Ottawa, March 31 reassembles on Tuesday Gus Porter, conservative member for West Has tings, will resume the debate on the dg The debate may possibly be concluded on ' Friday evening, but there is g likelihood of it going over till next week. Many of the members entertain the idea that there will le a revision of the tariff next session, and #0 are taking advantage of the present debate to put themselves on record, Opinions differ as 10 when the session will close. In some quar ters it is thought that the house will prorogue early in May, but not a few members are of opinion that business will not be wound up till tue 23rd of that month. At present there seems to be no good reason why the session should be prolonged until the latter date, Once the budget debate is end ed, the supplementary estimates will be broaght down, and there will doubtless be railway subsidies and one or two government measures, There are, of course, numerous pri vate bills awaiting legislation, hut in five weeks from now the parliamen tary slate should be wiped pretty clean.

London, March. 31.~A blow is about to be struck at that cherished British institution, the flirtatious, white-cuffed and aproned barmaid. From Glasgow come intelligence that the city magis trates are about to decree that in the future those rosy-cheeked, sharp- tongued young women shall not sup- ply the public with whiskey and beer. Should the magistrate succeed, it is pitiable to think of the distress and grief of that portion of the kingdom's young men who find all their social enjoyment in conversation over the 'bar with the Hebe who draws their beer. ---------- Rejoice In Dillon's Misbehavior. Landon, March 31.<A despatch to the Times, from Dublin, says that at a meeting of the Dublin harbor execu- tive of the United Irish league it was resolved to congratulate John Dil lon on his recent getion in the British house of commons, in calling Hon.

Philadelplda Telegraph, When Sousa, famone the world over as king of march music, landed in the "home of the free," he carried with him a valise on which was marked in plain letters "John Philipso, U.8.4." Time passed, and this son of sunny Italy commenced to grow musical and also to become Americanized. It was then, so the story gees, that he ex pressed the desire for a name more nearly like those of the people which he was one by choice, Philipso sounded out of place doing service for 4 man who had imbibed American beliefs and customs and whose destiny was closely linked with "the stars and stripes forever." member of the band to which he longed finally made a suggestion.

There wis a great display of millin ery in the churches yesterday; the shops down the street were totally outdone. The woman who could not boast of a new Easter hat and suit was virtually told to "Go way back and sit down:" The man who could not admire a chunk of cloth, decor ated with a daub of colored ribbon and a feather, might as well have stayed at home. To any one who viewed some of the church scenes those lines which fell from the lips of Christ, the meek and lowly Nazarene, sounded very odd and out-of-date "Take no thought for your life, what ve shall eat or what ye shall drink. nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on * * * * And why take ye thought for raiment ?' ete. : Queen's Journal Staff.

The Toronto Globe says © Judging from the large audiemee present at the Princess last evening amd the mw peated curtain calls accorded James O'Neill in i tation of Dumas masterpiece, "Monte Cristo." that production has lost none of its popu larity. The scenery throughout, ami more especially that of the conserva tory and ballroom, was superb, and seldom equalled by any travelling company. From the first act until O'Neill, as Edward Dantes, is unjust ly accused, through the wonderful wene of the stormy séa, and again when disguised as a priest, the play nev flags. Mr. Frederic de Bellville as "Norton," shares the honors with Mr. O'Neill, and is still the : same suave, polished actor as we remember him when playing in Mrs. Fiske's company. Miss Selene Johnson, as "Mercedes," played a careful part, her best effort being in the fourth act in the magnificent ballroom spene, when she vecogmizes Dantes a%° ber long lost husband, The company al together is a capable one, and the presentation of the such as leaves nothing to be desired.
