Street.March 24, 1897.CUNARD LINE.XTEW YORK TO LIVERPOOL VIA iN QUEENSTOWN.FROM PIER 4 peecb.In reply, Sir William Harcmirl said that although the Government declined his challenge he would not decline its challenge now made, although he was of the opinion that the matter was of so great imnorlance that it ought to have bren discussed on a definite issue.Mr.Balfour, the Liberal leader continued, complained that his motion was not sufficiently censorious, but if the motion had been carried it would have turned rut the Government.What more did Her Majesty\u2019s Government want?Why did not the Government substitute for it a vote of confidence ?The reason was, Sir William Harcourt said, that the Government would not face the of concert.The result would not have been the offer of autonomy to Crete, an autonomy which he was absolutely confident would be f[iveo.He thought it unbecoming in the eader of the Opposition, himself an ex-Min* ister of the Crown, and In all probability a Minister of the future, to tiharge friendly Powers with selfishness and with caring nothing for freedom or good government.If the Powers gave a free hand to Greece they Could not refuse it to Bulgaria, Servia,Montenegro or Roumania.No one attempted to disguise the danger in the common action Of six such different Powers as divided Europe; but tVhile they could not work in absolute harmony in favor of peach and freedom the British Government would he disregarding every tradition cf sound policy and every tradition of humanity if it refused to bear ii9 share in a difficult but not inglorious task.(Loud cheers).Mr.Lahouchere said that iu view of the thorough distrust felt in the Government and of the serious crisis in the East, he did not think the eye of Parliament ought to be closed for a fortnight.He therefore moved that the House do not adjourn.This motion Was defeated by a vote of 210 to 49, and Mr; Balfour's motion to adjourn ovtf Easter was carried.Only the Radical mem.* bers supported Mr: Labouchëre's proposal.The front Opposition bench and the other Liberals abstained from voting.A majority of the members of the House have already started for their holidays and wire therefore not present at the debate.CANADA'S CONTINGENT TO THE QUEEN\u2019S JUBILEE.The War and Colonial Offices are considering General Gascoigne\u2019s request for leave to send a Canadian regiment,six hundred strong, to the Queen\u2019s Jubilee.The officials speak most appreciatively of the request as an evidence of Canada\u2019s desire to do the highest possible honor to the occastoo.But they feel that the difficulties for such a number are insuperable, among them being that the acceptance of Canada's offer would upset all the proportions allotted to the other Colonies.France's Naval impotency.Paris, April 13\u2014Minister of Marine Admiral Besnard, in the Cnainber of Deputies yesterday, explained the Naval Construction Bill to the Naval Commitiee of the Chamber.He said the Navy Department proposed, so far as possible, to restrict the number of vessels in distant seas.\\) ithout disputing the value of M.Lockroy\u2019s scheme, Admiral Besnard said he meant the expenditure of 200.000,000 frauca.After dwelling upon the difficulties which France met in making herself fit to face the forces of the Dreibund, both at sea and on land, the Minister of Marine declared it would be impossible for France to oppose the sea power of Great Britain without at least doubling her present Navy expenditures.A BARONE i TOBAOCONI3T.DESPATCHES.Manitoba School

In a short, narrow thoroughfalre within easy hail of the old castle, known as Silver street, Tamworth, the proprietor of a Utile tobacco shop has just succeeded to a bironetcy.Harry Yelverton Goring, the proprietot in questiou, was wtighing out his shag and looking over his stick of o gars in the usual way at mid-day on Thursday, when, as he yesterday told a Daily Mail reporter, he received a telegram from a friend in Lichfield, congratulating him on his title, and referrine him to the obituary notices in that da>\u2019s 'linns.\u2022 I said to my wife,\u201d continued the speaker to our representative, \u201cI doubt rr.y friend is hoaxing me, but anyhow I\u2019ll go to the public reading-room and see.the p iper.So after I had had my dinner I went, and read the notice of the sudden death of my cousin.Colonel Sir Charles Goring.I had never anticipated a fatal termination to his illness, particularly as he was of the same age as myself, and had not gone through the many hardships that I have.\u201d \u201cYou had, I believe, in yodr youth, joined the army as a private?