The House was well Ned anil the galleries crowded in anti- eipatien of a hot debate over Cabinet ebauges and partly Wee by the texturally incideut. Neither subject was of the eennetioual exeested. The Oppeettion Merced their reinarles regarding, the new Adenine ietrat inn for some euture oeca-lon, Mr. Michael Connolly was summoned to ap- p lefere the bar of the House at 4 tfeleele toeeplain why he refused to proattee for the inspection of the Committee on Privileges and Eleeticus the books of hie Oran relating to the centract under inveetigation in eonsequence of Mr. Tarte's charges. Ile appeared accompanied by Ur. Alexander Fer- gueon, Q. C., his eatiusel. Mr. Fer- guson read. a statement from Mr. Connolly in ee Melt he reiterated the reaeous already given for refusing to produce hit books They cou- Vaned accounts of unsettled ehtims and of the firtns iudebteettess to others, the dealings of the firm with other contractors and otberpri- vate matters, the publication of which would injuriouely affect the firm. Moreover thefirtn were not the amused ones. Ile snbmitted that he had cOmplied with the terms of the subprena as far as any court of justice weueldemaud that he should not be required to give up the custody of the books and that be should be diecbarged from custedy. Mr. Ferguson added that, notwithstraiding the reasons given for refusing to produce the hooks, Mr. Connolly was prepared to give them up if ordered by the House to do so, Sir John Thompson moved that Mr. Connolly withdraw from the House, as he had some remarksto make. Mike withdrew but imme- diately went up to the Speaker's Gallery, whencelie heard his positon discussed by the Afinister of Justice. Sir John gavo a recital to the House of the events leading up to Con- nolly's refusal. Ile said that if Connolly kept the books in his own band and refused toallowany one of the committee to see theui be was complete master . of tho situation. The witnees had not complied with the rules of a court of justice at all. The books were sealed books to the committee. Sir John, therefore, moved that Mr. Con- nolly be ordered to produce the books and deliver them over to tha custody of the Clerk of the House. He added that he had intended to move that M..r. Connolly be placed in the custody of the sergeant -at -arms Instil the books were produced, but in view of the statement that the books would be pro- duced if the House so ordered he struck that clause out of the resolution. The resolution was adopted without discussion and the inci- dent ended. In reply to Sir Richard Cart- wright; Sir John Thompson said that assent had been given to the production of more of the papers connected with the trade nego- tiations at Washington. He vvould make a fuller statement on the point to -morrow, in- dicating what the papers were and when they would be produced. The House then went into Committee of Supply. The House passed the items $148,588 for Kingston peni- tentiary and $53,803 for the Manitoba peni- tentiary. Before adjourning Mr. Foster said that if no extraordinary event occurred the Budget speech would be deliveredon Tuesday next., OTTAWA, June 17.—Mr, Abbott made the official announcement to the Senate to -night of the circumstances which led to the Gov- ernor-General summoning him to form a Cabinet. The statement was almost literally the same as that which Sir Hector Laiagevin read to the Commons yesterday. In the Commons the ,Speaker took the It ' chair at 3 o'clock. er. Laurier said he wished to draw the attention of the leader of the Government to the fact that no announce- ment of the new Government's policy was yet made. After a brief consultation with Sir John Thompson Sir Hector clearly asstuned the leadership by stating he would make some' announcement on the point to-niorrosv. Mr. Cockburn asked: (1) Have any contracts been awarded in commotion with the erec- tion of tlae drill shed in the city of Toronto t If so, for what parts of the work and who are the Contractors, (2) If any contracits have been, awarded when lithe work to pro- ceed? (8) Piave tenders been asked for the other parts of the work yet? If ' not, when will the Government advertise for tenders? Sir Hector Laugevin said the contract for ex- cavation has been awarded to Messrs. Davis & Sons arid would be completed Aug. 1. No tendershave been asked for the other parts of the work yet but the Government would advertise for tenders within eight or th n days. . Mr. Macdonald (Huron) asked wheth- er the attention of the Government had been drawn to an order issued by the United States Departmentof Agriculture, dated May 10, 1801, quarantine; for 15 days lambs and swine imported from Canada, the reason assigned being the absepee of quarantine by the Government of Canada against the importation of sheep and swine from Great Britain. Mr. Haggart said the Government passed an order in -council on' June 10 Po: f obis. I. .1 • can be carried on. A intiv weeks ago one hundred lambs which had beet fad on the farm were shipped to England and landed at Birkenhead. 