Panama Scandal This Time\u2014Defcated on an Ameudment to the Liquor Law, Which Was Opposed by the Government\u2014 Resignation Decided Upon, Paris, March 30.\u2014Another crisis has ar- givod, but not on the l\u2019anama issue.The Chamber of deputies to-day by a vote o 247 to 242 decided to retain the liquor law amendment as a part of the budget, although the Government expressed itself as firmly opposed to the amendment, which increases the burdons ot the liquor trade.Upon the vote of the Chamber being announced, Premier Ribot adjourned the session until 9 o'clock this evening in order to give him and his fellow ministers time to consider their position, and whether they should regard the vote of the Chamber as a slgn of want of confidence in the ministry.After a somewbat lengthy consultation in a committee room the ministers proceeded tothe Elysee and tendered thelr resignations to President Carnot.The president bad a long interview with the members of the cabinet and urged them to reconsider their determination.His arguments Were in vain, however, and the ministers insisted that their resigrations must be accepted.Jt, is rumored that M.Develle, Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Kibot Cabinet, will be askad by President Carnot to Iorm a new Ministry.At 9.15 o'clock this evening the deputies reassembled.All the outward signs of a Cabinet crisis wereapparent inthe crowded galleries and among the animated groups on the floor of the chamber.When M.Casstmir-Perler took the chair all the ministerial places were vacant, but a moment later M.Tirard, minister of finance, entered alone.He announced in a few words that the cabinet had resigned, put had been charged by President Carnot to carry on the affairs of state for a short period.: He would, therefore, ask the chamber for a vote on account to cover the next two inonths.The chamber referred his request to the Budget committee and then adjourned.During the recess of 25 minutes the deputies remalnéd in the corridots and lobbies, and eagerly discussed the situation.At 10 o\u2019clock, the hour set for reassembling, not a chair in the whole House was vacant.'l'he disorder which the president had been unable to quiet was hushed the moment M.Lockroy stepped to the tribune to announce the decision of the Budget Committee.In a few words be stated that the committee felt it inexpedient to grant the request made by M.Tirard for two months\u2019 supplies, but would recommend a vote covering one month from the prssent time.Shouts of approval greeted this statement.The brief discussion which followed was one-sided.as the difference of opinion in the chamber practically concerned only the question whether supplies should be voted for oue moath or not at ail.Eventually the report of the committee was adopted by a vote of 504 to 5, and the chamber adjourned until Tuesday.ae \u2018 FAIR RAILWAY RATES AN AGREEMENT ARRIVED AT WHICH IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE CARRIED OUT.New York, March 30.\u2014The railroads between New York and Chicago yesterday reached a \u201ctwo-thirds\u201d agreement on World\u2019s Fair rates, but there was a dis- tinet lack of harmony, and after the meeting was over nobody seemed to think anything more than a temporary truce had been gained.The Grand Trunk was represented and assented to every resolution, but the Grand Trunk may destroy the efficiency of the entire programme and bring on a war of rates when the railroads get all the passengers they can carry at established rates.The Grand Trunk has given notice that it will put into effect on April 15 a fare of one and one-third for the round trip from all points reached by it.This means, of course, many points affected by other roads in Trunk territory.Where the association authorizes one-fifth off, it Intends to take one-third off.Here is the first result.The Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg raliroad is qnietly preparing to meet the Grand Trunk with a ike rate and the rate will be good over any route that the Rome road uses 1n reaching Chicago\u2014the New York Central Empire State express trains for example.The Rome road is now getting its tickets printed with the expectation of a Lig rush of ' business Lecause of its proposed facilities.The reduced rates may be announced any day unless the company is forestalled.The Rome road, like the West Shore, undertakes these \u201cside affairs,\u2019 as it it were entirely ignorant of the fact that it isa leased concern.TROUBLED SOUTII AMERICA.«ONFLICT BETWEEN BRAZIL AND PARe \\_ AGUAY INEVITABLE\u2014FIGHTING tv \u201c.N IN

pus oo BEHRING SEA CASLS.- SN GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES SUBMIT THEIR SIDES TO THFIR PARLIAMENTS.~ Washington, March 30.\u2014The cases and counter cases of the United States and Great Britain under the treaty to arbitrate the Behring Sea difficulties between tho two countries were simultaneously sent to the United States Senate to-day and also mado public by transmission to the House of Parllament in London.They comprised altogether fourteen volumes of printed matter.The summary of the claims mado tor the United States 1s as follows: That prior and up to the time of the cession of Alaska to the United =tates, Russia asserted and exercised an exclusive right to the seal lisher.es in the waters of Behring Sen and also asserted and exercised throughout that sea the right to prevent, by the employment when necessary of reasonable force, any invasion of such exclusive rizhts.That Great Britain not havin; at any timo resisted or objected to such assertions of exclusive rights or the exercise of such power is to be deemed as having recognized and assented to the same.That all the rights of Russia in respect to the seal fisheries in Belring sea east of the water boundary established by the treaty of March 30, 1867, belween that nation and the United States, and all the power andauthority possessed and asserted by Russia to protect said rights, passed \u2018unimpaired to the United States under that treaty.That the United States have such a property and interest in the Alaska seal herd us to justily the employment by that nation upon the high seas of such means as aro reasonably necessary to prevent the destruction of such herd and to secure the ossession and benefit vf the same to the nited States, GREAT BRITAIN'S CASE, The case for Great Britain as set forth by sir Charles Tupper, the British agent, was as follows: That Behring Ses, as to which the question arises, is an open sea in which ail the nations of the world have the right to navigate and