whether married or sinple.
It being three o’clock in the morn

ation, lasting. 81 hours, Sir John
expressed his willingness to adjourn
if the Opposition would allow the
Committee to divide on Mr. Town-«

relating to female suffrage, This, was
agreed to, and the amendment was

Sir John Macdonald announced
that in view of last night’s vote all

• Mr, Mills said the Government
should certainly give woman sutL
'rage to Ontario, even though- -the

for Quebec.
Sir John Mncdopahl said that
gentlemen opposite, by Iftjfiberately
giving up their own opinions and
those expnessed by their leader in
opposition to-the principle, thought
to gain a great political advantage
over him, but he was not going to
fall into their trap—-(hear, hear)—
and now, as .theJLlouse had express

Sir R. Cartwright was of opinion
that .woman suffrage could be given
Jn Ontario, though not in. Quebec.

Cladstone Grand*THE FENIANS.
How They will Help Riel, and
Seize British Columbia,
a Buffalo Sewi, April 37.
For weeka paB( rumors have been
received from different cities
throughout the country of the increa
sed activity among the Fenian broth
erhood, or, as it ib more frequently
called now, the Irifih revolutionary
army. It lias been stated that they
are organizing in Detroit, Kansas
City,San Francisco and other points,.
.and are arranging to take advantage
of war between Engtand and Russia
bhould one break out. The present
revolt of Riel and the half-breeds in.
the Northwest is understood to come
■also within their consideration of a
plan of action. It is certain thgt
•there rs a strong feeling of sympathy
for Riel among- Irish,Americans,
which finds expression in the editor
ial utterances of such a well-known
paper as the Catholic Union and .
other representative ’ publications.
Some weeks before the revolt broke
out the Evening News published ex
clusively an account o£.a meeting ot
a local branch of the I. R. A. at
which it Wasclaimed that 30,000 men
could be concentrated at a given
point and that mo’ney and ammunit
ion -were not wanting.” The reports
of similar meetings iy different cities
Tollowing ‘soon after, and the riiin-
ored activity of the Fenians,; .now
give sufficient confirmatory proof to
convince those" who were skeptical
and dispose^ to ridicule the-ideft to
admit that' where there is. so much
smoke there cannot be but some
fire. ‘ '
When Hon. Cornelius Donohue,
/who was actively engaged in the
Fenian raid.and is known to be de-,
cidely interested in the cause of Ire
land now, was aske-l in regard to
. this matter he said: , . • ■
“I am glad to know that people
’.pretend to doubt . that there is any-,
thing going on, Because the Fen-,
iaus have done nothing openly fora
—good- many yegrs it needn’t be sup
posed that the organizarfUiFis^qead.'
It has simply been biding, its time
and waiting-for .
• '""a GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO STRIKE,,
and strike successfully,. We don’t-
want a.ny nibr'e failures,. . The men
are organizing everywhere, and
when .the time conies they-.*Will be
officered by tried soldiers, who had
experience iiythe la.te war, many of
whom have ..already volunteered
' tfrttir services.”' . " ■’ ...
“Has all this any connection .with
Riel’s, revolt-?” ■' ‘ ‘ -
“I have.no plans to disclose, but-
- -tffi-s_r cb-elU-orrcrHEvid^s-ian^trtire-thing- ■
of a day. Plans-for it were going on-
a Ipng time before, and you will re
member that it broke out soon after
the Irish revolutionary., army held
meetings in.cities ail over the coun
- try. Riel has in'ofe-ujen’ with him
’ than these Can.adia.us..ha.v.e, any..idea.,
of, and they will find that, they have
got a hard customer to deal with.
‘ Ther.e are men with .’ him froth 'this
side now who understand military?
operations, and will, give him the
. benefit of their advice.„rHe_kn.Q,wa
every inch of the country, and the
• Canadian troops know nothing of it.
'Besides' they, haven’t a single man
who knows'anything.about practical
campaigning. Riel is just'leading..
these men on, and the first f iling you
know he will get in their rear And
cut them off from their supplies.”
‘You’think.. tbeii, that lie will get
the best of- them ?’
‘Yes I do, before they,get through
with it. .There is a large society in
LoWerUajjAila which is all organized
~and™-i n—fu lU-ay-m pa-th-y ■ wi th-~R-iel-.-
There is, very little loyalty to Eng
land in that.part of.Canada. Besid
es that, "’you’ will find that.there are
tegiments already at the front’ which
General Middleton can’t "depend
upon.-, .. . ■ . ' .

have a finger in this V
‘Tli'ey would be.fools • to do any*
thing, before the proper time comes.

far easier than the. Canadian govern-

jsirablb, -we*can;throw meri across tire

samp time (he Canadians could be
kept pretty busy by attacks made lit
different points. It'woulfi be easy
fot- us;-to get several .thousand men
thetift and then mftlte things®^
terestin^*at otliqr places, too.
• ‘What would you gain by'getting
possession of that country?" ’ ;
T have no information to give as
to what will be decided on, but I esq
see what might*very, likely .be the
plan of operations. It Russia goes
to war with England she’ would at
tack British Columbia,,’ Shelias ri
flfet in the North Pacific and Eng
land hasn’t arry. Now in that case
the Fenians could gather to Riel’s
assistance,’so as to prevent the Can
adian government from helping Brit
ish Columbia, march '.across the
country to the pass in the Rocky
Mountains at. Monut Hooker, go
through and take possession of the
country. It would be ft base from
“winch to fit our privateers and ar
range for expeditions. Russia would
^readily .welcome the Irish as allies.’
•Have (be Fenians aver been in
communication with Riel before?'
‘Well, I should say so; when he
revolted before some 800 stands of
arm# were shipped to him from ill's
city, I know that a portion of them,,
though, ware seized at Pembina.
He had with him at that time an
Irishman named Donohue, who act
ed as his chief military adviser. Af*
forward Donohn.e was at my hpnsn
in this city for a couple of weeks or
more. ’ Riel gave inrihen on protnis-.

