June. After some disoassion the resolation was •doptod. 'Iho House proceeded to the considera- tion of the items of the tariff not yot passed. On the item " builders', cabinetmakers' mad carriage hardware and locks, 35 per «ent.," Mr. Taylor moved to include saddlery And harnessmakers' hardware, mechanics' tools and a variety of other articles. Bir Charles Tupper said he could not see liis way to acceding to this retjuest at this time, because it would involve other changes in order to prevent bearing unjustly upon some establiHncd industries, and this ishange, if made, would therefore lead to oonfusion. Mr. Taylor said that if this change were not made it would work injustice to an im- portant industry in his own town (Uanan- oque) which employed 100 hands. The factory was devoted to the mannfacture of â- addlery hardware, largely hamea, which, being part wood and part iron, would come in at 30 per cent. These goods had to be made in Canadc in the facu of the competi tiou of American prison-made goods, the chief place of production being Auburn, New York. Mr. Mills said such a resolution as this could not be introduced at this stage. It 'Would seem from what was said by gentle- men opiHWite that every article mentioned in this taritl was in danger from the com- petition of prison labor. One would sumxjbo that nearly all the manufacturing industries of the United States were to be conducted in the penitentaries. The item passed. The House went into committee on several items which had not been dealt with, Bir Charli'B Tup|>cr explaining that he desired also to make some additions. The duty on floor oil-cloth was raised to five cents a yard and 15 per cent. aJ rali/rem, the dnty on oil-cloth in the piece reduced from five cents specific and 'M per cent, ad vahrem to Ave cents specific and 15i>er cent, ad vaturem. Bir Charles Tupper next announced that the dnty on pai>er of all kinds would bo 25 per cent., instead of '2'i}, as mentioned in the resolutions. The clause referring to tissue paper (which is included in the item "paper of all kinds ") was struck out and the following substituted : " Manufactures of paper, including ruled and bordered JMIKTB, pa[)cterio,box papers, enveloiies and blank books, S5 per cent, iid valorem.' Mr. Wilson (Argenteuil) spoke strongly in favor of an increase of the duty on tisjue paper to '25 per cent. Mr. Casey pointed out that the member for Argenteuil owned the only tissue pafier factory in Canada. Mr. Wilson (Argenteuil) said ho did not â- ee auy crime in a man being a member of il'arliament and a manufacturer of tissue paper, nor did he see any reason why an industry in which a member of Parliament is interested should not be promoted. Mr. Casey said there was no crime in- Tolvcd in the position mentioned by the member (or Argenteuil, and ho admiri-dtho frankness with which ho had stated his case. It was no doubt |>erfectly pro|>er for the lion, gentleman, who was not only in- terested in the tissue paper industry but was actually the sole representative ol the tissue paiier industry, to vote to put a luiii of money into his own po<^ket, but it was a grand illustration of the priucipluson which the tariff was framed. Mr. Mills objected strongly to the in- crease of th<! duty on i>a[M!r. It would 5 laco heavier burdens on those who con- acte<l newspaiHjrs, which even now were far from being paying enterprises. Mr. O'Brien (Muskoka) said there was a curious inconsistency in a tariff which, while it texed blank paper '25 (ler cent., Imixiscd only the same tax on partially printed newspa))ers. Mr. Mills said there was not a proprietor of a paiwr factory in the country who was not receiving from '25 to 80 per cent, nioru than American manufacturers were receiv- ing for the same article. The duty was placing Canailian publishers at the mercy of a few Canadian manufacturers. Mr. White (Cardwell) said that the in- crease of the dnty would not increase the price in the slightest, that up to this point the duty on paper had retluced its price, and that the change was merely for the purpose of simplifying the duties and facili- tating entries. Mr. Mitchell â€" If putting up the duty does not increase the price of an article, why don't they increasu it to .10 per cent.? Hu had been informeil by a Canadian manufacturer of paiier that he could buy paper in New England, pay duty on it and â- ell It in Canada as cheaply as he was sell- ing his own. Hir Charles Tup|)er thought this illustra- tion showed the absolute nuoessity for a duty on paper. Hir('harles Tup[ier proposed to strike out it«ni 40, itniMising 7^0 |i«ir