Mr. Barron, on the 'reeinniption Of the debate on th btrd reading of the bill to inoorporate tho Grand Orange Lodg of British Americo., awl the araeodmeat by Mr, Curren that the eaid order be not allowed to hold processions in province/a which have made legal enautenente &gallon them, said : I must coefesti to a feeling ,• of dieeppointneent that the time of the in- troduonon of this bill dog), not permit me to anewer mine a the erguinents which were advanced agitinet It on two forrner oc- Cadens, namely, in 1883 and 1685. I am rejoiced to know thet time has done what • argument failed to do upon that occasion. Time has °omen:toed the majority of hon. members that it ie advisable and desirable in the intereats of j maim that the Orange- men should receive ineorporation. There ie nothing in this bill legalizing secret societies, It legalized it simply for bene- volent purposes. I think it is perfeutly clear that this Home oan pass this bill without in any wayenterfering with the law 01 Lower Canada. There is a law, in Quebec .. affecting Montreal, wherein it is provided that saietiete such as this oennot hold pro- , cessions. Thia bill will not affect that law. I assert it, without fear of oontrediotion, that that law will remain the Law; and when the member asked that his amendment be em- bodied in the bill he was ' only trying to duplicate, so ,to speak, the law, so far as eQuebeo is oomonlyerned. ' He. is ily &eking ns to do what is the law already, end will remain the law in Quebec. Mr Aymot-1 do not intend to say °mole but wish to say that this bill means aggres- • pion against the Catholics. I will vote Againm the amendment of the member for • Montreal. Mr. Lavergne moved that all the words in the principal motion and amendment be ,struok out and the following' substituted: • "That this bill be read a third time this • .day BM months." The House divided on the amendment to the amendment for this six months' hoist, which was lciat ou a vote 01 63 yeas and 86 WV. YEAs-mossrs. Anayot, Baiu (Soulauges), Beal:wad, Bergerou.

Beohardaet am opposed to the -amendment, bemuse by voting for it I would be admitting the principle of the Bill. I am sure that during the course of my. life 1 have never had any ,personal .animosity against any man because be is an Orangeman. I object to this Bill simply upon the ground that it inoorpomtes .-a secret society, and while I believe in the .greatest freedom, I am opposed to seeret societies in a country like Canada. Mr. Casey said he would vote against the amendment for ranole the same reason -as the previous speaker. He did not • believe that the House had any power to y prohibit processions in any Province in • Canada. It was a matter with which the . Provinces alone oonld deal. The mere fact that a scheme of mutual insurance was added did not change the character of the -association. There was no comparison between this organizetion and the .Foresters, who were incorporated last year. The latter was purely a benefit society for the purpose of mutual insurance and , harmless jollifieetion once every year. The Orange assooiation is a politico - religious orgauizetien. It could no more be compared to the Foresters than could the Somety of Jesuits to a Methodist alms meeting. The House divided on Mr. Carran's amendmennwhich was defeated on a vote of' .23 yeas and 124 nays. The members who voted in the affirms - tive were: Toes-etessre.

