this should be done again.By the Janvas- ter Bill the Grand Trunk would be ccm- pelled to so reduce the spesd of is trains that the time betwsn \u2018Lorcuto and Montreal would be atmost duubled.Even if it could raise the indacy the company would not be able to comply with the crossi1z requiremrcts at so early a date as Jin.1, and te disregard the law would leave the head «il.cials liable to manslaughter penalties.The cost of the protection required would run into millions.Hostile legislation against the railways would militate against investment in Canada, Senator Power moved an amendment to leave the control of speed in the bands of the Railway Commission.Senator David moved to amend the bill by substituting the Senate amendment of last year.The one o'clock ad- Journment came while discussion was procecding.The committee will resume tie discussion this afternoon if the Senate rises early.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 RAILWAY COMMITTEE GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC AGREEMENT WITH ONTARIO GOVERNMENT PASSED.Ottawa, March 25.\u2014The Railway Committee of the House of Commons this morning first considered Mr.J.Turnift's bill respecting the subsidy from the Cntario Government to the Lake Superior branch of the Grand Trunk Pacific.The object of the bill is to confirm the agreement made between the Ontario Government and the G.T.P.Mr.W.H.Biggar, on behalf of the G.T.P., said the measure as originally drafted was objected to.' it had been redrawn, however, and im its present shape is satisfactory both to the Minister of Railways and tbe Oh- tario Government, EE Mr.Conmee argued that it should be made clear that in respect to the agree ment the companies are subject to the Railway Commission.It was nointed out that this was fully provided for in the General Railway Act.The bill was reported without further opposition.The bill authorizing the Canadian Northern Railway to construct a line of railway from Nepigon Bay, on Lake Superior, to the N.T.Railway, with several branches, caused some discussion, The branches proposed include two to reach water connections at the northerly and southerly ends of Lake Nepigon.A clause was added providing for a branch, from the Toronto-Sudbury line to Little Current, a distance of seventy miles, OPIUM DEN RAIDED \u2014=\u2014=l EIGHT WHITE MEN AND SIX CHINAMEN ARRESTED.Eight white men and six Chinamen were charged in the Recorder\u2019s Court to-day with being frequenters of an opium den.This was the outcome of à raid that was conducted by Chief of Police Campeau, Captain Hebert.Lieutenants Fafard and Mickle, of No.4 Police Station, at 11 o\u2019clock last evening, on a resort run by a Chinaman named Soo Jun Ou, at 42a Lagauchetiere street west.When the police arrived the white men were already stretched out on the tables, and had just lit their pipes in the expectation of having pieas- ant dreams.Four Chinamen .were found in a back room filling the pipes, while two others were preparing the opium for the users.\u2019 The inmates were all hustled into patrol waggons and taken to No.4 Police Station, where they remaired over night in the celles, bail having been refused.They gave the following names and tddresses:\u2014Seb Jun Ou, Wong Song, Lee Sung, Him Hum, Lee Dow, all living at 42a Lagauchetiere street west;

and with the summer vacation within sight, the problem of playgrounds for the children of the congested parts of the city comes again into the range of \u2018practical politics.\u2019 .But the playground problem has not yet been taken hold of cither by the \u2018practical politicians\u2019 of the Provincial Legislature or the City JIall, Aiming at stimulating these gentle men into thoroughly aroused public opinion, the ladies of Montreal have arranged with the publishers of the \u2018Witness\u2019 to take complete charge of a special \u2018Woman's Edition of the Montreal Daily Witness,\u2019 to be issued early in May.This is something the ladies of Montreal have never yet done.They have been leaders in all sorts of enterprises to raise money for movements aiming at a better city, but this is the most ambitious undertaking yet launched, and, while they regard it purely as a business proposition, they rely upon the good of fices of their friends to give the fullest measure of publicity to it.The \u2018Woman\u2019s Edition\u2019 will be unique in the annals of Montreal journalism.The feature will be the need of suwer- vised playgrounds, and this will be pres sented with full information end illustrations showing what is being done elsewherc in that connection.But in addition, every department of the paper will be edited by a woman, and matters of current interest will be viewed from a woman\u2019s standpoint, not even except ing such masculine matters es finance and sport.% The * Parka Ad Playgrounds Associ RE | Edition\" will be produced, includes ps} \u2018of the best-known Montrealers, and, with their influence in its favor, the venture cannot be anything but a huge success commercially, providing money fo playground equipments.\u2019 : But the ladies are not content to rely simply on the influence of their friends.In soliciting advertising they are presenting to advertisers a business proposition that cannot be overlooked, and is bound to make a handsome financial return to the advertisers, for the Edition will be an enormousone, and one that will be preserved and shown to friends.The ladies have already started can- vaseing for advertisements, and are meeting With gratifying success, The circulation department, not content with relying upon the sales of the day où issue, are distributing coupons which will be sold in advance, as tickets for a bazaar are sold.These will be in the hands of hundreds of enthusiastio friends of the cause, who will sell the coupons at five cents each.Each cou pon will be good for one copy of the famous \u2018Woman\u2019s Edition,\u2019 if presented on the day of issue, the enormous increase in the size of the issue having en~ tailed the placing of the price at five cents per

