He opened his remarks by referring to the ridicule with which his eflorte has been met. All money. in his opinion, was flat, and the epithet had no special applica- tion to paper money.

Mr. Macuxzu remarked that they had something to say on the items under the head of Public Works, Militia and Ocean and River Service, though the bulk of the items would be passed without discussion. As a great deal oi work had been done today. and as it was unnecessary to press unduly the matters remaining to be considered, it was advisable to adjourn.

The vote (or such expenditure and Committee expenses was 312,800 and if the return was correct this amount would not be suflicient.‘ Agreat many who were discharged on the 20th March had been re-appointed. It ap- peared that a very serious abuse had been committed. The cost of the extra clerks alone would be, as tar as he could judge, for the sessionlrom $25,000 to $30,000. Mr. Mums said no. Last year there were less than lorty unions! clerks employed and the session was nearly over before any were employed at all. He understood that this session the Clerk had asked for about a dozen, and that he received in the early part of the session forty. who for about a. mc nth had nothing to do, and that the number had since been Increased to a hundred. Sir Jami Macnozunn said his opinions had always been tLe same on this point. He thought it was a great mislortune that the labor of a convnct should be brought into competition with honest labot outside. and that such a View should be carried out as much as possible. Up to 1873 the previous Govern- ment had done away gradually with contracts in penitentiaries, which could only be done by degrees. He thought convicts should, as lax as possible. be employed in work as pro. fitsbls as possible to themselves. but should interfere as little as possible with honest labor outside the pcnltgntiary. l Mr. Mlcuuzu remarked that leet your there wee a dleeuulon on convict lebor. and the hon. gentlemen at the heed ol the Gov. ernmout peered some etrong otltleleme on the Government {or allowing eonvlote to oomelnto competition with outside tredee.

P.. eteted that in the city of New Weetmlneter. on the Meinlend. where he lived, there were three hundred permanent Chineee eettlere, who during the eelmon fish- ing eeeeon inoreeeed to about 1.200 or 1.600. They were engeged in oonneotion with the oenning ol eeimon. They eeme prinoipelly from Oregon. Wuhington Tenitog, end Oeillornie. The Ohinemen rennin there man. To a certain extent a limited number rot Ohinamen had been useful to the lprovince, but on the whole their immi- {gration ought to be discontinued. Their ‘ pig-tails were now out of! when they were imprisoned, but he did not think that this had any deterrent effect on their immigration. They gambled and had vicel, but he did not think that they were woree than the whites, though the women might be more lax intheir idea: oi morality. Their moat solemn term 01 oath wee taken over a piece of burned paper. but he would not trust much to their evidence. He disapproved of the local Act peeled to die- courage Chinese immigration. It went too far. When imprieoned, and they had to work out their finer. they ought to be allowed an ordinary day's wager, and not flit, centa a day1 aa wee providedin the Act. ‘ Senator Macnoueu), Victoria. B. 0., said he had heard it said that there were about 6,000 Chinese in the province. He did not think it desirable that Chinese immigration should be encouraged. Their habits and mode 01 living were altogether diflerent from those of Canadians. They did not affiliate with our people, nor was this desirable. They did not take root in the country. but carried all their earnings out o! it to China. ‘ A few who were able to buy one or two wives brought them. He had oflered white men 81.50 and they would not work for it, so he had been compelled to hire Chinemen at 81 25. The latter lived very economically, principally on ' dried fish. rice and fruits prepared by them- selves. They could live ior about half what . it would cost an Anglo-Baron. Those employed as servants received from 320 to 830 and $35 a month. They saved almost the whole of their money and took it to China. He would be very sorry to see Chinarnen employed on the Canada Pacific Railway, as it would prevent others irom working on it who would settle down in the country. They did not care about taking- any interest in our political aflairs. It they were not discouraged irom coming into the province the white population would not increase. They should not be engaged on public works. White labor could not compete with Chinese labor. The Chinamen were very uselul in opening manufactures. On the whole. he was opposed to Chinese immigration. They had been useful. as the Indians had formerly been. in clearing land, etc.. but it the number were augmented it would be a sericue drawback to the interests of the country. Men in British ‘ Columbia preferred to be idle. unless they were starving, than to take less than 82 a day. The first immigration of Chinamen . took place about 1858. There had not been any great increase lately. Some 800 had come direct from China last year. The Chinamen, as a rule. were equal to any white man. They were very industrious and not more immoral than were the white people. They were coming and going all the time. They very seldom stayed in the country longer than ten years. He had seen twenty or thirty Chinese children. He did not think that Chinese women were worse than white women. The white laboring classes felt very strongly on the sub- ‘jeet owing to the competition from the ‘Chinese, who would work more cheaply. ; Those who hired them as servants were well pleased with them. He had paid a servant girl 320 a month. but she had lelt him. and be replaced her by a Chinaman. whom he found more docile and tractable. A great many men in the country: wanted to get married, but there were not enough women in the country. The Chinamen were a most ndustrions people and set others a good example. He knew Chinamen who spent their money in the country. had become quite reconciled to it and had taken up with the English idea, as Christmas customs. etc. This was rather the exception than the rule. A good number were working in the chain-gang, and that was principally for selling liquor to the Indians and petty theits. They took a fancy to their_ neighbors’ hen-roosts about Christ. h‘-‘nnflâ€"-A_A-_-A-__H__ mo LEO 1""..0‘ Drawnâ€"The Special Commune appoint- ed to consider the question of Chinese immigration met this morning, with Mr, DeOoamoa in the chair.

Rial-k Twain vs. The Boae-Bell'ord Pub - linhlng Companyâ€"Alleged Violation 0! Copyright Law. Osmiumâ€"Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) commenced an attachment proceeding this morning against the Messrs. RoseBeliord Publishing Company. at this city and Toronto. The suit was brought under the N etional Copyright Law. The plaintifl complains that the defendant: did unlawiully cause to be published in the Dominion oi Canada certain copies of a work written by him, and copyrighted by him according to the laws of the United States. This book was known as “ Tom Sawyer." Then Mr. Clemens charges the defendants with importing into the United States. in violation of the copyright laws, 120 volumes 01 this book 60 being in cloth and 60 in paper. He asks that a warrant at iseizure be accordingly issued. These lama books were seized by special agent Binds (or duties, and aiter he had seized them he made the discovery that they were violation. 0! the copyright law. He reported these facts to Washington, and this morning received instructions from Secretary Sherman to keep a sharp look-out for all such violations here- 'aiter. and to seize all importatione which he gay tindto be violations oi the Copyright 0’. suits. The Committee than adjovmed. the white [opulatiom and he believed the consequence would be that in a quarter of a century of the 30,000 or 40,000 Indiana in Britieh Columbia not more than 6.000 would be alive. It was lulling them of! by hundreds every year. The Chinemen were boarded at 125 cents aday. while ordinary white laborers could not live on leee than 50 or 60 cents a day.
