OSCAR WILDE:

A prominent New York
Artist photographed a
short time ago Mr.. Oscar
Wilde, the Esthetic apostle,
in many positions which
are very characteristic, as
being explanatory OF the
doctrines of this new dis
cipIe. Among many of the
compositions which were
emblesnatic, were some,
with the dim and shad0Wy
patterns Of sunfioWers and
lilies on the walls, and used
as accessories in the interi-
ors. and when exterior
compositions were used,
then the artist was equally
happy in their arrangement
The proof of the negatives
gave Mr.. Wilde the greatest
satisfaction, as does the
Esthetic and other poses OF

CANT studio is located in

CANADIAN INDEPENDENCE
Receives a Setback in the Dominion

Receives q Setback in the Dominion
House of Commons.
OTTAWA, Ont, April 22.-In the debate last
night in the House of Commons on the desira-
bility of Canada negotiating her own CONNER
cal treaties directly or not as at present,
through the British foreign Office, Mr.. Macken-
ze said he was panied and surprised to hear
the Premier descending to the paltry policy of
declaring that the adoption of the resolutions
would have the effect of disturbing the rela-
tions between this country and Great Britain.
He believed on the contrary that such a
course would strengthen the bonds of union,
and thought Canada was as fully capable of
managing her own affairs as the Parliament of
Great Britain. If. as the leader of the
government said, an English ambassador could
carry on Canada's business well enough, why
was Sir Alexander Gait sent home to go in at
the back door, while other ambassadors went
in at the front? Sir Alexander's position was
such that when any diplomatic arrangements
were going on in which Canada was interested,
he was permitted to sit in an ante-room, to be
called in by the ambassador when it was de-
sired to ask him anything. This was degrading
to Canada, and he limited that it had only been
brought about in order to get rid of Sir Alex
ander Gait, for the reason that he is q strong
supporter of the very principle laid down in
this resolution. Mr. McDougall also supported
the resolution. At q. m. a vote was taken
which resulted as follows For the resolution,
58; against it, 104.

XLVIIth Congress-lst Session.
HOUSE.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, April %.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
commissioner of agriculture to inform the
House whether any portion OF the United
States is adapted to the growth ofsCinchona.
Mr.. Robinson of New York, rising to par
liamentary inquiry, referred to the fact that
the resolution relating to American citizens
in Ireland had not yet been reported by the
committee on foreign affairs, although the
rules reqired that it should be reported back
within one week. 1t was now three months
since the resolution was referred to the COM
mlttee, and he inquired how long the House
was to wait before the committee reported in
regard to American citizens still held in Jail
by an imprudent and overpowering monarch.
The Speaker held that it was not privileg-
ed question, whereupon Mr.. Robinson moved
to discharge the committee from further con-
siderativn of the resolution.
Mr.. Cox of New York sustained the motion.
Mr.. Donnell of Minnesota, member of the
committee, defended the committee, declaring
that the English government was disposed to
accede to the demands of our government.
Our government was not at fault and the COM
mittee would show that fact If it We're allowed
time to complete its report The matter went
over to Monday.
Mr.. Robinson stated he would call it up
again Monday.
The House resumed the consideration of the
bill providing for the judicial ascertainment of
private claims.
Mr.. Springer of Illinois ridiculed the state
ment recently made by Mr.. Camp of New
York about rebel war claims, and declared
that if there was any party waiting the advent
of the Democratic party into power, with the
expectation that any rebel claim would be paid
that party would wait in vain. In conclus ion
he advocated the adoption of a constitutional
amendment on the subject OF ascertainment Of
private claims.
Mr.. Briggs of Missouri opposed the Bowman
bill He said the bill should be entitled "a
bin to surrender the treasury to claim agents"
Mr.. Stephens of Georgia was in favor of
paying the honest claim of any person.
Mr.. Holman of Indiana offered an amend
ment providing that the jurisdiction of the
court shall not include any claim for destruc-
ton OF property by the army or navy, and that
no claims shall be allowed unless the person
shall prove to have been loyal throughout the
rebellion.
Mr.. Bowman of Massachusetts opposed the
amendment.
After debate Mr.. Holman's amendment was
adopted and the House substitute was rejected.
Mr.. Bragg moved that the original BOW
man blP' as amended by Mr.. Holman be COM
mitted to the Judiciary committee, and the
vote stood 81 to 81.
Mr.. Bowman raised a point of order. No
quorum and the matter went over until Mon
day.

American SUSPECTS.


LONDON, April 23.-The Observer says there
is reason to believe that before the end of this
week all American suspects imprisoned IN Ire
land will have left the country.
One of the suspects claiming American ma
tjonality refuses to accept an offer of release.
He came to ireland with the express object of
raising an international question. The Tele-
graph has reason to believe that no decision
has been arrived at in regard to American sus-
poets.
Among the passengers on steamer Gallia
which sailed from Liverpool Saturday for New
York are Lord Randolph Churchill and Lady
Churchill, Lord EIphinstone. Duke OF Man
chester, and Lord Vaudeville, hiss on and

The Case of DR.. Lamson.
The British Medical Journal in an article on
the case of DIR. Lamson, says: 1t is sincerely
to be hoped that the new testimony from Amer
lea will enable the Home Secretary to arrive at
the conclusion that DR.. Lamson was insane
when he committed the murder, but it must
be admitted that the evidence heretofore pub
lished does not justify any such belief, nor
does it apparently warrant interference with
the course of the law.
