Captain Rowe states that the seizure was purely illegal. He states that on December last, while lying at Grand Manan, a dory was stolen from the vessel’s stern during the night. The customs claim that he sold this dory, hence the seizure. He has received a tele- gram from the owners to pay the fine under protest, which he has done and the vessel was released,

UUMINION PARLIAMENT

Summary of Proceedings,

Orrawa, March 8.

The following Government. bills relating to the administration of justice, were to- day read a second time and passed: Respec- ting Rules of Cvuurt in relation to criminal matters; Respecting corrupt practices in municipal affairs, and make further pro- vision respecting enquiries concerning pub- lic matters; To permit the conditional re- lease of first offenders in certain cases.

The debate on the budget was resumed | by Mr. Armstrong and continued by Messrs. Porter and McMullen. At midnight Mr. Ferguson, of Welland, moved the adjourn- ment of the debate, and the House rose.

NOTES.

The Minister of Justice has given notice of a compremensive scheme to increase the salaries of the judges throughout the Do- minion. The following are the proposals as affecting the Maritime Provinces: New Brunswick, the Chief Justice, $6,000; the Judge in Equity, $5,000; four puiane judges of the Supreme Court, each $5,000. Nova Scotia, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, $6,000; Judge in Equity, $5,000, (and on the occurrence of a vacancy of the office of Judge in Equity, $6,000); six puisne judges of the Supreme Court, each $5,000. Prince Edward Island,—The Chief Justice being also Judge of the Court of Vice-Admiralty, $5,000; Assistant Judge and Master of the Rolls in Chancery, $4,000; Assistant Judge and Vice-Chancellor, $4,000.

Sir John Thompson gives notice of a bill further to amend the Supreme and Ex- chequer Court Act.

An Order in Council has been passed providing that no tolls or dues shall be levied on Government goods landed or shipped from any wharf under control of the Minister of Marine.

Mr. Dickey gives notice of a bill to amend the Fisheries Act, to strike out the word *‘ sawdust ”’ from the act.

In the Senate, this afternoon, Hon. Mr. Poirier delivered an able speech wn the oyster industry. He regretted its decline, and asked the Government to take prompt measures to preyent oyster fishing through the ice in the winter season.

Senator Abbott said the evidence in pos- session of the Government warranted the statement of the wanton destruction of oysters in winter, but he thought a regula- tion as proposed would affect poor people, Tne abuse of tishing might, however, be stopped by punishing the guilty parties. The Government had the whole matter under consideration, but it was a difficult thing to complete any scheme of protection without unduly oppressing poor people who relied on the oysters for their daily food.

A Sensational Telegram.

Brestav, March 8, Tho Scwlasche Zeitung prints the follow- ing sensational private telegram from Samoa :—‘* The German corvette Olga has bombarded Mataafa’s camp. The captain of the American man-of-war protested, but seeing his protest disregarded, he opened fire on the Olga. A shell burst between the decks, doing much damage. The Olga then directed a torpedo at the American

ship, blowing her up with all hands.” Wasuineton, March 8.

Reports that the United States warship has been sunk at Samoa are not confirmed by any information received here. There has not been a single word received by either the Navy or the State Departments to confirm the rumor. The officials at those departments place no reliance on it.

The White Caps Again.

ar

GrorGcEtTown, Ont., March 8.

A number of the people threatened now carry fire-arms.
