Ottawa, April 6.—My Fielding pre-

ties welded by the preferential tariff of
last year. He reviewed the year, after
which he indicated that in general tariff
changes the budget was absolutely bar.
ren. The work of collecting the ten cents
a pound duty on raw tobacco is trans-
ferred from the customs to the excise
department, the duty in all cases to be
levied on standard weight. The duty on
sugar, as will be seen, is changed from a
specific rate to an ad valorem, the valve
of the sugar imported to be determined
by polarisoopo test. 'While aunounoing
that there would be no tariff ohanges
this year, the Minister of Finance very
plainly intimated that manufacturers
must not rest on their oars in the belief
that the tariff would remain unchanged
for ten or even for five years, but that
they must do everything possible to yon-
der themselves independent of protection.
The Government of Canada was, he in -
Minuted, a tariff reform Government, Of
tho condition of business throughout the
Dominion and of the publto revenues the
Minister spoke with the utmost confid-
ence. He also announced that the beueflt
of the preferential duties would bo con-
fined to Britain and her colonies, in the
latter case theta which reciprocated, ex-
empt the West Indies, which was granted
the boon without favor.
Mr. Foster was absent through sick-
ness, and by consent the debate was ad-
journed till Tuesday.

The expectation of the Department. is
that the range will be ready for use by

THE (bait. AIR LIMB

Opened in June.
Montreal, April 12. --The new Cana-
dian Pacifist air line between here and'
Ottawa, better known as the Montreal Js
Ottawa Railway, will be opened for the
through passenger traffic in June. It is
now praotically completed to the outskirts
of the capital. Mr. T. G. Shaughnessy,
vice-president of tbe C.P.R., stated yes-
terday that all that remains to be done
is to arrange for terminals. The C.P.R.
does not contemplate running the trans-
continental trains over it, at least not in
the near future, but the road will be
available at all times to relieve the con-
gestion on the main line. This new link
between Montreal and Ottawa, as Mr.
Shaughnessy pointed out, is shorter by
four or live miles than any existing road.
The gradients and construction were de-
signed with the object of making it a

Seen and Chased by Indians and Hinters,
but Never Caught.
During tbo summer of 1875 hands of
Indians returning from a bunt far out
on the plains brought in atories of hav-
ing seen at different times and in differ-
ent places, and always in the center of
it large herd, a white buffalo. They had
used their heat horses in the effort to
overtake it to eio purpose, never being
able to get anywhere near the animal.
at first we did not pay much attention
to these stories, but sail it kept crop-
ping up fiom different camps, and at
last, in the fall of 1876, I myself bad a.
shaves to verity the truth of the report.
[ had been sent on duty nortis along the
Red Deer river and was camped near a
large band of Blackfeet, who were hunt-
ing south of that river. The buffaloes had,
moved north in vast numbers, and the
prairie was black with them.
I had gone out one morning with s
party of Blackfeet to we one of their
bunts, and also' to try and kill for my-
self. My horse was a good one and much
faster than any belonging to the Indian
hunters. I had got detached from the
party', becoming tired of the slaughter.
and snot have been at least 20 miles
from camp, when I made for a small
clump of timber not fax oft, intending
to build a fire and roast a portion of
sone buffalo meat I had an the saddle
with me. As I approached tke wood a
band of about 100 animals burst out of
the brush and made os to the south,
and, yes, most certainly, in the middle
ef them was a white buffalo Although
they were *quarter of s ails away,
there could be no mistake about it. He
wax there as large am life and quite
white and running like a deer. There
was ne time to: much more than take in
the scene, but I gathered up the reins
and was after him, determined to bag
that buffalo or kill my horse.
Ob, what • race it was, mil. atter
nilel And, although all the band, with
the exception of about a dozen, bad
split off and gone in different direc-
tions, the White animal, with his body-
guard of about a dozen kept at about
the same distance ahead. I could catch
a glimpse. of him now and then; and
there was no doubt be was snow white.
Get within shot I could not for many
miles. At last they began to tire, and,
although my horse tired also. I had
good hopes of coaling up and getting a
shot. Alas, for such a chance! Of a
sudden any horse lambed forward on
his nose, sending me over his bead on to
the prairie and turning a somersault
himself, missing me,by only a few feet.
He bad put his foot into a badger hole
and brought my hopes of a white robe
to a sudden end.—Forest and Stream.
