MILLBROOK, ONTARIO Tho clause in the British budget relat- ing to death duties extending to proper- ties held in the colonies is receiving con- siderable attention in Canada, and may detrimenmlly affect Britiéh investments in Canadian securities, especially in On- tario, where a. similar duty is levied. This will result m a double taxation, and, ,Eis pointed out, will tend. to discourage olonial investments. A reciprocal elim- ef such tax has been SDI'I'ustm ’ f considcxatiour tbw ‘ itul' 1888, when thirty-five cattle were destroy- ed, says: “These cattle were kept in a, new barn built only after careful study into every detail. Stables were light and clean. \Vater was supplied in each stall. Even the most rigorous snap of a. Berk- shire winter failed to produce a. freezing temperature in these stables, and [ordays at a. time thc-Se cows remained inside, where they were well groomed and sup- plied with the best of feed and water. The warmth and comfort of these stables- seemed to provide hot-bed conditions for the nurture of the tuberculous bacilli. Berkshire County has had at least six serious outbreaks, or rather develop- ments, of tuberculosis since, all of which have occurred in herds of cows kept in costly barns of modern construction, with the best of care, and I know of no in- stance where cattle left to ‘ rough it‘ have been troubled except in isolated cases, which were easily traceable to here- ditary inoculation.” Evidence multiplies to sustain the be- lief that tuberculosis is developed most readily in ngm modern stables and un- der what may be called hot-house con- ditions. A writer in Country Gentleman. in speaking of a. case at Lonox, M11532, in use, nntz «.mly for the armor of warships. but fur the strengthening of land fortifi- cations as well. It is reported from Ottawa that the Government of the United States has in contemplation the erection of extensive works for the smelting of nickel ores, which will give a great impulse to min- ing in the Sudbury district. The Ameri- can Government, it is said, will locate their works somewhere in the State of New York, near the international bound- ary. It has been ascertained that in the extraction of nickel from the matter a very valuable constituent is lost. and the American Govermncnt sent an expert metallurgist to Germany, where for six months he studied the processes there cin- ployod forthe production of nickel. His investigation resulted in the discovery that to obtain the highest quality ol nickel it is necessary that it be extracted directly from the 01“, and without the intermediate process to which it has been subjected on this continent. So satisfac- tory has been the results that under the new process the Government at “Wash- ington recently obtained from Con- ‘ gross an appropriation for the purchase ol 8. suitable site, and it is said to be their intention shortly to erect works for the treatment of ore by the direct method at a cost of probably a million dollars. In all probability the Works will be located as stated near the international bound- ary, since the supply of ore must be drawn direct from the Canadian nickel deposits. This action of the United States Government is taken in mining circles to indicate an immense revival in the very near future of the nickel mining industry in the Sudbury district. Tests made recently with plate composed in part of nickel produced by the new pro- css have been so satisfactory that there can be no doubt that the authorities at \Vashington contemplate its extensive Week’s Commercial Sunnnarr. The most sanguine do not at. present, under existing circumstances, look for any great aelivii. , but on the other hand no panic or general paralyris is feared with our great reeupcrative resources in the hands of our conservative merchants and bankers, as well as our frugal farin- ers and general citizens. The number ofi failures continues large as compared with recent years, but fortunately the average of liabilities is reduced, and there has been recently no change of consequem-e in the prices of products. The country seems to have adjusted itself to the pl'm- out situation, and is producing no more than sufficient to supply current needs, which are greatly reduced in volume, nor are importers ordering as freely as forni~ erly, which certainly will render the pro- cesscf liquidation more comfortable for them, and eventually more satisfactory to all concerned. There is new a ten‘4 dcncy on all hands to do lmsiness with smaller stocks, and sorting orders are re- ceiving relatively more attention. The low level of prices that prevails renders Canada a favorite market, and consu- quently our exports continue large. The strength shown here, howewr, is not a matter of special qualification, as we are selling in many cases at less than cost. All these indications point clearly to one conclusion, and that is that business in- terests have been in a state of suspense because of a well settled feelingoi un- certainty, which in some respects ought to be eliminated in the near future. As soon as the uncertainty has been remov- ed there can hardly fail to be a revival in manufacturing, etc., for the simple rea- son that the present stagnation is too pronounced for the causes underlying it in Canada to last long. There is nothing radically wrong with the country, and as soon as our best customers and patrons improve their own even more depressing financial and industrial condition there is nothing to hinder a return to our usual prosperity. Consumption cannot con- tinue on the reduced scale of the present time, and distributors’ stocks are so de- pleted that they will have to be replenish- ed. With the weather continuing un- favorable, which, in addition to the con- dition of the markets, interferes with farmers’ deliveries in country towns. there is but little hope of immediate im- provement in collections. The money market is unchanged, with a slight ten- dency to drop to 4 and «1.1. per cent. in larger centres. The annual reports of our banks fortunately give but a. slight indication of having been effected by the depression. The London Conference will ca. ‘ ‘ Stt ‘ meet neg: $1 u; .an nthroy on thy first Tuesday In A curious incident took place the other day in a. Brooklyn police court. A lame man had been arrested on the complaint of his wife for cruelly beating her. The judge Ewes about to send the man to the penifintlary, for when n woman swems against a man the man gets but small credit. Just then the little 4-year-old child, which the mother was leading out of court and which seemed to be hanging hack, attracted the judge’s attention. He ordered the child to he placed between the two parents, a considerable distance from each. and then directed each parent to call it. The mother called to it first, but the child did not move. Then the father called and the child ran to his arms with every manifestation of affec- tion. This settled the case. The j dge told the prisoner that the child had saved him from the penitentiary, as he was sat- isfied he must have a kind heart or the child would not be so fond of him. This was a, practical way of settling mattexs, similar to that which history and tradi- tion ascribes to King Solomon. There is talk of running Sunday boats from Hamilton to the Busch.

