Although every inch of available space
Within the chamber sees made use of,
large crow's had to be content simply
to stand In the corridors to watch tho
errant and departure of Iho guberna•
knot patty and the Lanais at honor.
the fact that a tendency to hasty and
tcckkes investment and spcculuton t
al•rued. and, it is to be toped, will be
kept in check by the good sense of our
people.
Teta amendments of last session to
the Public School Act have given gen-
era; eali:fac•tion. The experience ut the
past year nail reference to the working
of rho Act has shown certain an►end-
n.ents to be desirable; a measure em-
bedying Them will be laid before you.
The Education Department Ls now deal-
ing with the question of the price of text
bunks and expects, during the present
seesiun, to make a satisfactory arrange-
ment with reference to this very import-
ant mutter.
My Ministers have, for some time past,
been considering the question of prison
labor, with a view to avoiding all pos-
sibility of Its being put into competilien
with free lager. 11 Is a subject of the
utmost Importance, and cannot be dealt
with hastily. Some facts with relation
to it will be laid before you.
Bails will be laid before you relating
to colonization roads; providing for the
taxation of mining properties, consolid-
ating and amending the Companies'
Acts; amer.ding the Act creating the
Railway and Municipal Board; the Mines
Act; lire Public School Acts; the Act re-
specting the Temiskarning and Northern
Ontario Railway; and Volunteer Land
Grant Acts.
It affords me great pleasure to inform
you that the revenues of the province
are largely in excess of the estimates,
and more than sufficient to meet the
provincial expenditure during the year.
The Public Accounts will be laid be-
fore you for your consideration at the
earliest moment, and the estimates for
the coming year will also be submitted
for your approval at an early date.

Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
Legislative Assembly: -
It affords me great pleasure to again
meet you as representatives of the peo-
ple in Parliament assembled.
Once more we realize that our thanks
Orb due to Almighty God for a bounti-
ful harvest. The prosperity which has
teen enjoyed by our fanners for a num-
ber of years has been continued for an-
other year, while the steadily Increasing
enterprise and commercial activity
shown by our people ufford good ground
bosh fur satisfaction and thankfulness
end are indications of future prosperity.
The sittings of the Interprovincial
Conference ut Ottawa in October last
wero attended by the Primo \linLsler
and Iwo of his colleagues. The deliber-
ations of the conference will, 1 have rea-
son to believe, result in an amendment
to the British North America Act by
which the amount of the annual pay-
Inent by the Dominion Government to
the province will be increased by about
$e00,000. A report of the proceedings
of the conference will be laid before
you.
On the Invitation of the Government
of Canada, certain of my Ministers at-
tended at Ottawa with reference to the
proposal extension of the boundaries . f
Manitoba. Tho claims of the Province
of Ontario to its hinterland were pressed
upon t' e Dominion Government, my
Ministers urging that the boundaries r f
Manitoba be extended northward to
Hudson tiny by producing the the east-
ern boundary of that province north-
ward until it strikes the Churchill River.
and then by following the middle of
the channel of the said river until the
letter debouches into Iludson Ray, and
that for geographical and other reasons
the remainder of the Territory of Kee-
, watin lying east of the suggested cast-
' ern boundary of Manitoba contiguous
to Ontario and hounded on the north
and eat by Iludson Bay and James
Bay be allotted to the Province of On-
taato. A d:cision is expected shortly.

Founder of Whiteley's. London, Shot by
Unknown Alan.
A du patch from London, England,
say's : William Whiteley, founder of the
first bag department store in London,
was shot and killed on Thursday by a
young man, who alterwwanls attempted
to commit suicide. Mr. \Whiteley was
about to leave his store when his assail-
ant rushed up to him and fired several
shots. The merchant fell dead where ho
stood. The arsassin then emptied the
revolver into his own body, inflicting
what are believed to bo aortal wounds.
The store was crowded with shoppers,
and a semi -panic followed. A force of
police was quickly on the scene, the
public wero ejected from the building
and the doors were closed. No reason
for the act has been learned.

away :-
"If you do not go i shall call the
police.
Mr. \Vhilcley's murderer cannot re-
cover. Ile gave the name of Cecil \Vhtto-
ley, and said ho was a son of the mur-
dered nine. Rolntives of the late Mr.

Persons who overheard \t'. Whiteley
and his visitor conversing declare that
there was no quarrel.
