Colonel Prior brougle± tip the gees -
time of tee manner in wilieh the Al-
asken bow:teary, line was marked. en
the map of tlie Dominion oe Canada
which wag gent to tbe Paris EePose-
tion. Be bad been 'Informed lagt.year
by the Minister of AgrMultere teat
the boundary Was enarked be.th ways,
So as to show the claim both dl Canada
and the Unite0 Stetee. Recently,
notvever, he had received a letter
from Mr. Begg. of RAMO Columbia,
who had eomenunieated with Mr,
Bremner, who saw the man at. Part%
and 32s, Bremner Stated Met the only
boundary marked wasteat in accord-
ance with the A.merican contention,
Col, Prior wanted, to know eyelet wale
the truth of the matter, and also
whether the map was to be. exbibited
at Glasgow in 085 piesent condition.
Sir Wilfrie Let/Mem—I shall call
the attention of my colleague, the
Minister of Agriculture, to the rep-
regents/time of my bon. friend. I may
day, however, that in view of tee ad-
vice WO have reeeived from our law
officer, it le V.,ry herd to main-
tain that the boundary rune up the
Cleeence cbannel. The treaty says,
in go many word% the Portland canal,
but there IS a difference of opinion
between the Americana and ourselves
as to where the cbannel ie. We claim
that it 10 wet of Pearse Island; they
Mahn that it le Observatory inlet. As
to endeavouring to have the line pass
along Clarence channel, \Mitch is a
pretension Mr. Begg has often sub-
mitted to me,, Ido not think anyone
eh° will talce a careful view of the
matter can be convinced of the eor-
reotnees of that pretension. The point
on which we and the Americans do not
agree is as to what is Portland chan-
nel. They want to make it run up
Obseavatory inlet, and then to the
wet, making out that Observatory
inlet es only a. small inlet running
mato the interior. We, on the other
Land, contend that Portland canal is
aa 10 13 described on the Map at Van-
couver, on imhich the treaty of 1825
seems to have been based, namely, all
hat channel of water which emas
veat 05 Pearse ishun.d.
CANA.DIAN PACIFIC CEiARTERS.
On the third reading of the bill "Re-
specting the Canadian Pacific Rail-
vay Company," Mr. Scott, of West
Assinaboie, moved that it be read a
third time thie day gix months. This
es the bill granting a charter from
Teuton to Se:tones Landing, but mak-
ing it conditional +upon the company
Drat constructing a line from Ten-
on to Genii. The contention advanc-
ed by Mr. Scott was that the Canadian
Pacific railway already holds charters
for aeveral brancli lines in Manitoba
end the Territories, and that they
should be tto,mpelled to conatruct these
limes before receiving chartere for
others. More especially he wanted a
Inc built which would give railway
eoramunleation to the people north of
the Qu'Appelle valley.
Mr. Davie, of Seekatehewan, suP-
ported the motion, He contended
bat the object of the C. P. R. in
getting Ogee charters was net to
build the tee% but to prevent others
rem building them.

On the Hero! of 37,500 fort steamship

slaugbtering Canadian cattle at Bel-

Mr. Yesher replied that the Depart-

a, privilege. He intended to visit

would the talk over tbe whole oat-

TO INCORPORATE NURSES.
The House again went into commit-
tee on the bill to incorperate the Can -

Mr. Sutherland objected to the
SeOPO of the bill. He thought it
would make of the incorporators a
Mose corporelion, and advantage the
hospitals with whith they were con-
nected, to the detriment of the hos-
pitale in the. mutter chine and towns'.
He would like to see the bill amended
so as to give equal privileges to all

CRASH IN WALL STREET.
Goen,a I5 1
Many Sena Fortunes Completely
Wiped Out.
A. despatch front New York says :--
dentil Friday, the Black Friday of
39 yearte ago wag remallee to express
the notion oe all the evil that maid
ever befall Wall street. In speaking
of the happening% of Friday. and their
comequeracee, an old stook trader
Said ;—"That which makeg this day
disagtrous is that so many small for -
twee have been wiped out, and go
many parsons of small Incomes have
been ruined. This fact will make the
dal felt by the butcherand bakerg
all oiter The country. After the ex-
perience of to -day, it will be many a
Moon before the geaeral public will
,venture, again into speculation, as it
bee been venturing the last two
menthe.
" The wenderful trading down here
ise to be accounted for, not by the en-
ormous tranmetions of the big fel-
levee, but by tee operatione of thou-
aande of men and women who were
led to beliemee that it was easy to
make quiek. fortunein stook gamb-
ling. They had heard of the luck of
their friendg. They bete read ill the
etewepapere of the luck of persons
tbey had never heard *emend they
ooncludedto take, a flyee in the
steeet. :Many of them got out by
the middle ,of Ittat,week, and they are
dealer by thousands than they were
befove they epeculated. Many more
stayed in too long, and to -night they
are many, dollarWorse off than ne-
thing." ! !.
At the Produce Exchange just after
11 o'clock Friday morning, a cab drove
up and the oolored man gervanit heln-
ed an elderly woman to the Menet. See
might have been 60 yeare old and
wag dressed in black. Calling a mese,
eenger she asked; "What ie the price
of United States Steel, preferred?"
COMPLETELY RUINED.
The box told her that the laet quo-
tation wae $7. The. woman seemed
About to collap,se. Set collected her-
self Ettinewiliat, and then buried leer
face in her handkerchief, and wept] as
if elle had been suddenly afflicted with
a great grief. Aghe went clown the
steps she wee heard to say; "Jackson,
I'm utterly and completely ruined. I
haven't 5 dollar to my name."
The ;secretary to the president of ohe
of the large,st banks in tolwn left the
bank to catch a train for hie home
hi the suburbs. A friend noticed
that be Iseetm.ed to be all broken up
about Something. Asking if any -
tiling was the matter, the secretary
Said;—"Billy, tibia ma,rket has

see that the wounde which had been
inflioted were deep and painful. ,
Thieve was pandemonium on the
Stoek, leeehange, but the scenes there
were net ta be compared with those,
°meted in the offices where the wo-
IIVI/1 trade. As ,the tickers skewed
that prices were going ,down until it
seemed ea if there was no bottom to
the market, the women who gather-
ed rouhad the teekers, ten and fifteen

oef theie heads. It WAS really pitital
to heal: some of the etoriee they tole.
