Mr. John Morley, who was the chief speaker, replied to Mr. Chamber- lain's recent apeech at Birmingham. denied that the Gladatonian position was not perfectly aeon The Liberale, he said, stood with their feet upon a rock. Mr. Gladstone had announced his assent to modifications of his original Home Rule plan, and every one of his colleagues who had been concerned nippreparing the Bill had also cordially assented. What more did anybody want 'to know? He was amazed that Mr. Chamberlain did not pro- duce his own plan. Was Mr. Chamberlain against Home Rule altogether? The Gladstonians wanted to know also what Radicals like Mr. Chamber- lain thought about the doings at Mitehells. town, Ennis and other places. As for Chamberlain's urging a postponement of Irish for English legislation, theposition of Ireland, the speaker said, would not allow Parliament to deal with other affairs.

A strong force of police was present, but their services were not needed, as the proceedings were orderly throughout. The Canadian Northwest.

At a meeting of the Council of the Board of Trade this afternoon a report was pre- fiented by the Secretary in which the total yield of wheat for this year in the Province is placed at 11,000,000 bushels, giving 7,000;000 bushels for export. This, with the surplus of other products, will realize about $7,000,000. The average yield of wheat for the Province will be about 25 bushels to the acre, and may probably reach 30. One hundred cars of wheat passed through the C. P. R. yards yesterday en. route to Port Arthur from points in South- ern Manitoba and between this city and Brandon. The railway company reports the wheat movements brisker every day, and their locomotive power will shortly be taxed to its utmost.

When he left the prison he was as vigorous. looking as when he was first arrested. Hes has yet formed no plans for the future! Its wail announced some time ago that he would tell all he knew about almshouse! irregularities when he was released, be- cause he fancied that his quondam friends had deserted him in hit hour of need.