\u201d\u2014\u201cYes.I went out with my fAther and mother to New where my father became private secretary to Sir George Grey, the then Governor.My father continued in the capacity of private secretary to the succeeding Governors for thirty years, when he retired on a pension.After I went out I could find nothing to do, and I went to Sydney to look out for work.I couldn't get any, so I joined the 1st Battalion 12ih Suffolk Regiment in 1369.I had, IHI.DIMll! flic Queen's Diam nd Jubilee A Representative Contingent Will B9 Sent.ta mid i to Foot the Ili'l.The Whole House Enthusiastic\u2014 Adjourned for the Easter Holidays\u2014The Debate on the Fran chise Bill-Mail and Railway Grants Asked For\u2014The Franchise for Women.O-^IRIPIETS, N CARPETING BÏ THE YARD.Tapestry Carpet, Brussels, Ax-minster, Templeton, Wilton, Velvet, Velvet Tapestry, Ingrain Carpet, all wool, and Union, with Borders to suit.See our Axminster Moquette by the yard, a beauty.question of the forces of the Crown being em- I many other members of our family, been ployed against Greece.Never before he as-\tjvcLINKD TO MILITARY LIKE, seried, had a Government declined to meet l such a motion or such an issue and it was now the duty of the Opposition to tecord the views of the United Liberale.The Govern, ment, continued Sir William, said its pi n-ciples were liberty for Crete and pea.e for Europe.But, he anked, what sort of liberty fur Crete! Whas it the kind the Cretans dc-s red?The explanations given, the speaker insisted, were not given io the House of Commons but at smoking concerts, and it seemed to him this shows a desire to disparage the House of Commons, therefore, he regretted that the Government had undertaken to stifle discussion io the House as no Government had ever done before.In the present concert of Europe, said Sir William, Great Britain seemed to be giving everything and getting nothing, the cm cert was started to protect the Armenians Now the House was told ^ the, (;°Y®\"\u2019Tehat.I I did not expect that I should ever come into that the Armenians must be abandoned b\tcousin was of the same age as my- »u.e if th.Turk, y\"\t.«ll,buU.I*av.tl.ou,ht myaonwoul,) massacre the Armenians, th®\u201cchlh®tl^4 1° I it tame day.He is in New Zealand, manag I was then nineteen.'\t.\u201cDid you find any friends in the regiment ?__\u201cNo, I knew no one, and the promotion I got was simply on my merits.I was made sergeant at Sealcot (India) in 1869.In 18/-I returned home from India and was stationed at Dover.Afterwards I came to Lichfield as clerk to the officer commanding Nineteenth Brigade Depot.I retired in 1886 ; and I now have a pension of 25s.fid.per week.I had a big family, and they needed keeping, so I entered t\u2019ha tobacco business, and have been in it for thalast seven years.\u201d \u201cDo you think you will stay in Tamworth ?\u2014\u201cI feel quite satisfied with my preseut position, so far aa it goes.I am quite comfortable, and did not want this thing at all this honor ti^hich bus been put upon me WITHOUT MY WISH.Trains are ran by Eastern Standard .YindeVial\" PHOSPHATE OF LIME.MEAUQUINA Powerful Toole (or tb« cur.of - ANÆMIA, CHLOROSE, PHTH (\u2022«A NERVOUS EXHAUSTION l«Ms».assMi iliawiia\u2014wfPIPriCPLT QXQWTw Long conraleacenoee, and any state of characterised exhaustion owing to lone of appetite 9* strength.J, TIAI^ .Chemist.LYONS, Pmffoo, V;\tauwen a/uia» racs to ooctom.C.«.FRED CHOUIUOU.- f * Caa«U.MORTUAJ*.CeacraJ Agmt I QUEBEC AND LEVIS FERRY T BF STEAMERS ON THIS KERRY (Sundays excepted) ice aud wcatLtr per ittine WILL leave: Powers would massacre Crete, Great Britain had been backing the wrong horse and bombarding the wrong people.The Powers had invaded a country iot theirs and were trying to impose a Joint of Government which the Cretans did not desire.The only difference between the actions of ti.e Powers and of Greece was that the latter had been invited by the Cretans and «hs Powers had not.If the Powers should\tassent to annexation\tthere would\tbe peace\twilhin 24\thours.Proceeding to defend the Government, action in Armenia and Crete, Mr.Balfour said the central question was whether (treat Britain had done more in the interest of peace and freedom by associating herself with the other Powers than she could have done had she remained in isolation.The answer to this would be the judgment which would finally be passed on the Government s policy EVERY 30 MINUTES GITTEIBEIO.I\tLE VIS ForGRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.The Beauty of health, 3§|g||g||p^gU TEMISCQUATA RAILWAY Winter Change of Trains.ON AM; }AFTER MONDAY.THE September, 1396, Trains will run as tol lows :\u2014 MIXED TRAIN loaves R^vioiri-dii-Loup w»-«k d.ysat 9 A.M., arriving at Kdinundston at 2.35 P.M.and Connors at 5.10 P.M.RETURNING Leave Connors, week days, at 7.00 A.M., arriving Edmundston 9.15 A.M.and Kiviero-du-Lnup 2.60 P.M.20 minutes allowed for dinner at N.D.du L*C*\tCONNECTIONS At Edmnndston with trains of the Canadian Pacific Railway for all {joints in Northern Maine and New Brunswick.At Riviere du-Loup with trains of the Intercolonial Railway for all pointe East aud West.Excellent hunting at N.D.du Lac and Connors.Good guides and hotel accommodation at both stations For general information apply to i>.it.McDonald Intercolonial Ry.City Agent, Dalhousie Street.T.CROCKET T.\tD.ii.LIN1X3AY, Gen Manager\t\u201c\u2018Gen.Pas.Agt.Genera Offcee, River du Eon?, P.Q.Feptember 1st 1813) Sepu in be 2, 1896 A.M.8.00 Mail frcca West.P.M.2.30 Lightning prt - s from We.it For INTERCOLONIAL RAILWAY P.M.12 30 Lightning E x \u2022 press to the West.7-00 Mail to the West.ths Ex the A.M.7.00 Mail to Camp-belltoa.7.30\tAiamio.via Chaudière to R.du L.P.M.2.18) Mail to Halifax 4.30\tAccommodation to R du Loup.For QUEBEC CENTRAL RAILWAY.A.M 700 R.Mixed from du Loup.ll.SO Mail from Camp belltou.P.M.12 30 Mail from Halifax.A.M.7.30 Mixed to Beauce Jet.ft St.Francis.P.M.1 30 Express to Sherbrooke.6.00 Accommodation to Sherbrooke.February 22, 18'.7.A.M 8.30, Accommodation.P.M.; 2.00 Express\u2019 from Sherbrooke.Y$T AN!