fish, and that the rights of navigation and fishinæ cannot be taken away or restricted by the mere declaration or claim ot any one or more nations, That uo mere non-use or absence of exercise has any effect upon nor can it in any way impair or limit such rizhts ot nations in the open seas.That in 1821 when Russia did attempt by ukase, |, e.by formal declaration, to close to other nations the waters of a great part of the Pacific Ccean, (Including Behring Sea, Great Britain and the United States al once protested against any such attempted interference, That in the years 1824-5, in consequence of these protests, Russia unconditionally withdrew her pretensions and concluded treaties with Great Britain and the United States, which recognized the rights come mon Lo the subjects of those countries to navigate aud fish in the non-territorial waters of the seas over which Russia had attempted to assert such protensions That in the purchase and acquisition of Alaska by the United States in the year of 1867, the United States were iully aware and recognized that the rizhts of other nations to navigate and fish in the non- territorial waters adjacent to their newly acquired territory existed in their fuil natural state, unimpaired and unlimited by any treaty or bargain whatever, That frora the year 1867 down to the year 1886 the Urited States did not attempt to restrict or interfere with the rights of the natives to navigate and fish in the non-territorial waters of Behring Sea or other parts of the Pacific Ocean.That under changed conditions of territorial ownership, and in view of certain new circumstances which had arisen in consequence of the growth ot the industry of pelagic sealing in non- territorial waters, the United States reverted in the first instance to certain claims based upou those of the Russian ukase of 1821, Lut In chw course of the discussions which have arisen these exceptional claims to the control of non-terri- torial waters were dropped.and in their place various unprecedented and indefinite claims have been put forward which appear to be based upon an alieged property in fur seals as such.Finally, that while Great Britain has from ibe first strenuously and counsistent- ly opposed all the foregoing exceptional pretensions and claims she has throughout been favorably disposed to the adoption of general measures of control of the fur seal tishery should these bo found to be necessary or desirable with a view to the protection of the fur seals, provided that such measures be equitable, and framed on just grounds of common interest, and that the adhesion of other powers be secured as a guarantee of their continued and impartial execution.Both parties file clalms for damages, the United States for losses to its re venue.and ob account of the losses to the Alaskan Commercial Company and abuse of the reduced number of skins taken owing to tho diminution of the herd by the pelagic sealing of British vessels and Great Britain on account of losses to the owners of the vessels seized by the United States.BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE REPRESENTATIVES OF QUEBEC AND ONTARIO MEET AT WOODSTOCK,

Woodbridge, that the comptroller of customs was still a member of the firm of Wallace Brothers.Although there was no law on the subject, it was contrary to good government that an officer of the Customs Department should be an importer.The comptroller promised to sever his connection with the firm, although they had no business with the department, a they were not importers.\u201cih SEVERAL

action in reference tothe petition from Manitoba for the passage of a prohibitory liquor law, and that no action would be taken until the prohibition commission had reported.The bills to amend the Civil Service Insurance Act and the Dominion Lands Act were then read a third time and passed.WITNESSES AND EVIDENCE BILL.When the Senate\u2019s amendments to the bill respecting witnesses and evidence were considered, Mr.Davin moved the six months\u2019 hoist.The motion was deleated by 87 to 40, the minority including Sir Hector Langevin and Messrs.McCarthy, O'Brien, McNeill and Davin.Mr.Mulock secured the elimination of the amendment providing tor the reception of the evidence of husband and wife, on the ground that it was not public policy to cotupel such peor- sons to give evidence of private conversations.RAILWAY SUBSIDIES DISCUSSED.Upon the motion for the second reading of the railway suvsidies bill, Mr.Davies again drew attention to the position of the Nova Scotia Central company, which he claimed was bankrupt, and that the payment of the subsidy should be properly safeguarded, Yand3moved that the Miuister of Justice should decide as to Lhe legal person to whom to pay the subsidy before it was handed over.Mr.Haggart accepted the amendment.Mr.Dupont protested against the subsidy granted to the United Counties Railway Company on the ground that it was extravagant and unnecessary.The roud was easy of construction, and could be built for $5,000 a mile, while the company had received subsidies of 33,200 per mile from the Federal and Provincial Governments, and could thus make a profit on the construction.He concemned the whole railway policy of the Government, and declared that it was most unpopular in his district.The Government should take $40,000 out of this subsiay and give it to the C.P.R.for the needed bridge at Sorel.The bill was put through committee in the afternoon, read a third time and passed.The following bills were then rushed throuzh without much discussion: Respecting tbe appointment of commis sioners to the World\u2019s Columbian exposition.To amend the act respecting the Royal Military College.To amend the General inspection Act.Relating to juvenile ollenders in New Brunswick.OIL IMPORTATION IN BULK.On the bill respecting the inspection of petroleutn, Mr, Flint moved in atnendment that the petroleum may be imported under departmental regulations in tank steamers as well as in tank cars.Mr.Chesley opposed the proposition on behalf of the merchants of St.John, N.B.Mr.Gillies announced that he must aup- port the amendment.He accused the Government ol inconsistency iu proposing Lo discriminate against tank vessels.fio do- scribed the measure as class legislation of the worst kind, and as one of the most iniquitous measures over proposed by the Government.Mr.Wood (Westmoreland) defended the action of the Government io confining the importation in tanks to railwavs.Mr.Laurier pointed out that Mr.Chesley was inconsistent in advocating imporia- tions in tanks by railway, while opposing similar importations