' The House passed on to considera- tion of the government’s insurance bill. On the clause of this measure which provides a set of securities in which insurance companies may in- vest, Mr. Foster expressed the opinion that these were a trifle broader than they should be, and the Minister of Finance stated that he would have the clause stand over, as he was sincerely desirous of meeting the views of the Opposition, and would consider any suggestion which Mr. Foster might have to make. The bill accordingly stands over. SCRIP FOR HALFBREEDS. A bill to amend the Dominion Lands Act adduced a discussion in connec- tion with the issue of scrip to certain half-breeds in the North-West Terri- tories which is contemplated in this measure. The people who will profit thereby are those who have not been settled with in connection with the re- linquishing of the aboriginal title to the land. the policy of the British Gov- ernment being in all cases to take no land without affording in return some compensation. In the Northâ€"West the claims of both the Indians and the halfbreeds have been dealt with alike. The halfbreeds gained each scrip for 240 acres of land. About 3,000 halfâ€" hreeds have yet to be settled with. Heretofore the unfortunate halfbreeds [have fallen in many cases into the hands of brokers. who cashed the scrip at exorbitant discounts. The Minis- ter of the Interior explained that most of these people are engaged in agri- cultural pursuits. The bill was re- ported. In the Senate the Hon. David Mills moved the second reading of the bill providing for the conditional libera- tion of prisoners. He pointed out that the bill proposed to introduce the Eng- lish system of ticket of leave and that the bill was based on the English sta- tutes. The licenses Were issued sub- ject to reporting to the sheriff, but if the holder was found idling or other- wise misbehaving himself he would be lent back to serve out his time. The system had been found to work well in England and in the United States where the system had been introduc- Senator Macdonald, of British Colum- bia, proposed aresolution expressiné‘ approval of the declaration of policy contained in the speech of Sir Wilfrid Laurier in which he said, commenting on the negotations for the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question, that should it be decided that the Lynn Canal did not belong to Canada the Policy of the government would! be to gain access to Yukon by building a way down to what .was indisputably Canadian territory, to Observatory Inlet through the Cassiar. Atlin and Yukon districts. The resolution also reaffirms the motion adopted by the .Senate last session, to the effect that it is necessary that an all Canadian route from the Pacific coast to Yukon should be opened up without delay in order to secure for the Dominion as much of the trade of that district as possible. tht the Legislators of the Country are Doing at Ottawa" ed. He believed the measure would be. advantageous in bringing about the reformation of youthful offenders. In his opinion it was much more likely that one to whom a ticket of leave was granted would reform than if kept in the penitentiary. Old offenders and those who were offenders for the first time were thrown together in the pen- itentiary and the opportunities for re- fiorm were very few indeed. In Eng- land it had been found that the crimâ€"i inal classes were those who had least‘ physical life and that training had in-‘ duced improvement as much as moral‘ culture. He believed the bill would be‘ an advantageous one. The bill was read a second time. ‘ THE ALASKAN BOUNDARY. Mr. Sifton secured the passage of two bills giving the government power to throw open a number of town sites in the North-West which are no longer needed as such, and another extend- lng the close season for buffalo from 1900 to 1902. In reply to a question by Mr. E. F. Clarke, Sir Wilfrid Laurier stated that none of the officials of the Kingston Penitentiary have been recommended for superannuation, but twelve have been retired with gratuities on the ground of physical incapacity. FARMERS PAY UP. During the discussion in committee upon the bill to further amend the Do- minion lands act, Mr. Sifton, in reply to Mr. ester, said that the farmers of Manit a and the Northwest have pretty (well paid up their indebtedness upon school lands. CANNOT BE SPARED. Col. Prior, Victoria, B. 0., quoted a. statement in the Victoria “Colonist” from the Vancouver "World," to the effect. that the Rev. Geo. R. Maxwell, member for Burrard. is to be appointed postmaster of Vancouver. He asked whether the statement was well found- ed, and whether Mr. Maxwell was vot- ing with this promise of an appoint- menfl in his pocket. The Prime Minister was happy to be able to say that Mr. Maxwell had. no commission in his pocket and so far as he was aware there had been no suggestion of his appointment. The House would. be very sorry to lose his services. DUMINIUN PARLIAMENT. OTHER GOVERNMENT BILLS. TICKET OF LEAVE MEN. THE INSURANCE BILL. LAID ON THE SHELF. The Minister of Customs had. a bill put through extending the time for correcting erors in entries within ten days from entry or arrivag. Tlell Weights to Ills Neck, Then Jumped Into the Canal. A despatch from Thorold says :â€"â€"The remains of Nelson Shaver were found in the new canal by lock 24; on Monday evening. The man had been missing from hishome, which was with some relatives named Daboll, also residents of Thorold, since Saturday, when he went out to the rear‘ of the house. As he did not return it was feared some» thing was wrong. and a search was made, the result being the finding of a note stating that he intended to commit suicide. The search had; been kept up actively since Saturday, and. on Monday night his remains were found in the new canal. Around his neck was hanging a heavy steel dog chain to which was attached some heavy iron wrights, the unfortunate fellow evi- dently having made up his mind that he was going to finish the deed With- out any chance of rescue. Another clause is inserted at the re- quest of game associations in Quebec giving the governorâ€"incouncil power to permit the export of deer shot by sportsmen under provincial license. THE USUARY BILL. The Committee of Banking and Com- merce of the Senate, a couple of weeks ago, threw out Senator Dandurand’s usuary bill. The Senate referred the reâ€" port of the committee back for furth- er consideration. The result was that at ameeting of the committee the bill was adopted. A . 