lb. and '20 per cent, on wool, worsted and alpaca goods, by restoring item 473 of the reviued tariff •nd changing item 475 as follows : " All fabri;s composed wholly or in part of wool, worsted, hair of the Alpaca goat or other like animal, not otherwise provided for, S'i^ per cent, ad iiitorem ; on all similar goods costing 10 cents [ler yard and under, tt'H |)er cent, ati rahrem ; over 10 oonts and under 14 cents per yard, 25 per cent, ad valorem ; 14 cents per yard and over, 27 i per cent, nd valorem." Ho explained that this would do away with the specific duty altogetlii^r. Mr. MilJH said this was a gratifying change. Ho had a letter from a leading merchant of Toronto stating that with a, â- I«)cil\c duty as proposud the duty on goods costing in England 2J pence would be 67i per cent., and on goods aosting 3J pence 49 i>er cent. Hir Charles Topper said he proposed to provide that articles partly of iron and partly of stcjel, not specially provided for, ahould l«> chargu<l 30 [wr cent, ad valorem. â€" Carried. Ho proposed also to strike out " slodgos, track tools, wedges and crowbars of iron and steel, 1 i cents per pound and 30 per cent. (Ill I'li/iircm," as being included undur " broad and ship axes, etc., 83 per dozen and '20 per cent.," and substitute the fol- lowing: " Screws, commonly called wood â- crews, two inches and over in length, (1 cents per imund ; over one inch and less than two inches, H cents per pound ; loss per pound, and 30 per cent, ad valorem." Ue explained that this would be about 35 per cent, on the highest values. Mr. Mills â€" And about 75 per cent, on the lowest. The item passed. Sir Charles Tupper proposed to strike out the item, " Horaeshoo nails, etc., 2ic per pound," and substitute, "Nails and spikes, and brads, galvanized or not, horse shoe nails, hob nails and wrought nails of all kinds, and horse, mule or ox shoes, IJc per pound, bat not less than 35 per cent. ad valorem." â€" Carried. Ue proposed also to repeal clauses 57, 135, 143, 344, 345 and 300 of the Customs Act relating to clothing, etc., and substi- tute others. First, all olotbing made of cotton or other material not otherwise pro- vided for, including corsets or similar articles made up by seamstresses or tailors, also tarpaulins, plain or coated with oil, paint, tar or other composition and cotton bags made ap with tho needle, not other- wise provided for, 35 per cent, ad valorem. He explained that this added 5 per cent, to these articles. â€" Carried. He proposed also to provide that drain pipes and sewer pipes, glazed, should pay 35 per cent., the present rate being 25 per cent.â€" Carried. Ho proposed also the following: " Square pianos, roand-cornered or not, under seven octaves, 925 each ; all other stjuure piano- fortes, J30 each ; upright pianofortes, 830 each; concert, semi-concert or parlor grand pianofortes, 960 each, and in addi- tion thereto 20 per cent, ad valorem." He explained that this involved no change in the specific duties and an addition in ad valorem of 5 pvr cent. Farts of pianofortes were raised to 30 per cent, ad valorem. They are now 25. ft •. Ue also proposed : " Clothes- wringers, specific duty 81 each and 30 per cent, ad valorem." This be explained would be about 36 per cent. He proposed also to add to the free list redwood planks and boards sawn, but not further manufactured. This was to en- courage tho manufacture of cigar boxes in this country. Mr. Mills contended that there were other woods than redwood that could be used to make cigar boxes. Not many years ago Canadian sycamore was imported into the United States to make cigar boxes. This item simply meant that the principle of protection was abandoned and other woods allowed to come into Canada to compete with those of native production. The item carried. Mr. Baker said that these changes would interfere very seriously with contracts already made for pipes for gas and water- works in Victoria, Nanaimo, Vancouver and New Westminster, and asked if the Government could not allow those goods contracted for and in transit to enter at the old duties. Bir Charles Tupper said he would add a clause to tho Bill giving the Oovernmcnt discretion to grant concessions in cases of hardship ^rowiiifi out of the changes as affecting contracts already made. The committee reported and the resolu tions wero received and read a first and second time \ Bill to amend the tariff in aooordanoe with tho resolutions was presented, read a first time and ordered to stand (or its second reading on Wednesday next. The Uouse adjourned ai 5.30 until Wed nesday next. THE QUEEN'S BALL.

