For THE DOMINION PARLIAMENT..t The Dominion • Parlia,mentarians have made a good start and have got down to business more expeditiously than an person expected they -would. The deb te on the address instead of being et ved off till Monday, as usual, was proceeded with on Friday. The principal feature' of this was the• speeches of_the leaders. When the mever and seconder of the address, Mr. Pardee, of West Lambton, and • Mr; Demers, a St. Johns and Ibern nille, Quebec, got in their little say,' the gahntlet was picked up, by • Mr. Borden, the nea,der of the Opposition, who made a, real fighting speech from start to finish. Mr. Borden, so his friends say, never appeared to better advantage. He is developing rapidly as a leader and is grownag in the respect and admiration of his follow- ers, He was replied to' by the Pre- mier, who also was in• good 'form and gave a Roland for an Oliver every time. Mr. Borden criticized the Govern- ment and advocated the appenntrnent of a public prosecutor to enforce the election laws; emphasized the warn- ing by Mr,. J. M. Caurtney anainst increasing the -expenditure ; charged Mr. Fielding with having given pow- ers of attorney to •officials of the Dominion Government to represent nim at the polls in the recent bye -el- ection; asked for an explanation re- garding the sale of lands to the erta Land Company for d SUggestdd that the • Fine black curl, with good sable triraming,very neat, very warm, very stylish, and very season- able.

Replying to criticisms, 'he said the Govern- ment were not 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 1V1iniaters of, the present day with the equally large deficits under 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 w-harves, the• piers, the light- houses, etc., all over the Dominion, and • asked whether the hypercritical Oppesition expected the ' Government to construct the Egyptian pyramids. With reference to the situation in London, he -said Mr.' Illman hen thought it advisable to resign his seat in consequence of what had oc- curred in the .London election. Not one word bad been said against Mr. Hyman in the Toronto investhgation , the Premier Wag proud to say that they succeeded in reaching land. on the bare ehores or rocky islands of Lieutenant GoVernor a Saskatche- wan on the sabject. , With reference to' Mr. Preaton the Premier said that he had been in the glare of public life for 25 years, and before becoming a toVernment of- ficial had been an active poiitician, asking and giving no quarter. He bad been attacked bitterly ever since leaving 'public life, but tp his cred- it it must' be' said nothing had ever been proven againgt him derogatory to bis dignity, his honesty, or his thonor. Alth.ough an head of the Im- ini-,nration Office in London. his ad- ministration had ••not been prudent in that he had quarreled with his staff and his services to that ex- tent had not been satisfactory and it was deemed advisable to remove him, but be bad been a faithful pub- lic servant and the Government had availed themselyes of 1118 - services as commercial agent to Japan anchChina, where • his great ability, energy, and enthusiasm gave renson to expect he would be a great success. Sir Wilfrid concluded by saying that the buelget would be delivered perhapa on Tuesday, certainly not later than Friday, arid if the Gov- ernment had a reasonable measure ot assistance and nO obstrIaction from the Opposition., as the 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 wan continued by Hon. Mr. Foster, Mr. W. F. McLean, and other minor lights.• The speech of Mr. Foster was an unusually bitter one, and this, together_ with Mr. Borden's fighting oration, indicates a $5 00 to $‘15 00 3 00 to 40 00 00 to 20 00 15 00 2 00 to 10 00 3- 00 to 1p 00 40 00 MEV Men's and Boys' Furnishings. lively 13e0SiOnt This supposition. is Strengthened. by the fact that an un- usual large number of,- returns and information Wag moved for by the Oppoiltion during the early- days of the seskon.

The mofst terrible disaster in a quarter of a century of ehapping on the great lakee is the loss of the steamer J. H. Jones, of which there now ;seems no reaso.nable doubt The boat went down before the heavy weather .on Georgia,n Bay last week, in the same storm which wrecked the Resolute, with a loss of Elbe lives, near Toronto harbor. With the J. H. Jones 29 persons have perished. A heavy eea was running when the steamer left Owen Sound on 'Thurs- day lapt. The boat wan heavily load- ed, and at the last minute Captain Crawford accepted a deck cargo of coal oil la barrels. The boat was al- ready carrying a large iquantity of bricks on the main deck. The indi- cations are that off Barrow Bay, or perhaps Lion's Head, on the east ehore of the Bruce peninsula, the boat was submerged by the immense seas while trying to turn into Lion'a Head, or that the cargo of coal oil barrels was shifted, and crashed through the ehutters, making an op-. ening for the water -to pour in, and batter the boat to pieces. The wreckage is being fourid nn Christian Island, on ,the opposite side of the bay. None of the crew or pas- sengers of the ill fated boat have 'yet been found, and there is little hope that any of them will be. Had the friends of Mr. Hyman knave that he has taken that matter very much to .heart, and after weeks of anxious consideration he came to the conclus- ion that Ins serise of honor 'required him to resign his seat. To the con- clusion which he thus reached I, for .my part, offered no exception. 'I thought he acted wisely in doing so. Mr. Hyfnan *as not satisfied with that. As I informed the leader of the Oppositibn some 'hours ago, Mr. Hyman hap; *also tendered his resio- nation as a member of the Caibinet. But I was not prepared to accept it. As he bad been a victim and not an agent, and. could not be reproached 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 petiOrMing to the great satisfaction a friends, and I think also to the satisfaction of those who are not his political friends. Therefore I anked Mr. Hyman to reconsider his determination.; the matter is before him, and I expect to have an an- swer from hirn before very long. In eefereece to the disclosures be- fore the conrt in Toronto the Premier jocularly remarked that he did not know how it was the Tories could always ufge devil's fire; it seemed congenial to them, a'nd - 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 toon advantage of the op- portunity, however, to impress upon his followers the truth of the old adage, honesty is the best policy. He condemned all electoral corruption, but wag; 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.

Scott instead of Mr. Haultain for the Premiership, of Saskatchewan, Sir Wilfrid spoke very frankly. He said that for many years Mr. Haul- tain had enjoyed the support and con- fidence of both political parties 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 continue to receive the confidence of both polit- ical parties. But Mr. Haultain, for reasong best known to himself, -had seen fit to discard his cloak of in - dependance, and come out as •a part- izan and bitterly opposed the Auton- omy bill. It was then that Sir Wil- frid counselled his own political friends that it Would not be wise for them to continue their allegiance to Mr. Haultain as their leader. They took the same view and at a properly censtituted convention the Liberals of gaskatchewan discarded Mr. Haul- tain and selected as their leader Mr. Scott: The Lieutenant Qovernor there - selected Mr. Scott as Premier of the Province.
