[" \"fore a magistrate, ADVERTISING-ISMS.' Suggestions for Successful paper.\u201d VOL.XXXVI, No SANSREGRET UILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER Motorman Whose Car Ran Over and Killed John Morrison Sent to Jail.Henri Sansregret, à former motorman .in the employ of the Montreal Street Railway, was this morning found gullty of manslaughter in connection with the Sansregret, found guilty of manslaughter.death of the late Mr.John Morrison, aud he goes ty jail for six months.Judge Piche, In summing up the evidence of the counsel, referring to the speed of the car, said he would take the, estimate of the witnesses for the pinsecution as being the most reliable, snd unanimous, a large number of these Henrl ; said that the car was making between 12 and 15 miles an hour.On the other Lond, the defence witnesses sald the var was going at an ordinary rate of peed, which gave no ldea at all.Judge Fiche told the Court that it did not matter in the least whether the car was going at 10 miles an hour or at 30, the question was, did Sansregret taka sufficient care to avoid accidents?On this point the Judge took the evidence of the prisoner himself, and he con- grafulated Sansregret on the frank.straightforward manner in which he had related all the happenings of that fatal few minutes.Sansregret said that he had noticed Mr.Morrison about forty feet from the car, and the alarm bell had been ringing ail the way down the hill from Rachel street to Pine avenue.On noticing the oid gentleman he bad again rung the bell with redoubled vigor.and at the same time had applied the brakes, also reversing the power.No doubt Sansregret did not inlend to run down Mr.Morrison, and no doubt the car was not under control, but what was his duty on such a day when the rails were slippy and therefore dangerous?It was to take proper precautions to avoid accidents, and evti- dence shows that he did not \u2018take pro- pet precautions before he saw Mr, Morrison.\u201cTherefore.\u201d said Judge Piche, \u2018I Hind you guilty of manslaughter, and tence you to six months in jail.\u201d The Judge concludéd by saying that He hoped Sansregret would take his present eltuation as an example, as he heped other motormen would also.In several respects this case has been one of the most extraordinary.It is the first time that a motorman has Leen brought before the criminal courts on a charge of cu.pable negligence in operating a sireet car.The article of the Criminal Code refating to negligence in operating a \u2018dangerous machine\u201d has been made to apply to a motor car.The case is alsn unique inasmuch as it was taken before the criminal courts after it had passed through the hands of the coroner and the motorman discharged by the coroner's jury from all blame.The preliminary enquete was held before Mr.Justice Choquet, wha committed the accured to stand his trial on a charge of manslaughter.The ac- ised made his option to be tried be- this being the mec- ond case fn the history of the province i» which election for trial on a charge o* manslaughter has been made by the accused hefore a judge, Instead of before a jury.4 Christmas Watches 2 Necklet Watches G We have pleasure in introducing a new and pretty idea\u2014-\u201c TR e