Ottawa April 28,
On the House of Commons resolv
ing itself, to-day, into committee on
the bill respecting the electoral fran
chise, on the intrepretation clause :—
Mr. Townsend moved that the
words giving the suffrage to unmar
ried females or widows holding prop
erty be struej^out.
Sir John Macdonald “Stated that
personally he was convinced of-the
justice of giving women duly'qualified
the right to exercise the franchise. •
O hers- in other countries held ,the
same viqw, and he had hoped that
Canada would be the first to* give
■woman the position to which she was
entitled and which she would eventu
ally obtain. .It-was duly a question
.of time when women would have the
right to vote all over the civilized
world. In England the principle had
made marvellous progress. By slow
degrees they had been allowed to be
come owners of their own property.
They were now protected in all their ’
rights, not only againsb all the world,
but against their own husband^. They
hafl,moreover,obtained a quasi politic
al position on tlie.school boards and iu
vestries. They had, in many direc
tions, advanced equally with man-;
they had proved themselves so well'
deserving of the franchises conferred
upon them that no’one proposes to-
'day to deprive them of the advan
tages wliicli, after centuries o'f denial,
they had obtained, -It was generally
understood that the present Premier
of England was in favor . of. female
franchise, though he did not allow it
to be imported into his representation
bill for fear that it might imperil the
bill as a whole. Mr.'Gladstone stat-
ed that that question hadia,be judged,
on its own. merits and "as a. separate*
•question. Tlie proposal to introduce
the subject into the bill was, there-,
fore, defeated by a Jarge majority,
Bub there AVas a separate motion-on
the-s'ilbicct andbfic proposal was then '
def catedzby the small majority of six'-
teen. The argument had been offer-.
"'6fl'’tli’a’trf6''’be'Tpgicar.th& francliise’ip ’
giyen’to unmarried wenien inust also
be given to niarriqi.l- -women.. P>nt_.
the-franchise was not a matter of.-
logic, it was a matter of expediency,
and’it did not at all follow that be
cause the House went a certain length
it would have to go further. Then it
was said that if women' be given the
franchise they-must also be rendered
eligible to occupy seats in Parliament.
This .did not? i'bllow. \ Already con
tractors and civil servants,' though
entitled to vote; were made ineligible
to occupy seats in tlie Ho'usof. Fur flier,
in 'England no clergyman of.th’e eatable
islied . church could’sib in the Gom-
inons though he was entitled to
‘exercise'The franchise. Tlie.logical
argument; tliereiore, did not amount
to anything. Another argument'-was
that to give uniarried -ladies the right ’
to vote was an .injustice to married i
■ladies," who were not. sft_£Lualjfied..l
But if there was injustice.in excluding
some of the ladies from the franchise
there was’ injustice in excluding all,
and if certain-ladies wcro admitted,
no~greater.injustice was done to- these?
wlib4ye.re^already*"6mitteL .and- who_
would remain -omitted jf those newly
enfranchised had also-continued dis
franchised-. He was iiersonally; in
favor of giving the suffrage to ladies,
both married and“uinH®FFied, but ho
’must confess tliat both do not. stand
on the same footing. . This woman
who had no husband’and owned pro-:.,
party, took upon herself the"respon.
sibility of. ft man, and therefore should
vote,. Moreover, -of laws • the most
■ important wore those which were for
the protection- of property, -and it did
.seem that if a woman held property
she sholild have a.yoice in its protec*
tidn.. Rocently he met a lady of.,
considerable wealth in England. She.
said, “I haye no vote, but my butlor
has ; rny coachman has, and at least
fifty of my servants have.” She
thought it was tfttber an injustiftgjtog^

which his orders were carried out, I
fancy .that, to some extent;- lie u.n-
coirscibusly mesmerized nine out of

upon me their effect was to raise
a,wild longing, a desperate-desire
to do bomechihg, anything, at his
bidding. .Jt was no’t !an uiipleasant

that any, evil thought or suspicion-

while so many deriving their moans-
from het should be her superiors in
that regard.a lb was argued against
giying married, women the franchise
that it might produce family discord.
This was tho weightiest argument
adduced, but to-day women had the
right to manage their own property,
to invest their own money, to spend
their own money or to waste their own
money without the interference of
their husbands, and no one had pro
posed, nor was it likely that anyone
would. prqpose,that this had produced
family discord, and that the -right
should bo taken from the women.
Besidor^ already, husband and wife

tical and teligotis view, t. Ju .England
Christians and Jews married, and no
such domestic discord .had been pro
duced as to warrant tho assumption
that should husband and wife vote on
opposite sidos family disturbances
would ensue. He was of tho same
opinion as O’Connell, that you hliould
'never1 refuse a step in advance. He
thought the conferring of tho franchise
■upon unmarried women and widows
' having property qualifications was a
step in advance. lie Would bo con-

England’s possession of Khartoum
