Sir John Thoinpson moved that on- and
after Wednesday, for the remainder of the
asasi' " the House commence each sitting
at II o'clock.
Mr Darier did not suppose there
would be a continuous sitting from 11 till
6 o'clock.
Sir 'John Thompson said it was under-
attooil that Mr. Speaker world leave the
oisir at 1 o'clock and resume at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Mils resumed the debate on his
amendment in favor of a scheme of redis-
tribution in Ontario which will maintain
intact the county bonndariee. Anyone who
had had experience of a constituency made
up of parts of several counties, would. know
hew hopeless was the task of unitieg such
parts of counties by merely binding them up
in the same constituencies. The pr oposal
he (Mr. Mills) had made was cleat , easily
worked out, and fair to all partied, and
would better carry out the principle pro-
posed by the hon. gentleman than any other
that had yet been put forward. The Min-
ister of Justice had contended ti. .t the
county bound in Ontario had not 4 -hal so
well maintained as in the other Pr. ince&
A division was then taken on Mr. Mills'
amendment, resulting as follows : 1. as 27,
mays 51.
The amendment was declared loot. ,
Clauses A and B, detaching the t- .vnship
of ,Clarence from Russell county, we r e drop-

Mr. Bain (Wentworth) moved in amead-
asset that clause H be amended by otrikiag

village of Waterddwn and adding township.
Mr. Bowell, on clause C, defining Ren-
frew North, stated that the entire change
was the transfer of the townships of Head,
Maris and Clara to Nipisaing.
$' Sir John Thompson explained that clause
. E as printed did not include, as was in-
tended, the township of Niagara. He there-
fore inserted these words.
Mr. Mills moved that the village of Mer-
rittoa be put in the county of Lincoln, where
it belonged,
Sir John Thompson agreed to this motion,
and the clause was so amended.
- Oa clause G, defining Haldimand and
Mcmck,
Mr. Mals objected to abolishing two con-
stituencies in the west and leaving the
Weaker sections of the Province with a full
measure of representation. ' Why not unite
Addington and - Lennox or Frontenac and
Lennox, 'giving the town of Portsmouth to
the city of Kingston, and leave the Niagara
distrjce as it is' • b
Sir John Thompson said that the ,popula-
tion of Haldimand was 16,300, of Monck
15,300. He was a afraid he could not agree
to the change proposed by his hon. friend
from South Oxford and his ,hon. friend from
Bothwell
The chane was adopted.
On clause H, dealing : with South Went-
'
ent' worth,
Mr. Paterson (Brant) pointed out that
the constituency was separated. The town-
ship of Ancaster or city of Hamilton divided
the town of Dundas and the township of
Flambero'.
Mr. Paterson (Brant) said that as a ques-
tion of numerical consideration there ways a
difference of 4,000 between the counties of
North Brant and Wentworth, and tnia,
besides the geographical absurdity implied
is the proposal, made it inezcaaable.
Mr. 'Montagne said during the debate on
the bill of 18ild hon. gentlemen had com-
of the length of the county of
which they said extended from
Hamilton almoat to the town of Woodstock ;
yet now they would support an amendment
increasing the length of that riding by ten
or fifteen miles.
The amendment was lost by the following
vote : Ayes 21, nays 46.
Sir John Thompson moved the insertion
of a clause relating to the constituency of
Bothwell, by which the island of Walpole
and other islands in the St. Clair river
would be added to that riding.
Mr. Mills said he had another amend-
ment to propose; and the matter was allowed
to stand for the present.
Clause M, by which it was proposed to
transfer London West to the city of London
for electoral purposes, was dropped.
On the clause dealing with West Toronto,
Mr. Denison said, as some membera had
suggested that this riding ehonid be divided,
he had ah suggestion to offer. He moved
that West Toronto be divided by Bathurst
street, including Toronto Island, all west of
Bathurst being West Toronto, and all east
West Centre Toronto, while what was now
known as Centre Toronto would be East
Centre Toronto. This was allowed to
stand.
Mr. Bennett moved amendments respect-
ing Muskoka, East Simcoe, North Ontario,
and South -Victoria, of which he gate notice
on Friday night. -
Eir John Thompson said it was rather
late to take that up this evening.
The committee reported progress.
The House went into committee on
Redistribution Bill.