SEASON HERE Nearly All Trains Delayed and the Roads Out of Town are Heavy.The first real snowstorm of the season.Hitherto the snowfalls have been mere amateur, dilettante snow falls, but this time it was the \u2018genuine article,\u201d in the elegant language of advertising notices, Heralded by two or three cold days, which put the ground in fine shape to hold the snow, {it shows that the winter is now beginning in earnest, and that Montreal may settle itself to its regular winter condition.The storm began at a very early hour and kept up almost without intermission for the greater part of the day.The flakes were small and crisp, and the air was dense with their fall- fug myriads, There was also quite a) strong north wind blowing, and it carried the flakes with such force as to make walking in the face of it something of a task.Under the heaviness and persistency of the snowfall the ground was sSoun covered inches deep wit hthe white burden, which seemed to metamorphose the landscape and give it an altogether new air, as old familiar features were blotted out or changed before the magic of the winter.This was especially the case in the country or the suburbs, where the wind had free play and could drive the snow about and pile it up according to its fantasy.There the ground was swept bare In some places, while in others the drifts were run up so high as to overtop fences and in places to barricade the roads for the patient.plodding country horses that quietly and perseveringly drew thelr heavy loads into town .Although there is every appearance of the winter having set in in earnest, there are still sme of the old weather sages who declare that the time has not come yet and that this storm will be fullowed by @ thaw.They support this declaration by the argument that the ditches are not vet fillled, and that this must take place before the winter properly settles down.It seems that the little waterways in the country are quite dry, instead of being filled with ice as Is usually the case.For this reason the wireacres expect a thaw in order that the ditches may be filled.TRAINS WERE ALL LATE.Among other little vagaries of the storm, all trains coming into Montreal to-day have been delayed for perlods running from half an hour to a full hour.Owing to snow west of here, the Winnipeg Express, due in Montreal at JAPANESE QUESTION A SPECIAL FEATURE French Press Praise Roosevelt Article in His Message About California Trouble.for Paris, December 6.\u2014All the French newspapers, after having taken time for restriction, to-day published editorials on President Roosevelt's mes- rage to Congress, unanimously selecting for comment his remarks upon the Jupanese situation as bel \u201cmost characteristic of the man,\u201d and praising the President's courage.The universal newspapers expressed opinions can be summed up in the words of the Petite Republique, as follows: \u201cHis presentation of the Japanese question was an eloquent feature of the address.It constitutes a lesson in international politics and shows that in order for a nation to have the right tu insist on the proper treatment of its own subjects abroad, it 18 necessary to begin according similar treatment to foreigners at home.The President has spoken with courage, regardless of popularity.He has performed his duty as a man and chief of the state.\u201d a Nt ~ seven o'clock, did not arrive until after une Unusual activity was displayed at & very early hour this morning In the different yards of the Montreal Street Railway Company.The fall of snow went On increasing in volume, and early indications were that a heavy fall would have to be dealt with by the Company to ensure an efficient service during the day.No time was lost and a host of employes were put to Wurk to get out the snow ploughs.The latter were put un the various routes, and the work of cleaning the car tracks started.Guod work in this direction resulted in a fairly efficient car service throughout the city during the entire morning, and suburbanites, as well a8 Montrealers living at a distance from the scene of their daily labors, were brought into the city, if not on time, at least very close to it.The heavy damp snow put the tracks into a very slippery condition, and where it Was necessary to Eo up grade difficulty was experienced in many cases.and the car was obliged to travel at snall's pace, the consequence being | a little delay, and probably a tendency to make sone people sit up and think (at least those who had a seat) what would happen if the car should slip back down grade and with more speed than elegauce crash Into something at the foot of the hill, BETTER FACILITIES FOR SAVING LIVES OF IMPERILLED MARINERS SUBJECT BF DISCUSSION YESTERDAY: IX SENATE Special Staff Correspondence.| Ottawa, December 6.\u2014In the Senate yesterday Senator David gave notice of a motion for papers relating to strikes and the calling out of the mil- itin.He also asked for the Buckingham strike correspondence, He invited the Senators to parttoibate fn a debate upon labor troubles and declared he would offer an amendment to the existing law.He was opposed to municipalities being compelied to bear the cost of militia when it was ordered out for strike duty.: Senator Ferguson asked about the plans of the government for establishing life saving stations and navigation warnings on Vancouver and Prince Edward Island with the loss of many lives and the wreck of à Norwegian barque on Prince Edward Island, near | Eastpoint.In the latter case red tape- tam of the worst sort had cost men's lives, The vessel was ashore with men in peril on her decks, and in view of persons on the shore.It was found impossible to move the Government of- ficlals to send ald, so tied were they by rules.When a private life boat was obtained, the officials of the Government railway refused to forward it by special train?until sixty dollars was put up.The money for the train was supplied by a private citizen.While the officials of the government were doing nothing toward the rescue of the men, two young men, Austin Grady and Wm.Campbell, rowed out in a dory.at the peril of their lives, -and took three men off the wreck.The deed wae a gallant one.Hon.Mr.Scott said the failure ot the Government officials to act had been most reprehensible.It would be 1100ked into.He read a statement of the lights and lifeboats it was proposed to place on Vancouver Island, and added that it Was planned to establish life saving stations on Prince Edward Island.ENQUIRY DEEMED NECESSARY.Senator Sullivan thought there should be an inquiry into the whole question of coast guards, including those of the Lakes.