The Minister :of Finance stated. io the comae of the :debate, that the proposed changes had been forced upon the Governtnent, who were compelled to accept the 'terms of the Grand Trunk Company, • or allow the contract of lest year toga ' by default. A more extraordinary ad- mission was probable- never beard th the House. That the Ministers have not giyen the amendments to the contract the. consideration they deserve, was made clear by the dense ignorauce displayed by them in regard to the Most import- ant clauses of the new bill. To date, the Commons has not been favored with a statement showing the addi- tional liabilities of the country under the latest ierrangement, and Mr. Field- ing cooly informed Parliainent that it is only now that he is engaged in the preparation of this important docu- ment. It also transpired that the Govern- ment is aware that the Gran Trunk is not a party to the emir:ice and- that they do not propose that the company .shall assume any responsibility in the iina tter. The Opposition tirged upon the Prate - ler the necessity of protecting Canadi- an seaports, in view of the admission that the Grand Trunk, which will have the clisposal'of freight at the seaboard, will he in a position to do wile t it con - :eiders in the best interests of its Amer- ican connections in routing freight. The Ministers of Finance and Justice 'tried to gloss over the important dec- darations they made last year in regard to the wisdom of forcing the Grand Trunk to acquire and hold the $25,000,- t000 of Grand Trunk Pacific common stock, which will become a charge on its patrons. Scarcely a word was offered in de- fence of the provision by which the -Government will be prevented from -foreclosing its mortgage, in case the -railway company does notpay the in. • terest on the bond issue. The Opposition offered a nuinber of :.amendments and the Government ask- -ed time to consider them, Several Liberals urged that the duty •on lumber be increased, but another :gronp kicked vigorously about the ear- :1ff being changed in this respect. • The sudden death of Mr. W. F. M� - Dreary, the Liberal member for Sel- .kirk, cast a deep gloom over the Corn - :mons. The Senate, too, sustained a sgreat loss by the death of Senator Reid of British Columbia.

His farm when he settled on it was an unbroken wil- derness and he experienced and over- came all the hardships and privations of pioneer life and lived to see what was once a dense forest converted into one of the finest and mostproductive agricultural districts in Canada and he had his full share in this great trans- formation. He was a man of energy and persistency and was not easily daunted by difficulties and his reward was a competency for his declining years. He was a good and useful citi- zen, a kind and obligingneighbor and in every walk of life tried to do his duty towards his fellow men. His aged partner in life died about fifteen years ago.
