CANADIAN PARLIAMENT ROW
Disgraceful Scenes in the Ottawa
House Of Commons.

CHICAGO. March ia special to
the Tribune from Ottawa, Ont, says:
Desk pounding. palm slapping, sling
ing Of epithets and choruses Of groans
characterized yesterday afternoons
proceedings in the house Of commons.
II began with Sir Wilfred Laurier de-
clining to grant further courtesies to
the opposition with regard to notices
on the order paper. G. f. Foster took
objection amid manifestations OF ap-
proval and disapproval.
Mr.. Foster angrily nicknamed Sir
Wilfred His High Mightiness," "a
Visier' "a Car OF all the Russias," :"
His Majesty" and so forth.
When the speaker had succeeded in
restoring order. Sir Wilfred reproved
the opposition for violating the rules
Of decency which brought up Sir Chas
Tupper with the counter charge that
only a few nights back Sir Wllfreds
followers had shown their sense OF de-
cency by saying he had violated all the
ten commandments.
There was a roar that drowned Sir
Charles voice and Sir Richard Cart
wright got up, and insinuated 1t was
probably in Sir Charles own interest
the question was not gone into. Sir
Wilfred caught the speakers eye and
rose to asert the dignity Of the house
and said he would not indulge IN per-
sonalities. The scenes continued till
the end Of the sitting.

RUSSIA AND JAPAN,
Marquis Ito Says Reports OF War BE.
tween the Two Countries I'm
founded.

NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to tho Herald from Yokohama says;
Marquis Ito. former Japanese Prime
Minister In an interview said:
The rumors OF war between Russia
and Japan are unfounded newspaper
reports.
An agreement exists between Rus
sia and Japan to the effect that neither
power will encroach upon Corea and
We must believe that Russia is sincere.
The new Russian minister to Corea
has come TO Toxic and our relations
are most friendly"
Speaking about the South African
war. Marquis Ito said:
The outcome Of the struggle will De
to increase Englands greatness and
arouse new interest in the armies which
her colonies have developed. England
will have trained soldiers all over the
globe.
The policy Of Japan is not a colonial
one. The Japanese army and navy are
intended TO defend Japan and her inter-
ests, not for conQuests. Japan has no
money for war or aggrandizement
The new development of commerce
in the East renders it necessary for
each nation to protect its interests with
a show of power.
If the United States is to have the
commerce of the world she must mix
in foreign politics.
Japan. England and the United
States stand for the unity Of China.
Japan wishes China to develop un-
der her own government. There is no
danger of her swamplng the worlds
market because China is far behind
and, as she develops. wages will rise as
they have done in Japan.
The present reform revolutionary
concluded Marquis Ito, is |
because It has no following
among the people"

THE CUBAN PROBLEM.
Question of Future Status OF the Island
Must soon Be Determined.

NEW YORK. March ia special to
the Times from Washington says:
Four weeks hence the year allowed
by the treaty of peace with Spain for
the Spanish inhabitants of Cuba to de-
eide whether they will be Cuban or
Spanish citizens will expire. Immedi-
ately after that date, April II, accord
ing to the programme laid down by the
administration at the opening CT the
present session Of congress, prepara
tions are to be made for the holding Of
municipal elections and ultimately for
the election Of convention which will
decide upon the Cuban form OF govern
ment. To that government, according
to the original programme, the United
States was to surrender the control of
the island.
Whether the programme will be car
ried out in its entirety cannot certainly
be said. The senate committee on Gu
ban affairs has the subject before it.
The plan was Senator Forakers. and he
secured the consent of the admInistra-
tion to it at a time when powerful in
terests were contending for a different
policy, and when they had progressed
so far that the plan had been an
nounced to the public as the presidents
plan.
Senator Foraker is confident that 1t
will be adopted, and it is understood
that this is the reason why he is so anx-
ious for he immediate adoption Of a
civil government for Puerto Rico, with
or without tariff annex. He wants
Puerto Rico out Of the way, it is said,
in time for the bigger Cuban problem
to have a free field
Senator Platt, Of Connecticut, has
started for Cuba with Senators Aldrich
and Teller. Mr.. Platt is chairman Of
the committee on relations with Cuba
and he, with Messrs. Aldrich and Tel
Ter, form a Subcommittee which has
been delegated to go to Cuba and study
the situation. Nothing has been said
about the duration Of the stay the three
senators will make.
L is understood, however, that their
visit relates to the plebiscite of April II.

