[" oIes -MO[[OY 103 Is Acknowledged as the Best Made fir.McCarthy's Remark Led to the Trouble.UPPER MADE IT WORSE, Reluctantly Gave in to The Speakers Order.DEBATE IS NEARLY OVER.Sir C.H.Tupper and Dalton MeCar- thy the Principal Speakers \u2014Vote To-night, (Special fo the Herald.) Ottawa, March 17.\u2014There was a most uproarious scene in the House to-night almost worthy to rank with some of those fampus events which took place at Donnybrook Green on this night scores of years agp.The members and the densely thronged galleries were treated to the unprecedented, undignified and most reprehensible exhibition of a Minister of the Crofwn, and {he Leader of the House at that, coolly refusing to submit to the Speaker's rulings.The incident lasted fully ten minutes and drew from the Speaker some severe remarks.The afternopn was taken up by \u2018Scrap book Charley\u201d Tupper, who has enlarged his sphere by dealing in statutory declarations after the style of \u2018those which he improperly allowed to be printed in the Mhnitaba blue book.He devoted two hours to tongue thrashing Mr.Laurier and on & smaller scale Mr.Laurier and Mr.Wallace, and ten min- ules infractional snatches to the Remec- ia] Bill.O! argument there was none.Mr.McCarthy spoke for three hours after recess.With quiet dignity he administered a well merited rebuke to the ex-Minister of Justice, whose legal attainments he scoffed at.He gave little time-te this, however, speedily entering - upon the subject of the debate.His spéech has been ldoked forwar to as one ot the chief efforts in the debate and it was worthy ot his famous legal abilities.While arguing from the standpoint that np grievance exists, he sup- Ported Mr.Laurier\u2019s amendment and favored the policy of conciliation and of investigation in the intarests of those who are ignorant of the awual facets.The remaimder of the debate was dull after these addresses.\u201c4 .SIR C.H.TUPPER.Sir Hibbert Tupper was the first speaker of the day and congratulated the House on the calmness and quiet which has marked this great debate as corapared with past exciting debates on questions which he considered more difficult of a peaceful solution.The Government to-day enjoyed the great advantage of being backed up by the great principles of the law.There had been no thoroughly spontaneous or earnest agitation against remedial legislation; the small agitation had been led and promoted signally by\u2019 two men who had absolutely debtroyed whatever power they might have had of leading independent and impartial opinion.One of these wag the grand sovereign of the Orange Order, who had been a member of the Government, and a party to the responsibility of carrying out the terms of the remedial order.No cone could attach much importance to the sayings or movements of a gentleman of that 1k and style.The other was the paid attorney and adviser of the \u2018Manitoba Government, who to-day professed to re- Present public opinion.Sir Hibbert did mot hesitate tol refer to this and to vake the advantage of it, he felt bound to {oi .The excitement against the policy of Justice adopted by the Government, con~ tinued he, has been fanned, aroused and led by the paid advocate of the Manitoba Government.It has been an ephemeral.spasmodic and pumped, up excitement by arguments for which cash down has been Dail out in advance.There is not an argument that the hon.member for North Simcoe can give to the House which he has not already given, with the gold of Manitoba in his pocket.[Am I to be influenced or in.the slightest de- Bree disturbed in the opinions I hold ?1 scout his arguments, I deride them, I am mot \u2018to\u2019 be influénced by them.Sir Hibbert went on to denounce Mr, arthy in bitter terms for his political attitude, after having been the coun- Sel for the Manitoba Government and talle] him the arch offender in intre- ducing the spirit of discord into the House and cpuntry.He did not think It necessary fo defend the law of thid doctor further against\u2019 the criticism bf the lawyer member for Queen's, Fr.Davis, and passed on tia history of the fight in Antigonish and what he called .McIsaac\u2019s dastardly address to the electors.He expected that Mr.Me- Isaac would suprort the Government as he had sincerely counted on \u2018Mr.Laurier\u2019s suport.He could not believe that Mr.Laurier would mot have been every inch a man, a Catholic and a Canadian, supporting the policy of the Government towards his cc-religicinists in Manitoba, even as he, the Speaker, Supported it, although born and bred a Protestant.He read several from speeches by Mr.Laurier id prioof of his statements and capped the climax ÿ producing a statutory declaration, Sworn to.by the mayor and many \u2018citi Zens of Grand River, Gaspe County, on the 2nd met, the day before the pecond reading, professing to report a speech delivered there by Mr.Laurier, August 24, 1895.The deponents, who state that they belong to the \u2018\u2018Gaspesian \u2018elector- ale,\u201d swear that among other reasons &iven by Mr.Laurier why the Government should not be trusted was that they Would never submit a Remedial Bill.A Dr.Eunis apkied hiny if he would intre- duce a bill as Ppemiery or \u2018vote for ta Remedial Bill if introduced, to both of Which points Mr.Laurier replied in the affirmative, oT Co \u2014 e NO.67.Bearing this 4 Ee CUTLERY TRADE MARK FOR Rweroers.pe IS fhe Best KNIVES, FORKS.SPOONS.Sole Proprietor SIMPSON, HALL, MILLER & CO extracts MONTREAL, WEDNESDAY MORNING, Coming then to what he called the uestion before the House, Sir Hibbert ÿrned upon Mr, McCarthy once?more th the epithet \u201cCoercionist.