THE DOMINION HOUSE, SEVENTH PARLIAMENT - FOURTH SESSION AT OTTAWA. CIVII. SERVICE. Mr. Costigan introduced a bill further to amend the Acts inspecting the Civil Seivit*. The object of the measure was to re-enact the AJ-- of 1892, which expired the first o f this month, nod which provides that any person in the employment of the service on the first of Jmly 1WK!, and who has since been continuously engaged then in, mty be promoted without passing the Civil Service examination sinct prescribed, but subject to certain regulation*. The bill wa* read a Krat time. gCKBSC S0BSIDIKS. Sir John Thompson moved the third reading of a bill respecting certain subsidies granted to the (iovemment of the Province of Quebec by chapter 8 of the statute* ol MM. Mr. Laurier said the bill should contain a stipulation as to what purpose the money* were to be applied to. He therefore movst in amendment that the bill be referred back to the Corr.nvtUse of the Whole with instruction to amend it so as to provid that the sn 1 sum shall be paii according to the provisions of the statutes of the Pro- vince of Quebec, 49 Victor:*, chapter -, namely, into the fund created for thi redemption oi the loan effected under th< provision* of 37 Victor**, chapter 2. and shall be applied to the payment of so much of the loan made iu virtue of that Act, and shall form pact of a sinking fund created lor the redemption of that loan. Sir John Thompson said the Province of Quebec wa* about to make an arrangement by which this money snail b paid for the redemption ot tbe debt. The Dominion Government considered ".hat the payment was properly safe-guarded, and the partien- Ur portion of the public debt to which the money shall be applied, wa* a matter that they thought wa* in the care of the province itself. Xo charge ha* been ma<ie that the province meant to misappropriate any of the money, and for the Dominion to \y that the money ihould be used only in a rtain way would be most offensive to the provmce.and would intimate that the province might engeil. He had given hia evidence under >ath, and the report of the House hid been n Ins favour. The hon. gentleman who lad just spoken wanted to tiy him again. i'hat was not justice. (Hear, hear.) It torthe House and the c >untry to say whether* he was, to be singled out and tried n this way. This wa* the first time in this ountry, ami be thought in any British coan'.ry, tht a man in hi* or the moet nimble position hail been tried a second time (hear, hear) and when he gave his evidence without or with an oath, he did HO to the best of his ability, and if he made mistakes it was not wittingly, but because hit memory failed him. He knew nothing about the payrnnnt of elaction expenses. If it was done, it wa* done Iwhind hia back. When he drew on McGreevy for money, he drawing on money he had deposited with him. The money was not for the pur pose of buying votes. Without going into detail* he left the case in the hands of th" House. It knew how the case stood in 1891, and to-day the charges were brought! to try him a second time. He had no doubt the verdict of the House would be sanction- ed by tbe country. (Applause ) The amendment waa defeated by 10-J to (55. *KISISi; AND TKAWLINii. Sir Charles H. Tupper. in answer to Mr. (iiliies, said the Government bad entered into a convention with tbe United States which, though not dealing specifically with the subject of purse saining and trawling beyond the three-mile limit, contemplated a joint investigation, which was BOW pro- ceeding, and wn:ch would 'leal with those subjects. No action would be taken until the commissioner* had reported. [-AKE KKIE FISHERIES. Mr. Tisdale, on motion logo intosupply, read correspondence between the Lake Krie fishermen and the Department of Fisheries, and quoted statistic* at length to show that the th* regulation* of the de- partment respecting ashing in Lake Kne were unduly severe and stringent. He contended that there was no reason for issuing regulation* for the redaction ef the number ot nets. About August last year seven American tugs, with about 30 milea of nets, had been ti.hmg within the Caaa dian limit. There was no sufficient reason for prohibiting whilefishand aalmon tialiing in November. No* only were many fisher- men thrown out of employment, but com- munities suffered in consequence. The tctal number of men employed on the Can- adian aide of the lake in IV9 waa 45, and on the American *ida 2,181. In the same year the value of the appliances on the Canadian side was $llu,<)0 and on the American side $851,000. The quantity of riih caught on the Canadian side in IVJ3 was 9,000,i)<JO pounds, and on the American iir. John Thompson said the petitions presented to the House on the subject by the people of the North-West were very numerous, and had been considered to the Minister of Itailways and other member) of the Government, and the complaints con- tained therein had been transmitted to the Canadian Pactac Railway Company. The c.imcany had set out their defence in a letter dated June 14th last, and directed to the Minister of Railways. Freight rates on different sections of the roml in the North- West were quoted, and varied from Jl cents to 23 cants per hundred pounds. The director* believed theae late* were lower than those of any railway in auy other part nf the world operated under aimilar conditions, sod considering that four-fifths of the car* engaged in the grain transpor- tation had to he hauled back empty, and also the high cost of fuel, they did not think the rates covered more than the actual cost of transportation. They were unable to see how the rates could be reduced. The company also said that considering th) u-ijust and narciaonable clamor in some quarters about the high rates, they would b gla.i if the Government would undertake an independent investigation of the freight charges and co nptio them with those of other grain-producing countries. The House went into Committee of Supply. coi- POWELL. Mr. Lanrier, on the item for the Mi'.itia Department, asked if Col. Walker Powell is discharging the duty of Adjutant-General of Milina. Mr. Patterson i Huron) I have no official information upon the subject. Mr. Laurier I thought the hon. gentle- man was head of the department. Mr. Patterson (Huron) I am asking for information on the aubject, which I will shortly be able to furnish to the House. FACTS IN FEW WORDS. A race hone clears from 20 to - H feet at bound.

Another representation made <o Kngland was that cattle train* would be uti'ler the control of Dominion Government officials, who would accompany them on their journny across the country, yet never once was this regulation enforced. The pledge was grossly violated. The inspection " was. absolutely ineffectual. Tba < lovernment j l i absolutely i sanctioned the inspection of whole train loads of cattle by night. Thousands and thousands of cattle were imported into Canada irom the infected district* of the United Stales in open violation of theee regulations. He moved in amendment that the Government wan deserving of censure j for negligence in not taking measures to convince the Imperial Government that proper precautions were taken to inspect American cattle in transit through Canada, and thus remove the scheduling of Canadian cattle. Mr. Ive* said the hon. gentleman not shown 'hat the Imperial authori- ties were dissatisfied with tbe transit regulations adopted by Canada. Never bad the Imperial government written a letter on the subject complaining of the regulations, so there was no ground for the chsrge of the hon. gentleman.
