"The opposition," said he, pre- sumably talking for all its members, "had no knowledge as to the justice of the claims, and would not consent to them." Mr. Marter, however, ris ing thought it a pity that houorable gentlemen could not come to any other conclusion than a decision to vote against all the sidies. immediately, sub- In looking over them he found that there were ten railways, covering 200 miles in all, serving ten different parts of the province, and some them opening up mining and new dis- tricts, They all knew that districts be reached or developed with- out railways. He was in favor opening up the country, because by the development of new Ontario older of fit. Subsidies granted to railways in the past, particularly to those in the northern country, had resulted in great Lerefit, and the money invested had heen well repaid. 1f he had been in the house when the vote for the Tem- iskaming railway was taken he would have supported the government. He would have done so because Toronto and the older parts of the country would be benefited, and that was the motive in the present case. That Mr. Marter appealed to the judgment of bis political allies is indicated by the fact that three of them--Messrs. Fox, (West' Vietoria), Allen (North Has- tings), and Carnegie, (East Victoria), voted with him in favour of the sub- sidies' bill, and it was carried by 50 to 31... A similar bolt from the gov- ernment side would have been accept od as a prooi of its disintegration. LIQUOR ACT PASSED. In the final discussion of the liquor bill the opposition did not shine to advantage, Mr. Crawford began the performance by moving that the claus referring to the referendum Le struck out. Some people did not like the bill, therefore he, a professed tem: perance man, was warranted in seek- ing to destroy it. Col. Mathe- son thought "the legislature was establishing a bad precedent in adopt- ing the referenduin, so he opposed it. Mr. Foy said the defeat of the refer. endum would defeat the bill and he was in favour of killing the thing in sections. Mr. Marter went against the referendum; but not for the purpose of killing the bill. Mr-Whitney collid- ed first with the attorney-general and financial secretary by declaring that in the cabinet meetings they ~~ were against prohibition, a declaration which was promptly and emphatically contradicted. He was aroused by the reports that if he attained to power, after the general elections, he would repeal the act, but he did not say much about it. The house would not believe it, he said, and he dropped the subject with that remark. Mr. Naor ter, again speaking, commended the government for its action, in giving a prohibition measure to the extent of provincial rights, accepted the prin- ciple of consulting the people in re gard to it as right, quoted what Mr. Meredith (as leader of the opposition) had said in support of it, and repudi- ated the idea that the bill was an immoral one. He moved, seconded by Mr. Tucker, that the vote on the bill take place in comnection with the municipal elections. His amendment was Jost on g division of 76 to 4, Mr. Marter then moved, seconded hy Nr.

Lord Charles Beresford is the man for chief of the admiralty. He has progressive ideas, and he is persever- recent ing and bound to carry out his plans.

This will be Mr. Cowles' first appearance in Ontario, as most of his career has been spent in light opera.

The Hon. Mr. Sutherlana is a practical minister, who could be de- pended on to do justice to every one -oncerned, and when he chose com mander Spain to bandle this satter he knew his man, and well knew that Spain was the very best man in the marine department for such a case Spain is a thorough sailor; with a splendid experience to fit him for such a task, and above all a man of strong mind, who would not let him- seli be swayed by outside issues or lo- cal prejudices. "During the trial Spain was very patient and painstaking, giving every- one a fair chance and using every en- feavor to get out the tacts. mm tae hands of a strong man like Spain I had no fear of the result, and | be lieve the public will be satisfied. as | am, that Capt.