Ald.Robillard moved that the position be offered to Mr.Demontigny with a salary of 21,500 a year.: ; Ald.-O\u2019Connell moved that the post tion be given to Mr.H.Garneau.\u2018But you cannot do it, in face of the rules of council\u201d declared Ald.Ward.The Mayor said that if a new man was brought in Mr.Demontigny would have recourse against the city.The chairman said he did not put the | game interpretation on the rule as the, Mayor insisted upon.He said that Al.O'Conneil\u2019s motion was in order.Ald.O\u2019Connell, however, withdrew it, and Ald.Robillard's motion was then defeated on an even vote, the division being Aldermen Robillard, Leclaire; and Levy for, hnd Aldermen Lesperance, Ward and O\u2019Connell against it.The question was then referred back to the sub-committee, with instructions to decide what salary should De offered to Mr.Demontigny, and report at the next meeting.Ald.O'Connell dissented.france FIRE RECORD Jacksonville, Fla., March 25.\u2014A fire starting at \u2018one o'clock this morning in a three-story building on Forsyth street, for a time threatened the entire business district.The fire department was called out in full force, and at \u2018three o'clock had -the flames under control, after having confined it to the one building.T'he loss is estimated at $350,- 000, partially insured.~~ ~~ SHACKELTON\u2019S TRIUMPH.\u2014 Explorer Actually Reached Within 97 Miles of South Pole.(See also page 12.)

finding expression in the Laymen's Missionary Movement, was the subject of an address by Mr.W.H.Goodwin at a meeting in Calvary Congregational Church last evening.After the opening hymn, the chairman, the Rev.Principal Hill, read pas- suges from the Gospel of St.Matthew and the Acts of the Apostles, showing me what manner the missionaries of the early church endeavored to realize the junction to carry the gospel into all lands.The pastor ot the church, the Rev.E.lI.Tippett, led in prayer, and Mr.Hilton Pedley, who is the son of a missionary to Japan, sang a solo.Mr.George McGarry, one of the representatives of Calvary Church on th?Jaymen\u2019s council, first set forth the manner in which that church proposed to take up its share of the work of carrying the gospel to the non-Christian world.In speaking of the nced of greater liberality in the contributiong of the churches ot the United States and Canada with respect to foreign missions, Mr, McGarry pointed out that these two countries contributed less by over two hundred thousand dollars annually than the nine million six hundred thousand dellars of Great Britain, though they had double the population.Twenty DOMINION PARLIAMENT Lord Strathcona\u2019s Generous Gift of $250,000 to MR.FOSTER MOVES THAT , Ottawa, March 25\u2014The most interesting feature of the proceedings in parlia- nicnt yesterday was the announcement by Sir Frederick Borden, Minister of Militia, that Lord Strathcona, Canada\u2019s High +\u2019cmissioner in London, had decided to give $10,000 per annum to en- rourage physical and wmilitary training in the schools of the Dominion.A quarter.of a million dollars is immediate ly available to establish this fund, which, if a suggestion made by Sir Frederick Borden is carried out, will be known as \u2018The Strathcona Trust.\u201d It will be administered by a body of trustees special ly designated for that purpose.- The minister read to the House a cable he had despatched to Lord Strathcona accepting hig generous and patriotic offer.Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr.R.L.Borden, in brief, but eloquent, speeches, moved and seconded a vote o from the High Commissioner to the Minister of Militia reads as follows:\u2014- \u201828 Grosvenor Square, W., London, \u2018March 13, 1909.\u2018My Dear Sir Frederick Borden,\u2014You will recollect that when we met in London during your recent visit I was greatly interested in the account you gave me of your efforts to get a system of physical training and military p\u2014 \u2014 - thousand missicnaries were needed for the purpose of bringing the gospel with- | ing hearing of every people on earth.If | each Christian, he said, would give four | cents every Sunday to the cause funds | would not be lacking, and the work would be Jone.Mr.Goodwin, who is to attend the National Missionary Congress in Toronto, in session March 31 to April 4, sketched briefly the development of the movement, from the time of its inau- | guration, two years ago, when a number of Christian business men met to celebrate the centenary of the Foreign Missionary Society.At that gathering it was felt that the active interest of laymen ghould be enlisted, and their talent for enterprise find scope in a movement directed by laymen, The movement was a response to the preaching of years, and the preachers of the gospel were glad the dry bones cf the vision of Ezekiel were coming together and taking form, and there would soon be a great army moving with one purpose.The meeting under the hay- \u201cWe can do it if we will;\u201d the present one, \u2018We can do it, and we will\u2019 To this end were co-operating the Christian business men of every city in the United States and Canada, and those of the many smaller towns were joining in the crusade of evangelization as well.The congress at Toronto, jts delegates including many known throughout the country\u2019s business circles, coming from Halifax on one hand, and from Vancouver on the other, would be a unique ox- pression of the new force in the religious world.One worker reported that the Czar had donated twenty-five hundred dollars to the Y.M.C.A.in St.Petersburg.Recently Turkish warders, not only permitted, but \u2018assisted, Dr.Tees to secure photographs of Turkish dungeons, in order that the Christian world might assist Turkey in the work of reformation.One hundred yvars ago Japan not only prohibited emigration, but prohibited the building of seagoing vessels.Lately an overflow gospel! meeting in Corea was held in a Buddhist temple.The United States had refunded to China some fifteen million dollars wrongfully assessed on China for Boxer damages.and China had determined to set this sum apart for the education of one hundred Chinese youtbs annually in American universities.The field wag \u2018white unto harvest.\u2019 : : The way was also prepared.Foreign lands were open, and modern transportation obliterated the difficulties of reaching them.There was a goud prospect, said Jr.Goodwin, in conclusion, that in this generation everybody would hear the gospel of Christ.The chairman said sixty business men had volunteered to visit Foreign mission fields and to report.President Taft, who was formerly Govérnor of the Philip- pires, in a recent speech, said that before his residence in those islands he had not realized the importance of missions.\u2018The truth is,\u2019 he said, \u2018we have got to wake up.2, The mecting was closed by singing the hymn \u2018The morning light is breaking\u201d BLESSING AEROPLANES.The

