acknowledged haring reeetred the $10,000 from Mr.Whelan and said : *;There was a judgment by an arbitrator in Mr.Whelan\u2019s favor and against the Government for a sum of over $100,000 balance dne him on the Quebec Court House contract.As this Judgment had been rendered as fer back aa last July Mr.Whelan wee very anxicoa to be paid and begged mo to use my influence to prevent any further delay in the settlement of hie claim.This was in the early part of last session.I told him that I was afraid that the Opposition would create a big row, because it waa to my knowledge that they were complaining very bitterly of him ; in the firet plane, because he bad put an in possession of what I thought wore very ocmpromising documents as far as thoy were concerned ; and, soeondly, because be had not paid them the amount which he had pledged himself to furnish them with daring the elections ol 1886.They were consequently threatening to prolong the aeaaion for another month if the item in the budget in bis favor waa pressed and I suggested to him, in hia own intereat, the propriety of himiell settling with the Opposition beoanse 1 waa afraid that if tbeGorernment found themselves hurried in sneh a way they might allow the item to stand over until next session.I repeated the same anggeation that very day to Mr.Whelan\u2019s lawyer, Mr.Prefontaine, but nothing more waa said on the subject that day and I left for Quebec.\u201d \"TO ARRANGE WITH Till OrfOSITIOM.\u201d Mr.Paeand then w?nt on to allege that oa his return to Montreal Mr.Whelan begged him to undertake to \" arrange with the Opposition,\" and, further, so Mr.Paeand alleges, he (Mr.Pacaud) suggested that $10,000 would \" arrange\" matter* ; whereupon Mr.Whelan went to the bank, drew $10,000, and handed it to Mr.Pacaud.Mr.Paoaud denied that any of the money went to the Ministerial party, but afao generously refined to tall who it did go to, except that it went to \u201c Square Mr, Whelan\u2019s accounts.\u201d u Then, Mr.Pacaud,\" said the interviewer, \" if yon decline to gire the names of the recipients of the money how do you hope to substantiate your declaration ?\u201d \u201c The dreumataaoea fully corroborate it All opposition to the Item ceased from the very moment the money waa paid, and if yon «rill refer to the official votes and proceediuga uf the House, you will notion that the questions put on the paper in this connection were allowed to stand from day to day until dropped, and that the item finally paaaed through committee and the House without a vote being asked for.In fact, the arrangement under which the money was paid waa faithfully carried ont.\u201d In oonelnsion, Mr.Paeand slated that ba would not have acted as a go between for Mr.Whelan bad there been an* doubt about the legitimacy of hia claim.On that head there could be no dispute.There was a judgment against the Government, and he (Mr.Paeand), therefore, saw no wrong in helping to remove the obstacles in Mr.Whelan's way towards a settlement, espeeially aa in doing so bo was also helping to ahorten a session which the Opposition wore threatening to needlessly prolong on account of this very item.CANADIAN.THE (2UKEN CITY.(Speeuii to (Ac Witnen.)

meeting, gives an account of the work of Ibis charity, *ome extract* from which ¦hould prove very intereating to our readers.The institution, begun on a very small scale eleven v«nre ago.under the auspices of the Young Women\u2019* Christian Association, hae extended its ueefnlnene in a manner moat gratifying to those workers who have been actively engaged in it from the beginning.Then, the cooking, dispensing, etc , were personally attended to by the committee.Now, the work has assumed tuch proportion* that three persons, namely, visiting nurse, manager and assistant are constantly employed.The Diet Dispensary supplice nourishing food to tha in- a valid poor and to convaleacenta discharged from ' hospital* who may preeent order* eigned by clenry, doc tor* or city miaaionariea.The only qualification necessary is that the applicant be poor and suffering.It ia a Protestant charity, unaectarian, and supported entirely by voluntary enbscription.The nurae viait* the applicant* in their own home*, and render* all tha aid that experience and kind-hearted judgment can suggest.Her visits during the year number 2,240, giving an average of over 43 eaoh week, with extra work, such aa Sunday and all night nursing besides.\t.\t.The applicationa received and filled ar* 7,3i>7.Oi these 5,339 are free, 1 438 full and 90 half price, and the article* diepenaed include 2,J84 pints milk ; 4,181 pint* beef tea, 872$ pint* calf* foot and other jelly, 073 chicken broth, 266 pint» Irish moss, 513 light K- - ng*.33 j dozen fresh egg*, beside* \u2022west p, vMÜ« halves of chicken, steak, frcita fruit, eta.to tempt the esprioious appetite in cases of long continued illness.It will be seen that to maintain a charity of thia kind require# a larg# and continuous outlay.The monthly expenses average over f rZo, leaving no margin for contingencies.The summer season is apjiroaching, when contribn-tiens are practically nil, and the treasurer report# a balance absurdly small for the work of the next four months.Most earnestly we beg our friend* and tho public to eoniider the claim* of this charity on their benevolence.Above all we would urge the generous to pledge themselves to an annual subscription, large or small.The committee would then be able, to some extent, to depend on an assured income, and have 1pm anxiety in carrying on its work.\t.Any contributions will be received gratefully a Miss Gould, treasurer, 963 Dorchester street, ontreal, or at the Diet Dispensary, bisement American Presbyterian Church.Isabel Maophebson, Secretary.Signed on behsdf cf

