Mr. Foster moved the Home into com- mittee on a bill re*[.e.".ing a certain treaty between her Britannic Majesty ac President of the French Republic. The treaty did not oblige Canada to give to France preferential treatment in hr Cana- dian markils. It simply obliged Canada to take oS the ail valorem duty. They were at perfect liberty to take this du'v *. wines coming from any other foreign coun- try, and were even at liberty to reduce the duty below that, but in inch event Canada me*. met with heartier endorsation by the busi- ness men of the country than that of a fast Atlantic serrice. Thene men. he sid, were animated by practical business motives, and no Letter testimony to tne utility of the schems could be had. It wa* always the first step that cost, and he trusted hon. gentlemen would look at more than the mere figure of .*7.~jO,<K)0. Sir Kichard Cartwright said the hon. gentiemtn should hare reserved hit senti- ment until lie had brought down the fact* to the House. He would like to know something about the number of vessels prohab y required and the coet of each. Mr. Foeter laid at leaet four vessels would b* re<|-jirei!, at a cos', of front 40",. <JUO fo il.'hjO.tiUU each. The cn*t ot the round trip would probably be ftiO.OoO or Mr. Foster explained that the bill pro- poeed to bring the old compani.*:th v-rv wide puwers of investment, wur.iu rn^e i.i the ec'jrities which would be allowed at present, and in conformity with the practice for the past live or six years. Certain new line* of security were added, vu., water works, gas. street railway, eleitnc iigh t anil power, and electric railways. Mr. Foster pointed out that the amend- ment proposed did not invalidate any investment at present accepted, snu simply limited the range of securities for the future, as ihe Government believed that the interests of the policy-nolder should be looked a'ter rirst. The bill was reported with amendments. vr Richard Cartwright eaid the annual cost of the service would be 70O,UOU ster- ling. Mr. Foster said the vessels would be of lO.UUO too* burden and have coal capacity of '.',,< not tons, snd the same capacity fur freight. They would carry 5<XI first and second claa paawogers and I .UGO steerage. .Sir Richard Cartwright aiked what the present Atlantic steamship companies would have instituted a 16 or 17 not service between (I reat Britain and Caua.ia f.>r ' Mr. Foster *aid that th* Allan line nad wa* .riven to ' servieefor MOO.U.M ami thuTranaatlantique ,*"' did "no-, in- a ' 1 ^y | ;^;^ 1 ' S99 ' Mkea?T "' ( ''' l<>J Ior |,tro..tne'room! gentleman ought to have had tenders for a more recent date. He thought tb figures must be wrong. He was informed that for very knot above 16 per hour the cost wa* enormous, and that a 'JO- knot service would >t twice as much as a 16-knot service. He would like to know if the < Government bad power of forfeiture incaae the contract wa. not fulfilled ? Mr. Foster sail the contract wa* not prepared yet, but that this point would be carefully guar led. Tho Government did no' prooos* to pay for the service unless ti'-v g"t the advantages. Mr. Laurisr thought the hon. gentleman wits wroaf, au.l that the contract had been entered into between Mr. Huddart and the ''.i.td an ' .ovrrnment. He quoted from the condition* of the contract. I I llict.ard Cariwnght aaked what cargoes would be carried on the osw line of steamers, and what t'l* probable rates woul I be. Toe promoten of the scheme must have figured on the rate*. Mr. Foster sa.l he could not furnish th* j information. The cargoes would doubtless i ii.' similar to those or steamir.ip* leaving New York.

The (iuvernmeet d tend to discriminate against any other wine. John Thompson said the Government wa touideriog the disability, if any, under which native wine grower* labor* i, and would extend relief a* it might be necessary. Matters of detail, lach as the manner in which th* indus ry would be affected, could not be considered until Parliament had ratified the treaty. Mr. Foster said the treaty .imply bound Canada to l.t French wine* of a certain gra.'.e in at a certain rate. Th.v did not biind themselves by treaty to discriminate in favu- of France with reference to these classes of wine*. If the trench wines were admitted at this rate, l.'anvU was obliged, by v.rtne of certain treaties wt'h Belgium and tiermany, to a..ow their wine* in at the sam rate. Mr. McCirthy thought thi. wa* a good opportunity to extend preferential rates to the sister colonies. Ms wished to point out that the treaty did not permit nation I enjo) :ug the favored nation treafntn* to export wines to Canada at the same duty a* r ranee was enabled to under the treat v, because the treaty expressly said wines of French origin. Mr. Weldon said that under the favored nation treaty, any treaty made by Canada with France must be unconditioua.ly kept w.th liertnany. Mr. Foster, in answer " r l.chsrd Cartwright, said the total import into France last year from all source* .it artiole* mentioned in the treaty wa. $3*.(> ),H) or $4O,OX),U>.

Mr. Foiver moved the House into <"cm- rnir.ee of the Wiiols to consider tne follow. in; resolution : " That it it eip-d.i-i-t . provide that the (iovernor-in-Coun.- I ma? enter into a contra:t for s term not e\ ced- ing ten years with any individual cr com- pany for the performance of a fast weekly steamship service between Canada and the United Kingdom, making C'nnection witn a French port, on such terms and conditions as to th* carriage of th* mail* an I other- wise a* the Uovernor-m-Council deems expedient, for a subsidy not excee lint; the sum of seven hundred and titty thousand dollars a year.'' The mm naked was $_'.">( i, Wl more than the amount originally authorized. The policy of establish. m; a fast line of steamers had been aSirni- ed by the House. It bad been found im- practicable to establish such a line for a subsidy of J.MW.IXK) annually, and th* (iovernnient had set as an outside and ultimate limn a .ubtidy of $730,000, in order to secure the service. There might be a ditferenc of opinion a* to whether th* *>o ernment wa* jusntisJ in exceeding the ha'f milliuu lnn.t. He thought so. The point had been convtered, and in veiw of the failure to oV.am tSe ser- vice) ia th* ptat for this anoint, it had been decided to ask for the increase. This step would be the third and last link in a service that could not be rivalled in the world.

The bill also deal* with Anarchist*. England, Lord Salisbury said, appeared to be the ground upon which an- archistic plots were hatched. Thu Ciovern- meut ought to be empowered to expel fiom the country men whoee presence was likely to cause a lireioh of the peace or lead to the cormniBSion of crime. Lord Koeehery as- sented to that part of the bill dealing vith alien (paupers, but he objected to the second part of it with indignation, and repudiated the suggestion that England wa. the hatch- ing ground of Anarchist conspiracies. Lord Salisbury said that he did not mean that England willingly harbored criminals, but he contended that the fabric of the law wa* iMafficient to deal with them.
