'..11r. litair's Appeal- letr."1-Bleir appealed to the e not to come to the conclusion a. railway commission could wtth any of the difficulties of transportation question that elway Committee of the Privy mit could not deal with. Be ught the time had come when the X. R. and the C. r. I. were in e• unison as to their policy, and 'would be very loth to believe the people of Canada would be unable to take care of their wu iatercsts against the agreement he G. T. R. and te. P. R. The y companies, he thought, , ould be very sorry to find them - eaves in antagonism to the people ef the country, and if that condition ehould be reached the people would be able to look after their own in - rests, irrespective of the combine - n of railways. Mr. Blair argued that the differ- ft` ees of freight charges were dietat- by the business of the country, cl not by any arbitrary rule of the ailways against the people. Ile was iienaware of any genuine ease of dis- edmination having been proved. Aases had been complained of. In e,,, FAteocrro the Crow's Nest Railway, ne said it was after a careful exam- lithation of rates in the T.7nited States aversing similar country that the overronent had fixed the rates on t road. His recollection was that Government had in all cases fixed er rates. It could not be said &hat the tariffs on the Crow's Nest read were higher than those obtain - on the roads south of the boun- trary line. Although there weep strong reasons offered in favor of a itailway commission, he could not ?lee any reason for the appointment 0 a railway commission during the Present session. Mr. Blair, continuing, said that it [would not be possible to introduce a itri]l this session to establish a. rail- way commission. . He had expressed • the hope last session it, would be t oesibie, but immediately upon its ejose laj had been busy with the elec.- ion me paign, so that it was not Oossihle to give the matter the con.- iorat inn it deserved. Meantime, Ito thw.glit it advisable to have-. 'a coranina ion to go over the ground 1 and inv , igate the real facts as to be grievances complained of in the press and elsewhere. The result of ;the enquiry would ,also determine if there were any grievances that could not be dealt witn by the Railway .Gommittee of the Privy Council it - 1 If not, the Governineet .would 1 , aaaffl to take any action neces- atry -Co give adequate and sufficient Mr, B. L. Borden, saw no objection to the passage of the resolution; it Naas a..:lightfully vague, quite as irag,ue as the position of the Minis- ter of *Railways. l3lit one thing Mr, Blair might address himself to, and that was such an amendment to the Railway Act as would make it clear what cases, should be referred to the Railway Cointrattee, and what to the e'oUrts. As for the proposal of the. olution, it did not define whet. rest, the question sire -ply was whetle er the Railway C°:Idittee:t of the Privy Ccwei1 was as in en. forcing the provisions of the Railway Act as would, be a. railway commis- sion.

Mr. Osler moved for a retura ol report presented to the Departraeut of the Interior by commissioners ap- pointed in June last to report upon the administration and sale by the trustees of the townsites of Virden, Qu'Appelle, Regina and AloosOaw. Ile said that no trust had ever beee so sciazirely administered, but. a re. port was published in a few Adminis. ration newspapers. which ca,st a Aar upon the trustees. particularly upon himself. Mr. Sifton said that the eVidenae lied not been applied for in a strict - le* a:citrate way. If the repart o the commissioners hait not been founded on fact, it could only be tsted in the courts. Mr. Osier immediately quoted from documents the refusal a the GeV" ennuent to submit the matter to the courts. 'Ile motion was Carried. Mr, Sifton promised to include the evidence in the return.

Toronto, March 5. -The West Dur- ham election petition brought by Mr. Thornton, Conservative candidate, against Returning Officer Bingham, for a declaration that he be declar- ed elected, notwithstanding an alleg- ed irregularity in the matter of .his deposit-, was up again yesterday for gement before Chief Justice Fal- coneridge and Mr. Justice Street. The latter still adhered to his form- er expressed opinion that the peti- tion should not be heard independ- ently of the one brought against Mr. Thornton by the Liberals. Chief Justice Falconbridge, while not changing his contrary opinion, was inclined to advise Mr. 31ePherson, counsel for Mr. Thornton, to fall in with Mr. Justice Street's decision and not press further. Mr. McPher- son, however, insisted upon citing some authorities for the benefit of Mr. Justice Street. The matter end- ed in the court fixing upon next Sat- urday as the time for hearing the preliminary objections to the peti- tion brought by the Liberals, which may dispose of that petition. The question as to the legality of a marked cheque as a. deposit yet re - Maine undecided. STExL3IEN AT TEM CAPITAL. Mr. atoxharo Again Denies Deport of iforgan "yndleate Deal. Ottawa, March 5. -Hon.

