He said the Governm were attempting to evade the question leaving the ODDS upon the Law Society. Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) said there was • idea of evading anything. The :Society had the power to deal with matter, and the House did not propos interfere with their prerogative. Mr. Wood (Hastings) thought that f the vabillating tactics displayed by h • gentlemen opposite that they had not moral courage to deal with the measure a .should be dealt with. Mr. Mowat said that it was to effee compromise that the Bill stood as it d He was prepared to have it made impe tive,but in deference to the opinion many hon. gentlemen opposite the mat was left in the hands of the Law Society. Mr. Balfour asked that the Bill rece its third reading this afternoon. Mr. Meredith objected, and repea his intention of opposing the Bill in ev aitage. AFrERNOON SESSION.

Mr. Gilmour moved the House in committee on his Bill respee Ling insuran companies, so as to make some slight amen ments. Mr. eredith moved in amendment • the third reading that the bill be referr back and the clause regarding rebates • struck out. He said it was an unwarrant interference with the rights of companies transact their own business. Mr. Gibson - defended the "rebate clause, and said that. it only applied amounts over five thousand dollars. Th amendment was lost by a' vote of 47 to 2 On this division Mr. Kerns voted with th Government. Mr. Meredith then moved in amendmen that the bill be referred back to strike ou the clauses respecting the registration agents. This motion was lost by a vote o 30 to 46. Mr. Snider voted with the Oppo sition in this division. Mr. Meredith then moved in amendmen that the bill be referred back to insert clause to the effect that all benevolent com panies doing business at the time of th • Epassing of the Act with a bona fide mem ership of 25Q be allowed to register. Thi was lost on a division of 29 to 47. Mr. Kerns moved in amendment that th fee charged to insurance companies workin under the Dominion Act be $25 instead o • $100.

Mr. Clarke moved the third reading of a bill to incorporate the Toronto Railway Company and to confirm an agreement be tween the corporation of the city of Toronto and George W. Kiely, Wm. McKenzie, Henry Azariah Everett, and Chauncey C. Woodworth. Mr. Wood (Flastings) moved in amend- ment, that notwithstanding anything in the Act, no cars shall run on the Lord's day and nothing contained in the bill shall affect the authorizing hereafter of the cars on the Lord's day. Mr. Clarke thought the citizens of To- ronto should be the best judges of the city's needs. The amendment wa then put. The vote was one o .the most interesting of the session. The amendinenrwas rried by the following division : • YEAS—Messrs. Allan, Balfour, • Barr (1)11 ferin), Bishop. Bush. Caldwell, Chisholin, Cle- land, Deck, Davis, Dryden, Ferguson, Gibson (Huron), Glendinning, Godwin, Guthrie, Har- court, Hudson, Kerns, Kirkwood; Lockhart, McCleary, McKay (Vict, ria), McKechnie, Mack, Marter, Weacham, Miscampbell, Moore, Mowat, O'Connor, Paton, Rayside, Rorke, Ross, Snider, Stratton.

