The debate on the addreee !fleeced of being etaved of till Monday, as mufti, wile proceeded with on Vridae. The principal featureof this was the speecbes of the leaden, When the mover and eeconder of the addreem, ttir. Pardee, of Weet Lembton, and Mr,- Demers, of St, Johns and 'bort vale, Quebec, got in their little say, the gattntlet watt pickeit up by - Mr, Bortien, the leader_ of the Opposition, who made a real fighting speed; from eCart to Male Mr, Borden, so his frienday, never appeared to bettor adeatitage, He le deeeloping rapidly ere 'a leader and le growlieg in the ettpeet and admiration a his follow - ere, He was replied to bY tho -Pro- niter, who aim° was in good form and gkve a Roland for an Oliver every 1mo.

Mr, Yielding with flaying given pow- ers of -attorney to officials of the Dominion Government to repreeent him at the pone in the recent bye -el- ection ; asked for an . explanation rot gardirge the Artie of lande to the Southern Albeeta, Land Company for irrigation purposes; inquired respect- ing the position of Mr, W. T. R. Predton, and suggested that the crepe with which Liberal members in the enthusiasm of the moment decor- ated the dooro of the Con ervative, rooms in the Parliament b ddlngson the occasion of Mr, Hyman election a year and a ball ago now at the disposal of the Gave ent sup- porters. The Premler's Reply.' Sir ,•Wilfrid Laurier in :his reply spoke of the auspicious conditions under which Parliament Met, and congratulated the country an the en- •ormous expansion of trade and the prosperity whit,h followed. Replying to criticisms, he said the Govern- ment were 110,t flies 'upon the wheel, and while giving due weight to Mr. 'Courtney's warning, pointed out that the expenditure had been kept with- in the revenue. He contrasted the annual surpluses of the Ministers of ,-- the present day with the equally large deficits unher Mr. Foster's regime. Replying to the statements that the Government. had no large public works to show for the money, he pointed to the Transcontinental - Railway, the Welland Canal improvements, the Quebec bridge, the public buildings, the wharves, the piers, the light- houses, etc., all oefer the Dominion, arid asked whether the hypercritical Opposition expected the Government to construct the Egyptian pyramids. With reference to the situa.tion in London, he •said Mr. 14th:a had •thought it advisable to resign his seat in consequence of what had oc- curred in the London election. Not one word had been veld against Mr. Hyman in the Toronto investtgation ,• • the Premier wale proud to say that the friends of Mr. Hyman know that he has taken that matt& very much to Ileart, and after weeks of anxious consideration he came to the conclus- ion that his sense of honor required him to 'resign his seat. To the con- clusion which he thus reached I, for my part, . offered no exception.. thought he acted wisely in doing so. Mr. Hyrnan was not satisfied with that. As I informed the leader .of the Opposition some 'hours ago, Mr. Hyman hap also tendered his resig- nation as a member of the Cabinet. But I was not prepared to accept it. As he had been a victim and not an agent, and, could not be repreached with any dishonorable , act, -I felt that he was carrying the thing too far in asking to be relieved of the duties which he was performing, and pettorming to the great satisfaction of• friends, and I think also to the satisfaction of those who are not his political friends. Therefore I asked Mr. Hyman to reconsider his determination; the matter le before him, and I expect to -have an an- swer froM him.. before very long. 'In reference to the disclosures be- fore the cogrt in Toronto the Premier jocularly remarked that he did not know how it was the Tories coald always age devil's fire; it seemed congenial to them, and they could do it with impunity; but when a poor Grit undertook to deal with devil's fire he burned his fingers every time. Sir Wilfrid teok advantage of the op- portunity, hcswever, to impress upon his followere ,the truth of the old adage, honesty is the best policy. Ile condemned all electoral corruption, but WAS especially severe with -respect to ballot switching,, the law against which, he 'intimated, must be made severe enough to prevent anyone tampering with the ballots. In reference to the selection of fiIr. Scott instead of Mr. Ha,ultain for the Prernierehip of Saskatchewan, Sir Wilfrid', spoke „very frankly. He said that fcir many years Mr. Haul- tain had enjoyed the support and con- fidence of both political partiesi in the Northwest Territories and up to a certain point he had no other in- tention'or desre than that Mr. Haul- tain should be the Premier of one of the new Provinces to be formed as he expected that he would conttmie to reoeive the confidence of both polit- ical parties. But Mr. Haultain, for reasons 'best known to himself, bad seen fit to discard his cloak of in- dependence, and come out as a part- izan and bitterly opposed the Auton- omy bill. It was then that Sir Wil- frid eouneelled his