A JEWISH BOY CRUCIFIED.

to a riot in which a dozen Jewish infante
were torn from their mothers' firma and
thrown in the streets. Young Jewish girls
are constantly kidnapped in country towns

immoral purposes, and when oomplaints
are'made to the authorities they are there.

before the authorities and prove that he to
not a Jew.
There ie one form of cruelty largely
pot that seems almost incredible.
trot , year or so hundreds of Jewish
babies have been stolen and shipped to
various porta on the. Nile to be used as bait
by the crocodile hunters. Of comae, they
are not all eaten by the animals, but now
and then one is caught. The or000dile
bunters plaoa a baby on the shores of the
Menem, and presently the lazy, animals
Dome out of their beds after the infant.
.When the crocodiles get near the little one
and within ebpoting range of the hantere,
who are oonoseled in the bushes, they are
shot. The little babes serve es a bait to
bring the animals on the banks, and by
this means it is possible to get many
animals which could not be reaohed in any
other way. It has been said that the
bunters have let the crocodiles approaob
too near the babes before firing, and their
Arai shot being ineffectual the little one
was eaten np. At any rate they are
used for bait. "Yon think it queer," said
the stranger, "that a wholesale kidnapping
gf babes le not notioed in the newspapers.
That le not strange. Yon do not know
Boasia. The papers there can only print
--what-the-Government-approves-of. -If-an
editor gets any news that ie sensational he
be End first submit it to some official
before aging it. That ie Ramis."
Another :traveller who reoently returned
from Corfu gives the origin- of the horrible
permeation of the Jews that occurred
there. He aye that during a recent
8ebrew.testiveLthe_Chrietianw kidnapped
a Jets boy, whom they rendered insensible
with drugs. They then fastened., him to s
• . ;tepee, .. with a Drown . of thorns on
his head, hailing hie hands to
the arms ofothe erose, but not otherwiee
injuring . him..... They_ ..painted a_ gaping:
wOund on his side in imitation of the spear
'brad in the side of the Cruoified Christ,
.and in that condition carried him through
the Jewish quarters, As the boy was ` in-
sensible, he had the appearance of being
dead, and the Jews believed that he had
been in reality crucified. In retaliation,
*he following day the Jews kidnapped 'a
young Christian girl .and eat her throat,
and, striping her naked, hung her np by
the heels in front of a Christian butcher's
shop during the night, so that the horrible
speotaole was seen by the inhabitants the
first thing the next interning. This roused
intense bitterness on eaoh side, and as the
Jews" were numerically the weaker they
suffered in proportion..

Mr. Fo er—That's all a matter of taste.
Bir Do d Smith said that the salary
instead o Bing $10,000 or $12,000 ehould
be $20,000.
Mr. Ferguson said that egge had been
exported to England profitably, and to -day
were being laid in the Liverpool market as
safe and sweet se they were hitherto laid
on the Boston market. Within the bast
six weeks oontraote had been entered into
by Canadians to supply 5,000 horses for the
London Omnibue Comoeny.
Mr. Macdonald (Huron) eaid that Mr.
D. D. Wilson, the egg king of the west,
bad gent -a shipment of eggs to England,
and found they realized just four canto e
deem less than the eggs he sent to New
York. In England summer eggs were sold
by the hundred, and it takes 120 to make a
hundred, with -five sdditio sL-ibrown in,_
making in all 125. It took five weeks- for
the, Canadian eggs to reach the English
markets, so that when they got there they
were stale and commanded only Mooted -
rate prices, although there was always a
ready sale.
Mr. Somerville objected to the large ex-
penditure for newepapere.for several depart.
mento. Last year no lees, than $10.533 was
paid out in newspaper subscriptions. It
was not only for newspaper aubeoriptione
that pnblio money was expended, but vety
large bonuses were granted to the organa
of the Government. . They received last
year $135,775 for printing that should have
been done in the Printing Bureau. It was
the papers that supported the Government
that received this patronage Then these
papers received $46,791 , for advertising,
making a total for aabecription, printing,
and advertising of $193,010.
Mr. Chaplean—The hon. gentleman
eeems to be pretty well informed as to the
Printing Bureau. He must have friends
there. He knowe almost as mnoh about it
as I do myself.
Mr. Somerville—More.
Mr. Foster eaid that Mr. Somerville had
stated that of 5133,775 for printing none of
it was for lithographing work. Of this sum
$43,101 was expended in lithographing,
notes. That showed the House the
methods of oritioiem of hon. gentlemen op.
posite.
Mr. Blalock stated that a few minutes
ago he had told the House that Sir Charles
Tapper had said to the people of the Mari-
time Provinces that they held the balance
of power and now was their opportunity.
He had intended to quote the statement
from the Empire, but the paragraph referr-
ing to that particular matter had been
olipped out. But he would take another
undoubted authority for it. A000r8ing to
the Herald, of Halifax, he bad said that
the outlying provinces held the balance ed
power. These small provinces were in a
position to claim the very highest con-
sideration at the hands of the Government
for the noble manner in whioh they had
enetained the institutions of the country.
These remarks could only mean that a raid
should be made on the treasury.
Mr. Foster -LA very free translation.
Mr. Mulock—There .is no other transla-

