(Specml to The Post.) Sinâ€"Ina few words I wish to convey some idea of Manitoba as the Ontario mansees it in thespring time. I ,write more particularly of the district lying between Carberry and Neepuwa -â€" the Carberry Plains. This is: probably the best district in the province, for though not as heavy as Portage Plains, is more easily worked, much earlier, espeicially in a Wet spring like this, and less liable to frost. The soil is a rich sandy loam and the country has just enough roll to give drainage. Among the most prominent and most extensive firmers might be mentioned Mr. Adam McKenzie, Mr. Barnes and Shaw Bros, formerlyl mill-owners in Garden, but residents of Woodstock. The pioneer house of the Plains still shelters its first ownerâ€"Mr. Switzer, who came from Bruce county twenty years ago. Your correspondent had an interesting chat with Mrs. Switzer, who is still hale and hearty. and talks inter- estingly of what was once called “The Great Lone Land." A school section nine miles north-west of Carberry was last , year sold for $8,000, and good improved iarms come pretty high here if they lie near the railroad. - To the Ontario bred man this country seems anything but pleasant until he becomes accustomed to the climate. It is always extremely somethingâ€"either extremely hot or extremely cold, ex- tremely wet or extremely dry, extreme- ly windy or extremely calm, and you may have the whole series in the space of a. single day, with an accompaniment of rain, hail, snow- and sunshine. Though the greater part of. the wheat is in there has been little growth until yesterday, (May 23rd). On May 16th we had a bitterly cold north-east wind, with sleet, snow and rain- at the same time. Since then, however, it has been quite warm and pleasant, or rather, it would be pleasmt were it not for that ravenous and. multitudinous in- sect, the mosquito, who made himself prominent for the first time on May 20th, and now already one can. hardly tell the color of his horses at certain times of the day. . , But one of the most wonderful trans- formations I have ever witnessed has been happening during the last two days. I never before fully appreciat- ' ed the quotation, "The magic hand.‘ of ' Summer clad the landscape to the eye.” On Tuesday morning everything looked still quite cold and dead; the early wheat was just noticeable to one driv- ing along the read; there was no 7.gree.n grass except in the spots where the water had laid for some time, and though the trees were in bud there was not a leaf to be seen. Then came .a warm, gentle rain from the south, and before night the wheat had made remarkable progress; the grass looked green where it was not. covered by long .course dead stuff of last year’s growth ; the trees (poplar and willow) which twelve hours before were quite leaf- less, were now out in full uniform. The green tinge was noticeable on bluffs amile or two away, and to climax :ilI,I - noticed two varieties of flowers. The prairie is getting beautiful againâ€"it must have been waiting so as to cele- brate the Queen’s birthday. One more remarkable thing Ihave noticed, though we have just had one week of warm weather, as yet, (1 still wear my winter clothing) I have no- ed and almost ready to fly. I think they are young snow-birds, but am no sure. ' H.

To Expedite the Work of the Session 80 Would Have the Redistribution Bill Withdrawnâ€"Premier Opposed to Making Any Change In Plan Regarding That Important “ensure. Ottawa, May 29.â€"On Saturday In the Sir Henri Joly introduced a bill respecting the inspection of petroleum nd naphtha, and one to amend the Gen- pectlon Act with respect to the pection of Wheat. The Minister of Agriculture denied that his words regarding the packing of apples structlon that he charged the farmers with fraudulent packing. The packing had been done by. jobbers. The American Negotiations. After routine. Sir Charles Topper brought up the question of the Anglo- Amerlcnn commission. He said the state- ment made by the Premier the previous day that the reassembiing of the com- mission depended upon the Alaskan boundary question being removed from the arena of discussion by the diplomatic action of the two Governments removed the dllficulty he had felt in talking of the matter. From the Inception of this ques- tion he (Sir Charles) had treated it as one above and beyond party. He read with great satisfaction that the peace practically agreed to Sir Julian Pounce- fote's proposal of a board of international arbitration for the Settlement of questions commission assembled at The Hague has I the United States and Great Britain ware parties to the peace conference, It would be most unreasonable to suppose they would not agree to submit the Alaska boundary question to arbitration. He assumed. therefore, that at this moment we could look hopefully forward to the reassembling of the Anglo-American commission on the 2nd of August. Sir Charles then dealt with an article in The New York Sun of May 14. which stated that the difficulty with respect to the Anglo-American conference reaching a servative party, which embarrasses the Government in dealing with these ques- tions. Sir Charles said that all he (Sir Charles) had stated In the House. or out of It. was quite at variance with that statement. For instance, there was the statement that Canada occupies the position which rendered her absolutely Independent of the United.Sta.