diaenmaed between Mr. Shambeseas7
and the Government last night. anti
an active oases= In now tette on
against the bill In the innate.
The Railway Committee passed the
Senate bill geeing an extension of
time to the eonplettn of the ease
adieu Northern Railway. Mr. Aylen,
on beba11 d the Edmonton and Sas-
katchewan
askatchewan Railway Company, a new
line, asked that if their line is built
firs( from Prince Albert to Edmon-
ton the Northern Company
should he compelled to row over its
lime and not build a new line be-
tween these poi.(. Mr. Dawson of
Hodson Bay send gsakatebewan Rtail-
wa y, asked that the Northern Com-
pany should not be given authority
to build from CeurekilJ, the p
termians ce the 8., B. and 8 line. Hos►-
ever, wither request was seceded to
and the bill wan reported.
The Railway regulations Fill was
up .gala, and a clause wan
incorporated regarding the regulat'on
of telegraph and telephone harts. An•
ether clams Incorporated In a gen
eral provision the uanal regulatlo:is
respecting the restrnctlon and °per
at!on of bridges. A further provision
gave additional protection to rail-
ways In the Interest of public) safety.
It provided a penalty not exceeding
$50 or two months' Imprisonment for
any Injury to notices or other rail-
way property. The same penalty I.
provided for anyone who enters upon
a train with Intent frawrhtlently eo
be carried without paying fare. A
new provides was one giving the
Railway Committee of the Privy
Counc'l authority to require the erec-
tion of a statim at any pole1 k
deemed proper. Mr. Blair argued that
experience showed the d..lrablllty of
the provision to order that railways
might not lm, allowed to hold up
towns by loenting motion, too far
away from them. The final oleuse of
the hill gave Celle Raliwey Committee
power to frame ruts t0 applyr to all
railways In Ute Dominlen. le was
the result of complaint/ of railway
employee. There were many reasons
why there /honk( be uniformity with
regard 10 operating rales. Uniform-
ity would afford additional protec-
tion In the committee of railway/, and
would do away with the difficulty of
employee' of ace getting employment
on another.
