Ottawa, May 21. -On the opening
of the House yesterday morning the
Premier announced that he under-
stood that the Crow's Nest Southern
Railway Company'S bill was to be
withdrawn. The bill stood Orst on
the list, of private bills, and Was left
an the order paper.
Dr. McLennan (Inveraess) Moved
the six months' hoist for the bill to
incorporate the Canadian Nurses'
Aseociation.
Several members spoke for and
agaiast the bill.

Mr. Stephens* a,skedeellas Ilse infer -
elation been given to the Government
that one of the judges of the High
Court at Justice in Onterio is un-
fortunately physically inrapable of
preperly hearing the evideace adduce
ed in cases tried before bine? In con-
equetnce of such physical infirmity,
do some berristers arrange to have
eases tried by some other judge?
Tine Premier, in reply. said: Re-
Presentation:le have beeu made to the
Minister of Justice from variana
counsel practising at the bar of On-
tario on Mr. Justice Robertson's
physical' aefirmity, and some couesel
of eminence have refused to take
cases before hini, on account of his
very great deafness. The truth is.
Mr. Justice Robertson is, in the
opinion or the bar. Ine lOnger lit for
his duties, but op to the present time
he does not seem to realize what is
apparent to the profession and to
the public.
The Montgomery Memorial.
In answer to Mr. E. F. Clarke, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier said; The Goverse
meat has not been asked for permis-
sion to erect or to have a monument
or tablet erected to the memory of
Gen. Montgomery. The Goverrunent
Is aware that an application has
been made by a, committee of the
Sons of the Revolution of Boston to
the City Council of the City of Que-
bec, for permission to erect a tablet
on the apot where Montgomery fell.
As the parties who znado tine apple
cetien have not addressed any peti-
tion to the Government, it is assum-
ed that this znemorial will be erected
upon municipal property, and in such
a, case the Government will have no
control or authority in the matter.
'he cliff upon which the board has
beea erected for a. great many years,
with the inscription. "lIere Mont-
gomery Fell," is upon Government
property.
Telephones, other Than
In answer to Mr. E. F. Clarke, Mr.
Blair said, giving all the information
he could obtain, the mileage Of all
telephone conmanies, other than the
Bell Telephone Company, in opera-.
tion in Canada is: Miles of poles,
13,607; miles of wire, 32,511; num-
ber of ofaces in OntariO, 259; ill
Quebec, 165; Nova. Scotia, 15e; in.
New Brunswick, 79; in British Col-
umbia, 38; total 703.
The Joint High eonintisslon.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier Moved a resolu-
tion for the appointment of a second
Inspector of Penitentiaries, at a.
salary of $2,600 a year. Sir Wilfrid
explained that the necessity- for a
second inspector arose from the fact
that, itt additioa to the five regular
penitentiaries in Canada, it was
found necessary to maintain a peni-
tentiary or long -terra prison in. Daw-
son City. "We cannot," he said, "at
the ,present time bring a cOnviet from
Dawson to the British Columbia peni-
tentiary except through territory
that is in the hands of the United
States authorities, and claimed as
American territory. The moment we
brought a prisoner to Skaguay, for
instance, there is no doubt, whatever
that he would be released from our
authority. As soon as the labors of
the Joint High Commission are re-
sumed, which, I think, will be this
year, we are in hopes of getting.the
treaty extended so as to cover the
transfer of prisoners of one country
through the territory of another un-
der the prOper surveillance."
Complaints in the House
On motion to go into supply, Mr.
Wilson (Lennox.) drew attention to a
litter by Charles R. Devlin, Immi-
gration Agent in Ireland, printed in
The Montreal Herald, in which the
writer harshly criticized members of
the House. Mr. WHS.:in submitted
that if Mr. Devlin had the right, to
criticize members of the House, every
civil servant in 'the country had the
same right.
Mr. Cowan -Did he tell the truth?
Mr. Wilson -No, sir, he didaiot tell
the truth. The time, . Mr. Wilson.
said, was too Short to deal. with the
subjept new, but'he would bring: it
up next 'session to sow that either
the reports of the Interior 'Depart-
ment or the statemaets of Mr. Dev-
lin were incorrect. For the •present
he would only say' tacit Mr. Devlin's,
letter was unfair and untruthful:
Mr. Sliton would say nothing fur-
ther for the present than to repeat,
his statement of the other day in
supply, that he would- see to it el at
no official in his department wo id
transgress. in that way again.

'Tee Premier moved the resolution to

Senators and members from $1,000

Ottawa, May 18.-A very heavy
day's work, was done by tite Muse
yesterday, and all the Government
bills upon the order paper save two
were given third readings. Mr. Fie'ld-
ing's resolution granting $75.000
yearly' for the maintenance of it
branch of tine Royal Mint at Ottawa
was reported, and a bill founded up-
on it was given third reading. It is
probable that $2.50, $5 and $10 -will
be the denominations of Canada gold
coins issued. A purchasing assay
ollIce is also to be opened, but whe-
ther it will be located at Dawson
City or int British Columbia, has yet
to be determined. As correspond-
ence respecting the contract between
New South Wales and the Eastern
Extension Company is still proceed-
ing, Sir Wilfrid Laurier had a clause
inserted in the Pacific Cable bill
providing that the act shall not go
into operation until the Governor-
General issues his proclamation.