RELIEF FUND.We cannot too warmly congratulate the members of the Mayor\u2019s Indian Famine Relief Committee upon the success that has followed their appeal to the public of Quebec.The Mayor is specially entitled to prominent notice for the active interest taken by him in the matter, and for his regular attendance at the meetings of the Committee.To the Lord Bishop of Quebec, to whom is due the credit of initiating the movement, and to the authorities of the Archbishopric, who from its very inception gave it all the encouragement and aid in their [tower, public gratitude goes forth.The clergy of all denominations are entitled to public thanks for bringing the claims of the poor starving people of India to the notice of their respective congregations.The collectors have all performed a somewhat difficult and often thankless task with ne small mea sure of success, and Mr.Lafraxce has made a most efficient and zealous trea surer.It is gratifying to note that none of the above have been forgotten in the votes of thanks passed by the Committee at its final meeting.Special thanks are also due, too, both to Alderman T.H.Norris and to Mr.Edward Foley for having frequently acted as Secretary in the enforced absence of the proper officer.The citizens of Quebec are to be warmly congratulated for the liberality that they have shown in subscribing to the fund.The result of their contributions is seen in the $4,500 and more forwarded to the Governor-General through His Worship the Mayor, and by some $2,000 and over sent forward by the local banks.In addition to this we note that some Quebecers forwarded amounts to the Montreal 6Uir fund, others to a Presbyterian fund in Toronto, while Sir Henri doc y de Lotbinieke contributed his $100 to the Ottawa fund instead of the Quebec one.Taken all in all, there can be very little doubt that Quebec s total subscriptions to the fund for the relief of its citizens\u2019 starving fellow subjects >n Indii will be found to very

organs gave a prompt and emphat c denial to the report published by the Chronicle respecting the signing of a provisional contract by the Federal Government with Mr.Petersen for the establishment of the fast steamship line We see the evil effects of the doubts thus thrown upon the success of the Government\u2019s negotiation with Mr.Petersen, in certain articles in recent numbers of the English shipping papers.The Liverpool Shippiiïi Telegraph of Tuesday, Match 30ch, prints the following article :\u2014\u201cFrom time to time paragraphs go the round of the press announcing that the much-discussed fast mail service to Canada has become an established fact so far as the grant- ing of contracts and subsidies is concerned.Some three years since a Mr.Huddart, of Antipodean fame, was a likely starter in the race, but he, in course of time, has dropped out.Then one or two Liverpool lines were mentioned as having se cured the contract, but that report has also died of natural decay.Other cases have been mentioned, and now wo have the announcement which appeared in the press a few days ago that Messrs.Petersen & Co., the steamship owners, of Newcastle, have signed a contract with the Dominion Government to furnish the long impending fast mail service to Canada.In all arrangements of this sort that are entered into it must always be borne in mind that money has to be raised to build the ships and td equip a fleet in a position to compete with those great Atlantic lines which are the growth of many years, are guided by long experience, and have the advantages of an already existing wide connection with shippers and passengers.Now the condition of the shipping trade, even to those lines so advantageously situated, is hardly a matter for excessive envy.There is no \u2019champagne margin\u2019 in shipping at its bes\u2019, and it therefore follows that the investment of one\u2019s money in a fleet which has to begin life in oppo sition to established concerns is hardly venture which recommends itself to the average investor of ordinary caution.This feeling of bashfulness in coming forward with the cash becomes the greater when the venture is not only new aud without connections, but comprises a scheme which experts in the trade have not hesitated to denounce as being\u2014commercially at least \u2014impossible of success.These considerations may account for the fact that four outside firms who achieved temporary fame by being quoted os providers of the fast service have sunk quickly intooblivion.The scheme now before the public is, it is stated, due to the visit to this country of Mr.R.R.Dobell, of Quebec, a member of the Laurier Cabinet, and to the subsequent visit of Mr.Petersen to Canada It is stated that the new provisional con tract provides a subsidy for the new line of £150,000 per annum, but in return 20-knot service must be established.The Allan Line offered to do this for a subsidy of £225,000* per annum\u2014£75,000 more than the provisional contract signed.Now