When f House rejected Sir Richard Cart- i,fs aineudnient for free trade in ' .saiies d life by 60 yeas and 97 stLe House weut into cone mif.tee of Tfsvs and Means on the tariff chai-Res l' the discussion on encb item was Throad iis ou the budget itself lu re- 'ect to trade matters. Unrestricted Pecicrocity was the key note of the Opposition Foug and finally the xiinister of Finance got up and de- lared tbe Government had coaie to Jije conckftion alter years of willing- ness tbat it was useless to longer ex- pect the United States to agree to ,acli au arrangement "and," he con- Mned,"tbe Government thinks this country should tread out a path for Itself."' This announcement was re- ceived with ringing cheers by the jlinisterialists. The item under con- 'ideration was a duty of 30 per cent. "on live cattle, sheep and hogs and the Opposition had been arguing that the tax was unnecessary because (^auada had a surplus of these animalb and the effect of the duty would be to pro- voke the Americans to impose a like duty on our live stock, at present a verv important trade with the United States. In reply to Mr. Foster, Sir Bicbard Cartwright made an exciting little speech in which he said that two years ago Sir Charl.efl Tupper came over from England and took the Ministry by the neck and compelled them to abandon a policy of relation- Bhip against the United States and enact reciprocity on fruit trees and shrubs. Hon. Mr. Bowell emphatically denied t'lat the Government was again entering on any policy of relationship and cbarged that the course of the Oppwbition excited hostility in the United States. This will give an idea of tbe character of the general dis- cussion, Tlie Maritime memDers came to the front Friday nisht on the items of 17i per cent, on rice and 75 cents a Lanell on flour. Hon. Peter Mitchell denounced these taxes till be was actually hoarse. There were several amusing "spats" between Peter and Dr. Cameron of Inverness. It must be borne in mind that tho' Mr. Mit- chell lives in Montreal he sits for a New Brunswick county. At two o'clock in the morning this duty on nee or rather the way it was divided 60 roused the ire of Sir Eichard Cart- wright that he gave the Government a tongue threshing, all round and cbarged that the Government in colleuting election funds in the Red Parlor of the Queen's Hotel. Toronto, from the manufacturers were "robbers" Hon. Mr. Bowell stigmatized this language as "infamous" and Cart- wright hotly remarked in an under- tone after sitting down, "I know, too. who these contributors are and I'll sattlo accounts with them some day " The reporters came very near being furnished with a personal encounter between two members of the House. General Laurie who sits for Shelburue, -^. S. is temporarily resident in Eng- land with his family and left there to come to Ottawa. On his arrival he gave his residence to tbe Accountant as "England." As members get two cents a mile for coming to and going froca the Capital at the opening and closing of Parliament the Accountant took advice but afterwards paid Gen. Laurie $600 as mileage from England. Ur. McMuUen from North Wellington gave Laurie notice that he would briug the matter befoi e the House bat on Friday before McMuUen took bis feet Laurier rose and gave the above explanation of the matter. At six o'clock they meet in the corridor when tbe following colloquy took place â€" "You stole amarchonme. General." "RlcMuUtn, you're a sneak." "You're a scoundrel." "You're an infernal sneak." "You're an infernal scoundrel." "I've a mind to kick you." "You're not fit." Enter the Minister of Customs â€" "Yes, General, I'd do it if I were yon." McMullen â€" "Neither of you are fit to do it." Enter Dr. Laukerkin of Grey â€" "Come away McMullen" (leading him off.) Result They never speak as they pass by. Sir John Thompson's bill amend- uig the criminal law makes it an offence punishable by two years in the penetentiary for a guardian to sednce bis ward or an employer or foreman bis employe in a fact^ory, mill or work- shop it she is nnder 21 years. Blake. thought 21 too low and the Minister agreed to raise it to 80. This wan opposed by Peter Mitchell for feat d blackmail but Mr. Nicbolaa Flood Pmu, batchelor, opposed it Ueaiue be thought men needed _ip6teotk8 l^m designing women. tbat women were often as fascinating at 35 as at 21. "Higher than that" interjected foacbelnr