Nx. Mr. Ouimetâ€"The correspondence already set on foot with the Imperial authorities is met concluded, an answer not having been Mr. Foster suid the Department of Agriculture was in responsible hands, and was being administered by a member of the Government, and the hon. gentleman would have to repose faith in the Govâ€" ernment, und their interest in the farmers. TE CITY OF® MIDLAND. Mr. Wailace, replying to Mr. Edgar, stated that the steamer City of Midiand, belonging to the North Shore Navigation Compuny, was seized at Collingwood on July J9th, 1894, on a charge of having landed at that port two barrels of oil, which had been entered tor use on board us «hip‘s stores. The sum of $400 was exacted before the release of the vessel, and the value of the oil, with duty added ‘ had been deposited to the credis of the Receiverâ€"General. The remainder of the penalty had heen remitted to the vessel‘s owners, as the evidence established the fact that they had no knowledge of and did not authorize the removal of the oil. This was done by the engineer of the vessel with a view of providing oil for an excarâ€" wion steamer which had none on board. THE CATTLE SCHEDULEL Mr. Sproule enquired whether, in view of the change in Government in England, und the sppointment of a new Fresident of the Board of Agriculture, it is the intention of the Government to renew the application for the removal of the schedule against the importaticn of Canadiar cattle to that country without having them slaughtered at the port of debarkation.â€" : Mr. Casey asked if the Government intended to till the vacent portfolio of Agriculture. Farmers were very anxious whout the matter. Sir Charles H. Tupper regretted that the hon. gentleman hud given way to such deplorable temper, and uttered #uch misâ€" erable insinuations by way of vilifying an wbsent man. He contended that the hon. gentleman could not cite m parallel case in the British House of Commons for his attiâ€" tude toâ€"day. Sit Heury Jumes, who would be accepted as an authority on the etiquette of British law or parliamentary ractice, considered that a member of the fiom should not advocate in the House a emuse for which he was the puid advocate outside of the House,. (Hear, hear.) He made the statement on the best precedent and stood by his position. . (Applause.) MINISTEER OF AGRICULTURE, be perfctly willing to answer,. 1 am not called upon were to disclose my professional dealings with any man or with any Governâ€" ment. From him or any of his name it was the last to be expected that an attack would come. The history of Canada had been disgraced by the action of the hon, gentleman and his conn«ctions from first to last. (Cries of ""Order.") Hehad not thought the hbon. gentleman would taunt him with having been subsidized. He could point out in return that the hon. gentleman sat in the House and Council wad voted annually to his father 12,000. What justification could hefind tor it? He hud desired to avoid such references, but he desired also to let the hor gentleman know, and other hon. gentiemen too, that he was able to take care of himself when: he was sssailed. 1 Sir Charles F. Tuapperâ€"Are those the only occusions on which you advised the Manitobs Government ? Mr. McCarthyâ€"When the hon. gentleâ€" man has a right to interrogate me, I will be perfctly willing to answer, 1 am not the conmection which he had had on two different occasions with the Manitoba Governmentâ€"one in defining the constituâ€" tionality of the Act of 1890, which was not now in question, and another of appearing in his professional capacity to oppose the passage of the remedial orderâ€"in the slightest degree disqualified him. . Manitoba Government was, he would venture to say, unjust, unparliamentry, and without ome title of justification. (Hear, hear.) Hiwright in the House he knew pertectly well, and the hon. gentieâ€" man could find no precedent to say that Mr, McCarthy thought the House would tolerate him in answering a personal attack made on hbim by the hoo. Minister of Justice. It was a poor case that required to be sustuined by personul vituperation and abuse, He did not think he had said one word in & rather long and perhaps tedious speech that could have been treated by the hon. member as offensive, dertainly he did not intend any offence. And forthe