On section 3 of clause 2, dealing with
Province of Quebec, . e
Mr. Laurier said he begged to move that
the,whole of the motion as to changes made
in Quebec be omitted from the 'bili. " Party
inspired hon. gentlemen opposite. As an
instance, it was only nee nary to look at
the Senate- It had been 'created foe an
express purpose, but instead of fulfilling
that purpose, what was it ! To -day it was
reduced to such a pi ce that you 'could
count on the fingers of your two hands the
members of the Liberal party therein. The
Liberal party had been ostracised from the
bench by a high hand, mild the . object of
this bill was to ostracise the Liberals from
this House, not with a high hand,
but by degrees. The member for
Albert stated some time ago that he
was shocked and horrified at his (fir.
Lanrier's calling the measure a gerrymander.
Mr. Ouimet said it wofild be amusing, if
the House had time for. it, to follow the
leader of the Opposition in the shifting
positions he took with regard to this bill
In the first place it was perfectly clear that
if Montreal and other places were to be
given representation in proportion to their
population, other constituencies must be
wiped out ; for the number of members was
fixed by the constitution. The
interest of religion and nationality must
not be forgotten in dealing with Quebec,
and heiflattered himself that these also had
been harmonized.
Mr. Laurier—That is very poor flattery.
Mr-, Onimet said if he bad to wait for
complimenta from the hon. gentleman he
would wait a long time. Therefore, he
thoaght'it well to speak in his own praise
when he honestly could. (tanghter.) The
attempt had been made quietly to stir up
religions feeling*, and rumors had been care-
fully circulated ,among, the Government
supporters . that the religion of the min-
ority would be put at disadvantage by the
BilL
Mr. Laurier—I deny that statement abso-
lutely.
',lir. Onimet—Such rumors were circulated.
I heard it from several.
Mr. Choquette—Name, name.
Mr. Otiu,tt—My word s ill gofer what it
is worth. The hon. gentleman is not bound
to believe what I say.
Mr,. Choquette—1 do not believe it -
Mr. Oaimet—I am not speaking to be be-
lieved by him.
Mr_ Leerier—Such ineinuationeare alto-
gether cowardly.
Mr. Oaimet said that in the central group
he had followed the rules laid down by the
leader of the Opposition himself, so far as
those principles could be harmonized.
Mr. Laurier calledupon the member for
Albert (lir. Weldon), who had stated that
he was opposed to the bill of 1882 and only
voted agamat the amendmentt' of the mem-
ber for North Simcee because that bill had
the , sanction of time. The provision . was
& gerrymander of the gerrymander of
188th
Mr. Macdonald (Winnipeg), acid he was
surpraaed at the proposal of the member for
Bothwell to finite Kingston and Portsmouth
and throw the counties of Frontenac and
Lennox together, since there was no con-
nection between Kingston and Portsmouth
mnnicipaL••ty, and the same could be said of
Frontenec and Lennox.
Mr. Boyle was sorry that it had been
' found necessary to remove the constituency
of Manch, and still thought some arrange-
ment might be made by which it could be
retained.,
Mr. Macdonald (Huron) , contended that
West Ontario was under -represented,
and he was opposed to taking members from
that section. The population west of To,
ionto was 1,119,000, ande49 members came
from that portion. East of Toronto the
population was 630,000, and 32 members
came from that sectiop, showing that the
east was much more largely represented
numerically than the west,
Mr. Weldon said that if the propoeal was
to unite two of the small counties in the
east, and, also the two Wentworths, he
thought it was reasonable, and would
frankly say if put forward he would sup-
port it.
The House was again in committee on the
Redistribution BilL
Mr. Bowed said as fax as he was con-
cerned he would have no objection to taking
a unit beginning at the east and dividing
the whole k'rovrnce of Ontario, giving repre-
sentation by population so far as could be
done without interfering with the township
lines.
Sir Richard Cartwright'taid the Ministry
said that they desired the minimum of dis-
turbance, and that as few constituencies as
possible should be inr.fere3 with. He
would suggest that the four smallest con-
stituencies in Ontario continguous to one
another be united; two and two, thereby
obtaining the minimum of disturbance,
and the two necessary representatives
. would be secured, and leave the rest of the
province alone. Unite Forth Leeds and
Grenville, with a population of 12,500,
with South Grenville haring 13,000 ;
and then unite either Frontenac,
14,80e, and Lennox, 13, 30e, or
Lennox and Addington. He pro-
posed in amendment to the cause that the
electoral division of Toronto be divided into
two divisions returning one member each,
that Frontenac and Lennox be u ni ted to
return one member, South Grenville and
North Leeds lie united and return one mem-
ber, and let the electeral districts of Algoma
and N ipissing be divided to return one mem-
ber each.