Middleton qt htieao aisolanned any knowledge of the fare. The uestion arose, whaemme of en? (Mr. 'deter) belieted he would be able to preve that they were taken away by Gen. Middleton. Ile (Mr. Lister) had evi- penoe to shove that from time to time the friends of officers in corarriand received letters authorizing them to take fura from Bremner's etook, that when Gen. leliddle• ton was leaving the Northweat four lama were pecked of BreranerM fare, that two of them wore for Gen. Middleton and the other two were addressed to Reed and Bea - eon. What beeame oe the Nes after he could not my, and it wae for the purpose of ascertaining that fact thee he tithecl for a select committee. It wa3 extraordinary that the Governneent ehould refuse to ha vestigate these olehns,' Mr. Lister, resuming, said many leading citizens of the Northwest pledgea their word that these °bargee were true. The very least the Government should do would be • to investigate them claims, 'Mr. McDowell said that these halfbreeda were Mt French but Soon% halfbreads. He did not believe that Gen. Middleton or Mr. Reed had taken Bremner's fare, but at the stone time he thought that Bremner had a case against the Government. He believed 63,500 would cover Bremner's Mr. Watson mid that the charges neede by the member for West Lameiton could be proven if the committee of investigation were appointed. There were other matters which should be inveatigated. It could be proven that pillaging and moat outrageous conduct were carried on by offieers and others who went to the Northwest during rebellion. ' Mr. Edgar said it was only British fair play to allow then halfbreeds an oppor- tunity of Proving their dramas. Sir John Thompson said this case had been folly investigated, and these people had had ample opportunity to prove their i claims. The comnnssion, after nvestigat- ing, had reported that these claims &add not be paid, because these people had par. ticipatedin the rebellion. He reoognized the faot that the claims for Bremner's furs rested upon different grounds. An, inquiry had been made, and from a claim of 67,000 it dwindled down to e3,000. The Govern. raent hid no money to pay that claim without consulting the House. If the matter went,into court the charges against these officers would there be investigated. Mr. Laurier said that at last the Govern- ment had.admitted the charge that Charles Bremner had been despoiled of his pro. perty. If this man bad been despoiled, undoubtedly . the. Government of Canada was lieble. But there *as a public offence as well as this private grievance, and if there had been such a wrong committed it wa3 the duty of the 'Government to reo- tify it: • Mr. O'Brien said the claims for compen- sation could easily be disposed of, but the serious charges made against a gentleman who •occupied the highposition of men mender of Her Majesty's forces in Canada were such as could not be passed over in silenoe. The allegations should be sub. atantiated or the imputations withdrawn. There seemed to be no doubt that a system of looting prevailed to & considerable ex- tent in the Northwest rebellion. It was a practice as could not be too severely con- demned, and their soldiers should be made aware thatthe Government and country would not permit suph conduct and would follow it with severe punishment. Mr. Lister said the faot that the Govern- ment was attempting to bark the inveati• getion therein threw a suspicion on those implicated. He would ailment to restrict the resolution to the investigation of the charegs against Gen. Middleton, Hayter Reed and Mr. Bedsore, if the Government would accept that. Sir Richard Cartwright thought this enggeetion should be accepted, and in order that it might be brought befere the House he moved in amendment that a select com- mittee be appointed to inquire into the question of the disposal of the furs. Sir John Macdonald said that this was altogether a new proposition. It would be abhorrent to British justice to have an in- vestigation going on at Ottawa into the actions of Gen. Middleton while a snit was pending against , him in the West. He • therefore moved the adjournment of the debate in order that the Government might consider the matter, and he promised that there would be ample opportunity given this session to further discuss the question. • Mr. Salver drew attention to the great abuses which exist upon our frontier, in what was oalledline stores. These stores were built upon the boundary line partly in Canada and partly in the States. A great deal of illicit traffic; went on in these planes, especially in liquors. Mr Bowell said there had been no direct communication with the States on the sub. pion but there bad 'been some negotiations marled on by some of his (Mr. Bowen's) officers with the spatial agents of the States to co-operate to prevent these abuses. It was almost impossible, where there was merely an imaginary line to put a stop to this illiort•traffio..

'Whatever may be thought of the bill he moved. ite firat reading. The bill was read e first time. Mr. Amyot asked if in conferring the rank of Q. C., it was intended by the Gov- ernment that this should apply to the courts maintained by the Provincial or those maintained by the Dominion. The follow/mg Bills were read a third time and passed: Respecting the St. Catharines di Niagara Central Railway Company. To incorporate the Interprovincial Bridge Company. Mr. Brown, on the order for the coma. eration of the bill for further prevention of cruelty. to aniraals being celled, stated that as owing to unavoidable oirctanatanoes many members were absent he would ask the House to allow the bill to stead. et ore° with their wives and families or Wenneesee, New Jeray, Rhode Island, annoy male and New York, there afi nallOh dieni[iiOn Spa the improvement of the wagon roads.

Governor Hill, of New York, in hie last message, eeggeeted that the State ehould proceed M oonetruot throngh every county two highways, running in different directions and intersecting eaoh other in about the °entre of the county --such roads to form a pert of a complete general sys- tem, them itt eteoh county to maned with those of adjoining oonntiee, and to be known everywhere as Stete roads, constructed, oared for and maintained at the expense of the State at large, under the direction and supervision of the State engineer and sur- veyor or other competent authority to be designated. This system, when °RCS completed, would enable a person to start from New York City, Albany or any other point, on foot or in carriage, and vieit every county in the State without once leaving the State roads, thus insuring comfort, oonvenienoe, pleasure and eped. These reads should be ineoadamized or construoted of crushed stone or other enitable material, with proper culverts, good bridges, adequate drainage, watering troughs inecl sign boards, so as to compare favorably with the beet country needs in other countries; and existing highways could be, utilized for this purpose so far as feasible. These state roads, he said, would not only prove of great convenience and vita advarilage to the whole community, but they would serve as " object lemons " to the local authorities, the effeot of which would neoessarily tend to inaprove the ordinary town highways and prove of in- estimable benefit. It is not believed that the people of the oities of the State would object to this improvement, but that, on the contrary, they will hail it with pleasure, as during the Bummer raonths they flak to the country in large numbers and are deeply interested in all that oon. cerne the material program, development and prosperity of the rural districts, In the Pennsylvannia Legislature an iron traok is regarded with favor. Mr. Neidig, a meohanioal engineer, thns de- soribes ite working: "An iron traok, "somewhat analogous to a street•oar track, " timid be provided for the wheels. This "way be an iron bar, six or eight inches " wideilat on the under and slightly concave '" on the upper sarfe,oe. It is not necessary 'if to do ranch grading; the team travels "between the rails, and this space may be "cobbled, graveled or oiled ered, or left un - "improved, as the main thing has been "secured -a roadway for the wheels.

