o-e OUR OYTAWA DESPATCH: (Special Despatch to Daily Examiner. ) Orrawa, Feb. 20.

Cartwright laid estimates on the Table to-day. He asks $2,344,005,135 for or- dinary Expenditure and $1,589,433,110 to be expended on capital account ; for Souris Breakwater 220,000 ; for Malpeque Break- water, 83.500 ; New Eondon, $1,500 ; Rail- way, $2 ),00 ),

New Independence Parliament Bill pro- vides that no official of the Local Govern- ment or superannuated Dominion Govern- ment olticial shall sit in Parliament. It also applies to Senators.

Decosmos charged the Government with defrauding British Columbia of $23,000 and entailing a loss upon the Dominion of $310,- 000 in an effort to checkmate and embar- rass British Columbia; he said the Govern- ment seeined to forget that there are Mari- time Provinces on East and West to whom they owe a debt as well to old Canada. He loudly called upon the Government to fulfil its obligations and to pay the Provincial loss. ;

Cartwright said he was contesting an election wien the money alluded to was de- manded and refused. He also said British Columbia had failed to show how that money was tobe applied, as required by agreement between the two Governments.

*Decosmos states positively that British Columbia had fulfilled her part of the agree- ment and charged the Dominion Govern- ment with breach of faith.

Langevin spoke of bungling mail arrange- ments in Grete.

GENERAL NEWS.

Hatrrax, Feb. 18.—The steamer “ Cir- cassian” arrived at 1 a. m. with Liverpool dates to 7th inst.

The Government steamer ‘‘ Newfield,” from France, which arrived at 2 p. m., fell in, on Tuesday last, with the steamer *‘ Hib- ernian” disabled, the shaft having broken the previous Friday. She took off fourteen cabin passengers and the mails and brought them here. The ‘‘Hibernian” was under sail making for Queenatown—all well. No passengers on her for St. John.

Monrreat, Feb. 16.—Bewernick’s fur establishment was damaged by fire to-day ; loss’ $15,000. Miller’s stationery and book- store, situated on the flat above the fur store, was also injured ; loss $1,000. Both were insured in English and Canadian offices.

Boston, Feb. 17.—At 1 o’clock this mor- ning, whenthe steamer ‘‘Old Colony,” from New York, was about 20 miles from New- port, her walking beam broke, smashing the engines badly and exploding the cylinder. Fortunately no lives were lost. The ‘‘Old Colony” was towed into Newport.

Lonvon, Feb. 16.-- A special to the Times from Berlin says: ‘‘Not only is it unlikely Germany will undertake the part of arbiter by declaring against any power attempting to interfere with Russia, but the indications are that Russia’s action is regarded here as at variance with her understood programme, viz., the liberation of Christians and nothing more.”

The interpellation on the Eastern ques- tion comes on in the Reichstag on Tuesday.

The coasting steamer M. Palmer was sunk in a collision near Harwick and 14 persons were drowned.

Lonpon, Feb. 17.—Advices from Cape Town, January 20th, say: ‘‘There were nu- merous encounters between the volunteers and the insurgent Caffres during last week.

The Caffres were defeated, and many were killed and wounded.

ArueEns, Feb. 17.—The Thessalian insur- gents took Platamona to-day, but it is sup- posed they will not beable to hold it. Hostilities are breaking out in all the dis- tricts of Crete, where the insurgents are taking possession of block houses and strong- holds under the flag of union with Greece.

There were small é6ngagements between the Turks and insurgents in Thessalay. It fs announced that several thousand Turks have left Volo to prevent further insurgent advances. The Greek Government have decided to immediately ca!l out the second reserves of 10,100 men, and also to form twenty battalions of light infantry.

Atuens, Feb. 16. —The official Gazette announces that a strong body of insurgents is beseiging Platamona in Thessaly and that a bedy ot Turkish reinforcements from Armigos had been repulsed. Seven hund- red Greek volunteers crossed the frontier yesterday and considerable numbers left Cirrcus for Lamia at the head of the gulf of Volo, near the Turkish frontier.

Last night was the coldest we experienced the present winter. The thermometer fell fourteen degrees below zero.

Tux smoke of the Northern Light was vis- ible last night from Souris. It was probab- ly caused by cooking operations, as she calmly drifted along the shores, surrounded by a pan of ice of very tiny dimensions.

Ow St. Peter’s Road, at 11 o’clock to-day, a couniryman had his face terribly distigured from being run over by a horse attached to a small box sleigh. He was taken to Dr. Beers’, where his wounds were dressed.

At the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court, this morning, the case of Augustine Coombs, for selling liquor without license, wos again under the consideration of the Court. Four witnesses were examined and the matter was postponed until Monday next. The case of Martin Carroll, for assaulting Mr. Henry Hall on Queen Street, was postponed until to-morrow.

Ow returning from the funeral of the late John Walsh, Mr. Richard Locket, barber, Pownal Street, met with a very serious ac- cident. He was walking on the road in front of the residence of Mr. L. C.,Owen, when a horse attached to a heavy sleigh was driving towards him at a rapid pace, and, when a few yards off, Mr. Locket attempted a slip to one side in order to let him pass, but slipped and was falling to- wards him. He attempted to catch the bridle; this he missed, and the right shaft struck him a must violent blow on the temple. He instantly fell to the ground and the sleigh runners partly passed over his head, intlicting a very large cut on his temple, which bled very freely. He re- mained for some time unconscious, but we are glad to hear he is recovering under the treatment of Dr. Jenkins.

The Masonic Entertainment held in the Reform Club Hall, on Tuesday evening, by the members of King Solomon Lodge, was in every respect a success. The Hall— which was tastefully decorated—was well filled by a very select audience, and the well arranged programe was carried through in a manner that was highly satisfactorily to the audience. His Worship the Mayor pre- sided,and the oflicers of the different Lodges occupied seats on the stage. After a few introductory remarks by the chairman, the opening ode was rendered in excellent style by the brethren. It was followed by a taste- fully executed instrumental trio which re- flected much credit on the performers. The lecture on ‘‘Masonry and its principles,” by Rev. Mr. Osborne, was very fluently delivered and he fully sustained his reputation as a lecturer on technical and delicate subjects. He traced “Masonry back to the earliest ages, described its introduction into Eng- land, how it was therein practiced by the Druids, and quoted Scripture to prove its gzistence in the most ancient times. At the Mhish the lecturer was loudly applauded. The vocal solo by Mr. G. C. Cunningham, and the reading by Mr. George Peake, were well received, while the splendid solo of Mr. F. H. Beer called forth an encore. Mr. F. 8. Longworth’s humorous recitation was very§fpleasing to the audience. The cornet solo by Mr. Fletcher, and the reci- tation of Mr. T. A. McLean brought the entertainment to a very nice close.