Mr. Bowell thought this was not in order,
as it meant an amendment to the entire bill,
and the committee would have to recyst all
they had done.
' Sir John Thompson—We have been four
Weeks getting down to section I3. I would
the
the
fossa part el the bill was- carried by 57 to 27.
Oa subsection (a) dnfieteepttawacounty,
Sir John Thompson said the Government
proposed that the division in this county
should be north and south instead of east
endwest,-:Ottesia West to -be-known
Wright— (Conservative applause) — and
Ottawa East as Labelle.
The sub -section as amended was adopted.
On sub -section (o) defining Lval,
Mr. Laurier wished topoint out the want
of logic in the Minister of Public Works'
assertion that a man in Montreal was as
good, as a main the retal districts: If that
were so true as he held it. to be, Montreal
and Hochelaga would have eleven repre-
sentatives instead of five. There was no
reason for giving Montreal and Hpchelaga
five representatives and atoppipg there, He
appealed to • the House to strike out this
clause.
After farther discussion the sub -section
was carried.
After a brief discussion the clauses 41
to Joliette and Montcalm were
dropped, thus retaining these constituencies
as at present.
In respect of Hochelsga East and West it
was decided, on Sir John Thompson'& sug-
gestion, to name them respectively Roche -
and Maionneuve.
baring theediacnsaioa on the Montreal
districts Sir John Thompson proposed to
add to the new constituency of St. James
the East Ward, proposed under the bill to
be part of St Anne's division.
Mr. Brodeur objected to this proposal as
not calculated to equalize the population.
Mr, Curran defended the proposal enithe
ground that the interests of race harmony
would be.promoted by it.
After further discussion the amendment
was carried.
On the 'lanae relating to Chateauguay,
Mr. Brown contended that the effect of
the rearrangement proposed world be to
prevent the election of an English-speaking
representative, which was in direct contra-
diction of the expression of interest in this
class and their rights expressed by the Min-
ister of Public Works (Mr. Ontmet).
Mr. Chaplean deniedthat the result in-
dicated would follow. - He understood it
was proposed to amend the bill by leaving
Chateanguay and St. Philomene parishes in
Mr.ve, Chateauguay.whicontended that Mr. 'Brown
was correct" in the forecast he had given of
the effect of the change.
Mr. Laurier objected to the proposal
made by Mr. Chaplean, as not meeting the
case. He suggested that Napierville. and
Laprairie should be, united. This would
give, say, 21,000 population for the united
counties. He moved an amendment to this
effect. '
After a farther discussion debate on this
clause was adjourned, `and the committee
rgee and reported, and asked, leave to sit

The amendment was put and idst on the dealing with the Province of Quebec do present dishonest shippers were in the habit
of making the barrels with theheadanndsely

quantity of ' fruit. It was proposed :oleo
that the maker of barrels should be obliged
-t stimip"hia'narne upon each barrel; -both
maker and &hipper to be subject to fine in
case of packages being undersized, and he
hoped the Government would consider this
matter and give notice of intention to make
the• amendment. 'He suggested also that
potato barrels tthould be similarly regulated
and.inapected.
hir. Mills (Annapolis) endorsed the sug-
gestion made by the last speaker.
Mr. McMillan (Huron) contended either
that the inspection ahould be permissive or
else that the inspection should take place
on the premises of the grower. •
Mr. Campbell said the effort in Ontario
was to make apple barrels of the same con-
tents aa flour barrel& These barrels were
now made of 28t inch stave and heads 161
inch, and the reason why the barrels ' were
made as nearly cylindrical as possible was
to save freight, the charge on the Atlantic
vessels, being by the space occupied, and the
less bulge in the barrels the -closer they
would pack. At present flour was shipped
in sacks for this reason. It was not neces-
sary to have more bulge on the barrel than
just enough to tighten the hoops. He
thought the trade should be allowed to
regulate this matter. Thousands of barrels
of apples were shipped out of his county
(Kent) annually, and he had never heard
any complaint or any demand for this
change.
TheHouse went into committee on the
Redistribution bills The amendment by
Mr. Davies, that the county lines in Prince
Edward Island be not interfered with, was
under discussion.
The question was put and voted on in
committee, and Mr. Davies' amendment was
defeated ; yeas 49, nays 71.
