Mr. Hyman, in moving for pa . lating to the locality for noes the camp of Militia District No. 1 for 1890 and 1891, ssid that if the camp was held in my other place than London an injustice was being done to that city.

Mr. Mills bad not taken his point well, that the House bad not been informed that Avy negotiations had taken place or were to be entered u been feloene’ in the speech from the throne that negotiations had been entered upon, and that they were to becontinued.
