’
( Spe 3a, Corr sp idence o/ The Examiner. )
The House has worked hard this week, faud some of the proceedings were of a highly exciting character. The Rykert case oc- cupied part of Monday afternoon and the whole of Tuesday’s session. Sir Richard Cartwright’s speech, in moving his resvlu- tion, was a Vigorous one; bit his own party sdmit that its effect was greatly marred by his attempt to inculpate the Government. Mr. Davies delivered a really brilliant and el q sent speech, which was attentively] isten- jed to by bot sides of the House. Of course, it bore strongly against Rykert, but Mr. Davies avoided the track which Sir Richard had followed, and -kept directly to the question, Further consideration of the matter was postponed till Monday next, " h nh the case will probably be re ferred to he Commitiee on Privileges and Elections.
Mr. Adam Brown’s Bill, known as the ** Dickey Bird Bill,” got the G. B. in cow- mittee, despite Mr. Brown's efforts to the contrary. Hefought gallantly, taking up the whole of Wednesday evening's ses- sion. But it was no use, and we have heard the last of the Pigeon Bill for this sessiu 1.
Dr. Roome, one of the professional men on the Government side, brovght up the question of the health of the Dominivn, and moved for the establishment «f a Health Department with a responsible head, for the purpose of preventing a spread of dis- ease, collecting mortuary statistics and edu- cating the people as far as possible in a}l health and sanitary matters. Dr. Roome referred to the great progress which has been made duriug the last 22 years; but to bring thisabout many milins of dollars had been expended in opening up channels of commerce. Little, however, had been done to advance the heaith interests of the country. The result of Legislation in Great Britain had been a large decreise in the death rate. Comparing the death rate of England with that of Canada, there would have been 15,000 more persons living in Canada at the cluse of last year, had Eng- land’s death rate prevailed here. Od Lon- don had a death rate of 185 per 1,000, while Montreal, with beiter natural sanitary con- ditions, had a death rate of 348. Ottawa's death rate was 337, and Huil’s 377 per 1,000. Dr. Roome held that 20,000 lives were sacrificed annually in Cauada which might be saved. The direct lossin money
hrough our high death rate was $54,000,-
000 a year, and the indirect loss $6,000,000 more. Several members spoke in support of Dr, Roome’s motion. Sic John Macdona'd acknowledged the great importance of the subject, and said that it had not been over- looked by the Government. ‘The Premier suggested a convention between the Domin- ion and Provincial authorities fur the dis- cussion of the question, and maturing of a plan which woul! meet the case. After the subject had been well ventilated, Dr. Roome’s motion was withdrawn.
A whole afternoon was taken up in dis- cussing 4 motion favoring the erection of monuments tothe Canad ‘an heroes of the war of 1812, etc. A number of patriotic speeches were delivered, and the motion was ac- cepted by the Government and carried.
A discussion took place the same after- noon on aresovlution dealing with the ex- pediency of increasing the bounty now al- iowed fishermen in proportion to the in- creased bounty allowed mauufacturers of pig iron,
Upon motion, on Thursday, for House to {go into committee of suppiy, Mr. Milis moved an amendment to the effect that, in the expenditure of public money, the pub- lic interest and not party tavoriteism should control; and in the choice of places for the erection of post offices, custom houses, and buildings for inland revenue purposes, re- gard should be had to the amount of revenue collected and the amount of busi- ness done. Mr. Mills disclaimed all in tention of attacking the present administra- tion, but his shaft had a puint all the same. I: the Opposition expected that the Govern- ment would consider it an assault on their policy and be driven to defence, they mis- calculated, for Sir John Macdonald put a wet blanket on the business by stating that the Government had no objection to the motion, and accordingly it passed. In the uebate several of our Island members were heard from—in fact ali of them, except Dr. Melntyre. They claimed that the Island was unfairly treated in the expenditure of public moneys.
On Friday afternoon, Mr. Laurier moved a v.ts of censure upon the Government four not getting through the work faster. Hecom- plained that the most important measures had not been touched, and, of course, blam- ed the Government for everything. Mr. Foster replied, and charged that, if there was any delay it was due to the obstructive policy of tLe Opposition, who by incessant talking blucked the business. ‘lhe motion was defeat-d by a vote of 95 to 57.
