in addition to the ternational forces already available, wil suffice to force on entry into the Chinese capital.- The Emperor William despatched the German warship \u2018Buseard\u2019 from Kiel for China this morning while the German cruisers \u2018Geier\u2019 and \u2018Seeadler\u2019 have been ordored to proceed to China as rapidly a~ possible from their American and Australian stations respectively.THE FOREIGN LEGATIONS.NEWS TO THURSDAY IS OF A SATISFACTORY NATURE.- \u2014 a Washington, July 10.\u2014The Secretary of State has received a despatch from Mr.Goodnow, United States consul- -gen- eral at Shanghai, stating that it is given out by the governor of Shantung that the legations were etanding on July 5, and that the outlaws were \u2018dispersing, 1 ede shat all;

first, in opening up communication with Pekin and rescuing the American officials, missionaries, and other Americans who are in danger ; secondly, in affording all possible protection everywhere in China to American life and property ; thirdly, in gharding and protecting all legitimate American interests and fourthly, in aiding to prevent a spread of the disorders to the other provinces of the empire and à æecurrence of such disasters\u2026.We regard the condition at Pekin as one of virtual _anarchy, where power and responsibility i is practically devolved upon the local provincial authori- So long as they are not in overt collusion with rebellion and use their power to protect foreign life and property we regard them as representing the Chinese people with whom we seek to remain in peace and friendship.tI is, of course, too early to forecast the means of attaining this last result, but the policys of the government of the United States is to seek a solution which may bring about permanent \\ safet sn and peace to China ;