Onthe motion for adjournment,
Mr. Laurier asked as to the truth of the
statements in the newspapers of serious
trouble in Edmonton over the .'removal of
the Land office.
Sir John Thompson said there was no
serious trouble. No proposal had been
made to remove the land office, but orders
had been given :to remove some • of the
records, in order to facilitate the making of
entries by settler,, and the only trouble waa
caused by a few persons who desired to pre-
vent the removal of the records.
Discussion was contained on sub -sections
" S " and " T," dealing with Renville and
Chambly. And then, on motion, Sir John
Thompson asked that these clauses be
allowed to stand.
The committee then took up the sub-
section dealing with West Toronto. The
question was on Mr. Denieon's amendment,
that West Toronto be divided into two
constituencies by Bathurst street, one to be
West Toronto and the other West Centre
Toronto.
Mr. Cockburn said that it did seem to
him that some concession should be made
by Toronto by which the manufacturing
interests of that great city would be repre-
sented. " Ten years ago the capital in-
vested amounted to only e4,000,000, now
it was $32,000,000. • The number of
employees was 9,400, now it was 26,333.
He gave other figures to show, the progress
of Toronto.
Sir John Thompson said he could not
accept this, much as he admired Toronto,
its great growth, and of course its represen-
tatives, but it would be necessary if this
was accepted to remodel the whole Bill, and
of course give greater representation to
Montreal
Sir John Thompson announced that it
was decided to leave the electoral district
of Chateauguay as it is now, except that
it should rnclnde the ' Indian village of
Caughnawaga. This was agreed to- It
was decided also' to unite Lapraine and
Napierville-
Mr. Chapleau announced that it was pro-
posed to unite St. John and Iberville, and
also to put in with them the two small par-
ishes of NotreDame deStanbridgeand Notre
Dame des Anges. It was proposed also to
take the pariah of Lacolle from St. John,
adding it to MissiequoL
After considerable . discussion the clause
was adopted.
Mr. Welsh made an energetic speech. He
claimed that if the Local Government had
gerrymandered the Province they had
learned to do it from this Government. The

they were confederated. This Government.
bad taken away everything they could from
the Island, and now they were taking away

Mr. Bowell—We are leaving the Island_
M. Welsh—Oh, you would take it away
if you could. (Laughter.) For 1:0 years
the borders of the counties had never been
'touched, and now it was going to be cut up.
He criticised the bill as it dealt with Prince
Edward Island at length -
After a farther discussion the committee
rose and reported progress,
Sir John Thompson moved the second
reading of the Bill to amend the General
Inspection Act He explained that he

Very few _peojle have a correct idea of ,
`wlsa't dynamtte is; of What it is made and
end the uses to which it is put. To the
French belongs the honor of discovery and
its first practical use.
Nitro-glycerine is the force of all high ex-
plosives. Dynamite is the name moat
usually given to these explosives, though
other names are sometimes need. Dynamite
is simply nitro-glycerine mixed with various
ingredients. Nitro-glycerine is made by
mixing sulphuric and nitric acid with sweet
glycerine, the - same that is used by they
ladies to prevent chapped Hands
Mixing the acids and glycerine is
where the great danger lies in the makisg
of nitro-glycerine. The mixing tank,
agitator, as it is called by dynamite-makeri,
is a large steel tank, filled inside with many
coils of lead pipe, through which, While the
mixing is in progress, a constant flow of
ice -water is maintained. '.his flow of ice -
water is used to keep the temperature a
the mixture below 85 degrees, as above that
point it would explode, -and a hole in the
ground would mark where the faztory had
been. ' The nitro-glycerine is stored in
large earthenware tanks, which are usually
sunk in the ground to guard against blown
or severe concession. The other ingredients
for making dynamite are : Nitrate of soda,
which is found only in Chili ; carbonate' of
magnesia and wood pulp. . •
Dynamite is put in paper shells usually
11 inches in diameter and 8 inches in
length, and weighs about one-half pound
to each 'shell or cartridge. It has large
taken the place of black powder for blast-
ing, as it is many hundreds of times
stronger and consequently more economical
It is used chiefly in mining all kinds of
ores, coal and rock, and submarine blast-
ing and railroad building. Without its aid
many railroads, especially those crossing
the ttocky Mountains, could not have "bees
constructed ; without it Hell Gate, in the
East River, New York, could not have been
destroayed, and without it the miner, at
prices now paid for mining ores, could not
earn his bread.