Mr. Tait said he voted against Sunday cars, but he wanted the citizens to say whether they wanted them to run or not. Mr. Meredith moved in amendment to Mr. Wood's amendment that notwithstand- ing this the -provisions of the Lord's Day - Act apply. Mr. Mowat, in committee asked Mr. Meredith to amend his amendment so as to say that even the provisions of the Lord's Day Act shall not apply until after a vote of the people has been taken. This was agreed to. Mr. Clarke amended the Blake clauses regarding the taking over of the property so as to -read : "In arriving at such value the arbitrators are to consider .and award only the value of the said several particu- lars to .the city at the time of the arbitra- tion, having regard to the requirements of a railway of the best kind and system then in operation and applicable to the said city." The bill was then read a third time. The House then went into committee on Mr. Harcourt's Liquor Bill. A long, ramb- ling discussion'took place in the committee on the five -gallon clause. Mr. Clarke said that the Bill would mean a loss to one brewer of his acquaintance of $2,000. His five -gallon caeks would be no use to him. Mr. Cleland said that the difficulty was that brewers' agents were in the habit of selling to private individuals and ruining tbe trade of 'the retail dealers. This was a hardship that should not be tolerated. Brewers should sell to the trade alone. Finally it was decided to let this clause and the Bill stand till to -morrow, so as to allow of some amendments. Mr. Whitney wished to draw the atten- tion of the House to what he considered a matter in the natufe of a privilege. In view of the exception,a1 legislation recently passed at the instance of his hon. friend from Essex he wished to ask the Attorney - General whether it was the intention of the, Government during the next session of the House to employ young 'women as pages. In view of the late legialation he suggested that it would be at highly proper and commenda- ble course. (Laughter.) • Mr. Mowat congratulated the hon. gentle- man on the enormous progress he had made as judged by the extent of his recommenda- tion. (Laughter.) He had not thought of making such change as the hon. gentleman had proposed, and inasmuch as he evidently voiced his hon. leader's opinions, he would confer with his colleagues about the matter during the recess Of the House. (Laughter.) Mr. Harcourt moved the House again into committee on, a bill eto amend the Liquor •License Act.' A number of amendments were made, and the bill was carried and read a third time. • Mr. Hardy moved that full sessional allowances be paid to Messrs. Fraser, Bron- son, Porter and Smith (York), 'absent for part a the session through ill -health. The motion was carried. • Mr. Whitney moved that full sessional allowances be paid to Messrs. Smith (Fron- tenac), Miscamp t.11, and the widow of II. E. Clarke. The motion was carried. - Mr. Harcourt moved the House into committee on a bill providing there shall be granted out of the consolidated revenue fund to the Port Arthur, Duluth & Western Railway Company: 1. A cash subsidy of $3,000 per mile, and not exceeding in the whole the sum of $21,- 000, for the construction of seven miles of said railway from a point at, or near the east end of Guoflint Lake to a point at or near Magnetic Lake, to complete' the build- ing of said railway, and 2. A cash subsidy (02,000 per mile, and not exceeding in the whole $7,000, for the construction of three and one-half miles, of that portion of said railway known as the Kakabeka branch, extending from a point at or near the junction of the said railway with the Kaministiquia River to a point at or near Kakabaka Falls. AFTERNOON SESSION. Mr. Speaker took the chair at 3 o'clock. The House went into committee on the Act respecting the election of members to the Legislative Assembly, and several amendments were offered. The bill was offered for its third read- ing. Mr. Meredith offered the following amendment: " That every person having any contract with the Government for the performance of any work, the doing of any- thing, or the furnishing of any goods or materials, and having or expecting to have any claim or demand against the Govern- ment by reason of such contract, and every person having a liquor license who, either directly or indirectly, by himself or by any other person on his behalf, subscribes, pro- motes gives, or promises to give any money, or other valuable consideration for the pur- pose of promoting the election of any candi date or of any member, • class or party of candidates to the Legislative Assehibly, or with the intent in any way of influencing or affecting the result of any such election, and every person who receives such money or valuable consideration or the promise thereof, is guilty of a corrupt practice." ' Mr. Hardy said if the hon. gentleman would undertake to procure such an amend- ment to the Dominion Election Act, and would include io it railway contractors, brewers, railway eompanies and manufac- turers, this House would have noobjection to accepting his amendment. Mr. Whitney said the Dominion had made such a provision, and he read a clause from a Dominion statute to that effect. The motion was then put and lost on a division, 29 voting yea nncl 46 nay. Mr. Mowat said that the motion had been sprung on the House, hut he would consider it and introdoce, such legislation •I tru next session. The Dominion Act read b psssea. the hon. gentleman did not apply to .elec• 1111 Play tions. It was only a part of the coisimon j aw. It was only a corrupt practice under i use of I. their p tories he Election Act d Doininion Election Act. The Act onoted Mr. Meredith said that he thought the Mr. Wood said in moving the adoption This wes lost on the same division—Yeas ollicirthern Nisie9.