Passage of the Tariff Bill.
OTTAWA (Ont.), April 2Tth.-Sir Charles
Tupper delivered his annual budget speech
in the House of Commons this afternoon.
He showed probable deficit of $1,O00, 900
for the year ending June 30th next.
There had been applications for further
tariff changes, he said, but the Government
did not propose to make any alterations
this year. A year ago he had referred to
the very unpleasant relations that were
then threatened between the United States
and Canada. He was glad the cloud had
been driven away by the fisheries treaty
which hsd been concluded between the two
countries. The Parliament of Canada would
undoubtedly ratify the treaty, but no mat
ter what the action of the Senate of the
United States may be, he believed nothing
would disturb the continuously harmoni-
GUS intercourse and that friendly recipro-
city of good neighborhood between the
two countries.
1t was proposed to perpetuate the good
feeling now existing by taking steps to
meet the provisions of the Mills tariff bill.
He had every hope that the Mills bill
would become a law this year. and in or
der, therefore, that Canadian lumber and
salt might enter the United States tree, un-
der the terms of the bill, the Government
ought to Obtain the power to abolish export
duties by en- order of the Council.

men born in the South. The League has a

League are purely social and benevolent
but it was understood that nearly all its
members are Republican in their politics.
The trouble is over the support by Presi-
dent Thomas c. Jarrott of Fellows, a Dem
ocrat, for District Attorney at the last elec-

up by the Age, the colored newspaper here
and fight will be made over the Presi-

The Earth.

In the universe everything is changing
and everything is in motion, for motion
itself is the first condition of vitality
The firm ground, long thought to be i'm
movable, is subject to incessant motion ;
the very mountains rise or sink; not only
do the winds and ocean currents circulate
round the planets, but the continents
themselves, with their SUBMITS and val
leys, are changing their places and slowly
travelling round the circle of the globe.
In order to explain all these geological
phenomena it is no longer necessary to
imagine alterations in the earth's axis,
ruptures of the solid crust, or gigantic
subterranean downfalls. This is not the
mode in which nature generally proceeds
she is more calm and more regular in her
operations, and, chary of her might, brings
about changes of the grandest character
without even the knowledge of the beings
that she nourishes. She upheaves noun
tains and dries up seas without disturbing
the fight of the gnat Some revolution
which appears to us to have been pro-
duced by mighty cataclysm has, per
haps, taken thousands of years TO accom-
plish.-

Congress to Investigate the Alaska Com

ICopyight 1888, by tie California associated Press
WASHINGTON, April 27th-The House
answered the demand for an investigation
of the Alaska Commercial Company by
adopting the Dunn resolutions to-day. The
authority is thus conferred upon the Com
mittee of Merchant Marine and Fisheries
to investigate without limit, the affairs
of the company and all matters involved
in determining the future policy of the
Government as TO management of its fur
seal fisheries, and to investigate and report
to Congress upon the question of the juris-
diction of the United States upon the
waters of Behring Sea.
This will likely prevent any further action
upon the WoodbuTn resolutions which were
referred to the Committee on Rules some
time ago. DIR. Dunn said to-day that as the
company's lease expired in $780, the idea
struck him that an investigation would be
good thing, in order to better determine
whether the Government should continue
its present policy or not, with regard to the
fisheries. He had heard a number of mem
bers on both sides Of the House speak in
favor of an investigation resolution.