THE EMPRESS DOWAGER'S PRIVATE ADVISER DIES SUD- - sb NK Bro Bak Aabions vant and adviser of the press of China, an account ot which comes by Pacific mail from\u2018 China.Whether the man, Li Lien-Yen, was oisoned by the Empress Dowager, who ad tired of him, or by his enemies, who werc legion, is an open question, but certainly he died with all the evidences of poisoning.The belief that the man was poisoned is strengthened by the fact that his body was buried three days after bis death, while according to the custom of the country at least a hundred.days should elapse, in order to give time for the Buddhist and Taoist prayers, which are a part of the ceremony.Li Lien-Yen, \u2018the man with the false smile,\u2019 left an estate valued at 38,000.- 000 taels, of which two-thirds is in landed estates, shares in various enterprises and industrial projects and about one- third in hard cash.Most of this vast estate was obtained from bribes and \u2018presents,\u2019 from princes of the Imperial house, desirous of place and power, down to officials of the seventh rank, or even district magistrates, who desired their names placed on the roll for ad- vancenfent.He had over 10,000,000 taels deposited.old shops, banks, pawnbroker es-.tabi schmerts, whioldsale houses, and\u2019 various commercial institutions, whence.it could be withdrawn at short \"notice.His landed estates sve said to embrace nearly a million mow nearly all caltivat- ed lands.Of these 500,000 mow are in Shansi, 151,000 mow in Honan, and 200.- 000 mow in Chihli provinces, In Pekin\u2019 he owned whole blocks of Houses, and, in fact, entire streets.The same is.true at Taiyuenfu, the capital city of, Shansi province.He is said to have the largest.and, fins: est collection of \u201cjewels a stones in the world, as well ast bien bronzes and relics \u2018of incalculable: valita.owager ¥rm- | Not only were many of the ancients] \u2014 treasures of the Empire given to him to gecure favors, but he was a liberal buyer of such articles, partisularly those of the Sang and Chou dynasties, (B.C.1788 to B.C.255.).For a beautiful sacrificial vase of the Chou dynasty he is said to have paid 120,000 taels.The vase was owned by a Chekiang family, in whose possession it had been for over seven hundréd years; and-they at first refused to part with it.It was a beautiful urn, five feet high, of rare and elegant pattern and workman: ship.Among his most treasured: curios was\u2019 a vase standing on a tripod, \u2018all nearly seven feet in height, said to have been cast under the personal direction of the t+mperor Yu the Great, (B.C., 2205.) This vase the Empress Dowager is - said to have taken a great fancy to, but he flatly refused to give it to her.The notorious Lin Hsio-Hsun, secret emissary of the Empress Dowager to Japan, gained his political prowess - by paying 400,000 tae wos then under sentence of death for embezzlement in connection with' the managed lottery, but in the fall of 1898 mana to reach Liu, and was made a high\u2019 of | ficial of the empire.Ching R\u2019uan, an-: other fugitive from justite, à friend, of u, also managed to reach mA Lien Ÿ vit a present of 800,000 taels \u2018presents\u2019 were alon 690 tools nay Thete of business of Li Lien-Yen; and were: said to be of nearly: every-day \u2018occur: rence.\u2018 | Yesterday received the following cable mand of Colonel Moale, left .Plattgburg § aigu barracks to-day for Sen Frusciens, Ft To Jute.13 Dr, Warden eve : ge pe my burned, but the missionaries there, and New York, J uly 10- 10.~Tao Yo aad Taë] 7 \u2014 0 5 pv the avait private sér- , Mr.tive), corroborated all that Mr.Casey | '| was most unfortunate that the \u2018Specta- 4 be.how it could.have made such.a à state: prec eclonk: : : { regimental.discipline, & Lwas Gonscientious.scruples.- ,po_repson.for a.refusal to obey.orders, |.~ CANADIANS IN HONAN.\u2014 WORD RECEIVED AT PRESBYTERIAN HEADQUARTERS.\u2014\u2014 The Rev.Dr.Warden, of Toronto, from the ' American consul at Chifu, China : \u201cDr.McOlure cabled thirtieth.Later, Chuwang burned, Honan missionaries \u2018escaping southwards.Not coming to to a des been sé: rhe Dr.\u2018McClure fon the (thirtieth, the date in transmission being thirtieth.After Dr.McClure cabled on June 13 the mission premises at Chuwang were anged from thirteenth to doubtless those also at the two adjoining stations, escaped and made their way : gouthward by Kaifong and Hankow, \u201cI'Wwhence they would take steamer to Shanghai.As they would have nearly 800.miles to travel by cart, they wauld bot probably reach Hankow until about July 20, so that it may be fully a fort- Bight before further intelligence can be received.Dr.McClure is a native of Lachute, and is: well known in Montreal.One of thé other missionaries at Chuwapng \u2018is Dr.Pércy Leslie, from Montreal, whose wife is-a daughter of Mr.James A.Ogilvy, the well-known Montreal meréhant.Miss o| Ogilvy only went out last fall.Still an: gther missionary at Chuwang is Mr.Murdoch McKenzie, a graduate of the Pres- \u201cbyterian College, Montreal, who was home on furlough in 1898, and has many friends here.Many prayers will go up to the throne of grace that they may all be protected | by the Almighty arm and spared for | years.of useful service in the Master's vineyard.e SESSIONAL INDEMNITY.OBJECTION TAKEN TO THE RE- * offers July: 10: \u201cfhe \u2018bessional indemnity \u2018was discussed in the House this fcrenogn.It started by Mr.Casey, M.P., who read an\u2019 article from the Hamilton - \u201cSpectator,\u2019 charging Frenchmen.in parliament with going on \u2018strike because Sir Wilfrid Laurier would not let them loot the public treasury.The \u2018Spectator\u2019 also said that Frenchmen were the only omnes who signed the round robin.Mr.Casey characterized this as a gratuitous insult.(Hear, hear.) There was no truth in it.(Hear, hear.) He for one signed the round robin and was not ashamed to &ay so.He resented in the sirongest way possible the: throwing of inmilts against French-Canadians.(Hear, hear.)

