a fence was put up to separate it from a new rcad Wihich had to be made.for some distance closs by the old one, and then branched off, making the distance much longer from the tcwn to the colliery.But, as the corCemned road was nearest, the miners for some months continued to go over it, to and from their work.One evening a miner living at Logan's Colliery sent his son Willie to the town on an errand.\u2018It will be after nightfall, son,\u2019 said his father, \u2018before you get home ; on no condition, then, return on the condemned road\u2019 On his way to the town, it being yet light, Willie ran quickly over the dar gerous pathway ; and having done his errand he started for home.-He was tired, for he had been working all day, and when he reached the fer ce that separated the safe from the unsafe road he stopped and, as he afterward told it, thus reasoned with himself : \u2018I am tired, and if I take this short cut I will soon be home.1 believe I will risk it.But father said, \u201cDo not on any consideration return over it.\u201d I can\u2019t see any danger ; the men Ed over it every day, and It was safe not to returu over it\u2014and\u2014J think I had better mind father.\u2019 So he jogged along on the side of the fence where the earth was firm.The stars shone brightly, and he could plainly see his way.When he got to the middle of the fence he felt the ground shake, and to his hor- > ADVERTISEMENTS.\"WORTH A GUINEA A BOX\u201d § 4 \u20ac 4 4 X Sleepy.>» Ifa man is drowsy in the day time § after a goo al night's sloop, there's - indigestion and stomach disorder.® | 4 | [ P L by removing the waste ) ] matter which i8 clog- ing the system, will cure all Bilious and Nervous Disorders, and will | quickly relieve Sick Headache, \u2018 Coverad with a Tasteless and Soluble Coating, | Wholesale Agts.Evans & Sons, Ld.Montreal, For sale by all druggists.4 - BAL DI A a a a ve vvwvvvvvwveyw Yow OSS [YP PV YY VV VT Yo Financifl.R.WILSON SMITH, Investment Broker, Government, Municipal and Railway Becurilies Bought and Bol First-class Securities Suitable for Trust Funds always on hand.This new road ran two \u2018hours ago\u2014but father told me | ror saw the condemned road disappearing from his sight.He stood still for a moment, awestricken at the escape he had made ;

The maple lot, or sugar orchard, at Lily Pond Hill, about fifty miles from Monadnock, New Hampshire, is situated on a very rooky side-hill in a pasture of the old farm\u2014the place where my mother used to live when a girl.After her parents died the old farin was de- gerted, and the house and barn went to ruin with everything about the place except the magnificent sugar place, on which are many maple-trees with trunks three or four feet in diameter and tops of vast spread.My father, who is a leather merchant, redesmed the old mortgage on the property.When 1 was planning for my spring vacation a year ago, he suggested that I might take two or three of the boys and make sugar at Lily Pond Hill.I fancy he and mother thought they would like to make a flying visit there, just to see whether the maple 8ap and molasses taste now as when they were young.for he offered to buy two hundred sap-buckets and a new evaporator for us.1 talked the project over with my chums, Tracer Stearns and Whittier Mc- Knight, who were delighted with the suggestion, which promised novelty for then as well as for me, although of course we had read a great deal about maple syrup-making.We planned to camp out in the lst and tap the \u2018trees ourselves; in short, to do all the work, cutting the firewood, boiling \u2018the sap and cooking our own food there.We agreed to invite our whole class, young ladies and all, to visit us, and have all the syrup and sugar they wanted to eat, after everything in camp should be running smoothly.The day after the close of the term we set off for Lily Pond Hiil with our out- fit\u2014all that three teams could haul from the railway station, beside two loads of lumber.There was a dingy cld sap- house in the lot, half-full of musty sedar buckets and sap-troüghs; but we preferred a new, clean camp to sleep in, and we intended to build another before our visiiors came, to accommodate the girls.The first night, the ninth of March.we concluded to lodge in the old farmhouse, about fcur hundred yards from the maple woods; but next day we hired two rar- renters from Lily Pond Corners, and were able to get into our new camp on the following night.During the day we tapped ninety-six maples, though a cold wind blew and the gap ran but a few drops.The snow-crusi was so hard that we couldi run about on it all day.That day, also, we cleared up the rid sap-house and fixed up our sap- holders and the evaporator.It was an evaporator of a new pattern, having a long, wide pan over the fire-box, and also a narrow vat on each side of it, so that the sap as it boiled was exposed to the heat not only on top of the firebox, but also on both sides of it.It was Dearly thirteen fee: long and was supposed to have a capacity of thirty gallorts of syrup per dav.As