§es; they. .nlthough~ It is most desirable these questions snoum be settled on a fair and satisfactory basis, such, fortunately for us, is our pcsition that we are not compelled to make any undue concessions to our great neighbors to the south. That statement was the strongest card the commissioners coull play. Then there was the pOWer which had held that by exercising that power we could cut of! the supply from which the Americans manufacture a large part of the paper used in the world, and transfer its manufacture to Canada, where we had an enormous advantage by reason ofour great water power and transportation facilities. As to mining rights, Canada was in the pasition that it was of more importance for Americans to obtain min- ing privileges in Canada than for Cuna- dians to have similar privileges in the United States, so that it was in the interests of the United States to assimil- ate the mining laws of the two countries I I so as to make their privileges common. We had, also, the advantage of practically controlling the supply of nickel. There- fore. taking all these questions into consideration, it would be. seen that the attitude of the Conservative party upon them would not only not interfere with the British commissioners during the negotiations, but Was calculated to strengthen their hands when the negotia- tions should be resurncd. This being the case, his object in men- tioning these matters was that ho pro- posed to meet the lender of the Govern- ment with a flag of truce, to suggest means by which Sir Wilfrid would beleft more free to proceed with the work of the commission, which be regarded as no mere party question. He would suggest that, under the circumstances, Sir Wilfrid should withdraw the redistribution bill, have it published for the benefit of the country, and allow the business of the session to be promptly closed by the dis- posing of all the other questions now before the House, in order that the Gov- ernment might give the necessary care and attention to the work of the commis- sion, and furnish themselves with the most minute Information to strengthen the case with which they were charged However. he would not expect the leader of the House to reply at once. In conclusion, Sir Charles observed he was sure the leader of the Government Would vindicate him from the charge in The New York Sun that the modus vivendi proposed by the United States would have been accepted by the British commissioners but for the four of the hostility of the Conservative party, because. when Sir Wilfrid consulted him in reference to what Canada proposed, he had, given him assumpce of hearty sup- port‘ in the attitude the Government had assumed. He hoped. too, the Government t x would receive his suggestion in the spirit I in which it was oflered, and give it the l “moâ€"M consideration to which it was clearly entitled. sli- Wilfrid Lamrier’a Statement. Sir Wilfrid Laurlerâ€"Mr. Speaker, we on this side of the House may be par- doned, I am sure, for some feeling of satisfaction at the language just spoken by my hon. friend (Sir Charles Topper). The wisdom of the course which I took In the month of February, Instead of breaking suddenly the negotiations of the Anglo-American commission. has been fully vindicated by What the hon. gentleman has jIJSII said. If I were allowed to refer to a past debate I might call the attention of the House to the fact that in the debate on the address my hon. friend took a. very difl‘erent position. and stated that the mpment we could not ~ come to an agreement With our fellow- oommissioners representing the United States we should have broken negotia- tions and come home. We thought that - this course was not the course which I should be followed under the circum- = stances. Sir Charles Tapperâ€"But that is prao- - tically what you did. judging from your 3 statements in the House on Friday. You _ said you would not go on with the nego tiations until the other questions were removed. Sir Wilfrid Laurlerâ€"When we left we referred the question of the Alaska boundary to our respective Governments. and stated then to the world thatii' would be useless to blennlessthil matter had been of. _ I sated at thetimetomy hon. friend and totbe.

