Sir John Thompaon, replying te Mr.
Fraaer as to the relative receipts and ex-
penditure in connection with the Montreal
anda„Toronto offices of the Interoolonial
Railway, said diet elute 1867 the total re-
eeiptsi in the Montreal office were $113,613 ;
expenees, 821,989; balance, $91,634. In
Toronto edifices the expenditure during that
peried had been $15,692 ; the reempts,
$8,290 ; leaving a deficit of $7,391,
Sir John Thompson moved that On and
after Wednesday, for the remainder of the
session, the House commence each sitting
at 11 o'clook.
Mr. Leurier did not suppose there
would be a continuous sitting from 11 till
6 &clock.
Sir John Thompson said it was under.
stood that Ur. Speaker would leave the
chair at 1 o'clock and resume at 3 o'clook.
Mr. Mills resumed the debate on his
amendment in favor of a 'scheme of redis-
tribution in Ontario which will maintain
intact the county boundaries. Anyone who
had had experience of a constituency. made
,up of parts of several coonties, would know
how hopeless; was the task of uniting such
'parts of counties by merely binding them up
•en the same conetitueneies. The proposal
he (Mr. Mills) had made was clear, easily
worked out, and fair to all parties, and
would better carry out the principle pro-
posed by the hon. gentleman than any other
ethat had yet been put forward. The Min-
ister of juetioe had contended that the
.county bounds in Ontario had not been FM
• well maintained as in the other Provinces.
A division was then taken on Mr. Mills'
.amendment, resulting as follows : Yeas 27,
,nays 51.
The amendment was declared lost.
Clauses A and B, detaching the township
Clarence from Russell county, were drop-
, .ped.
Mr. Bowen, on clause 0, defining Ren -
grew North, stated that the entire change
was the transfer of the townships of Head,
• Maria and Clara to Nipissing.
Sir John Thompson explamed that clause
i
E as printed did not nclude, as was in-
• tended, the township of Niagara. He there• :
fore inserted these words.
Mr. Mills moved that the village of Mer-
ritton be put in the county of Lincoln, where
it belonged.
Sir John Thompson agreed to this motion,
and the clause was so amended.
On clause G, defining Haldimand and
1VIonck,
Mr. Mills objected to abolishing two con-
stituencies in the west and leaving the
weaker sections of the Province with a full
measure of representation. Why not unite
Addington and Lennox or Frontenac and
• Lennox, giving the town srf Portsmouth to
the city of Kingston, and leave the Niagara
- district as it is?
Sir John Thompson said that the popula-
tion of Haldimand was 10,300, of 1Vionok
15,300. He was afraid he could not agree
to the change proposed by his hon. friend
, from South Oxford and hie hon. friend fitim
Bothwell.
The clause was adopted.
On clause H, dealing with South Went-
worth,
Mr. Paterson (Brant) pointed out that
the constituency was separated. The town-
ship of Anoaster or city of Hamilton divided
the town of Dundee and the township of
Flamboroa
Mr. Laurier called upon the member for
•fitbeta (Mr. Weldon), who had stated that
e was opposed to the bill of 1882 and only
voted against the amendment of the mem-
ber for 'North Simcoe because that bill had
.e. the sanction of time. The provision was
a gerrymander of the gerrymander of
1882.
Mr. Macdonald (Winnipeg), said he was
'surprised at the proposal of the member for
.Bothwell to unite Kingston and Portsmouth
and throw the counties of Frontenae and
Lennox together,_since there was no con-
nection between Kingston and Portsmouth
municipality, and the same could be said of
Frontenac and Lennox.
Mr. Boyle was sorry that it had been
-found necessary to remove the constituency
of Monck, and still thought some arrange-
ment might be made by which it could be
retained.
e Mr. Macdonald (Huron) contended that
Western Ontario was under -represented,
and he was opposed to taking members from
that section. The population west of To-
ronto was 1,119,000, and 49 members came
from that portion. East of Toronto the
population was 630,000, and 32 members
came from that section, showing that the
east was much more largely represented
numerically than the west.