we Knew nothing practically of sap- boiling, we engaged the services of a young farmer named Cartwright who lived near.for two or three days to coach us in the details.The cloudy, and as it was Sunday we did no work, but walked about on the snow- crust, watching the bluejays and squirrels, and the robins, three or four of which had already returned north.Monday proved a \u2018sap day,\u201d and for a weck we were kept busy.There was firewcod to cut, sap to gather, and the \u2018pan,\u2019 as the evaporaicr is called, to be kept boiling.No litlle car: was necessary to tend it properly and see that it did not boll dry and byrn the syrup.Indeed, we found sugar-making hard work.All three oft us became almost as brown as Malays from being cut all day in the sun, wind, steam and smoke.Still there Was a rude pleasure in the workx, and my two companions voted it \u2018fun,\u2019 although some nights found us dreadfully tired.We had ordered a sufficient number of cars, and after the first three days we began to ship syrup\u2014the clear, smooth, delicious article\u2014to our friends at home.A can was sent to each one of our classmates by way of whetting their appetites for the visit they were to pay us; we began \u2018hedging\u2019 for the next year with our teachers in the high school by sending a can to each of them ! As the days went on we increased our \u2018sweet lst,\u201d as we called it, and Included the upper class in the school, together with the clergymen of our town, the school bard, the three captains of police and two municipal judges.Tracy said, \u2018We will have them all \u201csweet\u2019\u201d on us, All the town will smack its lips and call us little dears!\u2019 Each can bore a label with our com- piments written on it, and a request that the can should be sent back to us xt day, because we wanted to send it next day was and iE Am 224 0 ie again.They did not come back fast enough, however, and we were obliged to buy more.The replies we received were delightful.Some of them were very funny.Some were in rhyme, some in Latin, some in French, and there were several \u2018poems\u2019 droll enough to print.The queerest one of the lot was from one of the ministers.I wish I dared to give it here! We concluded to send him am- cther can for the pleasure he had given us.It soon became noised abroad that thre: city boys were making syrup for fun at the old Blake farm, and numbers of the people in the vicinity called to see us, among others four fellows from Lily Pond Corners.They were most of them well-meaning, honest folk, but we made up our minds from the first that these four youths would bear watching.One mame is as good as another, so I will call them Tom, Dick, Harry and \u2018The Snapper.\u2019 In most country towns there are a few fellows of the baser sort who \u2018drink\u2019 a little, loaf a great deal, and try to live by their wits.Everybody knows their character.There is little variety in that type, and the whole genus is worse than useless.Usually they frequent the saloons, where there are any, but these four concluded to lcaf at our syrup camp.We let them have what syrup they wanted to eat, and we endeavored to treat them well, though it was irritating to have them lounging about the camp all day, dabbling in the syrup, meddling in the work, but never really doing anything, either by helping to gather sap or by cutting wood.Saturday night of that wesk found us very tired.We had about a hundred bucketfuls of sap to boil away that afternoon, for ths weather was warm, and the sap, if left over until Monday, would probably have fermented.We had therefore rushed our fire, and by ten o'alock in the evening had the sap all in the pan, boiled down to about thirty gallons.We estimated that, when down to syrup, there would be fifteen or sixteen gallons of it.Tom, Dick, Harry and \u2018The Snapper\u2019 had been with us since nine o\u2019clock in the forenoon.They had taken lunch with us, aired-all their cheap talk, lain on our bunks in their wet boots, and dropped syrup over the floor of our new camp.\u2018The Snapper,\u201d too, had chewed tcbacco steadily, and rendered the place exceedingly untidy, though we wished *o keep the camp clean till our girl-class- mates came.Thus far we had not uttered a word that could be deemed discourieous to our disagreeable guesis.By \u201cen o'clock we had grown tired with our hard day's work, and Tracy at last sa\u2019d in a general way to Whittior and me, but so that our visitors might take the hint: \u2018Sey, boys, I'm tired.Let's leave a little fire under our pan, «> that it will simmer down slowly, and turn in.\u2019 \u2018Aw, don't go to bed yit '\u2019 cried The Smaprer.\u2018Lel\u2019s make a night of it\u201d \u2018Some other night,' renlied Tracy, good- humoredly.\u2018I must have some sleep, and am going to turn \u2018n for the night.Sorry not to oblige you.Take all the syrup you want.There's a gallon can on that shelf.Fill it and take it away with you.You may want some to-mor- row.\u2019 \u2018Oh, we will be up to-morrow,\u2019 said Dick.