PARLIAMENT IS PROROGUED H.R.H. the Duke of Cortnaught In Dissolving the Common Announces His Farewell Ottawa, Juno 12. Parliament was prorogued this afternoon, when the following a/oklress was delivered from the throne by H.R.H. the I) uke of Oonoaugbt: Speech from the Throne. Following wn his Royal Hi|fh- tio-vs* prorogation speech; Honorable (rentlemen of the Sen- ate: Gentlowon of the Ho \\ s<- of Commons : I m glad to relieve you from fur- fc'ior ntt<"i<lance in ParUament at ter a session whii-h has been marked b.\ legislation of an important char- acter. The task <>f readjusting the repre- sentation of the people in the House of (.'omiiK-iiK ami the provisions of ih<> Hriti^h Xori.li American Act, on a basis not open to just criticism, has naturally been a difficult one; but it has bee-n accomplished in a manner which 1 trust will prove Mtisf.-i- :..r\ to the electorate. Tills readjustment will greatly incro-usP the rcpre*: 1 illation of the, four Wes- tern I'l-oviiKx-s. My adxi?or have not been un- mindful of the nooe-jnity of com- Eloriiig with the least possible do- y the. pi-cat Transcontinental Railway systems now under con- fit ruetion ; and the provision which has be*' i m.-ul for necessary assis- tance to th"s' great national enter- prises will. 1 trust, not only ensure th'ir early oonipk'iion. but result in distinct and marked benefit tv all 1* Ti ions of the Ikiminion. The difficult question of provid- ing a system of nfefcumuaitoa whereby tln> Matus of British citi- zenship thus acquired shall be .re- rojrni/cd |jy law in all parts of the Empire luis for many years engaged t-be attention of the Governments of the Mother Country and of all the self-governing dominions. The meo/stire which Las been pased for that purpose by the Parliament of Canada and which will find it.a complement in legislation passed by the Imperial Parliament auds by the Parliaments of flie other dominions, contributes to a great result u|x>n which the Km pi re us a whole is to L*" congratulated. It, lias IKXMI found iKve.sflia.ry to make a partial readjustment of the tariff in certain important respexis, and I have every co-nfidiMi-ce that this readjustment, will prove of rnark<'d advantage, not only t/o the industries chiefly concerned, but to a.11 the business aid industrial life uf tin- country.

MAN RESCUED FROM SNAKE Three Hundred Pound Python Wrapped Its Coils Around An Attendant A despatch from Guelph say : | enveloped in the great serpent's An act of conspicuous heroism was ~' :i - ^ " K1 f " perforvnaed oa Tuesday at the Ex.- hihitioii Park by on of -the lady performers of a traveling show, and an exciting occurrence was shorn of fatal termination by the cool-hadednes and bravery of the young woman in question. A man named Harry Thomas, employed as an assistant in the snake exhibit, entered the "pit" or enclosure oc- cupied by "Fxlward th Great," a gigantic South American python which -recently arrived, and which has not> yet beooone accustomed to his ' eurroundings. 'Edward" weighs over 800 pounds and meas- ures 3-4 inches in circumference at his t'hiokeet point, and this added to the na.t/ur*lly intractable disposi- tion of a serpent fresh from his native -wilds, makes the big snake a dangerous opponent if not care- fully a,pr>roached . Thomas, who is an oc-toroon, waa engaged in sweep- ing out tho den, -when, without the slightest warning, he found himself clammy coils. Thomas was able to give one about for assistance before tihe constricting body tightened about his throat, and he lapsed into unconsciousness, wrapped from neck to anklea in the scaly mon- ster's ever- tightening folds. Mar- guerite Still, cashier of the show, was in the ticket berth outside, and was the only one who heard the choking scream of the .unfortunate Thomas. With rare presence of mind ahe dashed into the snake en- closure where Thomas lav inert in the coils of the great srpent, and, seizing a small iron bar, partially pried the tropical destroyer from his victim. Then, hurriedly taking from her recticule a vial of smelling salts she poured the entire contents into the open, hissing mouth of the snake. Ohoking under the power- ful fumes, the huge snake relaxed his pressure, and several employees rallying to Miss StiU's call for help, succeeded in freeing Thomas from the coils which, in a moment more, would have crushed out his life.

It is estimated in Liverpool that 180,000 will be required for the relief of depen- dents of the Empress of Ireland, passengers and crew. Towards this the following has alreadv been re- ceived : Liverpool fund, 16,000; London fund, 31,000; Canadian fund, 40,000. Monetary assis- tance will also come through legal compensation, payable to the crew, and possible damages, payable to passengers. There is also the assis- tance from orphanges>.
