Discussion of Its Merits In the Dominior
Hou of Commons.

OTTAWA, April 10.-In the House Of
Commons this afternoon Sir Charles Tup-
per moved The second reading OF the bill to
ratify the fisheries treaty. In his speech in
support of the motion he reviewed the cir
cumstances connected with former treaties
between the United States and Great Brit
ain concerning the fisheries OF Canada.
The reciprocity treaty of 1854 was a just
one, and he believed a majority of the peo-
pie OF both countries believed it's abroga-
tion was a mistake. This abroga-
ton was caused by an iil-founded
belief in the United States that
Canada had helped the South during
the late wal. He was sorry that public
opinion in the United States had led TO the
passage OF the retaliation act. Concerning
this treaty be did not intend to state to
the House all the advantages which might
be claimed br it, because every word he
uttered to-day might be used against him
in the United States Senate tomorrow,
where III was nOcSihla tharo

in passing the treaty than in the Canadian
House OF Commons. The speaker touched
on some provisions OF the treaty and then
proceeded to recite the consequences of
making this treaty. In concluding. Sir
Charles declared it to be of the most vital
importance tcsTanada that this treaty be
adopted. Mr.. Davies, of Prince Edward
Island, replied in opposition to Sir hi rles'
He held that the treaty was an
demonstrations surrender on the part Of
Canada OF all that the Americans claimed,
and that Canada was to-day asked to con-
cede at the point of the bayonet what she
ought to have yielded gracefully long ago.
When Dawes was through the Minister of
Justice replied in a bIief speech, reviewing
the points made by Mr.. Davies.

On Tuesday last the young Pomeroy threw
his infant twin sisters OF a bench. They
were picked up by May Crooks, a nurse
girl, and placed in bed. She cautioned the
boy about touching the children, and left
the room. She had no mors than left
when the infant would-be murderer picked
up OF his twin baby sisters and broke
both OF her legs and an arm by twisting
and pounding the limbs. He then seized
the other and succeeded in only breaking
