PARLIAMENT OF CANADA LEADING MARKETS
Speech of His Excellency the Governor
General at the Opening.
A despatch from Ultima bays: (
liners cannot recall a more I:rii':.
scene than That which the
('haneters presented on Thw•sdity
t, i 11(Mn •tin filo occasion of the opal. r
f 'se fourth session of the tenth 1'-.r-
1115, , et of Canada. Outside the Partia•
u.ent Buildings the crowd was riot as
targe us usual, lids being due to the
fact that horn early morning snow had
steadily fatten. So large was the at-
tendance of ladies, in the Senate
(:flambe'', especially from outside points,
ttiat scats usually set apart for the
ee11aloss were this year gallantly sur-
rendered to the fair. Even in the cen-
tre of the doer, the places reserved for
the diplomatic representatives. clergy,
Deputy Ministers and other impxorlant
personages, were occupied by the
ladies. Over thirty Senators had to
eland below the bar in the reservation
eel apart for this day for Commoners.
The booming of the guns on Nepean
Point was the signal for the arrival
o: his Excellency, who entered the
ehamher preceded by a brilliant staff.
Aft, r his FExceliency had taken his
Feist on the wool sack, Block Rod
was despatched to summon the mein-
lers of the Commons.
SI'EECII FROM THE THRONE.
The speech from the throne was as
follows:
Hon. Gentle►nen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the Home of Commons:
In again meeting you al a period of
the year most colwcnient for the de-
spatch of business. it gives me great
pleasure to be able to congratulate
yoll on the remarkable expansion of
the trade of Canada with other coun-
tries, the total trade of the past year
far exceeding that of any of Its pre-
decessors. A gratifying result of thi
expansion was That the revenue of the
'asl fiscal period of nine months was
more than sufficient to meet expenses
• n consolidated fund, National Trans-
eeilinentel Railway, capital and special
outlays, all expenses of the Dominion
of every kind, and leave n balance of
over three million dollars to be applied
in reduelion of the public debt.
Tho stream of immigrants coming
to Canada continues to increase In
volume, the year drawing to a close
showing a larger number than any
t'reeeding year, and it is gratifying to
'flserve the many corning froni the
itr•itish Isles.
'Ilse Dominion has been blessed by
a large series of prosperous years, and
though at the present moment Its bust -
re is being rc.trieled by the financial
igency which prevails throughout
, h
,' world, 1 feel assured that this un-
isvorable condition will be temporary.
and That the illimitable resources of
Canada and the world-wide recognition
of there give us ample guarantee of
ele.ntinucd material progress.
THE COLONIAL CONFEIIENCE.
1 cou.t1 of the N • h •I 'frauscon-
1'inccl:.. N• v. t,heless. great
p'' has 1.4011 mucic, both on the
east, 111 'lois' ,n and on the prairie sec-
tion of the western division. A sec -
lion of the latter of about 250 miles has
Leen available for handling the Irafiic
the present season. Contracts for
the politer' of the prairie section west
cf Edmonton are about to be let, and
immediate steps be taken for the
commencement of work at both the
eastern and western ends of the moun-
tain division. Thu-. in a very short
time, the whole work from Moncton to
the Pacific Ocean will be under vigor-
ous construction.
ORIENTAL IMMIGRATION.
The unexpected influx of immigra-
tion of Oriental countries into British
Columbia aroused n strong feeling of
opposition. A member of my Govern-
ment has been deputed to proceed to
Japan to confer with the Japanese Gov-
ernment on this subject.
The suc4jen and unexpected collapse
of the great cantilever bridge in course
of construction across the Si. Law-
rence, in the vicinity of Quebec, may
be regarded as a national cuttingly,
and the event has evoked much sorrow
for the lives which were lost on that
occasion.
A commission has been appointed
to enquire into the causes which led
to the disaster. When received, the
report of the commission will be laid
before von. It will be necessary to
devise means for the completion of the
bridge within a reasonable time.
1t is most gratifying to find that.
notwithstanding the large reductions
of postal rates which have been made,
the revenue of the Post-ofice Depart-
ment has continued to increase rapidly.
Tho large receipts of this branch of
s the Government business will enable
the department to make still more lib-
eral provision for the extension of
Postal facilities throughout the Domin-
ion.
WIDE GOVERN\TENT CONTiROL.
The conference held in l.onden in

tween the Government of the Untied