* As weak } the letter \u2018P\u2019\u201d\u2019 in pneumonia was the member for North Simcoe in the session of 1895, but this year he had got the whole opposition in full ery after him.It was exactly one hour and five minutes from the opening cf his speech bes fore the ex-Minister of Justice began to! touch even the hem of the subject, making frequent excursions into personal attacks upon Mr! McCarthy, whom he repeatedly termed the leader of the leader of the Opposition.He reïeired to the crusade of the former against the French race and language, in which horrible work he had now been joined by Mr.Laurier.Sir Hibbert relied on the decision of the Privy Council as final and binding on Parliament.The members of the Judicial Committee laid weight on a Parliamentary compact with Manitoba, and he believed if in Canada its members would vote for remedial iegis- lation.It wag simply a question of standing by tke Constitution.At the conclusion of another hour he caine back to the subject long ¢nough to raise the cry thep the Protestant minority in Que- dec would be in danger if the bill was not passed, and cencluded his scrap-book speech very fittingly by using another man's peroraiion, sitting down just before six o\u2019clock.DALTON McCARTHY.Mr.McCarthy rose at ten minutes past eight, and began by saying that it would be poor policy not to notice the personal attack which opened and more or less ran through the speech of the ex-Minister.of Justice.Whatever his knowledge of Parliamentary practice was, belore the discussion last July, Sir Hibbert ought to have learned it then, if indeed he was capable of understanding anything.The speaker either was or was not entitled to address to the House such arguments as he considered relevant to the discussion, and as, according to the House, he was in order, he was unable to grasp the importance which attached to his own position.Tf the last speaker meant to say that he- cause he had acted as counsel for Mani= toba he should not speak, he could understand the argument, but if not, he failed to appreciate his course.He was blamed because in 1889 he said separate schools should be abolished.He said so still, and failed to see why his holding a brief for the Province of Manitoba in 1892 could affect or had affected his opinions in any way.(Hear, hear.) He was bound by his oath as a professional man to accept a brief when offered to him\u2014(Mr.Davies\u2014Hear, hear)\u2014and if the province had thought fit to entrust him as their counsel no one could say this changed his personal opinion in the slightest degree.When before the Privy Council last year, venre-~ senting Attorney-General Sifton, at that so-called investigatipn, he acted openly and above bpard as counsel.He did not see why he was disqualified from taking part in that debate because he had pc- casion to make cloger study of the case than any one else.I do mot require to come here, continued Mr.McOarthy, after twenty yeprs of public life ti defend myself against such attacks.If my position is not as good as that of tha hon.gentleman/ and his family, then, sir, I must occupy, according to my understanding, a very low position in the public lifer of this country.(Hear, hear.) I am quite willing to leave to my 'coun~ trymen the estimate of my \u2018position.(Hear, hear.) Mr.McCarthy quoted English precedents in the Parnell com=- mission and \u2018other cases, which entirely justified his action, in taking part in| the debate.He denied that Mr.Wallace, any more than himself, had ever express- edi a different opinion to what they now held.He only regretted Mr.Wallace had mot resigned before Nov.20.Sir Hibbert Tupper\u2014\\7hen did I find fault with anything Mr, Wallace said since then?Mr.McCarthy\u2014I am beginning to think, Mr.Speaker, that the hon./member is hopeless.Although he has oceu- pied the position of Minister of Justice and was, 1 believe, the author of the ramous remedial order.he is absolutely hopeless and actuaily incapable of distinguishing the difference between wrong and right.(Laughter).Me himself did not retire from the Government till he had been instrumental in bringing his ancient and venerable parent into public life, (Laughter).In the speech made by the member for Pictou, he continued, he failed to find a consecutive argument.It was full of denunciations and abuse, but he defied any one after listening for two hours to that tirade to say that it contained any argument, though it contained many statements which probably the member for Pictou had taken for arguments.Coming to the question he denied that Parliament had any power to pass this Remedial Bill, although neither he nor any lawyer would deny that it had power to pass a bill in the terms of the tre- medial order.The only speech made in defence of the bill worth considering was Mr.Foster\u2019s, and he would have made a strong case if only his facts could be relied on.As a matter of fact he had gone no deeper than Mr.Ewart\u2019s book, and every statement and quotation made by him was taken from Mr.Ewart's little skit in reply to Mr.Wade\u2019s pamphlet.By quotations from debates Mr.McCarthy showed that the appeal clauses of the constitution had been defeated by the Legislature of United Canada, and were only inserted again on petition to the Queen by the Protestant Teachers\u2019 Protective Association of Quebec, who distrusted their masters.The Minister of Finance had spoken of two compacts, but his arguments on that were a tissue of misrepresentations, either designed or made in igmorance.The Privy Council had held that the B.N.A.Act did not apply to the Manitoba schools.The House had also been told of a bill of rights but he reminded them that the bill of rights upon which Parliament treated with; the Red River rebels contained no reference to separate schools.Speaking of the Privy Council decision, he pitied the country for having had such a legal luminary as the member for Pictou for head of the Justice Department, with power of life and death and said it passed comprehension that he should have argued that the Privy Council decision bound Parliament to act.Even Mr.Foster could not tackle that, although he was equal to most things.Although he himself did not think the minority had a good case he supported Mr.Lauriers contention that the Government should have instituted an investigation first thing.But they had wriggled and twisted from the very outset down to the present day, and the House was now going through the solemn farce of a four-month session, while the Government was forcing its followers to eat dirt for a considera tion.(Hear, hear.) These three words precipitated a tumult such as has not been seen in the House for years.Of course the words were not \u2018strictly Parliamentary, and the \u2018Speaker had to so rule.\u2019 \u201c1 withdraw the expression, saià Mr.McCarthy.\u201cIt is not true.This is the result of reading thosc newspaper | stories; which are, of course, not true.MARCH 18, 1896.PRICE ONE CENT.(Order, order.) I say the statement is pot true.