by waler.Mr.Moncrief contended that the reform asked for by Mr.Flint would not benefit the consumer in the Maritime Provinces in ihe least, while injuring the vessel ine terests.trolier Wood, that regulations should bo provided by which oil could be stored in tanks at such places as were found neves- sary.The comptroller said that he could not accept the amendment.Mr.Laurier replied that there was no reason in the Government\u2019s arguments.If the importation of oil in tank cars would cheapen oil, surely its importation in tank vussels would also reduce the price of oil.Mr.Muloek cansed much :iur by makin= both Messrs, Unesley and vosiah Wood put tho Interests of the vessel owners and the merchants above the interests of the general consuming public.The amend- Mr.Monet secured a promise from comp- |.ment was Jost on division and the bill was reported.un the motion for the third reading Mr.Flint again moved his amendment, which was lost on division, and the bili was then passed.TWO CENT RAILWAY FARES.When the bill to amend the railway act was up, Mr.Maclean (York! renewed his advocacy ot two cent railway fares, which ho stated would be seriously pressed by him next session.The bill was passed.A LIVELY EPISODE.The evenlug sitting opened with one of the liveliest episodes of the session, which at one time threatened to result in a serious distur.ance.Immediately after dinner, Mr.Lisier rose tn à personai explanation.He complained of an articie aimed at him in the columns of The Toronto Empire, in which he was represented as having said in the debate on Mr.Tarte\u2019s criticisms of the Quebec jndges, that \u201cI'he inferior judges of Ontario had paid for their appointments.\u201d What le had said was that \u2018\u201cnierior judges in Ontario had pald for their appointments.\u201d The wistake was one whieh could have been casiiy rectified by a 1e.erence to Bansard.The judiciary of Ontario were, as a body, entitled to respect, and it would be hard to find anywhere a more high mined and hunorable body of men than in Ontario.But he reasserted under his tull responsibility as a member of the House that certain inferior judges in Ontario had paid for their appointments.\u2018Lhe author ot the article was guilty of a wanton slander, and was a miserable, contemptible coward.MR.TARTE'S PROTEST.Mr, Tarte also rose to a question of privilege, and 1ead the following extract from to-day's Montreal Gazette: \u201c Mr.Tarte\u2019s 1s not the nest record.Judging by sworn statements of those who acted in the matters, he profited out of the proceeds of two of the worst pieces of corruption that ever disgraced Canadian public lite.Notes on which he was responsible, it has been testi- tied, were paid out of the proceeds of the Bale des Chaleurs job, and money obtained from Contractor Whelan as the price of getting his claims for building the Quebec Court House recognized, it nas also been affirmed, was handed to him by the recip- ent.\u201d in earnest and excited language Mr.Tarte protested against this attack.He sald: \u2018*As far as the first point is con- corned what took place was this: after the election of 1891 I put my name on certain notes as I had done for my former pu- litical friends.\u201d (Crles of order.) The Speaker called Mr.Tarte to order, remarking that he was going too far, whereupon Dr.Landerkin moved the adjournment of the House.Thus put in order, Mr, Tarte proceeded to state that the proceeds of those notes went to protest certain elections and to protect the members of bis party.He would do the same thing to-morrow as he had done before.Whether Pacaud paid tho notes did not matter, as the money used was bis (Mr, Tarte\u2019s) money.He had never benelitted ia the slightest degree Irom the Bale des Chaleurs money and the editor of \u2018The Gazette knew it.He was a member of the House and if he had any charge to make he should rise in his place in tue House like à man and make it.THE SECOND CHARGE.was even moro serious, inasmuch as it charged that he was paid money to get Whelan\u2019s claim recognized.Everybody in Quebec knew that he was one of the strongest opponents of Mr.Mercier, and had even been honored by a request to go to Quebec as leider of the Couservative party, because Mr.Taillon did not want to go on with an unequl fight.It was Lrue that, as treasurer of the Conservative party, sums of money came into iiis hands, but be could say, as a former political leader had said, \u2018\u201cMy hands are clean.\u201d He appealed to-day toshis jormer political friends whethor he had ever given away any party secrets.Ho had sufferea because he had chosen to be silent, but there was a time when silence was Ro longer just.He challenged any mem- per to state that ho bad ever received any money from Wnelan.Money came into his hands as he had stated and he was prepared to accept a jury from the other side to examine his accounts, \u2018hat money he had paid cut had been for legitimate political purposes as joint treasurer of the party and the editor of 1be Gazette knew it.The writer was malicious, because knew that not onetcent deremained in his (Mr.Tarte\u2019s) hands and because he knew he (Mr, Tarte) was bound by secrets which an honorable man would never divulge.He (Mr, Larte) gave his word of honor that he had never been financially interested in Whelan, that he never got a cent knowing that it came from hit.He had acted with the full consent and knowledge of the Conservative leaders in Quebec and the money he had expended was given for legitimate purposes.He had cheques and books in his possession of which he WAS RELUCTANT TO SPEAK.He had no desire to give up tha names, but he leit strongly on this question and was compelied to defend himself, \u2018I'he editor of the Gazette had been warned by the leaders on the other side that he (Mr.Tarte) bad acted honorably, but he also knew that he would not give the names unless forced to doso.He was prepared to accept the verdict of any member of tho Goverutnent or of the House.Lie hoped that this statement would put an end to these malicious accusations.They might ditfer, they might change their political allegiance, but he, at least, would never give away the secrets entrusted to him and become a traitor and a coward.Mr.Jeannotte stated that Mir.Tarte had brought the attack upon himself by his attack upon the judges who had no chutce Lo defend themselves.MR.FOSTER\u2019S REPROOF.The Finance Minister endeavored to end the discussion by reminding the Housa\u2019 that if it desired to prorogue by Saturday it must proceed with business, but bis subsequent remarks