Messrs.Allan out of the position they already hold in the trade could, for reasons already stated, provide a service cheaper than any outsider.If therefore, the Allans feel that their figure is as low as can be quoted with due regard to success, how will Messrs.Petersen with less advantages be able to do the work cheaper ?It must be remembered that the scheme of the Allans provided for a weekly service at the 20-knot speed from Liverpool, together with improved freight seiviccs fom the Mersey, the Clyde, and the Thamea.Messrs.Petersen will have to construct a fleet to do this enormous work, and as it seems probable that they would go to the East Coast for their boats, curiosity naturally is aroused as to whether any shipbuilder in the district of \u2018tramp\u2019 shipyards could successfully turn out the class of vessel necessary for the Atlantic pasiengcr service, and equal, as it must be, to such vessels as the Cunard, White Star, or Hamburg-American boats.It thus appears that the new contract should not for the present be taken too seriously.The Dominion Government are quite justified in endeavouring to obtain a service on the lowest possible erms, but the real question is : Can they improve on the Allans\u2019 offer ?\u201d There is no doubr about it that everybody who believes, as the Chronicle sincerely does, in the good old Conservative doctrine of \u201cCanada for the Canadians,\u201d would have much preferred to see the contract for the fast service going to the famous Canadian firm of the Allans,\u2014a house which possesses capital, reputation, prestige, connections and experience, which has been mainly instrumental in the establishment and development of the steamship traffic between Great Britain and the St.Lawrence, and which certainly ought to be able to establish and to operate a fast trans Atlantic steamship service at least as cheaply as those who are comparative strangers to the route.When the Allans tender»d for this service a year or two ago their offer w.is the most advantageous one received by the Government, and there was univers.d satisfaction at the announcement that they were to have the contract.Why laid.Tire Petersen offer is undoubtedly much lower tlia*i that of rlu* Allans, and the Chronicle does rot ask the Government to do otherw se tha- to accept the most advantageous offer.It should bo thoroughly known, however, whether there is not an enormous difference in the two services proposed, and also whether the Allans were invited this year, when Mr.Petersen was, to make an offer based upon the present prices of steel and shipbuilding.This is a matter of material difference to the taxpayers who are to pay the bill.As an illustration of the change in value of iron and steel within the last few years, our readers have only to contrast the present estimated cost of the proposed bridge over the St.Lawrence with that made a few years ago.Our Liverpool contemporary is quite right in its contention that the Federal Government is justified in endeavoring to obtain a service on the lowest possible terms, and it will have learned, ere this, hy Mr.Chamberlain\u2019s declaration in the House of Commons, that it need have no misgiving as to the correctness of the reports announcing the signing of the contract between the authorities at Ottawa and Mr.Petersen.The London Shipping Gazette prints the following reference to the subject:\u2014\u201cThe announcement that Messrs.Petersen & Co.,' steamship owners, of Newcastle, have entered into a contract with the D iminion Government to provide the long-promised fast mail service to Canada is, according to opinions expressed in circles usually well informed on Canadian matters, hardly to he taken seriously.In the first place, it is pointed out, the contract is a provisional one, i.v., it is dependent upon the requisite capital being raised.The negotiations are the result of arrangements arising from the visit of Mr.R.R.Dobell, of Quebec, a member of the Laurier Cabinet, to this country, and a subsequent visit of Mr.Petersen to Ottawa.This will bo the fourth attempt of those who, so far as regular important trade between this country and the Dominion, are described as outsiders to raise the requisite capital to furnish the boats, etc., necessary to the scheme, and the English public have hitherto held aloof from such an enterprise.Messrs.Petersen, if successful in providing the steamers, will be subjected to the keen competition of the lines al ready in the trade, and, as their connection both on this and the other side of the Atlantic is the outcome of years of growth and development, there is no need to enlarge upon the possible effects of such competition.