We would not with the other matters needing consideration. but wn hoped that when we assembled again on the 8nd of August the British and the American Governmen . by their respec- tive authorities, woul have been able t: perform what we had not been able tc arm; that is to my, settle the ques- tion of the Alaskan boundary. We , thought that, of all the measures that had been referred to us, that was tbs most important. We might have gone on with some other questions. but, pending that, we thought it would not be advis- able in the best interests of Canndata proceed with other questions If that question could have been settled one way or the other. we could have proceeded with other questions, giving more or receiving more, as the question was settled one way or the other. There were only two ways of settling It. One was by compromise. We did not agree as to the location of the boundary which has been defined by the treaty of 1825 betwaen Great Britain and Russia. We, represerting Great Bri- tain. and the Americans, representing Russia. did not agree as to the location of the boundary on the ground.‘ We claimed that the boundary passed at one point, while the Americans contended that it passed at another. If we could compromise by giving and taking. I say without hesitation. the manner In which we would settle it. by giving more and accepting less would be of material aid In the solution of other questions before us. either one way or the other. But we could not come to an understanding upon that question, and there was nothing to do but to refer It to arbitration. We mn- not. of course, force our fellowâ€"commie sioners to come to an understanding with us. But there is one thing that must be doneâ€"if- we cannot come to an under standing. the matter should be referred . to arbitration. When it. Is referred to arbitration, It Is then put of ,theway, and We can resume our sitting anu goon I with the other questions. I shall regret . very much If the matter has to be { referred to arbitration. Instead of our . reaching a compromise. I should prefer ' to have a fair and honorable compromise, i by which both parties would relinquish .' claims in order to have a settlemnt. l Having taken that ground, I may pm- ceed to say that if this matter of the I Alaskan boundary Is removed from the questions entrusted to the commlsslon. I and if We resume our negotiations upon , matters still remaining over, and there are some of great moment. I say frankly that I do not expect that we can settle them all perhaps as I would like them to be settled myself. to the extreme limit of i our rights and pretensions; but I have hopes that we can settle the most, If not all. of those questions, In an honorable and satisfactory manner to both coun- . tries. I do not expect that we can get all that we are contending for, but I expect that We can make an honorable setth ment, such a settlement as will intensify the good feeling w bich now prevails be tween Great Britain and the United States. Now I can acquit my hon. friend alto- ' gether from the nspersions made upon ' him by the editor of The Sun. I can say that anything he has done or has not done had nothing to do with the non- success of the negotiations But I must take exception, at all events. to the sug- gestion which he made to us. I do not believe that either In the future or in the past any policy of retaliation towards the will have any effect In settling our dlfli- culties with them. But I am quite as much in earnest as my hon. friend-him- self in this respwo, man we must stand upon our rights and upon our dignity. but standing upon our rights and upon our dignity does not call upon us to enter upon a policy of hostility to the United States Even though the United States sometimes try our patience very much, even though they sometimes more than try our patience. still I think it would be the port of wisdom In us under such cir- cumstances to continue to be patient and not allow ourselves to be moved by any sentiment of irritation. If we resume our negotiations, as I believe we shall, I think we are in a fair way of making a treaty which can be settled In a. very few days. _ Now my hon. friend led up to a con- clusion for which I must say I Was not prepared. He made these international negotiations a basis upon which to ask us to withdraw the redistribution bill. Well. the ground Is a broad one for such a request. For the present I must my that I am not prepared to withdraw the redistribution bill. I am quite prepared to consider his suggestion. I owe to him, occupying the position he does in this House, I owe it to him to place the matter before my colleagues and before my party, and we will give it the best con- sideration. But if we are to spend the summer at Ottawa, I do not think it will be in the legitimate discussion of the redistribution bill. Although I think the bill Is drawn upon a fair basis, I do not pretend that all Its details are perfect; I do not know that we may not be able to make some Improvement in it, and to that end we will listen to the suggestions that are made to us. All this is a matter for consideration In the committee. But I say that the measure as it has been pmposed Is one which Is fair in Its. terms, and which ought to win the oom- { mandation of both sides of the House. I : do not see why, if the measure should Y receive a fair criticism, it should not be ' disposed of in a few days. But the hon. gentleman has made me a suggestion , which, I repeat, coming from one having I the authority which he has In this House, ' resting not only upon his official position, a but upon his long experience and long service in Parliament, a suggestion I ; intendformypart to beat withgreat- , and I shall askmyfriendsas' well to give it their best consideration But more than this. I know my hon. friend does not expect me to my to-day. ().J.C. RACES. - I Record of the Final Day at the Toronto Spring Meet. Woodbine Park.
