Walker, 25a Imxierial avenue. GERMANY'S AltMV JULL. Itnilleitls Olijert lo It a Involving l'nneceHnrjr Taxation. Pi in, in, January IX Kngmie Itichtor, leader of the liadicals, delivered himself of a long speech in the Army Hill commission to-tlny the proposals of tho Government. He accused Chancellor Aon Caprivi of looking only upon the military side of the bill and Ignoring the popular side.

The army, he said, always assumed that the people, not having a technical military education, hod Ihh to say about expenditure for tho army than about other expenditures 1 en use they could not graspthe Military tii'Mssity of the Kmnire. Tho military experts, how ever, were blind to tho economic needs of the country, ami refused to understand that at present tho people could not endure higher taxation. '1 ho huncellor had said nothing to indicate that tho international situation was such ss to rcijuire new and extraordinary effort on the part of tho German tax payer, and unless this was tho case llichter could not see why thi-j ell'ort should he put forth. In replying Chancellor von Capri vi a know lodged that the Kiiropean situation was no more threatening than in hen lie addressed bis famous ro-pToof to the professional pessimists in German politics. Nevertheless the iven merit was convinced of the pressing net cssity of passing the bill.

It was true, as had been remarked, that the North tea and Baltic canal would increaso the ellicienry ol the German navy in the nott war. At the same time it would roipiiro a lar.e force for its protection and would weaken the army correspondingly. Freiher von tstuuin, the ono independent Conservative member of the co u-mission, while admitting that German taxes already were very heavy, believe 1 thut rather than risk any interests of the empire tho deputies should agree to the Government's proposal to Increase them. (. hunc ellor von Caprivi explained to tho reinmission that he Had not given it as his opinion that Kugma's way to Constantinople lay through Berlin.

The report to that ellect had been tho result of a lalse inference. Tin: skkviax mors Were far Horn Merlona Tban at Flrat purled. January 13. One hundred Servian itadicals have been arrested for complicity in the recent riots which were much graver than tho oflicial reports represented them to be.

In the fight thirty ltadicals were seriously wounded and a gendarme was shot dead. At Tsatsak, a Kadicnl was killed in a fight between armed Kadicald and the police. Nebrakka'a Deadloi-k Ended. Linooln, January 13. The deadlock in the Legislature was broken today i nd the two houses met in joint session nd canvassed the votes.

Governor 1 oyd's farewell message was read this tdternoon, and Governor Crounse duly installed. The ('lystals have opened their serios with a victory, and an overwhelming ono at that. They met the Quebec team last night and the men from the Rocky city were not in it from tho start to the finish. The latter attribute this to the fact that they had several juniors on thoir loam. Anyhow, they were overmatched.

Thero in considerable oil-side play, nioro on tho part of the Crystals than thoir opponents, but for ull that the home team sin wed some marvellous combination woik last night that would have won them the match anyway. Thev havo a fin ward division that cannot ho denie.1 In ony company, and the team play they exhibited last night was all the moro conspicuous contrasted with tho comparative absence of it on the part of tho tine-hcis. '1 he old bands on tho latter with (Swift and some of tho otl ers got in some ouusioiiul brilliant runs but sustained support wus lacking, the natural result of which was that the Crystal flags wore seldom seriously threatened. Thero wus niore or less rough play, but then a hoc-kty insti ll is not a (Sunday school tea meeting and, en the whole, the match wus clean while any one who witnessed it cannot deny its swiftness. The score itell of eight games to three in tho hour's play is ample testimony of this fact.

It was simply a question of goal, goal, goal, all the time. lielcrco Jones blow his whistle just before 0 o'clock and Murray got lie face. In met ho seemed to have a patent ritfiit on it throughout the contest. Tho puck wus passed out to Mcljuiston and the home team rushed the liiflit down into the visitots' quarters in lightning skylo It whs ultngethcr too fust to follow, but the home leum at thestart demonstrated their undoubted superiority in coin bin a-t on work. The two Pat tons withstood the attack like Trojans, K.C.

Putton having an especially dangerous lift that told in his team's favor during the evening, but the Crystals were not to be denied, tswilt made a couplo of really brilliant rushes, but they did not materialize, and, finally, Murray shot the pick out from the corner and Brown scooped it In for ti Crystals oiler about three minutes' play. 'I he second game as ephemeral in duration. lt lasted a brace of secon Is.iSwift rushing it up and through, making the score ono and one. Murray got the faco as usual in the third, and the play was kept In Quebec's territory all the tune. Mctjuiston worked np another point tor the Crystals by a neat run from the side on a pass from Kiichie.