EFFEcT ON MKINLEY.
Democratic Rejoicing over the Puerto
Rican Tariff Dispute.

NEW YORK. Mar -s.--The Herald
publishes interviews with senators and
representatives on the Puerto Rican bill
as follows.
Senator spooner Of Wisconsin. said
tonight:
Whatever is done with the question
will not serve to alter the result next
November. Mr.. Mckinley will be re-
nominated and reelected"
Representative Richardson, Of Ten
nessee, said:
The great change of political senti-
ment that has swept over the country
within the last few months is largely
due to the vaeillating policy Of the
president and the action OF the repub-
licans in congress. 1t is, in my opinion,
a practically sure indication Of demo-
cratic victory next fail. Tha. change
has taken place there is no doubt. Tho
attitude OF that party towards Puerto
tsico has been severely rsbuked by men
ef every political belief. In word the
republicans have lost ground and the
democrats have gained ground"
Representative Clayton. of Alabama;
Il think the American people have
treated the Puerto Ricans shamefuIly
in dealing with them. 1 think that the
sugar trusts have Influenced the repub-
lican party. believe now that no mat
ter what the republican party may do
its past action will go strongly against
1t in the coming election"
Senator Clay, of Georgia:
Il think that the majority of the
people Of the United States are in favor
of treating Puerto Rico as a part Of the
United States; that they are in favor
Of free trade between the United States
and that island, think that whatever
action may be taken, it will now count
against the republicans and aid the
democrats. 1t viii certainly help the
democratic party at the polls"
Senator Shoup. Of Idaho, said:
The presidents attitude on the
Puerto Rican question win not lessen
his chances of election. He will be re-
elected and the effect of the Puerto
Riean legislation will not cut down
the republican majority"
Representative Pearce (rep., MOI,
said: Al
THE Puerto Rican question will not
act as the bomb that many democrats
think it will. The constitution did not
follow the flag when slavery was the
issue. and it loes not now"
Representative Brundige, of Arkan-
sas. said:
In my judgment the democrats will !
win most signal victory in the next !
presidentian election. And the recent |
backdown Of President Mckinley on the |
Puerto Rican question will very great
~ aid in bringing about this result. 1t |
seems that the time has arrived when |
the administration cannot trust the
people and the people will not trust the
administration"

MEAGRE WAR NEWS.
Order is Being Gradually Restored in
the Orange Free State.

NEW YORK, March ia dispatch
to the Tribune from London says:
News from every quarter Of the
theater Of var was neagre at midnight.
Gatacre's district is virtually cleared,
the rebels having been dispersed at
Ladygrey, East Berkeley, and Aliwai
North. @1S.i kH'@s iV7a
The bridge at Aliwal North was saved
after sharp fight. The railways will

river at the three points where cross
ings can be made into the Free State.
The rebellion among the whites of the
Prieska district is not making headway.
The British and Colonial forces are

other.
Runors that Cronje and the Boer
prisoners will be sent to st. Helena are
officially confirmed. The island win be
reached after a FIVE days passage, and
the prisoners will be more comfortable
there than they have been at Cape
Town, because they can be allowed
more liberty.
The text Of the correspondence be-
tween the presidents and Lord Sails
bury has been read with the liveliest
feeling Of satisfaction by the English
in South Africa, where it Is 'nterpre-
ted as a clear inmtimation that the war
must go on until the Dutch republics
are ready TO surrender Internationally.
The inference to be drawn from Pre-
torla dispatches is that the appeal Of
the two presidents was designed to