The eager crowd had come and gone for several hours, and he stood on one of the velvet chairs that had come from no- body but. himself knew where, and gazed upon the upturned faces waiting for the next chance, he wondered vaguely if the desire to obtain something tor a litth animated the entire universe. For many years he had been a prominent figure in the auction mart, and under his hammer had oone often the fruits of a lifetime. 0: accumulation gone for a. song treasme: over which the miser had croned, the lover sighed, the mother weptâ€"all gone and with them the associations Ora. tender past. carrying uith them the scent oi the faded ruse leaves or the sounds of bitter weeping over woes that had wrung the o, ‘1 A Child’s Blanket.

To show \vhutis being done, at this moment only a few links are wanting in a complete network between New York and Philadelphia, a distance of nearly 100 miles. These links are actually being constructed, and when they are finiahed both passengers and freight can be carried between the two centers by electricity, over roads which represent a. vastly loss investment than steam roads, and wlnse cars can run in- dependently evcry minute of theday, unâ€" hamperedjby schedules. It is needlessto say that, while such a net-work is useless for pm poses of myift travel, it must very soon absorb a very large amount of minor and what may be called reticular traiiic. A vital point is the great quickness in travel in the electricity system. The trolley cars will pick up a man at any point, drop him at lfis exact place. and charge him only ten or fifteen cents, wheu the steam road has been collecting forty or fifty cents. Furthermore, in the matter of speed, the electric cars can give a good :u-crmnting, as they are equal in most cases to a speed of twenty-fiveor thirty miles an hour outside of the city limits, in. rate which the ordinary steam mad rarely equal and seldom surpass. - six-year-old son of D. McDonald, KK‘utWr, fell 11w t} e canal atfijfrtha clan: that the m’upoauls are a funda- mental departure from the principals of colonial constitutions. A Decision After Solomon. 001. T isdalc xnovcd an amendment which would allow the shooting of game birds and vermin trap shooting under stringent regulations against cruelty. Ho defended the shooting of birds, both as sport and as a. test of skill in markinan- ship, and said he would be sorry to soc the House declare against a. sport which had been pursued { or so many generations and which was not cruel. It was far bet- ter for a. boy to grow up in the habit of wandering through the woods and marsh- es, gun in hand, than to remain cooped up in a. city in danger of learning habits far worse than he would learn when in the woods studying nature. This clause was similar to that in the British act dealing with the subject. » As soon as Col. Tisdalc had ceased Sir John Thompson said that the question was one which would entail a. great deal of discussion and therefore moved that the committee arise. The order of the day bemg called, Mr. Charlton rose to speak upon the famous Tay Canal. He first gave an outline of the history of the construction of the canal. In 1882 Sir Charles Tuppcr asked for the first vote, stating that the cost would be $132,660, together with certain land damages. In 1883 he asked for $75,- 000, and said that owing to certain changes the total expense word be $240,- 000. In 188} $100,000 mom was voted; VW. Lu.

