OPPOSITION.Toronto, March 18.\u2014A sharp exchange between Premier Whitney and the Op- «ition over the question of \"Toronto | niversity developed during the budget del ote in the legislature this afternoon.The debate was continued by Col.At- sinson (Liberal, North Norfolk), after w.ich it was the intention of the govern- munz that the debate should close with speech by Mr.Pattinson (Conservative, Waterloo).However, Allan Studholme, ine Labor party, interrupted this plan iy rising, holding the floor until six and then continuing into the evening sitting.A very important report prepared b the Railway and Municipal Board on the ismous Conmee clauses of the Municipal Act was submitted by Premier Whitney.it is very strongly in favor of the Cun- mee Act.It points out that private corporations embarked in public utilities at a time when municipalities would not do so because they could not make it pay.Municipalities, the report points out, were perfectly satisfied to permit the companies té operate utilities in lean jar, but as soon as they commence to ome remuflerative the municipalities want to go ¥to the business themselves.The report continues: \u2018The Copmee clauses were designed to prevent the duplication of gas, electric ight or waterworks, and thercby the 1uin of the companies, who had embark- vd their money In installing these ultili- ties.The board are aware that in several instances these clauses have effected this purpose and prevented a serious loss of invested capital.\u2018The board cannot see any good reason at present for repealing these clauses.\u2018There arc no obstacles in the way of municipal ownership.They are a barrier to prevent the spoliation of the companies, who in good faith in a spirit of enterprise.expecting no dividends at first, ut hoping after the lapse of some years to get a fair return on their investment.\" clauses provide a means of acquiring existing works at their actual value, making due allowance for depredation, wear and tear, but ing noth- ng for prospestive profits on franchise, Ha ; i ixcone.of installing an electric light, fas -&F waterworks where a company is already in the field, operating these -utilities it appears to the board that it is more in the interests of municipalities to acquire the existing works on fair terms than to duplicate them and meet æ competition that might render the operation of a municipal plant unprofitable and thereby compel the municipality to use the fonds at large to make up the loes in an unremunerative business.\u2019 TORONTO UNIVERSITY.Col.Atkinson (Liberal, North Nor- afolk) resumed the budget \u2018debate by reiterating his position on the subject of priso labor and railway taxation.Gong on to criticise the handling of university finances, he drew Premier Whit- xy and precipitated a sharp alterca- ion .\u2018Why didn\u2019t the honorable member Dlace himself on record last gession when the bill wag up?asked Premier Whitney, interrupting criticism.T0 \u2018Yes, there was a good deal said,\u2019 re- Pied Col.Atkinson.; À good deal said and little done by the Opposition,\u2019 retorted the Premier.The time has arrived when the frank admission of the government by what Ya done last session for the Toronto niversity was done by both sides can Doglnger and will no longer be made.The time has arrived when the govern- Ment cannot admit on the platform that | the Opposition was in sympathy with it.\u2019 T said then, and I say now, declared: I.Graham, leader of the Opposition, breaking into the discussion, \u2018that I was \u2018Pposed to having the succession duties Ceres Mr.Whi \u2018 marked e hitney\u2014\u2018They yr.Graham\u2014T said 1 was opposed to aving them ed in any way\u2014or *hatever fou like to call it\u2014and I say still We are willing to give the uni- Yeraity all the money it required.\u2019 Then the Hon.A.G.Mackay took a land.