so that it may even exceed this. The

. PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS.,
lhe great light of the sestion thus far
was on the subject of Parliament build-
ings, It has been found impossible to
erect suitable buildings for the sum of
$750,000, appropriated during the ses-
sion of 1885, and the Governinent are
now asking for $1,050,000 for the_ pur-
pose. The debate was had on a motion by
theCominissioner of PeblieWorks for the
ratification of the Lionel Yorke contract
for the foundation and watts for $752,-
000. Mr. Fraser defended the Govern-
ment's course in one of the ablest
v speeches he has ever delivered in .Parlia-
ment. Re argued -the absolute necessity
of -new buildings, and showed at length
the painstaking efforts of the Govern-
ment to get the best possible plans and
to • provide for the erection of the most
creditable buildings at the lowest possi-
b'e figure. The chief Opposition speak-
ers were Mr. Creighton and Mr. E. F.
Clarke, of Toronto. It was n
ed to be shown. that the Geyer

it was vehemently urged that

Iii'MASTER UNIVERSITY.
,
Therewas an important d .bate in the

House on Mr. Harcourt's ill to erect

ferring powers. The chief Opposition to
the Bill' was offered by Ms. Gibson, of
Hamilton, and Mr. Craig, o1 East Dur -
hem, a prominent -member of the Bap-
tist denomination. These itembers at-
tempted to show that the creation of
another university was opcised to the
interests of University Federation, and
that the Baptists had mada no united
demand for the leoislation ptopesecl to be
enacted. But it b was ar v)ued on the
other hand that the Ba stists were;
inianimous for the Bill, jancl that as
Senator McMasteroffered t endow the:
university only on - coiacliti n that the
legislation was granted, and that as
the Baptists were asking 4o more than,
had been conceded. to all idhe other de:
nominations, their petition could not be
justly refused. This view prevailed
with a great majority of On Reese, and
the Bill finally passed to. its second
reading without a division.

w; ich several witnesses were examined
and a verdict brought in of "dead from
neglect and exposure." On the strength
of the evidence at the inquest chief Pet-
typiece went to Lucknow and arrested a
girl named Lena Mackenzie, and on
Wednesday evening her ease came up
for investigation before the magistrate's
court at Wingham. After an exhaustive
enquiry the evidence was found not to
be sufficient to commit het for trial and
she was accordingly acquitted of the
charge. Since then no other arrest has
been made and it looks as though the
case will remain a mystery.