(Cheers) I could give you the names, but then it is not true,\u201d This remark was greeted with laughter and cheers, while some of those who came wituin Mr.McCarthy\u2019s category, indulged in vociferous cries of order.In the midst of the hubbub Sir Chas.Tupper rosd and said: \u201cI submit to yod, Mr, Speakes, whetier it is competent by a subterfuge and sidewind (Mr.Laurier:Order) to uilter a gross libel on the Hous> (Renewed cries of order.Mr.Speaker*® The hon member withdrew the expression, and I have not heard him repeat it.Tke Hon.Secretary of State has distinctly committed & breach of order by the use of the word subterfuge.: \u2018we ruling was greeted with loud cries of \u201cwithdraw\u201d, andl \u2018Take it back,\u2019 Mr.Foster rose to speak, but wan yalled down, and Mr.Edgar appealed to the Speaker to enforce his ruling, Mr.Speaker : \"The hon: member must cithez submit to the ruling of the chair or appeal to the House, (Cheers.) But Sir Charles Tupper had no intention of submitting to anyone, and probably looked in defiance on the rules of the Housa.He scowled at the Opposition, and did not even do the Speaker the courtesy of removing his hat.\u2018 Mr.Foster defended him by erying to quoque to Mr.McCarthy, while Mr.Edgar urged that the ruling should be enforced.There was a bush for a minute or so during which Tupper whispered to Foster, but made no motion to rise, succeeded by & storm of yells, hoots and hisses which ceased as Mr.Laurier TOse to ask: \u201cAre we to understand that the leader of the House is not to submit to the ruling of the chair.\u201d Dr.Landerkin\u2014He thinks he is acting as high commissioner to-night.(Laugh- er).Sir Charles Tupper declared he was in order, but his remarks were drowned out.the instant he repeated his charge of gross libel, and the Speaker had to remind him of the ruling to which he had not yet submitted.Sir Charles\u2014I have no objection to subs stitute the word device for subterfuge, (Cries of order, order).Dr.Landerkin\u2014That language might have done very well thirty years ago.(Hear, hear).\u2018 Mr.Laurier\u2014The Secretary of State is a man, who by age and position should be an example in debate., : Mr.McCarthy\u2014He should not be bound by the same rules as the rest of us whb are ycunger men.We should remember that he is in the nature of a resurrection: here and not amenable to mere earthy laws.(Laughter and cheers.) Mr.McCarthy \u2018then continued his speech.The Government was asking the House to establish separate schools in Manitoba, yet when the ordinance of the N.W.Territories, doing away with separate schools there was passed, the central power did not disallow the same.Why restore separate schools in @ province with full powers of government and refuse to prevent them being abolished in the Territories, which have not got a full Government.He read the statement of Attorney-General Sifton, showing the inefficient character of the separate schools before 1896, and then proceeded to say there was ng ground for inter ference except one.That one ground was that separate schools were to be re-established although the Minister of, Finance said that was a side issue.The question of the much taked of generosity of the majority towards the iminority ip Quebec was a matter whick way fre quently referred to, ant which ke wuld like to des} with.The majority in Cue bec had not anything too muck to tank the majority for.Particularly was this the case im regard to the distribution of thy tax upon commercial companies, ninétenthi of which were the property of Protestants by pcipulætion.They were told by Mr.Ives that ther should pass the bill to protect the Prce testants of Quebec.That was not what the Protestants said.He quoted from the petition af the evangelical alliance, the Presbyterian Record, and the lete ter of Mr.Sellar, editor of the Gleaner, against the bill.Those who talked about justice should recollect what wags done in regard to the \u2018clergy reserves set apart by the Crown, the seignorial tenures and the law in regard to Irish landlords.Coming to deal with the bill before the House he described it as a delusion and a snare.(Hear, hear.) It could\u2019 mot be of beneficial results to anybbdy.Whatever way it was looked at the bill was unworkable.Tihie bill was put forward for the mere purpose of making a declaration in favor of separate schools.Would that distinguished luminary of the law, the Mine ister of Justice, tell them how was it that- he delegated the taxing power of Manitoba to the separte school trustees.By what authority did Parliament interfere with the authority of \u2018Manitoba to prevent the contributions to the public schools.The Dominion could not interfere with the taxing power of Manitoba.In conclusion he said that he would have pleasure in voting for the six months\u2019 hoist.OTHER.SPEAKERS.Mr.Haggart followed, and spoke after the manner of Mr.Taylor, of Gananoque, that the judgment of the Imperial Privy Council was such that the Dominion Parliament had to follow it, as it was a direction to them to do so.Mr.McIsaac said that Sir Hibbert Tupper was a week in the County of Antigonish opposing him before he would say whether or not the Government would introduce remedial legislation.That was probably because a Minister of the Crown was running at the same time in the County ot Haldimand on a different platform.He said that he pledged himself during that election to vote for a Remedial Bill, and he would carry out that pledge, bad as the bill was, but the ex-Minister of Justice and the Government failed to carry\u2019 out their pledges by giving a bill on the lines of the Remedial Bill.The bill was unconstitutional.Mr.Gillies replied to Mr.MeIsaac and spoke in favor of the bill, after which the House adjourned.ttre Volunteers Play Hockey.Nos.6 and 4 companies of the Victoria Rifles played a good clean game of hockey last evening on the Victoria Rink ice.There were only a few friends present, but they were appreciative and the players certainly deserved what Draise they got.They lined up as follows, No.§ Co.\u2014M.Dowill, goal; M.Barclay, point; H.B.Stewart, cover point; G.Hiam, H.Baby, A.W.Monck, D.A.Ewan.forwards.No.4 Co.\u2014A.MT.McCormick, goal; A.Robinson, point; C.H.Turner, cover point; C.Virtue, V.Johnson, W.Mar- cou.J.Davidson,