Mr. Mulook hoped the Government would
do something this session towards inoreas•
ing the saleriee' of judges.
Mr. Sproule wag not surprised et the
members of the legal profession wishing to
see the salaries of judges increased. He
thought they were paid as well as mon in
other lines of life.
Mr. Gironard . thought the judges were
underpaid. It was a shame that tomo
jadgee were oompelled to do extra work in
order to add to their salaries.
Mr. Hyman said that when a doctor
erred that error was buried six feet deep—

He ventured to esy there were very few

It was is mistake to mimeo that when a
vacancy occurred the Government were
overwhelmed with eppplioMione. .He repu-
dieted the* idea. Applioatione were becom-
ing more rare every year. The Government
found it more difficult than ever hefore to
the oentree of population. I1 woultbe a
great mistake to suppose that they could
reoruit the bench from professional fail -
urea. There were many questions involved
es to the extent of the increase which it
was impossible to &newer adequately, and
upon which it would be presumption in, an
individual member of the Cabinet to
express an opinion.
Ki* Rind Cartwright auggeated that
the time had arrived for an adjournment.
Mr. Foster complained at the little
progress that had been made since 4
o'clock. Only three items had been passed.
At that rate of ,progrees they would not
get through until September or October.
The committee rose.
The following bills were introduced and
read a first time :
Respecting the Canadian Land and In-
Vestaient Company, limited.—Mr. Taylor.
Respecting the Toronto, Hamilton &
Buffalo Railway Company.—Mr. Taylor.
To incorporate the Order of Canadian
Home Cirolee.—Mr. Coateworth.
Mr. Tupper introduced a bill to amend
the Steamboat Aot. The object chiefly
was to provide for exemption of steamboats
registered in the United Kingdom and else-
where out of Canada from inspection in
Canada.
Sir Hector "Lange -vine -replying to • Lr:
Langelier, said the Government engineer
bad made irgniry into the feasibility of the
Quebec bridge, and had made° a report

Langelier, said there would be a measure

Sir -Hector Langevin,-in answer to- Mr.
Tarte, said that Mr. Terley resigned the
Chief Engineerahip of 'the Quebec harbor
works on January 15th, 1891. There was
no salary attached to the position, and Mr.
Perley held it from May, 1884.
Sir Heotor Langevin, replying to Mr.
Edgar, mid that applioation for the exten-
sion of the Eegnimalt graving dock was
made in 1886 by Meeers: Baker and Shakes-
peare, M. P's., and Engineer. Perley re-
ported against it in the following year.
Mr. Moueseau, in moving for repute and
plane in oonneotion with the Boulanger
Canal,• aoouaed the Government of having
used this project for the benefit of the Tory
candidate in that dietriot. Not only in the
laet eleotipn, but for the past ten yeara,the
Government had repeatedly promised to
build tbie canal, but never yet planed any
money in the estimates for that purpose.
Mr. Chaplean said that the general esti-
mates for canals included the Boulanges
Canal. This year, however, the Soulangeu
Canal hid been specially mentioned 'in the
estimates. The Government engineer had
concluded that it would be cheaper to build-
* new canal then enlarge the Besnharnois
Canal.
Mr. Laurier remarked that the oenal was
never mentioned in the eetimatee except et
election time..
Mr. Flint, in moving for a complete
return regarding the fishery bountiee paid
in eaoh Province, mid that when this gnu -
tion was on the paper a few days ago, Mr.
Tapper had told him that all the informs.
lion asked for wag in the annual report of
the Fisheries Department. He had snbee-
gnently disoovered that the information be
desired was not in the report as the Minis-
ter bad etsted.
Mr. Tupper disolaimed any intention to
be discourteous to Mr. Flint on the day
that motion was previously settled. If there
was any information further than wbat,
was in the report that Mr. Flint deeired he
would be glad to furnish it.
Sir Hector Langevin asked Mr. Jamie-
son if be would consent to a postpone-

Mr. Jamieson mid he had no objection to

Pare. Maude E. Jenks, te of Corporation
Counsel Janke, - of iii If city, obtained a
divorce from her hisbend at Newport,

Episcopal diocese of Long island, was , a

daughter. The divorce suit and tha ap-
pearanse of the bishop as a witnese mused
which is still going on. In view of this
Bishop.Littlejohn last month convened the
bishops of four of the moat prominent
dioceses as an eoolesisolical court on a
committee of investigation as to the suffi-
cient -and excusable ground; for the Janine
divoroe ease. Churchmen who are more
or lees well vereed in evicleeisetioal triode
arid judgments say the case atande in his-
tory without a parallel. As the result of
what the quartette of bishops learned they

being null end void ab initio. The bishops
referred to are Biahop Williams, Con.
Bishop Starkey, Newark, and Bierhop Pot-
ter, New York.
Bishop Littlejohn is on record as etrongly
deprecating the looeeneso of the divorce
lam and the elipshed methods of C0132413.
His object in convening his conseorated
brethren was to get their certifioate In sup -
pert of the position theit lire. Jenks had
got a divorce for such a catise as the ' Pro-
testant Episcopal Church redognizeS, end
that he himself in, beeonling a witness for
her had kept well within the lines of his
sacred duty. The feats on -which the four
bishops base their decisions have not been
made public. Bishop Willieme misted at
the marriage of Miss Littlejohn to Mr.
Jenks. The couple lived together ten years
before Mre. Jenks became a resident of
Rhode Islend in order to get a divorce. Mr.
Jenke has Merried again.
