CLOSER TRADE RELATIONS.

An UItra-Loyal Speech Delivered by
 MT, Coekburn in the Canadian Par
 Iament-The Pros and Cons of Un-
 restricted Reciprocity.
 OTTAWA, March 19.-The budget debate
 was continued in Parliament tonight. It is
 thought Sir Richard Cartwright's resolution
 in favor of closer trade relations with the
 United States will undoubtedly be voted
 down by the government supporters, but such
 action will hardly indicate the feeling of the
 people. The debate was resumed this af-
 ternoon by Mir. Cockburn of Toronto, who
 delivered an ultra-loyal speech, which met
 with applause from the government benches, but was greeted with derisive cheers from the other side of the house. He instituted comparisons to show that the various prov inces of Canada are enjoying greater pros perity than the various States of the United States. He said the decline in land values in New York State from 1870 to 1888 was $27O, 100000, while Ontario in the same period experienced an increase of $66, ,250, ,000. He asserted that three quar- ters of the number of farms in New York State were mortgaged. All the Americans wanted was to get the trade of Canada and to give nothing in return.
 If Canada, as the opposition contended, really wanted closer trade relations, it would be better to look back to 1877, when the United States made her an offer which still holds good. This was an invitation to Can ada to become portion of the American Union on the same terms as the States form ing the Union. Then the resolutions of Con gressman Hit were endorsed by the liberals, who pretended to want only restricted reel procity.
 ''He made miss," laughingly interrupted Sir John Macdonald.
 Amid Interruptions he held up an Ameri- can political cartoon in which the American flag triumphantly waved over the union jack and the forms of prostrate trsdesmen. The American union cannot enter into un- restricted reciprocity with Canada because if she did it would be violation of treaties. Canada is not for sale, and come what will, she will work out her own destiny. Hon. L. H. Davies denied that the liberals were any more disloyal than the conserva- tives.
 MT. Temple came out in reply in favor of unrestricted reciprocity.
 Hon. John Haggart, postmaster general, went on to prove that unrestricted reciproci- | ty and commercial union were one and the { same thing, especially as they both required | a common American tariff. This, he claimed would be discriminating against England. | At 1:30 8. m. Cartwright's amendment ! was defeated by vote of A majority, the ' yota staDdino vess TT pavs 121

THE BANK OF PARIS
Xs Reported 10 be Deeply Involved in
 the Copper Troubles.

Ks Reported to be Deeply Involved tn
 the Copper Troubles.
 PARIS, March 19.-A pessimist feeling pre- vails regarding the position of credit houses, especially of the Banque de Paris, which is much discussed. It is reported that the bank is deeply involved in the copper troubles and is not expected to pay dividend for the past year. Moreover it is stated that the direc- tors of the concern announced at the bank ers' meeting last evening that they were not able to subscribe for the relief of the Comp toir d'Eseompte, having themselves lent 27,- 900, 900 francs on copper warrants. The de- cline of Societe des Metaux shares is attrib- uted to a report that the concern had def- nitely suspended payment and operations. Nevertheless there was large amount of buying and repurchasing in the copper mine market to day, the demand for Rio Tintos being especially strong.
 LONDON, March 20.-The Paris eorrespon- dent of the News says:
 "The Societe des Metaux has given notice of it's inability to take deliveries of copper from the mines and will tomorrow declare suspension of payments and demand the appointment of a judicial receiver. It is ru- mored to the shareholders of the Compton d d'Escompte will institute against the direc- tors for misapplication of the concerns funds to their or their friends uses or for culpable concealmeut of it's position on the last ball. ance-sheet which did not explain the copper liabilities"
 DELAWARE vs. CONNECTICUT. Can the Former Snatch Away a Rail- rOade
 PHILADELPHIA, March 19.-ssThe five rail- l road companies controlled by the Poughkeep- | sic bridge syndicate, viz: The Hudson Con- meeting railroad, the Poughkeepsie Bridge ! company, the Poughkeepsie and Connecticut railroad, the Hartford and Connecticut Vest ern railroad and the Springfield and Massa- chusetts railroad will all be merged into one company with a capital of $8,000,0O0. A charter was granted by the Delaware legisla- ture last week that will admit of the consoli- l dation being made. The consolidation will take place about June 1, by which time it is expected all the railroads will be completed. J
 Considerable Connecticut Western stock is
 owned in Connecticut, but it's control has has been taken out of the State, dividends have dwindled and stock has fallen off. The
 Hartford Corrant says: "A proposition is now pending before the railroad committee
 to load $2,000, ,000 of bonds upon the com.
 pany, which could effectually settle the divi. dend question for some time in the future
 Now comes this further plan to have State ot
 Delaware to sink the existence of the road
 altogether. It is possible that the legislature 1, of Connecticut now in session will take {
 turn at the matter in behalf of Connecticut X citizens"

