March 22.â€"The annual budget speech of Mr. Emmerson on the work of the Department 0! Ball- ways and Canals occupied the atten- tion of the House throughout the whole of to-day's sitting. His speech lasting four hours and a. half, . was .the longest of the session, and the Minister at the end of it admitted that the effort had fatigued him. De- parting from the practice of former years he did not confine himself en- tirely to the afiairs of the Inter-coloâ€" nial Railway, but spent a good deal of time discussing the Various canal works throughout the Dominion. HOWOVer, the affairs of the I.C.R. iormed his principal theme, and he endeavored to show that the working of that feed was satisfactory, and that the propects for the future were bright. Hr. Haggart, Dr. Reid (Grenville), Hr. Haggart, Dr. Reid (Grenville), and Dr. Daniel demonstrated that the condition of afiairs was not by any means as rOSy as the Minister had endeavored to ,make out. Mr. Laverg'ne (Montmag-ny) brought up the question of the report of the Royal Commission being printed in both languages. The matter was allowed to stand until the chairman of the Printing Committee should be present. On motion of Sir Wilfrid Lander. it was resolved that when the House aid Children’s Footwear.

Mr. Emmerson made his bud- ; get speech concerning the lwpanment 1 of Railways and Canals This budget 1 speech, he pointed out. had hitherto 1 practically been confined to the afâ€" 1 fiairs of the Intercolonial Railway. He had felt. however, that this year he should make some departures from 1 that practice,. and direct the atten- tion of theHouse to the affairs of 1 the department generallv, as there had been such an unusual expansion in the jurisdiction of the department. Mr. Emmerson mentioned that the wank of the department had been my creased by the establishment of the Railway Commission and the Trans- continental Railwax. In the depart- ment there were 13000 employes of all classes. Statistics “ere. ghen by the Minister of the expenditure on wax- ‘ious canal works in ditlerent parts oil lthe Dominionâ€"works on which, he‘ said, many millions‘of dollars were being spent annuallv. In regami to the growth of the de- partment, he cited the expenditure in regard to subsidies on rail-w'ays.