Harbor Commissioners to \u2018make plain, to \u2018the public that whatever .| praise or blame is attachable to the harbor plan which has been adopted belongs \u2018as much to them as to Mr.Tarte, as they are prepared to stand by it as the best that could have been chosen.Howbeit not even\u2019 all the Commissioners who owe\u2019 4 their place on the Board to Mr.Tarte take this view.The Board adopted it only under pressure and under protest and by a very bare majority.Plan No.Six, it will be remembered, was designed by engineers of undoubted ability after long and careful\u2019 study of the conditions here and abroad, and was adopted with unanimity by all the leading commercial and transportation bodies - and\u2019 companies, £0 which it was of the greatest pecuniary moment to adopt the best plan.After the advent of Mr.Tarte, however, as Minister of Public Works, plans of varying degrees of crudity were showered upon the unhappy ing: | heads\u2019 of the - Harbor \u2018Commissioners, un- : A, 1, A despair of\u201d getting the plan they | \u2018| Knew was best, they adopted the plan \u2018now in course of being carried out, but on the distinct understanding that the government would pay for it.This plan, however, known as 12a2, owes anything that may be good in it to our own har- \u2018bor engineer and men like Mr.John Tor- \u2018rance end the late Mr.David G.Thomson.Its worst features are due to Mr.Tarte, whose object was to make the centre of our harbor of as little capacity as possible and force the trade of the port down below St.Mary\u2019s current.He himself has opedly stated that the natural harbor of Montreal is in the cast ern part of the city, and has had planned gigantic wharves and dry docks and what not, there, with.the object of driving the traffic from- its present position.In so doing he naturally has the good wir \u2018of the Canadian Pacific Railway, which has easy and abundant access to \u201cthe river below the city, while the city \u2018harbor: is far more accessible to its rival, the.Grand Trunk.\u2018In the first plans submitted By Tarte \u2018the \u2018basins were as much b.were eT made Turspar, JuLy 10, 1900.as 600 feet wide and the piers ecarce- ly long enough to berth one modern ship.The present plan was only accepted by the Harbor Commissioners after many alterations and improvements, and after an emissary of the government had bees sent here to \u2018persuade\u2019 the government's nominees.In spite of vhis, however, men like Mr.Bickerdike declared they would prefer to have nothing sooner than Mr.Tarte\u2019s crude plans, and even the latest edition of these plans (Plan 12a2) was never accepted by the Board of Trade, Corn Exchange, Underwriters\u2019 Association or shipping interests on its merits.Mr.D.A.Watt, in reference to this matter of Mr.Tarte\u2019s torcing his views upon tuis port, wrote to the \u2018Witness\u2019 on June 1, 1898, as follows: \u2018Ineffable \u2018 disgust expresses the frame of mind \u2018of all the shipping people.The mani- \u201c Pest purpose is to cripple the harbor | proper in \"the.Vain\u2019 expectation that \u2018trade will then he forced towards Point \u2018St.Charles and Hochelaga, but this, \u2018like all foolish conspiracies, will defeat \u2018itself.\u2019 He also declared \u2018his unaltera- \u2018ble preference for the principle of \u2018Plan No.6 and the various modifica- \u2018 tions \u2018made by the harbor engineers.\u2019 Writers who seek to convince the public that Mr.Tarte\u2019s plan is the best one, and to leave the impression that that plan has general approval, may be reminded that before the acceptance of Plan No.12a, 2, Plan No.12a was accepted by the Harbor Commissioners and other bodies, but on \u2018the

cost \u2018will be borne by \u2018the government) and that the plan will \u2018be on the high level.\u201d These were the terms of the miserable.barter of a good plan for a bad one.Plan No.12a, however, was afterwards modified into Tlan No.12a 2, and was finally accepted by the Commissioners and the government in July, 1898.But this latest plan, too, as the former one, was only accepted on the distinct understanding that the \u2018government would pay for it,\u2019 so that it was at last forced upon the port under the most flagrant false pretences.Neither did the Board of Trade ever accept it upon its merits.In reply to a letter from Mr.Tarte tothe Council, Mr.Geo.Hadrill, on June 9, 1898, wrote in part: \u2018 The Council of the Board of Trade hus \u2018 never formally approved of Plan No.12a, \u2018 believing the approved form of Plan \u2018No.C, known as Plan No.19, to be \u2018far better suited to the requirements \u2018 of this port, but that, like the Harbor ¢ Commissioners, it would have been will- \u2018ing for the government to carry out \u2018Plan No.12a at its own cost,\u201d and fur ther that nothing short of the govern- \u2018ment assuming the cost of the works \u2018can, in the Council\u2019s opinion, justify \u2018 dictation as to where and how they \u2018 should be constructed.\u2019 NEWS FROM YUKON.VALUABLE DISCOVERY ON INDIAN RIVER-\u2014THE EXODUS TO NOME.Toronto, July 10.\u2014A \u2018Globe\u2019 snecial from Dawson says:\u2014\u2018The news of an extensive quartz find on Indian river, about fifty miles from Dawson, is confirmed by several men, who have returned with specimens of the mineral.The South African miners here declare the vein to be similar to that of Johannesburg, and the ledge has been truced for over twenty miles, and at no point is it less than 350 feet wide.A number of claims have already been recorded.\u2018The exodus to Nome has come and gone.The total number going to these new American diggings is estimated to be about two thousand people.This a heavy loss in population; but in justice to Yukon territory, it must be said that the majority went with frankly ex- bo ove belief in the

