THE DOMINION HOUSE
DATE OF ASSEMBLING HAS BEEN
DEFINITELY FIXED.
On March 11 the "Faithful Commons'.
Will lileet at Ottawa—Promise of a Busy
Session.
Ottawa, Ont., Jan. 31.—The Cabinet
met on Thursday to 8x the date for the
opening of Parliament, Although no
official announcement 'is made, itwas
agreed that the legislators should be
called to meet for the despatch of 'busi
mess on Thursday, March llth An extra
of the Canada Gazette will be issued in
the early part of the coming week to
that effect, When, the legislators dispersed
last October they were given to under-
stand that .they would reassemble in the
middle of February. The Government is
therefore a month later in meeting Par
liarnent.4than it expected to be. Much of
the interval has been occupied in prepar-
ing for the work of the session, of which
the most important part will be the re-
vision of the Customs tariff. Besides this,
however, the Government proposes to
make changes in the legislation affecting
the public service. The Superannuation
Act is to be remodelled. The CiVil Ser-
vice law is to be amended. The Fran-
chise Act is to be repealed, and another
in accordance with Liberal ideas substi-
tuted. Machinery is to be provided for a
plebiscite on the prohibition question,
assistance is to be given for the Crow's
Nest Pass railway, probably a scheme for
the construction of the Paeiiio cable' will
be submitted to Parliament. The propo-
sals of the Administration regarding the
fast Atlanta serivce will be discussed.
Besides this there will be an effort made
to place an alien labor law on the statute
book, it not by the Government by pri-
vate members, The private legislation,
including many important railway bills,
promises to bo heavy. It is therefore cer-
tain that the politicians who come here
six weeks hence will have enough to keep
them busy till midsummer,
COLONIAL PREMIERS
Will Assemble In London to Celebrate the
Diamond Jubilee.
London, Jan. 31,—Mr. Joseph Cham-
berlain's idea of inviting, on behalf of
the Queen, all the Premiers of the self
governing Colonies to coin to England
and take part, as Imperial guests, in the
diamond jubilee celebration, is looked
upon as a very clever move. This is the
first proposal for making the celebration
a unique event, and meets at once with
popular approval, especially as detach-
ments of colonial troops will accompany
the Premiers, and supply material for a
good town show. All other plans have
been commonplace, and failed to appy
to the popular imagination. Royal visi-
tors have come and gone during the
reign, but never before have self-govern-
ing colonies been represented by their
Premiers and body guards of ;these
officials at the Queen's commemoration
in the capital of a world-wide empire.
Popular enthusiasm—though somewhat
damped by the threat of the possible
presence of Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany
at the feast—revives somewhat at the
notion of such compensating glories as.
the presence of a detachment of the local
military forces from each colony. There
can even be found envious newsmongers
who prophesy abrilliant finale, in which
a Dukedom will be conferred on the
member for West Birmingham, the Right
Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, Without tak-
ing too seriously such prophets of the
politoal weather so far ahead, it is cer-
tain that the notion of a pan-Eritanle
conference tickles and pleases the Brit-
ish imagination.
EVENTS IN HAMILTON.
Rumored Dissatisfaction of the Clothing
\?;r-orlcers,
Hamilton, Jan. 31.—There is talk of a
strike among the clothing workers of the
city, their complaint being that the big
clothing firms are sending their samples
for next year's business to be made up
in better shape than last year, and at
figures from 30 to 35 per cent. lower in
price. The Sanford concern holds the key
to the situation here, and much will' de-
pend on, the stand taken in that plaoe. A
strike would be a serious matter, as there
are from 3,000 to 4,000 clothing workers
in the city. A meeting of the workers
will be held on Tuesday night next, when
A. F. Jury, of Toronto, will deliver an
address:
THE DUNDAS FATALITY.
The enquiry into the cause of the fatal
accident to ''Miss Florence Bickford in
Dundas the other day has been further
adjourned till Tuesday. afternoon. It has
been found that the car steps where she
attempted to board the moving train
were covered with ice, and that there was
no brakesman on the train. 'There is con-
siderable feeling against the railway com-
pany.
A. most enjoyable banquet was held at
Newport's Friday night by the students
of the Hamilton Business College. Many
ex-stuclenns were present. Clever speeches
were made in response to the toasts, and
the students will long remember the
event.

Wants a Change or Venue.
Buffalo, Jan. 31.—There seems to be a
wavering of opinion amongst Mrs. Stern-
aman's friends as to whether she should
give up further proceedings in fighting
extradition. Chas. 3. Thomas, who was
legal agent for the Ontario Government,
rettuned from Toronto last night and, it
is said, has arranged that a change of
venue be had and the trial take place out
of. 1ttldimancl County, where, Mrs.
Sternaman claims, public opinion would
condoms; her no matter how strongly the
evidence would tend in her favor. If the
case is tried in Toronto or Hamilton she
will probably consent todrop the appeal

Poultry Show
The Poultry Show under the auspices
of the Huron Poultry and Pet Stock As-
sociation, was held in Seaforth, on Tues-
day, Wednesday and Thursday last
week. There was a very nice display.
of birds, Which for quality and breeding
were alike creditable to the show and
the owners. Nearly every known breed
was represented. The show, however, l
would have been very much larger but
for the great storm, which prevented
many birds from cooling forward, It
113061 also be remembered that the
entries were limited to the County
of Huron, and the display proves
that ibis county is as well to the front
in the matter of poultry as it is in
horses, cattle and other farm stock and
products. We would suggest, however
that the scope be widened another year
If the society do not deem it wise to
throw the show open to the world, they
should at least admit entries from the
two lreighboring counties of Perth and
Bruce,. and Middlesex might also be ad-”
mitted. This would provide a most
magniti.cent show. • Mr. Jarvis, Poultry
Manager at the Ontario Agricultural
College, was kept busy all day Wednes-
day fudging and scoring. Oa the
whole, the promoters of the show may
feel well satisfied with their efforts and
should feel encouraged to go in for
something on a more extensive scale
another year. These shows cannot help
but ,give the poultry breedinerindustry
a needed impetus. The attendauce of.
spectators, although very satisfactory,
was not nearly so large as would have
been the case had the weather been
more favorable. Very few of the coun-
try people were able to get out. The
society is to be congratulated on the
seccess of their first effort, even under
adverse circumstances, and have good
grounds to look for better and greater
things in the future.^