It was tho subject of universal remark at the recent drawing-rooms and this evening how the greatest attention in many years is now shown to the profusion of laces ; to the new frait, more than floral, perfumes; to the variety of bouquets, each composed of one species of flowers, and to the skill and taste displayed in the coiffures, not of one or two fashionable stereotyped styles, but adapted at caprio* to the carriage of the head and its shape and to the stature of the wearer. Old rose point, old Venetian point, old Flemish, old Brussels, Limerick, old point d'Argenton, point de gaze, duchesse, biscuit, d'Alenoon, black Spanish, point de Venice, Chantilly and old Uouiton laces of quality and patterns not to be readily pur- chased by the Twuveaux riehet, were seen everywhere.

There was more waltzing than if the Queen â€" who dis- likes " the muoe of the many twuikliug feet " â€" had been present. were also on the train. There was a large crowd of Irishmen at the K. & P. station as the train whizzed in on time. Messrs. Bohan and Neville had proceeded to Sharbot Lake, where the agitators were heartily greeted, and their appearance on the platform of the coach was the signal for hearty cheers. Mr. O'Brien stepped off quietly andwashanded over to the kind offices of John Murphy, who drove a span of blacks. Mr. Kilbride was also cheered as be was elevated into a second carriage. The pressmen of New York, Chicago and Dublin were fired into other carriages. There was little opposition offered. On the outskirts of the orowd was a little band who cheered for Lord Lans- downe and sang " God Save the Queen." Enthusiastic young Irishmen climbed into the carriages with the visitors and the pro- cession went up King street and turned dawn Clarence street to the Bamett House, where cheers were again given fortheeditor. The company rushed into the hotel. After tho new arrivals bad registered they were conducted to the parlor, where a reception followed. Many citizens were introduced to O'Brien and Kilbride. A number of ladies also attended the reception and were introduced to the visitors. Mr. O'Brien said that it was with over- flowing heart that he accepted their welcome. It was a surprise to him the way he had been received here. He was not here to pick a quarrel with the Orange- men or to arouse their feelings, but his desire was to bridge the gulf of prejudice and blend tho Orange and Green in the struggle for Ireland's freedom. (Cheers.) He claimed that the Irish party were fight- ing the battle of the friends of Orangemen in Ireland. He was told to-day that King- ston was known as the " Derry of Canada." Well, this might be an omen for good, for in his land, in the words of the song, " Derry is our own, boys." (Cheers.) Was this the case in Kingston? Ue claimed that the pestering of Canadians with what was termed " The Irish nuisance " was created by the abuses of Irish landlords. The graves of thousands of evicted tenants in Canada testified to this state- ment. He then proceeded to discuss the attitude of Lord Lansdowno towards kis tenants at Luggacnrran. At fre- quent intervals be was enthusiastically cheered, though he urged the people not to act in an excitable manner, but to show common sense. Mr. O'Brien says that be is suffering from an injured rib caused by the attack made upon him by the hoodlums in Toronto, He is satisfied with his tour in Canada, and whik he does not think the people will publicly announce themselves, yet ne believes the statements ho has made and which remain uncontradicted, will be create an impression. Lord Lansdowno, he said, had only to agree to the terms arranged by his agent in Ireland and they would leave for home without a harsh thought for the Ooveruor-Oeneral. The mention of Mr. Gladstone as with the Irish party in advocating Home Rule was the signal (or a great outburst of applause. The speaker declared that Canadian fair play had been accorded him and that a cry of execration would go up from Canadians against the practices committed in Ireland. (Cheers.) lie concluded amid great ap- plause at 9.15 o'clock. Mr. Kilbride was gi'en a great ovation. He had been given to understand that tho people of this city would use the same in- telligent methods that had characterized the " intelligence " of Toronto, that the arguments used would bo the cobblestones of the street. But ho was agreeably sur- prised at the calmness and fair play ac- corded so far. (Cheers.) Just at this momenta mighty shout aroseoutside, show- ing that a vast crowd were surging through of policemen patrolled the and rushed about me. A big brute with t^ bludgeon had raised his arm to strike me, when in a flash my hat was changed, and the blow fell upon some other person. I was rushed around the corner and stones flew about. One struck me on the head. There were not as many atones thrown at me as in Toronto. Near St. Patrick's Hall a big fellow shoved me in a gateway and the gate sprung back. As soon as the crowd fled I came over here." The Mayor offered to call the troops, who had been in barracks since 5 o'clock, to take him to the hotel, but O'Brien declined. The time for their appearance had