A despateh from Ottawa says:

Parliament of Canada Wete opened
by Hie Rayed Highness the Duke of
Cennamtht, on Thursday alter -
noon, with an the splendid formali-
tiee eharecteristic •of the yearly
funetion. The event wae graced by
glorious Indian summer weather
with a edit haze hovering over the
Gatineau hills, and the tkies cloud-
less and blue, There wee uot
breath of wind and the boom of the
guns from Nepean Point announc-
ing the arrival within the gates of
the royal party reached the ears of
the inviting multitudes with start -

Speech From the Throne.
"Honorable gentlemen of the
Sena te
"Gentlemen of the House of
Commons :
"I have during the past sunamer
spent several menthe ill visiting the
principal cities and townof Can-
ada from coast to coast, and have
endeavored to make myself as far
as possible acquainted with the con-
ditions prevailing.
"It has been a source a the deep-
est satisfaction to me to see the al-
most universal prosperity which
reigna throughout the Dominion,
and to witness the energy and en-
terprise which are shown in devel-
oping the rich resources of the
land.
"It is moat gratifying to observe
that the trade of the Dominion is
increasing rapidly and steadily, the
aggregate trade for the last fiscal
year being the largest on record.
During the present year the same
steady inerease has been noted,
and it is antio.'pated that the total
volume of our trade for the pre-
sent fiseal yew' will'greatly surpase
that of may previous year in our
history.
"The revenues of the Dominion
continue to expand, and in every
branch of business and industry
there is a remarkable activity
which gives assurance of continued
progress and prosperity.
More Britishers Came.
"A copious and welcome stream
of immigration has poured into our
country dosing the past summer.
The volume of immigration during
the present year is greater than
during any corresponding period of
our history, and in larger measure
than usual it has been drawn from
the British Islands.
"The labors of the hushancimen
have been blessed with an ample
return; and, although in some dis-
tricts the weather has been unpro-
pitious for the harvest, it is ex-
pected that the total velue of our
field crops will be greater than in
any previous year.
"Papers will be laid before you
which enabodv trade arrangements
that have been consummated be-
tween the Dominion and certain of
his Majesty's possessions in the
West Indies. It is hoped that these
arrangements will prove of great
advantage, not only to those pos-
sessions, but to Canada as well. A
bill will be introduced for the pur-
pose of carrying this agreement in-
to effect.
The Emergency Grant.
"During the past aummer four
been disclosed which in the opinion
of my tedhisers render it imperative
that th•cs effective naval forces of
the Empire should be strengthened
without delay. My advisers are
convinced that it is the duty of
Canada at this juncture to afford
reasonable and necessary aid for
that purpose. A bill will be intro-
duced accordingly.
"A contract for the construction
of the Hudson Bay Railway trent Le
Pas to Port Nelson has been award-
ed, and the work is being pushed
forward with all possible speed.
"It is abundantly evidene that
the highways of Canada constitute
an important part of an efficient
scheme of transportation, The ne-
cessity for improving our existing
facilities in this regard is manifest,
and a hill will be introduced for the
purpose of enabling the Dominion
to co-operate with the Proviaces in
the ecoomplishrnent ,of this most de-
sirable purpose,
Agrienitural Co-operation.
"It is satisfactory to know that
the proposal of my Government to
co-operate with the Government
of the various Provinces in promot-
ing the agricultural industry has
met with hearty approval. The ap-
propriations which were made last
session in connection therewith
have proved to be of marked bene-
fit to the country.
"After careful study of the whole
question my advisers are convinced
that co-operation with the Pro-
vinces on well defined terms and
conditions will achieve the best re-
sults along the lines of agricultural
instruction. Any such policy to be
effective must be oontinuous. Ac-
cordingly, a bill will be introduced
by which a substantial amount of
money will be set apart from the
consolidated revenue fund for the
purpose of assisting the Provinces
for a term of years in this highly
important national work.
Reduced Cable Rates.
"My Govern,ment has succeeded
in securing certain reductions in
cable rates, and will continue its ef-
forts to obtain still further reduc-
tions.
"Under existing legislation the
charters of the banks will expire on
the 1st day of July next. A bill re-
vising and extending these charters
will be submitted for your consider -
ethos and approval.
"Several other bills will be sub-
mitted, including measures provid-
ing for increased representation of
the Provinees of Alberta, Saskat-
chewan, and Manitoba in the Sen-
ate.
Estimates at Early Date.
"Gentlemen of the House:
"The accounts for the last fiscal
year will be laid before you. It
will be satisfactory to you to learn
that the revenue has been ample to
cover both ordinary and capital ex-
penditure.
"The estimates for the next fiscal
year will be submitted at an early
date. They have been prepared
vr,ith due regard on the one hand
for economy and on the other hand
for the necessary development of
the resources of the Dominion.

