He stated the C.P.R. had nothing what ever to du with the steamship matter. in a general way he thought it would be a good thing for the steamship lines to go into some arrangement of that kind on account of the benefit of better rates and the elimination of ruinous competition. The Elder-Demp- ster stegmship people here say they would not be surprised if womething of that kind wes attempted. Miss Generoux, a relative of the pro- prietor of the Bellevue hotel, on Notre Dame street, adjoining the hospital of the same name, was asphyxiated last night by gas escaping from a defective furnace pipe.

The chancellor, in replying, pointed out that the deputation re presented solely wheat flour, and that it was impossible to consider the grain and meal duties entirely from that view paint, It was impractic- able, in imposing duties on grain, to differentiate between grains. The ime ports of flour col red with the im- ports of wheat ov eins enormously in recent years, and he did not think it was to the benefit of the people of the country. He bad reduced the du- ty on offals, so that the importers were 'now better off than under the late Mr. Gladstone's tax, and he dounbtea whether they were entitled to further advantages.
