A despatch trom' Torontu. tor'."- AT the opening of the Ontario Legis- lature on Wednesday, Sir Oliver Mowat was received " the Parliament build- ings by a guard of honour from the 10th Royal Grenadiers, under the com- mand of. Capt. Myers. His Honour entered the chamber preceded by his official secretary, Commander Law, and his A.D.C.. Lieut. Elmsley, R.C.D. Hon. A. S. Hardy' attended the Gover- nor, and in rear of chem came a pro- cession consisting of Lieut.-Col. Otter, Lient. Col. Delamere, Lieut.-Col. Cosby, Lieut.-Coi. Bruce, Captain For- rester, and Capt; Myles. Sir Oliver seemzd to be in good health, with the exception of a little weakness of the voiée. The speech read by him was worded as follows:- You have doubtless learned with "titdtustion that since you last met her Majesty has been pleased to ap- point the Earl of Minto, Governor-Gren- eral of Canada, as successor to the Earl of Aberdeen, on his resignation a few months before his full term of office had expired. I am confident the peo- ple ot Canada will find in the new Governor-General a constitutional rul- er who will represent her Majesty with ability and dignity in all the duties that pertain to his high office. Lord Aberdeen‘u departure from Canada was a source of sincere regret to the people of this province. By his deep interest in every matter affecting the prosperity and development of Canada, and by his wise and states- manlike administration of public, at- fairs he strengthened the attachment of Canadians to the Empire, and to the principles of constitutional govern- ment. The Countess of Aberdeen, too, spe- cially endeared herself to the Canadian people by the interest which she con- stantly exhibited in their social well- being and in everything which affected therprosperity of Canada. . THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR'S SPEECH AT THE OPENING. The decision of the Court ot Appeal upon the questions submitted to that court under the Act of last session, con- firming the right of poll constables and others, when otherwise qualified to vote at provincial elections, is doubt- less satisfactory to you all. DECREASED TIMBER REVENUE. The legislation of last year, which provided that all pine logs cut, on the Crown domain after the termination of the then existing timber licenses should be sawn in Canada, has been made effective by inserting the mant1- facturing condition in all renewals of licenses for the current year. In this connection I am pleased to be able to state that the cut of logs for ex- port by American limit holders tor the last license year did not appreci- ably exceed that of former years. It is anticipated that, by reason of the legislation referred to there will be a sensible reduction in the revenue to be derived during the. current year from timber sources. lt wilt, there- fore, be necessary to make provision by which any probable deficiency in the revenue may be otherwise made up: Measures to that end will' be sub- mitted for your consideration. It will be satisfactory to you to learn that the mining industry of the province continues to improve, and that it is giving oonstantly increasing employment to capital and labour. --._ ‘... ., , ---- sl,.,' un.,...,_,_..__ -- N, You will be gratified to learn that since your last session the province has assumed the administration of the provincial fisheries.
