D. A. Wait, after an urgent plea for the enlargement of the canals, naked the Premier to consider the question of allowing oats to be Included In grains to be given reduced canal tolls.

Sir John Macdonald, in reply, said: Gentlemen, I am greatly pleased to meet you here to-day on such an important subject. I do not think yon will say that the present Government or those who have acted with me for a good many years have been neglectful of tbe great work of transportation, both by land and water. As you know the commission that sat a good many years ago to investigate the water communications of Canada made a very exhaustive report, and tbe recommendations of that report have been steadily carried out since. It is true that the St. Lawrence is one of the greatest and most important lines of transport in the Dominion, but it is not the Bole one, and you must remember that the Government of the day are the servant of Parliament, bound to carry out the orders of Parliament.

Parliament is composed of representatives from all portions of tbe Dominion. They are all tax-payers. They all contribute to the cemmonfund and tbey all rightly insist upon having their fair proportion of tbe revenues collected expended In the different localities. There are large sections of Canada which bave no means of water transportation. Tbey look to the railways, and the Government of tbe day is obliged to consult Parliament as to tbe best mode of promoting railway communication In the various portions of the country.

There is a demand not only for railway omniunlcation, but for water communication where the circumstances of the country will allow. Therefore, with every wish to complete, as soon as possible, TIIK ORKAT WATERWAY OP Trig ST. LAWRKNCE, the Government has boon obliged to distribute the spare revenues of the country, so ir as Providence will allow and the credit and means of the Dominion will permit without going into a foreign market to borrow, fairly in every province of the Dominion. I do not think that my good friend (Mr. Barlow, Cumberland) has used a very enticing argument in favor of his scheme when he condemns the wisdom of Parliament in spending money in other places.

1 think Parliament is a bottur judge of that than he is. With respect to tbe canals they nro being steadily enlarged. They are steadily going on. There is an annual vote which Parliament makes, and I shall have the pleasure, in a day or two, of asking Parliament to make farther votes for the purpose of improving the waterway via the St. Lawrence.

(Cheers.) I loarn from my good friend, Mr. Page, engiueer-in-chlef of canals, that we may fairly calculate upon tbe enlargement of the Kt. Lawrence canals throughout within the next three years. (Loud cheers.) One oi the arguments in lavor of enlarging the canals which I have heard to-day is that it will AIID TO TUB REVENUES OP CANADA, and that the deficiency which at present exists will be removed by that enlargement. My experience is tbe other way.

(Laughter.) The more the canals were enlarged the stronger became the presume from the good people of Montreal, who wore not at all selfish but did it for the good of Before tbe St. Lawrence Canals Will Be Entirely Enlarged. AN UirOKTANT DEPUTATION Brc-elve An Eironraflif Aasnrane nam Air Jobs NardoaalA la Aaawer Their Appeal For Larger Cil From our own correspondent.) Ottawa, March 18. The St Lawrence canals are to be deepened and enlarged within three years. That is the promise Sir John llacdonald made this afternoon to an important deputation of shipping men, forwarders and merchants which waited on him in the Tower room.

Hon. Mr. Colby and the following members of Parliament were alto present Messrs. Curran, I.epine, Kirk pat rick, Masson, Bain (Soul-angis), Bergeron, Cockburn, McMillan (Vaudreuil), Kenny, Taylor, Small, Shinly, tmith (Ontario), Ward, Hickey, White (Cardwell), Dawson, McKeen and Mc-Dougaldjd'icton). Mr.

A. M. Smith, of Toronto, opened the I all by stating that the delegates represented the Canadian Marine association and Boards of Trade of Montreal, Toronto, Hamilton, Kingston and Port Arthur, and that the object was TO IHPItEBS TUB QOVERNUKNT with the absolute necessity for the early deepening and enlargement of the bt. Lawrence canals to tbe same capsci as the Welland canal. He introduced Captain Fairgrieve, of the Canadian Marine association, who told how, at the last annual meeting in January last, they had passed a resolution In favor of the objects tbe tbey desired, and that the deputation was result of that meeting.

There was tbe tost need for the improvement requested. Canadian vessels fast disappearing from the lakes because there was no encour. Hutment to build new ones with the difficulties of the canals to contend with. It was true some of them had built large vessels for use in the enlarged canals, but they could not use them further than Kingston and consequently they were to sing a song of patience. If tbe canals were enlarged Montreal could hold her own and a big increase would take place in the tonnage of her Bhipping.

As they were things were going from bad to worse every year, for often they could not rind the 8 ft. 6 in. in the canals where there bould be 9 ft. Mr. A.

