Ottawa, June 28.-R. L, Borden
yesterday brought to the attention
of the Government certain matters
mentioned In the press in regard to
the Auditor -General. First he read
the following from The Hamilton
Times: •
"The Auditor -General le not, so
anxious for superannuntion that he is
milling to unconditionally resign. He
wants ten years added to his length
of service. How does that square
with his Spartan honesty and in-
tegrity in the xnatter of the public
aeCceints? Does he want pay without
performing service? Perhaps the
next Auditor -General would refuge to
pass his accounts." •
Mr. Borden also quoted from The
Glebe: "The Auditor -General makes
his application for superannuation
conditional on adding ten years to
his length of service. The Govern-'
: 'tient are doubtful whether this can
be done,"
• :

The Government, Mr. ellancy ar-
gued, had taken money from the
people and failed to give them the
service they had a right to expect
when an efficient service WAS most
needed, the Postmasteneletteral had
deprived the people of postolfices ex-
cept in placer; where they were cer-
tain to pay. The great benefits of
the two -cent. rate, Mr. Clancy said,
'had been conferred on conduce/eel
eencerns, counting houses, banks mtd
• manufacturers. The farmers had been
made the victims of the devices for
which the Postmaster -General laid
claim to so much credit.
Temente 01 Two -cent nate.
Sir William efulock replied. •that tt
would be very difficult to convince
the people who go to the postotfice
to post letters that they are not
better off now paying a twoeetne
rate then when the postage was three
cents.. There had been a reduction of
8 1-3 pee cent., whethee it was the
banker or the farmer who paid the
postage.
Without the Informatiou.
In reply :to a question 'of W. F.
Maclean as to railways that have
complied with the law • by filing
standard passenger tariffs, . also ask-
. ing if any railway is Ontario, Que-
bec or the . Maritime Provinces is
cbarging over three cents per mile,
Hon. II. Re Diiimereon asked that
the question stand.
• Mr. 13e11 of Fictou: observed that
the answer- to this question had a
bearing on bill No. '6, which was the
first order of the Railway Clementit- ,
* tee', and it would be important,. if
possible, to get • the :information . be-
fore them. . •
'The Minister of Railways ,saia The
first part of the question eogid be
answered, but as to the rates charge
• ed by the different railways in all
these provinces the infoyination
Would have to be secered. He pro-
.
rnised, -however, to ask the Deeeter
Minister, • and if it .could be got tho
inforMation would be brought down.

Aueitoe-Genoral is more than . any.
public servant . an officer of -Pralicta
ment, and if they had the Auditor -
General's resignation in their posses-,
seen it should be laid ori the table,
of the House. Mr. Dorthee asked if -
it were true that the Auditor -Gener-
al's resignation -was made condition -
at, in the manner mentioned in those
two .newspapees, which are supposed
to be. in ;the confidence of the Goya
ernment, He 'wished also to wilt if
the Government had any 'objection to '
bringing. down • a. copy of the Audi-
tor's letter of resignation, if such

THs CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
It Was at leirrot linasve au the Cane
of All the Storm.
An early navigator, Ilartolontete
Diaz, commissioned by King John II.
of Portugal to continue the work of
Africau exploration down the west
coast. sailed from Lisbon lil August.
1480. with a small rorce .and landed at
.severill places, of white) he took pee-
seesion In the mune or hitt master.
• As be approachml the southern ex-
tremity of the continent he was blown
out to sea by n tremendous storm and
doubled the Cape without knowing It.
Land wats not again made nutil the
mouth or the 'Gillet Fish river wail
sighted, and the Alps came to anchor
In Algoa bay. A council held there de.,
eided to return home, and on the way
back the Cape WON dIscovered and
Christened by the commander. In re -
membrane° er4 Ills first experience,
Cabo Tortnentose, or Cabo des Ware
les Tormientos; that is, Cape of All the
Storms.
When the discovery.was reported to
the king he immediately saw the tin -
mouse possIbilitlee of a new road to the
Indies. and bestowed upon it the bap -
Pier Jeanie or the Cape or Good Hope.
By a singular corruption of its first
title the Cape.was long known to Eng -
hell seamen as the Cupe of Toruiente,
and the legend of the- "Dieing Dutch-
man" was localized there by u misun-

(Maly to the subject of his own age,
and proceeded:
"The dearth of plays I scarcely
dare to . Mention, beceuse it pro-
vokes lively correspondence in the

about as enterprising a manager as

has more masterpieces than he knot:ter
