tends this week to ask the question, which
the speaker prevented him from putting
Just previous - the recess, as to the con
nectiCn between the Newfoundland fishery
difficulty and the English occupation of
Egypt. The idea of any relationship be-
tween the two matters may seem far
fetched one; but there IS undoubtedly 4
widespread notion among members which

other points France would ct once assent

but that the French government IS giving

two countries have FLASHED. II IS this idea

grounds for believing that the whole

docks. Some men yesterday made one shll-

they can hardly have rs free j hand in this
direction If the companies are to virtually
select the gangs. But a more pressing
grievance IS that. with the increasing
power Of the foremen and officials, the men
have to stand aside who made themselves
prominent as members OF the union, and 1t IS
with extreme difficulty that the officials Of
the union are preventingithe men from taking
precipitate action. with view of righung

directors knew their own minds there
would be very little trouble at the docks.
GREATLY DIsMAYED.
The British government is greatly dis

The opponents of the traffic intend to cele

and will insist on the obedience by the
government TO the mandate of parliament.
