The Attorney•General presented aim the

time :
To regulate the charters of Loan Com-
panies.
To inoreeze the effiaienoy of the local
courts of the county of York.
• To further amend the laws respecting the
solemnization of marriage.
Mr. Meredith presented a bill to amend
Ohe Ontario Controverted Elections Act,
whioh was read the first time.
The Attorney -General on motion to ad-
journ made a brief etatement respecting the
Cabinet changes made einem laat session.
He said: Three appointments were made,
two of them being changes in the composi-
tion of the Government and the third an
additional appointment. The hon. mem-
ber for Ottawa is now a member of the
Government without portfolio. We were
anxious to have his madame, but his
private business makes it imposeible for
him to accept a portfolio. He is one of
the ablest badness men in the Dominion,
and belongs to the eaetern part of the Pro-
vince, and is familiar with the intereets,
feelings and wishes of that section. The
Government felt that it would be advisable
to get his assistance, especially daring the
session of Parliament, and at other times
when he is able to come. It is quite in ao.
°ordains with the constitution and with
the British praatice in this country to have
members of the Cabinet without portfolio.
At this moment Mr. Smith and Mr. Abbott
in the Dominion Government are without
portfolio.
Mr. Meredith—Senators.
Mr. Mowat—At present there are mem.
hers of Ceibinete without portfolio in
'Quebec', Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island, and in Britain it
has been a common thing to have such
members in either house.
Mr. Meredith premised his remarks by
saying that he meant no personal reflection
on the gentleman to whom be would refer.
He aside, My hon, friend, contrary to the
principles' laid down by his predeamors, is
content to maintain his Cabinet of lawyers,
for, except the ornamental Minister who
has jut been added in the person of the
member for Ottawa( Mr. Bronson), there is
but one member of the cabinet who is not a
lawyer. While the hon. gentleman's
remarks gave some the reasons for bringing
the member for Ottawa into the Cabinet,
there was one more potent than all, I think
—that it would help to carry the Ottawa
*strict at the last election.
The Attorney-General—He was not
appointed until after the election.
Mr. Meredith—But there Was a pretty
good understanding. On public grounde,
however, the appointment was an objec-
tionable one. The provisions of the statute
wieely exclude from membership in this
House anybody holding a contraot or office
of emolument tinder the Government. The
reason is that rightly or wrongly men must
be influenced by considerations of that
kind. The hon. gentleman hes a timber
license under the Government. The At.
torney. General says 'the hon. gentleman
would be able to give valuable advice with
regard to the lumber interest. What
position these he place the hongentleman
in? Of the revenues one-third come from
the timber. The hon. gentleman or hie
firm has large transections with the Pro-
vince. The hon. gentleman may easily
find himself where his interest as a lumber-
man would point in one direction, hia duty
• as member of the Government in the other.
Without reflecting on the hon. menaber for
Ottawa, the principle of his appointment
was a bad one, and it might not to have
been made.
Mr, H. E. Olsake said he had been sur-
prised to see a statement mad° by the hon.
Attorney•General on a platform in the city
that hie Government heed received a major-
ity of the votes of the people in the general
elections.
Hon. Mr. Dlowat—I believe that fe true.
Mr. Clarke teplied that the Attorney -
General inight.have aacertained that it was
not true had he wished to know aborit the
matter. In conclusion of his speeoh he
saked the hon. Treasurer when the public
accounts would be brought down -
Hon. Mr. liamourt replied that he oottld
not pet day, but that it would be early.
The following petitions were paesented :
Mr. Conanse—Againet the Port Arthn

Mr. Harcourt—From the Synod of
Niagara, in regard to certain trust funds

Mr. Alagwood asked for an order of the
House for a return 'showing the date of the
certificate of the judgee appointed to try
the election petition in the North Perth
election case.
Mr. Mowat, in reply, stated that in the
case of North Perth the judges' report was
dated the 10th of December, 1890, and it
was received by the clerk on December the
llth, 1890. The new writ was dated
Deoember 3011), 1890, and wee signed and
completed on that day. That writ had
been forwarded to the returning officer on
the 31s1 December. He supposed this
would cover what was meant by "the
issue."
Mr. Metcalfe moved for a copy of the
oonanaission issued with respect to Bah and
game proteotion, and of any instrnotions
acoompanying the same or connected
therewith.
Mr. Mowat said the papers would be laid
before the House. The report had not yet
been received.
Mr. Meredith—Was this postponed on
scoount of the elections'?
Mr. Ross—We were fishing at the time
of the elections.
The motion stands.
Mr. Meredith asked whether the report
of the Prison Reform Commission would be
brought down this session?
Mr. Mowat replied that part of the re.
port is now in type. He was not in a posi-
tion to give precise information. The work
was being pushed forward with all dili.
genoe.

