Ottawa, April B.—The debate In the /IMMO upon the. second reading of Mr. John Charlton's bill to amend the dominion elections act, 1900, yesterday afternoon was ante mated and at times decidedly breezy, elle object of the bill is to make it so perilous for those who seek to ea. gage in corrupt practices, by placing them at the mercy of those they seek to corrupt, that the practice will be etaraped out. The debate traveled sontewbat beyond the limits set by the rules, with the result that mu- tual recriminations were indulged in regarding the improper preictices al- leged to have been resorted to by both political parties to carry elm - tions in South Ontario, West Elgin, Brockville, West Huron and other constituencies. specie' committee Snagested.

He had no desire to question the fairness of the proposition made by the Govern- ment to the Opposition for a com- mittee, but it was evident that for the Covirnments to prepare the sche- dules end not hand them to the Op- position would do injury to his side of the Ilouse. Sir 1Vilfrid railed that for his part he could s ty he had received as many as twenty schedules from different constituencies asking that divisions should be made along cer- tain lines. Pe. haps Mr. Borden had received some also; if not, he was less favored than the Premier. The ground had been taken by the Government in regard to redistribu- tion not to he committed to any schedule beforehand. The Govern- ment's representath os would go in- to the committee perfectly freehand- ed, and it was desired willing to take up the details of overy constit- uency in Ctuieda. Inquiry Into Railway Wrecks. Ma Blair informed Mr. Clark that. the Government was starting an in- quiry to ascertain how many lives have been lost in railway accident during the past three years. Since Oct. 1, 1902, there had been fourteen separate and distinct railway acci- dents. One hundred and seventy-nine lives •had been lost, 88 ot them in collisions. The Government was con- sidering the advisability of appoint- ing some person to make a rigid en- quiry into the cause of these acci- dents, but nothing definite has been decided on. 1 To Stop corrupt or:tattoo. Mt. Charlton presented his bill to amend the Election Act for a second reading. He spoke in general terms of the prevalence of corruption throughout Canada in elections. One Party *as as bad as the other, but that many ridings were corruptible 'was well known. It was a, crime of the first magni- tude to allow electoral corruption to go on. All parties should unite to put an end to corrupt practices in elections, and Canada, would be bless- ed. If an electorate was for sale the very foundations of the stability of free institutions would be swept in away. in his mind, a man who te would purehaso votes would likely a take steps when elected to reimburse himself. Election corruption was an. spreading rapidly, and was manifest- Da leg itself in other circles till the best interests of the country Were, ielarine ed. hi taken trope the NeW York State law. Another section wale taken from the Penesylvania law: "AnY Pere= who, while a cendt. date ler the its of Conunone, either before or otter norninetive (lay, is guilty of brileery, fraud, or wilful vloiatien ot any elation laW, shall be forever disqualified from helding an lattice of trust or profit Under the Government of Canada. and erten bo disfranchised for the period of seven yeare next after his being tto found guilty." :rho ottatedon. Dr, Sproule believed the state should take pa itself the responeibil- itY to look into corraption in elec.. thine. ribe present method shut the door on guilt. The charges were simmered down to one by the judges, and the retalt was that the impree- sion was given the public that there was no extensive corruption. The iteiga slid this to shorten the trial. They were paid a specific sum for tach trial, whether long or short. The true story of corruption was not revealed because the petitioners were not financially able to carry on the investigation to the limit. Tho Crown should pay the court ex- penses for the petitioner. Be thought Mr. Charlton'a bill would not strike et the rOott of the matter, because It made no provision for publicity of corruption, Ile Haid that the system of politi- cal corruption that bad grown up was a disgrace, So widespread had it become that he thought he was histified in believing it was having an influence even on judges. This led him to instancethe enterference udge Morgan in the recent bye -el - eaten in North 1 ork, Mr. Cowan (South Essex) said he thought the virtuous lecture came with bad grace from Dr. Sproule, tor he was the man who had gone to South Ontario and called on the Conservatives of that riding to rally around "a self-confessed criminal in the person of hilliam Smith." Mr. W. 11. Bennett, as a friend, warmly resented the reference to Mr. Smith, who, he said, stood to -day endeared to the hearts of the people ef South Ontailo, irrespective of ; oil ics, as an honest and truthful mon at all events. Mr. Bennett re- viewed the circumstances of the elm - Lion contest between Hon John Dryden and Mr. Charles Calder. Mr, Ingram asked the Minister J us tice why he had not proceede against William Smith if he was criminal. :Mr. Cowan declared that the sta- tute of limitation prevented the pro- eecution of Smith. The "notorious Pritchard" had said that a warrant for his arrest had been taken from hien he one of the present NI.P.'s for / nmilton. Mr, Barber declared that if any man asserted that he had done such a thing that man told an absolute tal. ood. M. Borden, speaking generally said that in his opinion an officer Q the Government should be appoin ed, as was the Auditor -General, t look into every corrupt act in a election. This might be necessary i the future if corruption continues t spread. As a further remedy for the sys- tem of bribery prevalent, he would enact a law so that any man failing to vote without a good excuse should lose the right to vote for a iertain length of time, The bill was given second reading, and the House vent into committee of the whole on t. Mr. Clancy objected that no provi-. Bien was made to have the intimi dation of a voter, by saying the bat lot was not secret, made a misde- neanor. To this Mr. Fitzpatrick said the present act covered Mr. Clancy's oto jeetion. Mr. Bennett criticized the wording al' the bili, and declared the Minister of Justice should be responsible for all legislation brought in. Ther was anger that the present bill, if passe d, would bo a subject of laughter. Mr. Fitzpatrick said he was anx- ious. to have the bill discussed fully. His opinion of the hill was that the present act provided for all that the bill aimed at, and for many thing* the bill overlooked.

