refusal to insert a clause in the army bill declaring it unnecessary to pass an examination in German, defended the Government cn the ground that its promise of exemption, backed by the Emperor\u2019s promise, wss sufficient, without the insertkn cf the clause referred to, the adoption of which would lead to a similar demand on behalf of all the Austrian provinces.He was interrupted at this point by shoots of \u2022\u2022German yer,\u201d \u201cGerman Minister.\u201d Minister Czaky continued coolly, saying the ability of the country to defend itself is a matter which takes precedence of education.Every one ia a better Hungarian and a better patriot the better he knows German.Whereupon there arose a deafening uproar, but lha Minister stuck to his guns and was leesrded by cheers of approval.Zanzibar, Jan.11\u2014Advices have been rewired from the interior that in October last, JSuoanga, King of Uganda, plotted to destroy his entire bodyguard, h:s intention being to abandon them on an island in I>ake Uginxa where they would starve to death.The guards, who had been forewarned of the King\u2019s intentions, refused to enter the canoes which were to convey them to the island, but returned to the capital and made an attack on Kunanga\u2019s palace.The King fled to escape the fury of the guards and bis brother Kirewa was enthroned in his stead.He appointed Christians to the principal offices, this enraged the Arabs who murdered many of the Christian officials and replaced them with Mahommedan*.Tne Arabs horned the English and French missicn stations and killed many of the converts to Chriatisaity.The mioiou boat '\u2018Eleanor,\u201d in whieh some of the persons who had been converted by the French missionaries were fleeing, was struck by a hippopotames and sunk,

never spoke to better advantage than he did on Thursday afternoon.He appeared to be in fine form, and his points were made with tact and skill.Mr.Flynn had not much to say, but what he did say, was pertinent and manly.The Premier had tried to make it appear that the member for Gaape had abandoned his chief, and the policy outlined by his leader, in the mattter of contesting the late bye-elections.But Mr.Flynn repudiated the story in toto, and explained that private reasons only prevented him from going to the Counties of Megan tic and L\u2019Assomption to fight.Those reasons, he had communicated to Mr.Taillon months ago.Of course, we wore aware of all this before.But it is well that Parliament should have been seized with the information thus officially.Mr.Hall, of Montreal, is becoming quite an orator.He spoke exceedingly well, snd it was a treat to listen to his well-rounded periods, and sharp criticism.Mr.Taillon should, however, restrain the eloquent meoÿber for Beauce, particularly in the evenings when the audience is apt to be large and cultured.People can stand almost anything but dullness, and it is the honorable gentleman\u2019s misfortune not to know that he can be atrociously dull at times.Mr.Desjardins made a capita! speech from his point, of view, and as asuaj, he had appreciative listeners.The Opposition developed a good deal of ¦peaking talent, and it looks as if they intended to keep the Government pretty busy this session defending its policy.On ihe Government side, Mr.Mercier was, of course, the chief spokesman, but the presumption is that he will leave much this vear, to his colleagues in the Cabinet, and his supporters on the floor of the House.There was some talk in the cor ridors about the way in which the Nation alista were ignored in the matter of mov ing and seconding the Address to the Lieutenant-Governor.Two Liberals'per-formed that pleasing duty, viz: Mr, A DUEL FOB A LADY\u2019S SMILES.One of \u201cChlmene\u2019s\u201d Lovers Dying and the Other a Fugitive.Montreal, Jan.11\u2014La Presse says that the village of LouseviIIe is much excited over a duel which took place in a field qear the little town.The combatants are named Fre chette and Carpentier, and the affair arose out of a quarrel in which a young lady figured.It was proposed at first to fight on the banks of a neighboring river, using sticks or any weapon that cantfh to hand until one party anccnmbed.His adversary was to throw the body into the river.This scheme was abandoned, in part at leait, and the two young men went into an adjoiniog field, where a most brutal scene ocenrred.Blows were exchanged, and Carpentier received a terrible wound on the head, having been struck with an iron bar.He was found unconscious, but he is still alive.Frechette has escaped to the United States, so that of \u201cChimene\u2019i two lovers one is dying and the other is a fugitive.THE CANADIAN INLAND MARINE ASSOCIATION.Toronto, Jan.11\u2014The Canadian Inland Marine Association finished ice annual meeting yesterday.A good deal of business was got through with.A resolution was pissed asking the Government to contiuue the re-duced tolls ou the canals, and a delegation including members of the Board ot Trade of Montreal, Kingston and Hamilton, will proceed to Ottawa to place the resolution before the Government.The usual annual resolution advccatlng reciprocity wrecking was also passed.A good deal of the attention of the meeting was taken up on Mr.Norris\u2019 resolution asking forwarders at Kingston to reduce rates