yesterday afternoon, it was decided that the Grand Trunk Railway authori ties must immediately remove the track which has lately been laid across Aqueduct street.Mr.Wainwright, assistant general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway, was - present and -other- persons interest ed in the \u2018matter.Ald.Sadler protested against.the existence of the track until the settlement of the level crossing.Mr.Wainwright on Lis part took up the defence.\u2018I must protest,\u201d said Mr.Wainwright, addressing Ald.Sadler, \u2018against the statement you have made.The fact is, the Grand Trunk has been always ready to meet the \u2018city, end are now.I came here to represent an investment of $250, 000,000 of British capital.We have built the city, and more than that, our line was constructed in that locality long before three-fourths of those streets avere laid out.\u201d We have made an apology for the present work, but desire to proceed by using this temporary \u2018track for trans porting our\u2019 material.\u2019 Ald.Sadler remarkce that if the Grand Trunk Railway was ready to discuss the level crossings, and meanwhile would only \u2018consider tle track a temporary one, he would withdraw his objection.Finally, a resolution was moted by Ald.Wilson, calling upon the company to remove the track, and resolving that no other permission for such work woud be given to them until the level crossing business had been /settled, Was adopted.The vote on this waa a tie, Ald.Tur ner,\u201d Gallery and Ouimet voting in the \u2018negative, and Ald.Wilson, Lesperance end Robillard in the

