Judge Cftssels began Chief Couusel Watson's enquiry, last Saturday, and adjourned fur a fortnight, Thu sitting was long enough to show that tin- ao- uompllshed uud experienced wbite- washer, Me. Watson, will determine the lino of Investigation and decide who shall bo Investigated. Ho began by bringing up Comini.-sioinM-s Fysho and Ma/in and demanding to know what ihey meant and whom they meant by their ohargos of "lack of uousolence," To Mr. Watson's stern niiostions the I'ouiniis-siuiiers merely replied that they did not pru]iosu to act as detectives tu a new commission. Asked by the judge aud Mr. Watson whether thoy ivali/.i-d the position of disgrace in whieh they hail placod tin; responsible ofllcOfB of the Marine I apartment Mr. Fysho stilted that it wae the department itst-lf and the facts whieh brought ubout tlie position. So lhe ease stuniU over, the former commissioners declaring tbal they stand by overy word or their report. CONCERNING PADDED ACCOUNTS. Enquiry by a speeial committee of live members wus started on Friday In to the charges mado by Major Hodgson that the contractors' schedule of work on tho Transcontinental hud been so padded as to cause a loss or millions to the country. The minority members of the committee are Messrs. Marker and Lennox. The majority ure Messrs. GeotTrlon, Maedonald and Carvill, ull skilled and experienced obstructors. Mr, Muedonald takes the ground that it is not the business of the committee to Und out whether padding of the accounts is aetuully taking place, but only whether Major flodgins hus personal knowledge of such proceedings. The country is probably inure concerned to know whether these millions are Improperly paid than to Had out about Major Ilodgihs' knowledge. But why should not the enquiry cover both? OUT OF MONEY. The question of supply is urgent. In March the Government took an interim vote to cover one-eighth of ihe fiscal year beginning April lirst, That period is nearly completed, und tbe ministers liuve no money to pay the May bills. It is not a good time for the Government to force on the Opposition n measure to swindle the Conservatives nut of the western seats, which are otherwise coming to them. MORE BALLOTS LOST. The by-election of Stanstead Quebec, held a few months ago, resulting In a Government Victory, has been protested. Corruption and other ottenees are charged, ln tho course of proceedings it was necessary to produce In court the poll books aud other records of the election. Search has been made in the Ottawa otlice where thoy ought to be. but no sign of them is there. The former eiistodian was the clerk in chancery, an ollleer who died recently. Some suggest that he burned tbe papers by mistake. Others believe tlmt ho mislaid them. It is also observed that be was not the only person with uecess to the documents. Others knew thut the StwiBtend trial was coming. Tlie fact is recalled thut when it was found necessary to trace the West Elgin election steal there was a disuppearanee uf ballots from the Koss Government office whore they belonged. It wus at length ad- itted that this valuable evidence luul been burned -of course by mistake. MR. FL'GSLEY'S RECOUD, There is genuine pity for the New Brunswick deputy minister who took his life rather than face the shame oi having draw a largely from public funds fop bis own use. Tins pity i** ■ mixed with wonder iimi former ministers of that province should have es- *! tablished a system under which their ' deputies could keep pursuttal and pub- |llcaccouuts ml' l aud should be aide io withdraw iudeflnitu amount* of public money.