only added fuelto the flame.He was, he said, sure that they all regretted that at the last hour of the session such statements should be made.The tongue of slander when used against an individual was an instrument which dealt terrible harm and injury.but in such a case a slander could ve punished, and if the stalement was true the people could judge.An attack upon an immense body, such as the judges, was, however, much worse and was to Lis mind even outside the privileges of Parliaizent.In his opinion, Mr.Lister had done neither his duty to himself nor to the bar.1f he had any charges to make against judges he should have impeached them.MK.LISTER'S WARM REPLY.Mr.Lister replied in a very warm manner.He was much obilged to Mr.l\u2019oster tor his attempt at reproof.He had had the honor of à seat in the House for 11 years, and was proud to say that he had performed his duty to his country.He recalled the results ot his efforts before the courts of the Bouse in 189i, and his impeachment of Judge Elliott last year, and added that he had lived to see all; the offenders, except oho, restored to their pinces unwhipped and unpunished for their crimes against the state, They had seen ministers of the Crown accused of great erimes and whitewashed of the most damnable crimes sver charged to public men.The reward of ail his labors was that he was denounced as a slanderer.When he proved lis charges the mechanical majority at the back of the Government whitewashed the offender.He could prove that a judge had paid $2,000 for his place, and that a postmaster had paid $500 for his position.(Cries ot erder and uproar.) The Speaker ruled that Mr.Listeriwas going to far.Unless he was prepared to proceed in the regular constitutional manner he must not charge that a judge had paid $2,000 tor his position.Mr.Lister\u2014I am prepared.However, in deference to your wish, I will withdraw the statement until 1 make the charge.The finunce minister has no right to get up and lecture me.I have dono my duty in unearthing crimes against the state and have scen the House whitewash the offenders and keep them in the highest position.What indueement is there,lbere- fore, for me to proceed ?lf the Finance Minister wants to know the name Î can give it to him, and I believe that the money went to the Conservative fund for the purpose of bribing and corrupting the electors.In conclusion be stated that he knew his duty as well as the Finance Minister and was as responsible, financially and otherwise, as he waa.Lhe article was a wanton attack made by & cowardly rultian.The matter then dropped and Dr.Landerkin withdrew his motion for the adjourniment.The bill to prevent the manufacture and sale of filled or imitation checse, and to provide for the branding of dairy products, ras rough its tinal stages.he ro ending of the bill respect- in« the customs duties, M1.Laurier moved in amendment that tho bill he referred back to committee and amended by reducing and remodelling the duties on lion, Ine amendment was negatived on division, and the bill was passed, after Mr.Foster had promised to consider agus- gestion made by Mr.Mills that the words \u201ctwine of hemp\u2019 should be substituted for \u201cpinder twine\u201d in the ac : Mr.Mills strongly opposed the bill re- gpecting the Speaker of the Senate upon the ground that it was unconstitutional.The Government should have applied to the Imperial Parliament if it had desired to enact that a member of the Senate may discharge the duties of Speaker during his temporary absence.The proper way to do this would be by an address to the Imperial Parliament, which alone had power to amend the B.N.A.act, which this bill seu to change.Pr Weldon argued that the measure was pertectly constitutionai, and Sir Richard Cartwright moved the adjournment of the debate, which was agreed to.; The bill to amend the act respecting the Senate and House of Commons was passed and was followed by the blll relating to ocean steamship subsidies, which sceks to givo the Government the power to pay the sum of $25.000 for n monthly service between Canada and Australla.\u2018The bill was leased.+ Alr.Davin\u2019s bill to amend the Homestead exemption act was taken up as a Government ineasure and put through.Concurrence in the estimates was begun at 10,25, in a very small house ard made good progress.On the motion for the adjournment, Mr.Laurier asked the leader of the House if he had anything to state in reference to the French treaty.: Mr.Foster replied in the aflirmative.He had a few words to say in reference to the treaty.The House would remember his statement 1n explaining the treaty a fortnight ago.He then stated that owing to doubts on certain points which he mentioned it was not proposed to ask the ratification ot the treaty.Since then communications had been had with the British Government and the High Commissioner in reference to certain clauses, and they had progressed , @ certain extent.They had elicited the meaning of two of the clauses of which he was in doubt.These were those which related to iresh fish and lobsters, preserved In their natural state.lt was thought that they included fish only in their natural state, but it had been expected that they covered canned fish and canned lobsters.The reference to soaps was not so clear.Lhe clause as 1t stood, seemed to give entry to common soap of all kinds, though the paper said that Castile soap was what was negotiated for.Mr.dt'oster thought it regrettable that immediately upon his statement to the House information had been cabled to Europe that he bad positively said that the government would uot ask the ratification of the treaty.Upon that errou- eous information certain comments, which were of course incorrect, were made, Iv was stated that the action of the Canadian government had caused umbrage at Lon- dou and Paris.Lie was very happy to state that so far as that was concerned it had no :oundation.After all proper explanation of what he had said, he was justified in stating that nelther in Paris, nor London was thero any feeling of thet kind.Parliament would not be asked to ratify the ireaty this year.One of the chief points which the Government had to consider was the reference to the most favored nation clause.Whutever the understanding had been, it was perfectly true that by its telegram of Jan.19, the other clauses wore assented to and that the Government TAR responsible for them, but the extension of the most favored nation clause was not contemplated and was not included in the Instructions and was entirely beyond the will of the Government.He did pot think that