During all his work he distinguished him. self by his unswerving loyalty to Britith oonneetion. " I wee born a Britiele sab• je0i," he exolaimed, "aril a Britieh subject 1 will die." In all hie publius life his cher. acteristios were those whiela we are taught, and 1 hope vehiale we will never forget, to admire and imitate. That is the stater,. mon we have lost; but we have also lost a friend, who ie enshrined in the heerte of tho whole people. I really menet truet myself to say more on this subject, but I wish to convey to the Senate that the Gov- eriament of whioh I have she honor to be s. member, and which ia now only performing ha duties until its suoceseor is eppointed, has determined to give to the late lamented etateamen a State funeral. Means will be provided on Thuredey morning for hon. gentlemen to attend the funeral at Kings- ton and return the same day to Ottawa The cortege will leave the previous day for Kingston, where the body will lie iu state until the time of the funeral. Senator Soott-The ead announcement that was sent over the wires on the night of Friday week, telling the people of thie Dominion that Sir John Macdonald had been stricken down and that his period of life on earth Waft limited to et most a few days, caused great sorrow throughout the entire Dominion. Men of all classes, of all politiaal shades of thought, remem- bered only that a raan wee passing away who had given his life largely to the growth and development of this yoans. nation. To enumerate the many eats of Sir John Mem donald, of which hie country received the benefit, would be to enumerate and resount the history of Canada for the last forty 0311 peeve. My hon. friend has reterred to the fact that Sir John elacdoneld, although poesessed of abundant opportunities to enrich himeelf, rentutined a poor man. It' must be epoken to hie honor and to his credit thee, while he was serving his country, he refereed to avail himself of the many ohanaes that were offered to him to accumulate wealth. He lived in an age when, I will not say the aspiration of every man is to grow rich, but it largely influ. emcee the condaot of life in most of us, and it is very muoh to the credit of the deceased stateeman that, living during a period when men were intent on creating wealth, he still remained poor. However much we may differ from him politioally, we are all willing at the presets: moment to accord to him the distinguished attri- butes of ahereoter which he possessed to a marked degree. Senator Tasae-Although it is ortatomary on earth an occasion to limit the epeeohes so the leaders ot both sides of the House, I ask the liberty, at the reit:neat of a certain number of French members of this House, to arty a few words in the language of the ram of which the late lamented statesman was tee friend. I eannot help 'dominating myself publicly with the expreseion of grief at the lose which the nation has jest sue. tained, and to support the noble words of regret which have fallen from the eloquent lips of the honthe leader of this House. It is the father of the country who has just died. He was one of the greetest stases. men the world has even known. He would heve achieved pre-eminent greatneas in any cannily, or any oontinett, for he was born for great things. Her Majesty the Qaeen lied learned to look upon tune as one of the props of her throne, and she made him one ot her Privy Councillors. She regarded Sim as one whose influent.) was among the most powerful of those that go to maintain the integrity of the empire. We all know 'with what anxious eolioitude ebe cabled for the West tidings during the last days when the old chief lay dying. Senator Abbott -I had proposed to ask the House to adjourn out of respeat to Sir John's memory, and I shall alEo ask for an extended adjonrnment. Of course the House will understand why auch an ad- journment is necessary. I underetancl that the other House will adjourn until Tuesday week, and it has been Enggested here that sur adjournment should be lentil Wednes- day week, as being more convenient to the !members. I therefore move that when the Bouee adjourns to -day it shall stand adjourned until Wednesday week at half. poet eight in the evening. Senator Scott -Before the question is pat I would like to ask my hon. friend if he is in a position to say who has been sent for to form a Government. Senator Abbott -No one as yet. I think it is understood shat no one will be sent for until after the tonere!. I presume I may convey to my mile settee the wilting - of the Senate that the Chamber ehall be used for the porpotee of the funeral oeremony. The motion was agreed to and the Senate adjourned at 3,45 p. m. House of common& Sir Hector Langevin-Mr. Speaker, as the oldest Privy Councillor 16 falls to my lot to announce to the House that our dear old chief, the Firet Minister of Canada, is no more. After a painful illness of two weeks death put an end to hie earthly career on Saturday las.