the form of prayer to used.The Catholic liturgy has for come years past provided for the blessing of telegraphs and locomotives, but no form bas yet been adopted for aeronlanes, and the archbishop

the opinion that such training as that you are striving for ie of the highest valué* in developing the moral, physical and intellectual qualities of children, as well as that valuable quality known.as patriotism, and 1 am anxious to take part in the good work: which is being done in this direction.I write, therefore, to inform you that I am prepared to place at your disposal, or that of any competent body which you may be in a position to constitute, with the object of encouraging such training, the sum of $10,000 per annum.I would suggest that the fund which this sum will form might be designated as for \u201cthe encouragement of physical and military training in public schools,\u201d and that it should be administered by a body of trustees appointed for the purpose.I ehould be glad to know what your own proposals as to the constitution .of this body would be, but I think that the central committee might rhaps be composed somewhat as fol- ows: Yourself or the Minister of Mi- Jitia for the time being as president, the ministers who deal with education in the various provinces of the Dominion as vice-presidents, but subject to the condition that the province which each one represents has declared its adhesion to the principle agreed upon between the Department of Militia and the province of Nova Scotia, which was sanctioned and made applicable to the other provinces of the Dominion by the | orders in council of Aug.30, 1908.The executive council to be composed of: 1e The members of the Militia Council.Co \u2018(b) Representatives to be named by the ministers controlling education in the various provinces, two each for the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, and one each for the remaining provinces of the Dominion.\u2018(¢) The military officers comanding the commands and independent districts of the Dominion.\u2018Should His Excellency the Governor- General be disposed to become patron of the trust, ehould fee! especially honored by such action on his part, which would conduce very greatly to the success of the object which we have in view.I should also deem it an especial - honor if the Prime Minister, as evincing his approval, would consent to be vice-patron of the trust.While the fund as a whole should be administered,- and money grants allotted by the executive committee in general, proportionately to the school population of the- various provinces of the Dominion, it] would, think, be desirable that the administration of the grant within the several provinces should \u2018be made by local committees, appointed under the authority of the central committee, These local committees might be ecom- } posed, for example, of the milintary officer commanding the district as chairmah, three civil members, nominated by the Minister of Education for the province, and three military.mem- | | bers, nominated -by the Mini A nister : of Militia.While I attach the highest im- f quired thanks to Lord Strathcona.The letter :

all children of both sexes, I am particularly anxious that the especial value of military drill, including rifle shooting for boys capable of using rifles, should .be constantly borne in mind.My object ¥ not only to help to improve the physical and intellectual capabilities of the children by inculcating habits of alertness, orderliness and prompt obedience, but also to bring up the boys to patriotism, and to a realization that the first duty of a free citizen is to be prepared to defend his country.The Dominion at the present time, and for many years to come, can .hardly hope to.be able to give so long a period of training to her military forces as by iteelf would suffice to make them efficient soldiers; but if all boys had ac- a fair acquaintance while af .school with simple military drill and rifle shooting, the degree of efficiency | which could be reached in the other- i wise short period which can be devot- \u2018y ed to the military training of the Do- imnion forces would, in my Opinion, be enormously enhanced.\u2018I will only add that I should prefer, for the present at least, the whole of the money gramt should he devoted to those educational establishments which are maintained entirely out of public 1 I think, further, that the administration of the fund should be such as to enable both sexes, whether teachers or pupils, to share in the rewards, and that the allotments of monev should be so made as to afford an inducement both to the teachers to instruct and to the pupils to perfect themselves in the training desired.| lieve me, etc, \u2018STRATHCONA In a private letter to the Minister of Militia in connection with the matter Lord Strathcona stated that as soon es be wae notified of the acceptance of the offer he would forward a