\u2018But to-morrow will be Sunday,\u2019 sald Whittier.\u2018Suppose you give us a rest.We are going to take it easy to-morrow and do nothing.\u2019 They chaffed us, but seeing that we meant to go to \u2018bed, they finaily took thomselves off, a little sulkily.Tracy raked out the greater part of our fire and ve went to bed, fell asleep immediately and scarcely stirred till past sunrise next morning.When at last we waked, I smelled a queer odor, as of something burning.Tracy turmed out, slipped on his shoes, went to the sap-house, and came back in haate.\u2018Our syrup hss .11 burned up !\u2019 said he.Whittier and I followed him to the sap- house.\u2018Whew ! And the pan is burned, too!\u2019 exclaimed Whitbwr., \u2018See, it is warped | out of shape, and the seams are started.Look how the tin and solder have heated! I's spofled !\u2019 \u2018That's so.The pan is wrecked, oer- tainly,\u201d said Tracy.\u2018I don\u2019t understand it.We left scarcely any fire under it.\u2019 \u2018But I suppose the whole apparatus was very hot.\u2019 said I.\u2018Mayba it was more nearly boiled down to sugar than we thought, too.\u2019 \u2018But look here - \u2019 cried Tracy, suddenly, \u2018Did either of you put in more wood after I raked the brands out ?\u201d \u2018No,\u2019 said Whittier.\u2018No,\u2019 said I.\u2018Then how do these ends of brands come to be at the door of the fire-box ?I didn't leave wood enough to make these.Manifestly some one had replenished the fire after we had fallen asleep; judging by the number of brand-ends, the = 4 THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS.fire-box had been filled with wood.For a time the whole affair was a mystery to us.Tracy wondered whether any one of us had replenished the fire in our sleep.(To be continued.) A Life in the London Zoo.\u2014 Sutton, the head keeper of the lion- house at the Zoclogicai Gardens, and a very old servant of the society, hias this week retired with a pension.He had been employed fcr more than forty years, mainly in the care of the great carnivora, first as keeper of the bears, but for the greater part of his life im the daily management of the large felidae.Like many of the Zoo keepers, he was an East An- gHan, accustomed when a boy to the care of domestic animals; but he had acquired unconsciously a \u2018manner\u2019 which was specially acceptable to the huge cats among which he moved.He was quiet, deliberate, and almost slow, never making a sudden mcvement oT a loud poise.The animals were never hurried or forced to move if not inclined to do so, which no cat, even If it ba a tigar, ever forgives, and they were left to grow tame at their cwn good pleasure.In the passage behind the_dens he received new arrivals, nursed the sick, prepared the food, and controiled the transfer of rome thirty Hons, leopards, tigers, and jaguars from cay to night cages, and from both to the outdoor runs in summer.New animals were always a source of trouble and anxiety Everyone who keeps, or has once kept tame animals knows the uncertainty and frequent disappeint- ment which attends the firet arrival and imispeation of those which have come from a distance.Shaken, frightened, suffering from want of water, with broken feathers or sofled fur, they show the ill effects of travelling, even for twenty-four hours, by rall or water.But in the case of the smaller animals, kept as pets, it may safely be assumed that they were at least despatched on their journey in good condition.When an animal is one of the large carnivora\u2014perhaps a tiger from some Malayan rajah or a half-grown lion from Scmaliland-\u2014there is no means of knowing whether, previous to its being shipped, it had been half-starved or overfed.Possibly it has undergone both forms of treatment.The sea voyage usually improves their condition, the sailors being always kind to animals, and ih a measure assisting to tame them before their appearance at the Zoo.But in most cases, the temper, condition and size of the creature are matters of speculation until the van drives up and deposits the big box in which the creature has been brought from the docks.Very few are ready to appear in public at once; those which are obviously ill and exhausted sometimes undergo treatment for several months before being exhibited in the front cages.Sutton was an untiring and successful nurse and doctor cf such gick and \u2018travel-wiorn beasts.Scme years ago & young tiger arrived from the beck regions of China.This animal thould have shown the fine proportions and long, furry coat for which the northern tiger is famous.Instead it was a mere caricature of a tiger.It had been half-starved for months before its delivery at the coast.Having been captured just at the ttme when a tiger- cub begins to grow, the result of this ili- treatment was that while its head had increased to the normal size of a haif- grown tiger's, its body was no larger than that of a small retriever.Its limbs were bent, and its whole frame stunted and undeveloped.Its whole appearance suggested the necessity for am \u2018act for the