Her Majesty, oar geaoious Qneee. never had a more de. voted and loyal subject then the Grand Old Man whose loos we ali deplore and regret from the bottom of our hearts.

I remember how devoted he was, not ooly to zee old Provinoe of Canada, but how chivalrons he showed himself to the Province of Quebec and especially to my Frenola•Canadian coun- trymen. He had only a word to say, and instead of being at the head ofo small band of seventeen Upper Canada members he woald have had all the representatives of his Province behind him, bat, as he told me severel times, he prefeered to be jam to his French coca. patriots and alliee, and the result was that when Confederation cisme the Province of Q einem had confidenee in him, and on his deathbed one great (thief could soe that his jest policy has secured pearee and happi- ness to all.

Mr. Laurier -Mr. Speaker I tally appr oiate the motion whieh the him. genilemeitt t hes jug propoaed to the House, and we a conenr that his silence under the Aron stemma is far more eloquent than an human lenguage oen be.

At th period of life to whioh Sir John A. Ma donald had arrived death, whenever coma, oennot ooine auexpooted. When few days ego, in the raidat of an angry di ouesion title Parliament, the new spread in thia Home that of a audden hi condition had become alarming, the surgin wave of angry discussion was at ono hashed, and everyone, friend and foe reelized that this time tor a certainty th angel of death bad appertred and ha °reseed the threshold of his home. Thu we were not taken by surprise, an although we were prepared for the ea event, yet it ie almost impossible to con vitiate the unwilling mind that it is tru that Sir John Maadonald is no more; the the °hair which we now see vacent ehal remain forever vacant; that the face e familiar in this Pediment for the Ise forty years shall be seen no more, and the the voice BO well known shall be heard n more, whether in solemn debate or i pleasant or mirthful tones. In Not th place of Sir John A. Macdonald in )hi country wets so large and nbeorbing that 1, was almost impossible to conceive that th politica of this country -the fate of thi country -will continne without him. Hi loss overwhelms ns. Sir John A. Mao donald now belongs to the ago, and it co be said with oertainty that the (wee whioh has just been otcreed is one of th most remarkable oareers of this century. think it can be aeserted that fo the supreme art of governing men Sir John Maodonald was gifted as few men in any lend or in any age were gifted -gifted with the moot high of all quelitie -qualities which would have ehone in any theatre, and whiah would have shone all She more conspioaonely the larger the theatre. The fact that he could congregate together elemerats the most heterogeneous and blend them into one compact party and to the end of his life kept them steadily under hie hand, is perhaps altogether un- precedented. The fact that daring all these years he maintained unimpaired, not only the confidence but the devotion, the ' ardent devotion arid affection of his party, is evidence that, beside these higher quali- ties of statesmanship to which we were the daily witnesses, he was also endowed with this inner, subtle,undefinable oharacteristio of QOM which wine and keep the hearts of men. As to his statesmanship, it ie written in the history of Canada. Al- though my political views compel me to say that, in my judgment, hie ac- tions were not always the best that could have been taken in the intereet of Canada, although my conscience compels me to say that of late he has imputed to his opponents motives whioh I mast say in my heart he has miecon calved, yet I am only too glad here to sink these differeeces, and to remember only the great servioes he has performed for his conntry -to remember that ,his actions displayed unbounded fertility of resource, o high level of intellectual coneeption, and, above all, a for reaching vieion beyond the event of the day, and, still higher, per- meating the whole, a broad patriotism, a devotion to Canada's welfare, Canada's advancement, and Canada's glory. The life of a etatesman is alwaye an arduous one, and very often it is an ungrateful one; more ofteri than oeherwise his actions do not mature until he is in hie grave. Not so, however, in the nese of Sir John Mac- donald; his has been a singularly toren- nete one. His revereee were few and ot short daretion. He welt fond of power, and