Play bad hardly recommenced In earnest I if re Brown miule another rush, muring another game for the Crytals. Alter the face in the next game, play was interrupted for awhile, owing to an injuiy suMuiiied by ono of theOjtiobecer. The delay over the Crystals' forward (Iiumoii ii i ml a strenuous effort, but I lolly huift stopped it and supplemented tho work ith one of his brilliant rushes that told, taking the fifth game for tho CjuebecerH. The score was now three and two, but the Crystal forwards were too "quick on the puck" lo let any chance slip, and Biown K-o'ed for the home team. Hull time was called shortly affer this, ui hen pluy as resumed the Quebec bed the best of it.

Tho advantage was only momentary, however, for tho team piny soon told against individual ell'ort, ul Brown auain did the tu.edlul. in the i.ext the puck was hordly ever in Quebec's territory, the game being remurkahlo for the clo-ie play of the hi me team in front rf the visitors' goal-l. Mint nfier shot as stopped, but event-null Murray insinuated himself into and out 1 1 a senmmae with the rubber and sent it through. In the ninth Howe made a splendid run. which was sucecsMul, making ttiu third and lat goal that the Quubecers ttok.

The remaining two ere taken In short older by tho home team, Murray doing the needful in each cahe. With the exception ol (Swift and Howe the Crystals were a long way the fastest tuim. In hut it would be nurd to find svulter forwards than thelatter possessed, and it was this as much as anything that told, for, coupled with their splendid ei nibination work, it was irresistible. Their bsi division is good also, Boone ustmg no time with the puck, and it is aiod men thai paf-ses McHonnell. For tLe QiiebecB Holly (Swift did most of the work, but their back division is very strorg and if their forwards practice a little more team play they will bo in it ith the best of them.

'J hop. r. Pellelier moved the ad-drt'rs in a very able review of the programme ol the Government, pointing out the wisdom of their iiolicy in curtailing expenses and promoting tho agricultural rei-ources of the province. Hon. Mr.

Heche seconded the address in a brief resume, Hon. Mr. Marries opened his remarks bj ulogizing Lieutenant-Governor Chop-leau. The province liad canlidence in bun, and tho ceremony yolerday, ut which the attendance was larger than over seen since Confederation, jnoved this. It was not his place to pruiso the Lieutenant-Governor, btil in his opinion ho would make a good Governor, ise, impartial and constitutional, and ho (Mr.

Marries) would bo surprised if he was not a model ono. Ho regretted no explanations wore givon of the ministerial changes. He was pleased to M-e that tho Government was practising economy. He proceeded to condemn tho 'lax bill as beyond all necessity. The Opposition would aid the Government as fur as possible.

It liad become fashionable to ask for the abolition of the council. He thought the country would never consent to such a meusnre. Kvery assistance would be given by the Opposition in restoring the finances to a satisfactory basis and also in reducing the expenses of tho chamber. If the did not take the initiative in this tho Opposition would. aul ltenrenentatloii In the t'aliluel.

He regretted that the Council chamber wus not represented in the Executive council. It was the first time since Confederation, and tho Government should be notified that the House did not approve ot the course pursued. In view of the circumstances ho had prepared a harmless resolution that the last paragraph ol the address be amended by tho insertion of the words that the Legislative council regrets that it is not represented in the Cabinet. Lou. Mr.

Archambnull socondol tho amendment us expressive of the dignity of the chamber and desirable, llo hul Unit the absence of a minister was detrt-inoi tul to the coiirso of public business. Hon. John Poss referred to the various clauses of the speech in eulogistic terms. As to the amendment, lie said the ab-sencoof a minis'erwas regrettable, but accidental, and too situation was one due to causes ol an unusual nature. Ha was authorized to state that the dillicully would be remedied at tho earliest possible moment.

Tho Government was evidently lukewarm. Hon. Mr. Chapais expressed regret at the difficulty, but in view ot tho assurance made by the Hon.

J. ltoss would vote against the amendment. Hon. Mensrs. Wurd and Melhot alsi expressed the opinion that the ministry should be represented in the Council and the amendment wus put and carried on division.