1‘1 _--rv-... The only important change is that 9118 Operations of the bill Will be con- fined to amounts loaned under $51,900 on which the interest shall not exceed 20 pelt cents. per annum. The bill will n°t apply to the Yukon territory. Mr. \Valker, General Manager of the Bank of Commerce, spoke against the bill and showed how it would operate against a farmer who, owing to bad crops and difficulty in obtaining good Security, would have to pay heavy in- terest to save the foreclosing of his mortgage. This argument did not a?- pear to have very much weight with the committee, but when the question of exempting the British Columbia Prospector from the operations of the bill came in, it was decided to consider that matter when the bill came before the House. Owners May be Given Some Allownncv, as a Matter of Grace. A despatch from London. says:-â€" The English Royal Licensing Comâ€" mission’s report recommends a great reduction in the number of houses lic- eanor the‘ sale of liquors as of the first importance. It says that while, according to strict Justice, no claim for compensation can be urgtd by those losing their licenses, some 3.1- lowance might be made as a matter of grace» A vote was reached on the second reading ot the Redistribution Bill, which was carried. ‘by ’77 for to 41 against; majority for Government 86. YUKON CHARGES AGAIN. The House once again discussed the Yukon charges. Mr. Davin moved the adjournment of the House to call atâ€" tention to the articles in the London Times. He read an article in refer- ence to the Government's refusal to appoint a judicial commission for the investigation of Sir Hibbert Tupper's charges, and denounced the Govern- ment for voting down the motion to appoint thecommission. Sir Wilfrid Laurier declared that the motion to adjourn was an unwar- ranted abuse of the privileges of the House. There was no urgency in tth matter and the House could ad‘ourn only upon a uextion of urgency. 1th regard to r. Ogilvie‘s report the Premier declared that if it was not satisfactory another investigation would be ordxared. ' DROWNED HIMSELF LIKE A DOG Toronto Man Fell Between Movlnu Cars and Lost it Leg. A despatch from Toronto seys:â€"Mr. J. J. Walsh, a wellâ€"known real estate man in the city, whose office is at 39 Victoria street. and who lives at 63 Gloucester street, met with a serious accident last night at Strathroy. He alighted from the Pacific express for a moment to take a drink of water at the station, and in the act of jumping aboard again swung himself between the cars. which were then in motion, and fell. the wheels passing over one of his legs. crushing the ankle, neces- sitating amputation below the knee. The patient was taken to the Queen 5 hotel by the medical attendants. and is doing as well as can be expected. Mr. Walsh was doubtless returning from his wedding tour, as his marriage to Miss Katharine Coffee was celebrat- ed at Our Lady of Lourdes on the 19th of last month. ELECTION FRAUDS. In accordance with his notice. Mr. Borden of Halifax, introduced a moâ€" tion for the production of the papers in the West Huron and Brockville aloctions. Ln. reply, Sir Wilfred Laurier said that Mr. Borden had brought up one of the most important matters that could engage the attention of the House‘ The purity of elections must be guarded at all costs and hazards. He was free to say at once that it Mr. Borden could substantiate his statement before the committee, a. prima faciecase had beenmade out against West Huron. Without hesi- tation this matter must go before the committee. SAD END T0 WEDDING TOUR. CUT DOWN THE LICENSES. REDISTRLBUTION BILL. Milwau's , July Joâ€"Flourâ€"Steady.

The bitter feeling that had been brewing over the street car strike burst into a sudden flame on Saturday afternoon. and from three o‘clook until after midnight the principal streets of the city were at the mercy of a crowd, which wrecked street cars, smashed windows, and stoned the police.

The patrol Waggon with four officers drove down, to be greeted with a volley of stones. which the officers received in silence. At one o'clock the regular tramp of the soldiers startled those on the out- side of the crowd. MILITARY MELTS THE MOB. Mayor Wilson came forward and again read the Riot Act, and warned all to disperse. The infantry were drawn up across Richmond street in “company front," and when the Mayor had finished reading the Act, came the order ‘fix bayonets; by the left, quick march." Hardly 20 paces had they moved along Dundas street before the last straggler of the mob was run- ning to cover. The police went in front of the soldiers, routing out the ioiterers and sending them on their way. Three arrests were made of men who refused to wend their homeward way when ordered. Preceded by the chief of police and escorted by the soldiers with fixed bayonets, the four cars which had caused the trouble were escorted to the barn. The cause of the accident is unknown but it is supposed that some part of the engine dropped, causing the en- gine to be lifted clear off the track. The condition of the track shows that something had dragged for nearly half a mile. Bowen‘s bidy was brought to the Delhi station, where Undertakv er Church was called. Bowen lived at B-rid-geburg and leaves a widow and family to mourn his sad and horrible death.

