to the position on the Haa Bard stat(
mads vaeaat by the death of Dr. Brad-

mended for the pomtfoo of editor of

ly adopted.
The Speaker Wormed the Hone

creed of tete election of Mr. Loafs G.
Deems log the eketoral district of

Mr. Darin renamed the debate on the
address. After a,gu.re' at some length
that the Liberal tariff afforded no re-
lief to the farmers of the country lie
appealed to the Speaker, as a man of
powerful imagination. well acquainted
with tbe Liberal party, to Imagines,
what the Olathe of Hon. Gem gv
Brown and Roo. Mex. �ladteasle
would may were they to revisit the
Hous• of Comapwu at the present duty.
The fluent westerner gave a graphic
picture of the vision as It appeared to
him, and of the dlaltgte between tbe
two great statesmen as they re
Med elr Wtlfrki Laurier and rho
members of hie Cabinet. Mr. Davin at-
tacked Mr. Bltton, ridiculing the
speeches be has made and the proph-
inenoe ghee to him by Liberal news-
papers. Then Mr. Davin accused the
vowressst of -haring deanaae$vtl:
Patrons by their pledges to bring In a
Purely revenue tariff. The retention of
wet Sir Richard Cartwr'glit called
"the vMalay of the protective ayntrm"
In their tariff by the Government af-
ter their pledges. he said was one of
the mast Immoral speetecies that has
ever been witneseed In say ootntry.
The fernery et the :tortbwest had
been shamefully betrayed by the Gov-
ernment. which promttred that it they
were returned they would gave them a
tariff from which every ve■st1g. M pro-

PAW the Minister of Publo Works was
behind the Prime Minister giving him
Pointers. 110 was a great admirer of
the Premier, but be would say Whim
that be must not always rely upon the
advice given him by the Minister of
Public Works, aa there wan never
aro man 6. public life In any country
so discredited as the present Minister
of Public Warta waa. The whole lion -
est Liberalism of Quebec wee In re-
volt against hint. and the Liberal. of
western Canada, too, are to revolt,
but tbroegh some extraordinary pow-
er he continues to occupy his place
01 la0eeaee with the Prime Minister.
Some French Liberals are asking
tbe•mmelves the question : "Where 1s It
g'Ang td mod f la 1t going to land the
ship upon the roaring sea of corrup-
tion, rolling on without measure?"
Mr. Davin then proceeded todiecoso
matters relating to the Yukon. Mr.
Ogilvie was, be admitted, a good en-
gineer. bat he was. be declared. ea
unfit as his (Mr. Devine) friend Meer
Walsh proved to be for the portion of
Commisloner. The Information he
had received was that Mr.OgtivIe 1n
order to ratio money put a tax upon
women who were plying an improper
trade.
Mr. Iloesvtlle, who had recently re-
turned from the Yukon, at once gave
the statement it dedsl, but Mr. Davin
repeated It. and added that 911,000
was rated in thle manner in one
day.
Mr. Damville again gave the state -
meat a most emphatic dental. but Mr.
Darin refired to accept 1t on the
ground that the Minister of the Inter-
ior was the proper authority to give
the denial. if one were required. and
000tpMJned that when so important
a question waa ander dieenadon the
M)neter wase not 1e. )tis peace.
Sir Wllfrld Laurier stated that the
Minster of the Interior was detained
from hie official duties by a rather
serious Illness. and Mr. Davin apolo-
gised and withdrew he ceneare. Con-
tinuing, Mr. Davin made a number of
charges against Mr. Ogilvie's admin.
*traitor* of affairs la the Yukon. Mr.
Ogilvie. he added had mot the exter-
ior for the pusitnn. sad bad not the
weight nor the appearance for the
pouiton, and It would M found that
he had made great mistaken. He was
M with Mr. Fawcett. so he was told:
aro he was closely related. a cousin.
of the Minlater of the Interior, which
he dad not think quite proper.
At 6 o'clock Mr. Davin laid not con-
tended Ihis remarks.
At tide evening's session of the House
Mr. Davin spoke for another hoar and
a halt, making the total length of his
. peeclh four boars and a hall. He spoke
to an almost empty Home, and then
were very few In the gallery. Re
continued his attack upon the Inter.
for Department. alleging that there
was rosoething that needed explana-
tion about the payment of 97 per
head for the transportation of the
Doukhobor* to Canada. He said thee
money had been paid to Count Tolatol
or the Doikhobor., and was more
than wax required for the leasing of
tine ship to bring them from Hatonm.
He charts/1 Sir Rickard Cartwright
with nepotism. saying that members
of his family were In the public ear -

BUFFERING FROM GRIPPE.
For two weeks the deceased had su1
lered from In erlppe. but wee lie ex-
cellent merits la the More the last
night of h4 life. He left the store at
fe o'clock, and on reanhtng home sat
up until eleven reading " Nicbofae

unnecessary. Notices were leered
that the funeral would take place
on Saturlay at 3 p. m.. but the in-
terment took place on the Friday at