As for James Halpin, I think he was the brightest young engineer 1 ever met. | believe that the verdict is strictly in accordance with the evi- dence, and in every line it shows proof of careful reasoning. The court could have said, 'We exonerate Capt. A. H. Malone and return his certih cate," but this would not have satis- fied the public, and so each charge 1s taken up and a valid reason given why it is not sustained. "lI would like to say one word con- cerning Capt. Malone. Perhaps | have good reason for knowing him better than any other mariner, and no one more than | regrets that such an un- fortunate circumstance should termin- ate hig successful career of twenty-five vears as master. 1 served under him as sailor and mate for three or four years. 1 have had considerable to do with him since I have quit sailing, and in my judgment and opinion he iv the peer of any master mariner on the great lakes. I will go a step fur ther and state that he is head and shoulders in his profession above any master on the Canadian side of the great lakes. 1 have seen him under all trials as a mariner, and I have never heard of his flinching or show ing a spark of cowardice. Cool and collected at all times his carer of twenty-five years in command of all classes of vessels on the lakes is one that any man might be proud of, and there is: no other mariner on the lakes who has had the same experience, "Men who command vessels in the grain, coal or ore trade, run their vessels from harbor to harbor with good piers, lighthouses and buoys to help them navigate, but Capt. Malone has had charge of all classes of ves sels for twenty-five years, trading nearly all. of the time on the lake shore, in most dangerous out of the way places, exposed to all sorts of weather and oftentimes on a lee shore with three or four barges to take care of and during all this time never losing a ship or losing the confidence of his employees or that of the cargo owners and underwriters. 1 state career has been one that no other master mariner can point to and he may well feel proud at coming out of such a trial without one slur against his character or one fault found with his course of action. Men on shore may and do pass all sorts of criticism on his work during this disaster. Cri- tics are always found 'ready made,' but the men who have served their time at the trade see nothmg to con- demn and much to praise in Capt. Malone's conduct. 1 think it only fair justice to give you my opinion of him. "Let me say further that the barge Marine City was not abandoned by her original crew as a wreck, This barge with two others stranded enter ing Thunder Bay harbor. The crew of the Marine City assisted in getting the other barges into safety. When they camo out after their own craft, the water had raised and the Marine City floated off, The wind changed to the westward and the Marine City drifted out into lake Huron, where she was picked up by the India."

Method of Keeping Open Door in Shan Tung. ; London, March 17.0. Morrison, the Pekin correspondent of The Times, says the best cumunentary on the mis leading German assurances regarding Sham Tung is that every recent Chi- nese directory and collection of the treaties between Chind and other powers contains the authoritative text of the German Chinese agreement con cerning railways, mining and other privileges in Shan Tung, which was signed in March. 1598. This treaty stipulates that if at any time the Chinese form schemes to develop Shang Tung with the use of foreign capital they must apply first to Ger man capitalists. They must also first apply to German manufacturers for machinery, and only apply elsewhere when the Germans have declined to supply what is wanted. "Such, % re- marks Dr. Morrison, "is the approv- ed German method of maintaining the 'open door' in Shan Tung. EFFECT OF LYDDITE. ' Refracted Fragments of Object Hit Carried 300 Yards. London, March 17.-The extraordin- ary effect of lvddite has been revealed by the statement that, during the re cent experiments with the hulk of the old battleship, Belle Isle, shells con- taining that eéxplosive refracted frag- ments. ~upon 'the attacking vessels, which were 300 vards distant. Other fragments dropped close to a gun boat. situated 2,00 vards abeam of the line of fire. The deduction drawn is that, when lyddite is used, there is danger for a friendly vessel at least 2,000 yards away. The Outlook com pares lyddite with a boomerang, and points out that, to be of any service, it must be dropped right on board a hostile vessel, as *"'if the does not hit the right place, it will fly back and hit the slayer."

London, March 17.--~A remarkable discovery has been made in county Mavo, Ireland, where a wooden boat, believed to be nearly 2,000 years old has been dug up by some laborers They struck something hard with their spades, and, at first, thought it was a coffin. Later, a boat, heautifully cary ed from the trunk of an oak tree, was revealed. It was forty-six feet and showed absolutely no signs of de cay. The wood was so hard that hatchets made scarcely any impression on it. The boat will shortly be taken to the Dublin museum long, None This Year. Ottawa, March 17.--Although the minister of railways has announced that a measure making provision for the appointment of a railway commis sion is to be introduced, it is thought that the bill will not be passed this season.