.aly FRANCE IS SUSPICIOUS Of the British Expedition to Pro ceed Against the Dervishes.TALY WILL CONTINUE ITS WAR, + Premier Rudini Makes the Statement in the Italian Chamber\u2014 Pleased With British Sympathy.Rome, March 17.\u2014In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Iremier, Marquis DI Rudini, said that after the battle of Adowa Gen.Baldissera was instructed to treat for peace on the best terns possible, but that the Government is now convinced that it would be preferable first to establish a state of things agreeing with Italy\u2019s interests.In the meantime hostilities must continue.Italy did not wish to conquer the Tigri district, he said, and did not desire a prctectorate over Abyssinia.The Premier asked for a credit of 140,000,- 009 lire for the African campaign, which was granted, and in eonclusion he said: \u2018Let us follow the same prudent course in our foreign policy as that which has heretofore secured us friends and alliances.\u201d\u201d (Cheers and cries of dissent.) \u2018The Marquis\u2019 speech was cordially received by the Deputies and he received an ovation when he referred to the heroism of the Italian troops.Contrary to general expectations, thera was no very great demonstration when the Socialist deputies entered the House.The crowds outside and inside the chamber were so taken up with the excitement caused by the announcement that the war was to be prosecuted -and by the enthusiasm aroused by the tribute paid by the new Premier of the Italian army, that no body seemed to have time to make a demonstration from a Socialist stand- poinl.The Senate adopted a resolution thanking the British Parliament for its expression of sympathy with Italy and her soldiers as expressed in the House of Commons yesterday by the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr.George N.Curzon.A large Italian caravan has reached Kassala, showing that communications with that place are open, and that the sensational steries circulated in regard to the danger of the garrison there are unfounded.Coe ; ONLY A PRETEXT.London, March 17.\u2014\u2014The Manchester Guardian expresses the opinion that the statement, made in the House of Commons yesterday by.Mr.Ged.N.Curzon, Under-Secretary to\u2019 the Foreign Office, was merely a pretext.The Guardian further says it is widely believed that the price of support given by Austria and Germany to England's remaining in Bgypt is Great Britain\u2019s armed ase sistance to Italy.Hence the Nile expedition.\u201c Paris, March 17.\u2014M.Berthel, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, had anin- terview with the Marquis of Dufferin, British Ambassador, this morning, and asked the reasons for Great Pritain\u2019s sending an expedition to Dongola.He pointedly called Lord Dufferin\u2019s attention to.the gravity of the consequences of such a step.\u2018 The Minister of Foreign Affairs, M.Berthelot, afterwards: announced at a Cabinet Council, this afternoon, that he had asked the British Ambassador, the Marquis of Dufferin, for information regarding the proposed advance of Brit- ish-Egyptian troops up the Nile and stated that he had pointed out to phe Ambassador the seripus consequences of such an advance.The Minister of Foreign Affairs thas postponed making a statement in the Chamber of Deputies on the subject of the British advance up the Nile, SALISBURY'S STATEMENT.London, Mprch 17\u2014The Marquis of Salisbury, in the House of Lords, to\u2019day, replying to a question from Lord \u2018Rose- bery, the Liberal leader, and former Premier, said that the advance of Brit- ish-Egyptian troops up the Nile was undertaken after communication had been received on the subject from the Egyc- tian and Italian Government.The Egyptian Government, the Premier added, nad represented to the Gliverriment of Her Majesty the danger with which Egypt was threatened through the advance bi the Dervishes, amd \u2018the orders given coincided with the wishes of Egypt.COMMANDANT, APPOINTED.Cairo, March 17.\u2014Sir H.H.Kitchener, the brigadier-general in command of the Egyptian forces, has been definitely appointed to command the British-Egyp- tian expedition, which will advance on April 1 from Wady-Halfa up the Nile and towards Dongola.Slatin Pasha, formerly an officer of the Austrian and Egyptian armies, and who recently escaped from Omdurman after having been nearly seventeen years in captivity in the Soudan, will take part in the expedition.There are few men if any who are calculated to help the British expeditionary force more than Slatin Pasha.He went to the Soudan in 1876-77 as a traveller and at the end of the latter year was appointed Inspector-General of the forces by General Gordon, an old friend of his.Later, he was appointed governor of western Darfus by the then Khedive, Tewtik: Pasha, and while occupying that post he fought twenty-seven battles against the Mahdists and lost the greater part of his troops end almost all his ammu- aition.He wagi cut off from communication with Khartoum and was eventually forced to surrender.In one battle he went out agalnst the forces of the Mahdi with 10,000 men and, being suddenly aitacked, in les than half an hour he had only 900 left.Yet, with these few men he managed td retreat with his wounded.After the fall of Khartoum, having been eight months in chains and nearly starved, he was released by the Khalifa on condition that he would never leave his presence and was lodged in a.house next to fhe, Khal- ifa\u2019s.But he eventually succeeded in escaping, as already told.He says that the Khalifa, ini spite of reverses during! recent years, is still very powerful and that at Omdurman, where the Khal- ifa's court and principal garrison is housed, there are about 400,000 persons.Strong garrisons are also maintained at other places, especially at Dongola, where, it is possible that the Dervishes may muster over 20,000 men.The Khal- ifa manufactures hil own ammunition and hap a quantity of machine guns and plenty of modern rifles similar to those uked by the Egyptian troops.In fact, thousands of them have been captured in battle.ITALY PLEASED.T.ondon, March 17.