\u2019 Senator Ellis said there had recently been a shocking wreck on the north shore of New Brunswick.For three or four days men were exposed on a stranded vessel near the shore, but beyond aid owing tb the absence of life saving appésatus.all perished, Soon after this there lad been a Norwegian barque cast ashore in the Gulf of St.Lawrence, near a light house, and every man perished.The Senator thought the time had arrived when there should be life saving stations all along Canada\u2019s coasts, where there was water bourne commerce, The Canadian coast was now well lighted and saving stations should be the next step.Economy may Have been a good reason why these stations were not established in the past.Now, however, the revenue of the country was 20 abumdant the Government hardly knew how to spend it.He hoped the Secretary of State would impress upon his colleagues the need of using some of the money for life-saving stations.The United States had set Canada an example in this matter, after every storm there were reports of men, often Canadians, being taken off wrecks along thp United States coasts by the life-saving crews, ertson insisted that there should be an Investigation Into the conduct of Marine Department agent at Charlottetown.With a vessel on the co&st, broken In two parts with survivors on each portion being swept away one by one and dropping Into the sea hour after hour apd their hodies flung up to the people on the beach, who were unable tb -render aid, the Government agent had refused to forward the Governmnt surf boat from Charlottetown, Sir Richard Cartwright sald that netther.the, Marine nor any other department of the Government ever had issued instructions w could be com- strued as forbidding Mts officials \u2018o exercise their discretion in such an extreme case as that described.The establishment of 4 g@eral system of life-saving stations suggested by Senator Ellis might weil e the attention of the Marine Departmen?In- te @ the lakes, Canada had a coast line five or six thousand miles.Tha cost equipping the whole would be probably be too g to be at once undertaken.How , as many life-saving stations as were deemed immediately desirable could be estabHahed.DID NOT NOTIFY DEPARTMENT.Senator Robertson told - Senator Iougheed that there was no evidence the Marine agert at Charlottetown had even wire \u2018the department at Ottawa for instructions or for permisaipn to send the life boat.Instead, he wasted two or three days without doing anything.In the meamtime the men were perishing.Senator A.A.Macdonald understood that the agent had asked Ottawa for instructions.The / people of Prince Edward Island nad/given five hundred dollars to the young men who had made the gallant rescue.\u2018Thetr bravery should be recognized.The sixty dollars should be returned to the gentleman who had paid for the special train to convey the lift boat to Souris.Senator Ferguson said he was not dispoged to ahield Supt.Sharpe, of the Island Rallway, for insisting on their putting up of the money.The case of the marine agent was difterent.He was hemmed about with the strictest sort of rules.This was shown when the steamer Stanley an: Montowoc were in the ice for days, and not a movement could be made to rescue the people whose lives were in danger, without the authority being received from Ottawa.Hon.Mr.Sgott intimated that the matter would receive the attention of the Government and the discussion end TRANSCONTINENTAL TERMINALS IN QUEBEC.Senator Landry asked for papers respecting National Transcontinental Rall- way terminals in Quebec.Hon.Mr.Scott sald that the negotiations had not yet been concluded, 80 the papers could not be brought down.Senator Landry intimated that he would like very much to see the correspondence, as he understood that parties who were interested in property About the Champlain market were interested in getting the depot located there.The site was not satisfactory to all parties.Senator Belque said that at a meeting of all the rallways but the C.P.Rand the Canadian Northern, engineers had been appointed.and they had recommended the placing of terminals at this point.\u2019 However, he understood that the matter was not yet finally decided.Senator Choquette sald the Quebec Board of Trade and the Quebec Harbor Commission were ppposed to the Champlain market being selected as the site of the union depot.\u2018There were three engineers on the committee Mr.Belque had spoken of.One of them, the harbor engineer, had reported against this location.The other two had reported in favor of it, but they were engineats of two organitations of which one man, Hon.Mr.Parent, was the head.One was the engineer of the National .Transcontinental and the other of the Quebec Bridge.Senator Choquette wanted a report of an independent board of engineers, Senator Landry dropped his motion.The bill to confirm the Japanese _ MONTREAL, THURSDAY.DECEMBER 6, DA\" | Packet, to Ensure th Money Can Buy\u2014 Black,