\u201d If the Petersens\u2019 are independent of the English investing class the announcement in the above extract will of course have no effect upon their project, but if the requisite capital for the execution of the contract has yet to be raised, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that there arc difficulties ahead which may wreck the whole project.From such a fate we may well pray to be mercifully delivered.So deeply interested is this port in the early establishment of the line in question, that we cannot too earnestly appeal to the Government, and especially to those of its members and supporters who represent us at Ottawa, to take such precautions that no further disappointments or delay may occur in the execution of the steamship scheme that may have their support and approval.Wo can make this request the more reasonably because of the proof we have already furnished of our readiness and determination to strengthen the hands of the Laurier Government and to loy ally a ssist it in every honest attempt made by it to furnish us with what is really a first-class fast Atlantic steamship service.Qn qu !i.-r'y general uf r, »v r : .EDITORIAL NOTES.A very uneasy feeling exists amongst the wholesale trade in this city as to the proposed extension of the Intercolonial Railway to Montreal.It is feared that if the railway is extended Montresl merchants will obtain through rates of freight to points on the Lower St.Lawrence and Northern New Brunswick, which have heretofore been controlled by Quebec houses, and that the small trade that is left to us will thus be taken away.The Board of Trade should look into this matter before it is too late.Touching the resolution of the Montreal Board of Trade already published by us, which claims for that city the terminus of the new fait line, the Chairman spoke of this terminus as the dream of the Council of the Board.Quebec has been dreaming of another terminus for this line however, and Montreal realizes at last that this time Quebec has been doing something more than dreaming, for the Chairman remarked that \u201cit appeared to the Council that there was a very great influence being brought to bear in favor of Quebec,\u201d The Canadian Building at Bisley.The following letter has bitn addressed to all commanding officers of Canadian volunteer regiments, and in this city, at least, there has been already quite a generous response :\u2014 Ottawa, 31st March, 1897.Dear Sir,\u2014I have much | leisure in announcing to you Major Perley\u2019s safe arrival in Kngland, and that the erection of the Canadian building at Bisley will be proceeded wiih at once under his personal supervision As stated in a nrevious circular, it is intended that the building shall be ready for occupancy by the Canadien team for 1897.It is earnestly desired by the special com mittee of the Dominion Kifle Association having the work in charge, that it may not only be completed, but that, in view of the increased number of visitors expected at Bisley during the National Rifle Association tournament this (Jubilee) year, it may be thoroughly equipped and furnished.The furnishings are, as well as the building, to be typically Caoadun ; and, in addition to these, gifts of paintings, sketches or photographs oT Canadian scenery, or Canadian birds or fur-bearing animals, properly mounted, or in fact anything suitable for the building and which appertains to Canada, will be gladly accepted.Jt has been decided to ask of evert/ Ru/i-mint in Canada some contribution towards the \u201cBisley Building.\u201d I am therefore to request that you will he good enough to bring this circular to the notice of the corps under your command, and I shall be glad to receive an early intimation of its willingness to mike some contribution, useful or ornamental, or both, to the home at Bisley of our Canadian riflemen.Accompanying this circuhr is a list of furnishings required, and also a list of what has been already promised, with the names of the donors.Any further information the Committee will have much pleasure in supplying.I am, Dear Sir, Your obedient servant, John 1ii.TON.Lt.-Colonel,

Chas.Yezinaand R.Stanley.Mr.Dupre read the following report of the Council of the Board : - QUEBEC RAILWAY BRHMiE.It is with a feeling of great satisfaction that your Council find themselves to-day in a position to report that, since the date of the la t general quarterly meeting, the question of building a railway bridge at or near Quebec, is being seriously revived, and practical mcMis are being taken towards its final solution.Your Council have not.been altogether unconcerned in tins revival, and feel that they can claim a certain share in having paved the way towards the present hopeful status of the enierpiiae.On witnessing the bold and energetic efforts that were and are s ill made elsewhere towards diverting all the main trade channels to one single point of the Province, your Council decided t> memorializs the Quebec Railway Bridge Company and insist upon immediate, energetic, practical and decisive action on their part, at the same time representing that a meeting of the Company and the Council, if found advisable, might bring forth satisfactory results.The suggestion was courteonsly accepted, and the meeting took place a few days after, when a Joint Committee of the Board and of the Council was appointed to collect subscriptions to (he Company\u2019s stock and to deal with other matters pertaining to the enterprise.Your Council has not yet received any official report from its representatives on the Joint Committee as to what progress has been accomplished ; but from w hat has been heard hitherto it can be inferred that the prospects are brighter than they have ever been.It is the