Question of Placing Ban on the Hearst Publications, Ottawa, March 17.--Without a division, the House of Commons last night approved the peace treaty with Bulgaria. The debate, which lasted practically throughout the afternoon | and evening sittings, brought the important announcement that nego- tiations were under way to empower the Dominion Parlidment, with the concurrence of the province,to'amend pr. the Canadian constitution, Mr. King criticized Mr. Rowell in particular for reiterating principles which had already been accepted. | Mr. King strongly resented any idea that the Opposition should be classed but he could status. It was merely that the status which Canada already possessed had ecured international recognition. Mr. King expressed the fear, too, that 'here was danger of swinging to the ther extreme and developing a form f 'centralized Imperialism which would be "most bbjectionable." In the evening Sir George Foster | took the floor. Speaking with vigor {and often applauded by men on both |' | sides of the House, Sir George plead- | ed that there was no ground for Mr. { King's fear of Imperial centraliza- "Canada," Sir George ex- claimed, "----Cang is the master of her own fortun and does not care what any isolated man in Eng- land or anywhere else may think." There were cranks in England as { anywhere else, but, Sir George add- {ed, he had never heard any respon- sible British statesman hint at Im- perial centralization. Third reading wis given to the bill to reduce the quantity of sil¢er in Canadian silver coinage. Questioned on the point by Mr. McKenzie, Sir Henry Drayton said that Canadian currency' stood well and compared favorably with that of any other country in the world. Canadian cur- rency was sound, The House then went into commit- tee on the bill to amend the Annu- ities. Act. Sir"Henry Drayton ex- plained that the amendment would relieve the officials of the necessity of seeing that an applicant for annu- ities was domiciled in Canada. It would also allow the purchase of an annuity up to $5,000 instead of $1,-| 000 as at present, Replying to D. D. McKenzie, Sir | Henry Drayton said that some of the limitations which were ' now being removed had kept Government an- nuities from attaining any degree of popularity, The question of placing a ban on the entry of Hearst papers and pub- lications into Canada is to be raised in the Commons to-day by Dr.-J. W. Edwards, member for Frontenac. He will ask for a list of the 'Hearst pub- lications allowed to enter Canada, and whether it is the intention of the Government to ban any or all of these, and when such action will be taken. Alofig with several other members, Dr. Edwards bitterly at- mi tacked the admission into Canada of the Hearst publications during the debate on the speech from the Throne. Theatrical At the Grand To-night. '"The Rosary," a beautiful Irish comedy-drama, will be presented at the Grand Opera House to-night, by a very attractive cast of the best ama- bat r talent to be found in Kingston: This play has been carefully selected for St. Patrick's Day, and under the diroction of Prof. Charles A. Gates rehearsals have gone forward with a swing that indicates that the per- formance will be a huge success. The play is a beautiful one and adapts itself to the needs of the amateur as very few can. Every one hag been chosen for their part with the great- est care, and Mr. Gates assures the public that this production will rival those put on by travelling com- panies. There will be numerous Irish specialties introduced during the play and between acts, and the performance is ome that is sure to give satisfaction. The proceeds are to be devoted to the use of the Hatel Dieu Hospital, and it is hoped that a large number will turn out to see this splendid Irish play.--Advt, ' "Listen Lester" Coming. The music of 'Listen Lexar," which comes to the Grand Opera House on Thursday of this week with the entire New York cast, chorus, production and special com- y orchestra, has become na: tionally known; its melodies are as familiar to the average small boy ag the features of the triumphant Jack Dempsey. "Two is Company" is a captivating song, sung by Mary Dodge and Jack 'Griffen, her sweet heart,' and into which William Penn., | ., the hotel clerk intrudes, much to the displeasure of the others. "A | Ann, form a pair of unfailing fun- | makers in the play. The famous | double guartette contribute the old- | Amendments to the Annuitles Actdiine vocal selections so dear to us all.--Advt. At Griffin's. To-night will be the last opportun- j ity patrons will have to see the de- | lightful programme which has prov- i ed so popular at Griffin's during the | past two days, and which is headlined by the Albert Capellani production, "The Love Cheat," in which Creigh- ton Hale and June Caprice are co- starred. "The Love Cheat" is one of thoge delightful, happy, little romanc- ,es that make the audience see the world through rose- -colored = specta- cles. Ideally cast, in their respec- tive roles; of a romantically inclined and wilful, heiress, and a poor but aspiring artist, June Caprice and Creighton Hale do splendid work. Unquestionably, a large share of the credit for the success of this picture should go to the excellent direction of Albert Capellani, who made the production, and engaged the splendid cast of supporting players. A good comedy picture, '"Rubes and Rob- bers," is also shown along with the shove feature, and our usual Weekly Reviews as well as the interesting Topics of the Day, which is exception- ally clever this week.--Advt, At the Strand. Girls who have.decided to marry meh Whe are not interested in women and w will not even speak to or look at StNer women after marriage, may benefit by the experience of Billie Billings, in "A Temperamental Wife," starring Constance Talmage and which will begin its run at the Strand Theatre on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Miss Talmadge plays the role of Billie Billings, strongly determined to marry only a man who is averse to all women, She finds this person in Senator Newton, of Ne- vada, a rather timid bachelor who is so bashful and of A t¥pe so exactly like her "ideal" that she determines to. marry. this solon regardless of cost. Unlike other courtship, Billie | becomes the suitor and the bashful | gentleman fron: Nevada does his best | to kéep from entangling domestic alliance. But the wiles of the ca- pricious Billie are too strong for the senator. He falls victim to her| charming self and a small period of | wedded bliss ensues. Then follows | a series of unusual incidents in which | Billie, the Bulgarian count and the | senator figure. , The senator firmly i refuses to fire his female steno- | grapher and Billie runs away with | the count. This is almost the last straw for the' senator until the re- sourceful Billie engineers a stun that sent scores of wealthy tourists | scampering out of their early morn- ing slumbers and the senator on a run that exceeded anything that he had ever accomplished in his politi- cal campaigns, SHOW A BIG INCREASE Report on Rec at Local Post Of- fice Last Year, The report of the postmaster gen- eral, for the year ending March 31st, 919, shows the total ingston = as $116,288.12.
