What the Legislators of the Country are Doing at Ottawa. Q i ‘. THE PACIFIC CABLE. r The Postmaster-General, according to u‘tangernent, proposed that the House mooeed in'to committee on his resolu- tion providing for Canada’s assuming fiveâ€"eighteenth oi the cost of acable line between this country and Aus- tralia. The question, he thought, was one on which there was no dif- ference of opinion, while the primary object in view is to secure cable con- nection with the Australasian colonies. It was inconceivable that any British power should stand in the way of the, Empire’s obtaining cable connection oni fair and reasonable rates over 1he Eastern Extension Company’s line to China and Japan, which would prac- tically give us complete cable connec- tion with China and Japan. The en- terprise would be of importance not, only to the whole British Empire but OI ,direct benefit to Canadian commer- ciai interests. The financial aspect of. the case was based upon the report. of the Imperial committee of 1897, Which was favored with the advice of Lord Kelvin, the distinguished scien- tist. Their calculation was that the cable would cost in round figures £1,- 492,000. Since then an increase in the, cost of the cable material has brought: the proposed cost up to £1,592,000. The plan contemplates that the cost should be divided in the proportion of live- eighteenths each by Great. Britain and Canada, and twoâ€"eiglh-teentbs each by New ‘Zealand, New South \Vales, Queensland and Victoria. 1n comâ€" mittee he would propose an amend- ment that the representation on the board should be two members from Canada and three each from Great Britain and the Australasian colonies. Sil‘ Sanford Fleming had calculated that the cable would earn with a due allowance for Asiatic business in its first year of operation, 1902, £114,157; in 1903, £153,031; in 1904. £197,375. and in 1905, £2494“. From these figures 81nd the opinion of all who had given the question study, it was apparent that the proposition had no financial terrors for Canada. It would tend to bring us trade and to build up our own telegraph lines and would, he felt certain, commend itself to the favor offlthisncountryL DOMINION PARLIAMENT, Sir Charles Tupper congratulated the government and the Postmaster- General Upon this move and commend- ed Sir Sanford Fleming‘s interest in (be: subject as having done more than anything else to insure the success of the scheme. Sir Charles gave an ex- haustive history of the movement for this cable, and took the ground that Britain had but acted fairly in toeing the mark as she had. .Mr. Craig took an optimisticwiew of the project and urged that the benefit would be great LO the Empire and form some return for her foster- ingicare. Messrs. Osler, Prior and Bostock al- so Spoke in favor of the resolution. The bill was read a third time. Mr. McMillan said that none but a practical farmer should be at the head of the Department of Agriculture. He was a farmer himself; but, could not run a brewery; the same thing was true of the premier in regard L0 the farming business. Nothing short of a resolution was needed at the farm. They. had now a practical man in M1. Grisdale, at the farm, and with a prac- tical farmer like Mr. Fisher, at the head he looked for great improvement in» the management of the larm. The system in vogue at the farm might have been all right years ago, but it wasl not up 10 date toâ€"day. The work done here was of no value to ‘iarmers in Western Omario, the West and the Maritime Provinces. Mr. Fisher appreciated the way in which Mr. McMillan had dealt with this question, and the suggestions qum a practical farmer like him were of spectal value. He promised more information in the annual reports conâ€" cerning dairy requirements. which would remedy a defect. The condition of the stock was due to an outbreak of tuberculosis some time since. A few thoroughbred cattle had been purchas- ed. 10 make up the loss, and the pre- sent appropriation would allow new purchases. Thoroughbred cattle would cost; a large sum, and it was a matter in which he could not but go very slowly. He also proposed purchasing a: herd. of sheep for the central farm. Mr. Fisher made reference to the use- tul experiments which are being car- ried on in the direction of determining the cause 01‘ what is known as soft pork. A vote of $20,000 for illustration sla- tions elicited the information from Lhe Minister of Agriculture that this was a new feature of the departmem’s work from which goodrcsults are expected. In France they had been of great ser- vice. \Vhile throughout the country many farms were to be found in splen- did shape, many others were in sore need of advice such as a station run on modern lines would afford. They were to be loomed at suitable points. Mr. Stenson. Richmond and Wolfe, was in favor of the proposal. They could be adapted to the various localities. The farmers of his district wouid be solely disappointed if this vote were knocked out. Sir Henry Joly do Lotbiniero was cerâ€" tain that illustration stations could teach our tobacco growers much to their advantage regarding curing. This Sir Charles Tupper agreed with those who had spoken that these stations would be of no value. THE EXPERIMENTAL FARM.