Mr. Weldon said that if the proposal was
to unite two of the small counties in the
east, and also the two Wentworths, he
• thought it was reasonable, and would
frankly say if put forward he would sup-
port it.
• The House was again in committee on the
Redistribution Bill.
Mr. Bowell said as far as he was con-
eemed he would have no objection to taking
•a unib beginning at the east and dividing
the whole Province of Ontario, giving repro.
sentation by pOpuhrtion 80 far as could be
done without interfering with the township
...1e4mes.
Sir Richard Cartwright said the Ministry
said that they desired the minimum of dis-
turbance and that as few constituencies as
• possible should be meefered with. • He
would suggest that the four smallest con-
,stituencies in Ontario continguous to one
another be united, two and two, thereby
.obtaining the minimum of disturbance,
and the two necessary representatives
'would be secured, and leave the rest of the
province alone. Unite North Leeds and
Grenville, with a population of 12,500,
with South Grenville having 13,000;.
and then unite either Frontenao,
1.4,800, and Lennox, 13,300, or
Lennox and Addington. He pro-
poseclein amendment to the clause that the
• electoral division of Toronto be divided iad
two divisions returning one member each,
that Frontenao and Lennox bo united to
return one member, South Grenville and
North Leeds be united and return one mem-
ber, and let the eleoteral districts of Algoma
. and Nipissing be dividedto return one mem-
ber each.
Mr. Bowell thought this wanot in order,
ea it meant an amendment to the entire bill,
and the committee would have to recast all
they had done.
Sir John Thompson—We have been our
weekgetting down to eection H. I would
be sorry to go back. (Laughter.)
The amendment was put and lost on the
following vote: Yeas 32, nays 58.
Mt. Bain (Wentworth) moved in amend-
ment that clause Ti be amended by striking
out the words East and West Flamboro' and
village of Watadowo and adding township
,.ot Ancestor.
Mr. Paterson (Brant) said that as a queso
tion of numerical coneicleration there was a
difference of 4,000 between the counties of
North Brant and Wentworth, and this,
besides the geographical absurdity implied
• hi the proposal, made it inexciumble.
Mr. Montegue raid during the debate on
the bill of 1882 hon. gentlemen had com-
• Veined of the leftgth a the cotay of
rant, which they said extended front
Hamilton almost tb the town of Woodstock
yet now they would supporb an ittnenciment
Tr,
inoreasing the length of that riding by ten
er fifteen miles.
The amendment was lost by the following
Vote: Ape 21, nays 40.
Sir John Thompeon moved the insertion
of a clause relotiug to the constituency of
Bothwell, by which the island of Walpole
and other islands in the St. Clair river
would be added to that riding.
Mr. Milis said he had another amend-
ment to propose, and the matter was allowed
to stand for the present.
Clem° M, by which it was proposed to
transfer London West to the city of London
for electoral purposes, was dropped.
On the clause dealing with West Toronto,
Mr. Denison said, as some members had
euggeeted that this rtlling should he divided,
he had a suggestion to offer. Me moved
eta West Toronto be divided by Bathurst
street, including Toronto Island, all west of
Bathurst being West Toronto, and all east
West Centre Toronto, while what was now
known as Centre Toronto would be East
Centre Toronto. This was allowed to
stand.
Mr. Bennett moved amendments respect-
ing Muskoka, East Simcoe, North Ontario,
and South Victoria, of which he gave notice
on Friday night.
Sir John Thompson said it was rather
late to take that up this evening.
The committee reported progress.
The House went into committee on the
Redistribution Bill.
On section 3 of clause 2, dealing with the
Province of Quebec,
Mr. Laurier said he begged to move that
the whole of the motion as to changes made
in Quebec be omitted from the bill. Party
inspired hon. gentlemen opposite. As an
instance it was only necessary to look at
the SenAe. It had been created for an
express purpose, but instead of fulfilling
that purpose, what was it? To -day it was
reduced to such a place that you could
count on the fingers of your two hands the
members of the Liberal party therein. The
Liberal party had been ostracised from the
bench by a high hand, and the object of
this bill was to ostracise the Liberals from
this House, not with a high hand,
but by degrees. The member for
Albert stated some time ago that he
was shocked and horrified at his (Mr.
