Ottawa, Ont., April 6.\u2014The House spent the afternoon session discussing a motion of Mr.Davin\u2019s, declaring that the good faith of the.Government with the farmers of the North-West should be complied with in the matter of placing agricultural implements on the free list.\t\u2022 When the motion had been disposed of by Hon.Mr.Fielding moving the adjournment of the debate, the Hpuse adjourned until Tuesday next.Y\\ hen the Speaker took the chair a number of questions were uusweied.la the absence of Hon.Mr.Foster, Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper asked :\u2014Has the Chicoutimi Pulp Mill Company been permitted to import and use in their factory machinery without the payment of duty ?If so, has this been done on a general system which is to be extended to other like companies T What is the amount of duty so held in suspense, if any Î\t,.\t.The Minister of Customs replied that during the erection of the mill, machinery had been entered free of duty as a matter of convenience under the supervision of the Collector of Customs at Quebec.When the mill was completed, .the Department had made a demand on the Company for the duty, amounting to $2,137.Sir Richard Cartwright tnlormed Mr.Taylor, who asked the question in the absence of Mr.Bergeron, that the Government was not aware that a document concerning the Manitoba Schoole had been presented to Hia Holinesa the Pope or the Bacred Propaganda aigned Wilfrid Laurier.The Minister of Railways told Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper that Mr.A.H.Harris was General Traffic Manager of the Intercolonial Railway.His duties were to devote his attention to the traffic matters under the supervision of the General Manager.He had the power to fix rates without thetauotion of the Minister cf Railways.Mr.Campbell, cf Kent, before the orders of the day were called, read a statement which aopeared in the Halifax Herald, and which was copied into the Chatham Planet, a paper published in Mr.Campbell\u2019a constituency, to the effect that the Government had drawn the colored line and dismissed all colored portera on the Intercolonial Railway.He read correspondence from Interoolonial officials which showed that all the colored porters dismissed from the Intercolonial Railway had been re-etnployed on the dining car service.Mr.Campbell was interested in the statement, inasmuch as, he said, the story was being used against him among the colored population of his County.Hon.A.G.Blair also contributed letters from tbs General Mabager of the Interco-.lonial Railway denying the statement pubr liahed in the Halifax Herald.When the orders of the day wereoalled, Sir Charles Hibbert Tuoper informed the House tfril Hon.Mr.Foster, who specially wished to speak after the Finance Minister on the Budget, was rather seriously indisposed.He asked that the debate be adjourned until the next meeting of the House.Sir Richard Cartwright, who was leading the House,gracefully consented to adjourn the debate and expressed regret at the indisposition of the Hon.Mr.Foster.He, however, expressed the hops that the Opposition would not prolong the discussion on the Budget beyond wbat was absolutely necessary in criticism of the Government\u2019s policy.He would himself set the example by making his remarks very brief.Mr.Davin\u2019s motion w®* then taken up.The member for Western Aaeinaboia spoke st great length, arraigning the Government for its broken pledges to the electors.Toe debate was continued by Messrs.Roche, Sproule and Taylor.Mr.Richardson, Liberal, proposed an amendment to the effect that the present duties be reduced by ten per cent.He admitted that the present duties were not satisfactory to the population of Manitoba i and the North-Wes:.The debate was adjourned on motion of the Finance Minister, who said the eubjict under discussion would more properly come up when the Budget was debated next week.Hia motion to adjourn the debate was carried on a division of 14 to 46.The House then adjourned at six o\u2019clock.MonntlAI,, April 6.\u2014The annual meeting of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company was held to day.The report was adopted * and.the proceedings were unanimous through- ! out.In submitting the report of the Directors! for approval, the President said with refer- ! ence to the difficulties with the American transcontinental lines :\u2014\u201cFor a number of | years prior to 1894 the Canadian Pacific had, by agreement with the transcontinental lines, been allowed differential rates on the passenger traffic between the Eastern States, Eastern Canada and the Pacific coast.The principle of differential rates when applied in our case was not new.It was adopted many years ago as a means of adjusting the difference in conditions between competing lines.Differentials are in use to-day for this purpose in various parts of America and even between the Atlantic seaboard and Chicago, where they are accorded certain trunk lines including the Grand Trank.In 1894 the situation of the Canadian Pacific as regards through passenger traffic had considerably