Mr. McMillan, Col. Tisdaleand Mr. Flint objected to this on the ground that it Would lead to undue interferenen with persons who are using necessary force to break in or subdue fractious ani- mals. Mr. Coatswurth replied that. the onus of proof would rest on the wrson lodging the charge. Mr. Mills (Both- well) said that, it. wasaquestion of police, and that it Would not do to allow passers- by to interfere betwcen a man and his animal. After a. further protest from Mr. McMillan, Mr. Coatsworth consented to drop the clause. The House then went into committee 011 Ml. Coatsworths bill rugardingcz uclt y As passed, in prohibits the sale of news- papers on the Sabbath, and closes all ca.- nals on Sundays bctnveen the hours of U o’clock a.m. and 9 o’clock pan“ with the proviso that that section may be suspend- ed for not mare than a. month by an order in Council upon the urgent, press of traf- fic, caused by an obstruction or the ap- proach of the close of unvigationâ€"thv suspension tn apply to mm or more ca- nals. Mr. Langelicr moved that the act (10 not apply to the Province of Quebec. This being defeated. he moved that the bill be read a. third tune six months hence. and was again beaten. The bill was then read a. third time. Mr. Taylor moved a. sub-amendmentto add m the amendment; to allow tugs to tow a. vessel into harbor. After half a. dozen members on both sides character- ized the mnendments as absurd, they were voted duwu. On the third reading cMr. Bennett moved that; it be referred Lack for the addition of a, section that the owner of any tutr leaving a port on Sunday for the purpose of to“ ing or utlierw 1563 shall be guilty of a. misdemeanor and liable to pm ment of a fine not less than $100. The amendment \\ as underswnd to be a fling at Mr. Charlton, and was loudly laughed at by a. portion of the House. In committee the amendment. was adopted and the bill was again reported. day. After mm o «iiwusai-m a. division was taken and ti: ‘ mnundmcnt was car- ried by a. majority of eight of a. vote oi (30 to 52. The result aroused applause on the part of the opponents of the bill. The Government was divided in the vote. Upon the order for the third reading. Mr. Mara (Yale, 8.0.) moved to recom~ mit {or the purpose 0: limiting the fins! clause to the sale of any newspaper or journal on Sunday.

Coming up for its third reading, Mr. Taylor renewed the objection that the bill would prevent the distribution of periodicals and religious. literature in churches and Sunday schools. The House went back into committee to consider this. This terminated the speaking, and the motion was beaten by a vote of 68 to 40, Mr. McCarthy and Col. O’Brien voting with the Opposition, and there were no defections from‘eithor party. Mr. Costigan said that the number of examinations at “hich irrevlllaribies had occurred were very few. T IOSL' who were concerned should be punished. Mr. Laurie! regretted the Premier’s ate titude, as the motion called not, only for an investigation of these cases, but also for an examination of the whole system. and much could be said in favor of such 9. proposition. “ regretted them very much.” He {the regretted the lapse of time in prosecut- ing the ofi‘enders, and could assure the House that orders had been sent out from his department for the prosecution of all the persons against whom there was evi- dence enou h, including the two sub-ex- aminem w l0 had been implicated. He would therefore ask Mr. Brodeur not to press his motion, as the taking of evi- dence before such a. committee would be detrimental to the prosecution of the cases. There were good reasons why the Government had not pressed the cases be- fore, which would come out at the invesâ€" tigation, but which he could not divulge before that time. Sir Juhn Thumpsou said that. he had no lutoutlon of denying ur extenuating the 1rregula.ritms_ which had occurred, that he Mr. Brodeur moved for a select cum- mittec of the House to enquire into the irregularities which occurred at the ex- aminations for the civil service in N1;- vmuber, 1893, and into all the facts and circumstances which preceded, accm‘npa- nied and followed the irregularitiea. with power to send for persons, papers and rec- ords, and to mlmiuister the oath to wit- nesses examined by them. Out of the 11):) candidates who had written at those ex- aminations, Mr. Bredeur said that there was a report in M<mtrcal and Quebec that some iilty had been 1mrsonuted.

This en- quiry he had been obliged to make, he- cnuse the commissioner had declined to allow him to examine the returns for himself. The reply he received was that forty-eight of the names were on the re- turns, and one of the remaining two might be there. but he was not sure. Dr. Borden then read to the Houre the places of residences of these fifty pemxns. They were scattered over various Sum, hut most of them were in Massachusetts, and two or three were in difierent parts of Canada.