it Is impossible to say just what has s0 far been accomplished.The boards of directurs of both companies met this morning at the Windsor Hotel, and the Hon.W.8.Fielding assisted at the meeting of the Coal directors.Hoth meetings went on simultaneously, and there was frequent communication between them, indicating something of concerted acon.When approached for detalis of tlie meetings, and the developments of the situation, the directurs of both companies anserted that things were not yet in .conditlon for statements to be made to the public.It was given to be understood, however, that a

evidence of the trustworth- fness of the report published in yesterday's Star to the offect that the Minister of Finance was likely to act as arbitrator in the great dispute which has fo: weeks past

was charged with keeping a gambling house at 59 Metcalfe street, was acquitted by Judge Choquet.Oscar Lefebvre was complainant, but not knowing when the case would end.he decided to leave town.Before doing so he wrote a letter to Judge Lafontaine, telling him that his mother him to go away to San Francisco.A reply was forwarded to Lefebvre by His Honor telling him to enme to court and make out an affidavit.Accord- Ingly the complainant called, and alleged, among other things, that \u201c(6) 1 also declare to the best of my knowledge and from what I have cases, taken against the defundants Brady and Nicholson, were taken by Mr.Bruchesi,at the instigation of a Mr.Andy Maloney.himself a gambler, and his client in these two cases.\u201cI am also convinced that the.e cases are cases of revenge\u2019 After the reading of this document, Mr.Alphonse Decarie, who is replacing Mr.J.C.Walsh, ax counsel for the defendant, moved that Nicholson be honorably acquitted, as It had now been proven that the case was merely taken as an act of vengeance, The judge asked Mr.Bruchesl how it was that he was interested in the cage.If there was a case to be mada against Brady and Nicholson, the police should have been informed the police would make the case, They have made cases before, and if chief Carpenter had been Informed his Honor stated that he considered the case would have been carefully handled.In concluding, the judge advised Mr.Bruchest to take any information to the police in future, and If there waa sufficient grounds for a case the sama would be made.Nicholson was then acquitted, His Honor stating that he felt certain that he had been the victim of an act of vengeance, \" THIEVES GETTING BOLDER.A Grocer Attacked in His Shop by Two Men Early Today.Mr.Leonidas Rivet,

a quarter of an hour after the opening of the store two men entered the place and ono of them asked the proprietor for a pound of biscuit.While Mr.Rivet was stooping down to take the biscuits from

Correspondent.London, December 8.\u2014The surprise is general at the announcement made in the Morning Post to-day that the Colonial Conference has been postponed from April to May.Inquiry at the Canadian Government vuffices shows that there is nothing known thgge of the reasons for a pospanemengl The postponement may be due to®™Austra- Ha's wish to discuss shipping rates before the general conference.One comment I heard to-day was: \u201cOh, well, whoever postponed \u2018he conference, Fielding gets another month to fix up terms with Herr Bopp and Roosevelt.To say, as Mr.Fielding 18 reported to have said yesterday, replying to Mr.Foster, that the idea of an arrangement with the States wus never in his mind, is, of course, calculated only to raise a smile, and, as for Germany, everyone knows she has been practically sitting on the doorstep of the Canad.an department of the British Government for months past, eager for any sort of an arrangement which might put a fresh spoke {n her scheme for mutual preference between members of the Empire.It looks tp many friends in Canada here very much as though an open door was provided by Canada\u2019s intermediate tariff to give both Germany and the United States all they want.\u201d WINDERMERE, À COOL THOUSAND BLOCKS HIS BLISS Montreal 1s ihely to have a sensational breach ôf promise trial case in the near future.The rather unusual practice of asking for a jury trial has been resorted to in a case brought by Jacob Goldstein against Myer Poy- aner.It is therefore likely that scenes somewhat akin to the famous case of Bardell vs.Pickwick may be developed before twelve good men and true, when the trial date comes around.According to the declaration drawn up by Messrs.Jacobs and Garneau, who are acting for Mr.Goldstein, the latter's daughter, Hattie, who is a handsome young girl, became engaged in August last, to Myer Poyaner, son of Mr.A.Poyaner, the dry goods merchant of this city.The betrothal, in accordance, with the Jewish rite, was public, both parties giving presents to the other.The question of presents seems to have been the first cause of friction.According to the defendant, who hag retained Messrs.Greenshields, Greenshields and Lan- guedoc for his defence, the dower of Miss Goldstein was represented by a cheque of $1,000 which was jaid down for the edification of the friends of both parties, but the only amount really paid up was a sum of $400.The sult, however, is for 35,000.Of this amount $600 is claimed for the cost of the trousseau, for the marriage was fixed for December 15th, and evetrything was ready.Another claim is for the $400 referred to pald in as the bride's dower, and $4,000 is sought as reparation for the wounded feelings, reputation and matrimonial chances of the pretty young fancee, whose lover now proves refractory and refuses to carry out his obligation.An intimation has been given to the plaintiff and to his family, however, that young Poyaner would gladly carry out his engagement, on condition that the Goldstein family should make up the deficlency between the 8400 posted as a dower, and the cheque for $1000, which the defendant alleges was put up at the bethothal.At the time of the betrothal, too, the prospective groom presented a watch, a Jong chain.and various pieces of jewellry, according to the usual custom in such ceremontes, to his bride-to-be.A second proposition | from his side ts that the should return the jewellery thus re ceived, and, In exchange get the of dower.A third proposition that she should acept $200 of the and allow the recalcitrant lover to keep balance as compensation for the Jewellery which she may keep.None of these proposals, however, appeal to Miss Goldstein or her father.and they are determined to press the suit to the end.- \u2018 rem MILLION DOLLAR BUILDING FOR TORONTO.Special to The Montreal Star.Toronto, Ont, December 6.\u2014 The board of trustees of the Toronto General

