Mr. Davies, on a motion for returns,
stated that over 200 miles of the rails of the
Prince Edward Island Beltway laid in 1873,
with the exception of 63 miles, had been re-
laid.The rails were ebeolutely worn out

the Government would investigate the
matter.
Mr. Hyman, in moving for papers re-
lating to the locality for holdinmthe camp
of Militia District No. 1 for 1890 and 1891,
said that if the eamp was held in any other
place than London an injustice we being
• done to that city. London had purchased
the Carling farm and conveyed it to the
-Goverement, one condition of mid teansfer
being that it should be used as the camping
ground of the District No. 1. In 1890 the
camp had been taken to Stratford, it was
isaid as a politioal bribe, but it bad not been
encoesefal, as they bed representing thee
district a gentleman who was not entirely
in accord with the Government. As a
punishment to London, and as a reward to
Si. Themes, it was to be given to the latter
this year.
Sir Adolphe Citron said that since he had
been the head of the Militia Department
London had had a oamp oftener than any

' of trenefer of tbe property by the oity of
•:London to the Government.

Hector Langevin had asked that it be
>allowed to stand.
Sir Hector Letngevin suggested Thurs-
day.
Mr. Cameron—No. Thursday is too
late, because I am going away on that day.
Sir Hector Langevin—Very sorry.
It was then decided that the bill should
'Me considered on Wednesday.
Mr. Tupper moved the third reading of
*he bill respecting fishing vessels of the
United States.
Mr. Davies said that lie had thought the
Minister of Marine and Fisheries would
lave taken the opportunity before the bill
was passed ,of making a statement with
reference to the position of the matte
between Newfoundland and Canada.
Mr. Tupper said that he would rather
•ablitain from introducing into the cowed.
>oration of this bill any matters en Mane
between Canada and Newfonnaland, since
the bill affected simply vessela of the
Visited States, and in no way disturbed the
veasela of Newfoundland. He thongh6 it
wail well that the bill ahould proceed on
the old lines. At present the position was
*his: The Government of Newfoundland
had by the provisions of the Bait Act pre.
hibited Canadian vemels from obtaining
bait in the porta or harbor % of that colony
on any terms. Lest year Canadian m-
oils Were permitted to go into Newfound-
land ports upon payment of a license fee,
and under this license they were permitted
to obtain only a limited reapply of bait.
Thie year eV011 that privilege baa
bean withdrawn. The Gevernment wad
,pretaking with every effore pessible a
solution et thie question, so that the right
of the yeesels of Canada might be re.
greeted.
Mr. BOW, Of Bethwell, gaid thet before
Mr. Tupper premed the bill to a third
reading the Muse Wail entitled to infer.
mation whioh up to tibia time it did not
peetie00. They knew that a tow years ago
the Government appointed a isommiaitioner,
who along with the BMWs ambemeador at
Washington negotiated a treaty which was
rejeoted by the Congress of the United
States. They had no information thett any
further action had been taken. The Gov-
ernment had not informed the House that
they proposed taking any further potion.
They had not yet told the House that they
were prepared to take the initiative in
opening up negotiations upon thia subject.
The House was entitled to all the inforima.
tion in the power ot the Government to
give upon this question before they were
asked *0 pass the bill. It seemed to
him (ter. Mille) an extraordinery
proceedieg that lair John Thompson should
have intervened between the Govern.
men of Newfoundland and the Government
of the 'United States with referenoe to nee
gotiations that were being entered upon in
the interest of the people of Newfoundland
exclusively. The Hones was entitled to all
the mere that had passed between Canada
and the Colonial Office and the Govern.

They enould not be milled upon to legislate
in the dark. A.ppleasen
Sir John Thorepaon said that if the cor.

