PROVINCIAL LEGISLATURE,

HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY.

Sarurpay, April 6. House in Committee of Supply. On the item of exhibitions, —

Government intended to do in respect to the offer of the ‘Trotting Park and Exhibi- tion Company.

Hon. Mr. Sulivan said that he under- stood that the company would not be ready to take charge of the exhibition until next year. In the meantime the exhibition would be held as heretofore. He would like to hear the members of the. House ex- press their opinions regarding the proposal.

Mr. Wise said that he would be for hold- ing one good central exhibition... He was not in favor of having the exhibitions *trun” by the Government. He believed this was the general opinion throughout the coun- try. Mr. Blake would reserve what he had to

, | say on the subject until the question came

properly before the House. He thought the offer of the company a reasonable one— one which shoul be accepted.

Mr. Farquharson thought that the Gov- ernment should only be tco glad to get rid of the management of exhibitions. hoped that the Provincial Exhibition would this year have been managed by a company. He had no doubt that a company would give more satisfaction to. the people.

Mr. J. R. McLean opposed the idea of subsidizing a company to manage the exhi- bitions.

On the item, ‘‘ Cost of Legislation,”

Mx. Farquharson proposed that the pay of members of the Legislature be reduced to-$100 and the reporters: abolished,

Hon. Mr. Prowse said that it was all very well for members of the House resid- ing in Charlottetewn to forego their allow- ance; but many of the country members could not afford to do so. The result would be that residents of the town would, for the most part, be elected as members. He thought the town should not have more in- fluence in the legislature than it has at present. As to the reporters, they were

Mr. Sutherland desired to know what the

one 1uight be dismissed. He thought, also, that the office of Assistant Secretary and Treasurer and that of the Provincial Auditor might be amalgamated.

Hon. Messrs. Macdonald and Ferguson and Mr. McLean twitted Mr. Sutherland upon his novel course.

House adjourned.

Monpay, April 8.

The order of the third reading of the bill to confirm the title to Patrick Flynn’s land was discharged, and a verbal alteration made.

Military and Naval Notes.

The new ram, shortly to be ’ constructed by the U. 8. Government for harbor de- fence, is to be 205 teet in length and 30 feet in breadth. In appearance it will re- semble a cigar. A novel feature of the ram is a pilot house, which being the ‘only exposed point likely to be injured by shot, is rendered impregnable by being built up of concentric rmgs of erucible stee] twenty inches in thickness. ‘When ¢ompleted, the boat will cost $400,000 and have a crew of four officers and sixteen men.

The new magazine rifle for the British artdy kas been adopted with complete un- animity, and will soon be turned out with great rapidity. The trials of the weapon in India have been, in all respects, satis- ‘factory. A compressed powder is now used which gives good results, and with

The lost U. S. man-of-war Trenton, which was wrecked at Samoa, was always ‘considered to be an unlucky vessel by the {sailors who sailed in her. The first at- ‘tempt to launch her was December 30, | 1875, but, after two hours’ work, the effort was abandoned. Soon after being launch- ,ed, she was put into dock and coppered, ;and when she was taken out she was found to leak so badly that she had to be re-dock- led. It was then found that two or three holes near the sternport had been care- lessly or maliciously bored without plug- ging.

Mr. McLellan said that no matter how prosperous the country, there would always be a certain amount of pauperism ; and the pvor ought to be provided ‘or.

Mr. J. R. McLean thought a good deal of caution was necessary tn the distribution of the poor fund. It would not do to let -poor people die by the way side. Some | place should be provided where they could ‘find at least temporary shelter.

Mr. Wise thought the gums appropriated for the poor far top small.

Mr. Farguharsen thought some other means might be devised for the care of the poor. He was in favor of the abolition of the poor house.

Mr. Shaw objected to the idea of farming out the poor as opposed to the principlea of Christianity. He argued that the paupers should, as far as possible be supported by the public and should not be left a burden upon charitable individuals or charitable districts.

Mr. Sutherland thought the state should support the deserving poor. But the ques- tion was surrounded by difficulties. It seemed that the more poor housgs, the more paupers there were to be supported. He thought the most of the paupers came from Charlottetown.

Mr. Blake repudiated this statement. Very few of the paupers, be said, belong to Charlottetown. He thonght the Province must be poor indeed if it could noc afford to maintain its poor. He thought the poor house should be enlarged rather than abolished. The manner in which the poor in the poor house are cared for is a credig¢ to the Province. Money spent upon the poor is repaid a hundred fold.

Hon. A. J. McDonald was afraid that we should never be able to do without the poor house. Poor people come here frorn abroad and they must be provided for.

Hon. Mr. Ferguson said that the poor from all parts of the Province gravitate to- wards Charlottetown.

Mr. Sutherland thought the $1300 salary paid che Commissioner of Public Lands an {unnecessary expenditure, and moved that

it be struck out. He was of opinion that the galary of the Assistant Commissioner was not too large if the head of the depart- ment were dismissed and the assistant | made Commissioner. In his opinion there

extending into the southern tiers of coun- ties in the State. The greatest damage has not been caused by wind alone, but in many places fires, fanned into fury by the storms, have wiped out of existence several small villages and hundreds of houses. The towns almost completely destyoyed are Valin, Olivet, Puckawama, Lesterville aud Mount Yernen, and three or fuur other villages were badly damaged. At Valin every house in the place except three is de- molished, and 100 people are without homes. A terrible gale of wind struck Mt. Vernon anda fire started from a small house that was blown over early Tuesday night. No power could stop it, and in an hour the business portion of the place was a great raging fire. Nearly 20 hundred families are homeless, and the loss will foot up $200,000. It is reported that several lives were lost. Four Jarge elevators, and the C. M. & St. P. Railway depot were also destroyed.