any discourtesy bad been shown by this Government to France under the explained conditions, as no discour- tosy was iutended.Mr.Laurier replied that the Finance Minister shouid not be surprised if his statement of a fortnight since had convev- ed the impression that the treaty would not he ratitied.His language this evening fully justified that impression.lor bis part he was at a loss to understand the motives which had induced bad feelings to spring up between the Government and their ambassador, the High Commissioner.The Government pretended that their views had not been 1tully represent- ted to the High Commissiouer, while he asserts that except in oue point he had carried out its instructions.Whatever the causes of the difference between the Gove ernment and its ambassador he did not think that the Government should submit to be rebuked and lectured by its ambassa« dor in such a manner.It was unprecedented in the history of nations that an ambassador should, as Sir Charles Tupper was reported, declare chat the Government must either ratily or resign.It was true that there was no official correspondence on the subject, but he was not aware tbat the Government had inquired if Sir Charles Tupper\u2019s language was true, It was the Government's duty under such circumstances to enquire Ly cable whether he had used such lauguage, He would not, however, inter.ere in the family quarrel.[i the Government had the dignity which belongs to a Government, 1t should not tolerate such language, but thoy could decide that question between themselves, For himgeill he had no sympathy with the merits of the treaty, but supposed that since it was left in abeyance that its ratification was deferred to the future, Mr.Foster nodded in the atfitmative.Mr.Laurier, continuing, said that the treaty was very unsatisfactory, but since the Government had accepted iL he thought it was their duty to ratify it.Mr.Foster said that he was not aware of any exhibition of bad feeling between the Government and Sir Charles Tupper.There was certainly none on the part of to the Government.ide thought that soma enterprislug and ambitious reporter had largely extended and padded the language used._ Mr.Mills\u2014It might bo in this case that it is an ambitious ambassador whois somewhat disappointed, Sir Ricbard Cartwright said he thought the Governtuent would best have considered its dignity if it had enquired by cable whether Sir Charles had used the language imputed to him._ Mr, Fosler\u2014=8Slow haste is the best haste in this case.The House adjourned at 12,10 a.m.until 11 a.m.Saturday morning.TO-DAY'S WEATHER.NORTBERLY WINDS, FAIR WEATHER, NOT MUCH CHANGE IN

But Thousands of Dollars Worth of Valuab! e Stock and Property | was Destroyed in Quick Time \u2014-The » Fire Started in James McDougall and Co's.Building.Stout walls on either side of a burning building saved a disastrous fire between 1 and 2 o'clock this morning.While a policeman was patrolling on St.Helen street he noticed flames on the third floor of the building occupied by James McDougall & Co.and several other firms.The alarm was at once given, but by the time the first section of the brigade arrived it was seen that assistance was needed, and that, too, at as early a moment as possible, as the blaze bad spread to an alarming extent.The top flat was in flames In almost the time it takes to Write the fact and ere the arrival of help called by a secoud and then à third alarm the bottom flats Wero in a blaze.In the ceniro of the building was the elevator and through this the flames ran up and down so quickly thatit was absolutely Impossible to save a portion ot the big building.Chief Benoit was early on the scene and directed his men well, but judging from the way in which the ladders and steamers were handled it was evident that a vast improvement is necessary in this portion ot the aparatus betore the fires of Montreal can be successfully combated.The firms who were burned out are as follows: , James McDougall and Co, tailors\u2019 trims mings.) James H.Wardlow, foreign and Canadian leathers.i Minto, Lavigne and Co.nen The building on the river +.of the big fire was occupied by : Thomas Samuel and Son, agents for Harber\u2019s thread, of which they carried a large stock.Angus and Langan, wholesale leather.Baker, Taylor and Haskett, buttons and fancy dry goods.Ross and Forster, dry goods importers W.E.Ross & Co, dry æoods.; No.12 St.Helen street was occupied by 8.C.Coulson, wholesale dry goods and fancy gooes.The 10sses are very hard to determine at the hour of writing, not one member of any of the firms interested being at the scene of tbo conflagration.1t is safe, however, to place it at at least $75,000, though several who should know state that it will be much heavier.lhe McDougall and Wardlow firms lose everything; the building, which they occupied, being as completely destroyed as that which The Herald occupied until last Monday evening.The firms in the adjoining premises will lose very heavily, through smoke and water, particularly the former.Mr.Coulson\u2019s loss must be large as dense volumes of smoke found their way through avery portion of his valuable sock of velvets, silks and dry goods.The fire burned itself out within an bouz from the time it started, but the brigade can be congratulated on preventing 1 spread.A SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITY.GOVERNMENT BUSINESS TO HAVE PRECEDENCE INTHEBRITISH HOUSE.94° Liodon, March 30,\u2014In the House of Commons, this evening, Mr.Gladstone wade a motion that after Easter the Government business have precedence.Mr.Balfour, Leader of the Opposition, said that the motion was calculated to deprive private members of their rights and would be resistee by the Opposition.lt was unprecedented for the Government Lo claim so so early in the session the whole time of the House and there was nothing so extraordinary in the present situation to warrant such a proceeding.Mr.Goschen, chancellor of the exchequer in the lest Salisbury cabinet, suggested that Mr.Gladstone's motion be narrowed so as to give precedence to the Governe ment's Irish business.Sir Wm.Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, replied that the Government could not listen to such a proposal.The motion as made was the Jast the Government would aczept.Wm.L.Jackson.chief secretary for Ire land ia the last cabinet, said that the æov- ernment apparently was inaugurvting a arliamentary policy of compulsion.The rime Minister instead of leading the House plainly was trying to drive it The governtnont had been unable to give one æood reason for «urtailinæ tho rights of private members as was proposed In the motion, He would there/ere move an améndment that the motion be !.mited to the period between Easter and Whitsun- tide.After this ameudment bad been rejected by a vote of 172 to 83, other amendments were proposed and discussed at length until the Government moved and carried the closure.The vote on Mr, Gladstone.s motion was 163 to 75.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014