What a market for iron it would open up! ieir Hector Langevin, on the order for the resumption of the debate on the motion with reference to the Bresaylor half-breeds being oalled, asked a further postponement on amount of the absence of the First Minister. Mr. Limier said this motion involved serious charges against Gen. Middleton, and as there was no legal proceedings being taken a committee of inveatigation should forthwith be appointed. Sir John Thompson said that he had not learned till to -day tient legal proceedings on behalf of Bremner against Gen. Middle- ton had been withdrawn. Mr. Mitabell said that this was a publio • einestion affecting the reputation of Canada and should now be investigated. Sir Hector Lengevin promised that an early opportanity would be given to rename the debate. Mr. Mulook said that in the proposed distribation of barley it was announced that the Government would charge at the rate of 114 per bag, two bushels in eaoh bag. He thought the Government would ao well to give it free distribution. Sir Hector Lengevin replied that he would bring the matter to the attention of the Government. Sir Sohn Thompson, in introduoing the bill to tea/Defer certain publics property to the Provincial Governments, said that the rights of the Dominion of Canada and the rights of the Provinces in certain properties and waters of the country had been in a state of uncertainty for some tifne past. • These were foreshores, bade of rivers and • beds of lakes. The bill providee to onset conditions under which the Governor -in - Council could transfer all or part of these properties to the Provinces. • Mr. Blake -It is not intended to sur- render legislative rights, but simply pro- prietary rights ? Sir John Thompson -It is merely in- tended to sttraender proprietary rights. The Bill was read a first time. Mr. Fisher, on motion being made that the House go into supply, called attention to the proposed tariff changes. The agriculturist was the greatest menufaotarer in Canada, and if manufaotnrers were to be protected and aided there was no amnion vehicle required more assistance than the farmers. Is was manifestly abaurd that in Canada they were obliged to import about two millions and a half annually of products of animals. In the feediog of stook cheap food was the prime essential. He gave a summary of relative exports from the States and Canada. Cheese wee the only export from Canada that could compare with the Ameri- can exports. He moved that in the opinion of the House oorn should be put on the free list. Mr. Foster said the Government had to meet this motion in the same way as all similar motions affecting the tariff, which were brought before the House, when they had the subject under consideration. The following bills were read a third bus: To confer on the Commissioner of Pedants certain powers for the relief Samuel May. Respecting the Grand Trunk, Georgian Bay & Lake Erie Railway Company. • The House went into Committee of Sanely. Among the items imaged were $50,900 for Toronto harbor and $40,000 for Riviera du 'Loup, Quebec. On motion for adjournment Mr. Bowen, in the absence of the Minister of Finance' said that the budget would not be brought down next week. WALKING WITH A. LADY. The Gentleman Should Always Keep Her to the Hight. It is a generally conoeimd opinion that a gentleman Walking with a lady ehould walk on the outer side of the sidewalk. This idea dome very well for a country town, but in a great oity where thoneande upon thou - made of people, all in more a less of a hurry, are continually passing, it is a very ppor rule to follow. One writer on the sub- ject eays " The daty of a gentleman is to protect the lady he is welking with; to take all the hard knocke, joetlea and possible umbrella tips to himself, shielding the weaker vessel from many disagreeribles, and to do this she mnet invariably be on the gentleman's right side, where she can promenade at her ease, guarded by hie manly form, and not being obliged one half tho time to take all the buffs and rebuffs constantly recurring in a crowded thoroughfare." Now, if some of the social leaders of this oity were to take the estab- lishment a this custom into their bands it would not be long before Boston could boast of a fad that would be a great benefit to the ladies of the community, and one that I hope to see a recognized custom in the course of not a great number of years. -Boston Traveler.

Sad Drowning Accident in Toronto. liabert Baillie was drowned in Toronto Bay on Saturday afternoon. He lived comparatively unknown, with no relatives and but few friends in the city, but he died a hero. A. man attempted to walk aoross the Bay to the Island, and reached the centre, when the ice gave way. He was seen by some skaters, Baillie and a fellow - boarder named Robert Mills, of 75 Walton street. They hastened toward him, and Baillie, ekating carefully on the thin, dangerous ice, pulled him oat it a half dazed condition. Just then the ice on which they were standing gave way and Baillie and Mills went down with it. Mills got out bat etrength had been ex- hausted by his previous labor of rescue and he sank beneath the water. No assistance could be rendered and he perished. The drowned man was a young Sootchman of 20. Ele had been a year in Canada and was a gardener by trade. A telegram was despatched to his brother near Winnipeg and he will arrive in time for the funeral. The body es in the morgue.