\u2014The Under Secretary of State for Forcigu Affairs, Mr.George N.Curzon, announced in the House of Commons to-day that Italy had FRANCE SHEKS.AN EXPLANATION.expressed her pleasure at the proposed advance ol British-Egyptian troops up the Nile.po Paris, March 17\u2014The French Government up to this time has not defined its position towards the proposal to despatch an Egyptian expedition up the Nile.A \u2018 \u2018There is reason to believe that the propcsal came as a surprise to the French Government.French statesmen had been entertainifg the hope that an opening of negotiations was near at hand looking to the evacuation of Egypt by the British troops.Next to the sovereignty of Germany over Alsace- Lorraine, probably the greatest source of irritation known to French diplomacy is the British occupation of Egypt.The present move on Great Britain's part is doubtly irritating, coming as a check to hopes which French statesmen had allowed themselves to entertain.The first intimation came to-day of the probable course which France will take in view of the new conditions in Egypt.A sensation has been caused by the announcement made by M.Berthelot, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the Cabinet meeting to-day that he had asked the British Ambassador, the Marquis of Dufferin, for information regarding the propcsed advance of the British for fixing the boundary between the French and English possessions of tne Lower Niger, and the opening of negotiations for a tresh convention respecting Tunis.1° L The Government's semi-officiai statement further announces that Great Bri - ain\u2019s explanation that the advance is necessary in the interest of Egypt \u201cis viewed with scepticism in France.\u201d France is not deciding upon the course she will pursue without a full understanding with her Russian ally and it is announced that numerous telegrams have passed between Paris and St.Petersburg to-day \u2018on the subject.It is understood here that Great Britain also sounded the Russian Government before annpuncing \u2018the Egyptian programme.But the action of the Czar in conferring upon the Negus Menelik the military order vf St.George is accepted as peremptory notice that Russia has no sympathy with Great Britain\u2019s plans for aiding and relieving the Italians in Africa.i As one of the guaranteeing powers to the Egyptian kondhjlders, France has more than the usual interest/of the other powers in the disposal of Egyptian revenue and she may refuse fo consent to the cost of the Egyptian troops up the Nile, and Had poimtead out to him the serious consequence of such an advance.This, Warning note may be à preliminary to more decided steps.{ \"à The Foreign Minister\u2019s announ(cement was eagerly taken.up in the lobbies lof the Chamber of Deputies, and wag the exclusive topic of discussion.The prevailing sentiment expressed was one of indignation at the course adopted by Great Britain and the general feeling is that France must adopt a decisive tone in dealing with the maltter.Co A semirofficial statement was given out this evening reflecting the opinion of the Government on the subject, although M.Berthelot had decided to postpone, making the formal statement in the Chamber of Deputies on the attitude of the Government towards the proposed expedition.- (\u2018Fhe proposed advance up the Nile\u2019?surprise to the Government and will serve to embitter the anti-English feeling in France at a time when a better entente was promised,\u201d This is a reference to the London agreement of January 13, bearing on the delimitation of English and French pos sessions on the Mekong with substantial advantage to France; the appointment of commissioners to the Nile campaign being charged to the Egyptian budget.The scepticism semi-oficially expressed by the French Government as to the alleged necessity of the campaign in the interest of Egypt indicates a purpose to try to restrain the disposal of the Egyptian revenues.The apprehensions aroused in France by a British campaign up the Nile extend beyond Egypt, beyond Dongola and Khartoum and into Central Africa and the sources of the Nile, where French colonial expansion has been as active as or more active than it has been in Tonking and up the Mekong.This French expansion threatens to absorb the Valley of the Nile itself, and to push on to the borders of the Italian possessions in \u2018Ethiopia, thus forming an obstruction between British Uganda and Egypt.Great Britain has viewed these encroachments with impatience, and French observers do not fail to note that even Liberal members of the British Parliament express the belief that Lord Salisbury is looking to re-occupy- ing the Soudan and opening a new way to the British possessions in South Africa.A returning commissary-gen- eral from the French Congo recently gave public expression to the hopeful prospects for France gaining access to the Valley of the ,Nile from the French- Congoese territory.It is for us mow, he added, only to follow persistently the road which is open to us, and to surmount the obstacles which the powers interested may place in our way.Access to the Valley of the Nile from the south is the only way in which we may be enabled one day to settle the Egpy- tian question in a manner consistent with our interests.By that means also we shall be able ore day to successfully oppose the progress of our rivals in regard to colonization.The vast territory eastward to Lake Tschad ,including the Mohommedan states of Baghuiri, Wadal and Darfour, have also been rapidly brought under French influence, and from another point of vantage for advance into the Nile Vals ley.France fears that the Egyptian advance to Dongola covers a British ade vance to Khartoum and to Uganda, and an interference with her prosperous colonial expansion in Central Africa.The British occupation of Egypt is sufficiently galling in itself, but more so in its threat to French plans in Africa be yond Egypt.ey SESSIONAL NOTES.Mr, McShane will inquire of the Ministry regarding petitions from theatrical managers and citizens of Montreal regarding duty on

Mr.W.B.Wallace was present.No one else was there.1 am speaking of my own room, ithe office im the rear.I did not know at ghe ime | that there was anybody present in the outer office.I think the conversation.was on the Saturday before the election in Cape Breton.The private conversation I had with Cahan related to some of the matters referred to in this \u2018open letter.\u201d {Cahan stated in the course of the conversatipn that Sir Charles Tupper had obtained a large sum of money through his connection with the negotiations of a Canadian loan.He alsostated that this was said to be the Yeason why he was not entrusted with ihe carrying on of the negotiations in con nection with other loans.If I remember, he referredk to an editor in the Chronicle of the previous date, in wbickh it was stated that Sir Charles Tupper, as High Commissioner, had never been allowed to discharge that part of his duties as High Commissioner.I think that is the substance of what was said referring\u2019 to matters in this letter.1 think Mn Wallace was piesent curing the part of the conversation referring to Sir Charles obtaining money through the loan.