T. Freed, of Hamilton, urged the enlargement of the canals as in the interest cf the whole country. The present expenditure would prove useless until the canals were enlarged. Half of the present expenditure of FOHTY MILLIONS WAS PRACTICALLY WASTED. He contended that every farmer in Canada would benefit by the reduction of freight on grain to the extent of 2 cents a bushel, and 1bat the enlargement of the canals would re-trove the irritation in the States about the alleged discrimination in tolls, and would cement tbe Dominion by creating a great interprovincial trade.

Mr. Barlow Cumberland, of Toronto, recalled a previous delegation on the same subject in 1886 and complained that, although tbey were then promised relief, more tban double the amount of money had been Fpest upon the subsidiary canals, such as the Murray, Trent and Chambly, than upon the St. Lawrence canals. He instanced the case of the steamer Rosedale, which was brought from London to Chicago. Her freight was $4 ton, but it cost over $1 a ton of that for transhipment through the canals to Kingston.

There were many similar cases where, if the canals were large enough, it would be profitable to sail vessels from Jake porta right through to Europe. Gnat trade vutas were opened up by the meie proBpect Such a policy would increase tbe interprovincial trade (and he regretted the absence of statistics regarding that trade) and would beneiit all parts of tbe Dominion. Captain Gaskin, of Kingston, told how the enlargement of the Welland canal hod increased the trade of tbat city, and was confident a further enlargement would do n.uch more to aid the development of the country. Mr. Hugh McLennan had been on several pilgrimages to Ottawa, but he had never bem on one which had given him so mu pleasure, because be saw signs of progress all round them.

When they in Moutre.il iiist began TO AGITATE FOR DKEPER CANALS years ago theJWest was as silent as the grave. Tbe statements presented to-day were the most encouraging. As a merchant he could assure Sir John that the trade cf the country was only limited by the tonnage at Montreal, which, In turn, was limited by the canal ton-tinge. They conld not get vessels to visit Montreal wben they had no return cargoes lor them. They In Montreal had done well, despite their drawbacks, in securing nine million bushels of grain last year, three millions out of every 100 millions on tbe continent.

When they bad increased freight accommodation this amount would be enlarged. He was boart eiid soul in favor of tbe enlargement of the St. Lawrence canals to enable vessels from the ocean to meet those from the lakes. Nr. Maiks, of Port Arthur, believed that If the canals were enlarged Montreal's improved harbor would become one of the greatest trade centres of the now world.

Mr. Robert Reford, of Montreal, speaking for tbe ocean steamship trade," urged the benefits which would be derived from the dei pen I tig of the canals. As it was now the trade of tbe great West, which should go to Montreal, whs diverted to New York, Huston acd other points. He told how steamships lurrgitKD moM lack of cargoes, adding that It looked now as if they would have this year to come out In ballait, The enipetition of American ports was every day becoming more keen and they required all the laud facilities to enable them to gut trade which was being taken from them now. Mr.

A. G. Thomson, of Montreal, was Lesrtily In earnest In his advocacy of this police of canal enlargement and wished that as soon as prac ticable forwarders would adopt tluniielvfs to the clrniimslanues of lisde. 'J en years ago the largest vessels on Usui trime, if it does not prove lata). Many make tbe mistake of sup.

I understand that to many conflicting roports have reached Minneapolis and St. Paul tbat your people bave become somewhat indifferent to appeals for aid. I hope tbey may soon become aroused to the urgencies of tbe case, for there Is certainly great need of help and tbat speedily." "MndrcK.

The learned judge below found it In the admissions made by defendant in bis plea of compensation In-sirtlng upon credits, some of which were given, and others were asked by him In his own Interest, and of which he had tho bane-fit In the final judgment.

It was found that there was a sum of $10 which had been paid In cash by the defendant's wife, and also $20.30 for payments on goods supplied In 1878 and 1870, and also In the years 1881, 1883 and 1884, and deducting these sums there remained $170.30, for which judgment went for plaintiff with Interest from service and costs.

A UETTEK MAIL SKKV1CG Bowtht Between Liverpool and New 1 oikltedtiwl Ocena Foalnge Kntee Hie SI. Lawrence Ilrlilae Bill Attain. The usual weekly meeting of the Board of Trado council was held yesterday afternoon, there being present Messrs. J. 1'.

Cleghorn, president, In the chair Edgar Judge, Robert Archer, Jas. A. Cantlle, Chas. Cbaput, E. B.

(Ircenshlelds, C. P. 1 1 chert and Thomas G. Sbaugbnessy. A communication having been received from tbe honorary secretary of the Imperial Federation league, respecting the desirability of procuring a uniform penny postage, the council decided to inform the Canadian Postmaster-General that it would welcome a uniformly reduced rate, Tho Montreal pilots wrote, expressing thanks to the council for its action In connection with the pilots' request, as published In last we-ek's report.