The House adjourned. 1JKOUGHT TO LOWELL. Uenvral llutler's IlMly Received hr Him For in er Fellow t'ltlxeun, Lowm.i,, January III. The remains of General liutler arrived here this momiiig. A great crowd of people of all ut' filled the stations.

The casket was taken from the car by a guard composed of U. Y. Butler Post, U. A. who accompanied them.

On the casket lay a wreath placed upon It by President Harrison, in Washington, yesterday. Paul Butler, with bis sister, Mrs. Blanche Butler-Ames, followed the body from the train, and as the casket was being placed in the hearse, entered their carriages. Tho lieaioe and carriage, escorted by the Grand Army guard, were then driven to the General's late home, a mile from the station, tho procession being viewed by thousands of persons who lined the sidewalks. The mills will close on Monday, the day of the funeral, and business will be generally suspended.

A Liberal Conference. London, January 13. Mr. Gladstone, Mr. John Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, and Mr.

Justin McCarthy, to-diiy held a long conference to consider tho financial proposals to bo embodied in the Home Rule bill. flAltCIIAIJi. Government bad not said that luoy would abolish the tax. Mr, Mitn limid' Want or I.iiale.. Hon.

Mr. Taillon suid that Mr. Mar-chand was not logical. Ho asked them to lbrgot the past and to ceaso reproaching Mr. Mercior for his bad administration, but he himself did not hesitate to criticise Mr.

Angers severely for having had recourse to a vigorous measure in dismissing Mr. Meruier. At the last election in Chambly he hud himself asked the people to veave all recriminations, to forget the past and to work together for the prosperity of the province. Called to the head of the Government be hud met with the sympathies of ull his adversaries, and ho hoped that this mark of coulldence would continue, above all in questions in which politics, as, for instance, the improvement of auriculturo. It was said that he was only an amateur premier and Unit he would retire soon.

Ho did not know what the future might bring forth, but he wi uld do his duty to the end. Ill Kullnmlea Would Nliow Vcomiiiiiv. Ho re ill i I'd to Mr. Marc hand's attack upon lie governmental economies by faying that the estimates would be biought dow shortly and it would then be seen that the supplies voted at tho last session bud been morothansulliciunt. The tax bill was not perfect, but it was not so imperfect as the Opposition would have us believe.

The Government would probably con fine itself for this session to amendments as to details, in order to fucililate tho execution of tho present htw, and at the next session the whole law would be thoroughly overhauled. In England they bad been working for fifty years on the income tux, and it was not yet perfect. The difficulty seemed to be that the public feared this tax would bo I crnmneiit, but hen the people saw tho ecommies the Government, hud made they would change their opinion. At six o'clock the Speaker loft tho chair. Alter I lie Iteeena.

After the recess Mr. (Stephens said ho thought that, ucrordingto the statements of the Government, they appeared to have a surplus of and if this wan so it was unite clear that there was no need lor additional taxes. He held that the present Government was a coalition and tot a Conservative administration, and the ministerial benches contained a large number of men who wore elected by Liberal votes. He proceeded to criticise the ministerial schemeof taxation as applicable to Montreal, holding that it as unequal, and especially burdensome to niiull grocers. He advocated the English system of raising a revenue by the payment of a portion of dividends, a plan hich reached tho property holders in a ery direct manner.

Proceeding to the subject of agriculture, ho said ho was glad to see that the Government intended to pay special attention to it, and ho hoped that efforts would be made to prevent cur agricultural population leaving tho country in search ol work. Winter Dairying-. Winter dairying was then alludod to by the speaker as highly desirable, but he pointed out that this was impracticable as long us tho present dofectivo system of farm stabling was continued. The first thing to teach the farmers in connection witti this subject was lo improve the architecture of their stables. He advocated the support of tho Verdun abvlum, which he held up as one of the most vuluablo and beneficial of institutions.

Passing to the clause relating to the intentions ot the Government with regard to tho sale ol intoxicating liquois; he said that one principle source of evil was the corner grocery. He sympathized with any intended remedial legislation on behalf of a class that much needed it, and would support it. In no case ought a railway subsidy to be paid until the line had been running six months. If this coutse was pursued fewer lines would bo built, and no lapsed subsidies should be renewed, llo concluded by advocating a substantial assistance to the dairying in-tercets, hich ho held were most important to tho country. Hon.

nr. llnll on I lie Tamil I on Hellenic. Hon. Mr. Hall followed and, replying to the criticisms on the system of taxation said that the lax on municipalities was impracticable, as the Provincial (Secretary found it almost impossible to get returns fr municipalities.

