The Olobe's Ottawa c:orespondent points out the waste of time thet goes on it Ottawa on account of chronic talk! talktalk! by a few men. The result, according to the corresponeerrt, is that many private members, quite capable of contributing to discussion ds!) not get a chance. There really should -be some limit set to Speeches. The mover of an important measure might be given plenty of sea rooni, but all other Speakers Should be limited in some manner, . It seems to be generally understood at Ottawa that the disputed questions between; the State's and Canada will l*subnaitted to a joint .commission. this year. It will sit at )ttaws, it is said; and Sir Julian Pauncelot, Sir Richard Cartwright and Sir Louis Davies are narned as the British and Canadian representatives. There seems no doubt hut that the Alaskan ques- tions—seals and gold—have prorriPted this conference, and that a measure of trade reciprocity will be the most in3- portant consideration. • The blue books of the Department of Marine Fisheries for the year ending June 30th, 1897, is athand, and shows that onithe Lake Huron shore from 'Cape Hurd to Point Edward there.were engaged in the industry 10 tugs with 92"aren, 91 sail boats with 176.men, 197,100 fathcrus of gill nets, 4. ice houses and 2 peirs.

A petition haa been addressed to the Hon. Sydney Fieher, Minister of Agriculture, and to the Ministers of Agriculture of the Local Sovernments of fantario and Quebec by the Butter and Cheese Aesociation, of Montreal, asking the ministers to warn butter makers against.the use of boracic acid which is an adulterant, under the English law. In view of this, export - eels have been requested by their jib -OA -correspondents co give certifi seates, guaranteeing that the butter they ship is absolutely pnre and frets from boracic aid. "Preservaline is said to contain boracic acid, and con- sequently farmers are advised not to use it. All butter entering the United Kingdom, will be examined by analysts LUCKNOW ONTARIO, FILIDAY.
