YEAR 76-NO. 146. -- FAVOR MOVE To Prevent Canadian Troops Making Trips v ON FOURTH OF JuLY BECAUSE ACTION MIGHT BE MISCONSTRUED, Government Will Experiment With Peat as a Producer of Gas -- Important Results May +Fol- low--Return of Deputy Post- master-General. Ottawa, June 23.--The Citizen (con servative) supports the militia depart ment in its new policy of discouraging military units from visiting the United States on July 4th. "The militia department," it says, "has properly" put its foot 'on the growing custom of Canadian militia regiments goire go visit the United States and taking part the celebration of the Fourth of July. So far as the corps who make these visits are concerned, there is absolutely political siknificance in their acts. They simply visit the United States as any other excursionists would do, and the Fourth of July happens to be a convenient day for such visits," But in other quarters the action of the Cana- dian troops in assisting to celebrate a successful revolution against British arms, might be misconstrued, and it is cexgainly not appropriate that troops should take part in such cele- brations."' The department of public let the contract for the experimental station to test the value of peat asa producer of gas to Messrs. Doran and Devlin, of Ottawa. In of the great deposits of peat which exists in Ontario and Quebec, it is expected that the experiments will be followed by important gresults. The station will cost about $13,000. D. 8. Coulter, deputy postmaster general, will return to Ottawa from his Al-Red Route mission to Australia on Saturday next. It is understood that Brigadier-Gen- eral William Dillon Otter will retire from service in the Canadian militia at the end of the present year. He will have attained the age limit of sixty-six years on December 3rd next General Otter will then have con pleted twenty-six years in the per manent militia and about forty-eight in the militia of Canada. > An interesting sequel to the usury prosecutions of some months ago de- veloped to-day when a prominent ci vil servant took action against Wal ter Hatch, one of the money denders, for the return of money collected, in the form he alleged--of an exorbitant rate of interest om a loan of $230 The plaintiff alleges that he paid baci about $200 _more than he should have under legal rates, The case comes up in county court, down in dritish works has view Indian's Narrow Escape.

Kill Of The Sturgeon, Eels And Pike. : On Tuesday 'afternoon Alired Hun- ter, game and fish overseer, took statements from several Wolie Island fishermen, chicfly James Connolly, as to what should be done to propagate black bass in these waters. The fish- ermen strongly recommended that spring netting and general spearing of sturgeons, eel and pike be allowed. This would be the surest way. they said, of propagating bass. Regarding spring netting, Jhev pointed out that it was not difficult to net bass at that time. Not one: bali of one per cent. of the fish found in the net would be bass, so that thére could be no objection to this netting of sturgeons, . eels and pike. Only" the former had any reasonable marketable value, but the killing of this kind of fish would be ten times over made up for by the increase of bass. Fels and pike preyed upon the spawn and young bass, with telling results. The opinions of the fishermen were noted by T. J. Rivney, barrister, who had conducted a fishery case before Mr. Hunter, and they will be prepared for forwarding to the department at Toronto. 1f the advice of the fisher- men is followed, black bass will short- ly increase greatly in these waters, GRANTED LEAVE.

The genial magistrate thoug everyone was then quite satisfied, but On Wednesday morning the and asked The Wife To case ht that not so. woman called on the colonel him if she could go to Gananoque and visit her husband. The colonel said she could if she wished, and it looks as if she would. -------------- OFFICERS OF THE 14TH. Entertained The Officers Of The Barriefield Camp. The 14th regiment, I. Ww.
