Howard the Conservative leader, ° [tu Ferguson, Upper | 283in raised the question as to when {crime specialists by Scotland Yard. tsending marines to {the geport of timber commission | would be available. There seems to {be a general feeling in the air, he | sald, that it was not the intention {to have the report brought down be- fore the session was closed. It was now four months since the taking of evidence was completed. The report should be expedited. Attorney-General Raney said there | was no justification for the sugges- | tion that it was not intended to {bring down the report until after the | close of this session. There was no {such intention on the |government. The government de- sires the report to be brought down jat the earliest possible date and fur- | ther , there was not intention on the part' of the commissioners to have the report delayed. ) Not Worrying. | Mayor Alex. C. Lewis, M.P.P., Northeast ~ Toronto, stated yester- |day that he was not worrying in the slightest about the attorney-gener- al's decision not to pay counsel for the defense in the Huston inquiry. Mr. Lewis added that it had never been his intention to have a legal ad- viser to represent himself at the probe and that accordingly he was not affected by this development. He | felt, however, that the government most certainly should not only allow the family of the deceased.to be rep- resented at the investigation, but that it also should shoulder any ex- penses thus incurred. Beyond stating his attitude towards the whole ques- {tion had not changed in any way |since he forwarded his communica- tion to Mr. Raney on Saturday, Mr. Lewis did not care to make further comment until such time as he had récéived the attorney-general's gpe- ply to his letter. ORDER OF THISTLE FOR PRINCE OF WALES -- Will Be the Recipient of Scot- tish Knighthood on His Birthday. London, May 2.--A birthday pre- {sent to the Prince of Wales, it 13 { understood, will be in the form of the creation of His Royal Highness las a Knight of the Thistle. The gift {will probably be handed to the | Prince"on the morning of his birth- { day, June 23rd, when he will be 28 |years old. The prince is expected {to return from his tour in the east {on June 20th. ; For some time past the King has :been considering how best he might bestow some tangible mark of his satisfaction with the efforts of the Prince of Wales in India and the Far East, and His Majesty has decided that the conferring of the Order of [the Knight of the Thistle would be a suitable token of affection and.ap- preciation. : In connection with the matter sur- prise has been expressed that the Prince has not already been made a member of this order, but the King himself-did not become a Knight of the Thistle until the eve of his wed- ding. This was on July 5th, 1893, when Queen Victoria gave a family dinner party at Buckingham Palace in honor of the wedding that was to take place on the following day. A short time before the dinner was due to be served Her Majesty sum- moned her grandson .to her private apartment and there handed him the star and ribbon of the order, and expressed the wish that he would wear it that night. King George, who was then Duke of York, was in nav- al uniform at the moment, and he had to divest himself hastily of We Order of the Garter and MeAuiney 8 green ribbon in place of the blué one of the senior order. This, by the way, was not the last occasion upon which a Royal Knight of the Thistle was created, as Prince Arthur of Connaught is the "junior" Royal Knight at the present time. ,The Duke of Connaught is the doyen of the order. He was invested as long ago as in 1869. Port Colborne First. St. Catharines, May 2.--Port Col- borne is the only town in the Niagara district én which deylight saving went into effect yesterday.