ou gram from Kingston to Montreal.The discussion was quite rapid for a while and Mr.Thompson of the Montreal Trans-p rtation Company spoke warmly on the subject, claiming that the Marine Association had no right to critic zs the actions of that company.Alter a good deal of talk, the resolution was passed and Mr.Thompson promised to lay what he had heard before the shareholders cf the Montreal Transportation Company when he returned to Montreal.He also said he would use his iofiuence to get what the association wanted, and if the shareholders cf the Montreal Transportatioo Company oould see their way clear to make the desired reductions without injuring their business, he would do all he could towards that end, LEGISLATIVE COUKCIL.In the Legislative Council; Hon.Dr.Marcil moved the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne.He said that the Government had undertaken a patriotic work and desired in no case to act upon tho tiggreraive.Like the French officer*, they virtually said to their opponents, \u201cGentle men, please fire first.\u201d He expressed regret at the illness of the Lieut.-Governor, followed the speech clause by clause, in every point warmly commeuding the policy of the Gov-eroment, regretted the raah partisanship of the federal authorit'es, which, he said, bad led to their unfortonats attacks upon provincial autonomy and to the vetoing of the District Magistrates\u2019 Act of last seision.He spoke in high terms of the Hon.Colonel Rhodes and of his appointment os Commis sioner of Agriculture and Colonization, con gr&tul&tiug the Government and the agricul tural community cf the Province upon the selection of a gentleman farmer to preside over thie important department.He referred in glowing terms to the patriotism of the French Canadian leaders cf years gone by in a manner which insinuated that there was a large falling off in this respect iu their sue-cescors at Ottawa to-day.Hon.J.K.W «rd claimed that the conver eiou of the debt, if it could have been effected, would have been most advantageous for the Province, and pointed out that there was no attempt to enforce conveision.Hon.J.J.Ross, while exprersing deep regret for the illness of the Lientenaot-Gover nor, vigorously criticised the policy cf the Government at enunciated in the Speech from the Throne, and argued that there was no doubt at all of the iotention of the Government to have used compulsion in the con version of the debt.He defended the'veto ing of the district magistrates act, and do dared that the Government had acted in an improper manner in assuming in.this affair to act for the federal authorities, and to appoint the magistrates in question.He also claimed that Liberal lawyers in Montreal for party reasons\tand\tfor the pm pose of making\tthe\talleged\tn-rcessity\tfor the now Court appear much greater than it really was, had made a point of going to it with cases that would otherwise have been entered in the Circuit Court.He ridiculed the idea of any successful conversion of the debt on the lines attempted by the Govern ment with brokers and bankers of such emioent ability as they would have to deal with, and iu referring to the appointment of Colonel Rhodes, said he was glad that at last a representative bad been found for the English speaking minority, and that the new Minister was a gentleman for whom he had a very high personal esteem.Hon.W.Prévost followed, replying with much vigor to theoriticisms of the Hon.J.J.Ross, and claiming that the manner in which the Government and people of this Peovince were treated by some of thote from whom they had a right to expect something different recalled the words : \u201ca quatre pattes les Canadiens.', He denied the allegation that Lioeral lawyers in Montreal took their cases to the new Court for political effect.At six o\u2019clock the House took recess.AFTER RECESS.The debate was resumed by the Hon.Mr.Archambault and the Hou.Mr.Garneau, until ten o\u2019clock, when the Address was voted and [ the House adjourned.CITY COUNCIL.LAST NIGHTS MEETING.of lots, of which only 15 feet were required for widening, leaving all the remainder for resale, which resale wss estimated to yield $99,000.The total cost would thus undoubtedly be within the $100,000 authorized by the Legislature.Councillors Vincent and Matte moved that the report came up at an order of t'-io day.Alderman Hearn hoped the members who had moved to take up the report to-night would be able to give a goo-1 reason for so doing.In an affair of this magnitude he held that the OHual procedure should be followed and that the report should lie over until the next meeting of the Counoil.This was only ¦ fair to the public snd to members of the Conn- j\ti oil who had not the opportunity cf having\t\\ been present at the committee meeting, and *¦\u2014 who had rot read the mass of figures and manuscripts acaempanying it, some of which had not even been read to «he Couccil.If he ' found any un lue coinhirat'-m iu this ma't r he would opposo it even though it cost him his last shilling.Councillor McGreeiy also spoke strongly against taking up the report, the oppo i'.e proued being taken by Me88 < r So e Throat They a:e ex.eunugly adectne.\u201d\u2014Christian World, London, Kng, Chinamen never make good gardeners, i they are too apt to keep a
