of Parliament

OTTAWA, ONT, March 25.-The Do
minion Parliament was opened at 8
o'clock this afternoon by his E1celency,
the Governor-General. with speech from
the throne.
His Excellency expressed his gratifica-
tion at the evidences throughout the
Dominion OF loyalty and affection for the
Queen and the empire in celebrating the
diamond jubilee, and announced that
arrangements are being made for an eff
fective representation of the Dominion in
connection with the commemoration of
the historic occasion in London. His
Excellency also hoped that the settlement
OF the Manitoba school question will put
an end to the agitation which has marred
the harmony and impeded the develop
ment Of the country and will prove the
beginning of new era, to be character
ICED BY generous treatment of one another
mutual concessions and reciprocal good
will.
Confirming, his Excellency said: "A
measure will be submitted to you for q
revision of the tariff, which it is believed
will provide the necessary revenue and,

interests, viii! make our fiscal system m ore

A number of Italian troops have also
arrived at Gambia. The foreign admirals
to-day issued a general order to the inter-
| n rational re-enforcements exhorting them
to set an example to the Cretans, whom
the powers have charged them to protect
from the horrors of civil war. The or

Turks, in accordance with instructions
from Constantinople, have begun to dis

It was this alone which saved the Mos

Montevardia and Halepa are both within

continue to shell both places.
This evening part of Malaxa was blown
up with dynamite and the rest of the
town is burning. The Turkish warships

Malaxa is one of the towns mentioned
by the foreign admirals in their procla-
nation issued on Tuesday that must not
be attacked by Greek troops or insurgents.
The admirals declared that the fortifca-
tions which were needed to maintain Sc
curity and quiet" must not be fired upon,
otherwise they would use force against the
attackers. 1t was the dlso o5ediencs OF the
insurgents 10 this proclamation that led
the foreign warships to lombard them.
These vessels fired ninety shells, three of
which fell within the forts.

The others have not been heard from, and
it is supposed that they were killed.
The Mussuimans here, and they COM
prise almost the entire population, are in
a state Of great excitement. They fear
that the insurgents, ela,ed by their cap
ture and destruction of Maaxa, will at
tack Keraidi.
A force OF 500 Highlanders was landed
at Gambia to-day, and its appearance in
the city caused the most intense excite
ment. The populace evidently were
ignorant of the Highlanders coming un-
til they were in town. The Turkish
troops were at loss to account for their
appearance and apparently thought that
they were about to be attacked. The
Turkish officers had much ditnculty in
enting their men from firing on the
British troops.
The garrison troops rushed to the shore
from all directions, leaving their rifles as
they ran and uttering threats against the
British. The latter remained perfectly
cool and eventually the irritation was
Gained. All danger, however, is not over.
The Turkish troops 90 not appear to
grasp the fact that the presence of the
foreigners is practically the only thing
that saves them from annihilation.

CANEA, CRETE, March 25.-The artil-
lery of the insurgents surrounding the
town of Maiaxa having rendered that
place untenable to the Turkish troops
comprising the Malaxa garrison, the lat
ter began retreat to Suda Bay last even
ing. They were pursued by the insur-
gents, who kept up a heavy fire upon the
Turks inficting a heavy loss upon them
in killed and wounded until the Turkish
warships opened fire upon the insurgents,
causing them to retire to the interior. But
for the timely assistance of the warships
the Turks would have been well mig an
initiated.
The attempt to revictual the garrison al
MalaIa which was made last night was as
disastrous to the Turks as was the effort
they made yesterday. The detachment of
troops carrying a supply of provisions
was met by a strong force of insurgents
and compelled to retreat with considerable
loss
The fighting in the vicinity of Malaxa
continued throughout the day. 1t was
especially desperate al O'Clock this after

barded them this afternoon. The insur-
gents. however, held their ground close to
the ruins of he block house, from which
they drove the Turkish garrison last
night, and did not seem TO greatly mind
the bombardment.
When the Turkish troops eTacuated the
blockhouse they set fire to it in order that
it might not furnish shelter to their
enemies. 1t was, however, badly
wrecked by the fire of the rebels.
1t is evident that the Turkish troops
here are no match for the insurgents. A
body of troops made an attempt to-day to
gain the heights above Nerok- Ouru,
where the Keratidi blockhouse is situated.
With this position and the one at Malaxa
in their possession the insurgents would
be. able to completely blockade Canea
from the land side.

A body of insurgents made an attack

hope that a final and satisfactory adjudi-
cation of those long delayed claims will

His Excellency then referred to the
calamity in India, and the generous re-
sponse of Canadians to the appeal for aid.
and concluded with a notice of the esti-
mates for the coming year.

BATTLE OF L1ssA.
First Encounter of Ironcfads after fhe
american Ctpst Var.

First Encounter of Ifonclads after fhe
american Ctpst Var.
The battle OF Lissa is memorable as be-
ing the first fight with ironclad war vessels
after the close of the American Civil Wa5.
1t was fought on July 20, 1866, in the
Adriatic Sea, off the island of Lissa, and
between Austrian and Italian warships
Italy since 1860 had devoted great atten-
tion to naval matters and had spent since
that time f12,0Oo.0Oo on her feet. Her
two finest ships, the Re d'Italia and the
Re di Portogallo. cost f325, 600 each and
had been built at Webb's yard, New York.
They were of 5700 tons (old measure ment)
with seven inches of armor, the first car
rying two 0-pounders with thirty 6-inch
guns and four smooth bores, the second two
300 Founders with twenty-six 6-inch guns.
But they had been built with green wood
and were weak in the ribs. They lacked
buoyancy and maneuvering power and
their rudders were exposed, fault which
led to grave results at Lissa.
Next to them was the Affondatore, a
turret-ram OF 4070 tons, built at MilM all
on the Thames. She carried five-inch
armor and two 300-pounder Armstrong
guns, placed in two tarrets. Her enor-
nous ram projecting twenty-six feet and
her powerful armament led the Italians to
consider her as their best ship, while Per-
sano in particular put almost childish
faith in her. Yet she, too, was bad sea
boat, plunging very heavily, owing to the
great weight of turret ald belt forward,
and her steering was clumsy and at times
irresponsible.
The two small rams Terrible and For
midable, OF 2700 tons, had been built in
France. They carried AZ inch plating
and 6-inch rifles as their primary arma-
ment. The Maria Pia, Castelfidardo. An
coma, San Martino and Principe Carig-
nano were broadside ironclads of oyer 1000
tons with an end to end armor ON the
water-line.
Two armored gun boats, the PaIestro and
the Varese, each carried two Armstrong
l5O- FOUNDERS with some smaller guns.
Besides these were numerous frigates and
steam corvettes. There were nine OF these
at Lissa carrying from fifty to twenty-four
guns.
This fine fleet was placed under com.
mand of Admiral Count Carlo Pellion di
Persano, who had spent his lie in the
Sandman navy. He proved TO be vaciIlat-
ing and lacking in dash and bravery, and
bis conduct before and during the battle
exhibited incapacity and cowardice
HIS disinclination to attack the Austrian