were influenced in their policy toward Nipissing by the advice of Kuhn, l.oeb & Co.and bankers with whom they are associated.\u201cThe inference was that they did not want their clients to stand in the position of fostering specuiation In mining shares.\u201cIt is known that some of the most important stock exchange houses have been told Ly their banks to make trading in mining stocks ns hard for their customers as possible.\u201d And for the sake of helping the general market the Guggenheims lost $1,700,000: Par nobile fratrum.\u201cLawson Panic\u201d 2 Years Ago To-day Two years ago

stated that of the $2,000,000 capital over 5800,000 was already subscribed, and $1.,600,000 will be subacribed before the bank opens for business.As soon ns the Montreal property is secured, the bank

that the head office and the Toronto branch will be established.Mr.Ostrom \u2018says that the bank will carry out its announced policy In all its details, Including the transacting of an all-night business.Nipissing Held Over 17 Mark ° Nipissing held well to-day, and confl- dence 1s gradually being restored.Strange to say, there are now more Montreal people In Nipissing than ever before.Local

continues active Rs ever.A carload of creamery has Just been shipped to Winnipeg, and two more cars have been sold to go to Ontario points.This means three carloads taken out of local stocks, and these stocks are already light.A car was also skipped to British Columbia last week.It is difficult to say what the prices were in all cases, but one car sold yesterday at 25c per lb, and it is likely that the remainder was anywhere between that figure and 25%c, this being the general range for good to fine creamery, It\u2019 seems likely that occasional sales are being made at 26c for extras, but the quantity is not large, and dealers generally {ind it hard enough to get 25%c.The market continues very strong, how- \u2018evr, ang dealers hardly know what ptice to.exppct.The present snowstorm

small.The result is that at the the present time there is no demand from the other side, but dealers here are of the opinion that shortly after the firat of the New Year there will be a need to renew stocks, and that they will theh have no dificulty in disposing of all they desire.Meantime they are holding firm here, at 11% to 11%c for current receipts of Eastern cheese, and 12 to 12%c for

