Ottawa, March 4.--The house, yes- terday afterpoon, discussed civil ser vants and the garnisheeing of wages, | which, in the minds of many of those in 'the galleries, was far from being as interesting as the reciprocity de- bate, much as it has been talked of. Mr. Beaupariant, M.P., was one of the speakers, going at length into this. Mr. Jamieson, of Digby, and Sir A. Aylesworth, had considerable to say relative to the Atlantic fisheries ques- tion. There is some talk around the house {corridors to the effect that Hon. Mr. Templeman will probably speak' on Monday, on the reciprocity questions, that Si: Willrid Laurier will be heard on Tuesday, and that Messrs. Field- ling and Patterson will likely follow { him. { The Whiggrmsiud Hon, Mr. Siftow, lif he cerefl to ay anything further for publication on the reciprocity a- greement question but he replied that he did not.

[Poth it and the one of Mr, Sifton's intention to enter British polities are denied. There is much guessing as to what Dr. Edwards, M.P., for Frontenae, will do. The question is being ask- ed will he fall in line with most of {the other conservatives and support | the proposed trade pact or is he to 'oppose it.