\u2018As à graduate of the university à public man,\u2019 he declared, \u2018I am are not ear- nd a Villing to vote all the money it requires wo long as its business is done in the pren.in the daylight, and pot with Jared doors, and if the government &nts to take a fall on that point they oa have it as soon as they like.The vient the governors say they are going 0 spend thousands of dollars behind Jarred doors and in secret, then I say ey are wrong.\u2019 mena is not so, and tbe honorable ar en Jaze not say it is,\u2019 interjected *.Whitney, : ek the press are excluded,\u2019 said Mr.That is different,\u2019 said the Premier.ang\u2019 long as the governors handle money bas Sar.the doors I am opposed to it, ou.elieving the university is the arch keystone of our educational system, m prepared to vote whatever funds mar be necessary.\u2019 a, Whitney closed the incident by de- 4 \u2018tng Mr.Mackay had tried to Tnite \"e university om every occasion.folio Bt:0uiDg the debate, Mr.Atkinson = \u2018owed up Mr.Mackay's line of*argu- airy On the same proportion as Toto, Queen's University should get at least $50,000.Mr.Matheson interrupted to say they were asking for $155,000.PRISON LABOR.Mr.Allan Studholme (Labor.East Hamilton) followed.He discussed prison labor and government ownership at some length, and then reverted to himself.\u2018If it may be admitted for the sake of argument that I have spoken too often\u2014though I don\u2019t think I have\u2014 (Hear, hear, and applause.) , Mr.Studholme said he had been told m a kindly way that a new member should be seen and not heard.\u2018But,\u2019 he desired to point out, \u2018on the other side there are sixty Conservatives, and they don\u2019t need to talk.The government can say it all, and they can sit st\u2019ll and think thoughts.\u2019 Likewise for the Opposition, Mr.Graham and \u2018that fellow there\u2019 (Mr.Mac- kay) were quite capable of saying it all.\u2018But I,\u201d he went on gravely, \u2018am here alonc for a great party of workers all over this province, and I do not think I should be called to task for speaking for the workingmen.\u2019 Incidentally he pointed out that the old parties were fond of talking about the workingman when they wanted his vote.Mr.G.Pattinson (Conservative, Waterloo) followed Mr.Studholme.\u2018This concluded the debate, and the budget passed without division.The House then went into committee.NOTED AUTHOR DEAD.Thomas Bailey Aldrich Passes Away at Boston.Boston, March 19.\u2014Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the noted author, died at his home in this city late

protest in order to reserve to the city all the rights and advantages under the contract.Ald.Lariviere moved, and Ald, Cleari- \u2018hue seconded, that the letter be sent back to the law department with an, intimation that full instructions were contained in the council» resolution of \u2018March 11.; Ald.Lapointe thought the attitude of the city attorneys was correct, and he told Ald.Clearihue-that he was afraid to.instruct the attorneys.to protest the company.: .Ald.- Clearibue warmly - protested against \u2018being called a coward: The difference turned on\u2019the _significance of the word \u2018peureux,\u2019 which Ald.Clearihue understood to mean.\u2018coward.\"Ald.Lapointe said that was pot the and certainly it \u201c\u2026 Ald.Clearihue was satisfied with the Janation.A J 2, n the eourse of further discussion it l'appeared that the city attorney had writ- once.The urgency of action was the | condition of the loan.If, however, the || a ?would | In not be the part of Wisdom to limit their |.s{£raçt, and that lied - Jhe- would.not take the.responsibility of Ca advising that course, as p aa left the meeting | ® CHILDREN, WHO J COVERED -WITH - SORES | WERE - - uloers, etc., spread from child in Burk\u2019s hands and feet, ulcers, oto.skin disease had defied all the salves I mark of disease on their skin.For Wonderful Zam-Buk Triumph!