promissory notes by removing the need to protest a note to hold the endorser liable when not paid at maturity.Senator Choquette argued in support of his legielation that the only reason for the protest system seemed to be to rovide a three-dollar protest fee to Danks and notaries in Quebec province.The Retail Merchants\u2019 Association, at its annual mecting, and the Quebec Board of Trade, had passed resolutions favoring the abolition of the protest.Senator Bolduc argued the present system was a protection against Jorgery.Senator Dandurand contended that te oblain a remedy Senator Choquette should go to the Quebec Legislature io have a smaller fee for -protest notice fixed.CL After several expressions of opinion in opposition to-the bill, Senator Landry moved the six

Mr.Fielding\u2019s resolution was placed in the handg of the members yesterday, and will he studied by those who propose to take part in the discussion which will con mence cn Tuesday next.The most interesting feature of the return is a letter from Mr.Hays in which he acts forth the\u2018 necessity, from the company\u2019s point of view, of the government advancing the ten million dollars loan.In the letter, which is dated Nov.18, 1908, Mr.Hays says that this sum has been found necessary over and above the bond issue of £2,100,000, tor the prairie section.Procceding he says In part: Owing to the depression in the money markets of both Europe and America, as respects this class of bonds, it is un- Jikely that we can sell these securities immediately or in the early future upon favorable terms.If thrown upon the money market, under unfavorable conditions, they would probably have to be sold at a sacrifice, which would materially diminish the amount to be realized from them, and might injuriously affect the credit of the two companies concerned.Under such circumstances, and in view of the urgent desire of the government that the enterprise shall be pro: secuted without any delay, we ask the government to cssist us in the utilizing of .the these bonds by taking them at their par value as a security for a loan not exceeding ten million dollars for a period not exceeding ten vears.\u2019 The necessity for a further issue of bonds, Mr.Hayg points out, arises from the fact that the estimate of thirteen thousand dollars per mile, as guarantee sufficient for the prairie section, has been found to be an error.Up to the pres ent time the cost has been $32,193,351, which is approximately $35.15] per mile, for the 916 miles completed.The sum of $24,989,743 had, on.Sept.3, 1908, been aid out, which leaves a balance of near- y_ten millions to be provided for.The return contains.a great deal of additional information in respect to Lhe Grand Trunk finances, including a list of the shareholders in the G.T.P.Com- any.This ehows that 249,000 shares ave been fully paid up for $24,900,000.CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE FRENCH CHAMBER SUGGESTS RE DUCTION OF POSTAGE TO

last night in the MA.A A.tank, no points were awarded owing to the fact that as eeveral prizes have been offered for the ecason's aggregate those in charge thought it better that all members should know of this and let all have a fair stant.On Wednesday evening, therefore, the first races for points will be held and ag- &regate scores will be counted as follow: Frist place, 3 points; eecond place, 2 points; third place, 1 point.In order to stimulate interest in the events prizes have been offered as follows: For the first aggregate prize, a sailver oup, presented by Mr.Louis Rubenste:n

to play with Regina this summer in the games for the Minto cup?In view of the raiding of the Eastern teams by the Regina Club, an answer to the question is now being awaited by lovers of lacrosse in Eastern Canada.The trustees announce that they will-not take action until the time calls for such, but notwithstanding this it is almost a certainty that they will make an important \u2018ruling before the matches at the Coast t \\ ne \u2018Last year when Westminster came Basi [after the cup, Shamrocks, with several of \u2018their men on the sick list, found themselves weak, They decided to strengthen, and the services of Laviolette, of the Nationals; Muir, of Montreal, and Nolan, of Montreal, were called in.None of these players had any games last year, but New Westminster, learning while on their way East what Shamrocks contemplated doing, immediately wired a protest to Trustee P.D.Ross, who made a ruling to the efiect that Laviolette, Nolan anu Muir were not eligible to play with Shamrocks in the N.L.U.last year, they could not quallfy for the cup games.Many maintain tbat in order to be consistent with their ruling of last year, the trustees must bar the Tecumseh players who are connected with a team which had also challenged for the silverware before Regina\u2019s application was accepted.Mr.Ross, when questicred as to what steps Will be taken, said: \u2018We don't croes bridges until we reach them.\u2019 That the New Westmiuster lacrosse club Will not enter protests against the action of the Regina club in signing up Eastern men is taken for granted by an officer of the Capitals, who rocelved a letter this week from a prominent New Westminster man, who is in the executive of the cup- holders.The Naw Westminster club, oc- cording to the letter in qeustion, believe that they can hold the Minto Cup against any team that could possibly be sent out from the East, and wil] register no kicks.ROYAL CANADIAN Y.C.\u2014 C.G.MARLATT, OF OAKVILLE, HAS