Dynamite will not explode from any
ordinary fall or jar ; it will burn without
explosion,- and freezes -. at 42 degrees, -10
degrees above ordinary freezing point. The
bomb of the anarchist is made of metal or
glass and filled with pure nitro-glycerine,
arranged so as to explode by severe contact
with any hard object. These bombs are, of
course, never made by a reputable dynamite
factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are invested
inthe manufacture of dynamite in the
United States, and its use is constantly on
the increase. The fumes of nitro-glycerine
produce intense headache, which can be
cured by taking a very 'small dose of it in-
ternally.
The debate on the clauses relating to
Prince Edward Island was continued by
Mr. Davies, Sir John Thompson and Mr.
Mills (Bothwell).
The biil`from the Senate to make further
provision for land grants to members of the
militia force in the Northwest waa, read a
first time.
The bill from the Senate to amend the
Winding -lip Act was read a first time.
M r. Dewdney's Bill to amend the Domin-
ion Land Act was read a third time after
some amendments.
The House then took concurrence in the
estimates passed in Committee, of Supply.
On items relating to penitentiaries,,
Sir John Thompson, replying to Sir Rich-
ard Cartwright, stated that it was proposed
to proceed soon with the construction of two
buildinga at Kingston, one for criminal
lunatics and the other for female criminals.
There was room for one of these on the
present penitentiary property, but for the
other a site would have to be acquired. ,
On conurrence in the vote for customs.
Mr. Chapleau, in answer to Sir Richard
Cartwright, said changes had been made in
the customs service by a reduction in the
number of officers fortuerly entitled to
share in fines and in 'amulggled goods for-
feited to the Crown. Collectors over a cer-
tain Salary would have no share in fines or
p:izares.
On the item respect- the Sault Ste.
Marie Canal,
Sir Richard Cartwright aaked if the Gov-
ernment was in possession of information to
the effect that the Government were about
to close the American Sault Canal to Cana-
dian traffic.
Sir John Thompson replied they had
heard nothing of it, extent what had ap-
peared in the newspapers, giving the text
of what purported to be the President's
message. Negotiations had been carried on
between the two Governments respecting
this subject The Canadian Government
had cent a despatch to Washington, which
kunst have reached the President about the
time be sent his message to the American
Senate. He thought a satisfactory settle-
ment would be reached. He (Sir John
Thompson) had promised that, a statement
would be made to the House on the subject,
and the documents laid on the table. This
had been postponed pending the receipt of
information as to the exact character of the
President's message: The Finance Minister
(Mr. Foster) would be in the House to -mor-
row, and he would make a. statement either
then or at an early day. -
Sir John Thompson announced that as
next week there would be two holidays,
Wednesday a statutory holiday and Friday
Dominion Day, he proposed that they be
observed. , He made the announcement in
order that members - could make what
arrangements they wished. r'
The House went into committee on the
bill to amend the Patent Act.
Sir Richard Cartwright could not agree
to the extension of the term• of patents to
eighteen. years, as fifteen years was quite as
long as any single patent should live.
Mr. Carling said it was not intended to
extend the time of present patents, but
only those issued, henceforth-,
Sir- McMullen moved that fifteen years
be the term forthe life of a patent.
The amendment was lost, the clause car-
ried, and the bill reported.

The House went into committee on the
Criminal Code_
Mr. Curran said that his attention had
been called to the provisions of section 269,
by the S. P. C. and W. of Montreal,
whereby anyone carnally knowing a girl
under It years of age is liable to imprison-
ment for life, and in accordance with their
request he moved that the age be raised
to 16.
Sir John Thompson pointed ont that
although he had the utmost respect for
philanthropists of the kind mentioned, it
mast be remembered that a terrible punish-
ment was provided for the offence. The
clause was for the protection of children,
and it could not be made to corer the case
of women.
A clause reads : "After the commence-
ment of this act no grand jury shall present
that any one has committed an offence ex-
cept upon a bill of indictment duly set be-
fore them. Ch After the commencement of
this Act no one shall be tried upon any
coroner's ingni.eition."
Mr. Daties said this clause limited the ;
powers which the grand jury at present
exercised to the benefit of the public. It
world interfere with the investigating
powers of grand juries.
• Sir John Thompson said it was not the
intention of the Act to limit the vestigat-
iog powers of grand juries, but rovide
against the eptmging of an indictment in a
summary manner.