02 this shipment the Liverpool correspondent of The Manchester Meat Trade Journal says that a finer selection has seldom been seen, while Aid. Frankland de- clares that the condition of the lainbs and the price at which they sold, viz : 17 acute per pound, will certainly give an impetus to the lamb trade with Great Britain. Should it be found that lambs can be profitably exported to England, our farmers will be in a position to snap their fingere at Uncle Sam and his ab surd regulation, recently imposed, of re - !riving that Canadian lambs imported into the United States shall remain in quarantine at the border fifteen days before bottle forwarded to their destinn- time Lambs which will dress 75 pounds each when one year old (and this can easily be done) will find a ready market in England. As to the breeds use the Shropshire and Hampshire' and next to these the Oxforddown andthe South- down. The Canadian hen hes survived the attacks made upon her life and use- fulness and the prospect is that the Canadian lamb will share equally well. Our neighbors will probably learn by and by that we are not absolutely de- pendent upon them for life and being and that while we would be pleased to trade with them on honorable terms we will neither beg nor truckle, t t t er, disconnected front each other and cherishing rather the memory of early trials than the hope of any assured fortune; to -day this string has widened out into a splentid zone of prosperous provinces, which are steadily increasing in wealth, in population, in power of intercommunication, and in the develop- ment of undreamed-of mineral and agri- cultural vealth. Twenty-five years ago Canada was largely depeadent upon the • United States and England for her manufactured goods; today her factories are found in all her cities and towns,and from being a mere consumer of the goods which other countries produce, she is every year taking a more prominent part in helping to supply the world's needs. The wisdom of the policy under -which this development has taken place is vin- dicated by the results. Whatever may be said concerning the abstract principles of protection and free trade, or however philosophers may view them, it is evi- dent that a young country which has great natural wealth to safe -guard and exploit for her own people must adopt a protective tariff if she is even to become more then a hewer of wood and drawer of water for other natione, Those who point to Ettgland as an instance of what free trade can accomplish overlook the fact thee free trade England is only of yesterday and that many of her indus- tries were born and nursed into strength under very different conditions from tho' e which prevail to -day. It is certain that were England placed in the same circumstances as Canada she would do precisely the same as Capada has done. In view of the great development that has taken place and of the vast natural resources of the country, it is not with- out reason that Canadians should cherish the belief that along these grand parallels of latitude can 'he built up a nation wotthy to find place in the •worldeviorthy i; . eesinng against peep and swidi from Britaba a quarantine similar to that established by the 'United States and had communicated the order to Dee United Statea giorerument.

Later on Sir John Thompson requested that the proposed adjourned debate on the prohibition question might be further postponed for a week, when the Government would announce a policy on the.; question.

Foster delivered his bud- get speech in the House of Commons on Tuesday, which was thorough in its con- tents and gratifying to the country. A clean sweep has been m ide of the duty on raw Sieger, thus striking out $,3000,- 000 of revenue at one swoop. This had become expedient in consequence of the tariff changes in the -United States in reference to sugar. The duty on raw sugar was abolished by the McKinley Bill in April last, since which time the price of granulated has ranged at Boston and New York about two cents a pound below that of Montreal. A considerable portion of the revenue derived by. the Government on raw sugar can • be dis- pensed with by the course of economy in the public service that has been resole ed upon. That which is requieed to be made up has been apportioned chiefly upon xnalt, spirits and tobacco. The new duty of one cent per lb, on malt is expected to yield 8500,000; the excise on spirits of 20c cents per gallon, will return $600,000 ; and 50 per lb. extra on tobacco $400,000, making, $1,500,000 of the revenue on sugar winch has been. sacrificed. The Prohibition party will regard the additional tax on beer and spirits as a concession to • their cause which will not be without iufidence in restraint of drinking, though for a time trade calculations may go somewhat awry. Tea and coffee are to remain free of duty. It is the policy of the Adminis- tration to maintain the breakfast table exempt from the imports whioh had been put on by the Liberals, but which was stricken off in 1882. Yet there is harclly any article of common use which, by reason of the great reductioe in price of late years, could stand a tax better than tea. One source of complete general satiefaction will be found in the deter- minetion of the Government to enfo. c a rigid economy in the conduct of affairs, by which it may be contrived to Maine tab at,even balence sheet, while avoid in the necessity of borrowing to mee6 rising contingenoies, and giving such a a to stand neer its great neighbor to the reduction in the price of sugar as will meet with the approval of all.
