THE HOUSE pROTtOGTJED.
DONALD.
Mr. Whitney made a suggestion .that
funds be provided to secure a portrait
for the Legislative halls of the First
Premier or the province, Sohn Sand -
field Macdonald. He also hoped to see
a portrait of the present Premier ad-
orning the chamber.
Mr. Hardy approved of the first part
of the suggestion, but as to the por-
trait of hiraself he was sure he would
not feel at home unless a portrait of
Mr. Whitney was hanging close at
hand.
THE PARIS EXPOSITION.
Mr. Matheson asked what provision
the Government proposed to make for
a provincial exhibit at the Paris Ex-
hibition. Mr. Hardy responded that
the system would be different from
that adopted with regard to the
World's Fair at Chicago. Then the
Dominion and the provinces made
separate exhibits. This year there
would be one complete exhibit, under
the auspices of the Dominion, to which
the provinces would be asked to con-
tribute as a part of Canada.' They
Were thus relieved of much responsibil-
ity, and would not need to spend so
much money. Messrs. Archibald Blue,
3. L. Lumsden, C. C. James and Au-
brey White would be asked to confer
with the Dominion commissioners as
to the exhibit.. The Federal Govern-
ment would. appoint an honorary com-
mission, and it was probable that a
commission would be appointed by the
Ontario Government to remain a short
time in Paris.
THE FISHERIES BILL.
The Fisheries bill was introduced by
the Premier. It prohibits netting in
streams frequented by speckled trout.
Every provincial constable is made an
ex -officio overseer.The finding of
nets or prohibited devices in possession
of anyone is to be prima facie evidence
td lf.m. Every licensee or lessee of
fishing privileges is obliged to submit
an annual statement of Weright and
variety of all fish caught by him dur-
ing the year. The overseers appoint-
ed by the Government are to fix the
blame -at which 'nets may be set. The
sales of bass under 10 inches and of
white fish, salmon, or lake trout under
two pounds are prohibited. Exporta-
tion beyond the borders of the province
of such fish is prohibited, Exporta-
tion of speckled trout, bass, and mask-
inonge is also prohibited for five years

LIEUetelelANT-GOVERNOR'S SPEECH
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the
Legislative Assembly:
In dismissing you; from the arduous
labours ce: the session I have to thank
you for tbhe attention given to e
publie duties imposed upon you and
tor the valuable legislation which
have just sanctioned.
I cordially approve of the measures
adopted for supplementing the re-
venues of the province. By the act
of last year, which required themanu-
facture of sawlogs in Canada, it was
inevitable that the receipts from the
Crown Lands Department would, be
impaired, and, when to the probable
loss of revenue is added the expendi-
ture arising fromthe increase of popu-
lation and the growing needs of the
pieple, the public interests required.
that provisions should; be made for all
necessary expenditure and for the
maintenance of the financial etanding
of the province. I a.na glad that you
have been able to effect this by a
moderate tax upon the accumulation
of capital and by a reasonable in-
crease in the duties upon distillers'
brewers' and liguOr licenses. It is
gratifying to believe that the taxes
imposed will not be burdensome , to
any of the classes affected.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.
'young Frew:Annan 'ranee a Terrible ne-
reline Upon Mis Indian Sweetheart.
A despateli /rem Toledo, Ohio, says:—
James Lablanche, a young Frenchman,
stabbed and killed his Indian • sweet-
heart, Olga Possamie at Pelee Point,
Ontario, and then stabbed hinaself to
the, heart. The Point Is near Pelee
Island,' and during the winter months
the inhabitants are isolated. The
steamer American F,agle has just ar-
riVed from the island bringing the
story of the tragedy.:.
•
Lablanche and the pretty Indian girl
were lovers and last summere they
plighted their troth. The rnatriage
°event:My was to have been performed
sbortly. When the young Frenehman
went to call on his sweetheart last
week, he learned that another, an Am-
erican from Sandusky, had usurped his
place in the maidens heart. He was
distracted. lIe induced the girl to take
a walk with him, and when near
"Lover's Rock" he sstabbed her, kill-
ing hex inetantly. Ile threw the girl's
body into the lake, and after stabbing
himself, fell into the water' after her,
"Lover's Rock" is a promontory
famous throUghout this section of the
country.
STRIKING AT BRITISH COLUIVIBIA.
The Government has announced that
it will inapose a tax on all mining cor-
porations deating in properties outside
this province who sell stock in Ontario.
This is a blow at some of the British
Columbia companies.
MAY QUASH BONUSES.
I assent with much pleasure to the
act respecting aid to iserta.in railWays.
Since Confederation the energies of
the Assembly have been directed to-
wards the ,development of all sections
a - the province, and as a result of a
wise and prudent expenditure of pub-
lic moneys, nearly all the outlying
portion of e, older settlements have
been Placed within easy reach of the
markets of the world by the improved
transportation facilities thus afforded.
In order, however, that the agricul-
tural resources of the northerly and
westerly parts of Ontario may be
°Pelted for further settlement, and
that the valuable mineral deposits now
generally believed to •exist in 'great
abundance in the same districts may
be brougle within the possibilities of
development and that the timber and
other resources of those •districts may
be made available, the further exten-
sion of our railway systems to those
sections becomes necessary. am
pleased therefore, to think that within
two or three years access will probably
be obtained by railway to the agri-
cultural landa in the, Rainy River dis-
trict and the mineral and timber lands
lying between Rainy Lake and Port
Arthur. 1 am also pleased to notice
that through part of the railroad sys-
temst projected it is intended to place
the capital •of the province in direct
communication with the tide waters
of Hudson's Bay, thus opening a new
region to the energies of our Own
people and establishing a new high-
way between our own province by way
of 'Hudson's Bay and the northern
territories of the Dominion.

