1tasee1 AoI pfAVate CONSIDERATION by leaders
OF the oppuRition, resulting in decision
not to move in the matter until the policy
OF the government appears moro definite.
Ihe foreign Office Is unusually dilatorv in
the production OF papers in the cnse. Mr..
J. ". Lowther, parliamentary secretary for
torelgn affairs. denies lnost of the resent
uetalls. No negotiations have yet reached
sne foreign office, but as the anxiety for an
!, early settlement becomes heightened BY
every days cable dispatches tho postpone-
Ihent OF the governments explanation will
not be accorded beyond tho end of next
week. The motive Of Salisbnry's conduct.
az 10 we'll known in official circles. is found
IN the promptings Of Sir Charles Tupper,
who has been advising the government to
show fight against the renewal of the modus
vlvendl on the ground that II is not fair to
Canada, us it will lock up cap
ltal now invested IN sealers. The
platform Of the extreme tory organs is that
the opinion Of the country is dead against
Salisbury for risking q quarrel with the
unlted States for the sake of small capi-
tal invested III fish boats. To-morrow's
Speaker will indicate the attitude of the
liberals in arguing that the reasons
that induced Salisbury to agree
to rnodus yivendi in 1891 apply with equal
force in favor Of renewal in 1892; that if the
Engl1sh government is confident Of the
strength OF its case there ID all the greater
cause to be conteat to await the decision OF
the arbitration tribunal, and to be ready
meanwhile to meet the Washington execu-
tive on q provisional arrangement. The
olnchlty causes no comment among min
lsterlallsss. who rely upon Salisbury's pru-
dence, Nor is serious rupture with the
un.sed States thought possible on either
s1da ofthe house. Salisbury's final accept.
ance OF the modns vivendi is held inevita-
bic. What stirs the opposition is the need
less discussion of comparatively trivial
matter, tending to excite irritation in
America.

popular anger by allowing the arbitration

The debate awoke the memory of Irish
members to the fact that the Catholic
emancipation act of 1929 forblds Catholics
to exercise the ceremonies of religion ex-
eept inside of places of wotship. Patrick
OBrien will move in committee an extern

PROFESSIONS, shall be abolished.
The prospect of the appointment Of q
successor to the late Cardinal Manning has
led to discussion i'll Masonic circles on
the recognition OF British Free Masons by
the Catholic church. Sir Charles Dixie
contends that the time is opportune for
Catholic authorities in England and the
Masons, with their ha mless symbolic
rights and secret societies, under the ban
OF the vatican.
Mrs. Osborne, after sentence yesterday,

Lord Salisbury WAS granted audience by
the queen to day. the last audience before
her departure for Hyeres. The prince and
princess of Wales hnve taken with them to
Riviera the trained nurse who attended
Prince George to wait on Princess Maud,
who is threatened with lung disorder.
Since Clemer's motion III favor of per-
manent treaty of arbitration with the
United States was indefinitely postponed
under pressure of government business q
report has been circulated in the lobbles of
the commons that Salisbury has received
private assurance of the readiness of the
American government to negotiute such
treaty. The liberals accert. the report as
true and if the session lasts beyond Easter
Mr.. Cremer will renew the motion, which
will be supported by the bulk of the liberals
and number of conse, vatlves, and is Ger
tain to .be carried. In the event of ealler
dissolution the resolution will be brought
mp as early as possible after the assembling
of the new parliament. Memorials in fnyo.
of the treaty were signed by 125,O00 work
inomen, proving that the temper of the
country will not stand Salisbury's worry-
ing policy towards Il kindred nation.
