My Government wee anxious that there
shl,uld be submitted at the same timo to
the same tribunal the question of our whole
northern bintr.c1ery, and also tho question
of title to certain lands to which the Fed-
eral Government has sot up a claim on
outer grounds.
The c'o'rn 1<ponllcnon on these subjects,
and sumo other correspondence which has
taken place urs matters affecting the terri-
tory, will be laid before you.
After the derision of the Privy Council,

Connell Las pronouned a ,judgment in re.
gold to the legal right, of the public in the
riveia and air, anis of the Province, affirm-
ing the vi0ws so strenuously maintained by
the Pruviucial Legislature,
I have also to express my satisfaction
that the questions submilted to the Su -
prune ('curt of Canada tueehillg the vaBrd-
lty of the License Acts passed by the Fed-

feet that twilh certain inconsiderable ex-
eoptiol,$) there enactments exceeded the
jurisdiction of the Federal Parliament.
The confusion which those .Acts created
hats taus been removed,
The Prev(uco has boon favored with a
1:cuntiful harvest of farm products, and
the o11idal returns of the department of
Agriculture again show that in staple ear-
eals rho average yield is merger than obtained
in any other equal area on the continent.
It is, however, a matter for serious regret
that owing to the low market prices which
11av0,yrevailed for sumo time the fill con.
mrnciel benefit of tbo harvest hue not been
realized to any such extent as in former
years.
Itis to be 0) grettod also that the lumber ' tee
trade of the Province, from which a largo
portion of our 1evem10 is derived, has not
Escaped the depression which nes affected
0111er industries here and elsewhere during

Owing to tine changes rondo in the Aets