- I think I did say something to Callan about not talking too loud during the couxse :of that conversation.I am not quite spire I cid.At that time I think he was speaking in hig ordinary tons of voice, but it is rather penetrat- ve Cross-examined by Mr.Borden, Mr, McKay swore: I was not at the time awaré that anybody was in the outer office.No.1 madé his presence known were occasionally: in and.out of the oKce.\u2018No.1 made his presence known in the other office-not to me.1 never repeated this conversation to McConnell.Up to the time of the publication of the letter McConnell never made any enquiry of me with regard to this conversation.Cahan came to my office on that occu.sion for the purpose of transacting some business.sides of a Suits After transacting the business mysell, and Mr.Cahan incidentally discussed the Cape Breton election.Ve discussed the subject of an editorial that appeared in the Morning Chronicle on \u2018the 21st of January, 1896.Ve dia not discuss this editorial, but the matter stated în it.This editorial is headed : \u201cHow Sir Charles Tupper made his wealth.*\u201d, This editorial charged that while Sir Charles was Premier and Provincial Sec- tetary in the Government of Nova Scotia he made $40,000 out of the Spring- hill mines deal.The editorial tn the Morning Chronicle of January 28th, headed \"A Serious Question,\u201d had appeared in the Morning Chronicle before this eon- versation.This editorial charged that Sir Charles Tupper had never yet been trusted to place a loan on the (London market; that Mr.Courtney had been sent | over on one occasion and Mr.Foster on another.Mr.McKay's evidence concluded as follows: I mybelf referred to the matters In the editorial, I know T referred to the Springhill matfer.I did not refer to them as matters of which I had Personal knowledge, I referred to them as matters that were generally known.b didn\u2019t refer to them as matters.that were reported.I referred to the Springhill matter as something that was known to be correct, by people generally.I spoker of it as a matter that was known to myself.It was after this matter had been spoken of by me that Mr.@ahan referred to other matter.I don\u2019t remember that Mr.Cahan referred to the editorial.He dld refer to the stetements made in the Chronicle Ithink.\u2018Mr.Cahan did not state that Sir Charles was a Cabinet Minister at the time of this lean.Mr.Cahan did not state thal, he had any rer- sonal knowledge of those matters.It was quite à private conversation between myself and Mr.Cahan.Co At the conclusion of the evidence Mr.Borden, Q.C., referred to thie very unfair reports of the evidence which had been given in certain newspapers.!

there can be put upon that contention only tion, no Parliament can exist for a per- fod greater than five years, The present.one construction.Under the Constitu- Parliament vas in session April, five years ago.\u2018And in April of this year of grace it will die a natural death.\u2019This is the case in a nutshell.That the Government should argue otherwise may be taken to prove one of two things.Either the Goveinment is talking for talk\u2019s sake: or it is willing to plead guilty to the charge that it is afraid to meet the people.THE VOTE.Sometime to-night or in the small or greater hours of te-morrow morning, the vote upon the Remedial Bill will be taken.The country at large will not be sorry except in mo far as the result of the vote itself may be disappointing.The issue Was taken: at the moment of Mr.Laurier\u2019s unequivocal declaration against the bill, in principal and in detail, and though the debate has revealed a singular disposition, on the part of several staunch partizans on either side of the House, to sever the affiliations of a political lifetime, the great volume of speechmaking that has followed the declarations of the leaders of the two parties, has served no purpose other than that of the elucidation of the reasons operative in the cases of the less conspicuous members of the House.It has been a matter of such moment as to warrant extensive discussion in Parliament.But the discussion has been.of its very, nature, \u2018a discussion of which even the mont intelligent community could not fail to grow tired and the wote itself, to say nothing of its result, will [be greeted with great satisfaction throughout the country.vo.\u2019 : The result will depend almost entirely upon the degree of the willingness of Government supporters from Ontario to sacrifice personal inclination and fealty to constituents to their desire to keep the Government in power.In this regard.several of \u2018the Government's whilom staunchest champions have declared that they\" are not Willing at all.These will vote with Mr.Laurier.Certain, of thpse who will fake the gther course are avowedly held in places\u201d by promises of positions of emolument under the Government.Others are con- Heientiously of the opinion that the s-hool question is subservient to consi:» erations of what they are pleased forall the general polity of the (Government.And there are other Government tGup- porters from Ontario, who frankly .confess their adheremce to the policy of coercion.How far these several forces will be operative to-night remains {a be seen, but the result depends upon \u2018the extent of their duration.Mr.Laurier\u2019s following, of course, will be found almost unanimous.\" JAMESON'S SURRENDER, There seems noreason to doubt in the new light that has beer thrown on matters since the arrival of Dr.Jameson and his raiders in England, that President Kruger not only played \u2018a beautiful game \u2018où bluff on the Witlanders of Jonannesberg, but that he gained the unearned thanks of Champerlain for a maderation which, he was in honor bound to observe.Ever since the first astor- ishing news of Jameson\u2019s dash reached this countwy.the topic has proved of absorbing Interest, and Kruger's action in turning over his prisoners, to the British Government has been lauded to the skies in view of the intelligence [that Jameson surrendered unconditionally.Now comes thel other side jof the story.Jameson did not surrender unconditionally and documentary evidence of that fact is in \u2018possession of Sir John til loughby, who was in military (command of the invaders.When it was found that a road could not be forced through the fast gathering Boers, the white flag was hoisted and Sir John sent 9 note to the Bper commander in the following terms: \u201cWe surrender provided you guarantee a safe conduct out of the country\u2019 for every member of the force.