red were laid on the titbit) to -day there was
no member of the Homo who knew better
than Mr. Mills that he could not raise a
diecussion on the reenter on the third read.
ing of this anl. The Government of the
Dominion would not feel that they had
gone beyond tbeir duty in interfering with
the negotiations of any colony whit% at.
Mated the Dominion of Canada. The in.
torests of the fiehing portion of the popu•
Wien would have been most deeply
affected by the negotiations to which
Per. Mille had referred, and he
knew to his (Mr. Mills') credit that there
would be no more eloquent and forcible
remonstrance in the House if they had
failea to pass that minute of Cormoil than
that which would have came from Mr.
Mille. So far from its being eztraordinetry
on the ground that it was uncalled for, the
minute of Council was not adopted until
Her Majesty's Minister at Washington and
the Secretary of State for the Colonies had
invited an expreeeion of opinion from the
Privy Council in reference to the negotia-
tions going on, and therefore in no sense
was remonstrance uncalled for. Mr. Mille
had not taken his point well, that the
House had not been informed that any
negotietions had taken place or were to be
entered upon. The House had been
informed in the speech from the throne
that negotiations had been entered upon,
and that they were to be continued. The
oorrespondentse in its entirety could not be
brought down, because the eseent of the
Governments interested was to be had, and
until that was.obteined it must be consid•
ered as confidential.
Ur. Mills (Bothwell) said thet he would
like to bring the ettention of the Govern-
ment to the feet that they bed not yet
iaforrned the House whether Mr. Colby
had tendered his resignation as Preeident
of the Privy Conned, and. whether any
other party had been appointed in his
place.
Sir John IsIsodonald replied that Mr.
Colby had, to the regret of his colleaguee,
tendered his resignation. It was aooepted
by His Excellency the Governor-General,
and his office had not yet been filled.
The following bills were introduced and
read a first time:
To morporate the Western Life Insur•
ance Co.—Mr. Macdonald (Winnipeg).
To amend the Act to incorporate the
Collingwood dr Bay of Qainte Railway Co.
—Mr. Kirkpatrick.
Sir Richard Oartwright asked if there
was any proapeot of the papers as to tbe
Washington negotiations promised in the
speech from the throne being brought
down.
Sir John Thompson replied that permis-
sion to publish the documents had been
applied for, and would no doubt be obtained
in a week.
Mr. Mills (Bothwell) meandered this
statement very disappoieting. What right
had the Government to promiee these
papers if they had not the power to supply
them?
The Homo went into Committee of Sup-
ply.
Mr. Somerville, while the item for print-
ing and stationery was under considerm
tion, asked if the Secretary ef State would
require any more Matte in the Printing
Bureau. A large part of the printing had
not been done in the bureau, bat by outside
parties, and if thie were to be done by
the Government would more officers be re.
quired ?
Mr. Chaplean asked whet printing had
been done outside ?
Mr. Somerville said that -.I publie knew,
men who got money for work knew, and
the Secretary of State shoald know. The
voters' lista and the report of the Geologi-
cell Survey had been printed outside.
To ineorporate the Steam Boiler and
Plate Glass Insurance Company of Canada
—Mr. Hyman.
To incorporate the McLeod, Irrigation
Company—Mr. Davis.
Mr. Amvot introduced a Bill to make
voting compulsory, whieb was read a first
time.
Sir John Macdonald, in anewer to a
question by Mr. Gibson as to whether it
was the intention of the 'Government to
build a turning basin on the enlarged Wel-
land canal at St. Catherine% said that the
matter had not yet been brought to the
attention of the Government.
Sir Hector Langevin, in answer to Mr.
Tarte, said that 11580,841 had been paid to
Larkin, Connolly & Co. on account of the
graving dock at Esquimelt, B. C., from
1884 to 1890.
Mr. Foster told Mr. Tarte that tbe
amount of money owed by the Quebec'
Harbor Commissioners to the Government
on account of intermit up to December 31
last was $185,925.
Mr. Chapleau, replying to a question put
by Mr. Lepine, said that the type -setting
machines purchased by the Government
formerly cost $3,500, but they could now be
pueehased for e3,000. They were capable
of composing 3,500 ems per hour, or 31,500
eine per day of nine hours, for which they
paid $2 a day. The cost of typemettingper
1,000 ems was 6 2.7 cent&
Mr. Jamieson moved "That in the
opinion of this House the time has arrived
when it is expedient to prohibit the manu-
facture, importation and sale of intoxioat-
ing liquors for beverage purposes."
Mr. Fraser said that in seconding the
motion he did it in the interest of the good
citizenship of °amide. He saw the diffl.
catty of a prohibitory law for the Domin.
ion, bemuse it might be honestly oppmed
by some men. In view lef the pest ravages
of the traffio he was convinced that it was
in best interest of Canada that there ;Mould
be no traffie in liquor. No doubt there
mild be honest differenced ae to whether
the country was ripe for prohibition, but it