prevention of cruelty to tigers\u2019 in the northern provinces of China.To rear the creature and develop it into an animal fit for public exhibition appeared impossible.One point only was in the keeper's favor.In spite of ill-treatment, the u- ger's temper and dispcsition were amiable.It was almost, if not quite, the tamest of its species ever kept at the Zoo.It could be handled like a big deg, and showed its affection for the keepers by purring loudly as scon as it saw or even heard them.The first business of the keepers was to feed it wisely but not too well.Its digestion was poor and its jaws too weak to crack large bones.It was therefcre put on a diet cf ¢f boiled mutton and bone-dust, the latter being added es material for building up Its frame.The tiger scon began to grow, and was making good progress when the secondary effects of early neglect appeared.This codim:niy takes the form of loss of fur.In the present instance the unfortunaie tiger lost all its hair except that on its head and face.During this time it was kept in \u2018retreat,\u2019 but by careful diet and the use of sulphur as a \u2018cosmetic\u2019 its coat was restored, and it was an last exhibited, fairly grown, with a good coat, and as tame as a dog In the front cages.Thon afier some months it fell ill, this time of an incurable disease, and died, much to Sutton\u2019s regret, who always declared that it \u2018would have made a nica tiger.It always appeared to the writer that he treated iftons, and some male tigers, as if they were dogs; while all the.lionesses, the leopards, pumas, and most &gers were treated as cats, L'onesses he never touched with the hand, and leopards, except the snow-leopards, very seldom; but some of the tigers and the male ltons behaved in their dealings with him exactly as if they were domesticated animals.Bears, he maintained, always became unsafe after they were full grown, though often tame and friendly when cubs.Polar bears, on the other hand, he looked upon as always dangerous, and quite un- tamable, having a kind of incurable levity which makes them absolutely without respect or fear for man, even when they are kept in captivity.In the case of the larger cats, necessarily increase together.In all the years spent In the care of the large car- nivera, he never received an injury.Yet, through nevef hurt by the bears or llons, he was nearly killed by a zebra.The correct facts of this curious accident wera follows: The zebra, which was known to be very savage, was turned out Into a yard, the siding door between the yard and its stall being pushed to, but not fastened by the man whose duty it was to do so.Sutton was in the inner stall, putting in fresh hay, when the zebra heard him.He also heard it trot up to the door, and the next moment saw iis muzzle pushed against the crack which had been left between the edge of the door and the post.It slid the dcor back in a moment, ran in, and stooping 19s head, seized him below the knee and threw him violently on his back.It held on to bis Peg, biting so severely that it cracked the shin bone.though Sutton, who was ving on his back, kicked it hard with the other foct.The other men drove it off with stable forks, but the keeper was laid up for thirteen weelis from the ed- fects of the bite \u2014London \u2018Spectator.\u2019 Black Pigmies.+ THAT INHABIT THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.A TINY RACE, BUT VERY STRONG AND MUSCULAR\u2014THEY FORBID INTRUSION WITHIN THEIR BORDERS.The interior of the island of F¥For- meea is inhabited by a race of savage dwarfs.They dwell in the fastnesses of the mountains, and some of them are head hunters.Bags of a peculiar network are manufactured by them expressly for the purpose of carrying heads secured in their warlike forays.One of their chiefs when about to be executed by the Chinese sald : \u2018I have no fear of death; 1) have taken 94 heads and only wanted six more to make the hundred.\u2019 They call themselves Aetas ; they are active, very dark, woolly, small- headed, and average only four feet and seven inches in height.They are distinct from any other krown people.Though so tiny, they are very muscular, using with ease bews which the strongest white man cannot string.They are wonderful runpers, and their senses are astonishingly acute.They distinguish by their odor fruits hidden in the thick foliage of the jungle, and recognize by smell only from what flowers the bees have gathered honey.These dwarfs are supposed to have been the earliest inhabitants of the Malay Archipelago.They invented conoes the nautical qualities of which have astonished Engiish sailors.Eventually they became widely scattered over the seas of that part of the world and on the mainland as well.Bigger and stronger people gradually drove out and killed off these p:g- mies, who now are found occupying the interior of some of the largest islands, finding a refuge among the mountains, while the plains and coastal regions are Inhabited by intruding races.This is true of Lau- zon, the largest member of the group of Philippines.The