THE BEHRING SEA, SEALS.
Favorable Turn in the Negotia-
tions for a Settlement.
ARBITRATION NOW PROBABLE.
A. Washington despatoh says: The
ilehriug Sea negotiations have taken a moat
favorable turn and the Government's of the
United Steles and Great Britain appear to
have at length reached a basis upon which
to Pottle their difficulties', as is evidenoed
by a conanaunicattion from Lord Salisbury
to Sir Julian Paurioefote, British Minister
here, which WWI laid before Seoretery
Blaine. In Olio communication Lord
Saliebury says : It is now quite clear that
advisers of the President do not olaim
Behring See as a mare clausum, and indeed
that they repudiate that contention in
expressea terms. Nor do they rely &B a
justifiaation for the aeizure ot British ships
in the open sea upon the contention that
the interests of the seal fisheries give to the
United Stittee Government any right for
the purpose, whioh, according to inter-
national law, it would not otherwise pos.
sees, whatever importance they attach to
preservation of the fur seal species, and
they justly look on it aa an object deeerv-
ing the most serious' eolioitude. They do
not conceive that it confere upon any read -
time powers rights over the open oossan
which that power could not reassert on other
grounds.
Lord Salisbury aseerts that the treaty
between Great Britain and Ramis in 1825,
on which Mr. Blaine lays stress, does not
contain a word to eignify the aoquiescenas
of Great Britain in the claim put forward
by Runde to control the waters of the Bea
for 100 miles from her coast. Lord Salis-
bury says no objection will be offered by
his Government to the first and second
questions proposed for arbitration by Mr.
Blaine. They are :
What exclusive jurisdiction in Behriug Sea
and what exclusive rights in the seal fisheries
therein did Russia assert and exercise up to the
time of the cession of Alaska to the United
es ?far were these claims of jurisdiction as to
theseal
et seal fisheries recognized and conceded by
Great Britain?
Th third question is:
Was the body of water now known as Behring
Ses, included in the phrase "Pacific Ocean," as
used in the treaty of 1525 between Great Britain
and Russia, and what rights, if any, in Behring
Sea were given or conceded to Great Britain by
the said treaty?
Lord Salisbury does doee not object to
referring the firet part of the queetion to
arbitration, but will not admit the decision
of it can conclude the larger question in-
volved. He excepts to the part concerning
the righte in Behring Sea conceded by
treaty, and says Russia did not give any
rights to Great Britain in Behring Sea
because they were never hers to give away.
He is willing to accept the proposition
implied in the fourth question that Russia's
rights ae to juriediction in Behring Sea
passed unimpeaotted to the United Stetes.
As to the fifth question, Lord Salisbury
says the first dense, "What are now the
rights of the United States as to the fur
seal fisheries in the waters of Behring Sea
onteide of the ordinary territorial limits ?"
would be very properly referred to an
arbitrator, but the subsequent clause whioh
REEDIEICS that such right could have grown
out of the ownerehip of the breedingislands
and the habite of the seale in resorting
thereto involve an assumption as to the
prescriptions of international law to whioh
Her Majesty's Government are not prepared
to accede.
Lord Salisbury conoludes as followa
There is an omission in the questions
which I have no doubt the Government of
the President will be very glad to repair
and that is the reference to the arbitration
of the question what damages are doe to
the persons who have been injured in case
it shall be determined by him that the
motion of the United States in seizing
British vessels has been without warrant
in international law. Subject to these
reservations, Her Majesty's Government
will have great satisfaction in joining with
the Government of the United States in
seeking by means of arbitration an adjast-
ment of the international questions which
have so long formed a matter of contro-
versy between the two governments.
Mr. Blaine, I am credibly told, is
anything but satisfied with Lord Salis-
bury's response to his arbitration proposal
in the Behring Sea matter. Mr. Blaine, it
will be remembered, more than once told
the British Minister in substance
last year that this country had
certain rights in Behring Sea which
it would never share with another power,
and whioh President Harrison would never
consent to refer to the judgment of any
arbitrator. All the same, he proposed to
Sir Julien Paunoefote last December to
submit these exceptional claims to -arbitra-
tion by proposing that the arbitrator
should pass upon the question as to
the rights of the United States as to the
fur seal fieheries in the waters of
Behring Sea growing out of the ownership
of the breeding islends and the habits of
the sealin resorting thither. From the
standpoint of his previous position Mr.
Blaine's offer to submit this question to
arbitration was a large concession to the
interests of peace. Bat Lord Salisbury
now tells Mr. Blaine, through the British
Minister, that Her Majesty's Government
will not consent to arbitrate such a ques-
tion. He twits Mr. Blaine with assuming
that something is in the law of nations
whioh is not there. Namely, a continuing
property in wild and common animals by
a power to whoee territorial dominions
such animale at times resort.
Diplomatic opinion here sustains' Lord
Salisbury's refusal to arbitrate the above
stated question. Diplomats] say that to
submit to arbitration anything already
clearly settled by international, law would
be to invite an arbitrator between two die.
putants, to alter the law of nation a accord-
ing to hie own view and jadgraptnt, a con-
tingency that would reduce international
law to 011&OS and wlaioh the nations
would never tolerate. Surprise is expressed
at some of the legations that Mr. Blaine
has not sought a concerted declaration
from the powers as to the oironmstancee
tinder which any of them might exercise
an exoeptional and protective jurisdiction
over wild animal's in the preservation of
which the civilized world had a common
interest. I am advised that if Lord Sans,
bury snd Mr. Blaine should ever agree to
arbitrate the question whether the
'United Stetes may not assert an
extraordinary jurisdiction over the seal
fishery by reason of its ownership of the
breeding islands, the European Cabinets
would probably and promptly signify their
intention not to regard the arbitration as
a settlement of ouch a question, however it
might reault,
The practical consequence of Lord Sella.
bury's 'Meet despetoh appears to be thattir.
Blaine will have to make a further retreat
than he effeoted by Me note of last Deeem-
ber to the British Minister if he wialaes to
settle the Behring Sea question before he
leaves office. The prevailing opinion here
is that he will complete the retrograde
movement theft begun, by availing himself
of Lerd Salisbury's admission that the