It will be remembered that the council has been opposing the proposal to bridge tbe St. Lawrence near (iauanoqtie. Yexterday Mr. Wainwrlgbt, who has been In Ottawa for the puipose of opposing tho measure on bubal of the council, lent word that It had been thrown out of committee without a division. A bill Is being Introduced Into tbe Cjiiebeo House to amend tbe code of civil procedure with respoct to the abandonment of property.

This Is being opposed by theQuebuo beard, and the Montreal board has instructed Mr. Hull, M.P.P., to oppose It on their behalf as being unnecessary and likely to lead to further amendments of an objectionable (hnractcr if brought before the Houss. The letter from the Great North Western Telegraph company regarding tbe stoppage of quotations aud reports by tbe Chicago boaid, was laid on the table. It has already ajipc arid In the Gazette. As announced in Monday's Issue, a delegation has been appointed to proceed to Ottawa to interview the Government on the following points Canal enlargement, deep water basins in Lacblne canal, permanent reduction of canal tolls aud the Inclusion of oats in tbat reduction.

The delegation will consist of Messrs. It. Reford, Andrew Allan, D. A. Watt, D.

0. Thomson, Hugh Mc Lennon, J. 8. Noirls, W. W.

nilvie, L. J. Siargeant (chairman Montreal Warehousing company) and A. F. Gault.

The Mayor wrote expressing his regret at being unable to accompany the deputation, but assured the council of bis personal svmpatby and that of tho City council with the object. Mr. Johnson, statistician of the Depart ment of Agriculture, has forwarded to the board a copy of the tarilfof tbe Argentine Republic. It may he seen at the secretary' oil ice by tbose interested ia that country. Contrary to the assurances of Its pro moters, it being stated that the proposed LongUcUll bridge will interfere with navigation, tho council has requested tbe committee formally appointed on that matter to fui tin enquire Into It, and ompowered the ccmnilttee to, if deemed desirable, oppose ti incorporation of tbe bill.

A mutter of considerable importance was betoie the council in the English mail question, which has been delayed somewhat of late. A case was cited of New York bouts. The Britannic and City of Paris left Liverpool on Wednesday, March 8th, the former I oat carrying tbe malls, nbe arrived in NtwYork on tbe 15th, while the City of Purls reached there three days before. Tbe mails got to Montreal on tbe 17th. Now, this season there will be four boats from New York, two Ionian line and two White Star.

These boats staiting on the tame day will, of course, race, and thus give a fortnightly fast service. The council tberetore resolved to communicate the facts to tbe Postmaster-General, and, with a view to remedying tbe present state of affairs, suggest that the British authorities should be Induced to give tbe malls on condition of a steamer each week. The mall cervlce would thus be vastly accelorated. Mr. Daniel (lilmour, of Messrs.

Chase Sanborn, was elected to membership of the Board. KOIITU DAKOTA NEEDS AID. A Hellenic le Procure Reed Wheat For llrsllliil farmer. (Minneapolis Tribune. H.

T. Helgerson, commissioner of labor and agriculture for North Dakota, is In the city to make arrangements, If possible, to secure a supply of seed wheat for the destitute farmers of his state. He has scheme on foot, the details of which are not yet per fected, which he thinks win enable him to accomplish his undertaking. What he do. tires to do In tbe first place is to inform the public thoroughly of the actual condition of nil 11 Irs In North Dakota and then to have the newspapers advocate his cause.

Mr, Holgor-sen says the farmers holds the papers of Minneapolis and St. Paul responsible for the defeat of (he lottery bill, and that as that bill, if passed, would have given him seed wheat, they look to tuese papers to help tfaim now. When tbe lottery bill was first Intro- dured," said Mr. llelgeson, but few of tho (aimers favored lt. But as time passed and destitution stared them In the face, they begun to advocate its passage, not on moral grounds, but as a matter of absolute necessity.

They believed lt to be morally wrong, but wore willing to accept anything that would relieve their temporary distress, jf provision Is not mada for these unfoitunato perplo whereby they can secure seed, the fnimers will certainly send a legislature to Bismarck next winter that will pass a lottery bill by a good majority. When a man's ifomaih is crying out for stistonanca ha Is scarcely lu a position to reason from a moral standpoint. Mr. Jlelgerson nas just returned irom a tour of Inspection throughout North Dakota to Investigate the destitution. He says there are at.

least 0,000 people who are in needy condition, aud that It will take about 300,000 bushels of wheat to supply them with seed.

The answer of plaintiff alleged an Interruption of prescription by means of payments in money and iu kind made by the defendant, and appearing in the accounts rendered as well by tbe plaintiff as by the defendant. The question Is whether this Interruption Is legally proved, the statements of account by both parties and tbe admission in the plea of compensation being tbe only proof. The defendant contends tbat it Is not sufficient, and he cites the cases oi Fuchs vs. Legarre, 3 Qu.