Sir Richard Cartwright said, in all the profiigate expenditures of this Govern- ment, be doubted if there muld be found a more scandalous waste of the revenues of the country than the particular waste to which the attention oi the House had just been directed. The 'l‘ay Canal was a worse job than the Curran bridge, be- cause, although in the latter there had been a waste of $2W,(>UU, at least the com” “v had got a work of some utility. .\ t . . . . . _ _ _ 7 Hon. Mr. Haggai-t said the present res- olution was almost in the same language as one moved in 18.91 by the member for Huron (Mr. M. C. Cameron). He had at that time replied fully to the statements which Mr. Charlton had just repeated. The first vote for the canal was made by Parliament in 1882. For several sessions thereafter additionul votes {or it were made. On each of these occasions no ob- jection was raised to the project by the Opposition. At the time the Tay Canal was constructed he (Mr. Haggart) was a private member of the House, and did his best to get {or his constituency of South Lanai-k a public work which was to 1ts ‘ benefit. The work was commenced upon l a petition signed by the citizens of Perth. 1 and the town had contributed a. consid- erahle sum of money to it. It had been a; great benefit. to the town in saving $1.50 a ton upon 4,000 tons of freight per an- num. He thought the people of Perth had t right to have the canal, bees. they had contributedjgil‘ilaw arthe cost ofpubx‘fe Works in every other part of the Dominion. uance xor 16:95 had been $2,186, and the revenue had been $135.76. The returns showed that two or three small steamers, a seow. one or t\vu yachts and a skifl' or two had been all the vessels passing through it, the tonnage bein‘r 5,831. Mr. Huggart in lSHl had assumm the respon- sibility of the (culfiti‘llctioll, and had claimed that it had benefited to the1 amount of $3(I,LKX), in that the charges upon 20,000 tons of freight had been low- “I‘d $1.50 a. ton. The returns of the traflie on the canal showed a discrepancy. Mr. Haggart said that he had not as- sorted that the 20.000 tons had gone by the canal. and Mr. Charlton replied that he had not said that Mr. Haggart had asserted that the canal had carried this amount, but that Mr. Haggart had said that. through it, the rates had been low- ered. If Mr. Haggart had wished to re- duce the railway rates, why had he spent half a million upon the canal, when the railway act of 1888 provided means of cutting down eXorbitant rates? In conclusion Mr. Charlton moved an amendment as follow“ “' That the amount of business transacted upon the To y Canal is of insiwnificant proportions 1 when contrasted with the cost and capac- ity of the Work, and that the benefits con- ferred upon the general public by its construction are comparatively trivial and unimportant; that this‘ House ex- presses regret that so large a sum of $176,- 128.73 was expended in a way that no consideration of sound public policy could justify, leaving the country to suffer, not only the loss of annual interest upon the investment, but a considerable annual charge in addition to the nearly 119101095 creation if the expenditure is maintained; and that this House is of the Opinion that the marrnitudo of the public debt of Can-' ada is no in no ineonsiderable degree to that wasteful and unwarrantable class of expenditure of winch the Tay Canal is a type” then been $358,301. In 1889 Mr. Fwshw asked for $25,000; in 1890 for $11,000; and in 1890 a. further vote of 820,000, part, of it a. re-vnte. was given. In 1891 Mr. Buwcll stated that. the cost up to date had been $140,613.21. In 1892 a. fifth last ‘call of $2040) was made to provide a. launch from I’d-1,11 Basin w Haggart’s Mill, though the actual cost, of this was $30,412.21 3. or alumst. dnuble the estimate. Finally, it. had lately been stated that the tuna! cost up to January 1 had been $170,128.73. The expenses for mainte- nance {or 1803 had been $2,186, and the revenue had been $135.76.

He said: A flcl‘ what I said the other day in indi- cating the outlines of the bill. it will not be necessary to express myself at great length this afternoon in order to give the House to understand what the contents. of the bill are. In order. however, to give a brief sketch of - them previous to the second reading, I would mention that the principal features of the bill are these: First of all, in relation to the revision of the present year, we bring into force {or the purposes of the revision of the Be- distribution Act of 1893, it will be made on the lines of the constituencies as rear- ranged in 1892, notwithstanding that the Redistribution Act is not tocome into force for electoral purposes until «a dissolution of this Parliament. At the same time It is our constitutional duty to see that the constituencies are always in such 3 p081- tion that in case of an appeal the electors will be ready with the lists re\'ised In the constituency so arranged that the general election:- may take place. \\ hlle It IS not only Imsible, but very probable, that the revision of this year will be followed by a. revision next year prior to any die solusion, still, acting upon the principle which I have mentioned, weare bound to keep in view the facts that Whenever a dissolution shall take place the constitu- encies will be in a wsition to have a vote taken according to the distribution which will then be in force. However, we pro- pose to provide for the case of bye-e100- tions taking place in the meantime by taking care that the polling divisxons will he made in such a manipr that they will not run from one constituency, as It exists at present, into any new consum- ency that will exist unr‘ " the Redisuibu- ‘ mtcrml of ‘ I)! . my 1.21“. so) l)uz."l ucgloct Linimcul fur Hurses Frustilcm: 101' the lumds tum TURNmfi DRUG STORE.