through their final atagea by general conaent.Mr.MoOarthy waa abaent, ao Got < I'Brirn aaked the queationa of which Mr.McCarthy had given notice whether any petition* or remonatrance* have been preeented aaking for the diaallowance of the act of the Legialature of Manitoba reepecting PUBLIC SCHOOLS AMD ABOLISHING THB DCAL LAHaCAOBS, or, if any anch have been preaented, by whom ?Uaa any action been taken by the Government reapecting the aaid acta ?Doea the Government propose to bring down aueh petition* or remonatrance ?In reply Sir John Macdonald said a petition bad been presented by despatch from the Lieutenant-Governor of Manitoba con veyirg tbe remonatrance of tbe School Board ; also Ircm tbe Rev.Mr.Bernier, on behalf of the Separate School Board, and Mr.I\u2019rendergast,

he had heard that tbe question of the Atlantic fisheries, under negotiations at Washington, had been practically settled three weeka ago, and thought that the claim of the Americans to Behring Sea aa a closed *ea should be abandoned and the rights of the seal fishermen of dilferent countries practically settled, lie aaked for each information as tbe Government felt could be properly given on this aubjeot.The reply waa characteristic of the Premier.He waa nst in a position, he said, to anewer the questions fully.Tbe negotiations, ao far aa the Government knew, had been going on very smoothly, and be hoped for happy results.He hoped to be able to make a fuller statement of the caaeon Fiiday.THE tCOBEEVT SCANDAL.Mr.Laurier reminded Sir Hector Langavin of his promise to give paper* and

experience with the Temperance Ooloni/.aticn Company and charging the directors with misrepresenting and tbe Rev, Dr.Hunter with having obtained atack of the company from him in exchange for land which afterwards turned out to be almost worthless.Dr.Landerkin asked whether any inquiry had been made on this subject and what information the Government were ready to give about it.The letter indicated that barefaced and heartless rascality had been perpetrated and tbe matter should be investigated if investigation bad not already taken place.The Minuter of tbe Interior, Mr.Dewdnsy, was unable to speak definitely on tbe snbject, not having been notified that it would be brought up, but he promised to give whatever information could be collected on Friday.Mr.Wallace said that hardship seemed to have been caused in acme oases, and expressed the hope that the facts would be made known.In reply to a question Mr.Dewdney stated that there were three colonization companies still survirsoK, the Temperance, Reed Deer and York, a remarkable showing to those who remember how in 188\u2018J every second man one met was president or secretary of one of these companies.\"What proportion of tbe ten million estimated by the Government to be received from these companies will be probably realized,\" asked Mr.Blake.M I Lave not tbe estimate at my finger euls,\" replied Mr.Dewdney solemnly, but as he sat down even he, deficient in humor as he is, could not but smile at the absurdity of the estimate made during the time, or the egregious failure in realizing it.the tariff.A verbal change waa made in the tariff.It takes as mucn going into Committee, reporting, etc., to change a comma in the tariff as it would to reorganize the whole affair upon a reasonable basis, and then the House devoted some time to the business, principally formal, of concurring in the votes of tbe Committee of Supply.Con-cumnce was completed before five o'clock, and tbe Supply bill introduced and read three times and parsed in as many minâtes.Sir Richard Caitwright remarked, \"I suppose we can go now : this is generally the last act in the drama.'> A LITTLE FUN.No reply was ma'fe to this piece of pleasantry, and the Hou» passed on to the concluding stages of the railway subsidies under the influence of impending prorogation, Mr.Speaker had hia joke and pat the motions in French only, Mr.Clark Wallace took a wa» on the Opposition benches, and at times applauded the remarks of Sit Richard Cartwright.In reply to an enquiry uy Sir Richard Cartwright, Sir John Macdonald stated that there seemed to be something in the charge* of fraud in tbe pay sheets on the Carillon canal, and an otlicar of the Department would be sent down to investigate.In reply tc another quea ion Rom the same source, Sir John stated that step* would be taken to ascertain whether a basis of cooperation could be reached with the Manitoba GoverLment in matters of immigration.THE BAILWAY BCBSIDIBB BILL was put through its final stages and the Railway Land Grants Bill was brought np.Sir Richard Cartwright entered a final protest against the policy of thn* locking up such large quantities of land as oertain to retard settlement.Mr.Charlton joined his protest to that of Sir Richard and considered that if the Gbv eminent considered it necessary to thus hand over the heritage of the people to monopolies they should at least have fixed e maximum prioe at which eettlers could buy the lands they required.THE FOLLOWING BILLS were withdrawn To anthorize the transfer of certain public property to the Provincial an-fehoritiea ; to amend the Territories real property act, and to amend the North West Territories act.A HOLIDAY The bill respecting interest was passed through ita