board room of of the Bank at Sherbrooke at two o'clock on Wednesday, December 5, and in addition to the directors there were present: F.M.Sherman, Newport, Vi.; F.D.Spaulding, Burlington; Edwin Howe, Hatley; B.A.Baldwin, Norton Mills; D.Williams, St.Johnsbury; Chas.Ward, Derby Line; Col.H.R.Fraser, Dr.F.J.Austin, Captain Bennetts, of Bher- brooke, and others.The President took the chair, and the General Manager acted as Secretary.Col.H.R.Fraser and Mr.F.D.8paulding were appointed scrutineers of votes.The directors\u2019 annual report as follows: \u2014 In submitting the accompanyirg Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Statement your Directors have pleasure In informing the shareholders that the gross profits for the year under review have been satisfactory, but, unfortunately, the Bank has been called upon to bear exceptional losses in Montreal and St.Hyacinthe, which have been fully provided for and written off from the year's profits; the usual dividends have been declared and a substantial sum carried forward.You will observe by referenco to the accompanying sheet that $2,000 has been transferred to the Officers\u2019 Guarantee Fund; $260,000 premium on new stock transferred to the Reserve Fund, and the balance, $75,749.46, now stands at the credit of Profit and Loss for future appropriation.Your Directors, therefore, have every reason to belleve that the result will be considered on the whole satisfactory.Business throughout the country has been satisfactory in nearly all lines, with the farming community especially 80, the dairy product being rather in excess of last year and bringing better prices.It is gratifying to note the great increase In immigration, a large propor- tlon being of the better class with sufficient means to enable them Lo was make a good start In the country: it 13 to be regretted that more of them do not find homes in the older pro- vinces\u2014those that have done po are doing well; The wrecking of the Ontario Bank is one of the unfortunate incidents of the year.That the fallure of such a large institution did not cause any disturbance in financial circfes, and that its creditors were not eeriously inconvenienced is a matter of congratulation.It has, however, again raised the question of Government or indépen- dent inspection, and the matter is now under consideration by the Bankers\u2019 Association and the Finance Depart- medt 6f thé Goveriment.Your Board would favor any well-devised system which.will safeguard the Interest of the shareholders and the publié.The Bank as well as the commantty at large has met with a serious \u2018loss during the year in the death of your Vice-President, Major el Wood, one of the ortginal a parehol ers and a Director for twenty years, and also Director Henry Braithwaite Brown, both men of ability and good judgment, with the best Interest of the Bank always paramount.In consequence of à fire having rendered the property purchased by the Bank in Montreal untenable without heavy expense, Ît was decided to proceed with the erection of our new office building without delay.The old bullding has been demolished, and plans are being prepared so as to be ready to go on with the work the coming spring.Several new offices have been eatab- lished during the year, showing good results, The usual careful and thorough inspection of the various Branches has been made.The whole respectfully submitted.WILLIAM FARWELL, President STATEMENT OF EROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUN For the Year Ending November 15, 1908.Balance at credit of profit and lose brought forward fro

The Press Gallery, House of Com- | Mons, December 6.\u2014The legal chief of the Dominion Government ran eground on the new rules in the House vf Commons yesterday afternoon.The Minister of Justice rose before the Orders of the Duy on a question of privilege.He wished to reply to u siahde ni tbe gue rary of Canada \u201cA telepraphlc despatch states, said Mr.Aylesworth, \u2018that a former member of this House\u2019 '\u2014he referred to Mr.Rufus Pope ex-M.P.\u2014\"stated tn British Columbia that a vacancy in the Supreme Court of that province was for sale.\u201d ; Mr.Aylesworth was continuing te explain the seriousness of the charge and the general esteem in which the bench was justly held, when the leader of the Opposition rose with a shrewd query.\u201cIs this question debatable,\u201d Mir.R.L.Bordeu.\u2014\u2014 \u2014 ee asked This brought the Speaker into the circle.\u2018\u2019The new rules,\u2019 he explained blandly \u2018require that to bring up a question of this kind, the honorable member must inove the adjournment of the House and submit to the Speaker a summary of the matter he Wishes to bring up.Then the Speaker may within his discretion grant the honorable member the privilege.\u201d This, of course, would leave subject open to debate.Mr.Aylesworth did not find this exactly to his mind.\u201cI do not wish to discuss the matter\u201d he said, \u2018\u201cbut\u2014\u201d.\u201cSome other members inay want to discuss it, Mr.Speaker\u201d intenject- ed Hon George E.Foster.Mr.Speaker repeated his ruling and the Minister of Justice bowed in silence to the will of the chair.He had not precipitated à debate but neither had he given the objectionable report a denial.though he had given it broader currency.The new rules are proving troublesome and the next victim was Mr.J.H.Bergeron.He rose to call attention to the fact that the French Hansard was delayed long after the English version.\u201cThey are delayed so long as to be useless,\u201d he continued.\u201cThat is\u2014\" \u201cOrder, order\u201d called the Liberal benches, glad to get a chance tn even things up.Mr.R.L.Borden smiled tt hig ton energetic supporter, and