Question Asked on Fletcher's Field.A DISGRACEFUL EVENING FRACAS IN WHICH A WOMAN FIGURED AND BLOOD WAS SHED.\u2014 There is no abatement of the rowdyism which is allowed to disgrace tbe tower part of the Mount Royal Park, commonly known as Fletcher's Field, and about six o'clock last evening there was a rough and tumble fight on the property, which probably eclipses any of the disgraceful scenes reported to have occurred in the vicinity for a considerable time.Respectable citizens proceeding to their homes in the north end were surprised to see a tall, dark, ruffianly- looking fellow dragging along near Pine avenue a resisting and somewhat drag: DAILY WITNESS | présent proprietor of White\u2019s foundry, said that he felt no antagonism to the men at all, and had reasoned with them this morning, suggesting that their officials and the manufacturers should come.together and discuss the case, while the men continued their work.This they refused to do, and Mr.Vallance expected that they would leave to-night.\u2018Had the men given us notice that by September or October they would expect this ten percent of increase, them we could have figured upon our work with that in view, but to spring this suddenly upon the manufacturers when certain work had been contracted for without considering the question of a rise in pay, \u2018is to put the manufacturers in a difficult position.We are working at present under difficulties.We have heavy general taxes in Montreal.We have the machinery tax, the water tax, and heavy general expenses.= Moreover, we have to compete with western towns, which pay less wages, which make boilers simply to \u2018sell, and which send them down here to undersell us.This is especially notileable in the case of American boil- gled-looking woman.: There were several Lers, which are dumped down \u2018here at.men about the neighborhood, but no official of the park, apparently.The re gistance of the woman led a fair young man, a more reputable citizen than he who was dragging the woman, to inter: fere, and addressing the dark man ordered him to leave the woman alone.Just what followed is hard to describe or to understand by any one not actually participating.The interference led to the striking of blows, several men crowded into the melée, stones were thrown, and at one time four men were busily engaged in pommelling each other, one combatant repeatedly striking his foe with a stone he held in his hand.Some ugly wounds were inflicted, and the face of one of the participants was covered with blood.Just what the cause of the melée was will probably never be known, but it appeared to be merely a spontaneous and unreasonable outbreak of unrestrained ruffianism, and after those in the fight had had enough of the carnage they separated.The only serious participant appeared to be the fair young man who assumed the role of St.George as defender of the oppressed female.Tle appeared really indignant, and as he left, the scene of conflict was hcard to remark :\u2014\u2018 It is a strange thing that this crowd can have everything their cwn way here.bosses the park.\u2019 As to the woman who was the cause \u2018of the fight, she appeared to be a fitting central figure for the scene which tcok place around her.gaily trimmed woman\u2019s hat fell to .the ground from under her clothing, where.{ she\u2019 had probably Had it concealed.\u201d Why | she Should have had such an article in\u2019 concealment was, of course, merely sab-\" ject for conjecture., The fight took place at an hour when there are usually many women and :hil- dren passing the spot on their way home from the mountain, but fortunately owing to the threatering state of the weather there vere none about when the fight occurred.eerste BOILERMAKERS\u2019 STRIKE.TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN NOW IDLE\u2014BOTH SIDES OF THE CASE GIVEN.The boilermakers at McDougall\u2019s foundry quit work last evening.Those at Messrs.Weir's and White\u2019s will join the strike this evening at six o'clock.There will then be two hundred and fifty men on strike.Should the dispute be prolonged, other forms of skilled | labor associated with boilermaking will suffer and the situation will be keenly felt.\u201c A member of the local committee which represented the men before the menufacturers, but who does not wish |.his name mentioned, stated to-day that the men fully expected to win the strike.They were underpaid, and the conditions of trade justified their demand.It bad been said that they were higher paid than in other cities in Canada; but.let it be remembered that it wae cheaper.They were all members of a union whith * extended throughout Canada end the United States and whose headquarters were in Kansas City.The Grand Lodge met there and the Grand Lodge had given permission for the strike.\u2018Single men will get five dollers a week and married, seven, so long as the strike lasts, and I guess this will keep us going.( and C.P.R.shops twenty-five cents an hour has been quoted, but as a matter of fact, only one op two men get that amount, the average being twentyAw2 cents an hour.We saw Mr.McDougall several times, but could get no satisfaction from him.He wanted to wait till he had made a settlement with the moulders who are now looking for the adoption of a new schedule.We could not wait indefinitely, and so we struck lagt evening.The men in White\u2019s and Weir's have been ordered out for this evening.They are all, with a few ex ceptions, mewnbers of our union, and all will be loyal.\u2019 - \u2018What about getting men in from the | United States ?- ~ \u2018Well, we .have volunteers watching every place in the city, and it might be rather unpleasant for the foreigner if hé came around.\u2019 Mr.McDougall did not care :to :discuss the situation, but Mr.Vallance, the 1 would like to know who.| the wisest way, in my opinion.It was remarked {| that in the height of the excitement a |\" In the Grand Trunk | | ist \u201cto port.twenty percent Yess than we could manufacture them for.The reason is, that, \u2018being overstocked, and desiring to keep up their price to their regular custom: ers on the other side, they send their surplus here and take less for it than\u2019 they get in their regular trade.You can see such boilers in Montreal dumped out in a fleld on St.James street west.The tariff wall on both sides of the line should be of an equal height.Then there is the question of outside municipalities bonusing certain firms, as in the case of Sherbrooke.We have to compete with people who have got free grants of land and large sums of money, and this makes our position hard.The manufacturers in Montreal do what might be called a custom trade.They work upon their reputations.They turn out good work, by which they can stand.They pay twenty percent higher wages than in other towhs, and, having regard to this and the heavy taxation \u2018and the competition, they are not in a position to make any advance at present.Owing to the competition to which I refer, all work at present in hand has beén figured down to the lowest point, which would not permit of any increase to the men.But the situation could have been discussed, while the men con- tinüed to work, which would have been However, the men appear to be desirous of obeying the union.We have about fifty men in our shop.\u2019 i | SHIPPING NEWS, 3 | \u201cHi.= Te Aad evo ; \u2026 : \u2018 rival ot 55: ~~.Capetown.LOCAL AND GENERAL MARINE MAT- : TERS OF AN INTERESTING \u2018

spared and thut a truce will be ordered from the palace and the Chinese Question adjusted by diplomatic means.Neimer official-nor' press despatches; warrant this: conclusion, but there are hopeful signs in several quarters of the clouded sky.Admiral Bruce's \u2018telegram, gent from Taku on Saturday, states that there are grounds.\u201cfog: the\u2019.- belief that Prince Ching with his ermy is protecting the legations.against investment by Prince Tuan\u2019 s forces, Detailed accounts of interviews with the \u201cBritish ministers\u201d couriers, who af rived: at Tientsin several days