A Man's Idea of an:Apron.
As for the apron, the average man knows
he likes it, and yet he can't tell just why.
He says very vagnely : Well, you know,
it's white and has such cunning pockets,
and the strings tie so prettily about the
waist; and than, don't you know, it's so
essentially womanly. The fellow who looks
at it always thinks to himself that girl
knows something about making a home,
and he can imagine her with' an apron
on walking around in the morning and
seeing that her anneehold is in order.' In
the apron is the very essence of coquetry.

Snowing on the Straw stack.
" The Biotin" in the Toronto Telegram :
Yesterday a prisoner in Toronto jail looked
up through the barred window of his cell
and saw the white snow flaking softly
down. It made him home -sick, for he
knew that it was snowing on the old straw
stook behind the barn, snowing on the
spotted steer that the ill-natured cow
refused the ehelter of the shed, 'snowing on
the lazy sheep lying on the naked knoll,
snowing on the old mare standing up
sound asleep in front of the tool house,
snowing on the pigs lifting the wet straw
with their handy and skilful snouts, snow-
ing on the pump, on the back kitchen
and on his poor old mother's grave.

earth on it, for thie is the first snow that
ever whitened it. He oouldn't go to the
funeral because he was in jail. The heart
that loved him so well ceased to beat, and
the sharp agony of shame and grief was
her best friend.
Yes, the mow that fell on the big jail
roof was the same snow/ that whitened the
grave in the country churchyard, and his
bursting heart travelled down through the
frozen sods and lifted the heavy lid, and
lay down and wept beside the dear mother
whose tired hands were folded, whose lov-
ing lips were cold, whose beautiful eyes
were closed, whose faithful feet would haste
to help him never no more.

The Best Time
To work, while you can.
To sow wild oats—never.
To sing, when you feel like it.
To ory, is while you can't help it.
To laugh, is when you can afford to.
The best time to think, is before you ad.
To take care of your health, ie before you
lose it.
To make a good resolution, is when yon
intend to keep it.
To judge another, is when you are intthe
same predicament.
The best time to stop your meanness, ies
before you begin.—.Ram's Horn.