Spanish Royal Decree Expected To-morrow\u20141 he Pope\u2019s Mediations Hava Closed\u2014An Armistice May Be Declared in Cnba\u2014 Consul General Lee not Leaving: Havana\u2014Opinions of the London Press.improved and a new agreement was made 1 was at least a possibility the massage written whereby the Canadian Pacific differentials j and approved might never go to Congress at on transcontinental passenger traffic were re- I\t.v duced and confined in the east to restricted ! The first reason for the delay was that she territory.They applied to all points on the j Administration received advices from General Pacific coast.At the time there was not r Lee, at Havana, indicating Uiat, alUhe Amer- mnch travel to Alaska, but a few months back it became apparent that it would soon reach large proportions, and about the opening of the present year, just as the new stream of travel was setting in, we discovered that the agreement of 1894 was being violated by our competitors.Our agents bought tickets at agencies of the ( Great Northern and Northern Pacific Com- ¦ lanies, not only at our differential rates, but ar below.The evidence was unquestionable and the facts as to the broken rates and who broke them were not denied by anybody.We called the offending lines to account for | this violation of the agreement.They re- | plied that they had decided no longer to con- sent to allow differential rates for the Pacific case, closed so far as this Government was coast traffic and asked for a meeting concern ing the question.We insisted on the restoration of rates on the terms of the existing agreement as a condition precedent to the meeting.They refused.We then, after notice, published an open tariff, making such rates as the provisions of the law and the interests of the Canadian Pacific seemed to require.The questioa at issue this tinse is not whether there shall or shall not be differential rates, that question we are prepared to discuss on its merits when a meetiog is held for the purpose of revising the existing agreement.The question now is whether as.a condition precedent to meeting the lines interested for the purpose of revising the agreement as to rates, the conditions ante-bellum shall be restored.We have the right to insist on this, but in the interest of peace have been willing to leave to disinterested arbitration the question whether the rates and conditions shall be restored in whole, in part or not at all pending the meeting.A resolution providing for such arbitration was offered at the conference hours at each place to allow of passengers going ashore.Has excellent accommodation for passengers.Shippers sre requested to mark tlia port of destination in full on all packages, to avoid mistake in landing.For all particulars, apply to ARTHUR AHERN, Secretary.A.B.OUTERBRIDGE ft GO.,

cannon\u2019s flash changed the Cuban situation to-day.The galleries of Congress were crowded.Senators, and Representatives were anxious and agitated, even the diplomatic corps was in a ferment awaitiug the message from the President of the United States to the Congress of the American people that might mean war.When with excitement at the very highest, the word passed that there would be no message to-day.Its suddenness stunned the public, which heard the news in distorted forms and amazed veteran members of Congress.Ultimately it became known that not only would there ue no message today, but no message this week, and that it icans could not be gotten off the Island tO' day and would be in grave peril if the met-sage preceded their departure.The second reason and perhaps equally potent with the other, slowly drifted into public comprehension late in the day, chiefiv through the medium of published Associated Press dispatches from Madrid, for extreme reticence was maintained on ' the subject by the few in Washington who knew the facts and even Cabinet officers were unadvised on the subject.This important news was that the Spanish Government, after what plainly had been most exciting times in the inner Spanish circles ot Madrid, had decided to reopen the concerned, by the refusal of Spain to* make satisfactory response to the representations made by the United States last week, and in order to avert impending war had decided to make concessions heretofore refused.What will be the final outcome it is too early to say, but the aspect of affairs certainly is considerably more pacific and sufficient to renew ! the hope of the President in a eolation of the Cuban question satisfactory to the American people and aohieved without bloodshed.The details remain to be worked .out, but it is expected that between now and Monday a cleaier light will be thrown on the future by action at Madrid, of which one important ! feature at least is the declaration of an arm-j Utice by the Queen Regent of Spain.This armistice, it is expected, will lead to the I ultimate indepeudence of Cuba from Spanish : rule, but by what intermediate steps ! perhaps even the governing powers do not at this time know.Much, it is supposed, will depend upon the Cuban insurgents and the peoples of the two countries of the Uoite.d States and Spain.The Powers of Europe, material and moral.empty shells and eleven tons of empty cartridges, all from the Elswick works.Mr.Geo.W.Smalley, the New York correspondent of the Times, expresses the opinion that \"Congress has done its worst and President McKinley has regained control, if, indeed, he ever lost it.