own political friends that it Would not be wise for therm to continue their allegiance to Mr. Haultain as their leader. They took the same view and at a' properly constituted convention the Liberals of Saskatchewan discarded- Mr. Haul- tain and selected as their leader Mr. Scott, The Lieutenant Governor there- upon seleeted Mr. Scott as Premier of the Province. But he did this on his own motion and without any ad- vice or hint from Sir Wilfrid as he declared that no words or line had ever passed between hiniself and the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatche- wan on the oubJect. * ;With reference to Mr. Preston the Premier wed that he had been in the glare of public life for 26 years, and before becoming a Dovernment of- ficial had been an active politician, asking and giving no quarter. He had been attacked bitterly ever since leaving public life, but to hie cred- it it must; be said nothing had ever been proven againat him derogatory Lo his dignity, hie honesty, or hie bonor. Although as head of the Im- migration Office in London, his ad- ministration had not been _prudent in that ho had quarreled with his staff and his services to that ex- tent had net boon .me,timfactory and it WO deemed advisable to remove him'but he had boon a faithful pub. lie servant and the Government had 'availed themselves - of his imerviocs as commercial agent to Japan anI,China, where his groat ability, energy, and enthusiasm gave reason to expect he would be a groat success, Sir !Wilfrid conoluded by saying that tiW budget would bo delivered perhaps on Tuesday, eerteinly not la,Nr than Vriday, and if the GOv. crime:it had a reasonable measure of assistance and mb obstruction from the Opposition, as tile business was ready, he ventured to predict that Parliament might perhaps prorogue In the early spring, well, about the time the robins return home again, The debate was continued by lion, Mr, Voster, Mr, W, V, McLean, and other minor lights, The speech of eir, Foster was an unusually bitter one, and this, together with Mr, Borden's fighting oratioe, indicates a lively session, Thin eupposition in strengthened by the fact that an un- usual large number of returns and information was moved for by the Opposition during the early days of the oehaton. The Wrecked Steamer, The most terrible disaster in a quarter of a century of slapping on the _great lakee is the loss of the steamer J. li. Jones, of which there now seems no reasonable doubt The boat went down before the heavy weather on Georgian Bey lest week, in the same storm which wrecked the Resolute, with a loss of six# lives, -near Toronto harbor. With ;the J. H. Jones 29 persons have perished. A heavy sea was running when the steamer left Owen Sound on 'Thurs- day last. The boat was heavily load- ed, and at the last minute Captain Crawford accepted a deck cargo of coal oil in barrels. The boat was al- ready carrying a large 'quantity of bricks on the main deck. The indi- cations are that off Barrow Bay, or perhaps Lion's Head, on the east shore of the Bruce peninsula, the boat was submerged by the immense_ seas while trying to 'turn into Lion's Head, or that the cargo of coa,1 oir barrels was shifted, and crashed through the *shutters, making an op-. ening for the water to pour in, and batter the boat to pieces. The wreckage Is being found On .Christian Island, on the opposite side of the bay. None of the crew or pas- sengers of the 111 fated boat have 'yet been found, and there Is little hope that any of them will be. Had they succeeded in reaching land. on the bare shores or reeky islands of Georgian Bay, they would probably have ,dled of eXposure before thie. Search patties are covering all the shores, bUt as yet 'have not •report- ed finding any trace of eurvivore. A letter leas been received by the/ Mayor of Owen Sound from Rev. J. Wilson, Methodist missionary and teacher of Indian schools at the Christian Islands saying that the Indians there had recovered two boats bearing the name of the J. H. Jones, the lost vessel and that portions of the cabin and wheel house were strewn along the shore, alsothat two caps had been found, thus leav- ing no doubt as to the fate of the vessel and its Passengers and crew although no bodies had at that time drifted ashore. .• • The J. H. -Jones was, at one time oweed at Goderich but of late years was owned by the Crawford Tug Co. and Was a familiar figure in Owen Sound ‚harbor. Built in 1888 she was till a sturdy, stauneh little craft, and had stood seas that other larger craft fled from. She was 125 feet over all, 21 feet beam, end nine feet. draft. She was commaxyded by Capt. James Crawford, and carried a crew of eleven; Edward Lennox, mate; Charles Shaw, chief engineer '• Wes- ley Sadler, oecond engineee; R.Sim- monds and another called "Scotty." name unknown, firemen; George Mc- Ewen and Win. Ross, wheelmen; Jas. Tilly and Wan. Smith, deck hands; Frank Jackson, cook; and an assist- ant cook,. name unknown. In addit- ion to the crew' she had 16 or 17 pas- sengers on board.
