The House went into committee on the Government bill respecting the grain trade in the inspection district of Manitoba. It isameasure founded on the report of the grain commission, which sat in Manitoba and the Northâ€" West last summer. The object is to afford relief to ihe farmers of lhat sec- tion, who complained that they wercl ,not provided with sufficient facilities‘ jfor shipping grain, and that they were iovercharged by the elevator compan- Vies, which were allowed to have a !monopoly. THE BANKING SYSTEM. Mr. Fielding introduced his bill to amend the Banking Act. The main ,purpose of this amendment is to carry .forward bank charters for another ten years, but several important changes and additions are also proposed to the Banking Act. In case the shareholders of a bank ask for certain informa- tion from the directors the Act, as amended, would require the informa- tion to be furnished at the first annual ’meeting. Banks which have suspend. ted payment will be prevented from issuing notes after suspension, :Banks may lend money upon stand- ing timber and upon the products of the quarry. Security may be taken by banks for liability incurred by let- ters of credit. In the case of a. bank holding land for other than purposes of its own business, provision is made that proceedings may be taken by the Crown to appropriate the land if the bank does not dispose of it after the expiration of the statutory limit of seven years, or twelve years if an ex- ‘ down.

A return of un- paid drafts shall be made byi the bank every five years in the same way as returns of unpaid balances are made, Better provision is to be made for the handling of a bank’s affairs after it has suspended payment. For this purpose the Bankers’ Association is to be incorporated, and immediately on the suspension of a bank this as- sociation shall appoint a curator, who shall be manager of the bank, direct all its affairs and assume all powers conferred upon him. The curator shall remain in charge until a liquiâ€" dator is appointed, or the bank un- der suspension resumes business. The point yet to be decided, and upon which some discussion took place yes- terday, was what responsibility the Bankers’ Association should assume for the acts of the curator. It is also proposed to grant the Bankers’ Association authority which will op- erate as a means to secure accurate returns being made to the Govern- ment by banking institutions, but this proviso is not in workable form as yet. Provision is made to enablea solvent bank to sell out to another institution, without loss of time up on a vote of twoâ€"thirds in value of INSPFI‘TION 0F APBLES.

Adrien Hofmeyer tells me he was informed by a high Boer offi- cial that when President Kruger no- tified the Raad of the Government's arrangements to blow up the mines and to destroy Johannesburg, Gen. Louis Botha hurried to Pretoria and had a stormy interview with Presi. dent Kruger, to whom he said if the plan were not cancelled, he would himself defend Johannesburg, adding that the Boers were not barbarians. At this according to Mr. Hofmeyer, the plan was abandoned." BRIDGE WAS DESTROYED Boers Taking Their Guns and For- age Toward Johannesburg. A despatch from ’l‘aaibosch says :â€" Gen.

The British ad- i vanice guard crossed the river on Sunday without opposition. The bridge had been destroyed. The Boers are reported to be taking their guns and forage towards Joh- annesburg. The rail-head is now at the Rhenoster river. It is stated here that forty British troops are oc- cupying the coal mines. Gen. Rob- erts is arranging to support them.