confusion by the la'e fire y occupied COUNTRY ROADS, sere are two classes especially interested \\n country roads : flrst the rural population living on the roads and second the people who use the roads for driving for pleasure or business.Of these latter, livery stable keepers, village peopie and summer boarders are the chief, and it is from these that the great outery about our roads has arisen.They are interested in having good roads; they have the capacity and inclination to call out for what they want, and if Increased expenditure is to be laid out to improve our roads under the present municipal organization, these peonle will not bave to foot the biil Qur country roads are maintained by a statute labor tax assessed on property owners ace cording to the valuation of real estate.\u2018The owners of the real estate have to bear the whole burden of our rural municipal expenditure, the roati making and mending included.1f, therefore, any improvement in our roads is to be brought about it can only ba by impressing on the real estate owners that it is their pecuniary interest to doit.If the other partles interested really mean business in their outery let them propose some arrangement by which they can share in the cost of the improvements they are asking for.There is no doubt that road improvement is needed, and that it is well worth the while of the property owners in our country municipalities to take up the question and act energetically upon it.inthe first opening up of the country, the people being poor and much engrossed in clearing their own land any make-shift of a road was, all they could possibly manage, and frequently it was only through assistance from the goverament that roads were made.An exan:ination of the Public Accounts now would show that even in comparatively old sections of the province grants have been made within the last five years to local roads.Ostensibly this is dono for *\u2018colonization purposes,\u201d but in many cases the lands on the roads have been in private hands lor many years, and the country all around has been opened up and surveyed long ago.These grants are in fact political favors, which have been made use of only too often by our political parties without any justification in public policy, The property-owners in many of our counties now, however, are in a good financial position, and can afford to make better cars and would reap a good profit from suct au improvement themselves.This venclit would come from the better facility for their own teaming and driving for business and pleasure.Their horses, vehicles and harnesses would last longer.They could draw heavier loads with the same teal, and the expense of energy and wear and tear and time employed in taking the produce to market either to the local town or to the railway station, and in drawing back those things they have to buy, would be much lessened.This alone would give a direct money return at once.Then the property in a municipality where the roads aregood would be made more valuable.Any one desiring to purchase a farm or a country residence is very much influenced by the condition and quality of the roads in the neighborhood.A hundred acres of land in a section of country where there are gond gravel roads, on which people can drive comfortably in spring and fall, and over which the teaming can be done easily and well at all times, is worth full twenty- five per cent more than the same sized farm on a muddy road in a township where no attention is paid to the highways.Another thing, which in many sections is well worth consideration, is the advantage of having people come as summer residents, or even as permanent citizens, though doing business in city or town.Such people generally spend a good deal of money in their neighborhood; they attract others and make a society in the place which is advantageous to the original population, No one thing attracts them more than the presence of good roads.They generally want to drive and ride about and walk a good deal, and the condition of the county roads controls absolutely all their enjoyment in these ways.Thus property is sought after and bigger prices paid for it where the roads are good han elsewhere.; Tho rural taxpayer Is generally quite ready to admit the advantage of good roads, but he does not wish to pay the price, and very often does not know how they can be improved.After all, the expenditure necessary is not so very great if laid out with knowl- eage and gradually.The present plan of working out the tax by day labor must, however, be done away with and contract work substituted.Roadmaking Isa science or art or specialty just as much as bridge building or house building, and to do it well, economicaily and eubstantially we must have men who have studied it and given their mind and their time to the work, It is also a work which requires special tools and implements, which the ordinary contributor of statute labor hasn't got and would not know how to use if he had them.A competent road inspector employed by the year, witha ganz of men accustomed to the work, equipped with road scrapers and grading dump carts, a stone crusher, and a steam roller could do the work in a municipality {ar more efficiently, with far better results and with no greater cost than is now represented on the road bills of the municipality.Several years, say five, of such work would put the roads into such good condition and so much better form for lasting that the taxation could be lowered without doubt.The only change required to bring this about is the willingness on the part of the people to pay the road tax in money.Such contraets could only bo paid for with money, though an arrangement might be made that where- ever possible taxpayers should have the first chances of employment at the usual market rates of labor, ete.The present system of each taxpayer doing his share of the work in as slip-shod and inefficient, manner as possible is the most absurd thing imaginable.for really the work ig t v heir o shirks is sim wn, and the man that | Ply wasting his own time and fading his own work.These very men chan © the first to reap