The Neutrality-suspicious..

San Francisco, lin the mint inyesI
LEGATION, to-day, Ex-Governor Low, pre-
sident OF the Anglo California Bank,
testified that be had nothing to do with
placing Dodge in his present position.
He had neither asked nor received from
Supt. Dodge any favor not granted to
any other depositor at the mint. No low
grade bullion, to his knowledge, was
ever received from the Anglo-Califotnis
Bank upon an express stipulation. from
Mr.. Dodge. He stopped the sales OF
Northern Belle bullion to the Carson
mint becsuse the express charges on
coined silver from Carson to San Fran
cisco were in excess Of the saving of ex-
pressage of bullion delivered at Carson.

In The Commons.

London, 17.-In the Commons, to-day,
on motion for going into committee Of
supply, Parnell moved that the coercion
bill had not been administered in &C.
cordsnce with the pledges which ministers
had given when they induced Parliament
to suspend the Constitution, and he de-
clsred the action of government in re-
gard to coercion, prevented any gratitude
for the land bill. II was well known,
he said, II at but for the Land League,
the whole strength Of the Commons
would be unavsiling to force the land
bill through the Lords. He thought the
Irish people would be wise if they con-
tinued to rely upon their own exe-tions,
which had procured them such an in
stallment Of just right. Mr. Lslioro,
Daily and others, followed Parnell,
the principal point nude by all
the speakers being that the power
of arrest under the coercion act had been
used to crush political agitation, not
against the sufferers whom Chief Seere-
tsry for ireland Forster der ouEced in his
speech introducing the coercion bill.
VIM. johnson, solicitor general for
Ireland, replied, denying these accuss-
tions He said he hoped before long that
peace aud order would be thoroughly re-
stored and the prison doors be opened.
Anderson (sdvsnced liberaD member
for Glasgow, joined Nolan in urging the
release OF suspects. The latter in urging
immediate release, said if government
waited until everyone in Ireland WAS
contenied with the land bill, the release
of the prisoners would be long deferred.
The debate was then adjourned.

A NEW ROUTE.

The Nelson Valley Railway and
Transportation Company has issued
a prospectus OF a new route to Eu-
rope. They propose to build line
OF railroad from Lake Winnipeg to
Churchill, on Hudson's Bay. 1t
would be great bopn 10 the Brit
ish Northwest if through this chan
mel of communication could be made
accessible the fertile regions of the
great west. The advantages would
be manifold. The fact is of lmpor-
tauce that it is nearer Liverpool
shan either New York Or Montreal
Again, there would be only 400
miles of railroad from one of the
finest harbors on the continent to
Winnipeg, the business mart of the
province OF Manitoba.
Man can overcome almost every
thing, but there is one obstacle III
the way of making Hudson Bay a
medium of communication with
the rest of the world. If it was
some obstruction that science could
grapple with, we would have no
fear but the near future would see
that an important channel of COM
merce; but there is one obstacle
that science cannot overcome the
elements-and the Straits being
closed about the close OF harvest,
(there being but about two months
Of nayigation) it would necessitate
the holding of each crop for a
whole year before they could get II
to market. This would render it
OF, little value, for grain usually
seeks an immediate outlet, and the
only reliance they can have for a
market is on Railways, and until
the Canadian Pacific syndicate is

trolling the Dominion the settlers
OF that province viii have to sub

ton may feel disposed to iniiict up.