\u201d Tne Rome correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says :\u2014\"Archbishop Ireland has cabled the Pope that mediation is almost impossible, in consequence of the resistance of public opinion.His Holiness is much grieved by this check to his good intentions.\u201d The Cuban insurgents, it is said, have cabled the European Committee that they will not agree to an armistice er disarmament unless Cuban independence is proclaimed.The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says \"1 am able to assert that in the opinio i of more than one European Government, a peaceable settlement on the basis of Spanish concessions could easily be seemed if a little time were allowed for reflection and discussion, but the rapidity of eveots at Washington is the most dangerons element of the situation.It is questionable whether the Cubans are ripe for independence and whether each a measure could possibly be executed in a hurry.\u201d Sir George Baden Powell.Conservative member of Parliamentfor the Kirkdaledi vision of Liverpool, speaking in Liverpool to-night said he knew something of Cuban aspirations and he coaid solemnly declare that a war between the United Sûtes and Spain on the pretext publicly made would be nothing short of criminal.\"Neither Spain nor the United States,\u201d said Sir George, \"has any reason to bring about the awfol results of war.The spirit of unrest that has oome across ths American people can only be likened to a little school boy walking about with bis knuckles itching to get at somebody.This feeling conies to nations at parioda of too rapid growth.\u201d April 7\u2014The Rome correspondent of th« Daily TeUgraph says:\u2014While receiving a body of American pilgrims this morning, the Pope delivered an eloquent and feeling address on peace.Its maintenance, he said, prompted hia action.His Holiness had previously passed three hours in conference with Cardinal Rampolla, the Papal Secretary of State.Doubt is gaining ground here as to ths.acceptance of the Papal proposals and the American Embassy despairs of peace.The editorials of the morning papers express conflicting opinions.The Daily News thinks the prospects of p^ace brighter.The Standard says :\u2014\"Evidently there is to be no war between the United States sad Spain about Cuba.The Powers and the Pope together will he able to arrange a solution.\u201d The Daily Cheonicle, on the contrary, considers the aspect of affrirs threatening and advises Spain not to commit suicide.Havana, April 6-Consul-General Lee assures the correspondent of the Associated Press that he has received no instrnctions to leave Havana.It it reported, however, that some of the Consul records were sent north by the \u201cMascotte\u201d to-day.The G.Lawton Childs Ccmpany had intended to close their bosiness here to-day, but have reoonridered the decision.That bank and the Hidalgo

and if that is the only condition on which he can be restored to health, the country will be reconciled to his absence At the same time, the breakdown will cause anxious searchings of heart, and for several reasons.As every one knows, the relations of this country with both France and Russia are the legitimate cause of some anxiety ; and there will no doubt be many who will think that Lord Salisbury\u2019s un rivalled knowledge ot affairs will be sadly missed.In this they will, in a measure, ba right ; but there is no reason to fear that either Mr.Balfour or the Cabinet that supports him will be any the less re solute because the guiding hand is for the moment off the helm.After all, the negotiations now pending were initiated by Lord Salisbury himself.He has already indicated the lines on which British policy must proceed, and there is less need now of determining what our course is to he than of determination in maintaining that course with firmness, dignity and courage The greater anxiety will be as to the pros pects of Lord Salisbury\u2019s complete re covery.For, if those should unfortunately not be good, it will be necessary to recast the Cabinet; Speculation has long been rife over the Premier\u2019s successor.The Unionist party seems to be as rich in candidates for the leadership as the Radical party is poor.Wo hope, should a successor have to be found, that he will be one on which the party will unite.Happily, how ever, there seems no ground for supposing that Lord Salisbury's return to strength and offi:e will be long delayed.