dwarfs were found there by the first Spanish settlers as well as in the interior of the four other principal islands.They will have nothing to do with the Spanish, Malay or Chinese inhabitants, and intrusion upon their territory is vigorously resented.Armed as they are with poisoned arrows, the slightest scratch from which means death, they are well able to defend themselves.There are parts of Luzon in which no white man dares to set foot, and some of the smaller isles of the group remain te this day unexplored for the same reason.The dwarfs trade to some extent with Chinese peddlers, but in a very peculiar fashion.The peripatetic merchant deposits money in a designated spot and goes away to a distance.In return for it the savages leave in the same place such merchandise as rare gums, fine woods and the leaves and roots of valuable plants, which the peddler is able to dispose of in the cities at a great profit.They are scrupulously honest and even liberal in their deal'ngs.The chains of hills or belts of jungles must not be crossed without formal invitation or special permission.Occasionally violations of this law cause bloody fights.The Little Negroes are the smalfbst people in the world, with the exception, perhaps, of the Congo, who are said to average only 4 feet 215 inches in height.Owing to the extreme wildness of age and dli-temper do not | lf Hr) C8 i the HRLANEEE EEE EEE EE cou lid high grade.à stands.ADVERTISEMENTS.WEDNESDAY, Marcu 18, RR TNC lle le It Makes a Good Breakfast = Above all drinks for the morning = LE q mea Coffee stands supreme.@ of it, rich and pungent, pervades 11.;

Mr.McCarthy\u2014The hon.gentleman admits that legally there was no compact.He does not appear to know that the British North America act of 1867 was held by the Judicial Committee not to apply at all to the Manitoba schools question.Then why all this tissue of misrepresentations, either designed or uttered in ignorance ?Mr.Foster rose and standing with finger pointed at Mr.McCarthy sald something that was drowned in a roar of cries of \u2018order\u2019 directed by the Opposition towards Mr.Foster, who was finally heard to say that it was Dot misrepresentation.Mr.MoCarthy\u2014Yes it was, either designed or in ignorance.Mr.Fester\u2014] don\u2019t mind the order but I do the misrepresentation.Mr.MoCarthy\u2014Waell, take your choice.If it was ignorance we are asked to vote for a bill on statements founded on ignorance which is really misrepresepia- tion.Mr.McCarthy went on to refer to Sir Hibbert Tupper\u2019s contention that the judgment of the Privy Council compelled tham to pass this law.\u2018Why,\u2019 said Mr.MoCarthy, \u2018even the Minister of Finance, who can tackle nearly anything, shrank from that argument\u201d (Loud laugh- A DISORDERLY SCENE.After dwelling on the unfriendly course of the Federal Government, Mr.McCarthy added: \u2018And this ie the government which is vo force their followers to eat dirt and vote against their convictions and,\u2019 he added, \u2018many of them will for a consideration.\u2019 The loud cries of \u2018Order\u2019 from the Ministerial benches introduced a scene the most disorderly ever witnessed in the House of Commons during the last twenty years.Mr.Speaker ruled that Mr.McCarthy was out of order and he at once withdrew the expression \u2018for a consideration.\u2019 He then proceeded as follows: \u2018Then, sir, it is not trwe that there are a great many members hanging on to the skirts: of the government.T couid name them, but it is not true.Loud cries of \u2018Order\u2019 went up from the Ministerial members and Mr.McCarthy, turning round on them, said, with a smile:\u2014 \u2018I am saying It is not true\u2019 The Onpo- sition cheered and laughed and chagrin sat on the countenances of many of the Ministerialists.Sir Charles Tupper rose in a towering passion and sald: \u2018Mr.McCarthy had uttered a gross libel on members cf the House and then by subterfuge had ré&- peated It after the Speaker had ruled.\u2019 SIR CHARLES TUPPER CALLED TO ORDER.There were shouts of order and Mr, Speaker rose and sald he did not under- stend Mr.McCarthy to repeat the asseï- tion he had been asked to wilhdraw.The Opposition cheered at the discomfiture of Sir Charles and Mr.Edgar took the point of order that the leader of the House was himself out of order.Mr.Speaker ruled that he was and ordered him to withdraw the word subterfuge.Then the Oppositiqn simply yelled with delight and banged their desks and cheered loudly, calling \u2018take it back.\u201d Bir Charles was white with rage and seat obstinate.Mr.Foster came to his aid but he could not go on for the uproar and cries of \u2018Order, order,\u201d \u2018Chair, chair.