The C.P.R. exhibition oar filled with products from Manuoba, the Northwest Territories and British Columbia stood about 5 hours on Monday at the Brussels station and was visited by about 800 peo- ple. The exhibit is, in every respect, ex- ceedingly interesting. It is composed of samples of the various grains, roots and grasses, grown in Manitoba, and the Ter- ritories, aud in addition, many of the minerals and fruits of British Ooltunbia. Samples of wheat are shown the yield of whioh was 75 bushels per 0000. There are samples of oats which weigh over 40 lbs. to the bushel, and which yield as high as 100 bushels to the acre. A. quart. tity of Ladoga, a Reunion %bit lately introduced Into that country, is also ex- hieited. Tho grain appea s to be a little small but as it ripens eight or ten days earlier than Fife it is supposed that it will beoomo the popular variety in a very short time. Early Rose potatoes are shown, the weight of each being from 8 lbs. to 8. lbs. Over fifty varieties of nat. in grasses occupy spaces along the sides aid roof of the oar. .ollICI of these it is said grow to the height of 15 feet in ono season. The fruits and vegetables of British Columbia are magnificent. They oomorise pears, apples, plums, blaelt- berries &1,&o., preserved in alcohol. A. block of bituminous cope that weigie.rt when first put in the oar 1,100 lbs., is also exhibited. It wee taken from the great Galt mine at Lethbridge, Alberta,. The seam of eoal at the mine is 7e feet thiek. Coal at Lethbridge is worth only 42.26 per ton. There is also displayed a quantity of copper ore from Sudbury, Iron ore from near the sante district, W- eer on from the Pride of Illecillowaot mine which yields from 600 to 1,500 online to the ton, gold quartz from the Reiter river, etc., &o. Tho exhibit is an excellent aclvertise• merit of the met resources of the great Canadian Northwest and will doubt- less do =oh towards attracting settlers thereto from the more thickly inhebit- ed portions of the older provinces.

Tho dinession was resumed upon ?.fr. Laurier's resolution in favor of direct negotiation by Canada with the United States, looking to tho 'settlement of the fisherlea question on the basis of extend- ed trade relations. Dr. Macdonald, of Huron as the mover of the edjournment of the debate on Tuesday last, was the first optimiser. His speresh showed deep research and marked ability in preseatation. He pointed out the three questions involved -the fisheries queation, the Reelproeity question and the question 01 the right of Canada to have a voioe in tho making her own commercial treaties, lie strewed how these grave questions were interwoven and interde- pendent, and made point after point in support of the position taken by the Op• position in this matter. While he was in the midst of a most effeotive part of his speech, showiug hotv'enential it teas to the maintenance of Canada's rights in 10100100 00 other countries that Canadians ',haute direct the negotiation of all later - :rational arrangements affecting Canada, the Speaker called him to order, tho ma. son given being that he was disousaing the question of Canada making her wont oomrneroial treaties, which had been de. aided upon this session by vote of the House. This ruling caused a good deal of Herpes°, treeing that whet Dr. Mao - do nald WAS saying illustrated closely and fairly one of the points bo had mentioned in opening bis address. It was a relief to the Government and ite supporters, however, as their great anxiety is to shut off disouseion on this question of treaty - making, as was shown by the. fact that they were willing to show a bare majority of 28 -less than half their majority of last year. Dr. Maodonald sought 00 0)0010 the Speaker's views by keeping more closely to the point involved in the words of the motion, but unee more he was called to order,the Speaker sticking to mi lois judg ent, n spite of the expostele pions of Mr. Davies and other members of the Opposition. Dr. Macdonald., thus prevented from filling oat and completing his remarks, WAS compelled to bring his 'speech to a olose, whioh he did in a stir. 15 appeal to the House to not iu this matter in e, spirit of tinnily ludependenee, looking to greeter freedom of trade be- tween Canada and its greatest natural market. When the Doctor sat down not a man on the Government aide stirred, and it wits evident that the game was to shut off chum:soiree to rely not upon argu- ments but upon the strength of their mejority. There was a pause for some time, Red the Speaker was about to pat the resolution. .A, shout of .00WarYtiS" from a Liberal was received with loud applause on the Opposition side. le3keettsfeelIN eteoltoolt Boatd.

Allan, Goaerich ; E. W. Wellington, To- ronto, awl T. H. Race, ellichell, waited on the Minister of Agriculture at his of- fice last Friday and presented a request for some help to enable the fruit -growers to send delegates to the vaiious Farmers' Institute meetings. In the course of the discussion it was stated that the farmers strongly desire the presence, of the fruit - growers at their meetings so that ques- tions relating to fruit culture may be thoroughly disoussee. The fruit-growera feeling unable a themselves to meet the expensoof sending delegates to the vari- ous meetings, desired the Government to come to their assistance. Mr. Drury agreed that the presence of the fruit - growers at the institute meeting& was a highly emninenchtle object and suggested that the fruit -growers appoint three or four delegates in various parts of the country to attend the meetings. The Government would oontribute e2.50 per day toward their expenees. In pursuance of this decision the president of the fruit growers will, after consultrition with his fellow -officers, appoint four repreeente- tive men to see to the interests of fruit culture at the tmetings of the various in. Ahrens. Tne members of the deputation are well pleased with the result of their labors. Thos. Gilmore M.PP. for Ease Huron, spoke out manfully in opposition to the veer eternity craze and stated he would vote against the Bill. He will be backed up by East Huron on tho question. Last Tuesday a deputation waited on the Attorney -General relative to their eland against the new oeunties Bill It WAS the most formidable of all in point of lumbers, and perhaps, in spite of the arguments 10 mine to advance, was the most grateftil to the Government, inas. lunch as it came not to ask anything but simply to give advise. It was introtimied by Messrs. Gibson, O'Connor and Allan, and came to offer argurnento against the passage of the bill for the formation oE new counties lately introduced by the Government.
