The only notable feature in the re-
ports from the New York commercial
agencies is the marked increase in the
number of failures for the past three
months. The accepted explanation is
that the majority of these are "politi-
cal" failures, but this explanation does
not add anything to the commercial
stability of the United States. The
business features of the week has been
the steady advance in wheat. Cotton
has weakened. and the demand now for
cotton goods is of the strictest necessi-
tous kind. Prospects are said to be
good, but this Ls usual, only the mater-
ialization does not always occur. The
truth is that trade all over the United
States is in the worst possible state,
and for obvious reasons we cannot ex-
pect any marked improvement until
the spring of next year. There are,
and will bo, fluctuations, of course, but
the material condition of trade will
not alter for some months,

THE ALLAN MAIL CONTRACT.
Sir Richard Cartwright, replying to
a question by Mr. Foster, said that
the last contract with the Allan Stearn -
ship Company for carrying mails be-
tween Canada and Great Britain was
given on December 16th, 1891. If ex-
tended until December 24, 1892, with a
proviso that the Government should
have the right to continue the opera-
tion of the contract for a further period
not exceeding one year. There was
no clause in the contract requiring
the Government to give notice to the
company of the expiry of the ser-
vice. But in view of the fact that the
contract had been continued from
year to year for many years, the Gov-
ernment were of the opinion that no-.
tice to terminate the arrangement
should have been given, and that un-
der all circum stances the company
was untitled to the contxaot for carry-
ing the mails to the close of the sea-
son of 1897, and no longer. Renewals
had since been made by orders -in -
Council. The dates of the orders -in -
Council were May 17, 1893, authorizing
the renewal for one year from Decem-
ber 24, 1893; June 12, 1894, authorizing
further extension until the close of
navigation on the St. Lawrence in
1895, September 7, 1895. Tho last re-
newal was made for one year from the
close of navigation in 1895, or until
November 25, 1896.
THE NEW TRANSLATORS.
Mr. Choquette moved the adoption
of the report of the Debates Commit-
tee.
DIr. Foster asked whether this was
the report which recommended the ap-
pointment of another set of translators.
i\Ir. Choquette replied in the affirma-
tive.
The report was then adopted.
SENATOR SANFORD'S PROTEST.
Mr. Borden read a telegram he had
receivedhiasem not Senator
thaSanford, E stating San-
ford
and Company had a monopoly of
the scarlet serge manufactured at the
Sherbrooke mills.
THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
Mr. Casgrain said --I would like to
know what the prospects are of a
settlement of the' Manitoba school
question whether negotiations are ac-
tually proceeding, and whether any
correspondence is still being carried on
between the Government and the Gov-
ernment of the 'Province of Manitoba.
Sir Richard Cartwright -I would
just reply to my hon. friend, as was
stated by the Premier on more than
one occasion, there is every reasonable
prospect of this matter being amicably
settled. Beyond that at present I
have no information to give.
IN SUPPLY.
The House then went into Committee
of Supply.
On the item of $3,500 to complete the
electric light station on the Lachine
canal.
Mr. Reid. urged the Government to
place electric hghts on the Galops ca-
nal.
Mr. Blair replied that he could not
give any promise until he had looked
into the matter, and ascertained whe-
ther or not the proposition was a rea-
sonable one.
The item passed -
TRENT CANAL.
The item of $500 for the construc-
tion of a fishway on the Trent canal at
Lindsay, was passed.
COLLINGWOOD IMPROVEMENTS.
On an item of $20,000 for the im-
provement of Collingwood 'harbour,
1Vir. Bennett asked whether the
amount was a portion of the work
now in contemplation there, and which
Mr. Tarte had intimated would cost
1200,000, and whether contracts for
$200,000 worth of work had been given.
Mr. Tarte replied that the $20,000
was to begin the work necessary in
the harbour. Tenders had been ask-
ed for by the late Government, and
two had been received. When he took
office, however, he had thought best
to send back the cheques, and it was
the intention of the department to
have a new 'survey made before new
tenders were called for.
• MR TARTE'S DISMISSALS.
On the vote of $12,252 for public
buildings, Ottawa, including ventila-
tion and lighting, repairs, materials,
furniture, etc.
Mr. Tarte in reply to Mr. Sproule,
said a portion of the money was to
pay a month's wages to some 75 men
whose services had been dispensed with,
last year's appropriation for salaries
having become exhausted.
MILITIA VOTE.
On the militia vote
Mr. Britton urged; the need of repair-
ing the fortifications at Kingston, and
cautioned the Government against ad-
opting a penny wise and pound foolish
policy. Either the works were worth
keeping up or they were not. It would
only, have required a few hundred dol-
Iars had the repairs been undertaken
some years ago, but now an -expendi-
ture
expendit,ure of thousands were needed, The
itkpartment of 'Militia ought to act
without further �
r her delay.
