TORONTO, March 16.-The Railway COM
mittee here has just passed the Niagaza
Falls Railway Company bill. This scheme
gives the company the right to build rail-
road along the edge of the river under the
brow of the cliff, and if the bill passes the
Legislature, it will destroy all the hopes of
Lord Dufferin's International Park project
ever being carried out An attempt is being
made to get the Ontario Government to sus-
pend action on the matter until it is learned
what the New York Legislature is to do in
relation to the establishment of Park on
the American side.
The creditors Of William Thompson &
Company, hardware merchants, who failed
recently with liabilities of $3.50, 900, have
unanimously decided to accept sixty cents on
the dollar The business of the firm will be
resumed Immediately.
OTTAWA, March 16.-In view of the re-
fusal of the authorities of British Columbia
to allow Chinese to land in that Province,
the Dominion Government will disallow an
act passed last month by the Provincial Leg
islature prohibiting the Chinese from enter
ing the country.
The Government is considering a scheme
to fit out a number of armed schoOnerS to
watch the fishing grounds of maritime prov
inces and prevent American fishermen from
taking fish in Canadian waters. 1t is
thought steamers would be of little use for
this purpose, as their movements could be
watched, and American vessels treSpaSSing
would be able to get outside the three-mile
limit before steamer could overhaul them.
The proposal, therefore, is to arm. and equip
number of schooners which Americans
will be unable to distinguish from ordinary
fishing crafts.