\u201d him in his efforts to avoid a disastrous conflict, with its attendant sacrifice of human life and general derangement of business.He has achieved a wonderful success so far, in restraining the warlike propensities of the more blood-thirsty of his fellow-countrymen, and every day so gained increases the probability of avoiding the outbreak of hostilities.It is by no means certain as yet that war can be averted, but the prospect of continued peace is brighter this morning than it has been at any time during the last fortnight.Spain remains obstinate, it is true, and herein is a serious menace, but her obstinacy may yet be wonderfully tempered.exm IP.SIDVC^-XtXD & Are now showing in their Millinery Department on Fxcond Floor, also in windows, the Newest Importations of uiilg.Jet Toques, Trimmed Hats for Misses and Children.ALSO, English and Domestic Bicycle.G oil and Travelling HATS.FOR THIS WEEK.25c.Oelebr&tion of St.David\u2019s Day In Quebec, BY THE TWEXTY-THIRD MENT, IN 1841.REGI.OF u T LE SOLEIL\u201d HE SOLEIL publish.NEWSPAPER WILL \" \"\" \" \u2019 ,lprilflth, A SPEClifi EASTER EDITION coutaininsr not less than 1$ and probably 14 pages.Nearly every page will be illustrated.All the different groups from THE of last spring will be given in half-tone cuts on flue paper.Also, new views of the VICTORIA PARK, The Nkw Wino of the Chateau Frontenac, \u2014and pictures of- Lady Laarier, Madame Marchand, and the wives of all the Provincial Ministers.Also, photo of SIR WILFRID LAURIER, twenty-one years a?o, when he first entered the Government.He is surrounded by 35 of his supporters.For -'fale by all Newsdealers and at \u201c LE SOLEIL.\u201d April 7, 1808.\tB NEW BOOKS.American Wives and English Husbands, by Gertrude Atherton.The Story of the Malakand Field Force, by W.L.Spencer Churchill.The Lady Charlotte, by Adeline Sergeant.A R 'many of the Snows, by Gilbert Parker.Hernani, The Jew, by A.N.Homer.Dick Hivers (a Novel), by Annie Thomas.The Incidental Bishop, by Grant Allen.Josiah's Wife, by Norma Lori oner.P.d.EVOY, 107 St.John Street, April 7.1898.\tNovlti-Lin Fuimlii\u2019d House to Rout.TO RENT, FURNISHED, for summer months, a small cumfor'.ably furnished house, with large yard, in vicinity of Parliament Buildings.Address HOUSEHOLDER, Chronicle Office.Aprils, 1898.\tCp EDITORIAL NOTES.The Soleil has the impudence to speak of \u201cConservative impertinence\u201d in connection with that ridiculous story of Mr.Lauribk\u2019s resignation.How does the Patrie like the Soleil's classification of it as a Conservative newspaper ?Every body knows that the story was the Patrie's and nobody else\u2019s.That is why the local Conservative newspapers took good c ire, in bulletining the report, to place the res ponsibility where it belonged, and at the same time to signify its falsity, which they most effectively did by saying that it was from the Patrie.We have recently read an account of the celebration of St.Patrick\u2019s Day in Halifax, N.S., where the Lsinster Regiment, each min wearing the shamrock, marched to such stirring music as \u201cGarry Owen,\u201d \u201cThe Wearing of the Green,\u201d to St.Patrii k\u2019a Cathedral to attend Divine Service.Now the celebration of a national day, by an English regiment is not altogether new, for we had an instance, in 1841, when the 23rd Regiment on Royal Welsh Fusiliers were stationed in Quebec.This regiment was raised in the Welsh Marches in 1686, and was under fire for the first lime at the battle of the Boyne, 1st July, 1690, and lost its colonel, Herbert, at the battle of Anghrim, on the )2th July, 1691 The officers and sergeants wore a \u201cflish,\u201d\u2014 (a bow of broad silk ribbon, with long ends, to form the queue), sffixed to the back of the collar of the tunic.Very little light can be thrown on this badge, even in official returns.In an inspector\u2019s report of 1786, it is noted that the \u201cofficers of the regiment wear the hair turned up behind.\u201d This method of hav ing the hair faateaed up with a bow or \u201cflash\u201d was then or later, the \u201cGrenadier fashion\u201dof wearing it.It may be that the \u201cBash\u201d was retained in memory of some distinctive method of dressing the hair in use in the regiment in the days of qaeues and hair powder.' Also obscure is the origin of the regimental practice of having a goat, with shields of garlands on its horns, lead at the head of the drums.Donkin, a military writer of the last ceotnry, mentions it as regimental custom over one hundred years ago, and states that at Boston, Mass., before the American war, a poor drummer boy, who, Bacchns-like, was astride the goaf,\u2014a prac tioe from that time discontinued,\u2014was flung upon the mess table and killed by an uodis ciplined goat, when marchiog round the table with the drums, at the ceremony of distribat-iog the leeks on St.David's Day.From the fact of their having the goat, this regiment was nicknamed \u201cThe Nanny Goats.