attended meeting of the Montreal and Distriot Amateur Cricker League last evening in the Carslake Hotel when important affairs were discussed, ohief amongst them being the enlargement of \u2018A\u2019 division of the league.The big clubs of \u2018A\u2019 division stated emphatically that they would not be able to continue their membership if \u2018A\u2019 divizon wes enlarged to take in more than &X clubs.There was a good dea.of discussion on the point, and it was finally de- oided to settle the matter by ballo:.As a result of the Point St.Oharles changes places with Valleyfield, the former going into \u2018B\u2019 division, while Valleyflald moves into \u2018A\u2019 division, the divisions determined ty the ballot being: Two new clubs were admitted to the league.\u2018They are Verdun

Victoria, Lachine and Valleyfield.\u2018B' Divislon\u2014Point St.Charles, Domin- jon Cotton Mills, Westmount II, Verdun and Yorkshire Society.To avoid discussion in.future years with regard to the division of the league, some of the delegates were in favor of making a hard and fast rule that the team which headed \u2018B' division should go up into \u2018A,\u2019 and the tailender in 'A' should drop back into \u2018B.\u2019_ Finally, however, the following amendment was made to by-law No.2: \u2018That the league shall consiet of two divisions, \u2018A\u2019 and \u2018B,' the division of wh'on is to be decided by ballot at the finst general meeting of the year, the number of clubs in each division to be decided prior to the ballots being taken.\u2019 In the absence of Mr.A.B.Wood, president, the chair was occupied by Mr.S.E.Harris.First Vice-President, Mr.A.J.Hodgeon baving declined to agatin accept the position of honorary president of the league, Mr.Gilbert Ferrabee, who is a past president, was unanimously elected to succeed Mr.Hodgson.A high tribute was paid by members of the committee to the warm support given the league by the retiring honorary president.Mr, W.8.Walker, who for many years was a warm eupport- er of the Longueuil C.C., and who has always evinced a keen interest in cricket, \u2018was unanimously elected an honorary vice» oreeident.The Cote St.Paul Club has unfortunately been obliged to disband, as they have lost a large number of their old players, and are aleo, like many another club, confronted with the ground problem.No application has yet been received from the Osborne C.C.If there are any other clubs wishing to join the league they are asked to send in their application at once to the secretary, W.E.Hansford, 371 Legnsdowne avenue, Westmount.The following were present at the meeting: G.Ferrabee, hon.president: John Duthie, past president; Seth E.Harris, 1st vice-president (In the chair); W.C.Baber, 2nd vice-president;

12, open to all Canada.Invitations will be forwarded to Montreal and other points, and it is ex- peoted that a large number of outsiders will come to the capital and take part.The decision of the

yet, frightsome as it Was, each time it was longer of coming he feared lest it should not come again.He tried to get water down her throat, but she beat it blindly out of his hands.The dreadful appeal of the straining blue eves unnerved him.He would have cut off his night hand to give her breath, but this that had got hold of her was beyond him, and he could do nothing but stand and watch the unequal fight as it dragged slowly to its end.He clenched his useless - hands till the nails ran into the palms.He ground his teeth in agony.His lips retracted, his face crumpled up.He held his breath and his tortured heart in suspense, while each hard round was fought out, and only: breathed again when the little sufferer had a moment\u2019s respite.The horses outside, under their soaked canvas shelters, stamped uneasily as though aware of the Presence.The rain beat heavily on the roof and poured down from the eaves in a monotonous babble of melancholy little voices.Baby Stepan woke up and joined his lusty pipe to the unac- ther loked solemnly down upon it all from his corner by the holy images.How long that grim struggle against overpawering odds lasted, Stepan did not know.Each slow moment was a long-drawn agony to him, for life and death were in each one.But suddenly \u2018the rain, which had customed noise, and the little white bro- travelling, and finally settled on one, Flizabeth Volskaia, who lived in Zarm.He knew her to be a kind-hearted, inoth- erly soul, and he remembered that sne had mot Jong since lost 2 child of her cwn, and he thought she would Le good to the motherless one for sake of the one she had lost.Ile journeyed straight to that village, made arrangements with her, and us last sight of his boy, when he drove away, was of him jumping in Elizabeth Volekaia\u2019s arms, and clapping and crowing at sight of a drove of little pigs which were squeaking and scrambling about their prostrate mother in the roadway.; The little white brother he took with him, because little Katenka had loved him, and row he was a very lonely man.(To be Continued.) CHILDREN'S CORNER.AT WHOSE HOME.A beautiful little canary came flying by and settled down on a branch of the honey-suckle.\u2018I\u2019m so 'tired,\u201d he said.\u2018I haven\u2019t found a really happy home yet.Im quite sure, though, that no one wculd be unkind or unhappy in such a charming place as this.I think I'l make my home here.\u2019 But just then a dog came round the corner of the porch, hmpimg and crying, for a boy was running after him, striking him cruelly with a big stick.\u2018Oh, oh!\u201d said the bird, and away he flew.\u2018I couldn\u2019t stay there.\u2018That boy would surely be unkind to me.\u201d And he flew to a window sill of a fine stone house in a beautiful garden.What a lovely home! I'm gure I can stay here\u201d But there were sonnds of crying from the room within, and, peeping in, he saw two little sisters quarrelling over a doll.\u2018Let go! That\u2019s my doll! No, vou shan\u2019t have it! I want to play with it;\u2019 and in the struggle the poor little doll was pulled to pieces.\u2018Dear!