'naked the Hill to Death, 1 Washington, lifarCh 5. -One of the! most notable occurrences in the his- tory of Congressional legislationi, marked the closing hours of the last 1 session Of the Senate of the fifty- ' sixth Congress. Senator Carter of Montana signalized his retirement from the Senate after six years of brilliant service by talking the'River and Harbor bill to death. He occu- ied the floor nearly 13 consecutive as follows; h My fellow-citizeo: When we assembled here on the 4th of Mareh, 1897, there was great anxiety with regard to our currency and credit None exists now. Then our treasury receipts were inade- quate to meet the current obliga- tions of the Government. Now they are sufficient for all public needs, and we have a. surplus instead of a deficit. Plea For imperialism. Pour years ago we stood on the brink of war without the people knowing it, and without any pre- paration or effort at preparation for the impending peril. I did all that itt honor could be done to avert the war, but without avail. It became inevitable, and the CongrtiSs at its first regular session; without party division, provided money in antici- pation of the crisis and in prepara- tion to meet it, It came. The re- sult was signally favorable to Amer- ican arms, and in the highest degree honorable to the Government. It imposed upon us obligations from which we cannot eece.pe, and froin- which it Would be dishonorable to seek to escape. We are new a.t peace with the world, and it is my fervent prayer that if differences arise be- tween us and other powers they may be settled by peaceful arbitration, and that hereafter we may be near- ed the horrors of war. They are obstructionists who de- spair and who _destroy con- .Ddence in the ability of our people • to solve wisely and for civilization the mighty prob- lems resting upon them. The Amer- ican people, entrenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go, and they re- ject as mistaken and unworthy the doctrine that we lose our own liber- ties by securing the enduring foun- dations of liberty to others. Our in- stitutions will not deteriorate, but extend, and our sense of justice will not abate under tropic suns in dis- tant seas. As heretofore, so here- after, will the nation demonstrate its fitness to admitieter any new estate which events devolve upon it, a,nd in the fear of God will "take occa- sion by the harid andmake the bounds of freethen wider yet." Surely after one hundred and twen- ours and succeeded. THE MARKETS. Fractional Advances in Liverpool Wheat Options -Decline at Chicago -The Latest Qaotations.

PINK PILLS.• 11:Tr, William Gray, of Newmarket Tells How He Became Hale and Hearty at the Advanced Age of Seventy After Having Suffered Great Torture from Sciatica and Rheumatism. From the Express, Newmarket, Ont. Mr. William Gray, who is well and favorably known in the town of New- market and vicinity, is rejoieiegover his release from the pains of sciatica, and rheumatiem through the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. .A. reporter of the Express called upon him for the purpose of obtaining particulars of the cure ween Mr. Gray gave the following story for publication :- " About two and. a half years ago I was seized with a very severe attack of rheumatism.. The pain was simply torturing. At times the trouble was seated in roy knees, then in my hips. For nearly a year I suffered along, working as best I could, in the hope of being able tce overcome the dis- ease. During the day the pain was less severe,- but at night it was just as bad as eve.. To increase my tor- ture I caught a cold which resulted in an attack of sciatica, n my right leg, If I walked. a short distance I would be seized by sharp paths in the hip and in tune I became it used up man; nuy appetite failed me, and I could not rest at night on account of the pain. . 1 tried one medicine after another without avail. I also con- sulted doctors witheno better result. I was beginning to thiek that I was doomed to suffer the rest of my life when one day a friend strongly.ad- vised me tory Dr.' Williams' Pink Pills. I took bis advice and procured a supply of the pills and, began tak- ing them according to directions, Before the third box was finished noted a change for the better, so I continued the use of the pills till I had takeb ten or twelve boxes when my trouble had entirely disappeared. To -day I am free from pain and feel that life is worth living, even at the ripe old age of seventy. I can now do a day's work with many inenewho are twenty years younger than I. I thank God for *my restoration to health through the tfgency of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and I trust other similar sufferers will give them a trial, for knowing what these pills have done for me I am sure that they cannot fail being as beneficial to others similarly afflicted. If the blood is pure and wholesome disease cannot exist. ,The reason Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure so many forms of disease is that they act dir- ectlyupon' e blood and netyes, thus reaching the root of the trouble. Other medicines act only on the symptoms of the trouble, and that is the reason the trouble always returns when you cease these medicines. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make permanent cures in kidney troubles, rheinnatisni, erysipelas, anaelnia and kindred dis- eases, But, be sure you get the eenu- ine whicli hearthe full name Dr. Wil- liams' 'Pink Pills for Pale People on the wrapper around every; box. duties of chairman in a, very hn.pn manner.