\u2019 Finally, Mr.Speaker got up and said his ruling would have to be obeyed or an appeal taken to the House.Stil that the spirit | «cy \u2018He's, \u2018Findly\u2019 8ir Charles Tupper rose and said, sir Charles Tupper kept his seat and Mr.Foster finally got a hearing.He repeated Mr.McCarthys words and held they were an evasion./ Sir Charles Tupper rose and repeated his contention and stuck to it, that he was quite in order.The Ministerialists cheered this deflance of the chair and Mr.Laurier said it was something new for the leader of the House to set an example of disobedlenge to the chair.Mr.Speaker regretted the incident and appéttled to Sir Charles Tupper to respect: his ruling.Then there were further : ories of \u201cTake #t back,\u201d \u2018Order, \u2018Chajr,\u2019.and Dr.Landerkin called out.the High Commissioner now.\u2019 \u2018I will substitute \u2018device\u2019 for \u2018subterfuge.\u2019 The:, Opposition jeered and Mr.Speaker rose and said he had ruled that the word subfférfuge was unparliamentary and he was'sure the leader of the House would withdraw it.Sir Charles Tupper\u2014I have withdrawn t tr Mr.Foster\u2014He has withdrawn it.Mr.McCarthy\u2014It is a new thing, sir, in this House that the leader of the House should regard himself as exempt from the rules of debate, but we must remember that he is a resurrection, and of course not amenable to the rules that govern ordinary \u201cmortals.MR.M'CARTHY CONTINUES.The Opposition cheered this, and Mr.McCarthy resumed - his speech.Lady Aberdeen occupied a seat one the floor of the House and the galleries were by this time crowded to excess.Sir Charles yemained obstinate and angry to the last.Mr.McCarthy asked why, if one- half ¢f the Roman Catholic children in Ontario attended the public schools, they could not in Manitoba attend a like system without violation of eom- science, as alleged in the petitions.He read the evidence that the old separate schools received more than their share of .the public graht.The Protestant schools received $187 and the Roman Ca- tholig.schools $847.Although the latter population constituted only thirteen percent they returned nineteen percemt of gchool attendance.The public money war used in effect to support a church.He dealt with the argument about the minority in Quebec and quoted a petition laid on the table the other day from the Evangelical Alliance of Quebee, praying that the bill should not become law, and quoted Mr.Sellar\u2019's opinion In support of the view that Mr.Ives did not represent the Protestant minority when he spoke as he did.The minority in Quebec had nothing to thank the majority for.Although nine-tenths of the great corporations there were Emglish- epeaking and Protestant, yet their taxes were divided according to population in the allotment for schools.In some places where the now Catholic popula- which they could not send their children.| pledge.school they were taxed for a school to The bill, he pointed out in conclusion, was no good.It was not workable and was a delusion calculated to distort and destroy a system declared by the Privy Council to be constitutionally established.They had no legal power to confor on separate school boards power to levy taxes.The Dominion could not touch the power of taxation delegated to the provinces by the British North America Act.He would vote for the six months\u2019 hoist.Mr.Haggart followed in defence cf the bill, believing that his province of Ontario\u2019 would, when the facts were understood, give a verdict for the government.MR.Mr.M'ISAAC ROASTS THE GOVERNMENT.Mclsaac, Liberal member for An- tigonish, rose to speak at balf-past twelve.After replying to the Minister of Justice with respect to the Antigonish by-election, he said he pledged himself in that campaign to vote for remedial legislation and he intended to keep his He also stated in the campaign that he believed the question was safe in the hands of his leader, Mr.Laurier, and having watched the halting and bolting conduct of the government he he redeemed his pledge to the electors the government had not carried out their pledge made through Sir Hibbert Tup- per to the electors of Amntigonish\u2014that the remedial order would be embodied in a bill.This was not the case and the Finance Minister bad confessed that the bill would require amendment in committee.For his part Mr.Molsaac would lend his aid to improving the bill in commitiee, but he had little hope in this, in view of the speech of Mr.Taylor, the chief government whip, who declared his intention to move in committee that the intention of the judgment of the Privy Council would he sufficiently carried out by the establishment of ome system of national schools.With such men in the ministerial ranks there was little hope for its improvement.Mr.Mclsaac showed that the bill was inadequate and was of Itttle practical value as it stood.The minority in Manitoba were not satisfied unless the legislation was supplemented by further legislation.But the Post- master-General, when challenged by Mr.Langelier the other day to say if funther legislation was intended, remained dumb.The clause in the bill, therefore, taking power for further legislation was a show and intended to deceive the minority.He reminded the House that in Ontario for years the Conservatives had been making a fight against separate was to-night stronger in that conviction | than ever before.(Liberal cheers.)

