He first discus sed in an intelligent way some of the needs of the Ilorthwest, guch as irri- gation, a precaution against prairie fires, a grant of land aud half breed grievancdi. All his motions were voted down and theii the prairie poet literateur, linguist and statesman re- sumed his attack on Mr. Herchiman, Commissioner of Mounted Police, whom he charged with high crimes and misdemeanors. In proof of his incompetence au a soldier he alluded to the manoeuvres before the Govern- or General at Hegina last ear. Hon. Mr. Dewduey told the House that Davin was riding round the Governor General in a cayeuse aud Lad to be led away between two Sergeanfs. The House was so amused at tliis that Davin struck back viciously by eaying he was not for ten years pickinij the eyes out of the country like Dewduey and couldn't, like Dewdney, a£furd a carnage obtiained in an improper way. At this Dewdney flared up angrily aud told Daviu if he did not withdraw the statement he would make him. The Minister of the luterior is the greatest man in the Government, but as his face flushed and his eyes flaslied Davin quailed and took it back. Duriug the debate there were a series of encount- ers and contradictions between these two. Alluding to his refusal to accept his leaders suggestion of a depart- mental enquiry into the charges Davin compared himself to Aj ax defying the lightning and added that the Premier's frowns were terrible because of bis afi'ection for the Premier. Davin's motion for a Eoyal Commission was defeated, the Opposition voting for it. Most of the time of the House for tile past week has been spent in Com mittee on the tariff changes. They have talked much and sat late till be- tween one and two in the morning. The Minister of Fiuance has announc- ed a number of further changes, some increases and some reductions, a few additional being placed on the free list. The duty on salted meats has been reduced from three to two cents and the duty on spirits increased from $1.75 to $2.00 but with the standard of strength 15 degrees below proof in- stead of at proof. The Bremner Fur Committee met again on Friday and asked Stuart Henderson, Bremner's Ottawa sohci- tor, to produce certain papers. Hen- derson declined as it might prejudice the inlerests of his client. lu this he was upheld by Mr. Lester, the mem- ber for Lambtou, Ont., who said he would, iu Henderson's place, go to the Tower first. Deputy Minister of the Interior Burgeas testified that the Half-breeds Claims Commission had valued the furs stolen from Bremner at $5,800. The Committee will likely report the facts without assessing the damages. The Committee unanimous- ly agreed that the evidence estaolished Gen. Middleton guilty as to seizing, appropriatmg some and giving away others of these turs. The Committee meets again to-day (Tuesday). The most interesting evidence yet given m the Eykert enquiry has just come out in the testimony of Dalton McCarthy, M. P., and Wm. Laidlaw. a Hamilton solicitor. Wm. Laidlaw 13 brother to Robert Laidlaw, one of Mr. McCarthy's constituents who ap phed, through Mr. MeCarthv, for 140 square miles of timber limits at Cy- press Hills. Nearly a month after- wards Mr. Eykert applied for 100 square miJes within the sane ar^a Eykert got Laidlaw to act in concert with him and Laidlaw, hearing that the Department would only grant 60 square miles to each, agreed to a joint survey. Mr. McCarthy swore that he saw the Deputy Minister draw up the report to Council containing the exact description af the limit applied hr by Laidlaw. but when theOrder-in-Coun- .^^\ 'i^°^^ ' contamed an alto- gether different description, giving to Laidlaw a wortblean section without a tree on it lying just south of the lit-it he had applied for. Eykert was at the Department nearly every day and the result was that the Order-in CouncU issued to Adams, Mr Eykert's client gave him Laidlaw's limit contammg all the valuable Umber. fifty square mUeB. Dalton McCarthy stated tSal he characterized the transaction at the time as a gross fraud, and Mr. Laid- law swore he was never able to get an expUnatiouof Ufrom the Department. To show that Laidlaw aud Adams were gwng mooks iu this business Mr Eykert put in a highly amusing letter. w«.^„ ..

IwillStrJ; the story m his own words. Mvwife one morning told me that I J soon have to go to the mill as tb fln„; was nearly out. Upon this I resold to go as soon as I could get readj As I had no wood chopped fur I house, I went off to the bush tk morning, chopped all day aud tW went home. My wife and I stayed an all Eight preparing the wheat for the mill, I flailing it and she seiving it through an old seive as I flailed it, there being no fanning or threshiax mills in the neifrhborhood. We had it all ready at about one o'cloclj when we at last retired to rest. At day- break we were up and I was ready to start for the mill, which was about 20 miles distant. We got safely to the mill and, having got my grist.'l staii. ed for home at about nine o'clcck a! night. When about half way home a pin came out of the ox-bow and, finding themselves free, the oxea galloped off. I immediately started iu pursuit and after a chase of about two miles succeeded iu catchiuf; the tail of one. by raeauG of which I scrambled to his back. Having thus stopped them I rode them back to my load, hut upon finding that the pin was lost 1 ffi'as in a dilemma. As I had no knife with which to make an- other, I at last hit upon the plaa of gnawing a small limb to the proper size. Having done so I hitched the oxen to the sleigh and again stated homeward. We had gone some lailes further when I heard a sonnd wuieh curdled my very blood. It was the cry of wolves in pursuit. Wolves were then very numerous, but none had ever before pursued me. All lie horrible stories of tliem which I had ever jread came back to me with stwt- ling vividness aud I erew sick with fear, but remembering that they ware very jwardly, 1 took courage and urging the oxen, who seemed to to sensible of the danger, to their utmost speed, I snatched up a ch^iu, which I had with me, attached it to the sleigh and prep; red to throw it among them when they came near. Meantime thJ terrible pack was coming rapidly near to me though the oxeu were almost flying and I was still urging them forward As they came on I threw the chain amongst them with a crash, they stopped in surprise, and at thw moment I saw a light at my stable and drove franticallv through its opeudoor which my wife closed securely behind me. There was a covered way between the barn and the house and by it « went to the house, around which tn» wolves were howling terribly. ^J^J^ reaching it I was so exhausted thJti fell fainting to the floor, and my bw" wife dragged me to a bed, from ff JJ I did not rise for six weeks i» wolves left at dav-break. My â„¢ afterwards told me that slie, hs^j heard the wolves and feariugtbat^^^' were pursuing me, went to the st* and received me in the wav descriK • I may add that though I b*^« J" lived here for forty years I kave nev had such an exciting trip since.
