| The Government will introduce a bill to increase the bounty paid for the de-- ltruc)lon of wolves from $10 to $20. In view of the measures being taken to populate the northern districts it is proper that the settlers be protected egainst such undesirable neighbors. 1 Osier to be Tried For Murder. Replying to Mr. Marter, the Attor-- ney--General said there is a statutory fleclaration made by Eva Osier, a child of nine. years, in the possession of the Government which amounts to charging her father with having murdered her mother. Inspector Murray has the case in hand and is giving such attention to the matter as is consistent with his other duties. _A statement that a Brit-- ish subject extradited for burglary can-- not be tried for murder, whether cm-- anating from the Attorney--General's Department or elsewhere, correctly states the law, it being provided by the extradition treaty between England and the United States, article three, that no person surrendered by or to either of the high contracting parties shall be triable or be tried for any crime or of-- fence committed prior to his extradi-- tion other than the offence for which he is surrendered until he shall have the opportunity of returning to the country from which he was surrender-- ed. The department has undertaken to direct a further investigation of the matter, and the same will be proceed-- ed with in due course. -- Osier has late-- ly written from the penitentiary to say that he is prepared to stand his trial without reference to the provisions of the extradition treaty. Payment to Mr. Ryan. ._In answer to Mr. Jamieson, Hon. Mr. 'Davis said that the last sale of On-- tarlo timber limits was conducted by Mr. Peter Ryan, who received $750 for his services. ) Mr. Preston (South Brant) asked : "Has the Government in contemplation ithe establishment of a Bureau of Labor which would be entrusted with the col-- lection and publication of statistics or 'other information affecting the indus-- trial classes, and with the enforcement of labor legislation ?" _ The Premier replied : "The matter has for some time been under the con-- sideration of the Government and is now receiving considerable attention at our hands." Hon. Mr. Ross informed Dr. Pyne that the Government received & depu-- tation of certain persons interested in the promotion of the beet root sugar irdustry. They asked that the Gov-- errment should consider granting a bounty on the quantity of sugar pro-- duced, and the matter was receiving the serious attention of the Government. Junior Judges. The adjourned debate was resumed 'on the motion for the second reading | XUniversity. to include the Minister of Educa-- and --the Chancellor of Toronto Bounty on Beet Sugar. Destruction of Wolves. Bureau of Labor. Mr. Whitney denounced the Govern-- ment for repealing the law preventing the appointment of junior Judges in counties of a certain population. That law was repealed:-- when the Liberais eczme into power at Ottawa, and the change was made in the interest of im-- pecunious Liberal lawyers who want-- ed places. He also spoke generally of changes of law in order to permit men to feed at the public trough. Re-- ferring to the condition of things in Ontario, he said there was not enough werk to keep two men employed. He concluded by reading a letter from Mr. D. 8. Brown, who, he said, was & Reformer, in which the writer stated that there was only enough work to keep one Judge employed half his time, and that two Judges would be simply tumbling over each other. Premier Ross pointed out that the arguments used by Mr. Whitney would be very materially changed by the County Court law amendments when they became law. Under the new act the duties of the Judges would be largely increased, and would require much more time than at present. It would, therefore, be unfair to place all the work upon the Judge. For twenty years the County of Ontario had two Judges under Conservative rule, but the Opposition leader had had nothing to say against that. Mr. Ross warmly defended the Judges from Mr. Whit-- ney's charge of being impecunious Lib-- eral lawyers feeding at the public trough. Mr. Whitney denied that he had in-- dulged in any reflections upon the bench, but reiterated that the change in the law permitting the appointment of junlor Judges was made for the purpose of rewarding impecunious Lib-- eral lawyers. of Mr. Hoyle's bill to pointment of a junio County of Ontario h vacancy occurred. Mr. Ross--The appointments have been made, consequently the junior Judges are impecunious Liberal law-- yers feeding at the Liberal trough. The House divided on Mr. Hoyle's motion, which was defeated on a vote of 38 for and 45 against. 2 -- Mr. Whitney--Just as you like about that. (Ministerial applause.) Mr. Brown's bill to amend the muni-- cipal dramage act was given its second reading and referred to the Municipal Committee. Mr. Eilber's bill to enable mutual fire insurance companies to insure for five years instead of four caused a short, spirited debate. Mr. Hoimes (Haldi-- mand) pointed out the inadvisability of changing the law for the benefit of one company, while the others, of which there were about eighty, met annus,lly, and decided what legisiation they| wanted, and at their last meeting saw no need of a ehange. Hon. Mr. Strat-- ton pointed out that changes in build-- ings were frequently made, and it was desirous that the policies be not made for longer than four years. Mr. Mar-- ter called attention to the saving to the farmers of the renewal fee. 1 Mr. Conmee said he felt favorably disnosed toward the bill. Terms of Insurance. for the when a ap-- 12 5