Late on Friday night, in Committee of Supply, oneof the biggeat seenes of the session was enacted, ‘The question before the Committee was the granting of a sub- aidy of $35,000 for three lines of steamers running between Halifax or St. John and the West Indies’ ‘he Opposition took '¢Xception toths vote which, they cuntend- ed, was excessive, and was in the jnberest

who is interested inthe company. Mr. Blake, in the course of some remarks, made some very sarcastic allusions to Mr. Baird, which had the effect of bringing Prof. Weldon, of Albert, N. B., to his feet. It was easy to see that the Professor was cross, and he went for Mr. Blake in fine style. He said it was a great thing to have a giant’s strength, but it was painful to see it misused. Why did not Mr. Blake a' tack his equals, and not the youngest men.- bers of the house / If parliamentary eti- quette did not forbid, he would characterize Mr. Blake’s conduct as that of the bully and the coward. If anyone had reason to be ashamed of his conduct, it was not Mr. Beird, but Mr. Blake, It wasa scene to be remembered, However, before adjourn- ment, Mr. Baird made explanations, Mr. Blake made apologies, ‘*‘and everyone went home, well satisfied with the even. ing’s entertainment.
To a question asked by Mr, Perry, the answer was returned that about 300 feet of brush work was, during the winter of 1889, placed on the West end of the work already dove at Cascumpec Harbor, to con + plete the shore front, and the sum of $309 expended thereon. The work was carried on under the superintendence of the light keeper at Sandy Island, and under the general direction of the Agent ot Marine at Charlottetown.
in answer to Mr. Perry, Mr. Colby said that the Agent of Marine at Charlottetown had been authorized, on the 30th January last, to carry out certain breastweorking required forthe protection of the Sandy Island light at Alberton harbor. He was limited to an expenditure of $400 and re- ceived general instructions to carry out the work in the most economical and useful
way. For work of a similar character done last year, Mr. Montgomery was paid 50
cents per load for brush in place, and Messrs. Montgomery and Wells each 50 cents per ton for stone in place.
Mr. Davies has moved for copies of all petitions to the Minister of Railways since Ist January, 1889, from employes of the LC. R. workshops at Moncton, and the P. E. 1. Railway, asking for an increase of wages; and also for copies of all answers to the same from the Department of Railways or any cefficial thereof. In making this motion, Mr. Davies drew attention to the discrimination existing between the pay of the I. OC. R. employes and that of the em- ployes doing the same class of work on the Island road, a discrimination which Mr. D. declared was unjust, and urged should be discontinued. No further discussion took place, but wher the papers are brought down the subject will doubtless be venti- lated. '
[u moving fora comprehensive return re- garding the blasting Operations at Cascum- pec harbor, Mr. Perry’ drew attention to the necessity of the rock being removed as soon as blasted, and that it shouid not be allowed to remain to obstruct navigation.
In answer to a question, the Mhnister of Agriculture stated that the two-rowed seed barley is expected before 1st April, and will be forwarded immediately on its ar- rival to those who have applied for it. It is being shipped in two-bushel bags, and will not be distributed to Agricultural So- cieties but to farmers only.
The Banking Bill is to be introduced next week, and the Budget Speech may be de- livered about the 21st inst.

Military Meeting.
THE anrual business meeting of the officers of the 82nd Battallion was held yesterday at 2.30 p. m. in J. D. McLvod’s Hall. It was one of; he most interesting meetings ever held by the battalion. The attendance was good. Lieut.-Col. Dogherty presided. Reports of the Band and Regi- mental Committees were submitted by the Secretary-Treasurer, showing a considerable balance to the credit ot the battalion. The following committees were appvinted for the ensuing year :
Band Committee—Surgeon Warburton, Capt. H. M. Davidson, Capt Stewart.
Regimental Commmittee—Capts. Crockett, Hooper, and Alexander.
Lieut.-Col. Dogherty called the attention of the officers to the probability of annual drill in camp this year, and trusted that they would make ali the necessary arrange- ments in time. He also referred tu the very excellent report of D. A. G. of No. 12 District with reference to last year's camp, and to the satisfaction it was to him- self as commanding offcer that the camp had been so successful. The conduct of both officers and men was ail that could be expected.
The Seeretary of the Batallion Rifle As- sociation submitted his annual report, show- ing the progress the Association had made since its organization a year ago; also the prize list of the first competition which was held last October. The report was unanimously adopted. It was also agreed to have the next prize meeting early in July next. The following compose the council for the present year :
President—Lt.-Col, Dogherty.
Vice-President —Major Purdy.
Members of Council.— Major McLeod, Capt. McPhail, Quarter Master Davison, Capts. Stewart, Crocket, Hooper and Alexander.
Secy-Treas,—Statf--ergt. M. Allan.
Lt.-Col. Dogherty stated that he had en- tered a Battalion ‘Team to compete in the Canadian Rifle League the coming summer, and he had no doubt but that the team would give a good account of itself when the time comes to compete fur the Domin- ion trophy.
It was moved by Capt. Hooper, seconded by Capt. Crocket, that Capt. Stewart be Capt. of the team.
After some discussion on other matters connected with the interior economy of the Battalion, the meeting adjourned.
