In THE House Of Commons last week
a motion to amend the reply to The
speech from the throne 30 as to demand
the restriction Of the power ofthe House
of Lords was opposed by Premier AS
quitb, who explained that its omission
from the kings speech was necessary 10
order to avoid an immediate appeal to
the country. Such az appeal, he said,
the liberal party could not make with
out violating its pledges to perform other
tasks. He promised, however, that ct
the earliest possible moment the question
of the power of the lords to exercise
check upon legislation would be submit
ted to the country. This amendment
was rejected 225 to AZ. 1t will be sad
day for Great Britain, when the power
of the Lords is curtsiled for they act SIS
a balance wheel for the government.

DECLINE IN WHEAT.

There was q determined effort on the
part of the bears In the wheat trade to
stampede the market In Ohic'go yester-
day morning, and possibly put an end
to the bull campaign. Selling was Of
large enough force to badly disfigure the
market, as there was smash Of Al cents
in the May price on first trades, and
July contracts also suffered a sharp de-
cline. March wheat prices on frat
trades Yesterday covered range from
$I.I7 to $1.15. The bull leaders bought
some wheat around ST.. 16, and the price
rebouuded to $1.17. Later In the after
noon the active months showed heavi-
ness. The close vas $1.15s1.153. A
rumor that line Of 5000, 900 bushels
of wheat bad been settled between east
ern shorts aud Patten was denied by the
latter at the close of the market.
f'Unless the prospects for the future
production of wheat show that the
methods applied to agriculture can In
crease the production of the staple per
acre, the increase in population, which
is sure to come, will produce a very dis
tinct shortage in the supply" This broad
statement was made by DR.. ]. P. Goode,

A PECULIAR feature of the passing
w,ntsr which has been one Of the mild
eat on record, is that there have been no
three consecutive cold days in this Vi
cinity. Several times the mercury hs'
been down as far as fifteen and eighteen
degrees above zero, butinvarisbly would
warmer weather Immediately follow,
thus preventing the formation of ice OF
anv considerable thickness. Several
times has the river of this city been
covered nearly from shore to shore With
a thin coating of ice but each time the
ice entirely disappeared within twenty
four hours. Few people in sill this Sec
ton of country have been able to gather
ice for next summers use so they will be
entirely dependent upon this city for
their supply of either northern or man
ufsctured ice, made or brought here.
This will be a great Inconvenience ana
expense to the country people, mauy Of
whom take boarders during the summer,
and may prevent some Of them from de-
ing so as town people will not nova