parent of crime. Soripture told men
look elsewhere for the eouroe of mime than
to drunkennees. Intoxioation had come
now to be an eXentie whi3h nearly every
criminal made to escape punishment. He
denied that prohibition would be a reznedy
for drunkenuese.
To incorporate the Idaffnao, Leke Erie &
Brantford Railway & Coal Company ---
Mr. Tisdale.
To incorporate tbe Whirlpool Bridge
Company.—Mr. Graham.
To amend the Dominion Frauchiete Aot
of 1874 by providing that voters must be
British subjects,—Mr. Wood, of Brookville.
Mr. Coatewozth, resuining the debate on
Mr- Jamieson'a niotion declaring the coun-
try ripe for prohibition, said thet the prin.
climbs oC temperance legislation had already
been recognized by law. It was now to be
hoped that the House would see the wis-
dom of granting prohibitory legieletion. -
Mr. Flint took ezreption to Mr. O'Brien's
deductions from Soripture egeinst prohibi.
tion. He did not think Parilarnent was
the pleats to disarms the bearinge of Snip -
hire npon economics questions, bet there
could be no doubt that tbe great religioue
bodies of Canada were in favor of prohibi-
tion. Thera were plenty of indications
thee public opinion was overwhelmingly
spinet the liquor teaffio. He was oppooed
to compensation. The pablio would never
subnaie to having the honest masses taxed
to further enrich timee who had already
made enormous; fortunes out of the fiegred-
ing traffic.
Mr. McIntosh had never yet heard the
question solved as to how the revenue could
be recouped for the loss it would cense.
The time had come when :bat qaestion
mum be seriously considered.. He there-
fore moved an amendment, whiob recited
at great length thet whereas numerous
petitions bad been presented to Parliament
asking for prohibition; and whereas there
wag a general desire that the matter
should receive serious consideration; and
whereas prohibition must eerionsly affeet
the revenuee of the Dominion, that a special
conanaittee be appointed to inquire into the
matter and report to the House.
Mr. Room% in Istsconding the amend-
ment, believed that was the proper action
for the House to take, and that all who
favored prohibition should vote for it.
Mr. Meesteonald, of Huron, said that
over 500,000 Canadians had petitioned for
prohibition, and he hoped the House would
consider the question aside from party bias.
Mr. Taylor moved in amendment to the
amendment that this House renews tbe
ezpremion of opinion made in preoeding
Perliamente as to the expediency of pro.
hibiting the marinfaciture, importation and
sale of alcoholic liquors for beverage pur•
poses '• but deolaree that in a queetion of
moh farmeaohing importanoe, affecting
long esteblithed social end trade interests,
involving the loss of many millions of
neoessitry revenue and consequent imposi.
tion of new and heavy taxation, it is eseen-
tiel fdr the 'working and permanent
maintenance of such enactment that the
electorate of Canada should first pronounce
a definite opinion upon the subject at the
polls.
Mr. Mills (Bothwell)—Does tb hon.
gentleman propose a plebiscite?
Dlr. Taylor Bend the moton spoke for
limit, and that matter would be one of
detail.
Mr. Mills said he would not supportan
indefinite refereme to the people. If a vote
was proposed at once he would support it.
He did not think a plebiscite was an un -
B ritieh proceeding. As a general rule it
might be bad, but in the present instance
the verdict of the people should be ob-
tained. He did not think any greater mis-
fortune could befell tbe cause of tote'
ebstiuenoe time legislative prohibition. At
the same time, if a vast majority of the
people expressed an opinion in favor of
prohibition, he was prepared to aid in per-
fecting the meatier's. The proposed of Mr.
elackintosIt'a amendment, ;taking that the
question affecting the revenue of the coun-
try should be referred to a committee,
would enable the Government to shift the
responsibility to the ehouldere of private
membero. This was an unconstitutional
and improper proceeding. If the
Government had not the courage
and ability to deal with the sub-
ject, they !Moan] not continue to
bold edam. For a long time the Finance
Minieter advocated prohibition, and be had
never Baia there world be any obstacle in
the way of meeting the financial require-
ments of the country if prohibition were
adopted. He would like to know if that
amendment; was not drawn up by the Gov.
ernment. Was the blanderbuse loaded
and pieced in the hands of the member for
Ottawa
Mr. Meckintosh—No rnember of the
Government had anything to do with the
drawing up of the resolution.
Mr. Mills—Then no doubt the Govern-
ment will resent this imputation upon their
capacity.