The House could see by the annual reports that from 200 to 250 secretary-treasurers did not make any returns. Many municipalities were indebted to the Government for Court house funds, and it was almost impossible to collect the debt. The proposition made was very ell in theory, but impossible in practice. The Government had to moot obligations of five or six millions in July next, and it would not do to go and say the people would not pay the taxes. The existing tax was being collected by our ow ollicers, and with tho exception of cue extra clerk the scheme could disappear to-morrow if occasion arose and no one would have any claims on the province for being deprived of his situation.

A NM-ellie Tax In lair. He claimed that he paid more to this tax than any man in Montreal, except perhaps manufacturers, llo paid 2i per cent of his salary as minister, and out of fiis indemnity as member, $100 in all. This was more than was paid by the member for Huntingdon. Mr. (Stephens" 1 would like to exchange positions with you." Mr.

Hall went on to show that tho specific tax would bo unjust as the poor would have to pay as much as the rich. They had to grade the tax in some way. Kentuls in Montreal wore much higher than in any other part of the province and last year the valuation whs increased by while on all the rest of the province the increase was not more than ten millions. Ho showed bow hard it was to devise any system by hich the tax could be levied equitably, and as to the proposal to tax personal property ho would Ioave Mr. Hack eft and Mr.

(Stephens to fight it out between them. Mr. (Stephens I am in favor of it. Mr. Hall You said differently to a deputation rn Montreal Hr.

M'ilieim Explain. Mr. Stephens said ho had declared hiui6elf in favor of taxing land without tuiing improvements thereon. He was in favor of taxing dividends, which conld be easily reached, and by this means they could also reach a class of mortgages. After some further interruptions Mr.

Hall resumed, and declared himself strongly in favor of assisting agriculture, which was the mainstay of the prosperity of the province. Mr. Uocheue followed with one of his old time speeches, but added nothing to the debate. The address was then carried unanimously and the usual motions as to presenting it to the Governor adopted. The Montreal I.eitlitlation.

On motion of the Hon. Mr. Taillon, it was resolved that on Monday the House should go into committee of supply and committee of ways and means, i Hon. Mr. Taillon said there were two fietitions in connection with the Montreal pill one by Mr, Kennedy and ono by Mr.

Stephens. If the House was willing he would move that they be received now in order to save time. Mr. Stephens" 1 demand a few days' delay," Hon. Mr.

Taillon asked if that applied to the other petition as well. Mr. (Stephens replied in the affirmative, Mving he wished to show no partiality. lion. Mr.

Mareliand asked if there ere any ministerial explanations to be made as to tlio changes in the Cabinet, lie wanted to know why Mr. Taillon was 1'remier to-day, while at the last session it was Mr. de Jtouchervillo. Hon. Mr.

Taillon replied that in few days he would be able to satisfy tho legitimate curiosity ot the Opposition. Mr. l'cscarries then moved the address in reply to the speech from tho throno. lie eulogized nor Anders, who liad not feurod to draw upon himself the condemnation ot a cliipio by performing an art hich, though severe in the eyes of a certain portion of the population, had saved the province. Ho referred also to tho duht of gratitude the province owed to Mr.

de Hcucherville and Mr. Taillon for the economies they liad elleetol in their endeavor to establish an equilibrium in our linances. lie said it would bo necessary to amend lit) Licensa law, and the Code of Civil Procedure; to abolish tho District MaMistrates' courts in Montreal, and take nil means to eueoiirago agriculture and keep our farmers at homo They must receive a proper agricultural training in order that they may compute on equal tei ins in the markets of Kngland ith the farmers of the States and of the old countries ot Kurope. Hr. llarkeft Nteoii'l.

(lie Iteiily. Mr. llackett, in seconding tho address, paid a liiu'li tribute to ox-Lieutenant-Governor Anders. Anne of his predecessors had ever encountered duties so heavy and so arduous, but his energy, isdom and force of character bad en-abled him to fullil those duties well, and the brightest page of Canadian history would be the record ol the Lieutenant-Governor ho liad just been rotr.ovod from the scene. But as the saving went, Le ftoi est Mort Vive lo KoL" White we regretted deeply the departure of Mr, Angers we bailed with pleasure the advent of a statesman of great ability and tact to fill the position.