hon. gentleman to get up in the presence of the House and tell him that he was taking w position that was unwarranted by reason of his professional connection with the After speeches by Hon. Mr. Foster and Messrs, Uuimet, McCarthy, Oliver, Gizâ€" ouard, and Belley, the division was taken and the amendment was rejected by 114 to 70. The annoancement of the figures was received with cheers by the supporters of the Government. question in & manner demanded by the best interests of the country, and is of opinion that the Ministerial declarations in regard to this question are calculated to promote & dangerous agitation among the Cannscian nounts." Mr. Laurier at the conclasion of & long speech, moved the following amendment :â€" **This House regrets the failure of the Govâ€" ernment to deal with the Manitoba school Filth Sessionâ€"The Seventh Parliament. EXEMPT PROM INSURANCE ACT. Mr. Foster introduced a bill to authorize the Treasury Board to exempt certain ocieties from the operation of an Insurâ€" unce Act, such as those of engineers, con ductors, and brakesmen, who had among themselves an association for imsuring syainst death and sccidents, confined enâ€" tirely to their own members. These were wcts of men who were prohibited from inâ€" suring in gemeral societies, either by the companies themselves or by reasons of the excessively high rates exacted from men in their hazardous calling. The bill was read a first time. WRECK or THE MEXICO. Mr. McMecllen asked whether the Govâ€" ernment had received any offictal informaâ€" tion of the wreck of the steamer Mexico off the Straits of Belle Isle. The vessel conâ€" tained the first cargo of dairy produce sent from Canada by cold storage. He wished order was & Mr. make carrie LIABILITY OF RAILROADS. Mr. Baggart, in answes to Mr. Bryson, said the Goverament had not decided to Fh« his bill on the Government orders. The bill was one that required a good deal of preparation and must becarefally drafted. Ti object of the bill, to provide for the speedy payment of wages eight or nine months overdue to railway labourers, was worthy of consideration, Such a bill ought to be introduced in some way or another, but care must be taken to protect railway. from possibleattempts to levy blackmails Mr. Costigan said he had received a telegram stating that the vessel had been wrecked and was in danger of being plunâ€" dered, and a request for a Government steamor was made to aid in protecting the wreck. He had found there was no danger to life involved, and all the ctew had been taken off, and he did not think it a case where the Governmont steamship should be sent. Furthermore,no Government steamer was available. to know whether the company intended to make an immediate provision tor another shipment, and what was the Government‘s intention with regard to further experiâ€" ments in the matter.

Tuapperâ€"Sir Charles Hibbert Tupper recieved no payment from the Eritish or any Government in connecâ€" tion with his services on the Behring Sea arbitration, and I might say that Sir John Thompson and myself were the only officers connected with the British or Canadian Government who did not receive compenâ€" sation. All the arbitrators except Sir Joan Thompson received £1,000 sterling as remuneration for their services. %he Attorneyâ€"General of the British Governâ€" ment received the usual professional fees for his services over and above his salary as Attorneyâ€"General, and the officers of the British Government and the officers of the Canadian Government connected with that work were also paid compensation in addition to their ordinary salaries, Sir John Thompson and myself receiving . nothing but our expenses. Incidentaily I may say that Sir John Thompson lost a large portion of his sessional allowance, and I ll:t the whole of mine. Mr. Speaker drew attention to the faet that although in the tariff of the United States dressed lumber appeared to be free of duty, the Soard of Appraisers of the United States had construed lumber dressed upon the edges, or tongued and grooved, as a manutactured article, and subject to a duty of 25 per cent. He did not see why the manufucturers in the United States should be put in any better position than the manufacturers in this country with reâ€" gard to this matter, and he approved of the Government‘s action. srR CHas.