the benetit of the pose The farmbrs, too, really have thay y © do at home without working on profs (ds, and they would reap a secoud and vou the better tillage of their crops \u201c18 various little 1mprovoements they mould have time to make if they were not called away from home to work on tho highway, The amount of money each Would have to Pay would be small, though the aggregate of the tax would accomplish & great reform all over the country.Let us bops some enterprising municipality wiil lead the reform.THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR AND MR.LAURIER.There is a king ot journalism, the mere contemplation of which humiliates every self-respecting member of the crait, We ire surpriced, however, that the Hamilton Spectator, which does not usually depart in its political discussion from the rules of good breeding, should Le guilty of a particularly contemptible bit of dirty journal- sm.For some time it has been engaged in belittling Mr, Laurier, questioning his ability, and the loyalty ot his followers, and discussing the probabilities of his retention of his present ofiice.This course We suppose, is open to The Spectator if it Las no objection to making a laugning- stock of itself to the batter informed publie.The Globe took sufficient note of The Spectatos\u2019s silliness to puncture one of its Insinuations\u2014that up«n Mr, Blake's return, Mr.Laurier would be deposed to make way for him, and in doing 80, it said what everyone at all acquainted With the two men knows to be purfect!y irue, that between them there is the sincerest friendship and the most whole-souled admiration of each other's talents.To this The Spectator replies with a challenge ot the accuracy of The Globe\u2019s Statement, It broadiy hints that there was coldness, jealousy and even personal enmity between the two men, and says that for weeks at atime in Parliament they sat side by side without speaking to one another.The Spectator\u2019s insinuations innuendos, and distinct charges are all equally untrue.Everyone familiar with Parliament, whether as member of the House, press correspondent or casual observer from the gallery, will testify to the evident cordiality between these two Liberals, both before and after Mr.Laurier\u2019s election to the leadership.To all such The Spectator\u2019s slurs wiil appear most absurb.LENT AND EASTER.Good Friday, observed of the Christian church as the most solemn of holy days, marks tie ending of the Lenten season of fasting and prayer.Among Protestant peoples the rigid observance of formalities, which ean scarcely be held to be in touch with a religion of which the greatest of all merits is its adaptability to the needs of all men, and the condition of all ages, has latterly fallen into comparative disuse.The Founder of the Church said only oneo \u201cThis do in remembrance of Me.\u201d He never imposed on men such a series of sacraments as would do violenca to their ordinary mode ot life.The falling off, then, in the cbservance of Lenten rigors marks no decadence in Christianity.This must remain a matter of consclence, a matter to be settled by each man for himself.But there is nothing unlovely in a custom which annually impels men to the observance of a season of reflection and self-denial.It would be an admirable custom, even in a heathen land.There fs nothing unlovely, either, in the Easter renewal of the more active pursuit of the busicess and recreations of life.The Easter lily is, after all, the fairest flower of spring.It is thesymbol of resurrection of which every wan feels something springing in his bosom.It is a sign of consciousness at once of the evil that is past, and the good that may came.THE extraordinary influence of Grover Cleveland on the Democratic party is well described by Prof.Wilson in the April Review of Reviews.He says : Signs are not wanting that the Republican party is going, or at any rate may presentiy go, to pieces ; and signs are fair!y abundant that the Democratis party is rapidly being made over by the stirrinz and distributing energy of the extraordinary man who is now President.It may be that Mr.Gresham\u2019s accession to the Democratic cabinet mr&ns that great inrere-ts and great fo; 085 o1 thought in the Norihwest are now turuing about to the assistance of the Democratic party.Mr.Cleveland has been steadily effectin= a revolution in the purposes and methods of the Democratie party by drawing so many new men about him, by assisting to shelve 50 many older men of the Demorratie party of former days, The party has grown bold and aggressive and certain of its own Mind in consequence of the change.Mr, Cieveland\u2019s present term of office may afford him time ana opportunity to complete the transformation.Young men are eazer to serve him : and a Democratic party of young men is the most formidable danger othe Republicans have to fear\u2014the best hope\u2019 that the Democrats have to cherish, NICHOLAS FLOOD DAVIN is a prophet who should not be without honor even in his own country.At the beginning of the session he predicted \u2018\u201ccudgelling\u201d for all those Conservatives who might show signs of mind.He himself has been cudgelled by almost every Government organ in Canada, and now the Orange lodges have taken a hand in the castigation.A district lodge at Ottawa has passed a resolution \u201cresenting with scorn and hurling back with disdain the base and groundless \u2018charges made by Nicholas Flood Davin, M.P., against our most worshipful grand master, belleving him (Davin) to pe & man devoid of those qualities which constitute true manhood.\u201d SENATOR BOULTON'S action in returning his Canadian Pacific Railway pass was nobler even than his conversion to ree trade.Itis easy to be à free trader, but it is terribly hard to refuse to draw a mileage while travelling on a pass, THE FAKIRS AT WORK.STORIES SENT BROADCAST THAT THERE WAS CHOLERA AT HALIFAX Halifax, March 30.\u2014There seem to have been some pretty tall stories sent from Halifax sbout thesickness which developed among a few of the Norwegian immigrants that landed from the Lake Superior on Tuesday.A message signed jointly by Dr.Wickwise, port officer, and Dr.Mc¢Dowell, representing the United States Government here, was forwarded to the Beaver Line agents at New York to-day showing that the Lake Superior left here with a clean bill of health, and that none of her immigrants had cholera or contagious disease.The port heaith officer to-day received a despatch from Ottawa, from the Dominion Government, stating Sir Charles Tupper, Canadian High Commissioner at London, has cabled from Paris, enquiring if there was cholera at Halifax as announced by newspaper telegrams, Of course replies were sent emphatically contradict ing all such incorrect statements.10 Cents Straight.\u201cLa Metropole.\u201d Qailsamo\u2019s, 10 cents straight, $10 per 100, are