\u201d A reply in/ Dutch, of which the following is a translation, was received: \u2018Officer, please take notice that I shall immediately let our officers come toe- gether to decide upon your fommunica- tion.Commandant.\u201d This was followed by another note, which read as follows: \u2018John C.Willoughby, \u2014I acknowledge your letter.The answer is that if you will undertake fia pay êhe expenses which you have caused to the South\u2019 African; Republic, and that you will lay down yiour arms, then I shall spare the lives of you and yours.Please send me the reply to this within #hirty minutes.\u2014P.A.Kronje, Commandant, Potchefgtrpotn.\u201d To this letter Sir John replied: \u2018\u2018Sir,\u2014I accept your terms on the guarantee! that the lives of he whole force are to be spared.I now await your ingtructiond as to how and where we are to lay down our farms.At the same time I would ask \u2018you to r'e- \u2014\u2014 member that my men have been without food for the last twentykfour hours.I have the honbi: to be; your obedient servant, John Willpughy.\u201d The letters from the Boer commandant are now in Sir John\u2019s possession, and reprodu:- tions have appeared in the St.James\u2019 Budget.The Po:rs advanced and surrounded the English upon the receipt of the last note, and the disarming mwas proceeded with.Sitrortly afterwards a senior officer to Kronje puff in an appearance and threatened to put the whisle of the officers to death.This fs dhe outiine of the raiders\u2019 story and it bears the marks of truth on its face.Why should Jameson and his men have surrendered unconditionally as long asgithey had strength to strike a blaw?It Is surely better to die fighting than to Le lined up against a wall and shot down in cold blocd.Mpanwhile the Johannesburg people were tpld that unless they immediately disarmed, Jameson and his men would be shot after a drunthead court martial.The terms of the surrender were kept from the British authorities and Chamberlain telegraphed that President Kruger's generous conduct redounded to his credit.That it redourded to the wily old \u2018man\u2019s astuteness there can\u2019 be no manner of doukt.The Boers\u2019 vittbry was as complete in the field of diplomhey as À was ini Lhe: field of battle.\u2018 \u2014_\u2014 TAYE ITALYAN (BiSIS, Adowa has sprung intu prominence and will henceforth stand out in the pages of history als a milestone marking a distinct epoch in the stories of many nations.The whole European situation ig critical, and none know what startling developments a moment may bring forth; events, world-wide in their bearing.So far as Italy is concerned, everyone who has ever travelled over her historic and beautiful provinces must have been struck with one outcome of her recent history, and that is the bver- .whelming evidences of officialism on every side; vast public offices, and mobs of men engaged in all manners of government affairs, all bearing witness, such as even he who runs -may read, ast to the huge expense entailed by the present system of government.To make a United Italy entailed very many great difficulties; local dialects, prejudices and customs are by no means swept away even: by the enthusiasm of a great movement, the more so when it is considered what the state of the country was some thirty-five years ago.The poverty of the people, the gross ignorance in evidence on every side, were mighty forces to contend with, and do not appear to have been tackled in the right way.A new kingdom had to be built in accord with the spirit of the times, which, considering the temperament of a people of such wigh ancestry, might have been done without, entailing such disastrous results as the world sees to-day.If she had been content with domestic reforms things might have been far different from \u201cwhat they are, but the rulers were not content to do this, preferring by a sort of political gambling to make Italy a first-class power, with all the responsibilities and complications such a course entailed.An expensive army and navy were {wo of the first needs, and then an alliance with her mighty and potent neighbors, which very quickly revealed itself in the terrible state of affairs shown in the budget.In 1894 it was officially declared that the interest on the debt was $120,000,000, whilst the deficit in revenue was $21,000,000, outside of which there were enormous local debts.The result of such a state of things is that the poor peasant has to contribute well- nigh one-half of his annual earnings to the Government, naturally breeding discontent and every other form of mutinous spirit.King Humbert has made many a sacrifice for his nation, but it would appear as\u2019if the near future would demand even more, for financlal- ly the outlook is of the blackest.Official rule always spells ruin in the long run; the few grow fat, whilst the | thousands starve, till at last there comes the day when the people will not divert their eyes from what is heppening at their own fireside, to gaze at the glories of foreign aggrandizement.\"The day when the whirligig of events in some political vortex reveals disaster and shame, then the people rise, and ail dictatorship is at an end.Nations, like many must pass through the Turnace, aril by defeat learn the way to conquer next time.The great danger of such up- gets is that when the masses are roused to fury, led on by blatant demagogues, they indulge in lamentable excesses, endangering, mayhap even destroying, the constitutional government of the land.Never was there an example more patent to the eyes of men of the curse of an expensive officialism, nurtured by dictatorship, coincident; with people-ignor- ance, than has been revealed by the results of the Italian campaign in Abyssinia.Menelik IL, of Abyssinia, ig a gentleman of high degree, for, according to hig story, he is a direct descendant lof Menelik I., Emperor of Ethiopia, and a son of the great King Solomon by the Queen of Sheba.In accord with such a, descent he holds exalted ideas as to his place and position.Yet it would \u2018appear that he does not fail to [realise the difference of the times since his great ancestor held sway over the empire of the past, and has sincé his accession shown considerable skill and tact in consolidating a crowd of semi- independent vice-royalities into one powerful whole.His queen, Taitou, is a woman with considerable personal and intellectual attractions, being withal of a decidedly warlike turn of mind.is known to have much weight in political affairs, and ap shel is of high family and great wealth the aggregation amidst the rocky faistnesses of Abyssinia at the present moment is by no means & contemptible one.A very, marned change is to be noticed in the tone of the utterances of the morë respectable portion of the Uniteu States press.The wild thirst for gore =somebody\u2019s, anybody\u2019s=w hich has char- | agterized speechesin the United Stated |

