Sir John Macdonald announced be- fore prorogation that Parliament next year would be called together early in January. This made Mr. Mitchell think the government was going to hold three more sessions before April, 1892, when this Parliament legally ends. The Premier replied that he would consider the suggestion. PBOBOOATION. Prorogation ceremonies were rather dull and not at all brilliant. The Isdies wore ordinary street costumes and the Chamber was not full. His Excellency drove up at three o'clock in full uniform, not to be compared, however, iu magnificence to the red breeches, white silk stockings, and gilt buttons of the flunkeys. Lady Stan- ley arrived in a separate carriage driven bv coachmen whose breeches were white instead ol red. Altogether the dashing helmeted Dragoon Guards escort, the scarlet coated guard of honor, the brass band and the many colored coachmen, footmen and vice regal retainers, together T^ith the vast throngs on Parliament hill faurly eclipsed the spectacle in tho Eed Chamber of the Senate. OCCUPATIONS OF THE C3MU0NEBS. It is curious to note that of the 215 members of the House of Commons 59 are lawyers, 47 are merchants and members ot trading or financial cor- porations, 39 are farmers, 21 physic- ians, 11 lumbermen, 9 journalists, 7 manufacturers, 6 contraotors, 8 ship builders, 2 civil engineers. THE BOYAL BOCIETT. To-day the Koyal Society of Canada begins its arnual session 'in Ottawa. This is the pre-eminent literary and Bcientific society of the Dominion, the aristocracy of the study. The Presi- dent is Prof. L. W. Bailey of the uni- versity ot New Brunswick. He is.au M. A., Ph. D. and author of several scientific works, natural science being hw department. The sacretaiy of the Society, whose patron is the Governor General, is tha well known Dr. Bouri- not, olerk of the. Honse of Commons; Special to the Standard. The legislative sensation of the ses- sion was reserved for the Senate when it concluded its labors by rejecting the most importan!; government hill intro- duced to Parliament. That was the Short Line Railway bill by which the government undertook to construct at a total cost of two millions, 180 miles of road from Harvey. N. B., to Monc- ton, N. B., to be operated by the Can- adian Pacific in connection with the luternational into Halifax. Sir Charles Tupptr once promised that the C. P. R. would build the road and so when the C. P. li. put its debt conversion bill before Pnrliumeut certain mem- bers objected 10 ilie bill until the J. P. R. oonsentel to build the roai' The minister of justice himself headed the obstruction istd and the difficulty was finally adjusted by the bill introduced by Sir John Macdcuald and thrown out by the Senate. It will be seen that neither the Premier or the C. P. R. desii-ed the construction of the road, the Grand Trunk strenuously opposed it and three explanations of the Senate's unprecedented action are given: They acted independently; they acted against the wishes of the Premier they acted in accordance with the wishes of the Premier â€" take youi choice. The vote stood 22 against and 11 for t'le bill. Mr. Abbott, the leader of the Senate, is a C. P. E. di- rector and spoiie strongly lor the measiue. AJr. Frank Smith, also a member of ihe government in the Seuiite. irt a Grand Trunk director and worked :isaiust the bill, and as he, as a member of the government, could not openly vote lor the six montlis' h(.ist he stayed out of the Cliamber siU day. Mr. Walter Sbanly. tlie eiflineut engineer anil a ministerialist, exclaimed iu the House cf Coramons Jiextday: •'Thank God we have a Houee of Lords." He is, of couvse, a Grand I'ruuk man.