 BRIDGEPORT, March 19.-Bridgeport ad- ministered 8 crushing defeat to New Haven at polo tonight; score 2 to 9. The game was played under the new rules adopted at at the meeting held last night, no waits only for bodily injury. The game was entirely free from broken skates and no fouls were called. Bridgeport played an excellent game. O'Maley oficiated in his white linen round about.

 There is policeman in Hartford named Cotter. We wonder if he can cage prisoner as quick as his namesake "Tommy" can cage 8 polo ball.
 Last nights Meriden Journal contains the following concerning the new polo rules: The only poor rule among the new ones is that about not stopping for broken skates, etc. Players as @ rule do not break their skates purposely. Under the new rule five players will frequently be seen playing against four and sometimes three, and that is not fair and will not give satisfaction to fair-minded peo- pie. A cute player will toss the ball over the railing and thus cause & wait for the benefit of his crippled colleague. The new rule can be easily circumyented. Still, it should be given fair trial and if it works we'll it will be a good thing.
 MERIDEN, March 19-The Hartford polo team covered themselves with glory last eve- ming by defeating the home team by score of to 1, but each team lost goal on fouls. The playing of both teams was characterized by rough work

THE CABINS FLOODED.
Passengers on the Steamer iroquois
Don Their Life Preservers.

NEW YORK, April 10-The steamship Iro-
quois, from Charleston, two days overdue,
arrived at midnight last night, with u feet
of the starboard side of the social hall
smashed in. She had 191 passengers. When
45 miles southeast of Bodies Island, gale
from the east-northeast swept down upon
the vessel, and at o'clock that afternoon
the wind and seas were so furious that it
was necessary that the steamer should be
hove to. The wind was blowing at the rate
of 90 miles an hour. All night the gale con |;
tinued and throughout Sunday. At noon Of
that day a tremendous sea came on board on
the starboard side, smashing in the Joiner
work of the social hall and scattering the
fragments In spllnters., The water rushed
down into the saloon below and flooded it.
Two of the staterooms in the opening off
the social hall, which is on the promenade or
upper deck, were destroyed, and in the sa-
loon the water was knee deep. The passen-
gers were greatly alarmed, but were soon re-
assured, and the saloon was cleared of wa
ter. The gale did not abate until Monday
noon, when the vessel proceeded. Mr.. Har-
ry Whiting, of Webster, Mass, who was on
board, said there were about so cabin pas
sengers. When the wave struck the vessel
on Sunday, the tables were set for breakfast,
and it was about 9 o'clock. The shock
knocked several passengers down, and about
eight were more or less injured. Mr.. Keogh
Of the Charleston Academy of Music was
badly cut on the head, and an elderly gentle
man also received bad cash in the temple.
There was almost panic for little while.
Many of the ladies rushed from their state
rooms, and not a few donned life preservers.
One lady came out wearing blanket, a bus
tie and life preserver. She was shrieking at
the top of her voice. On Monday another
wave came aboard, ripping off the forehatch
and flooded the forward compartment and
the fnrecaStle.

Clark says the strike will not affect oper-

hand to run four weeks, and by that time he
will have received all he requires from the

spinners' wages are $S per week. Here the

Newark and the Kearney mills they have 800
more spindles to care for than the Newark

than in the Newark mills, but the firm now

NEW YORK, April 10.-The Board Of
Trade today adopted resolution that as the
Interstate Commerce Commission was
created in response to the demand for gov
ernmental supervision of railroads, and was
called upon to decide mainly practical ques-
tions of transportation rather than technical
questions of law, and as it is now composed
entirely of lawyers, the board requests Pres
ident Harrison to fill any vacancy in the
commission by the appointment of mer-
chant possessed of some practical knowledge
of the necessities of Interstate commerce (;
that the appointments to the commission
should not be regarded as political or parti-
san emolument, and that they should be
made to establish tribunal for the protec-
tion of the commercial and industrial trans
portation interests of the country.