he declared that there had been irregularities in the Township of Howard, in Argenteuil County, and explained the matter before the House in its most minute details, and after he was through the remainder of the sitting was taken up with Mr.Lavergne\u2019s bill to amend the Civil Code respecting contracts made with public utility companies.The first items on the order list eon- sidered to-day were the questions, end Mr.Speaker Pelletier declared that two questions, asked by Mr, Sauvé, were out of order; one was relative to the imposing of the uniformity of school books, while the other was in connection with the abolition of the Legislative Council in this province.In both questions reference was made to promises made by the Hon.Mr.Marchand, former Premier of the province, which, aecordiag to clause 29, of the parliamentary rules, the Speaker declared was out of order.Rights almost equal to those enjoysd by the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company for the erection of poles and the free use of Montreal streets before conduits are laid, were finally accorded the Canadian Light & Power Company to-night, after the latter company\u2019s bili had passed through the throes of two and a half hours\u2019 additional discussion.There is only this significant difference between the powers of the two companies: that the Canadian Power Company is engaged to bury its wires in the - business part of the city without in- \u201c,demnity if the city is ready with its conduits inside of five years, whereas the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company\u2019s present rights would have to be expropriated.There is also an anti- amalgamation amendraent, by which the Canadian Power Company is prevented from selling its rights to the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company.Mr.Prevost\u2019s attack on the colonization department began by an \u201corder ior copies of all correspondence, location tickets and other-documents connected with the concession of lot 15 in the seventh range of the Township of Howard, in the County of Argenteuil.Mr.Prevost spared no details, and went into the transaction completely.He was not satisfie& with the information which he received from the lion.Mr.Caron, and promised that he would disprove the statements made by.Mr, \u2018Caron, declaring that if the documents produced from the Department of Crown Lands were not complete that he would complete them with documents which he had in his possession, and he promised to show wherein the colonization system was wanting.: When Mr, Prevost had terminated his speech the motion: to produce the doc: ments asked for way adopted.M.LAVERGNES PUBLIC UTILITY MÉASURE.Mr.Lavergne\u2019s bill to amend the Civil Code respeeting contracts made with public utility companies was also the object of cunsiderable debate.The - clauses contained im the bill are as follows:\u2014 \u2018 .| ( fa) Every contract \u201centered into in this province, with railway companies, (b).If both the contracting parties speak the English language, or if both the contracting parties speak the French language, they may escape such nullity by making an express declaration to that effect in the body of the contract.(c).In case of difference of meaning between the two texts, the text in the language of the party other than the company of public utility service, shall be preferred.(d).Such contracts shall include travellers\u2019 tickets.bills of lading, baggage checks, printed telegraph forms, contract forms, commutation ticket books, and nctices or regulations posted in stations, carriages, offices, factories or workshops of such companies or public services.Mr.Lavergne said that the principle of the bill was already well known.It was of similar nature to tne one introduced at Ottawa last year, the vetition fo: whic}, had been signed by five or six hundred English and French-Canadians.It bad beep unanimously passed in second reading, and would have been read a third time and adopted but for the large number oi meaeures which had to be attended to and it was in consequence crowded out.The object of the measure, the speaker declared, was to oblige companies of public utility to have their contracts, agree\u201d ments, etc, printed in both the English and French languages in order that the misunderstandings which too often arose, through people signing contracts whicn they did not understand, might be alleviated, contracts by which companies direngaged themselves from all responsibility,.and when not understood by par- Lies doing business with such companies were frequently the cause of serious difficulties.\\ Mr.Taschereau was of the opinion that Mr.Lavergne\u2019s bill would be more appropriate as an amendment to the law governing railways, transport companies and the like than as an amendment to the Civil Code.Mr.Lavergne wished to have the bill read a second time, and said that he would be agreeable to amending it when .it would be discussed in committee.He declared that it was only in the province of Quebec where the Canadians had s0 little pride of heart that the present condition would be tolerated.' Mr.Taschereau declared that he was just as proud of hie race as the member for Montmagny was, and when he wished to protect his own he wished to do so in an.efficacious manner.He considered that the bill was not in ite nlace.Mr.Mousseau, of Soulanges, expressed the hope that when the member for Montmagny would support his bill in committee he might express himself in more correct French than he had done in the bill.He was not opposed to the principle of the bill, Mr.Mousseau said.and he hoped that the member for Montmagny would give the members the necessary assistance to prepare the measure properly when it would come up for consideration in committee, : Mr.Tellier also joined in the debate, but only for a short while.as the House rose for recess almost immediately after he began to speak.He, however, invited Mr.Mousseau to be present before the Legislation Commit tee.of which he was a member.in order that the bill might be drawm out according to that principle which he favored.He was surprised at the Minister of Public Works admitting that the bill was to abolish an abuse and still opposing its insertion.in the Civil Code.CANADIAN LIGHT AND POWER CO.; When the Power Bill was first taken up at the beginning of the evening session, Mr.Bourassa had fhe floor first.He confined his attemtién \u2018entirely \u201cto Montreal and to the subject of .under ground conduits.Wbat he wanted changed by the amendment which he proposed was that the company should, without any indemnity, remove its overhead wires as soon as the city was ready with underground conduits.His telegraph companies, telephone companies, transportation or arr com- anies, and with every public utility ser- Les all be made in the English and French languages.Pa a 7 w TREE SES à 2200 a | amendment was to change the section of \u2018was: Where, in view of the the bill adopted in the Private Bills Committee with the consent of the Montreal aldermen present to the effect that the company was to receive no indemnity for laying wires in underground conduits in the business portion and other principal streets of the city, but that for the rest of the city the company was to receive such indemnity as might be agreed upon in regard to it and other companies, \u2018l'his indemnity was to be received only tor poles erected two or more years prior to the interring of the wires.Mr.Bourassa combated the latter bargain as agreed to in the Private Bills Committee, because the burial of wires for which the company was to receive no indemnity inside the next five years cnly applied to a small part of {Le city, about \"one-tenth of the area of Montreal.Mr.Bourassa reminded the members that Montreal had appointed an expert commission to study the subject of underground conduits.That commission had prepared a report showing that the telegraph and telephone companies were ready to accept the principle of underground conduits, but that the Montreal Light, Heat & Power would stand by its acquired privileges.The commission had found that the position of the M.L.H.