passion.The Dowager Empress is evidently ying\u201d Prince Ching -against Prince Tuvan and «throwing out an anchor to windward, This is.the fact which impresses diplomatists here.They read with composure the details of the desperate fighting at Tientsin and the repulse of the Chinese attacks upon the allied troops.They assert that ekirm- ishes in which.the casualties of the British, Europeans\u201d and Americans are trivial, are of no account when there ia practical evidence that the Chinese Forces; are divided and.that the legations are _allowed to.their ground.~ Belated details of the fighting at Tien- {ein are conflicting and untrustwortjhy, but there are many signs that the anti- foreign movement is weakening and that \u2018the allied forces are.preparing to make a successful advance.upon the capital and diplomats in the Eiropean capitäls are not \u2018wasting thdir time, but are doing vaual wotk in a.most practical way.It is, however, reported.that.Prince

designs and dictatorial ambition.Sheng, who appears to be the sole Shanghai conduit of Pekin news, cheers the foreign consuls by these confidential communications, but takes excessive precautions to prevent the Chinese from thinking him friendly to the foreigners.The \u2018 Times\u2019 this morning says, however :\u2014\u2018 Some Chinese officials are evidently.desirous to have it believed in Europe that the legations in Pekin are stil under the protection of one section of the Chinese army.But that only makes it more remarkable that they should not employ the only convincing argument by allowing direct communication between the ministers and the outer world.We do not wish to insist too strongly upon this aspect, but these circumstantial rumors lack the confirmation so easily supplied if they are true.Two couriers arrived at Tientsin on July 1 from Pekin.One brought a letter from - Sir Olaude MacDonald, the British Minister, to the same effect as that previously received from Sir Robert Hart.The couriers confirm the reports of the death of Baron Von Ketteler.They say that Prince Ching is doing l-is utmost to protect.the foreigners, but that the native feeling against the whites is strong.Two high officials opposed to the Boxers are reported by the couriers to have been assassinated.Sir Claude MacDonald\u2019s letter is dated four days earlier than that.of Sir Robert

REGARDING ASSISTED IMMIGRATION \u2014IN THE SENATE.Ottawa, July 10.\u2014When the House of Commons met yesterday afternoon Mr.Lariviere, member for Provencher, rpoke at some length of the case of a German settler, Schmidt by name, and his son, who had been done out of their title to land in his province, on which they had paid the entry deposit.He alleged that this was brought about by sharp practices connived at by officials of the Dominion Government.The Minister of the Interior revtied that the action of the departmental officials\u201chad been.all right and that if the parties had suffered it was outsiders who | were to blame and not the government.TRANS-ATLANTIC MAIL SERVICE.: When the House went into committee of supply the votes for mail subsidies and steamship subventions were taken up.The first was $150,000 for the mail service between \u2018Canada and Great Britain.Mr.Foster voiced a complaint that the service by the present contractors, the \u2018Elder-Dempster Company, was too slow, > and vastly Inferior to the Allan and Do- | ie ge Ra A Spt + snl ould not hut | \u2018admit that the average voyage was some twenty hours worse than the Allan boats gave.He was not satisfied, either, with the service Canada 1s getting for her \u2018money and had it not been for the war und the fact that:some of the Elder- Dempster\u2019s boats were called into requi- gition as transports he would have objected very sharply.In response to a question he said the service according to the contract was to be seven and a half days in the summer months .and eight days in the.winter.Mr.Foster thought the wontract should have gone to the Allans.The Ministey of Trade and Commerce replied that it had not gone to the pres ent contractors till \u2018the Allans had refuz- ed it.Mr.Foster\u2014What, \u2018then, do you in- ; aire bine cient service ?Sir Richard Cartwright\u2014I can cancel the contract or make a payment which \u2018I think would be fair for the

Allan and Dominon Compa; ak had now recognized the necessity of ti.ing the mail from a Canadian port.Some figures were given of the time made ty these mail boats.The Allan steamer eastward bound, when carrying the mails, used to average nine days, and w esta: ; nine days seventeen hours, between He.fax and Moville.The Dominion L\u2026- had done a little better than this.Fives average trip eastward was eight days, veven hours, and westward nine days, .hours.Sir Ado:phe Caron menti mie] some of the voyages the Elder- -Demps: or Company made, as follows :\u2014\u2018 Ash,r- 19 days, 16 hours;

allow time for another consultation between the gov ernment leader in the Senate and ls colleagues in the ministry.The government bill to amend the pi lotage law and to amend the Copyright At were