Waldron, Drouin and Company, 138 MoQill 8t.; Montreal.matter of the dismissal of Mr.W.T.Ii.Preston was under discussion at, the last session of Parliament,\u201d is locked safely in the memory of Hon.Frank Oltver and there is no key in sight.This information was elicited by Mr.Urtah Wilson, of Lennox and Adding- ton, who moved for a copy of this report, a copy of the report of the Par- llamentary Investigation of last ses- ston, and for a return as to Mr.Presto's present position and his salary.Hon, Frank Oliver briefly gave the assent of the Government to the granting of the order.\u201cThe investigation promised,\u201d said the Minister, \u2018was held and a verbal report was made on which there are no papers to bring down.\u201d MR.LANCASTER'S \"HARDY ANNUALS.\u201d Mr.E.A.Lancaster, of Lincoln, occasioned considerable discussion by his speech on his bill to require masters and mates on vessels trading in Canadian inland waters, \u2018\u2018the minor waters of Canada, or on coasting voyages.\u201d to be British subjects.This started a debate between the member for London and Mr.Macpherson, of Vancouver.The argument resolved itself into a debate between inland and sea-coast members, with the single exception that A.A.Stockton, of St.John county stond in with Mr.Lancaster.Mr.Mac- pherson.Mr.Sinclair, of Guysboro, Mr.A.K.McLean, of Lunenburg, repre- servatives of both Pacific and Atlantic coasts, united to oppose the bill, and Mr, Leighton McCarthy, of Simcoe North, was with Mr.Stockton, almost the only one who stood up in Its behalf.Hon.Mr.Brodeur suggested that the bill be again referred tv the same committee as last session, with the substitution of Mr.Aylesworth, for Mr.Fitzpatrick, who is now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.Mr.Lancaster feared another shelving.He asked a promise from Mr.Brodeur that the bill would be made a Government order on its return from the committee.Mr.Brodeur\u2014\u201cThe Government will not make any objection to the bill being taken up when it comes from the committee, and wishes the work in committee to be expedited.\u201d This discussion lasted some time.It was 5.15 and Sir Wilfrid moved that the House adjourn.MR.MACLEAN IS AXXINUS, Mr.W.F.Maclean had heen waiting patiently all afternoon with two bills on the order paper.\u201cIt 1s forty-five minutes to six.\u201d he said, \u201cand I could make good progress.\u201d \u201cThe honorable members bills will bo first order to-morrow.\u201d explain 4 the Premier, and Mr.Maclean resumed his seat.But after the adjournment was carried he crossed the floor tn talk it over with Sir Wilfrid.Another of Mr.Lancaster's bills, which was likewise shelved last session, was given a second reading.This bill proposes to amend the Rallway Act 80 as to aliow private parties to initiate land arbitrations \u201cwith ratl- Ways.CO-OPERATIVE LEGISLATION.Second reading with reference to a special committee was the fate awarded to Mr.Monk's measure for federal incorporation for co-operative associations in industry and in bank- ng.Mr.Monk explained the objects of the bjil and sketched briefly the history of co-operation in other lands.The banking feature was that to which the greatest objection might be taken, but he explained that the societies were allowed to lend only to their own members and that there was full publicity with reports to the Minister of Labor, while the society was not allowed to operate outside the Mmits ot one electoral division.The Minister of.Finance expressed hearty sympathy with the principle of co-operation, but desired the bili to go to a special committee, especially on account of its banking features, and the bill was disposed of in that way, A trio of questions regarding the St.Lawrence route, put by Mr.F.D.Monk, were answered by the Minister of Marine and Fisheries.The Government, Mr.Brodeur stated.had recetved a request from the pilots between Montregl and Quebec to widen the channel at Cap Charles from 300 to 500 or 600 feet at least, and dredging was now in progress.In regard to the grounding of the Victorian, Mr, Brodeur stated that there were no boulders in the channel at Cap Rouge, and that the grounding occurred outside the channel and during the fog.GEORGIAN BAY CANAL.\u201cThe Georglan Bay Ship Canal, from Georgian Bay to Montreal, is a thing of the near future\u201d \u2018The imprimatur of accuracy was put upon these words as a report of a statement by the Post- master-General] when in Montreal, on November 18, during question hour in the House.As to its being an official utterance, Mr.Lemieux stated that he was speaking merely for himself, but that the project was one which commended itself to his judgment.The total amqunt already expended on surveys for the work is $658,000, and a report of the surveys is expected by the end of January, : MR.HYMAN'S RESIGNATION.Mr.R.L.Borden again broached the subject of Mf.Hyman\u2019s resignation, and asked further information of the Speaker and of the Premier.The Speaker replied that he had heard nothing further regarding Mr.Hyman\u2019s resignation of his seat,