Laurier's calling the measure a gerrymander.
Mr. Ouimet said it would be amusing, if
the House had time for it, ' to follow the
leader of the Opposition in the shifting
positions he took with regard to this bill.
In the first place it was perfectly clear that
if Montreal and other places were to be
given representation in proportion to their
population, other constituencies must be
wiped out; for the number of members was
fixed by the constitution. The
interest of religion and nationality must
not be forgotten in dealing with Quebec,
and he flattered himself that these also had
been harmonized.
Mr. Laurier—That is very poor flattery.
Mr. Ouimet said if he had to wait for
compliments from the hon. gentleman he
would wait a long time. Therefore, he
thought it well to speak in his own praise
when he honestly could. (Laughter.) The
attempt had been made quietly to stir up
religious feeling, and rumors had been care-
fully circulated among the Government
supporters that the religion of the min-
ority would be put at disadvantage by the
Bill.
Mr. Laurier—I deny that statement abso-
lutely.
Mr.KInimet—Snch ruraorswere circulated.
I heard it from several.
Mr. Choquette—Name, name.
Mr. Omelet—My word will go for what it
is worth. The hon. gentleman is not bound
to believe what I say.
Mr. Choquette—I do not believe it.
Mr. Ouimet—I am not speaking to be be-
lieved by him.
Mr. Learier—Such insinuations are alto-
gether cowardly.
Mr. Ouimet said that in the central group
he had followed the rules laid down by the
leader of the Opposition himself, so far as
those principles could be harmonized.
AFTER ontrass.
Mr. Beehard continued his addres in op-
position to the bill, and supporting Mr.
Laurier's amendment.
Mr. Jeannette supported the measure.
Mr. Choquette spoke briefly.
Sir John Thompson congratulated the
member for L'Assomption (Mr. jeannotte)
not only upon the manner of his first speech
in the House, but also upon the fact that he
had introduced some arguments upon the
subject which he (Sir John Thompson) had
not noticed in the speeches of gentlemen
opposite, though he had tistened carefully.
Mr. Mills said there was no pressing
necessity for going on with the bill. If
there had been such obligation was binding
on them last session. While the Govern-
ment considered the claims of Montreal to
increased representation, why did they not
consider the claim of Drummond and Artha-
baskaville to another representative, and
why was not Ottawa County given three
representatives?
.Mr. Montagne—If you had your way it
would only have one.
Mr. Mills—What right have you to say
that?
Mr. Montague—You support the amend-
ment of your leader, which is to leave the
Province of Quebec alone.
Mr. Mills—We are only anxious for de-
lay. The present measure was entirely un-
justifiable from any principle whatever. It
was an unprincipled measure introduced by
a Government not overburdened with regard
to political principle.
Mr. Davin said that in condemning thie
bill in toto as the leader of the Opposition
and the member for WA hwell had done,
they were only following the example of the
Tory party in England when they opposed
the Reform Bill of 1832.
The motion that sub -section 3 of section 2
dealing with the Province of Quebec do
form part of the bill was carried by 57 to 27.
On sub -section (a) clefiningOttawacounty,
Sir John Thompson said the Government
proposed that the division in this county
should be north and south instead of east
and west, Ottawa West to be known as
Wright — (Conservative applause) — and
Ottawa East as Labelle.
• The sub -section as amended was adopted.
On sub -section (o) defining Laval,
Mr. Laurier wished to point out the want
of logic in the Minister of Public Works'
assertion that a man in Montreal was as
good as a man in the rural districts. If that
were so true ars he held it to be, Montreal
and Hochelaga would have eleven repre-
reutatives instead of five. There was no
reason for giving Montreal and Efochelaga
five reprasebtatives and stopping there. He
appealed to the House to strike oat this
clause.