through tbe various depart meut* by Prof.Saupdere and membert of the etaff, who wore all most obliging and attentive.The farm has made rapid progress within the last twelve months and the public appreciation of ita advantage ia shown by the receipt of as many as three hundred letters a day.Up to to day over sixteen tons of samples of grain have been cent out to farmers.This is four time* the quantity called for laat year.Tbe seed test tog department ia in full working order.Here farmer* can send their seede and in a few days receive a report of ita fertility or worthlessnesses tbe case may be, and all this without charge.Many abortive crop# would be avoided if the seed was teeted before seeding time and if found worthless replaced by new seed.All tbe departments are actively working under the efficient direction of the various heads.The stock and horses were in splendid condition.At a luncheon served to tbe visitors, Mr.Carling presided, and received many compliments for the administration o' 'his branch of hia department.Two Scottish visitors, Messrs.Clement and Dunlop, of Glasgow, happened to be present, and the former said Scotland had much to learn from Canada, and had actually obtained from Canada two instructors in dairying, one a brother of Prof.Robertson.The minister stated that tbe various branch farms were now ia excellent workiug order, and great things were expected.Ttie farmers should give some attention to tbe advantages offered by those farms.DOCTORS\u2019 BILLS.Judge Jette yeaterday gave his decision in the case of Dr.A zaire Brodeur and Mr.Alexander Bourgeois.The latter met with an accident some time ago, injuring his oollor bone.The doctor for his services charged $200.Bourgeois thought $100 waa sufficient, hence the action.His Honor\u2019s judgment was that there was no fixed tariff for a physician's fees, and when he handed in a bill his word must b« taken for the correctness of his account, unless there were direct proof against it.It was finally decided between tha two parties that $175 would be paid to Dr.Brodenr, and the Court then condemned Sir.Bourgeois to pay that amount only, with coats.COUL3UN AND STAFFORD.Mr.Justice Tait yesterday rendered judgment in the suits of Mr.Frank Stafford against Mr.Samuel Conlson, and of the latter against the firm of Stafford and R.Conlson.Tne liquidators of the latter firm were awarded $283 out of $17.000 which Mr.Stafford claimed Mr.S.Conlson had withdrawn from the firm of which he whs tbe real partner, whilst his brother was only a prrlc now.The court held that it could not go behind the partnerohip deed, according to which Mr.K.B.Goulmn was Mr.Stafford\u2019s partner, and allowed Mr.S.Conlson $2.000 salary annually for his services for a little over six year*, lie had, however, already drawn $12,450, leaving a balance of $283.COTE VISITATION\u2019S REQUEST.The town council of Cote Visitation, whose municipal boundary toachos that of the city at