Since last session the Premier who, In March last, had rescued the province, had been obliged, on account of his advanced age and ill health, to retire, but, he had been replaced by one of the foremost statesmen, arid certainly one of tho greatest etaiesmen of the day a man who was without tear and without reproach and devoted to bis country and its best interests The province as proud to greet Mr. Taillou as Premier. The promises made by the de Boucherville Government had been carried out to the letter, and there was now a material change for the better the financial situation ot the province. The Ex I rains fi re of the Past. An era of extravagance, unparalleled in the history of the world, had necessitated the imposition of new taxes, but be hoped the new system of taxation to be introduced ould be one that would merit the universal approbation of the people ol the province.

If he were allowed to make a suggestion it would be that they Bhould tax dollars as well as acres, movable as well as real property, and make money locked up in the banks and in farm mortgages contribute to the necessities ol the country. The province was spending a large amount yearly on pensions lor public ollicers. lie tbougiit it would be far better to make ariangements with some company to insure their employes. There were some officials, registrars and others, who were receiving far more than ministers. This was not riv lit- They should receive iair ai reasonable salaries and the balance should go U) the treasury.

The Government should do all in their power to encourage agriculture. If they could show that there as a future for fanners in this country they would have done more than liad been done by all ttio legislation since Confederation. Farmers did not get the same protection as manufacturers, either in Canada or the United (States. Hi In the Farmer Out. It ought to be a national work with us to decrease his buruens and to teach him the elmients of agriculture.

In England and (Scotland, where our farmers entered into competition ith all the nations of Kurope, we stood at the head as regards butter and cheese, liut we must not be content ith this. We should train our farmers as carefully as we do our professional men and assist them in every way to become prosperous, contented and happy. As to the license law, we should separate liquor from grocery licenses, and give cities, towns and municipalities the right to control the number of licences. Above all, every bar should be closed from (Saturday night till Monday morning at 7 o'clock, lie hoped that steps would be taken to see that railway cornpames that were receiving subsidies from the Government would be compelled to pay sub -contractors, those who sold the right of way, and those who gave their labor. It was the Government's first duly to protect poor people.

Hon. Hr. flarebaud'S' Reply. Bon. Mr.

Marc-hand said it was not fair to charge the hole responsibility for the present financial state of our finances on theMercier administration.

He criticircd the financial administration of the present Government, which, instead of effecting economies, as it had promised, had spent large sums in wreaking vengeance by instituting judicial proceedings against their oli' adversaries. Why not by means of further economies render it unnecessary to impose new taxes? ny pot abolish the Legislative council wh-m we were too poor to pay for such a luxury? The Stw Tuxes. lie could appreciate the fact that the Government bad not bad sufficient time to prepare a perfect system of taxation at the last session, but had counted upon them having been able by this time to improve it by removing all the illegalities and the injustices, but they hail apparently done no such thine. All were agreed that the tax was not equitable.

The midwinter meeting of tho National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, which is to bo held at the Cilsey house in this city tomorrow, will bo one of great Importance.

From all that can be gathered among well posted and influential rowing men the generul sentiment is In favor of a Western point Chicago or Detroit, There is un undoubttd prejudice against Chicago on aocouut of the wretched facilities it offers for successful bout racing. Lake Calumet is reported to bo worse than ever this year, and all who hhve attended tho national races held on that course can testify to its unsuitable condition, through the shallowness of the courso and the heavy grow th ol wild grasses. It Is, besides, a doon miles from the World's fair buildings, and the transportation facilities, al-wuyspoor, are liable, when taxed with the unusual crowds present in Chicago next summer, to prove a miserable fail-uie.

The Victoria Hockey team think they can play hockey just some moro than a little bit after the victory over the Ot-taw a hoys, and calculate that thev will make the Quebec men wake up in the morning and reach out of bed for an elixir that is an antidote to that tirod feeling we read about in advertisements, of course it seems out of the way to welcome a visitor with a prospect of dele.it, but everything is fair in lovo and hockey. Ko mutter who wins both sides will know they havo been playing hockey when the second half time is over, und whichever it is everybody hopes the best Bide should win. The Victoria's have a light team but they can shale and save quite a lot of checking. It eeems a loss, too, that Banhin is oil' the team.