alluded, and I invoke the blessings

A Naval Engagement.
Two more chapters of the war are
reported -s, rsaval engagement off
Varna between the Turkish cruiser
Hamedieh and Bulgarian torpedo
boats, and the occupation of Flor-
ins). by the Greeks. The Bulgariens
report that they did great da,naage
to and probably sank the cruiser.
The Turks report that they sank
two torpedo boats and that the
cruiter
was only slightly damaged.
By the occupation of Florina,
which lies to the south of Monastir,
the Groeks, aecorcline to the Athens
report; have cut off the rear guard
of the Turkish army to the number
of 30,000, retreating from Monastir.
Turks Lost Heavily.
Bennett Burleigh wires to The
London Daily Telegraph from Mete -
stake Pasha, under date of Fri-
day morning :-The great bombard-
raerst of Adrianople proceeds furi-
ously. It became intense about 2
ohdock this morning.. The Turks,
who used electric searchlights, re-
plied hotly for a time with all their
guns. There were attempted sal-
lies but these were repulsed with
mill slaughter. New positions
and forts have been captured. In
thio fighting there was by far the
heaviest fire of the siege.
Greeks Torpedo Gunboat.
A despatch from Athens sarys :
A Greek torpedo boat entered the
harbor of Aivala, on Sunday and at-
tacked a Turkish gunboat there.
On the appearanoe of the Greeks
the Turkish sailors abandoned the
gunboat after opening the vetoers
stop -cocks, Greek marines went
on hoard, but were unable to stop
the inrush of water. They then
blew up the gunboat with a. tor-
pedo.
Peace Negotiations Resumed.
A despatch from Constantinople
says: Negotiations for an armistice
were begun on Sunday at a place
near the town of Tehatalja between
three Bulgarian and three Turkish
delegates. The Turkish Comman-
der-in-chief, Nazism Pasha, Gen.
Hadi Pasha and Rechiel Pasha,
Minister of Pasha,
are the three
Ottoman delegates. Nazim Pasha
had a conversation on Saturday
with General Savoff, the Bulgarian
Commander-in-chief. If the condi-
tions for an armistice recently pro-
posed by the Bulgarians are modi-
fied negotiations or peace probebly
will begin immediately.

"For a period last summer the
thought of food excited feelings of
nausea," writes Mrs. 0. A. Dodge,
of Bloomsrbnry. "The heat had
made me listless and the distaste
for food redwood me to a condition
of semi -starvation and brought me
to the verge of nervous collapse.
T•onies were usel-est to restore an
wetly(' desire for food. The doctors
told me my liver and kidneys were
both at fault, but the medicines
they gave me were too severe and
reduced my streagth so that I had
to abandon them. At the !sugges-

ance of a vast number of otherwise in-

in Ontario least, a very great deal

Criticism of Blake.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about
Sir Richard's book is his criticism of Ed-
vrard Blake. He rarely mentious Blake
extent to censure him. He amuses him
of disloyalty to Alexander Mackenzie and
of repeatedly ruining the prospects of the
Liberal party in the House of Commons
and in the Province of Ontario by his
bungling politics. His conduct in trying
to publish his famous West Durham let-
ter previeue to the election of 1891 is de-
scribed as "treacheroue" to Laurier and
Cartwright, the Dominion and Ontario
leaders.rospeetively in the House of Com-
mons. His resignation of the Liberal
leadership In 1887, one is led to infer, was
the aet of a quitter, whets victory was
within sight.
One of the most serious charges against
Beak° ie that he deliberately and need-
lesely estranged the Orange Order from
the Liberal party, particularly by his at-
titude on Aka and by his direet attack on
the Order in Parliament. This, Sir Rich-
ard affirms, will take generations to
Do:Interact,
Of Sir John A. Macdonald he speaks
vehemently, but with some mellovseees.
Repeatedly he declares that Sir John's
Pactifio deal and his subsequent re-endor-
sating by the country did neer* to de-
grade the publio life of Canada than will
be overcome for generations.
. Of Laurier.
Of Laurier he speaks cordially, but with-
out any apparent enthusiasm. No doubt
he will have more to say on this subject
In a second volume, which the publishers
promise later, the present one stopping
short at the year 1896. Alexander Mee-
leenzie Is praised for his personal quali-
ties, and his weaknesses as a politician
eesinted out. McGreevy is described as an
honest man, but a scapegoat. Of course.
Sir Rithard, during a, long life, came in
contact with all the prominent men of
an interesting era, and he gives his esti-
mate of most of them.
His views on publics questions were :nada
known pretty thoroughly during his life-
time, but he leaves a succinct aeoonnt et
them for future generetions. The depo-
pulation of Ontario and the issue of pro-
tection receive the fulleet consideration.
There is little doubt but that the book
will have le:fluorite on future genera-
tions. Sir Riohard had undoubted abil-
ity, and a turn of the wheel of fortune
znight at more than one stage in his ca-
reer baye made him Premier of Canada.
Doubtlees he would have made a justiol-
ous Prime Minister, but in that case
he would have scarcely left us his delight-
reminiseences.
No Clft for Toronto.
Sir James 'Whitney has replied in ether-
acteristie fashion to the request of tbis
city of Toronto that the Normal School
grounds should be turned over to the
city as a civic park. The Square is worth
probably a million dollars now, though it

ernment for a few those:and. The argu-
ment that the increase should be handed
over to the city because it was the city'
growth that gave it the increased value
is kaooked into a cocked hat by the Pre -
niter. who points out that "the Province

property and of the great therease of
wealth in the city."

Ashbridge Bay, now chiefly waste, into
exceptionally desirable industrial sites,
and to beautify tbe city by a ten -mile
waterfront boulevard and ariveway ex-
tending from she Humber to the Don.
The reeults of theao changes is hard to
foretell without some imagination. The
Athbridge's district can easily support an
industrial population of 100,000, and the
establishment of real shipping facilities
will give Toronto a stronger grip than
ever on the distributing business of Can-
ada. It may be that after all, Toronto's
dream of a million people may not be so
far in the distant future.