-nr•tise ellinies • . COMVIttdn's . ' 1 cord -, ,-; his clause that he did not want the cote- 29, nays 50. to assis Mr. Hardy moved the first reading of a Bill exempting from the operations of the anti -bonus law those works already under way. The Bill was immediately passed through its several stages and read a third time. Mr. Harcourt moved the House into com- mittee of supply. Mr. Meredith meved in amendment that the motion be not carried, and the following aubstituted : "That the vote of $15,500 for the erection of extensions to the new buildings at the Central Prison, and $5,000 for machinery for the same, being asked for without a vote of the -House or any other legal warrant for the Government proceed- ing with the works, was subversive of the principle of Parliamentary control of public expenditure." Mr. Gibson (Hamilton) said the Govern- ernment were justified in taking the respon- sibility of acting in an emergency such as was presented. The amendment was lost on division. Mr. Ross moved the third reading of a Bill to empower the University of Toronto to deal with certain Upper Canada College lands. Mr. Harcourt moved the House into con- currenee on the report of the committee upon the supplementary estimates. •1118•Psont- Mr. Clancy moved in amendment to the item of the Provincial Treasurer's depart- ment, that the salary of the Provincial License Inspector be reduced by $350,to the former figure of $1,400 per annum,the salary of the previous incumbent. The amendment was lost on division. When it came to the item granting money towards the building of an asylum atBrock- vile, Mr. Kerns moved in amendment that the amount be not concurred in. The amend- ment was lost by a vote of'26 to 49. On this division Mr. Harty voted against the Gov,- ernment and Mr. Preston and Mr. Mc- Lenaghan voted for the Government. Mr. Mowat said that as they were all in a joyous mood he desired to introduce 4 resolution which would bring joy to many hearts. He referred to grants to the rail- ways, and said that he would introduce a resolution granting aid to the Prescott and Ottawa railway of $2,000 per mile and not to amount to more than $100,000 in all. He moved the House into Committee of the Whole en the resolution. Mr. Meredith said he concurred in the resolution from his side of the House. He said that it was a humiliating commentary upon party, government to find tinet the exigencies of party alone governed the intro- duction of the motion and not the justice of the demand. Mr. Balfour entered his solemn protest against the resolution as it was an injustice to his constituency. 'There was no time for him to introduce a resolution embodying his views, but be wanted to put himself on record on the matter. Mr. Gibson (Huron) said there was not the slightest similarity between' the cases of Essex and Prescott. . - • The resolution was passed without a division. Mr. Mowat Paid that owing to the print- ing being behind the House could not be prorogued till Thursday at 3 o'clock. The members stood Up and sang "God Save the Queen," and the House adjourned at 7.40 p. in. • TORONTO, April 27.—. --The Second session of .the Seventh Parliament Of the Ontario Legislative .Assenably was prorogued this afternoon at 3 o'cloek by His Honor Chief Justice Hagerty.

S. teacher, pastor and Bible student shoulj secure one of Principal Austin's Models of Palestine, made from maps and surveys of the Palestine Explora- tion Fund, and showing the mountains, valleys, lakes, seas and intervening country, in proportionate. elevation or depression. This model, with a half hour's study, will give a clearer idea of Palestine than can be obtained from books and maps in a year. Its impressions are more vivid and lasting. It awakens and sustains interest in Sunday school teaching, and furnishes many illus- trations of the truthfulness of Scripture, confirming all the references to "up" and. "down" in the Bible, and making Holy Land what Renatt calls a "Fifth Gospel.'' This model has received the highest com- mendations from such men as Bishop Vin- cent, Hon. (leo. Ross, LL. D., Bishop Baldwin, Dr. Caven and the leading papers. Sir Wm. Dawson, of McGill University, highly commends it, and has ordered two of the largest size. Indications point to an immense sale of this valuable invention. One should be in every Christian home and school. egg' No object etin be introduced into the home circle that will do more to ex- cite interest in Bible study. It is, as a leading Buffalo paper declares, "What the Sunday school world has been waiting for." Live agents can sell one in nearly every home, Territory is being rapidly taken up.