& P.constituted a danger to the public and recommended an amendment to the city charter so that no company would in the future have the right to plant poles and that the council should not extend such a right.It now remained to be seen, said Mr.Bourassa, if they were going to continue the old system and place an additional burden upon the city against the opinion of an impartial commission.They were now going to extend new privileges to another company simply becaume exorbitant privileges had been granted to one company.The general article of the present bill opened the doors to all possible difficulties.= - Mr.Bourassa certainly took with the galleries while describing the dangers to firemen owing to the existing mass of overhead wires, which would now be increased.The serious question which he raised tangled wires and crowded poles in the city, could room be found for those of the Canadian Power Company, the Sara- guay and other companies?He wanted the- Canadian Company to enter Montreal, but he wanted it arranged in a way to protect the people He did not the Premier and him to be raised while considering his amendment, proposing no indemnity to the company when the company removed its overhead wires at the time the city would construct underground conduits, *.Sir Lomer Gouin, in reply, eaid he agreed absolutely with r.Bourassa regarding underground conduits < being necessary.Mr.Bourassa, however, was unjust to the Montreal aldermen, who were preparing a bill concerning underground -conduits.He was ready to support such a bill, which would apply the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Co.The Canadian Power Company had now consented to spend money in the commercial quarter of Montreal, and inside of five years, on demand of tha city, to remove its poles and\u2019 wires from that part of the city without Indemnity, and this notwithstanding the fact that the independent commission appointed had favored an indemnity to the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Co.The city of Montreal had never received such a good bargain, and the*\"\u201cMontreal aldermanic delegation had \u201cagreed to it as business men.If such men as Mr.Bourasea continued to place obstacles in the way of such ä company as the present, he feared that in five years there would be no underground conduits in Montreal.(Hear, hear.) The Premier then said he would not go eo far as to ask the company to bury its wires in the entire citv without indemnity, when the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Co.would receive one, and he declared that he had asked the Montreal delegation -to support the present bargain.What he was favoring.he considered in the best interests of Montreal.When he had finished Mr.Bourassa summarized the Premiers argument as follows: .\u2018In 1901 I was right and the majority wrong.Now I am going to do what the majority did in 1901.2 amendment, which was lost on an -al- most straight party vote, only 11 voting for it, among these being Mr.C.E.Gault.\u2018Mr.Cousineau did not vote, because said he was interested, Mr.Tellier next proposed Lis amendment regarding expropriation cf transmission lines as follows: \u2018The company is authorized to ex- \u2018propriate the land or the right of way present | want any question of animosity between ed and answered, pear :\u2014 to the Canadian Power Company as to Then came the vote on Mr.Bourassa's | the cipality before extending its lines, but this should not apply to the island of Montreal nor in the counties of Beau- harnois or Chateauguay.In case the municipalities would not give consent the company was authorized to expropriate.Mr.Tellier was glad Mr.Langlois admitted his principle, but wanted to know why exceptions had been made.Sir Lomer Gouin asked the Opposition leader if he thought it reasonable to expect the company to ask every municipality for leave to pass before entering Montreal.He did not think so.He was in favor of giving the company the right of expropriation.Mr.Prevost said he was in favor of Mr.Tellier\u2019s defeated amendment rather than that of Mr.Langlois, Mr.Cousineau thought all such amendments defeated their purpose.Vote was taken on Mr.Langlois's amendment, which was carried by 39 to 10, the Opposition members present forming the minority.Next came Mr.Geoffrion\u2019s amenda- ment in favor of Westmount, which was carried unanimously.It read:\u2014 \u2018The company, before using the streets, Janes, etc., of Westmount, so lonz as not annexed to Montreal, must obtain the previous consent of the council, but the council shall permit the construction over a route designated of a vrans- mission line traversing the municipality in order to reach a neighboring municipality.\u2019 Mr.Langlois then started to read a proposed anti-amalgamation amendment.Mr.Tellier said he was surprised at Mr.Langlois reading it, as the Premier had promised to prepare that amendment.Mr.Langlois's amendment was to the effect that the Canadian Power Company could not buy the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company.Mr.Tellier said he was not to be deceived by any such amendment as that.What he wanted was exactly the opposite, that the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company should not buy the Canadian Company.Mr.Galipeau (Bellechasse).said he was against all such amendments, a3 they were \u2018impractical.They could not prevent shareholders from selling their shares and others from buying *hem.The Premier finally agreed to propose the following anti-amalgamation amendment: \u201cThe company shall not sell.rent, or alienate any of its rights or franchises conferred upon it by its charter or amendments thereto to the Montreal Light, Heat & Power Company or to any of the companies affiliated to it, nor to amalgamate either directly or indirectly with any of the said companies.\u2019 Mr.Bourassa wanted to know why the Premier had not done this in the first place.This closed the discussion.All these amendments passed, however, have to be read a second time to-mor- row, after which they can be immediately concurred in and the bill passed.It is possible that Mr.Tellier may have still another amendment to propose tomorrow.- Mr.Langlois afterwards introduced the Montreal Jockey Club Bill, which has the object of transferring the charter of a Dominion club to that of a provincial one.He said he would explain it in full later.The bills to incorporate the village of Shawbridge, and to amend the charter of Rosemount were finally passed, after which the House adjourned.Among the number of questions ask- the following ap- Mr.Plante.\u20141.Has the corporation of the School of Higher Commercial Studies received any plana for the construction of a school for