made to the statute laws of the pro-
vince, and to the Municipal and As-
setsment ' Acts fix. the purpose of

tice and rendering tneve effective 'the

CHANGE IN REGISTRATION.
A change in the statute law was also
introduced, by which Boards of Regis-
tration in towns and class of less than
20 0J0 pop ula tion shall sit three days in-
stead of four, one of which days must

that in going into the business, muni-

fault of an ageeement as to price being
reached between the corporation arid

though they knew hen well during the

FAST TIME TO PACIFIC COAST.
Eight or Ten Molars to be Saved by flft
tanadan Paellie Mann ay.
A despatch from Montreal says :—The
Canadian Pacific railway is arranging
to establish a vexy fast service be-
tween thi.s city and the Pacific. coast.
The work of rearranging the time -table
is now under way, and it is expected
that the new servioe will came into
operation eorne time during May. It is
yet too early to say just what the
reduction in time wiil be, but it is un-
derstood that at least eight or ten
hours will be gained under the new
arrangement. The trip across the
continent now occupies upwards of six
days. With the new time -table in
force, it will be possible to cover the
distance between this city and Van-
couver in five and one-half days. Spec-
ially large and powerful engines are
being constructed to haul the fast
trains, and no effort will be spared to
make the train service of the C. P. R..
across the continent the fastest yet at-
tempted by any trans -continental
road. The new service would probably
be inaugurated before the rush of sum-
mer tourist travel commences.

200 hogs, 290 sheep and lambs, and a
few calvea and milkers.
We had a fair araoant of bueineas
or ari oft -day, but trade was not so
brisk as it has been lately, and both
buyere end millers were inclined to
hold over for tee regular market to-
morrow. As a result all the stuff held
was not sold.
There was no aetael etiange 18the
rates for shipping cattle, and priees
ranged from 4 1-2 to 5e per lb, but
there is a tendency towards weakneekt
and should we have a heavy run of
cattle on Friday it will be intensified,
and lower Prices will Prevail-

at about 3 1-2 to 3 3-ec per lb., and
inferior sells dewei to a little over
70 per lb. We had scene good butch-
ers' cattle here to -day.
Stockers were easier at from 0,50 to
$3.'75 per cwt., and for a few choice
select:logs as newel as 0,90 was occa-
sionally. paid.
Export bulls are easier at from 4 to

Seven butchers' cattle, average 780

THE MASTERS OF ABYSSINIA.
French Have Lost Prestige, But the British
• are Feared and Respected.
A despatch from London says :—The
well-known French Painter, Aime
Nicholas 1Vlorot, who has just returned
to France from Abyssinia, tells a piti-
ful _tale of the manner in which he
was treated by the Abyssinians and of
his • disappointment over the loss of
French prestige. He says a very
wrong idea obtains in France regard-
ing the influence enjoyed by French-
men- in Abyssinia. He elaims French-
raen are contem.ptuously looked down
.upon and are regarded as less than
nothing, while the British, on the con-
trary, are feared and respected. He
concludese—
"From what I have seen, I am per-
suaded the English will soon becorae
masters 'of Abyssinia, just as they
have of Egypt. This is inevitable."
'Twenty-three cattle, raixed buiclaers'
cows and rough stuff, sold at $3,95 per
cwt.

A load, average 1,200 lbs., sold at
$4.65 per cwt.
A. load, a.v,eraese 960 lbs„ sold at 4
1-4c, and. five; dollars over.
Owing to the fel run of last Tues-

little dearer. The k range is from 5 to
5 1-4c, per lb., vvith 5 1-2c, for a few
extra choice. More are wanted.
There is no demand worth speaking
of at present for spring lambs; the