sanguine hope of your Council and of all the staunch and sincere advocates of the interests of the city of Quebec, that the enterprise will receive from our follow cilizens and from the Governments such measure of assistance as will before long ensure its final accomplishment ; thus placing Quebec and its unrivalled port on a level with the other important business centres of the Dominion to compete for supremacy in trade and industry.l^t us not forget that on the measure of assistance that the enterprise will be given by the citizens of Quebec mostly depends its prompt realization and ultimate success.THE INTERCOLON HAT.RAILWAY EXTENSION.The official announcement that the Federal Government is seriously contemplatiug an extension of the Intercolonial Rtilway from Levis to Montreal, and to make the latter city the wesiero terminus of that railway, has created much sensation in the country, aud has been the occasion of various comments.While recognizing the advisability of a policy on the part of the Government towards securing as much traffic as possible for a railway, the balance sheet of which is showing yearly deficits, and while also not objecting to the development of the railway system of the south shore, your Council is strongly of opinion that before such a heavy expenditure of public money as the extension of the Intercolonial Railway to Montreal will entail, ia incurred, the Federal Government should see that the St.Lawrence be bridged at or near Quebec, with a view to connect the railway system of both shores The city of Quebec has the right to claim and to insist un having that improvement made, and the demands of her citizens should be considered and every means should be taken towards graoting them.It is high time that the citizens of Quebec should stand firmly by k'uir|intercsta which, after all, hav close connections with the general prosperity of the Dominion, and which seem to have been hitherto systematically disregarded, constant sacrifices of money on the part of ourcity towards publioenterprises which have mostly benefitted distant parts of the Do minion f if years of firm and absolute devo tion on her part to political principles that inspire the men who govern us torday in Ottawra can carry no weight with them, there stands at least in its favor a question of public interest which should command the attention of the Government.Quebec, having the advantage of one of the most magnificent ports in the world, should be placed into such a position as would correspond to the exi gencies of the future traffic which will be brought to its wharves by a fast Atlantic service.And the Government having Quebec extensive properties known as the Princess Louise Docks, should use their beat efforts in bringing traffic to a properly which has cost the Exchequer so many thousand dollars.These are about the views that were em bodied in a petition which was forwarded fortnight ago by your Council io the Hon the Prime Minister, with copies to his col leagues of the Cabinet.The Government was also asked to delay any action in the matter until the next session of Parliament It is hoped that, in justice to all the iu lerested parties, the Government will grant the delay.POMINION BANKRUPTCY LAW.Fresh steps are being taken by Western Boards of Trade towards teouring a bank ruptcy law for the whole Domioion.The Council was asked to express their opinion on that respect.In reply, the latest official report of the Council on the matter was for warded to the Toronto Board of Trade, to gether with a statement that a bankruptcy law for the Dominion will he supported provided the details of the same are satis factory.Your Council is still of opinion (hat the laws regulating the liquidation of iusol vent estates in the Province of Quebec, are the most satisfactory that exist in the whole Dominion.SEA CAPTAINS AND PILOTS.The Association of Sea Captains of Quebec forwarded to your Couucil a petition setting forth : \u2014 1.\tThat pilots are allowed to aot as cap tains.2.\tThat sea captains are not allowed by the Pilotage Act to act as pilots and even to {rasa examinations with a view to act as such or the ports of Halifax, St.John, Quebec and Montreal.3.That tin y ooisider the exclusive priv ilege granted to the pilots as unjust and injurious.4.That all lighthouses, lightships and signal stations generally should be placed under the charge of the sea captains or experienced mariners.On another side, the pilots have sent counter petitii q, in which they claim : 1.Thai the ship owners should be kept at liberty to employ pilots as captains for the river navigation.2.Trial the sea captains, though having the experience of sea navigation, yet cannot be expected to offer ae well as the pilots sufficient knowledge and experience in the navigation of a river like the St.Lawrence.In the absence of more detailed informa tion on the question at issue, which an inquest alone would have elicited, aud in presence of such contradictory statements, it was resolved by your Council to take no action or express auy opinion.CUSTOMS APPRAISERS SERVICE.Some time ago a petition was received from leading « holesale dry goods merchants of Quebec, asking that an asrirtant be appointed to the chief appraiser of dry goods, millinery and textile fabrics in the Customs.It would seen from the petition that one appraiser is not sufficient, aud that that officer cannot couple with all the requirements of the trade.Therefore delays ensue in the service that are the cause of much annoyance and injurious delays.The petition was supported by your Coun» cil.THE CANADIAN FISHERIES AND THE FISH OILS INDUSTRY AND TRADE.Your Council have

