SION SCHEME.

The eyes of all Belgiam ure on the Chamber, for the destiny of the port of Antwerp is now in its hands. There is much heated debut and aring casabinad i "pposition to the plan of the port extension by Juuson of the Government baring with the military plan for increasing the r of the city by demolishing the present fortities tions and building new ones at a far great distance from the city's centre. There is a strong anti-militarist party who firmaly believe that such an increase in the defences will of necessity require a proportionate increase in the army contingunt, and for this reason they fight the combined project tooth and nail. Had the two projects beeu separated there is little doubt but that the port improvement play would havo been quickly carried.

I tell it yon, moh bon, it is a place where you amuse you if you know the how, is London, And the café of the petites misses--they are quite out o' sight."
