Important Discussions in the House
Of Commons.
Finding Fault With Uncle Sans Duties
on Canned HOLSTERS.

Ottawa, March 10. In the House last night Mr..
Jones of Halifax called the attention of the gov
eminent to the fact that the United States govern
ment had been imposing duties on canned lebsters
in direct controvent;on of the articles Of the Wash
ington treaty.
The premier said that the government had al
ready made representations to the United States
government in reference to this matter. All that
could be done at present was to protest. nass
Mr. Flye said that he trusted something more
than a remonstrance would be made.
Mr. MacKsy of Cape Breton said that the duty
would seriously affect the Lower Provinces. 1t
would be absurd to say that the tins in which lob
sters were conveyed were of commercial value in
the United States and therefore there were no
grounds for imposing the tax
The discussion then ceased.
The Senate Yesterday discussed the bill for the
regulation and maintenance Of naval telegraph
cables in committee of the whole. Eleven out of

duly installed

Music by Richardson's orchestra preceded and
followed the ceremonies of installation. The
beautiful song, THE Iiappiest Time is Now, was
then sung by quartette of male voices, and was
happily rendered that only second appearance
would suffice. Comp. A. ID, Knight then intro
duced Past Grand High Priest Dallou, who made
few Characteristic and appropriate remarks. lie
spoke of the deep interest he felt in the welfare of
Jerusalem Chapter, and the pleasure lie ever en-
joyed in visiting it; the truth Of this was well
borne out by the frequency OF his visits He
spoke of the valuable tenets of the Order, and
sand that the enemies Of Masonry were those who
knew nothing Of it; that Masonry was based upon
the truest principles, and that if the institution
ever FELL its destruction would be through the
frailtes OF man, and not through any defect in its
principles, for it taught Truth itself and ruth is
mighty and will prevail through all time. Comp
Palmer, High Priest of Lebanon Chapter Of Gar
diner, was then introduced, who with pleasant
remark, yielded the floor to his town.man and
brother Companion. J X. Osgood. Comp. Osgood
expressed the hearty good will he felt towards
Jerusalem Chapter and its members. 1t was there
he received his first lessons in Chapter mysteries.
Visiting it was like traveller returning 10 child
hoods home, viewing its pleasant scenes and living
over again in memory its happy hours But he
thought the remarks Of others, the music of the
choir, or the banquet might be more enjoyable
to the audience than anything he could offer, and
therofore retired.
Comp. F. j. Day then came forward, holding
beautiful copy Of Mackey's Cyclopedia of Mason
ry, which in fitting words he presented to the re-
firing High Priest, Comp. j. w. Rowe of Augusta.
This proceeding took Comp. Rowe completely by
surprise, showing that there are secrets even
among Masons. The recipient earnestly thanked
the Companions for this token of their esteem !;
said that he had always endcavored to do his duty,
but feared that he did not merit the high compi-
ment awarded him.
Numerous complimentary remarks were adj
dressed to the ladies, TO which the Rev Miss
Haines Of Haowell pleasantly responded with
witty sailes and considerable humor, but she gave
the impression that she did not bear much real
hostility towards the Order. Another song from
the quartette, and then all repaired TO the tables
and parook Of the banquet After this an oppol-
tunity was offered to those who wished to dance
to engage in its enliyening exercise. Many en-
braced the opportunity, and those who did not
looked on with every evidence Of enjoyment. The
hearts of all beat lively as the livcest music.
The young enjoyed themselves as only the young
| can, and the old patrarchs lived over again the
pleasures and enjoyments of their youth.
The occasion was certainly one Of great enjoy
ment, not only to the members Of the order, but
TO all present.

examination Of witnesses for the prosecution
The cross-examination of Mrs. Doherty, the prin-

having been on the stand during the preceding
afternoon. Her testimony related particularly to
the axe with which she says the murder was com.
mitted, and other points Of the tragedy already
given.
The testimony of several witnesses who were
examined this afternoon, disagreed with that o
Mrs. Doherty in some particulars.
The men who first saw Carson after the affair
gave the story of the alleged murder a, related
at that time, and which is essentially the same a

Murderous Assault at Vincland
An Editor MORALLY Wounded.

Vineland, March 10. The most intense excite
ment prevails at this place over the shooting of
Mr.. Carruth, editor of paper here, by Chas. X.
Lands, well known as the Father Of Vineand."
1t appears that an article was published in the
paper, in which, however, no names were
mentioned, that Lands believed referred to him,
and at 10 o'clock this morning he went to the Of
fee of Carruth, and altar angry works a shot was
heard. Investigation disclosed the fact that Car
ruth was MORALLY wounded. Lands was imme-
diately arrested. The feeling against Lands is
very great and threats of lynching are freely
made. To avoid trouble the authorities removed
Lands to the jail at Bridgton.

days since, stating that the chaplain ofthe Reform
Club in that city, Rev. Ammi Ladd, had resigned
"bccause the members did not live up to their
principles" The Journal of that city says this
rather conveys wrong impression, and misrep-
resents Mr. Ladd. He announced that he could
not be candidate for reelection, for the reason
that his pastoratc in that city would close in few
days, and he would leave the city. There are
many who have lost faith in men who talk one

been reached in the history of the Reform Club in