\" On Monday, the 1st March, 1841, the festival of St.David was observed with all the honours by the officers and men of the 23rd Regiment in Quebec.During the day each appeared with a leek in his cap, de oorated with a gold leaf, which, as might be expected, created some surprise, the symbol not being understood by the Canadians in general, few of whom bad probably ever seen it before.In the evening, the officers enUrtainel large party of guests at the mess, among whom were the Commandant of the forcer Sir R.D.Jacksou, Major-General Clitherow commanding the district, with their respec tive snites, the heads of the Military Depart meats and the military officers.After the cloth was removed, the old cere mony of initiation was observed.The Ser géant Major entered with a drummer, who beat the roll.The Colonel, who sat as Pre aident, then asked if there were any officers who had not been initiated, and being answered in the affirmative, an officer, who belonged to the regiment, was named.To him, a leek with some salt was presented which he eat.The ceremony was then re pea ed with others, the Generals themselves being included, and all weut through the same, each submitting to the teat, and taking the same savoury mouthful with a good grace recollecting that \u201cthe leek to the W elsh is dear,' and therefore swallowing the, perhaps to them, unpalatable compliment ao best they could.At length came the turn of a gallant officer who could not overcome his antipathy to the cherished vigotable of the hardy ua lives of the Principality, and he would not submit to touch it.No, \u201cnot for Gadwal l&der and all his goats.\u201d He was excused and here ended the entry of the ieek.The circulation of the glass, however, met with no such interruption.Honour was duly paid to the regular round of the standing toasts of the day, twenty-one in number, all en ling with \u201cand Saint David.\u201d While noticing the day and its badge, the leek, it may be stated that it was at the battle of Poitiers, gained by Edward, the Black Prince, in 1356, that the Welsh gained this distinction.The occasion is thus related by Fluellen, in Shakespeare\u2019s Henry V., who, on the field of Agiccouit, reminds the King of the service which gained his countrymen this distinctive bearing:\u2014Fluelleo.Your grandfather of famous memory, an\u2019t please Your Majesty, and your great uncle Edward, the Plack Prince of Wales, as I have read in the chronicles, fought a most prave patlle here in France.King Henry\u2014They did, Fluellen.Fluellen\u2014Your Majesty says very true ; if Your Majesties is remembered of it, the Welshmen did goot service in a garden where leeks did grow, wearing leeks in their Monmouth caps ; which Your Majesty knows to this hour is an honorable padge of the service ; and I do believe Your Majesty takes no scorn to waer the leek upon Saint Tavy\u2019s day.King Henry\u2014I wear it for a memorable honour, for I am Welsh, you know, good countrymen.James M.O\u2019Leary.Ottawa, 5th April, 1898.A recent regrettable incident in the British navy, involving the punishment of an Irishman by his commanding officer for wearing the shamrock on St.Patrick\u2019s Dayt has called forth a very interesting and ap-propriate contribution, which we print elsewhere to-day, from our former fellow-citizen, Mr.J.M.O\u2019Leary, now of Ottawa, showing how a Welsh Regiment celebrated St.David\u2019s Day in Quebec on one occasion without any question being asked or punishment inflicted.Under the circumstances, and especially in view of the fact that the Leinster Regiment, actually in garrison at Halifax, celebrated the 17th ult.in the most public and enthusiastic national style with the consent and even with the participation of their commanding officer, it is somewhat difficult to understand why an Irishman in the navy should be punished for remembering his nationality and honoring it on St.Patrick\u2019s Day.But little interest attached to the Budget Speech delivered the night before last by the Hon.Mr.Fielding.The details of public revenue and expenditure are always more or loss interesting to tax-payers, but the chief features of these had been published some time prior to the delivery of the Speech.The tariff changes were almost nil.They apply only to sugar and tobacco.In regard to sugar, local dealers believe that prices will be but little affected by Mr.Fielding's changes.The schedule is, however, somewhat complicated by the introduction of the polanscope test.The general effect on the trade is likely to bo a slight reduction in the amount of the duty on British refined sugar equal to, if not greater than, the amount of the reduction on the raw article from other than preferential tariff countries.The tobacco duties are changed, so that foreign leaf is admitted free, the loss in revenue being made up for by a change in the excise duties.Delay means everything in the interest of peace.Angry passions are given time to subside, and men are apt to reflect upon the horrors of war.President McKinley has a largo proportion of the best element of the American people with SPECIAL 10 Boxes of BLACK NATURAL TIPS, worth 40c.for.75c.14c.35c SILK POPPIES, Novel Sbade«, per Bunch of Three.Large Assortment of FANCY RIBBON, 3 and 4 inches wide, worth 290.for.i All the Latest STRIPED and PLAID RIBB JNS for Hats and Dress Trimmings, worth 50c.for.ONE PRICE ONLY.\t_____________ TELEPHONE 2157.Simard & Cie., 137 St.Joseph St., St.Roch\u2019s, Quebec, April 2.1898.SX\u2019Hld-A.Xj Klondike Supplies !