and there is nothing in the fact that the salary goes into the general fund of the order to make the \u2018teaching sectarian.There was no control over the teachers in their school work, and where the salary goes, the judge concludes, does not concern the enquiry.The judgment concludes that the plaintiffs have not made out their case, and that the schools are not sectarian.If the schools are such that some of the ratepayers cannot send their children, that is their mis- fortuna and not the fault of the law, and they are the judges as to whether or not they will accept a privilege conferred by the legislature.The judgment cites some very important legal decisions and is so exhaustive and learned that no synopsis can do it justice.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 TUPPER-MCCONNELL LIBEL CASE.OONTINUATION OE THE HEARING OF EVIDENCE FOR THE DEFENCE.Halifax, March 17.\u2014The taking of evidence for the defence by Stipendiary Fielding, in the Tupper-McConnell libel case, was continted this afternoon.Mr.A.A.McKay, barrister, who is president of the Halifax Young Men's Liberal Club and partner of Mr.W.B.Whilace, secretary of the Liberal Association, was the principal witness.He said that, before the publication of the M£Connell \u2018open letter\u2019 he had conversations with Mr.Charles H.Cahan, and continued as follows: One conversation was in my office.Mr.Wallace was p t part of the time.I did not know pt the time, that anyone was present in the outer office.The conversation I think occurred on the Saturday before the election in Cape Breton.Mr.Cahan stated in the course oË conversation that Sir Charles Tupper had retained a large sum of money through his connection with a Canadian loan, and this sum was said to be the reason why he had net been entrusted with the negotiation of other loans.If I remember, he referred to an editorial in \u2018the \u2018Chronicle\u2019 of the previous day, which called attention to the fact that Sir Charles had never dis- chafged that part of his duty as High Commissioner.Mr.Wallace was present when the reference to the loan was made.I think I told Mr.Cahan he was speaking too loud, but am not quite sure.He talked in his ordinary tone of voice, but penetrating.Cross-examined by Mr.Borden witness said he was not aware at that time that any person was present in the outer office.Up to the publication of the letter, Mr.McConnell did not make any onquiry of him with regard to this conversation.Mr.Cahan did not state he had eny personal knowledge of these matters.Several witnesses were examined in.the case against John Dunn, but nothing new was elicited.-\u2014 EASTERN ONTARIO ORANGEMEN.Norwood, Ont., March 17.\u2014The Grand Lodge of Orangemen qf Eastern Ontario held its fifst session here to-day when Grand Master Kidd read his annual ad- | dress to a large number of brethren.He spoke chiefly of the progress of the society in the past year, end of remedial legislation, which he \u2018declared would in a manner render nugatory the Educational act of Manitoba, passed in 1890, and which had been declared constitutional by the highest court in the realm.\u201cHe described the attempt of parliament to coerce Manittoba as illiberal, and far removed from the principles of government that secures to the subject the true exercise of religious liberty.At 4.30 the lodge adjourned and headed by the Nor- wood Brass Band proceeded to the station to welcome the Grand Sovereign, the Hon.N.Clarke Wallace, who came up from Ottawa to speak against remedial legislation.He was escorted to the hall, where he gave a speech which called forth loud cheers from his brethren.Tonight the delegates are being entertained by the village council to a skating carnival in the excellent rink here.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 x NEW U.S.BATTLESHIPS.Washington, March 17.\u2014At to-day\u2019s meeting of the House Naval Committee it was decided to recommend the construction cf four battleships, and fifteen torpedo boats.The battleships will have a displacement of about 11,000 tons each, and shall cost.not to exceed $3,750,000 each, exclusive of armament.WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1%, Teng THE MOSQUITO AFFAIRA CONVENTION AGREED UPON FOR EETTLING THE DIFFICULTY.(Correspondence of the United Press.)