\u2014In the House of Commons to-day Sir Jdward Grey, Foreign Secretary, made a noteworthy statement regarding the Kings visils abroad, in relatioh to the British foreign policy.Mr.Macneill had raised the question as a constitutional one, complaining of the King going abroad with the Foreign Minister in attendance.Sir Edward Grey ridiculing the complaint, said that no sovereign had adhered more closelv, rigidly and consistently to constitutional practice than the present King.\u2018The King's visits abroad.\u201d he added, \u2018have been exceedingly valuable to the foreign policy of this country.They have been epecially valuable for the reason that the King in his own person had a special gift, which 1 believe has never been exceeded, of conveying to the government and people of the country to which he goes the 1mpres- sion of the good will of this country towards them.It is a great national asset that our eovereign by his presence in foreign capitals should have contributed 60 much to smooth relations between ourselves and neighboring countries.The benefits of these visits are not, however, exhausted by making them special occasions for special diplomatic work.I assure the House that the King has not departed from constitutional usage.ON ACCEPTANCE OF NEW ZEALAND'S OFFER.London, March 24.\u2014In announcing in the House of Commons to-dav the acceptance of New Zealand's

United States for the transportation of grain to the coast for export, and within the next few days the American reduced rate will be met by a reduction on this side which wall be cheaper for the shippers.Following the example of the Montreal Transportation Company, Mr.J.W.Loud, freight traffic manager of the Grand Trunk, makes the announcement that that road will reduce their rate on grain from Georgian Bay points to Montreal to four cents.It is also believed that Canadian carrlers will reduce their rates by the St.Lawrence route from Fort, William to Montreal to five cents, which will mean that it will be cheaper by one cent to send wheat via St.Lawrence than it will be to exnort it per American roads which charge over six cents for carriage through Buffalo to New York.Mr.Francis King, the secretary ot the Dominion Marine Association, states that the asssociation will do ail it can to aid in making the St.Lawrence route the cheapest to the ocean.OBITUARY AVON -SAXTOX, Berwick,
