Smith, of Arizona, who has been fighting for the admis sion of the territory for a doxen years, had Just made a vigorous . speech against Overstreet's amendment, when he was seized with a rush of blood to tbe head.

Considerable resentment la expresed at the bargain made by Messrs. Har lan 4 Wolff, he shipbuilders, with tha combine. Tbe Telegraph learns that the omission from the publication of yesterday of tbe agreements with th German steamehip lines was in defer ante to the expressed desire of the Grman companies.

", "We should recognise, as the United States has done, that the deepening of the approaches to our great porta should be a national charge aa tha work required now is too great for the teat authoritiw," Mr. Pierre said he believed that the present agreements entered Into would bring about community of Interests and greatly benefit British trade and commerce. At the same dinner the Duke of Ar gyll complimented the work of tha Canadian troops in South ' Africa and advocated the government placing good battleships, provided with first class guns, in Canadian waters for the purpose of training Canadian fisher men for naval duUes, thus securing A valuable body of men for tbe nary.