Mr. Sproule moved the adjournment of
the debate, 'and the House demanded a

What Vandal Hands •gave Done to a
Eatnily Vault,
The family vault of the Boulton family
is situated on the edge of the Rosedale
ravine, morose from the eastern extremity
of St. James' Cemetery, says the Toronto
World. Whoever chose the site chose it
well, for a more beautiful spot could not be
imegieed. But there is horror in tbe
midst of all this, for the vault door is wide
open and the 'metered coffins and °tethered
bones of generations of Bonbons are ex-
posed to view. It is a sight to make the
blood ran cold. Some ghoul has torn the
lid from eaoh coffin and turned it upside
down and ;Mulls are lying here and there.
Some of the bones have been pitched out
on tbe sward. The place shows that it has
been neglected for years. There is a baby's
coffin in tbe northeast corner which has
been untouched, but all the other coffins
have been broken and deeecretted.
The only Boulton that has been safe
from the halide of the deeeorator is the
wife of John Hillyard Cameron (Elizabeth
Boultbn), who died April 20th, 1844, and
who is buried safely under the sod beside
the vault. Beside her is buried a six-
weeke•old child, whose advent into this
world was the primary cause of her death,
The Homely But Useful Girl.
The " useful" girl, writes Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, in The Ladies Home Journal, s not
noticeable in any way. Everybody makes
use of her, and everybody, likes her. She
has no enemies and no lovers. Women
like her very math, and men speak highly
of her when she is brought to their atten•
tion in some way; bat they never think
about her voluntarily. They appreciate
her highly when she helpe them out ot a
corner, and thank her cordially, and then
forget her untit they need her again. She
is not apt to marry, for men do not care
for metal girls before =veep. She oan

dean, assist in getting no entertainments
for other people to participate in, and she
is an excellent nurse, and reads aloud well,
end sings a little—enough to rook a child
asleep or help out a chorus. She is like the
green "everlasting," or old-fashioned
" hve•forever" plant—scentless, and not
beautiful, yet indispensable in a garden.
Americas' Ally Described,
Neve York Daily Commercial Bulletin :
Russia is the curse of modern civilization;
the negation of its spirit; the counteract.
ant of its intelleotual forces; the embargo
on its social advance; the antagonist of its
politica progress. She stands for ignor-
ance as against intelligence; for class
against mase; for autocracy against demo-
craoy ; for absolute despotism against con-
stitutional liberty; for race antagonisms
as against international amities; for war
against peace. Her highest conception of
national greatness is the organization of
armed brute form. The °Met end of her
government, her commerce, her wealth, her
vast numerical resource, is the oreetion of
military power. She exists to oppose, to
repress, to agrees, to invade, to destroy.
She stands out among the European na-
tions as the one country that effectively
confronts the elevating forces of modern
progress with brats resistance. That is
her funotion, her mission among the na.
tions.

Don't keep the feat that you are core
responding with some man a secret from
your mother.
Don't write foolish letters to anybody,
men or women. You never know who may
eee them.
Don't let Tom, Dick or Harry call yonby
your first name, or greet you with some
slang phrase.
Don't think that you can go untidy all
day, and then look very fine at night, for
fine feathers do not always make fine birde.
Don't let any man kiss you or put his
arm about you unless you are engaged ter
be married to him, and even then be a little
stingy with your favors.
Don't let any man believe that simply for
the asking be can get "that pretty Smith

pany him to the concert, or to entertain
him for an hour when be can't find anybody
else.

The London Times explains why the
people are jubilant over the birth of a
daughter to the Duchess of Fife: " Whale
the English especially like is that there is
now en heir who he.s English blood in its
veins and not German The baby is the
only pure English in the royal family, and
this baby will hold a remarkable position
which has not been held by any legitimate
grandchild of an Englieh sovereign for
hundreds of years. Her rank, unless
altered by the Quen, will be simply the
daughter of a Duke, and as snoh her title
will be lady and not prinoese."