his utter innocence blinded him to the possibility of Such a suspicion ; while the guilt and slander which had blackened his name would combine with his presence in the camu to confirm the report.ro \u2018Who would understand the noble ens thusiasm which had prompted him to enter the ranks ais a common soldier ?Who would accept his explanation ?Every brave act that he had done, évery service he had rendered to the Government, would be regarded as nothing more than blinds to his real pur- pose\u2014that of serving the enemy.\u2018 AH sacrifices\u201d he had made would be misinterpreted; amd.in one hour the bitter struggle of a year would be rendered worse than valueless\u2014it would be made the means of condemning him anew.There was only one chance of saving him\u2014he must escape from the camp before this investigation took place.And there was only one way of impressing him with the necessity of this measure \u2014she must go herself to the camp, and use every argument that the occasion might inspire her with to compel him to take flight.10 It was the only hope, and she resolved to put it to the test, without giving one thought to the hazard which the enterprise entailed upon herself.She wiped her eyes; tears and womanish timidity were to be set aside.She was to think only of his peril, and from that obtain courage to smile, although her hearl was breaking, and to overcome every difficulty that stood between her and his safety.: \u2018The first difficulty\u2019 was to obtain admission to the camp.Disguise was necessary, and Johnstone could help her.She waited tmpatiently for his return, and when he came, she maid, quietly, \u201cWould you risk your life to save your master's, Johnstone ?\u201d \u201cI would give it, my lady,\u201d was the answer of the faithful old man, and he meant what\u201d he said.: .\u201cThen, you must help me to the camp to-night.master,\u201d \\ He was bewildered by this demand: but he said simply, \u201cYou will need a pass.\u201d \u201cCaptain Spence will obtain it for me.\u201d Johnstone raimed no further objection, and he undertook to manage everything else if Spence provided the pass.get into \u2018TI must see your w\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CHAPTER, XIV.A heavy mist filled the Strath of Tay, shrouded the mountains which rolled upward to the horizon west and north of the camp.Here and there some giant of the Highlands lifted his head above the mist, seeming to keep glcomy and threatening watch upon the invaders.The encampment was made by the river side, and as the night darkened, the Blazing fires \"were reflected in the water, assuming mystical forms that moved and changed with the rippling of the tide.There was the murmur of voices like the subdued roll of waves upon thesshore.The bugles were sounding the recall, the guard was being changed, and the men who had been released from duty were bustling about preparing the evening meal.the fires, smoking, laughing, and recounting deeds of valor or cunning conquest of some poor peasant\u2019s cattle.In the centre of the camp were raised tha colors of the two regiments which constituted General Kerr's army.Piles of musketry , and pieces of ordnance which had played so important a part at Culloden, werd arranged in order, ready\u2019 to the hands of the men at jthe slightest signal of alarm.The strictest watch was observed in the immediate vicipity of the camp and on the surrounding heights.successful surprises made by the Highlanders hed taught the officers of the Government to regard as one of their first duties.Patrols of dragoons moved constantly round the neighborhood, seeing that the sentinels were at their posts, and arresting; or chasing away curiosity might lead them to the precincts of the camp.But the latter service\u2019was rarely required of them, for the mere appearance of the dragoons, with their long loose skirts flying behind them as they rode, their trunk, square toed boots, massive stirrups, leatlers, and huge holster pistols and carbines, was imposing enough to frighten away the boldest of civilians.There were, however, parties of men and women admitted within the limits of the lines to supply the soldiers with provisions and such luxuries as thege petty speculatons could carry on their backs or with the help of a horse and carl.\"The men were mostly of the lowest type of peddlery and tramps, ready to turn a penny honestly or otherwise.The women were no better ; the greater number of them had followed the regiments from the dens of garrison towns.At Fort Augustus races.were run by the trulls of the camp under circumstances o! indecency which shocked every principle of morality.Officers and soldiers prompted these exhibitions, and the duke, if he did not sanction them, made no effort to check them.Happily, affairs were not quite so bad in the camp of General Kerr.The bivouac at niehtfall, with the fires scattering the mist to right and left, and flashing brightly on the deadly implements of war, was picturesque rather than terrible.Not a man seemed to give a thought to the horrors in which he had been so lately engaged.Comrades who had fallen by their side barely month ago were already forgotten, and new friendships had taken the place of the old.\"The scenes of carnage through which they had passed were subjects of indifference to most of them now, and their while interest seemed to be concentrated om the question of supper.Habit renders war even common place, or soldiers would lay down their arms and refuse to enter a second battle.The company of Sergeant Ryan was quartered close by the river, and the light hearted Irishman having returned from a private foraging expedition, laden with; various stores, his men were helping him to prepare a meal of somewhat { better fare than that provided by the Government commigsary.Among other things he had secured a Young ple, and at sight of this treasure Corporal Hodge exclaimed, with enthusiasm.\u201cRyan, you're a hero.\u201d ;- \u201cIt\u2019s the pig ye mame,\u201d said the Irishman, with a twinkle in his eyes;