Grand Trunk Train Wrecked at Delhi by the Dropping of Mnehlnery. A despatch from Delhi, 0nt., lays: Grand Trunk westbound train No. 89I engine No. 67, was wrecked at 1.45 this morning, about two miles east of this station. Driver Frank Bowen was in- stantly killed, his body being found lying between the engine and tender, covered with ties. Firemen Perry and Brakesman Hickinson were badly hurt. Conductor Griffin and the other brakes- man, who were in the back coach. ee- oap‘ed unhurt. The engine cab was com- pletely demolished, and the remainder of the engine was hurled into the ditch upside down. The tender was turned completely over, and four cars were piled up in front of the engine and {our behind, all being completely de- molished. The track was torn to 'pieces and the ties were made into tooth- pleB. MILITARY ORDERED OUT. Mayor Wilson read the Riot Act from a shop window to an accompaniment of jeers and crashing of glass. The crowd had become reckless, and thought that nothing could be done to interrupt their mischief. Sheriff Cameron, Mayor Wilson and Crown Attorney Magee held a consultation and it was finally decided to have the sheriff order out the members of No. 1 Co., R.R.C.I. At midnight the soldiers were got under way, and under command of Col. Holmes, D.0.C., with Col. Buohan and Major Deniaon marching at the head. the little band of redooats started out, Each man was supplied with 20rounds of ball cartridge. Down town the fun Manager Carr of the Street Railway Complany‘says the riot was a hold at- tempt on the part of organized labour to take into their own hands the man- agement of the railway. and says he will never submit to such a thing tak- ing place.

A despatch from Montreal says 3â€": The story' of Pare and Holden's ex- periences since breaking jail at Napâ€" anee, as might be expected, shows that the men underWent considerable hard- ships ln their wanderings, to evade recapture. On their way from Camp- bellton, N.B., in charge of Detective Greer, Pare talked a little ocf his re- cent doings. THEY CLUNG TOGETHER.- It seems that in spite of some ap- parent ill-feeling between Pare and. his oombamion, while in Napauee, the two had a regular system uf oomm'uni- cation with each‘other. Pare made known to Holden his plans for the Troops 1n the Philippines Are Sullerlnl Great lllscomforlv. A despatch from Manila, saystâ€"It has been raining and storming almost constantly for two days, and the coun‘ try along the American south and bay lines is literally flooded. The soldiers are suffering great discomfort. Th! Thirteenth Infantry Regiment - at Pusey is in the worst position, being practically surrounded by water. The bridges that Were used for getting supplies have been washed away, and some of the companies are now separ- ated by streams six feet deep. In many cases the men are sleeping with three feet of water beneath their bunks, which are elevated on cracker boxes. The company cooks, when preparing the meals, stand knee deep in water. Some of the roads leading to Pasay are simply impassable, and the rice fields on all sides are one great lake‘ A high wind blew over several tent: of the Second Reserve hospital. They were several weeks accom- plishing this part of their journey, subsisting on the way as tramps. In Maine the men did not feel safe, and they kept to the woodls as much as possible, until about two weeks ago, when they struck across to Nova Sco» tia and landed near Halifax. Wan- dering about for somwdays, they re- traced their steps and struck St. John, NB, a week ago last Sunday. From there they worked up the line of the lutercolonial to Campbellton, arriving| there on Thursday in ‘a box car ‘ making from the car to a small hate“ in the neighborhood. THE MAN WHO GAINED THE Ilon Nmnila bay is impossible of naviga‘ tion by either launches or cascoes, and no vessels are leaving the harbour. The United States transport Centen- nial is ready to sail for San Francisco with discharged soldiers, but the lat- ter have to sit around the water from all day, drenched to the skin, waiting for a launch to take them to the steamer. The River Pasig and all ‘ch: other streams are swollen. and the city- streets at all low points are cov- ered with water. After leaving the jail a consultation took place as to which direction they. should take, Holden wishing _to strike west to get into the United States a! quickly as possible, Pane wishing to go east towards Quebec, thinking by this route the better to escape detec- tion. The eastern route being decid- ed. upon, the first night and day after their emape they kept to the north side oflthe St. Lawrence, keeping un- der cover as much as possible, and. finally reached Coteau Junction, where the crossed. the St. Lawrence to Val- ley ield. Following the south shore down, they crossed over again to Vaudreul, and, carefully picking their steps. they worked their way through the Province of Quebec into the Stat. of Maine. WARD. It happened that the chief of police, an officer named Duncan, had receiv-g ed one of the circulars sent out de-f scribing the two men.