in my judgment, if I may say so, that was the turning point of his history. He was fond of power, and he never made any secret of it. Many times we have heard him avow it on the floor of Ibis Parlimment, and his ambition in this respect was gratified as perhaps no other man's ambition ever was. In my judgment even the oereer of William Pit teen hardly compere with that of Sir John Mace donald in thie respect, for although Wil- liam Pitt, moving in a higher ephere, had to deal with problems greater than ours, yet I doubt if in the management of a party William Pitt had to contend vtith diffi- culties equal to those that Sin John Mao. donald had to contend with. In hie death, too, he seems to have been singularly happy. Twenty years ago I was told by one who at that time was a close personal and political friend of Sir John Macdonald that in the intimacy of hie domestic circle he was fond of repeating that his end would be as the end of Lord Chetham - that he would be carried away from the floor of Parliament to die. How true his vision into the future was we now know, for we saw him at the last, with enfeebled health and detaining strength, struggling on the floor of Parliament until, the hand of fate upon him. he was carried to his home to die. And thus to die with his armor on was probably his ambition. Death always carries with it an incredible senee of pain, but the one thing sad in death is that which is involved in the word separating-seperation from all we love in life. This is what makes death BO poignant when it eirikes a man of into!. loot in middle age. But when death is the natural terminetion of a full life, in whioh he who has disappeared has given the full remain of his capareity, has performed everything required from him and more, the sadness of death is not for him who goes, but for those who love him and re- main. Babble sense I am sure the Canadian people will extend unbounded sympathy to the friends of Sir John elacidonald, to his sorrowing children, and, above all, to the brave and noble woman, his companion in life and hie chief helpmate. It may indeed hempen, sir, when the °anodise people eae the ranks thus gradually reduced and thinned of those upon 19130M they have Scan in the habit of relyingfor guidance, that a feeling of apprehension will oreep into the heart lest, perfume, the inetiku. gone of Canada may be imperilled. Before the grave of him who above all was the Father of Confederation let not grief be barren grief, but let grief be coupled with, the resolution -elm determinaidon-that the work in which Liberals and Conserve - lives -in whioh Brown and Macdonald - united shall not perish, but that though united °swede mem be deprived of the riervices of her greaten* man, yet still Caned& shall and will live 1 I agree to the Motion, Mr. Dovin-I think, eh,ii would be un- beoomiog, if I may venture 10 say so, that I ehould remain silent on tbile ocoasioll, ond that no expreeeion should be given of the way the Northwest teal a at *hie saprerae hour.

At th.e same time it Wee a little timid, vonld not go to a stranger, and would nip at any one that took hold of it, except the chil- dren. Of them it had no fear. Five of these paps were dug out of a hole about 8 feet deep the last of May, 1890. They were then very emelt, %boat three or four inches long, and could barely waddle or crawl. At this time they were too young to drink. They had no long hair on the tail, had short ears and blunt, enub noses. They were covered with a meat of short mouse bine hair. For several deys they were 1 ed by Mr. Powell's son Charley, who woald milk the cows into their months. Afterward they were put with abitch that had pups, and she perneitted them to suckle.

Her black wasy hair reached to below her waist and wee the envy of the girls around. The depraved husband, with a pair of &mare, °lipped them from her head with a cool- ness that showed he would get all possible for them when he came to dispose of them. When they had been cut he held them at arm's length, their ends almost touching floor, and with fiendiell glee exclaimed that they were good for several dollars. When the young wife gazed in the mirror at her shorn head, covered with great slashes, she uttered a pierotng shriek and fell in a dead faint on the floor. Neighbera .who ran to the house and ministered to the woman Geared the brutal husband for his fiendinh act, and for a time feeling rem high against him.