After further discussion the sub -section
was carried.
After a brief discussion the clauses re-
lating to Joliette and Mositcalrn were
aropped, thus retaining these oonstituencies
as at present.
In respect 01 Hochelaga East and West ib
was decided, on Sir Johrt Thompson' e sug-
gestion, to name them respectively 'Roche -
raga and ISIalsionneuve.
During this dismission on the Montreal
diaricts Sir Jho Thompson proposed to
add to the new constittieney of St. James
the East Ward, proposed under the bill to
be part of St. Anne's divisiou.
Mr, 13rodour objected to tide propesal as
—7.
not calculated to equalize the popnlation
Mr. Outman defended the proposal on the
ground that the interests of race harmony
would be promoted by it.
After further discussion the amendment
was carried.
On the clause relating to Chateaugoay,
Mr. 33rown contended that the effect of
the rearrangement proposed would be to
prevent the election. of an English-speaking
representative, which was in direct contra-
diction of the expression of interest in thirs
ohms and their rights expressed by the Min-
ister of Public Works; (Mr. Ouimet).
Mr. Ottepleau denied that the result in-
dicated would follow. He understood it
was proposed to amend the bill by leaving
Chatee.nguay and St. Philomene parishes in
Chateanguay.
Mr. Seaver oontended that Mr. Brown
was oorreot in the forecast he had given of
the effect of the change.
Mr. Laurier objected to the proposal
made by Mr. Chapleau, as not meeting the
case. He suggested that Napierville and
Laprairie should be united. This would
give, say, 21,000 population for the united
counties. He moved an amendment to this
effect.
After a further discussion debate on this
Clause was adjourned, and the committee
rose and reported, and asked leave to sit
again.
On the motion for adjournment,
Mr. Laurier asked as to the truth of the
statements in the newspapers of serious
trouble in Edmonton over the removal of
the Land office.
• Sir John Thompson said there was no
serious trouble. No proposal had been
made to remove the land office, but orders
had been given to remove some of the
records'in order to facilitate the making of
entries by settlers, and the only trouble was
caused by a few persons who desired to pre.
vent the removal of the records.
Discussion was continued on sub -sections
"5 "and " T," dealing with Rouville 'and
Chambly. And then, on motion, Sir John
Thompaon asked that these clauses be
allowed to stand.
The conindttee then took up the sub-
section dealing with West Toronto. The
question was on lir. Denison's amendment,
that West Toronto be divided into two
constituencies by Bathurst street, one to be
West Toronto and the other West Centre
Toronto.
Mr. Cockburn said that it did seem to
him that some concession should be made
by Toronto by which the manufacturing
interests of that great city would be repre-
sented. Ten years ago the capital in-
vested amounted to only $4,000,000, now
it was $32,000,000. The number of
employees was 9,400, now it was 26,333.
He gave other figures to show the progress
of Toronto.
Sir John Thompson said he could not
accept this, much as he admired Toronto,
its great growth, and of course its represen-
tatives, but it would be necessary if this
was.accepted to remodel the whole Bill, and
of course give greater representation to
MontreaL
Sir John Thompson announced that it
was decided to leave the electoral district
of Chateauguay as it is now, except that
it should include the Indian village of
Caughnawaga. This was agreed to. It
was decided also to unite Laprairie and
Napierville.
Mr. Chapleau announced that it was pro-
posed to unite St. John and Iberville, and
also to put in with them the two small par-
ishes of NotreDame deStaneridgeand Notre
Dame des Anges. It was proposed also to
take the parish of Lacolle from St. John,
adding it to Missisquoi.
After considerable discussion the clause
was adopted.
Mr. Welsh tnade an energetic speech. He
claimed. that if the Local Government had
gerrymandered the Province they had
learned to do it from this Government. The
Islanders had never had a day's luck since
they were confederated. This Government
had taken away everything they could from
the Island, and now they were taking away
a member.
Mr. Bowell—We are leaving the Island.
