The reply of the X'orthwest council to Lieut-Gov- Dewdney's address was issued late this evening. It states that the settlers, being British subjects, are aware that distrust and uneasiness prevail in tho territories tor want of Increased representation, and that the census would show that the de mand tor local selt-governnient was not outside of a few individuals. It points out that the means for creating schools are still limited. More municipalities would do much prized, nut tho laud graooing companies refuse to p.iv taxes on town .sites in which tho government and Cami' diau t'acillc railway are interested.

The Holt-Vi arner reference case was continued to-day. Cashier Spencer of the firm of Grant & Ward was on the witness stand and the pass books of Grant & Ward 011 the Ma rino bank were offered in evidence. In none of tho books of tho Urm except in the pass books was there any reference to the alleged contracts. There was nothing to show that these contracts really existed On cross-examination the witness said that the account of Grant & Ward with the Marine bank was opened by tho bank placing to Grant & Ward's account $20,000 on two notes for $10,000 each. It appeared that Warner received from Grant & W aril in excess of what monev and collateral ho deposited with the bank, about $l,2.M,;siSl. Tho witness said that since the last hearing ho had traced three checks deposited with Grant Ward by Warner, aggregating $l,so,00 thus reduc ing the excess received by Vt arner to tho amount mentioned above. The personal account of Ward and the accounts of tho firm with the Marine and First Xationiil banks were made up largely ot tne monevs deposited iv cus turners with the firm. It was plain from tho books of tho Urm that Mr. Ward took tlio collateral deposited with his firm and borrowed money on it for his own and the llrnrs use. At tlio time ot Grant and aril's failure they were borrow ing about twelve millions', only half of which rightfully heloii'-cil to the firm for such a purpose.
