was as media- g the foot tht this was an ax nipcrtaut Bill wkiob would require in discussion a examination. Ho cedar- otood tbata similar Bill was introduced some years ago in the House. and it received some objection from the Imperial Government. and that they were indis- to allow Canada to is to in that way. If there waoo rroooua lo probability of the Bill being he would not cbjoct. but if the ill was merely to be introduced. it was rothorlato in the session Any one who loo ed at tho ordor spa could loo that it was impossible got through inleoo than a fortnight. If the Government were to continue lutrcdu new Bills tho session might be proiou three or four weeks. He tho bt the House had before thorn so much as t oy could dio- pooe of in the time they could be roosou- abl expected to stay. Strongly as ho was in avor of the principle of tho Bill he did not wish it to lengthen the session unduly. As for as the Bill was retroactive. be under- stand it would meet with considerable oppo- illicit. Mr. Charlton sold it struck him that the Bill. should be transferred to the Cavern mint orders without op ition. He felt very anxious that this Bill should go through this session for tho good name of the country abroad. Mr. Mills said he iiitrcduoeda Bill some- what like this in 157$. but there woo on Imperial Objection to it. It had been the prectice to treat the surrender of criminals as a police regulation, but the Imperial Government took the position that the treatment of persons seeking an asylum in this country should be dealt with under treaty. He would like the Government to state if the position of the Imperisl Government had been changed in this respect. Sir John Mocdcnald sald there woo a feeling among our neighbors thot we were making Canada an asylum for tlmir rogues. Mr. Mills «Not more than they do. Sir John Macdcuald (Iouada's answer to that charge was that we were Willing to increase the number of exit-editable offences. lf tin-re was any delay it was on the part of the United States. It was true thet the Imperial Government ind objected to these matters being settled between Consuls and the United States. but in the proposed Bill it was expressly provided that it should only trite illnui upon a proclsmotion by the Uth'H'ltJf-lrt Council, and that pro- clamation would not be issued until the (lm‘nrnnwut had consulted with Her Mtjr‘sty‘s Government. lhe main object of the Bill in inn, passed was t') inform the pnliplrt of the l‘nitcd Bta'os and England that tilnnan‘e did not dvsire any bl] h on worthy additime in bar population, and was Il'lllli H'Mly filial anxious to make an i-nlargn-ll extradition airanuvmcut.

Mr. Davivt asked if this Bill would not ititnrffirrt with imperial legislation upon the subject. Sir John Thompson replied that no oubt it w. ulxi.

The objection ii susteined would wipe away at least onehnlf of the revised statutes. The Privy timnoil hsd three times smphaticolly declared that colonial legislatures had power to repeal anterior imperial statutes. He felt cunfldeut that Canada had power to deal with this subject. and if we had not such powers the sooner we got them the better. The House went into committee on the Bill.

Mr. Colter said the only way in which combines could be met would be by lower- in the duty on the articles so controlled. r. Edgar moved to make the term of imprisonment seven years instead cf two. The amendment was lost. Mr. Wallace moved lo add a clown pro- viding that the Act should not apply to the exarciss of any handicraft or labor. The motion was carried. The Bill woo reported. 0n the order for the third reading of the Extradition Bill, Mr. Laurier inquired if it was not the intention of the Government. as woo inti- mated by the Premier yesterday. to drop this Bill and reintroduce it next session. He thought this might be done with pro- priety. and without loss to any interest concerned. Sir John Thom had decided to no on with the Bill. Mr. Weldon (Albert) denied that Canada 3" surrendering anything of value by this ill. Mr. Davis! failed to see that the pro- posed Bill would provide for the surrender of those who commit frauds in financial matters. 1ihe House went into committee on the Bil . Mr. Weldon (St. John) said provision should be made that o prisoner extradited for one offence should not be tried for another. Mr. 1) wins said the whole Act was open to the objection that it might be mode on engine for s curing political prisiners. Mr Weldon (Albert) said if there was a breach of faith. power was given to the Executive to suspend the Act. It woo no- reasonable to suppose the Americans would be guilty of breach of faith. Mr. Weldon (St. John)’ said suspending the Act was like looking the stable after the horse woo stolen. Ho ouggr stod that some machinery should be provided to prevent this abuse of the Act. Mr. Weldon (Albert) said that under the treaties there was no norantoe, and we had to r-ly on the 1.; faith of thc coun- tries to whom prisoners were surrendered. Any suspicion that a man we: sought for one offence for the purpose of try. ins him for another would prevent his surrender. Mr. Lister said that in this matter we were not dealing with the Government of the United States. but with each State of the Union. and consequently the honor of the c introl Government was not pledged to see that the criminals surrendered were only tried for the offence for which they were given up. Mr. Lavergno objected to the clause which mode the Act retroactive. He con- siilerod it very unfair that people who had come to this country on the strength of existing treaties. believing they would find an asylum here. should be liable to prosecution. It would affect acquired rights, . Mr. Curran said that if the law were passed in its present form there would he mony cases of. hardship. Mr. Weldon (Albert) sold there woo no doubt that if Parliament mace e good rule for the future they were doing the most important half of the work. He felt, how. ever. that they would not be dcin much if they did not besides shutting t e doors drive out the flsgront offenders who were here. He denied that this Bill wco making a new criminal law. it did not declare onythingto be an offence which was not previously an offence. Mr. Deuioon was opposed to buying this Bill retroactive. These men had come here seeking asylum when they could have gone elsewhere. He agreed thct for the future it was well to shut cut them soon. Mr. Tiodoic could call to mind people who had come to Canada thirty years ego under suspicion of crime.eud lied since become respectable citizens. He wanted to see the It." passed. but did not wont it framed in such a way that it should be made an engine of blackmail. Mr Mitchell said it would be extreme hardship to make the Bill retroactive in its operation. Mr. Wallace said that this ve clause that woo attacked was the beotceuoo in the Act. The real ob set was to rlfy this country. If this Bil passed t erowculd be ample opportunity for these men to got out before it come into force.

Inch has been printed about this visit; little is really ucwn except what happened in public. There is a theory that a family council has been held and that various family ueotiouo have been discussed. Suppooiu t at to be true. no decision that could ove been takcn'would be valid without the approval of Her Majesty’s Ministers. Two subjects are said to occupy the Queen's mind-o financial settlement for tho oldest son of the Prince of Wales. Prince Albert Victor. commonly called Prince Eddie. and his marriage. This Prince is now 25 years old and has no separate establishment. no in- come of his own, no wife. and noimmodiato prospect of marrying. No Minister has yet ventured to ask Parliament for an allow- ance. There would be opposition. and rather than face the discussion which is sure to be raised. the Prince of Wales him. self is opposed to an application till his son marries. As he must marry a Protestant. his choice among the European daughters of rcyslt is strictly limited. None cfthem seems a avcrito.