M. Welsh—Oh, you would take it away
if you could. (Laughter.) For 120 years
the borders of the counties had never been
touched, and now it was going to be cut up.
He criticised the bill as it dealt with Prince
Edward Island at length.
After a further discussion the committee
rose and reported progress.
Sir John Thompson moved the second
reading of the Bill to amend the General
Inspection Act. He explained that he
understood some gentlemen dashed to pre-
sent to the House some views on the sub-
ject, and that they would be prevented from
doing BO if the consideration of the measure
was postponed.
Mr. Borden expressed gratitude to the
Minister for giving himself and others an
opportunity to speak upon the subject at
this time. This Bill, while it related to the
export of apples, was not what the fruit -
growers of Nova Scotia wanted. The Bill
provided for the inspection of apples, but it
did not deal with the size of the barrels. At
present dishonest shippers were in the habit
of making the barrels with theheadsundaly
thick and very straight in the stave, so
that they contained a comparatively small
quantity of fruit. It was proposed also
that the maker of barrels should be obliged
to stamp his name upon each barrel, both
maker and shipper to be subject to fine in
case of packages being undersized, and he
hoped the Government would consider this
matter and give notice of intention to make
the amendment. He suggested also that
potato barrels should be similarly regulated
and inspected.
• Mr. Mills (Annapolis) endorsed the sug-
gestion enade by the last speaker.
Mr. McMillan (Huron) contended either
that the inspection should be permissive or
else that the inspection should take place
on the premises of the grower.
Mr. Campbell said the effort in Ontario
was to make apple barrels of the same con-
tents as flour barrels. These barrels were
now made of 28a inch stave and heads 1.6i
inch, and the reason why the barrels were
made as nearly cylindrical as possible was
to save freight, the charge on. the Atlantic
vessels being by the space occupied, and the
less bulge in the barrels the closer they
would pack. At present flour was shipped
in sacks for this reason. It wag not necere
sexy to have more bulge on the barrel than
jest enough to tighten the hoops. He
thought the trade should be allowed to
regulate this matter. Thousand's of barrel's
of apples were shipped out of his county
(Kent) annually, and he had never heard
any complaint or any demand for this
change.
The House went into committee on the
Redistribution bill. The amendment by
Mr. Davies that the County line's in Prince
Edward Isfand be not interfered with, was
under discussion.
The question was pub and voted on in
committee, ancl 1VIr. Davies' amendment was
defeated ; yeas 49, nays 71.
The debate at the elatlBeii relating to
Prince Edward Island was eontinued by
Mr. Davies, 8it John Thompson and Mr.
tdills (Bothwell).
The bill from the Smears to inake further
provision for land emote to menabers of the
militia fordo in the Northwest was read a
first thne
The bill ftore the Senates to wand the
WindiagrUP Act was read a first time.
Mr. Devechtey's Bill to amend the Domino
ion Land AO 'wee reed a third time after
some amendments.
The grouse then took concurrence in the
estimates pissed in Committee of Supply.
On items relating to penitentiaries)
Sir John Thompeon, replying to Sir Rick-
ard Cartwright, stated that it was proposed
to proceed soon with the construction of two
buildings at Kingston, one for criminal
lawless and the other for fowl° criminals.
There was room for one a these on the
present penitentiary property, but for the
other a site would have to be acquired.
On conurrence in the vote for customs.
Mr. Chapleau, in aeswer to Sir Riohard
Cartwright, said °heave had been made in
the customs service by a reduction in the
number of officers formerly entitled to
share in nnes and in smuggled goods for -
felted to the Crown. Collectors over a ow-
tain salary would have no share in finea or
eizures.
On the item respecting the Sault Ste.
Marie Canal,
Sir Richard Cartwright asked if the Gov-
ernment was in possession of information to
the effect that the Government were about
to close the American Sault Canal to Cana -
diem traffic.