Mr. Borden said that to repair the
fortifications of Quebec and Kingston
would require the expenditure of a very
considerable amount of money, which
he was not prepared to recommend, ' He
intended at the pons earliest passible kyle mom-
ent to visit both cities, in order to look
into the subject, accompanied by an
expert, with a view, if possible, of tak-
ing
ak-
g some action at the next session of
Parliament. It was impossible, ow-
ing to the tremendous expenditure in
connection with the rearming of the
militia this year, to ask for a large
amount at the present session for the
purpose to which the attention of the
House had been drawn.
BURLINGTON CHANNEL.
On the item of $10,000 for repairs of
piers in Burlington channel
Mr. Wood, of Hamilton urged that"
TIMES
the channel be deepened to the same
depth as the Weida -aid canal, so es
to allow vessels carrying ore for the
Hamilton smelting works to pass
through.
Mr. Tarte promised to take the mat-
ter into consideration.
WORT DOVER HARBOUR.
Mr, Tisdale regretted to see that no
provision had, been so far made in the
estimates for improvements in Port
Dover harbour, and expressed the
hope that in 'the additional ;supple
mentaries yet to be brought down some
money would be voted for this pur-
pose.
Mr. Tarte said that he could not
hold out any hope of an estimate at
the .present session, but added that he
would give his !best consideration to
the matter during recess.. He promis-
ed Mly rinto, Ttisdaa+ethe wthaholet hequwouesldtion. go care -
COST OF PENITENTIARIES.
On the item of $3,000 for commission-
ers for investigating the affairs of the
penitentiaries of Canada,
explanation of the proposed expends-
turaSir. C. Hibbert Tupper asked for an
Fitzpatrick made a statement
which, he maintained, showed the need
for an investigation. He said there
were fivepenitentiaries and a goal situ-
ated at Regina under the control of
the department. The cost of adminis-
tration of these institutions had grown
in three years from $359,000 to $481,000
last year, or an increase of $150,000.
The per diem expenditure was:--St-
Vincent de Paul, 68 cents; Kingston,
89 cents; Manitoba, $1.26; British Col-
umbia, $1.15. He was at a loss to un-
der -stand how the figures could vary
in that way when it was remembered
that in the Central prison, Toronto, the
per: diem expenditure was only 27 cents
a day,
autine,CATTLE QUARANTINE.
On the item of 512,900 for cattle gear -
Mr. Fisher, replying to Mr. McMul-
len, said the arrangement for ship-
ping Canadian cattle front Boston had
been temporarily suspended by the
United States, owing to the non -erec-
tion of cattle yards at Richmond.
CANAL CONSTRUCTION.
On the item of $100,000 for the deep-
ening, widening, and straightening, of
the north channel,
£dr. Reid urged that there should be
no delay in proceeding with the work,
as
waterthere, was great anxiety among the
marine men, owing to the lowness of
Mr. Blair replied that the work would
be commenced immediately.
The item passed.
TR'E ST. LOUIS CASE.
On the item of $76,500 to pay the
ada in the case of St. Louis against the
Crojwudgmen, nt of the Supreme Court of Can -
Mr. Bergeron, asked if it was the
intention of the Government to pro-
ceed with their case against Mr. St.
Louis, in view of the judgment obtain-
ed by the latter against the Crown.
Mr. Blair replied in the affirmative.
The item passed.
COLD STORAGE.
Mr. Fisher explained an item of $20,-
000 to provide for cold storage for farm
and dairy products. His scheme in-
cludes the payment of small bonuses to
creameries that would provide cold
storage besides arrangements on rail-
ways and ocean steamers.
THE INTERPROVINCIAL BRIDGE.
On an item of $3,600 for bridges and
whoa:ves in Ontario,
Mr. Montague asked whether the
Government Intended to bring. down
any sum for the interprovincial bridge,
to which he understood the Premier
had the other day promised assistance.
Mr. Tarte —I ani not in a position to
answer my hon. friend. This ma pret-
ty broad question, and does not come
within the scupe of this estimate.
AN ADDITIONAL SERVICE.
On an item of $15,000 additional for
steam service between St. John and
Halifax and London, pending negotia-
tions respecting the fast line,
Sir Richard Cartwright explained
that it was the intention in the future
to have in the summer months a ser-
vice between St. John, Halifax and
London, as hitherto, and in the winter
direct services from St. John to Lon-
don, and from Halifax to London.
HUDSON'S BAY ROUTE.
On an item of $35,000 for expenses
of an expedition by water to Hud-
son's bay,
Mr. Davies explained that the vote
was not designed to cover the entire
cost of the expedition. If this matter
was to be done now, it must be done
thoroughly, so as to leave no room
for doubt as to the result. There was
much work to be done, and all he
could Ask now was this amount to
make preliminary preparations.
LI-HUNG-CHANG'S TRIP.
On the item of $3,000 for the trans-
portation expenses of Li -Hung -Chang
and his suite through Canada, Mr.
Fielding explained, in connection with
the item, that the remainder of the
expenses in connection with the trip
would be borne by the Canadian Paci-
fic railway. This item covered trans-
portation and maintenance during the
trip.
T'A'1+', CHIEF ARCHITECT.