Mr. Foster said he had just received a telegram from the Premier, who had very recently been informed by the Belgian Conâ€" sul that the Belgian Government would permit experimental shipments of Canadian cattle to Belgian ports during October, November, and December, and would reâ€" move the embargo altogether if no pleuroâ€" pueamonia was discovered. The House then went into Committee of Ways and Means. Mr. Foster moved the amendment of the Customs‘ Act by adding the following item to schedule A of the Act :â€" Mr. Lachapelle saked if it was true that the Belgian embargo on Canadian cattle had been raised. Sir Charles H. Tupper said the house would accept the hou, gentleman‘s stateâ€" ment. There did not appear to be the slightest evidence to warrant the insinuaâ€" tion made against the hon. gentleman. Mr. Corbould made &n explanation in reply to a charge made against bim in & stutement filed at the Department of Justice by the late deputy warden of the British â€" Columbin _ penitentiary. _ A commission _ was _ appointed . to _ enâ€" quire into the affairs of the penitenâ€" wiary aad in consequence of the reâ€" port of the commissioner the deputy warden was dismissed. In the papers brought down the deputy warden accused him (Mr. Corbould) of being one of a syndicate interested in the removal of the penitentiary to & site owned by himself and friends. This scheme, the deputy warden claimed, was blocked by himself, und in consequence he provoked his (Mr. Corbould‘a) resentment. _ He read the statement complained of, and characterized it, aa well as the statement to the same etfect by the late Inspectorof Penitentiaries, ue utterly false. He had noinerest sither directly or indirectly in the property referred to, nor to the best of his knowledge had aov of his friends, received to the representations made in the last report by the Minister of Agriculture. It is the intention to continue to press the claim of Canada in this matter. PUELICATIONX oF BRTS. Sir Charles H. Tupper, in Committee of the Whole, proponf to amend the clause of the Criminal Code relating to betting and bettingâ€"houses by making it clear that newspapers may publish the results of races, etc., without coming within the provisions of the code respecting houses kept for that purpose, * wote NMr. Taylor wished to refute the charge of cowardice made against him in the Farmâ€" ers‘ Sun recently, respecting bis remarks in the House as to the combine between the Canada Cordage Company and the Farmers‘ Binder Twine Company. . He was prepared to prove his statements, and would be glad to do so before a committee of the House next session. BETS onl s enc Mr. Foster said there was considerable opposition to the bill in the country, and that the best thing to do was to consider it more carefully, aod deal with it next session probably, At best, the measure could only be operative a few months earlier, and nothing would be lost by deâ€" ferring the matter, He moved that the debate be adjoctned. The motion was carried. “'F n e he amendmcnt was carmed, and the committee reported progress. ERANDING OP CHEESE Mr. Montague moved the second reading of the bill to amend the Dairy Products Act. It had for its ebject the branding of cheese with the month of manufacture, the idea being to prevent the lowering of the reputation of Canadian products by selling the make of one month as that of wnother. Circulars had been sent out to those interested in the trade, but the replies were contrad.ctory. Although the weight ef eviderce seemed to be in favour of sume such proposal, the opinion against was sufliciently strong to warrant the Agricultare Committee, to whom the bill was referred, in not reporting any particuâ€" lar decision to the House. There was & good deal to be said on both sides of the question. It was a matter in which the dairymen were very much interested, and as the discussion was not very thorough when the bill was introduced by Mr. McLennan, bill. It was unfortunate his measure, which wasendorsed by 90 per cent. of the farmers of the country, should be blocked at this stage. lt was unfair that Prof, Robertson‘s opinion should prevail against the opinion ot the farmers and cheesemen of the country, ols Mr. McLenuan explained theamendments that ha i been made since the bill was last hefore the House as a private measure, . It was now proposed that the bill should not wpply to butter. . Each cheese factory would have to register with the Dairy Commissioner,and would receive a consecuâ€" tive number. This would obviate the necessity of having inspectors. . Uut of 778 replies to the circulars sent out only 64 were opposed to the branding of cheese. He went on to quote the resolutions passed by various bodies interested in the dairy industry, in order to show that there was an overwhelming feeling in favour of the it had been transfered to the Government orders, which wonld enable the measuce to receive the consideration it deserved, to the advantage of the dairy interests, . The bill was now before the gau-e. either with a view to its being passed this session or that it might be discussed with a view of it« adoption at another time. & ELGIAN CATTLE EMBAR RDAGKE COMEINK ~‘The necessary legislation having been rnod,tho treaty of commerce with France, rom which favourable commercial resulte may be expected, will, as scon as ratified, be put into force by proclamation.

Mr. D.ckey said that the Imperial auâ€" thorities had been communicated with, but there was a difficulty in the way, as there were two services in Great Britain, the volunteer and the militia, and the long service medal was given only to the former. The Canadian force was really a volunteer one, although it was called militia, and the Imperial authorit.es were afraid if it was recogaized as m volunteer force the militia in Australia, where they had also two services, volunteers and militia, might claim the same privilege. 4 An Act respecting the St. Catharines and Niagara Centisl Railway Company, and to change the name of the company to the Niagara, Hamilton, and Pacific Railway Company. e An Act to amend chnptér 10 of the Statutes of 1892, respecting the Hurbour Commissioners of Three Rivers.
