Ottawa, Mareh 10. Parliament op- ens this afternoon with the usual cere monies. The Session promizes to be an interesting one, as it is generally lieved it will be the last before general election. : The government will press for the adoption of madifications in the con tract with the Grand Trunk Pacifie, for the construction of the transconti- nentul lines. The Grand Trunk people have decided that they cannot under- the take the construction of the road without some modification of the terms agréed upon last session. The to vigorously railroad and the outcome remains to be seen. Bevond these proposed modifications in the Grand Trunk contract and the estimates, the government has noth- opnosition is preparing * Ruri INTHE BURGOMASTER® MISS LOUISE BRACKETT. ing of importance to present to parli- ament. Consequently, so far as the government's programme is concerned the session should be a short one. But whether such will be the case is a question for doubt. 'The opposition may find it expedient, for the educa tion of the electorate, to force a gen- eral and exhaustive discussion of the entire fiscal policy of the administra- tion--which might pr lone the . sion for many weeks. It is regarded as a possibility also that reciprocity and inter-imperial trade mav come up in connection with the tariff. The pre mier"s suggestion, towards the close of last session, that Canada should be greanted the treatv-making power, mav alto very possibly be discussed. The question of inducing Newfound land to enter confederation has been a good deal before the country of late, and has attracted much attention am- ong the people. Proposgls for annexa- tion must come from Canada, and not from Newfoundland; ang it igre garded as possible that the question may be taken up at the present secs- sion and that something definite may result. The acquistion of Greenland, and St. Pierre and Miquelon, mav also come before parliament for discussion, as well ag 'other minor matters that have been engacing public attention during the last half vear. Any one of these auestions would involve a con- siderable addition to the length of the session, and in addition there is a possibiity=6f svstematic obstruction. If the opposition should decide to car rv the over to midsummer, there is little or nothing to prevent it. In view of these considerations it is believed by many that the session begun to-day will last several months instead of weeks, and that the gener al elections will not be held before the fall. session INCIDENTS OF THE DAY, Newsy Paragraphs Picked up by Reporters On Their Rounds.

Several "'mieaty" railroad and other corporation measures came un for con- sideration, aud after the session had closed the old farmer surprised every body by buying and paving cash for roperty worth £30,000.
