HIS EXCELLENCY READ THE SPEECH FROM THRONE. '| Reference to the Progress Canada | is Making in Wealth and Pros- perity--The Increased Revenue of the Country. Ottawa, May 15.--The house of com mons was finally prorogued by lord Minto, this afternoon. The speech from the throne was brief expressing gratitutle for general prosperity. Tt was as follows : Honorable gentlemen gentlemen the mons ; In relieving you from further at tendance in parliament, 1 desire to thank you for the care and attention given to your important duties. The unusual number of acts that have passed incorporating industrial and railway companies may be taken ax an evidence of the rapid progress that Canada in making in wealth and pros perity. Further proof of that satis factory condition is afforded by in- creased revenue of the country. The agreement entered into with the Can- adian Pacific railway company, when authorizing an increase of its capital to expend over nine million dollars in providing additional rolling stock, will, it is hoped, materially diminish in the future the serious losses that have arisen from the insufficient sup- ply of cars to carry the products of the west to eastern ports. The amendments made to Manitoba, authorizing the farmers in Manitoba and in the north-west territories to erect flat warchouses for storing grain at railways, will, it is believed, be found to serve useful purposes and leieat any attempt to depress prices by combinations. The growing population in the Ya kon territory and the rapid develop ment in the trade of that section of Canada amply justify the act granting to its residents a representative in parliament who will be authorized to speak for his constituency in all mat ters affording the more important in- terests of that remote part of the do minion, Gentlemen of the house of commons, I thank you in his majesty's name for the liberal supplies you have granted for the public service. Honorable gentlemen of senate, gentlemen of the house of commons, in bidding you farewell, I desire to ex press the hope that when we meet next year we shall be able to again re tire in the continued prosperity which now prevails over this wide dominion. of the senate, of house of com: -------- VENEERED WITH BUTTER.