yesterday of another great curling match, and that was when The Herald and Gazette rinks met for the second time this Season.From a curlinz standpoint the match was an exceedingly good one, as the score indicates.The Herald, after the last match, felt as if their curling reputation did not amount to anything, and yesterday The Herald made up its minds to show the world in general, and the Gazette in particular, that it knew a little more than the rudiments cf the game.The result was, as might be well expected a signal victory for Tne Herald.Thescore was 15 to 7 in The Herald s favor, and it uvever turned a hair to secure it either.The barticular star, and the one that shone with the greatest Urillinney above alt others, was Aliller MeCunnell of the winning siafl.His shots would do

number of baseball enthusiasts present.Mr, A.F.Miller read his annual report, by which it was shown that the team had played eight championship and three exhibition matches, all of which the Hawthorns won.The secretary also stated that the club was greatly hampered by the grounds question, and in fact had to &o all over town to seeure a suitable place to practice.àlr.Hagar, the honorary president of the club, took a lively interest in the game and entertained the team to a dinner.\u2018Lhe flnapcial statement showed that the club was on a good basis.The workings of last year's league were most satisfactory in every way, but the Hawthornes seem to favor a strictly Montreal league.This matter, however.will be settled atthe general meeting of the league.The election of officers resulted as follows: Hon.permanent president, Mr.C.W.Hagar.President, Geo.Hamilton.Vice-president, I.J.Fry, Secretary, A.K.Miller.Captain, W.C.Hagar.Commiitee, W.Mowat, W.Baird, A.Hamilton.Delegates to league,

and bringing it to prosperous fruition it is W.D.Grand, the famous horse-dealer of Toronto.As all horsewen know, Mr.Grand leaves on Saturday for New York, where he begins anew career, inaugurates a new trade, and that trade is in Canadian horses.1t is an industry which Las triumphed over the McKinley bill, which has brought many good dollars into the hands ot the breeder and the farmer of Canada, and which is likely to produce greater results.In all this propaganda Mr.Grand has been 4 notable pioneer.He is a gentleman es- teewmed and regarded likewise for personal qualities of a high degree, for honesty and tor fair dealing.1t was little wonder then that last night his friends should unite in giving hi a send-off and in dispatching him with a mark of heartfelt regard.The dinner tendered him was a great success, and was attended by the best people ot Toronto and everyuvne wished Mr.Grand a God speed in his new undertaking.Not ouly was Mr.Grand given an address, but he also received a more tangible proof of respect.; AQUATIC The £t Lawrence Ball, There was a large meeting held last night in the Windsor Hotel of the Joint Committees of the St.Lawrence Yacht Club ball, which will be held inthe Windsor Hall, April 21.A large number of the subscription lists were sent in, and so well have the tickets been taken up that the club expects that the limit will be reached, and no more tickets can be sold.\u2018l\u2019hose wishing tickets should apply at once.The club has made a very large appropriation for music, and it is expected that it will surpass all former efforts in this line.Not only will there be music in the ball room, but an orchestra will also supply music in the corridors.The committee had drawings for the menu and program, but they were destroyed in The Herald tire, but tbe club are getting out new designs at once.The feature of the decorations will be floral, with electric light effects, but besides this there will be decorations of an aquatic nature.The supper could not be in better hands and everything points to a brilliant success in this respect.A meeting of the general committee was held after this meeting, at which a large number of new members was enrolled.This brings the membership to over 300.There is great interest taken in Saturday's general meeting, for which a large number of notices of motion has been posted.The general election of officers Will afso take place.The work in the sheds is going on rapidly and all the yacnts are being overhauled.Itis expected that all yachts will be on the water by May 15,

In our market Pacific was firmer at 833, but this was below the London level, where 1t touched 8061; against 854 last night, and closed 86.New York prices were also higher than ours, the stock selling at 83%.Duluth was quiet, the only thing doing being a block of the common, which sold 34 lower at 10%.| In the rest of the list the trading was small, Gas and Telegraph wero quoted ex-dividend, and sold for cash at 218 and 148 respectively.The former closed firm at 212 bid ex-dividend.Cable was a point firmer around 149, and nothing was done in the rights for the new stock, which closed 4634 bid with none offered under 48.This is 114 higher than the previous sale.Richeiieu was firm at 72, and in the banks Merchants was a couple of points higher at 164, while Commerce sold at 146.Nothing was done in money, which is nominally about 6 per cent.on call, but the exchange market was firmer all around, New York funds advancing to about par between banks, against 3-16 to 14 uiscount yesterday, and sterling jumped 4 to 3-16 for long and short, \u2018I'he Montreal Stock Exchange adjourns from to-night until Tuesday morning, Avril 4th, and the New York and Chicago markets close on Friday only.Sales Were as follows: MORNING BOARD.50 Pacific.83% 10 Merchants,.104 75 Cable.148%{ 1u Cormmerce.146 200 Gus, cash.218 AFTERNOON BOARD.LOT 100 Duluth.10% 100 Richelien.72 50 Cable.149 10 Telegruph.148 New York Stocks, = ~~ Messrs, Lamontagne, Clarke & Co.Temple Building, 183 St, James street, Montreal, have received the following by direct private wire from New York : Covering orders exceeded selling on all the opening this morning, resulting in a general improvement,extending to as high as two points in Distillers.The short interest was restless, particularly as the smaller ones saw leaders buying, and the condition ot the market as a whole was the exact reverse of yesterday, when the longs were For farther information apply to any agent of the Company or to VID TORRANCE & CO., Dav ;