Mr. Fielding said that it had beeti s view that a committee of both sides of the House should try to worn out an understanding on the election law, so as to avoid many of the conditions now existing.

Mr. Scott continued the debate on the. grain weighers resolution, and Hon. Mr. Bernier replied, denying that he had been negligent, and pro- mising to have the grievance remov- ed. hit.

The endians of the far north go to the woods every winter with small rations, end if they eat the beaver they kill it would be bard to get any man who had ever faced starva- tion in the north to stand for their 00nel:eaten, wale of the pewee.. The dealers who •buy beaver skins employ various schemes for getting them to market. One fur buyer, for inst mite, bits a store where he keeps hie furs. When an Indian comes in with a bunch of beaver the dealer has these Wert to another house whose owner is eupposed to be in no way interested in furs. When there is a fairly large supply the dealtakes a run to Quebec or Montreal and arranges for a sale, The persons who take the furs have a third person in their confidence. The third person is not a fur buy- er. Consequently when a barrel of beaver skins labelled "Glassware" arrives, sent by a num who does not deal in furs, no one suspects the de- ception. The skins are sent to American markets, aro seen only by American customs inspectors, who have no great concern with the en- forcement of Canadian laws, arid the danger to the dealer is past. The great hope of the lawmakers was that the vast region to the north of the settlemets, where the Hudson Bay Company has control, would become a great reservoir froxn which the animals would scatter southward, for the company is sad to be strictly coracientious in its obedience to the law. The Delicsey of noicaele. The Indian considers the beaver the delicacy of delicacies, and has a special fondness tor the flesh ot the animal when it is cooked after the ancient method of singeing off the fur and roasting it whole in the skin. Even after the pelts became valuable he would resort to this method on special occasions. Wben the company would no Imager buy the skies the Indian, too far from civilization to deal . with any other fur buer, resorted to old-time customs, and there was feasting in the land, feasting on beaver roasted in the skin. This sort of thing could not last long, however, without attracting fer buyers from the outside world. The outside dealers began sending their men into the wooes. These found what was undoubtedly a snap, a chance to buy heaver with no com- petition. There were fortunes in the business and little risk, for the buy- ers were practically safe from any possible detection. This sort of thing was bad for the Hudson Bay Company, for when men penetrated its region for the pur- pose of beying beaver they bouglit ether furs as well, lots of -teem, and the company found itself often un- able to get furs enough from suc- cessful trappers to pay for the sup- plies which it always advances on credit before the reinter hunt. AN OLD MAN OF THE SEA. 41. Gentleman Who Wanted and Got a :es:clonal Position ot Oitaiva. When Mr. G. II. IL Cockburn, was member for Centre Toronto, he was a regular Old Man of the Sea, in the shape of one of the gentlemen, who annually seeks for a sessional posi- tion at the Ottawa House, says The News. For two years this man pur- sued the representative from Toron- to, but Mr, Cockburn's list was full, and the insistent gentleman was sent empty away. Finally, in the session of '95 or thereabout, the candidate scored, On the first day of the ses- sion, after the ceremonies attending the opening of Parliament, Mr. Cockburn met Speaker White hi the corridor of the House of Commons.
