ONTARIO LEGISLATURE.
Lieut.. Gov. Kirkpatrick Speaks Of United
States and England's Relations.

Toronto, Feb. IL The Legislature
opened at 2, today, with the usual cere-
monies. Lieut. Gov Kirkpatrick in his
speech from the throne, said
- l am glad to notice that the action of
the government of the United States with
respect to the territorial rights of Great
Britain in South America, which caused
so much anxiety,a few months ago, is not
likely to LEAD to rupture of the peaceful
relations which have so long existed be
tween the two nations and with so much
advantage to both.
1T is gratifying to know that in case of
any trouble affecting the interests of the
mother country, no sacrifice which circum-
stances II light demand, would be con
sidered too great by the people of Ontario,
should they be called upon to repel in
vasion or defend the integrity of the
British empire
The fact that the agricultural associa
tions of the province are in II flourishing
condition and the famers of Ontario are
doing all in their power to meet the adj
verse conditions consequent upon the low
prices of farm produce by study of i'm
proved methods, was commented upon.