Mr. Montague asked if it was -true
that it had been decided to superan-
nuate Mr. Fuller, chief architect, and
if so, what reason had led to the de-
cision.
Mr. Tarte replied that he had made
up his mind that Mr. Fuller could not
be retained very much longer in the
service of the department. He had
talked the :natter over with the chief
architect, who agreed that the time
had come when he ought to be super-
annuated. Mr. Fuller was 73 years old,
and although he had been a most valu-
able officer, his memory was now fail-
ing.
MR. PERLEY'S CASE.
Mr. McNeill asked if it was not pos-
sible to find employment for Mr. Per -
ley, the former chief engineer of the
department, with whom a good deal
of sympathy was felt.
Mr. Tarte replied that Mr. Perley
was employed drawing up reports at
a salary of $215 a month. Ge
thought
he could not consistently keep the gen-
bleman any longer in the service of the
Public Works Department.
The item passed.
CUSTOMS EXPERTS.
Mr. Penny asked if any decision had
been come to in the matter of appoint-
ing a Board of Customs Experts.
Mr. Paterson replied in the -negative.
He had not, he said, fully considered
the matter yet.
MINING ENGINEERS.
Mr. Laurier, in answer to Mr. Mc-
Dougall, stated that the Government's
attention bad not been drawn to the
fact that the Iron and Steel Institute
of Great Britain, the Federated. Institute
of Mining Engseeers, and the American
Institute of MiningEngineers, were
to visit Canada in g
897.

Mr. Laurier moved to amend the mo-
tion by declaring that hereafter the
practice of supplying members with
leather trunks and boxes of stationery
he dispensed with,
The report, as amended, was adopted
without discussion.
• COLD STORAGE, ETC.
Mr. Bain presented a report from the
•
Committee on Agriculture, recopamend
ing that the Government provide cold
storage for the transferring to Great
Britain of Canadian perishable farm
products and that the quarantine reg•-
ulaticns be modified so as to facilitate
the importation of thoroughbred stock
for breeding purposes,
The report was adopted.
INTERNATIONAL COMPLICATION.
Breach of International Etiquette by the
German Corisui at a:lumibar-Great Bri-
tain Will Demand an Explanation..
A despatch from Zanzibar says. --An
incident of great political importance
happened 'here on Friday resulting in
decidedly strained relations between the
British and German officials here, and
which may lead, to international tom-
plications of a, serious natures After
the bombardment of the palace of Zan -
ether by the British gunboats Spar-
row, Thrush, and Racoon, Seyyid 1 ha -
lid, who had proclaimed himself Sultan
on August 25, sought refuge at the
German Consulate. The situation took
a new turn on Friday morning. An
unusually high tide prevailed, and while
it was touehing the wall of the German
Consulate Khalid was placed on board
the German cruiser, Seeadler, for con-
veyance, it is believed to one of the
German colonies. The British Cousul
here, Mr. Basil Cave, in oharge of
the British Agency during the absence
of Mr. A. H. Ilardinge. the British
Agent and Consul -General, was not
nutified of the removal of Khalid to
the German warship until after the
usurper was safe on board the Semi's-
er. But, so soon as be became aware
of the action of the German author-
ities,' Mr. Cave lodged a vigorous pro-
test at the German Consulate against
the embarkment of Khalid on the See-
adler, especially pointing out that the
question of his surrender to British
authorities was still under discussion by
the Governments of Great Britain and
Germany. Later Mr. Cave cabled a
report of the circumstances to his Gov-
ernment, and is now awaiting instruo-
tions from London. Viewed in the most
conservative light, the incident is re-
garded as being an act of stupid dis-
courtesy upon the part of the German
representative towards the representa-
tives of Great Britain, and it can hard-
ly fail to call for serious diplomatic re-
presentations.
PRIZE RECORD FOR STEALING.
An old. man in England was sent to
prison for four months for petty steal-
ing, whose record, the Judge who sen-
tenced him said, "is one of the most
awful pieces of reading that has ever
come to my notice." In 1863 he was
sent to jail for three years for stealing
two tame rabbits; he then got seven
years for stealing five shillings and a
shawl; then '10 years, with seven years'
police supervision, for stealing three
ducks; and, finally, consecutive sen-
tences for five years each of three char-
ges of stealing a coat, a pair of reins
and a shovel, with another seven years'
police supervision. In all, 35 years of
penal servitude for six thefts of objects
whose value amounted to a few dollars.
FOREIGN BODIES IN THE THROAT.
The difficulty of removing fish bones
and similar obstructions impacted at
the lower end of the oesophagus is well
known, and various mechanical meas-
ures and appliances have been invented
to deal with the difficulty. One of the
most simple, however, and, as reported,
one of the most effectual, is to adminis-
ter to the patient a pint of milk, and
forty minutes afterward an emetic of
sulphate of zinc. The fluid easily pass-
es the obstruction, and is, of course,
rapidly coagulated in the stomach in-
to a more or less solid mass, which, on
being ejected, forces the obstruction be-
fore it and so effects its removal.