If the farmers could see put in practice before their eyes the the- ories taught them in books they would pick them up more easily. ‘1: 4L" ,uun «My... __ -- . Mr. Fisher, in reply to some of the objections raised, stated that the prin- ciple of these stations was the same that had wroked out so well in the case of the cheese trade. He had acted upon the petitions and applications of farmers from all over Canada seeking extension of the experimental farm work. The question was discussed at some further length and finally the item stood over. PREFERENTIAL TRADE. Sir VVilfi‘id Laurier informed Mr.-Mc Neil that the resolution which the lat- ter had prepared in reference to Canada’s desire to obtain a preference in British markets was not satisfacâ€" tory to him. The Premier said that he had prepared one of his own and would show it to Mr. McNeil. Probably they would agree about it. TO'ENLARGE DRY DOCKS. Mr Fielding moved the House into committee on a resolution regarding public assistance to dry docks. In 1882 a statute was passed granting 1 per cent. of asubsidy on the outâ€" lay for building dry, docks, but not to exceed $10,000 per year. Owing to the increased size of: steamships, lurgsu' docks axe now required, and the resolution proposed to increase the amount of the subsidy to 2 per cent” on the cost of the work for 20 years, but not to exceed $20,000 per year. The locks which were built un- der the statute can get the advantage of Lne new act if the size is increas- “The resolution was adopted, Sir Charles Tupper agreeing with it. LOAN COMPANIES’ BILL; The Loan Companies’ Bill from the Senate, which makes provision for companies to be incorporated without coming to Parliament for their chart- ers, Wan taken up in Committee. The bill was read a third time. The immigration estimates were then taken up in supply. Mr. Sifton, in reply to Mr. McDougall, said that he had been taking out a plan whereby something might be done in the way of inducing farmers fijom the Old Country to take up lands in the unsettled parts of the older Provinces. RAIL\VAY SUBSIDIES.

S., says:â€"A serious accident whs reported Friday afternoon on the Midland railâ€" way, which is being built from Wind- sor, where the big fire occurred two years ago, to Truro. A train has ar- rived at Windsor from the scene of the accident. It appears that a ballast tram, com-‘1 sisting of five cars, in charge of Con- ductor Kelley and Driver McCurdy, after being unloaded was backing down grade to dye gravel pit at Mesh- erville, about 15 miles from Windsor, when four cars loaded with workmen jumped the track. One car remain- ed on the track, but the others went over an embankment. Mahimiy, about tony years of age, said to belong to Halifax, was thrown from one car a distance of thirty feet down the embankment against a stump, and We car falling upon him, pinned him there. He was instantly killed, his body being badly mangled. Eddie Slater, waLer boy of the train, who was 16 years of age, and ason of B" J. U. Slater, of Brooklyn, was caught in .the wheels of one of the cars and was almost mutilated and in- stantly killed. Six other workmen were more or less hurt, but none dangerously. They were flung against one another, and thrown off the cars. The engine did not leave the truck. The road where the accident occurred is said to have been in good order for a new road, it being ballasted. 1 Dr. Maurice Weeks, of Brooklyn, telephoned for Dr. :T W. Reed, of this town, who accompanied Dr. Morris by special train. These thre‘e medical gentlemen attended to the wounded. Dr. Weeks took charge of the two dead bodies, and will hold an inquest at Brooklyn. Report That Pressure on the Brain 'I‘IIrcnIcns lnsanlly.