NEW VEILINGS NEW FANCY RIBBONS New Straw Hats NEW GOLF JERSEYS NEW UMBRELLAS We are now receiving our Spring and Summer Goods and would draw attention to our Large Stock of Veilings, Ribbons, etc.Particulars and Prices are given below.several petitions which were received from Canadian fishermen, fish oil dealers and others interested in the products of fisheries of Canada, and represented 1.That the products of the river and gulf of St.Lawrence during the past few years, have fallen to an unprecedented low price, through competition with certail mineral oils that are used as substitutes for fish oil», these being the products of the Canadian fislierits ; \u20182.That the admission of any oil from foreign countries, composed of any part of petroleum, at any reductiou under the existing rate of duty, would have the serious effect of causing that particular branch of industry and trade in Canada, heavy losses, which it would be impossible to contend with, inasmuch as many hundreds of men are dependent upon the produclioa of tilh oils I for a living.3.That, therefore, no reduction be made I in the present duties on till contaiuii g any part of petroleum, inasmuch as a large capital is invested in and dependent on thesuccess of Canadian fisheries.4.\tThat the free admission into Canada of the products of Newfoundland fisheries since : 189*2, has caused great damage to the Cana- ! diao fishery industry.5.\tThat the Canadian fishermen should be protected by the Government by means of a tax of twenty per cent on all fish and fish oils from Newfoundland entering the Dominion of Canada.THE NAVY LCAOUEIN CANADA.Some letters, circulars and pamphlets were received from the Toronto Branch of the Navy League of England.The Navy League is an organization, the object of which is to assist in the development of tcade between the different parts of the British Empire, and to strengthen the Imperial naval resources.A memorial was presented in December, 1990, to His Excellency the Governor-General of Canada, by the Toronto Branch of the Navy League, setting forth : 1.\tThat as a Line of Express Steamships is to be soon established between Canada and Great Britain, the vessels should be constructed so as to make them readily convertible into cruisers to be used by the imperial Government in the event of war.2.\tThat the Imperial Iaw be amended so as to admit of the enrolment in the Colonies of colonial seamen, the exclusive manning of the vessels by the Royal Naval Reserve, the carrying of a gun of the latest model in all \u2022uoh vessels for drill purposes, and the equipping of terminals of the route with war supplies.3.\tThat the law should be changed so as to make it posssble for Canadian seamen to enlist in this country, as, under the said law, as it exists, Cauadian fishermen and seamen are practically excluded from enrolment in the Royal Naval Reserve, it being necessary for them to make a trip to Great Britain, and the retainers being paid only upon personal application to the naval authorities in the United Kingdom, all of which is a waste of time and needless expense, especially iu the case of the seamen engaged in the service of the lines running from Vaucouver to China, Japan and Australia.4 That the system proposed by the League would permit of the continuous training of the Reserve men in discipline and guonery.5.\tThat a line of vessels so equipped and manned, would prove of great service in the defense of their respective routes, in the protection of cables, etc.6.\tThat the system would tend to the consolidation of the British Enpirt, to the development of trade between England and its Cclonies, and to improving the condition of the many thousands of men who are now engaged in the Canadian Fisheries.The memorial, of which the above is only a summary, appears to have been endorsed by some Canadian Boards of Trade.No action has yet been taken thereou by your Council as it has not had sufficient time and information to give this question proper consideration.THE BOARD BUILDING.Your Council were much pleased in informing you on the occasion of the last general quarterly meeting that the Quebec Exchange building had become the property of the Board ;

hear of twelv young girls, all chosen for their position and good looks, charmingly attired, while French brides are, on the contrary, more simply dreised than they used to be, and never wear jewels.Formerly the French brides went to church accompanied by one bridesmaid\u2014at the most two\u2014and they were not dressed alike, but in contrasting colture.Large hats are never worn.Smart toques (quite small ones) are chosen ; and this is a mode which everybody would be pleased to see adopted for the big picture hats have surely had their day, and being no longer very new have lost their attraction.Tulle veils for French brides are de riyiur.If family lace Is used it never worn as a veil, but generally employed to good purpose on the trousseau.A New Art Magazine.VV\u2019e should

