A brief dis cussion of the fisheries question took place" in "the house of com mons to-night. Ellis, a New Brunswick member, asked for. a return of all United States vessels from the board, which had been warned or intimidated by the Ca nadian "fisheries, protection fleet, and recited a number of cases of reported harsh treatment to Amer ican vessels by Canadian officers. Ae said already 120 .complaints had been filed at "Washington Thompson, minister of justice, said Ellis was too flattering when he termed American reports of ill treatment evidence. The particu lars Ellis had given were selections from a number of rambling and inaccurate statements made ag.nnst British and colonial authorities by persons who received a general invitation to send in all the claims the could possibly bring against a nation, which, it was supposed, would in the end have to pay a bill of damages. It transpired not only irom investigation of these complaints, but subsequently b- the admissions of some of per sons who made these unveracious statements that they were uttterly without foundation, that they were reckless, and were oftentimes based on misapprehensions aud want of knowledge of the circum stances. When papers were brought down it would bo found that the statement of a dis tinguished member of the govern ment of the United States that the Canadian fisheries laws and regu lations had been administered with brutality was as preposterous an exaggeration as could be found in the English language, loud ap plause. Foster, minister of fishes, de clined to bring down his instruc tions to the protective fleet, on the ground that it would -be detri mental to properly carrying them out, andraight hamper the nego tiations in progress.

Tlio admiralty has advices from tho north Pacific station to-night, and reports that the Russian fleet in the Pacifio is being constantly reinforced. Dur ing the past two weeks three steam schooners partly armored, one ironclad and several dispatch vessels " and torpedoes, have ar rived, together with two troop ships, each bringing one battalion at full war strength. The British fleet in the north 'Pacific is about to bo strengthened by the addi tion of ships of a more powerful type than those at present on the stations.

"Old Mountaineer," writing to the Walla Walla Statesman of April 30, says: There are from six to eighteen feet of snow on the high ranges along Snake and Co lumbia rivers. There are Irom three to twelve feet of snow on the entire forest line of the Blue range, and the weather has been cold thereon for one month past; so that the rise o the Snake river has been delayed one month there by. The usual June rise of both Snake and Columbia rivers will take place at the first warm moon, and wet or rainy weather prevail in May "A wet Easter, a rainy spring," an old truism based on meteorological facts well authen ticated. It is the general belief of all old river and mountain men that the spring of 1887 will pro duce" the greatest floods ever known in the Snake and Columbia rivers. Both will rise together and the chances for low river towns are not very flattering to permanency, unless built upon a raft and anchored to a fir forest. This is no sensation article, but a forecast of flood-formed facts. Judga R. E. Bybee, of Port land, publishes- a letter in which he charges the officers in charge of the work at the Cascades locks with being in collusion with rail road managers in delaying the important improvements at that point. Ho says that 1,000,000 has been spent on the work, for which there is scarcely anything to show, and adds that, one of the roost successful contractors in the state offers to contract to finish the locks now for 500,000, and would have contracted for the whole work for 600,000 at its commencement.

This purely vegetable pre- faration, now so celebrated as a amily Medicine, originated In the South ia 1828. -It acts on the Bowels and Idneys and corrects the action of the Liver" and is, there fore, the best preparatory medicine, whatever the sick ness may prove to be. In all commqn diseases it will, un assisted by any other medi cine, effect a speedy euro. Theltoeulator is safe to administer ia any condition oT the system, and under no circum stances can It do harm. It will invigorate lite a class of wine, but is no intoxicating bever age to lead to intemperance : will promote di gestion, dissipate headache, and gener ally tone up tho system. The dose S small, not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted. No loss of time, no inter ruption or stoppago of business while taking the Regulator. Children complalrflng of Colic, Headache, or Sick Stomach, a teaspoonful or more will give relief. If taken occasionally by pa tients exposed to MALARIA, will expel the poison and protect them from attack. A PHYSICIAVS OPIXION. I have been practicing medicine for twentv vea and have never been able to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu lator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action, nd arthe same time aid (instead of weak ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the system.