passed. They should have been called out to disperse the bloodthirsty crowd. O'Brien leaves in the morning via Cape Vincent for Niagara Falls. At 11.30 the front of the office of the Canadian Freeman, tho Roman Catholic paper, was broken in and a mob of over 1,000 gathered around it. The police made one arrest, but could not hold the man. The citizens at that hour were becoming seriously alarmed. ON THEIR StUSCLK. UUnols Senators Fight It Out on the Floor ofthe Senate. A Springfield, III., despatch says : The dignity of the State Senate was sacrificed yesterday by two Chicago Senators, who allowed their passions to lead them into a personal encotmter upon the floor of the Senate. Daring the session an altercation arose between Senator Crawford and Senator Uibbs in regard to the former's position in regard to the Drainage Bill. There bad previously been some disagree- ment between them. But few words were passed. Each called the other hard names, which could not without offence to propriety be published. Senator Gibbs walked im. mediately behind the seat of his antagonist and Senator Crawford replied to an oppro- brious epithet with a blow. The Senators then clinched and were about to indulge in a regular knockdown fight when several colleagues interfered and separated the combatants. Each made an apology to the Senate for the disgracefiU proceedings. Senator Crawford's recital of the circum- stances seemed to netttle Senator Gibbs, and he made an amendment to his apology in which he said he regretted that the scene had occurred upon the floor of the Senate, but that he was glad he hit Crawford. There was another scene of a partially similar character enacted in the rear aisle of tho Senate about the same time between two other Senators, but the interference was prompt and it failed to attract attention.

It was a repetition of what ho had said at other places. Many in consec]uence retired at once. He concluded at 10 o'clock. There was au immense crowd in front of the rink when the meeting concluded. J. G. Behan announced that it was rumored that threats wero being mado outside. Ue urgetl the people to act temperately, tooffer no offence, so that no odium or responsi- bility would attach to them. The police force, with Chief Horsey and Mayor Carson at their head, kept the crowd back, who groaned for O'Brien and cheered for Lans- downe. A moment afterwards O'Brien's tall hat was seen in the middle of the crowd. " There ho is," was the cry and the crowd surged ahead. A few stones were fired. Sergt.

FATALLY .SHOT. RIUlDgof a Drunken and Abualve Sailor by a Captain. A Charlottctown, P. E. I., despatch says : A shooting affray attended with fatal results occurred hero last night. Aboat midnight a drunken sailor named Thomas Ottree, an Irishman, 30 years of age, belong- ing to the barque Moselle, went aboard the barqueCiaire belle and created a disturbance. He was promptly put ashore and retaliated with abusive language and a shower of stones upon Captain Walsh, of the Claire- belle. Intending to frighten him away. Captain Walsh fired off his revolver, and although it was pitch dark the bullet struck Ottres in the breast. Captain Walsh heard the wounded man fall, and exclaiming, " My Ood ! I didn't intend that," ran down the gangway, had him brought on board and did everything possible to relieve him, but in vain. After naif an hour's excru- ciating agony Ottree died. Captain Walsh, who is one of Prince Edward Island's best- known skippers and has a large family, immediately surrendered himself to the police. An inquest is progressing. ^ " MY TIME HAS CO.ME.' Last Words of a Burglar Killed While Stealing Craoliern and Cheeite, A Binghamtou, N.Y., despatch says : Lester CHark, a clerk of Smith & Webster, general dealers, at Ninevah, this county, shot and killed a supposed burglar this morning between 1 and 2 o'clock. In the store is an electric alarm that runs to Mr. Smith's house, where Clark also lives. When it sounded an alarm Clark jumped out of bod, dressed himself and, seizing a double-bairelled shotgun, hurried to tho store. Clark saw a man in the store help- ing himself to cheese and crackers, and, raising the gun, he deliberately fired at the intruder, emptying twelve buckshot into his stomach. The man staggered back, ex- claiming, " My time has come," and was dead in five minutes. Ho is not known in that locality and has not been identified. It looks as if his object in entering the store was simply to procure something to eat. â-  « Protection from Fires. In putting out ordinary fires it is a golden rule to uso as little water as possible, for the latter often does more damage than the former. The jet of a powerful engine is as destructive in its way as fire to all perishable articles within a room, such as furniture, pictures, and bric-a-brac. And that brings us toanother part of our subject. Fire protection, like charity, should begin at homo. However efficient may be the public service agaiutt tiro, a single bucket of water properly adininistereil may stop a fire that all tho efforts of the brigade would be unable to quench. â€" All the Year Hound. « It Doesn't Look Like a Poem, But It Is.