Bergeron and Davin said "I yield to my hou. friend's superior knowledge." "I don't care for myself," exclaimed Mr. Mitchell for I am getting old bat I speak for the vigorous young men aronnd me. As Mr. Charlton sat beside him and Mr. Scriver behind him there was great laugher. The 30 was finally carried. Another clause enacts that anyone carnally knowing a woman by personating her hutiband was guilty of rape. Mr. Mitchell again protested this but Mr. Blake assured him there were such cases. A most important clause permits the court to receive the simple, statement of a child too young to know the nature of an oath who has been iudecentty^ assaulted. Another clause prohibited polygamy. This was aimed at tbe Mormons in the Northwest and Mr. Blake thought the fact suiipicious that in the colony at Lee's Creek there should be so many women. He would discourage Mor- mon settlement up there. The Govern- ment gave assurances that these people were not practicing ^-.olygamy and would not be allowed to. At the risk of making this letter too long I must refer to some other im- portant legislation. Mr. Costegan's Inland Revenue Bill repeals the law under which a rebate of duty was paid to the distiller on ccrn imported and made into whisky for export. The bill also provides additional precautions so that the pur- chaser may rely on the age of the whiskey printed on the label. The rebate of duty on imported malt is also repealfd. It provides also tbat all empty cigar boxes must be destroyed to prevent the dealer putting inferior cigars in boxes of a good brand. The bill also makes a concession to to- bacco dealers by allowing tbe manu- facturers to put up tobacco in pack- ages of from one pound and upwards. The Tilsonburg, Lake Erie and Pacific Railway and the Kingston and Smith Falls Railway Companies have been pressing for subsidies. The Baptist Convention petitionsfor the abolition of Separate Schools. The immigration from Great Britain fell off 11,000 last year. Mr, C H. Mackintosh, en-M. P. and A.

The Equal Rights men are holding back till after a meeting of theirs on the 15th (to night) at which Principal Caven will speak and address be presented to Messrs. McCarthy, Charlton and O'Brien. The Reformers have taken no action as yet. Col, Gzowski, Mr. Page and Mr. Reed with Mr, Shanly as consulting engineer is the new Montreal Harbor Commission. A public meeting of the ratepayers of Markdale Section was held in the Council Chamber on Tuesday last to nominate a trustee to fill tbe vacancy caused by the removal of Mr. Mercer, and to further consider the qoestion nf a school site. C. W. Bntledge ^nras voted to the chair and W. G. Pickell as secretary, and tbe meeting proceed- ed to business. Messrs. Wm. Mc- Loughry, Wm. Douglass, Wm. Brown, Solomon Hill and C. W. Bntledge were nominated for the office of true- tee. Messrs. Douglass and Hill with- drew, leavmg Messrs. MoLougbry, Brown and Rutledge as candidates, and a poll being demanded, a vote will be taken on Tuesday next to de- cide which one of the three will be the choice of the people. SCHOOL SITE. The following offers for a school site were then read, viz From the Agri- cultural Society, two acres for $450 or three and a third acres for $625 G. S. Bowes, two acres in one position in rear of P. McCullough's residence on the hill $400, or two acres south- east of the Methodist church on gravel road for $450 Wm. Brown, two acres on the front of his farm on gravel road south-east of village for $385; Dr. Sproule, one and a half acres with his residvjnce for $4,900, also from C. Reynolds for one acre with brick resi- dence for $1,900. The advantages and disadvantages of the above sites called forth a lively and animated dis- cussion, but no final decision was ar- rived at other than to vote by ballot on Tuesday next at same time and place as the voting for trustee, on the following three sites, viz Tbe Agri- cultural grounds, the Bowes site and the Brown site. There should be no sectional feeling in the important matter of choosing the site. As the school section stands, the corner at the post office is as near the centre as can be, by measurement from the western boundary in Hugh McEee's neighborhood and the eastern at Thos. Davis' so that the most convenient spot to reach from the post office would be tbe most central for the section. Since the above was put in type Wm. McLoughry has resigned.