Sir John Thompson replied they had
heard nothing of it except what had ap-
peared in the newspapers, giving the text
of what purported to be the President's
message. Negotiations had been carried on
between the two Governments respecting
this subject. The Canadian Government
had eent a despatch to Washington, which
must have reached the President about the
time he sent his message to the American
Senate. He thought a satisfactory settle-
ment would be reached. He (Sir John
Thompson) had promised that a statetnea
would be made to the House on the subject,
and the documents laid on the table. This
had been postponed pending the receipt of
information as to the exact character of the
President's message. The Finance Minister
(Mr. Foster) would be in the House to -mor-
row, and he would make a statement either
then or at an early day.
• Sir John Thompson announced that as
next week there would be two holidays,
Wednesday a statutory holiday and Friday
Dominion Day, he proposed that they be
observed. He made the announcement in
order that members could make what
arrangements they wished.
The House went into committee on the
bill to amend the Patent Act.
Sir Richard Cartwright could not agree
to the extension of the term of patents to
eighteen years, as fifteen years was quite as
long as any single patent should live.
Mr. Carling said it was not intended to
extend the time of present patents, but
only those issued henceforth.
Mr. McMullen moved that fifteen years
be the term for the life of a patent.
The amendment was lost, the clause car-
ried, and the bill reported.
The House went into committee on the
Criminal Code.
Mr. Curran said that his attention had
been called to the provisions of section 269,
by the §. P. C. and W. of Montreal,
whereby anyone carnally knowing a girl
under 14 years of age is liable to imprison-
ment for life, and in accordance with their
request he moved that the age be raised
to 16.
Sir John Thompson pointed out that
although he had tlf:i utmost respect for
philanthropists of the kind mentioned, it
must be remembered that a terrible punish-
ment was provided for the offence. The
clause was for the protection of children,
and it could not be made to cover the case
of women.
A clause reads : "After the commence-
ment of this act no grand jury shall present
that any one has committed an offence ex-
cept upon a bill of indictment duly set be-
fore them. (2) After the commencement of
this Act no one shall be tried upon any
coroner's inquisition."
Mr. Davies said this clause limited the
powers which the grand jury at present
exercised to the benefit of the public. It
would interfere with the investigating
powers ef grand juries.
Sir John Thompson said it was not the
intention of the Act to limit the investigat-
ing .powers of grand juries, but to provide
against the springing of an indictment in a
summary manner.
A Watelunaker's Epitaph.
This epitaph is said to be a faithful copy
from a tombstone in the cemetery of
Llwa,d1wfwdl :
"Hers lies, in a horizontal position, the
outside case of George Raleigh, watch-
maker, whose abilities in that line were an
honor to his profession. Integrity was the
mainspring and prudence the regulator of
all the actions of his life. Humane, honest
and industrious, his hands never stopped
until he had relieved distresses. He had
the art of disposing of his time in such a
way that he never went wrong, except when
set going by persons who did not know his
key, and even then was easily set right
again. He departed this life December 4th,
1811, wound up in the hope of being taken
in hand by his Maker, thoroughly cleaned,
regulated and repaired, and set ageing in
the world to come.
Whore God's Name is Not Allowed.
The talk about disestablishment in the
British Parliament lias alarmed seine of the
church people, and given them a desire to
take an active part in the coming general
elections. At Stonehaven, in Scotland, a
meeting in "defense of tke church" was
recently held in the Town Hall. In the
course of a fervid speech the Chairman
made the following remarkable statement,
as reported by, the Dundee Covirier : "In
the colony of Victoria, Australia, the name
of God is not allowed to appear in any of
the school books."

—" Do you know," said one Pittsburg
Methodist Protestant to another, "that
our general conference eliminated the
word obey' from the marriage service ?"
"Yes,1 know," replied the other, "and
my wife insists that the change is retroac-

Miss Ida C. Clothier, a Poston lady, has
secured a cottage at 'Martitou Sprioge, at
which she will this summer entertain nearly
two hundred of Boston's young women, who
cannot afford to take a vacation at their
own expense. From twelve to fourteen will
be afforded a season of recreation at ens
time. This is an eminently practical pro-
ject.

quarrels in the neighborhood. Such wor