railway was fairly well appeased.And now the city is to bear, ostensibly -the half\u2014competént- authorities say much: more than the Whole\u2014of the cost of enabling the railway not to kill people, to eay nothing of what the government is \u201cgoing to give the company.Some years ago the company asked the city that to raise its tracks.The aldermen talked of offering half a million, and.it is confidently believed that if fhe council -had- taken that ground firmly the company would have counted that it had made a good haul.-.Now it is apparently to get.two millions from the city and two from the government for precisely the \u2018same thing.Is it the company that.is.going to have this benefit, or who ?» 5.\u201c .\u201c : S\u2014\u2014\u2014 - 7 * = stocks aie to be picked up at a rate that\u2018 will retirn a good rate of interest, and the wonder.is that so much money is stitl Jeit in the-banks on a three percent in- terest-bearing besis.In the (Canadian chartered.banks last month the intereste which would: \u2018give: an annual return: of thivee percent rate, an amount which could be at least doubled by investment \u2018On the tharket.\u2018During the slump in New York: last week shares of sterling giltedged stocks, could be picked up stiowing a return of from eix to nine and \u2018tén percent, while on our own market bank \u201cstocks, on Friday were returning on an average over four and a half percent;

In the \u2018month of January, last year, the creditors grew suspicious of the firm's operations, and upon investigation, had \u2018Chaille and Fri- gon arrested on a charge of conspiracy to defraud.Chaille subsequently jumped his $800 bail, and is now a fugitive from justice, while the trial of his partner was postponed from time to time until the present term.- The evidence showed thai the firm\u2019s liabilities amounted to $7,000, while the assets that were seized by the creditors realized only eighty dollars.Miss Nadeau, who acted as cashier in the store, deposed that she balanced the accounts every night, and that she remitted the cash to Chaille, who placed it in his et.Mr.Rodolphe Monty, of the firm of Monty & Duranleau, who represents some of the creditors, is.assisting Messrs.Hib- bard and Lafortune, the Crown prosecutors, while the accused is defended by Mr.Pamphyle du Tremblay and Mr.Errol Languedoc, of the.firm: of Green- shields, Greenshields & :Linguedoc.The trial promises tobe &.lengthy one, as there are a large number of witnesses to be examined.= - .\" RAILWAY FARES Cor Ae - FORCED REDUCTIONS RESULT IN WITHDRAWAL OF EXCURSION : RATES: The railways identified with the Central Passenger Association, comprising all of the principal transportation lines east of Chicago, St.Louis to Pittsburg, Buffalo, etc., announce that commencing on April 1, 1907, they will discontinue to institute or participate in certificate plan fares as hergtofore for meetings, conventions, she.This is the natural result of the fo \u2018reductions in the :maximum passenger fare.which a numbér-of the states have racently inaugurated.The railways have steadily contended that if the maximum rates are reduced, the excursion fares and other privileges would have to .be withdrawn, and the action of the Central Passenger Assicia- tion is entirely consistent with the position which the railways announced in advance; in \u201cother words, they- cannot afford to have theiy maximum farés reduced for transient travellers and at the same time continue to grant special reduced fares for \u2018delegates to \u201cincetings,- conventions, etc.: SEIZU SET ASIDE.At the close'of the Montreal engagement of the \u2018Lovers and Lunatics\u2019 production, four of the chorus girls caused a seizure to be placéd on the chattels of the company, \u2018on\u2019 the ground that the proprietors refused to gay their fares back to New York.esterday Mr.Justice Archibald annulled that seizure on the ground that in making preparations to remove their property to Ottawa, where performances were to be given, the owners of the production had no fraudulent intent, Glad HR a Pa RECIPROCITY.Mr.H.N.Holmes, general secretary of the Y.M.C.A.at Wellington, New Zealand, is at present on a visit to He is taking a six months\u2019 tour in Canada and the United States Holmes has already crossed the United C.A.work much more developed here work has taken ry, however, he has been subscribed.towards erecting church, is attracting a good deal of at-.was: before \u201ctid Court of King\u2019s\u2019 Bench: .WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, j147 \u2014 ADDRESSED McGILL STUDENTS, DR.GRENFELL TELLS Of -1\\j Lk ESTING CONDITIONS «4 LABRADOR COAST.Dr.Wilfrid T.Grenfell visi.uM Unmversity yesterday atiernoon \"7 dressed 4 large galbermng op I.> dents in the Umou, upon 1- U Work in Labrador.he expan .his medical propiem had veew 1 first, there was the need ui 4 fi und then there had been no ni.get the patients wo tne vutding ;, lhe straggiing, scattered fishing + Lun The cnivf causes of sickness i op Labrador cousi were nol, as so Maly supposed, the bitter coid and tu dat weather, but rather a lack of jp.food, coupled with an absence a TE knowledge of everyday laws of ve à and sanitation.* The simple fish, to believed ail they had to combat vez cold, and shut out ail possivie au 1.their rough shacks, nearly SIG -untortunate sick one under L bed clothes, skins and rugs.Thew tor they were filled with a deep-seated ny;