R. p. 11, and the case of Caron vs. Cloutier in tho same vol. p.

230. The first was decided in 1H70 after the code and a month before the famous cans of Walker vs. Sweet (20 L. 0. 1., p.

29) In tbe Court of Appeals a case which restored the law as It was before the equally famous case of Bowkor vs. Fcron, 10 L. C. or lather stated tho law as it existed after the coming Into force of the code which did not govern the case of Bowkor vs. Feron.

lt established tbat the short prescriptions re-feried to in articles 2280, 2260, 2201, and 2202, are liable to be interrupted and renounced in the manner prescribed by art. 2227. To come back to Fuchs vs. Logare, It held tbat the itrment deritoire could not be put to tho defendant In a commercial nsc above $80 but lt did not decide that the prescription could not be Interrupted. On the contrary, Mr.

Justice Casault, In his niost lucid and able judgmont, laid down the law on that point In these words He said 11 Notre code admet que la prescription pout etre Inteirrompere (art. 2222) que cette interruption puut resultur eutre antics de la rcnonclatlon dii bonellue dti temps ccoule, ou de la reconnalnance que le debiteur fait du droit do oelul contre luquul II prescrlt (art. 2227). Que lo dubitour petit memo rcnonccr a la prescription acquire, et que cette rcnonclatlon pcut etre expreuve cn Incite (art. 2188).

La prcsomption que tree la lol n'est que pour la dette prescrlto, et ctabllr l'exlstence une Interruption, ou d'uno renonclatton n'est pas InRrmor una prefomptlon legale, mals etabllr que la preemption legale que Ton luvoque n'exclte pas. Dps lors l'lntcrruptlon de la prescription lnvoqtiee par lo debiteur, oil In renunciation a cette acqulse, potivent etre ttnbllcr par tout les mode, de protive qu'admet la lol, et cetto Interruption, ou cette rcnonclatlon peuvent otro prouvees pur ti mollis duns tous los cos ou ceginro ile preuve est permls." Tbe other case cited ly the defendant (Caron vs. Cloutier) was decided the year after tho case of Walker vs. Sweet, and It hold that the prescription nro acquired, no evidence of a more endorsement by tbe creditor of paymonts hlli pfd to liavo been made) by tho debtor could take tho debt out of the operation oi the law respecting the limitation of actions. There Is nothing, then, In either of the cases 1 ited at variance with the decision of Walkor vs.

Sweet, since which time tlm law has always been held to be that Interruption (u be pleaded and proved. The loading Idea or doetilno In that case was undoubtedly founded not only upon a fair construotlon of ait 2207, but also upon an express text of ti code In art 22H4. Art 2207, It was ob-ti rvtd by Judge Tcsslor, did not say that no action could bo maintained alter the ex. plratlon of five tars; but used the words ''aflrrthe delay for the prosnrlptlon has ex. plnd," that Is to say, It Is five years with-cut Inleniiptlon but 'n case of interruption tbe live years begin to run again.

lSSK Bt. Jamea Rtrasl.onm.iu the country (laughter), to have all tbe tolls taken off. Tbat pressure is Increasing and the larger we build the canals aud tbe more expenditure there Is upon them 4he greater will be the insistence for the reduction of the tolls. It appears that we are having a commencement of the attack in regard to the article of oats. That matter is now under consideration, and a number of applications have been received to add oats to the list of articles upon which the tolls have been reduced for tbe coming season of navigation.

How that may end I am not at present able to state. I have taken a hint from Mr. Thomson and have given him a hint that TERIIAPS IN THREE YEARS the canals will have been enlarged sufficiently for him to commence laying the keels of some of those fine steel vessels he speaks of. But then, gentlemen, there is another consideration which you must think of. We have to consider whether we shall remain long enough in the Government to do this.

(Laughter.) If you read the papers, and also read that very agreeable and pleasant, light-reading, Jfantard, containing the speeches oi members on both Hides of the House, you will find that tbeie is a perpetual charge made against the Government of extravagance, of spending much money, of wasting the monoy of tbe country. Instead of saving it we are continually being told that wo are corruptly bribing the people of Canada by building railways and canals and public works in evory county in Canada. Well, gentlemen, if that be corruption we must plead guilty and I hope you will be as conupt as tbe Government and Aid them In this corrupt system of bribing all parts of Canada by improving and developing il, (Cheers). Ithank you again for coming to see us, Mr. Smith returned thanks on behalf of the deputation for tbe courtous way In which tbey had been received and the Interview then closed.

The Regular Way. Yes, there, says Le Courrier da Canada, Is Mr. Polette's deposition. It proves that of $3,000, the price at which the Government purchased the lato Judge Polette's library, Madame Polette received only $2,301. The remainder, $049, was intercepted on tho way and disappeared In the pockets of the political brokers.