editorial article under the caption \u201cComrades in Arms,\u201d the Daily Mad, of Tendon, Eng., in its issue of Tuesday, March 23rd, says : Loyal Canada shows the way to all the British Colonies, and the Dominion will shortly be ihc scene of a little experiment in military organization which may well lead to developments of exceedingly great importance to the Empire.Next month a company of the Royal Regiment of Canadian Infantry will exchange duties with a company of the Berkshire Regiment,uow statiouedat Halifax, Nova Scotia, and for several months the Canadian detachment will share in the duties and discipline of the English army.Should the experiment prove successful, other companies of the Canadian regular force will in turn be associated with British regiments for similar periods, and if the result is not to make our Canadian Tommy Atkins \u201ca first-class fighting mau\u201d\u2014well, there is no force in comradeship, in discipline, or in the spirit of hearty emulation.Tne Canadian regulars are already a doe body of men, well trained, and excellently equipped.But it can hardly be doubled that they will improve under the management of -English officer*, and with the stimulus of friendly rivairy to urge them on.The officials responsible for the scheme\u2014it was suggested by Canadian officers and is commended to the Imperial Government by General Montgomery-Moore \u2014are careful to specify that its development will be conditional on the success of the experiment to be tried next month, but the plan is so simple, so logical, and so human, that it can hardly fail of success.Need we say that the advantages of the plan will not end with the putting of a little extra polish on the drill of the Canadian soldier ?That is relatively a small matter.The great point is that our Colonial troop* will feel themselves veritably comrades in arms with English regiments, and in a double sense soldiers of the Queen.The still greater point is that the loyalty of Canada, and of every Colony in which the experimeut shall be tried, will be bracad and stimulated as it has never been before.There is not a mother or a sweetheart or a friend of any one of these sturdy Colonial lads will not feel their comradeship with England's soldiers something to be glad and proud of, something to draw them closer to England\u2019s flag, and make them more jealous of England\u2019s honor.We shall want our fighting cousins of the Colonies one of these days.The world is not yet converted to peace, and the final war of the world temains to be fought.In the day of danger that will all too surely come we shall be right glad to know that the soldiers of the Empire are the comrades and the friends of the soldiers of Englaud.That way lies our hope\u2014it may be, our salvation.Canada makes a goad beginniug ; it is for England to see that the good work goes on, until there is never a Colony under the British flag which lacks its complement of British soldiers to defend it.Two Maidens.Miriam is rather tall, Graoe is short and slight ; Miriam has had \u201ca call\u201d\u2014 There\u2019s a wrong to right.Miriam is very wise, \u201cWoman\u201d is her theme ;

the grateful parents, and that they gladly tell in as strong terms as possible the plain story of suffering relieved and health restored.Many testimonials relate the wonderful success of Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla in such cases, even after all other prescriptions and medicines fail.Here is one: \u201cC.I.Hood & Co., Lowell, M«h.: \u201cDear Sirs: \u2014 Our boy Harvey will remember the good Hood's Sarsaparilla did him as long as he lives.He was a healthy baby when he was born, but before he was three months old a breaking ont appeared on both sides of his face.Physicians did him little good and said bat for his strong constitution he could not have lived through bis dreadful suffering.The humor spread over his forehead, into his eyes, and came ont on his hands.It was indeed pitiful to witness the poor child's Bufferings.It was very painful for him to open or shut his eyes, and we had to tie his little hands to prevent him from scratching the Itching, burning skin.My mother urged us to try Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla.We did so, and a short time after he began to take this medicine we saw a change for the better.We continued until we had given him five bottles, aud then the eczema had entirely disappeared, and be has ever since been perfectly cured of this dreadful disease.His sufferings extended over two and a half years.People for miles around knew his drendful condition and know that Hood\u2019s Sarsaparilla cured him.He is now a bright, boy, perfectly healthy and has the finest skin of any of my five children.\u201d Mrs.L.Klauspeldrr, Collegeville, Pa.Hood\u2019s

proposed bridge at Bout de ITIe as well as a subsidy to the road.Two men held up the Cashier in the Yonkers Savings Bank, New York, at noon Monday, and secured $1,420, mostly in bills, a small amount
